I’m a dog owner and I hate barking dogs

Not2bObvious · 09/07/2022 12:32

In my family home, there were a family who bred dogs a few doors down, the people right next door were driven to roaring "SHUT UP FOR GODS SAKE" regularly.
It did not work...

No and it’s not the poor dog’s fault either

TheNewlmprovedMrsMadEvans · 09/07/2022 19:00

We have always had dogs and apart from the obvious barking for the postman and doorbell they were fine , l think sometimes they might pick up on the stress in the house the poor things . Sorry you can hear all this noise it must really get on your nerves when you can't get from it .
Hope you are feeling much better now Not Flowers
Life you are keeping it together an ddoing a grand job , your mental health is so important and much more important than that elusive half a stone imho , l hope youknow this is coming form a caring place Flowers
Been good , weather helps no end Smile
Tennis watched , now watching the Grand Prix qualifying Smile

I do know it’s coming from a caring place mrs

Bloody long day here, possibly a good sign as I've been fully awake from 5am'ish so might get a decent sleep. It'll be 7 days on Monday since my first symptoms which I had thought might be a chest infection. Sincerely hoping I'm not one of the unfortunates that gets a 2 week lingering dose!
Glad you're enjoying the TV, I've been binging on utter drivel, about all my brains up to😂

not I lived next door to a neglected dog that barked literally non stop, I had a complaint in motion with the council when the family sold up and moved away. It was destroying my mental health and ruining my enjoyment of my home completely. I was getting complaints from my students as it was lockdown and they could hear the barking in our online lessons. The couple were totally unapologetic and brazen. Much sympathy!
we are having the best time, weather has been fab. Lots of swimming and beach time. I am sure I’ve gained weight but I’ll have to hope I can lose it all before the wedding and fit into the dress 😂

Not2bObvious · 10/07/2022 08:27

The poor creature and poor you, it sounds miserable. Seriously some people, they shouldn't be allowed custody of a spoon let alone a living thing. The dog must have heard me complaining or he's having a lie in, all quiet so far. My last nerve has been v close to the surface, everything was like salt in the wound.
Your honeymoon sounds fabulous, well may you enjoy it and not one second of weight worry are you to have!
I slept decently last night, today I'm just bunged up/puffy & lethargic. Getting there

lifelongfrugaleer · 10/07/2022 09:37

Not2bObvious · 10/07/2022 11:48

Not2bObvious · 10/07/2022 17:52

Oh no, poor kid, is he ok? I'm proper tired out after a few hours in the garden, had a little nana nap after it. Definitely improving but washed out with it. Odd illness for sure

OP posts:
lifelongfrugaleer · 10/07/2022 17:58

He’s really washed out. Flu with a different name but same symptoms

Not2bObvious · 10/07/2022 19:23

Hate when the kids are sick

OP posts:
lifelongfrugaleer · 11/07/2022 06:25

Made about 10k steps yesterday but rubbish food. Will do some aerobics before it gets too hot and a pump.

what to eat in this heat

Not2bObvious · 11/07/2022 08:39

Got out for a walk, good to be out but it's floored me. I got 7,000 done. Back lying down for a bit, hoping work will be quiet today. Scales is at 171.2 for 3 days now, might start to move down now I'm recovering a bit. Today was a start. Been eating a bit too high calories with no activity and it wasn't necessary, just a bit too much comfort. Could have been worse.

OP posts:
lifelongfrugaleer · 11/07/2022 10:01

Woah not. Be kind to your self, get well then worry about weight loss.

pump and aerobics done

TheNewlmprovedMrsMadEvans · 11/07/2022 10:06

Not bless you sweetheart l know you are worried about the weight going on but honestly it will drop off you when you are. Better . Please don't feel badly 💐

TheNewlmprovedMrsMadEvans · 11/07/2022 10:07

Also realistically there is no way you would have put that much weight on in this out if time it's all water and bloat you will lose loads when you are better l hope you are feeling better very soon sweetheart l am sorry lovely💐

TheNewlmprovedMrsMadEvans · 11/07/2022 10:09

Morning everyone 🤗
Been ok so far , went shopping early to Aldis to get the basics before it gets too hot . Hope everyone is doing ok too. I know it's hard keeping going but there is no other answer to it . We have to keep fighting or else .
Take care everyone 💐

I’m a dog owner and I hate barking dogs

Same here my previous dogs didn't bark and this one only barks when birds exit the nest above her kennel
