I forgot to install Tumblr on my new phone and so it slipped my mind to announce.

Again ... LOOK OUT FOR THE DRAGON FLYING TO EUROPE FOR OCTOBER

This is all possible thanks to the amazing @copgirl1964 and @egmon73

I went in after it and managed to find it. Despite some screen damage, it's working still!

But it does mean I will have to buy a new phone soon. There are so many options 😖 I want one with a good camera. I take a lot of photos!

So... I'd love suggestions. I'm after a mid range price. These ones I'm considering, so if you have -

Google Pixel 4a 5g

Samsung Galaxy S20 +

Samsung Galaxy S20 FE

Similar price range phone

Please let me know how you find it!

I spoke to my friend with whom I've had a lot of issues. I was shaking a lot but I did it.

We talked about the things the other was doing that was upsetting, and each acknowledged the things we were doing wrong.

It was very stressful for me but we have a resolution and can move forward putting the past behind us.

REMOVING A STRESSOR FROM A DOG BEFORE BREACHING THE COPING THRESHOLD IS CORRECT HANDLING.

Letting a stressor affect your dog until breaking point encourages reactivity.

It is unfair to expect a dog to endlessly tolerate something bothering them.

It is wrong to punish a dog's reaction if you haven't tried to prevent it (given the reaction was appropriate).

Stopping other dogs from getting in your dog's face / annoying them before they react (growl, snap, etc) is appropriate.

Anyone saying "it's fine, she'll tell him off if she doesn't like it" is allowing bad behaviour from their dogs.

In short:

You cannot yell at someone for stopping your dog's irritating behaviour towards their dog. YOU ARE IN THE WRONG.

Instead of getting shitty at the correct-acting owner, learn what appropriate dog behaviour is and stop your dog before they have to.
