still some anxiety

I apologize for all of these posts. This is just a great outlet for me and it makes me feel less alone. I do see a therapist and take medication which helps. But writing or typing my thoughts and feelings is a great outlet for me, even if no one responds!

I finally had a good nights sleep in the new apartment. My boyfriend hasn’t been here the past two nights because he was with family. I am meeting him today at his mom’s house and spending the night there. Tomorrow he will come back to the apartment and we will be beginning our dog. His mom watched the dog so we could set everything up before same came. I’m worried about how the dog with acclimate and if she will bark too much. She’s less than a year and still learning. My boyfriend and I are also teachers and start Monday. We wanted to see how she would do home alone for 8-9 hours but I’m worried. We do have a back up plan of hiring a dog walker but we wanted to see how she would do. We do have a puppy camera so we can watch her.

I feel weird about my boyfriend coming back. I’ve lived alone for four years so it’s different sharing a space with someone. I’m also worried he hates it and doesn’t want to live with me. These are my own thoughts I’m putting in my head and not based on anything he says. J know this is an adjustment for him too so things may be weird or off the first few weeks and that’s normal. In just scared that he’ll resent me for this.

I slept in today but I’m feeling tired again. The move was a lot and I’ve been busy unpacking and setting up my classroom. I’m giving myself grace and allowing myself to lay in bed for an hour before getting ready to go to my boyfriends moms house

Please don't apologize for anything. I'm so glad that this is helping you. Writing is how I process as well; I sort out my thoughts this way.

Like Alpakkaa123 said don't apologize for how you are feeling. If typing out these posts helps you calm down and reset then post away.

Sometimes when I get nervous or need to vent I post. It helps me get my thoughts in order.

Yes, it's an adjustment living with someone. I spent my years alone and then I got a boyfriend. And we had to adjust to both of our idiosyncrasies. We both learned a lot about each other and how we do things. I'm the person that likes to wash the dishes frequently. He's the type of person that likes to wait until the end of the week to do them 😂

wow! The end of the week? Sounds like my husband and I am an everyday kinda girl too! How did you settle that? Just curious? We haven’t yet and have been married 3 years!

Easy, peasy...I do the dishes 😂 I do them while he is at work because he doesn't like the way I wash them. Because I leave the water on while I'm scrubbing and rinsing. It bothers him because I'm "not saving water". But I pay for the water bill. So I'm okay with it 😂

He gets to clean the refrigerator and microwave 😂

My ex and I had a deal that whoever cooked the other cleaned up, except he usually did a lousy job cleaning up and I ended up cleaning up after him, lol(that wasn't the reason for divorce)

It will take time to settle in Daisy but you will get there.

I am however concerned about your dog. 8/9 hours is far too long to leave her on her own, especially a puppy.

She will become very lonely and depressed and its not fair on her. Please sort something out so she isn't left so long as its cruel.

Hi! We found someone but she can’t start until Tuesday, so unfortunately on Monday we may have to leave her alone for that amount of time. It’s not ideal but I’m hoping for one day it’s okay.

hypercat54 in reply toDaisy425

Oh well done. One day will be fine. I was just concerned you were going to leave her most days. So glad you aren't.

No we were thinking of having someone come Monday Wednesday Friday

hypercat54 in reply toDaisy425

And Tuesday and Thursday too I hope?

Daisy425 profile image
Daisy425 in reply tohypercat54

Mostly likely. We just can’t this Monday. So she will have to be alone.

Could you maybe have your parents stop by tomorrow? If I was there, I would jump at the chance to come care for your puppy. I absolutely love dogs!

Unfortunately no :( we have a camera we will set up

Alpakka123 in reply toDaisy425

Good idea! I wonder what puppy will do. Probably raid the fridge, taste the couch, leave deposits in all the rooms, read the paper (then chew it up), watch TV, taste the TV, throw a party for all dogs in the neighborhood, and let's see what else. Oh, and raid the garbage can. Have you seen the movie "The Secret Life of Pets"? It's such a funny movie.

Haha thank you! I’m just a wreck I hope she’s okay for a day

Alpakka123 profile image
Alpakka123 in reply toDaisy425

No problem. It's what I'm here for 😁If you come home to a line up of dogs outside your door, just go with it!

If you come home to your dog swinging from a light fixture, it means that you haven't hidden the booze well enough.

I mean, the possibilities are endless....

Thank you for the laugh I needed it! I know she’ll most likely be okay for one day. I’m just so anxious in general I’m latching onto things and perseverating

I somehow knew you did.How's training going?

I had a Schipperke mix when I lived in the States. He was an awesome dog, but very independent (which made him hard to train). His "sit" for example was "nah... don't want to. But thanks for the command to sit". His "come" was "nope, not gonna do that one either".

As long as she hasn't seen "The Secret Life of Pets", she'll be fine.

Kidding. She'll be fine. Just make sure she has plenty of chew toys around.

She has tons of toys! Training has been interesting. She is a tripaw so that has made leash training more difficult! She is the sweetest girl though and she is pretty good alone. At my boyfriend’s house they would leave her for 4-5 hours and she would mostly sleep. She’s not really a destroyer (thankfully!) unless it’s her own bed or her chew toys!

What's a tripaw?

Daisy425 profile image
Daisy425 in reply toAlpakka123

She only has three legs! We had to get one amputated. She was a rescue and she was born with a weird leg. Something happened with the way she was curled up in her mommas womb.

Hi Daisy, I’m sure you’ll be fine, I’m afraid I have to agree , a puppy should never be left that long on their own , what if she needs to go outside during that time, please do find someone who can take her out at least once a day .

I agree this is a great place to get your thoughts out, it definitely helps to hear others feel the same as you and we are not alone! I also recently moved in with my boyfriend after not living with someone for 10 years. It is a bit of adjustment. Hope yours goes well and your puppy loves it there !
