He's SO awesome, so good and polite, walks well, listens really well, I'm actually quite impressed with him. I'm not sure if he's just adjusting to the new house/us...or the new food (they fed him ONLY their food, cooked and all!)....And tomorrow I have to go clean my moms house for her, and am wary of bringing him the first time, as my mom is really sick.
I would say new home, new diet, etc is gonna take just a little while longer. Just like you have to get up to take the puppy out, you may have to get up periodically in the first week or two to take him out side.
Sounds really really sweet.. I think we need a pic.2 -

I added one above for you..he is reallllllly sweet, almost breaks my heart when I look at his sad eyes. We had a boxer named Sadie, she lived to be 16 years old, passed away a couple of years ago, it's so great to have a little love in the house again

It's the second time since Friday, and I have been walking him 4-5 times EVERY day!!! Tricks, tips anyone can share? Cleaning poop at 5 am, after getting one toe in it, SUCKS!
Let him out/walk later at night. He left it at the door which means he knows he needed out, that's good. My rescue dog has to be outside around 10 every night, literally. If she doesn't, there will be a gift for me at the door in the morning lol.
I'm going to try this tonite! It was about 9 when I went to bed, 5 when I got up....might have to keep my eyes open a couple of hours longer!0 -

Looks like the perfect snuggle buddy. Those eyes are definitely a heart breaker! I had a dog pass too about 3 years ago I about killed me... 
Just a little patience and know after a week or two he will get comfortable with you, his surroundings, the new diet and before you know it he will be waiting at the door to go outside!!!1 -

He's 72 and in poor health. I know time is not on my side and I don't want to lose him and still be holding on to anger. But he verbally attacked me and my children in my own kitchen. Then packed his bags and left when I stood up for myself. Threw a tantrum that rivals any 5 year old. The things he said, I can never unhear and knowing that's how he feels about us has been so traumatic that a week later, I still am in disbelief

sounds just like my scenario.. I threw in the towel 30 years ago.. could not and cannot win by standing up for myself.. its always back to me that I have the real problem..
trust me, give in and forgive (don't forget), but better to amend this as best you can and deal with your own personal feelings secretly and not in the open. Parents are too old, you can only change yourself.
this probably helps in no way!0 -
I thought it was Tuesday today. So I either gained or lost a day, and this perplexes me.0

Mine was 75 when he passed a couple of years ago, and he was 73 when I forgave him. It was hard to do that, but, and this is selfish, forgiving him let me off the hook, took away my burden. That said though, even now I could still get angry if I let myself. The things he did to my mom, my brothers and I before I was old enough to defend us were, I thought, unforgivable.
I feel ya, I really do. You'll make the right call for you and your family. You will.0 -

Wow
I am too damn old to keep toxic people in my life. I have been chewed up and spit out enough. But what do you do when it's your family doing the chewing?
I guess it depends on how you regard your father. My family are basically on non speaking terms with one another. I just invite my mom for holidays because she raised me0 -

Thank you grey! I know you are right. Just having trouble swallowing this lump in my throat.
It's not easy, I won't blow smoke at you and lie. There's still bitterness, but I choke it down for the remaining family, my mom. "They" tell me it's the right thing to do lol. So far, to be honest, it has been. Step back, breath, pray if you do, and you'll do the right thing for yourself. *non-awkward side hug*
PS - if you want to chat privately, I'm a good listener, and I know that hurt intimately. Peace to you littlemissbgiff 0
