Gotta brag on my boy for a minute!! Took him to the store and he was PERFECT. No pulling, gentle sniffing of products only, even open box treats and chews, charmed all the employees without being pushy, and laid down quietly while looking at fishies and while checking out!!
#dogblr#petblr#dog#puppy#borzoi puppy#sighthound#borzoi#Krampus#I was gonna say I can’t take any credit#and he’s inherently wonderful#and we don’t really train at all#but not all borzoi are like this#and they def need firm and consistent boundaries#they absolutely can be hellions like any other breed#but if you let yourself be guided by knowledgeable people in the breed#you too can take full advantage of their wonderful temperaments

Alright but what's this mission Akutagawa is talking about that Dazai abandoned, am I missing something? 🤔
#Is it from a phase where Dazai's story wasn't yet finalized?#Idk as far as I can remember the author always kept pretty consistent with Dazai's pm backstory in the manga since the beginning#osamu dazai#ryūnosuke akutagawa#bsd#bungou stray dogs#bsd s1#bsdrewatch2023#I almost feel like Akutagawa is trying to say “you abandoned me” but can't bring himself to do so#Then‚ the mission Dazai abandoned according to Akutagawa would be the mission of training him.#But Dazai never saw it that way... Poor Akutagawa really#Going to get some tea and eat something brb

Hi Pia! You said that you need another vacation after this vacation, so I am not sure, how puppy situation, even if it partual custudy, affecting you ( may be you in panic when he is there and then recovering when he is not, and then round and round? ), but really, If you need another vacation, I hope you know we will be here to support you for it!
It's been nearly 4 weeks now since we got Toby so I feel like I can talk about this with a bit of a clear head.
(Talk of like an actual PTSD meltdown beneath the read-more, including self-harm mention - nothing graphic. There's zero obligation for anyone to read this, especially for folks who don't think authors should ever be honest about being people with issues):
So, I've been kind of quiet about aspects of this, but I have like severe treatment-resistant PTSD and C-PTSD, and puppies specifically are one of my triggers (especially if I'm responsible for them). The reason for that is kind of awful, and I don't really want to talk about some of the things I've experienced/been through that led to that, so let's just move onto the next part. You're kind of right anon, there has been panic while he is here lol.
As a result, I had a severe meltdown the first time I tried to adopt a dog many years ago now. Could not last 24 hours, needed weeks/months to recover.
But I've always wanted to share my life with a dog and I've been in a somewhat better space over the past year or so, and I thought I could maybe handle it better. I told myself 'if I can just get through that 24 hours I'll realise it's okay and it will all work out.' Anon I cannot tell you where this thinking came from, but it was wrong. Idk why past me was kind of naive enough to think this way but here we are.
No, after that 24 hours, it got temporarily better, and then I slammed into consecutive meltdowns, each one worse than the next, until the people around me were afraid for my life. I am still recovering from some of the harm I inflicted on myself during the last three weeks and likely will be for some time to come. The combination of a really intense PTSD relapse, as well as not being able to handle (as an AuDHD person) intense changes to my schedule basically compounded and I broke.
I made the decision to rehome Toby, and first contacted the people around me. Glen's mum said she wanted a dog, and had been specifically looking into dogs like Toby anyway, and so we decided this would be best because then I could still be involved (I love Toby to pieces).
After getting some space, I finally started to adjust, and have gone back to having Toby about 4~ days a week, with a view to going to about 6 days, with one day spent with my mum, or Glen's mum.
Today is the first day I was able to handle having him on my own for around 9.5 hours. And I'm here and able to write about it, so that's progress. He'll be here all day Sunday, and then Tues-Weds-Thurs-Friday. And from there a decision will be made as to where I'm at with my mental health etc.
I'm a bit more hopeful now that I might be able to keep him, but my PTSD is still very very bad. I'm having some nights where I'm simply not sleeping until 7.30am (even if he's not here), and my hypervigilance is crazy. Like, I am having so many auditory flashbacks it's stupid. So this is why I've been saying this break hasn't been very restful or productive. Because my mental health tanked like I detonated a landmine inside myself.
I didn't actually plan the two week break for Toby! That was just a coincidence honestly.
Unfortunately I have a lot of health conditions that respond very poorly to stress, so I'm dealing with those now too. And then additionally, in all of this, I had a breast scan / mammogram / ultrasound that has confirmed a suspicious lump I found a couple of months ago (breast cancer runs in the family), and I suspect I'm going to need a biopsy. I'll find out on Monday if that's the case. That's been in the background and hasn't been helping.
There's some other stuff going on that's not really worth talking about because these are the main things, but that's a good picture I think. It turns out 'just getting through the first 24 hours' doesn't magically make a severe PTSD trigger go away. And that forced exposure is not 'exposure therapy' - that's just reinforcing a trigger.
Anyway! I feel like I'm through the worst of it, and I am seeing glimpses of how my life could be richer if I keep getting through this. But...that's why I think another break. *smiles tiredly.* I have to wait a bit now for the PTSD / C-PTSD symptoms to settle down, and I also need to see what's kind of worsened after this. Realistically, with a relapse to this degree, it could take between 3-6 months to really start recovering, or to at least get back to where I was before December.
I hope with all my heart I can get there with Toby by my side. I love him so much.
(I want to add that Toby has never ever been in a position of harm at any point, and in fact I probably put myself in harm's way for his sake, because I wanted to provide solid continuity of care - in case anyone was worried about that).
Er so yeah! But I've picked up my writing again this week and have been able to do some like...things I'd been neglecting, and I feel more human again, I just hope I get some sleep tonight
#asks and answers#personal#tobermory the cavoodle#that's also why i haven't always consistently been sharing photos#realistically he's spent about 4 days away from us?#and that alone has been enough to kind of help me sort my head out#when i realised it was PTSD that helped too#because i've been able to spot the severe hypervigilance for what it is#and sometimes just being able to name a thing helps#and finally intensive training with toby#has adjusted some of his behaviours very quickly#and he is now a very calm and well-behaved dog already#we just need to do more separation training and then i think i will finally start#settling a bit more#our vet's super happy with where he's at#but...um...you know it's never nice to make your mum cry#because she's scared for you :(#administrator gwyn wants this in the queue

