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

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 😂
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)
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.
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.
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 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!
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.
Leave the radio on a am type talk station,it helps them to adjust and hear familiar words,it's worked for us in the past,I raised my.lil guy like that,radio is good out let,I had to put my lil guy to sleep and it ended a 12 yr best friend relation I still miss him dearly as he was special, smart and best behaved lul guy I've ever seen...try the talk radio n it will help...good luck on everything you guys are trying to adjust to its alot moving, lol..
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 !
