Yeah I know. I used to fight them but I don't anymore. I just accept that that's the way it's going to be.

My parents were always worried that I'd be in the vicinity of drugs and get arrested. Not even that I'd take any necessarily, but that someone around me would be high or something and I would get in trouble.

Right. And it's not like my parents are bad people, or even bad parents. Just super over protective and anxious. I really think I'm doing them a favor when I keep things from them.

My parents have always been overprotective, so I learned early on to keep certain things from them because I knew they wouldn't be able to handle it and would make it into a bigger deal than it is. I never did anything "wrong" exactly, other than the lying. But the things they were certain I would do in high school if…

Quick question that I don't know if you'll have an answer to: She bites her legs sometimes, like she bites her chew toys. Is that normal? She's not biting hard. I've tried looking online and every site I find something different.

Thank you for the advice! These are great resources, I've been trying to do research online but it's hard to tell what is credible and what isn't. I'm glad you gave me that link about dominance, I've already been hearing about that.

Yup, that's definitely me. I spend most of my life in my head, a lot of time "planning" for things that will never and could never happen. I don't think there's anything wrong with that, unless you're unhappy. Sometimes I feel like I need to be doing more with my life and I force myself to partake in some kind of…

It makes sense that you're lonely, especially since you haven't had the support you wanted/needed from other people in your life. I was angry/sad about my failed relationship for a long time after it ended (I still am occasionally, over 2 years later). I wouldn't say I'm lonely, because I have great friends and…

That makes sense too. I just ordered the DNA kit, I'm really curious as to what her lineage is.

Ah so cute! I wouldn't have guessed pug either, but I guess she is mostly chihuahua so that comes out the most. I figure mine has to be part chihuahua because I live in Arizona, where every other dog is a chihuahua.

That is odd, but I imagine that would be adorable. A munchkin husky.

Oh don't worry, I am obnoxious about sharing pictures of her. I predict SNS is gonna be overrun with baby basset hound and baby chihuahua mix pictures for the foreseeable future. And we are all better for it.

We are in the process of kennel training, some days are better than others but she's getting better. And she sleeps through the night! It's amazing and surprising.

I had a dream last night that she grew up to be a horse, and I was mad because I had to buy a new couch so she could fit.

Thank you!

I think vitamin B is more for energy, and biotin is for hair and nail growth. I used to take them both, for those reasons. I don't anymore because I take prescription medicine for energy, but I still take the biotin.

Ooh I like that. I feel sort of dumb when people ask me what breed she is and I say something like... A Pomeranian chihuahua mix? Maybe? I think?

Thank you! Ottomans is what they're called, I think.

I take biotin and a calcium pill everyday, not for nail purposes but I have noticed my nails getting stronger and longer. And the doctor told my mother to take biotin for her weak nails.

It's Saturday! People have mimosas and Bloody Marys for breakfast so you can definitely have wine now.