#whump#whumpblr#whump community#whump fan#intro post#if you don't know the box boy universe (bbu) is a common setting in pet whump works#it consists basically in a very fucked up society with institutionalized slavery where some humans are treated like pets#and this slavery is often regulated by an organization called WRU#every whumpblr may have a slightly different take on this setting but that's what it basically is#also the pets (also called 'box boys' or 'boxies' - that's where the name cames from) are often divided into categories#romantics: 'intimate' servants#domestics: house servants#guard dogs: bodyguards#platonics: something like a boxie who's duty is to make company to you#many of the bbu whump pieces also take place in an 'WRU facility' where the whumpees are trained#so be aware#bbu#box boy universe#if you don't know#there is also a thing called 'nsfwhump'#you may want to block that#or maybe not#you may like it too 🤷🏾♂️#long post#fairly

Articles!
This exercise is our new issue in utility. She is very regularly finding the correct article, bringing it halfway to me, dropping it and then searching the pile again. Most of the time she returns to the correct article and brings it to me...sometimes she doesn't.
So we are working on replacing the metal ones. (I think they're cold, and hurt when they clank her teeth) and building up a lot more confidence again.

Vernetto but solider poet king
Schneider can be the solider :O
YEAHHHHHHHH
#holy shit the nostalgia#schneider and sonetto are very interchangeable imo#sonetto can be a soldier on account of her trained loyal dog thing#schneider can be a poet on account of her consistently deceiving teasing and charming with her words#but i think i agree with your idea more

"well what are YOU doing with your dogs??" vibin, sir
#'but you dont have any of these Challenging Working Dogs' no i dont#because i am a basic pet owner. like the target audience of idk 90% of online training resources#and i went into this with reasonable expectations of what to expect. what i wanted. what my lifestyle allowed.#and what type of dog would be consistent with and thrive within those parameters#so sorry to say i do get to have an opinion#sorry mate

