The pack walk with the kennel club was so cool! There were so many dogs of all different breeds and sizes. Enzo did really well and mostly ignored the other dogs. There were even three Bull Terriers @maycontainthunder including my friend’s dog!

Pictures of me from college are so cringey and the captions are even worse. I was so weird and not in a good way lol
These dogs eat better than I do lol… I’m over here making chicken nuggets and they get a whole gourmet meal
Enzo and I are going for a "pack walk" tomorrow with the local kennel club with about 50 other dogs. This will be interesting, I have never done that before. I have walked multiple dogs at once but not more than like 10 or 12.
My girlfriend and her mom are teaching me to speak Polish and I’m actually learning really quickly!! And we taught my dogs Polish commands. So now I have bilingual dogs lol
Enzo impressed me again with a perfect dumbbell retrieve over 20 times, 5 minute sit stay and down stay while I walked around the facility doing other things, immediately coming to heel without me calling him to heel, and ignoring another dog although they were nose to nose until I gave him his release command. Holy crap, he is everything I’ve ever wanted in a dog.
I wish I could have posted more today. I was busy all day. Going to go to bed now because I can't keep my eyes open lol
Hex is fully recovered from her ACL surgery! We’re back up to 4 mile hikes, running, and competing in obedience trials. She is in really good shape now. Obviously conformation dog shows are not my priority but I think I will show her a couple of times in the summer in addition to competing in rally obedience and earning her Fit Dog title.
My mental health is so much better now. I’m actually doing really well and feel like I’m alive instead of just surviving. Having breaks from work sometimes, working out, not being hard on myself about my body shape, dating, making friends, and working harder to earn titles with my dogs and competing, have all made a huge difference. I’m so much happier than I was for the past few years.
Are first dates supposed to go this well??? Lol… it feels like we have known each other for years and her mom said I’m already part of the family. Her dogs who don’t like most people at all knocked me on the floor licking me.
Going to do a quick grocery run at Stop & Shop. That store gives me more anxiety than any other store and I haven’t been in there for over a year. We will see how this goes…
I actually just bought some dresses and crop tops. I hardly ever wear women’s clothes but I want to have some options for going out, and I’m going on vacation in June.
I‘m also meeting up with that girl later this afternoon but I don’t know if I should refer to it as a date yet.
Went for the best hike I’ve been on in about a year. In my own town! It was a trail that I didn’t even know existed because it was in a rural neighborhood and hidden. I thought it was a driveway so I never tried it until now. I will be going back to this place frequently.
In a surprising turn of events, a girl gave me her number. She said she sees me around all the time and has always wanted to talk to me so she was actually out there waiting for me this time. She is from Poland and speaks kind of broken English. I seem to attract Polish people for some reason since a lot of my irl friends are Polish. What a weird day lol
Holy crap, my friend just texted me the results and we came in 4th!!! I thought I did so much worse than that lmao
In case anyone didn’t see my post about the 5k in the “weird or random” thread, we completed in in under 35 minutes, didn’t come in last, and even jogged part of the way. Even in old running sneakers that were too small. I’m very proud but very tired! And now I’m going to get takeout and go to sleep lol. Hopefully I’ll be able to walk tomorrow.
@Owliet Feel free to send me a message anytime so I don't keep derailing your threads and everyone else's lol!
But I love talking to you!
Maybe putting on weight isn't the worst thing that could happen to me. Having big, fluffy thighs is actually kind of comfy lol
For specific context about my mom, earlier tonight she came over to drop something off, and noticed that I'd gotten paneer tikka masala for dinner. She was like "Eww, is that tofu?" and I told her "No, it's paneer." She looked it up and was like "Why would you eat that? That's DISGUSTING." Like that is not necessary to say to me at all! If you're going to judge my food so rudely, just leave me alone!
My mom is so rude that a lot of times interacting with her just makes me want to cry. I find myself ruminating about things she said that were hurtful and feeling embarrassed that I said something to initiate it, and wishing I'd said something different. When I point out to her that she has hurt my feelings, she gets defensive and yells at me. -
