Cut to her frantically searching for this mom group to ream us out.
I wouldn't blame her. I'm sorry ma'am! It's all my dog's fault.

I tried so hard to make a “lovey” work for my kid. I sewed a cute bunny thing and made it smell like me and did he give a shit and sleep? Nope. He had a bunch others that he kept in his crib for a while but he was never attached to any of them. But I guess it was probably a blessing in disguise. yup you dodged a bullet. lol I know I've confessed this on a friday probably years ago but I had a blanket since I was little that I slept with. I took it with me on a university skiing trip, got high and left it in my hotel room. They threw it out since it looked...rough. LOL. I was 20. The best part though is that my great-grandma had knit a back-up, which my mom sent when she heard. My grandma had passed away like 5 years earlier so I was like WHOA. That is mom level planning. Ahhh that’s amazing. I bet the new blanket felt extra special.

Are we considering a lovey just the most cherished thing? I guess that would be Silver from Sonic for DS. Out of his eleventy billion stuffed toys, he always has to know where that one is and takes him to his dad's. That is very awesome of you, lolacachia, and I'm glad you are getting a new Frank, STP !

What a wild ride. First, I braved the rouge bridge (if you know you know.) Then I got stuck in traffic in downtown Detroit and almost ran out of gas. Next I got lost leaving the gas station. The things we do for “internet friends!!” Tada!! The mobile is not far off from the original and could easily be used for parts or just a replacement even. If scout chews these Franks, I will drive to @scouts house for a stern talking to!!!

Yeah we have the girls here- so a monkey named Mille, a giraffe named Gracie and a cat name pilchard. They are all DS1’s and I have no idea what will happen when they fall apart.

We just had a long talk about Frank Boundaries. Also two new gates were delivered. The upstairs as a whole and DS’s room specifically are now barricaded. She is adjusting to it. In addition we gated off the TV room and the play loft (by extension DD’s room as her door is off it) last week. I’m hoping this will be enough. Keeping her on a leash all day is a lot but it’s the next step. She ate her crate. All three of them. I’m too worried she’d hurt herself if we tried again.

STP 💜 Is it steroid behavior still or “just” old age?

STP 💜 Is it steroid behavior still or “just” old age? I think both. She’s having liver issues now, and severe arthritis. So she’s going through a lot. We keep reminding ourselves of that. It’s not her fault, really. She loves her kids, I think Frank smells like DS and she wants that.