Essie’s first time on a box at home AND a triggered ball!! ❤️🎾
#I pushed a little longer than I should have#turn quality dropped off at the end#now that I know she can consistently get the triggered ball (as long as I squish it in real hard)#next time I will work on tightening up the turn so she’s not coming off wide and hopefully make it snappier#estrella#flyball#box turn#dog sports#dog training#australian shepherd

knowing basic dog training is such a curse. every day i see people getting walked by their dogs with the leash fully taut. or yelling at them to stop barking. or giving a command several times and then giving up.
#people compliment how well behaved my girl is. and like. yeah! it took a lot of work! and so much walking back and forth in the same spot!#when you get a puppy and let it do whatever it wants. you’re going to end up with an adult dog that’s harder to train#don’t even start complaining to me if you’re not willing to put in the bare minimum effort btw#you don’t need to pay a trainer. but if you’re not willing to be consistent then don’t bother#it’s not mistreatment to teach her things and make her behave!! it’s good for their brains!!#em rambles#is this going to cause problems lol. bc it does when i say it to ppl irl

ugh ugh
i started out as a trainer at a big-time facility w lots of other young people and it did a lot for me but ultimately the environment was Highly Toxic and too fast-paced for me and i had to leave. and for whatever reason that was enough for the other trainers there to decide that they want nothing to do with me and they have made a point to give the impression that they Don't Like Me even though i have done nothing but be overwhelmed by the expected output of working at that facility (and the weird neurotypical cattiness of the group that i was consistently confused by)
and that sucks on its own but also due to being in the same small community in the same area i am always seeing things they're doing. and due to them being a big hotshot facility that is now owned by a millionaire businessman, they are getting a Lot of really unique and cool education and mentorship opportunities that i do not have access to.
and it just gives me this twisting feeling in my stomach bc despite us all starting out together, and thinking we were friends, i was ousted from the group due to things i can't control. and that led to them making a point to impress upon me that they're better than me. and now they are getting to work with and learn from world names, so that means that very soon, if not now, they will be right.
#vent#why am i always behind.#i was for a while very good friends with the two head trainers there#but then a couple of months before i left they started icing me out and i have no idea why#i asked them directly and they acted like they didn't know what i was talking about#i don't know i think it's a combo of them being assholes and my Autism tm preventing me from seeing certain social things#that might be obvious to other people#so that was consistently making me feel bad and piled on top of the fact that they expected extremely high output#(each trainer was expected to log one hour of training with a minimum of five dogs each day + conduct two one hour lessons or classes#+ manage all client communications + be available to help other trainers)#and i had to leave.#and that group is super ''ride or die'' so i guess me leaving means im dead to them. i don't know.#and now they are learning directly from people that i read about while trying to self-teach.#yeah you win. i guess you probably feel pretty good about that.#mine#negativity tw

I think being autistic does actually make me inherently better at animal handling because I, too, have been yelled at for growling and biting when everyone ignored my previous warnings and didn’t set clear boundaries
#my roommate’s always like Wow my dog responds so well to you!#yeah bitch I set clear expectations and consistent rules and I don’t yell at him#and I pay attention to his body language and the rituals he creates#literally it’s not that hard#ya she got him to train as a service dog LMAO#she doesn’t have the money to send him to a trainer and the time to do it herself#when I recommended she pull from the emergency fund (because his reactivity is getting BAD to the point of borderline aggression)#she was like ‘who has an emergency fund for their pet :P’#BITCH IDK IM NOT MAKING $30+ AN HOUR WITH A 401K AND FULL INSURANCE PACKAGE#THATS WHY I DONT HAVE A DOG??#just an in-the-works shrimp tank that I do in fact have a small emergency fund for#it’s your job as a responsible pet owner to attend to your animal’s needs. if you can’t do that you shouldn’t have a pet#and she fucking undermines the training /I/ give#like I was teaching him to find a toy when someone knocks at the door to redirect his energy and prevent barking#but now whenever he barks at the door she YELLS at him to find his toy#so I had to stop training that area because like. what the fuck am I gonna do???#notably I am the only person who can consistently get him to stop barking at the door#completely unrelated to the fact that I’m calm and give him treats when he stops barking#and comes over to me and chills out#goddddd I hate her she shouldn’t have any animals ever#anyways what was I saying.#oh yeah I’m the only person in this apartment who should ever be allowed to have a dog#this is also why I dont plan to get one! I recognize that the college life is simply incompatible with responsible dog ownership#(unless EVERYONE is REALLY onboard which. lmao good luck.)
