It probably is stemming from some sort of insecurity. This is the first job I've had where I've been appreciated and faced promotions, so perhaps it's like a "this is too good to be true and something's going to screw it up" type of thing.
Ever feel guilty for doing the right thing? I normally let things go, let someone else handle a problem, but this one I couldn't. Just need to vent a little and seek some advice/encouragement.
I'm an honest employee. I work hard at my job. Never call off. I'm even facing another promotion :)...
I need some ideas on better hay storage in my piggies cage. I currently have two hay racks, but my boars make a huge mess, pulling the hay out, getting it all over their cage, being typical pigs, then of course laying in it. But it makes cleanup really difficult and it's getting all over my...
So I was waiting for that moment to "click" with Matisse. For something to just make me get all warm and fuzzy over him, the way I feel about Shelby. I was automatically stand-offish after adopting him as described earlier in this thread, than I began to get frustrated with all the vet visits...
Thanks guys. I don't think it's Matisse having a hard time anymore as much as it is me. He curls up in my lap now like a cat and looks at me with those "I have a home now" eyes. I think it's just me feeling like "I've missed out on one year of this guys life. What was he like when he was a baby...
I'm all for the anti-breeding, anti-pet store stuff. I completely agree with everyone here on that and I'm glad you guys let me share my horrible experience with pet store purchases as a lesson to new members without coming at me and being all "why did you do that in the first place?!" Maybe...
I think that's just it though, it may be common sense but new people join every day. Yes, while questions may be asked multiple times and it may be frustrating to members already here and educated, I think it needs to be understood that not everyone has the time to read through every forum. I do...
Don't feel bad @CrazyMom I'm starting to feel the same way too. I'm very new to owning GP's and... I just don't know. I don't want to say too much because I don't want to cause problems but some tact really would be nice around here.
Thanks =) I guess because it was so pathetically easy with Shelby, I sort of expected the same with Matisse. But I will say after posting this thread I went and got him and he curled up on my lap for a good 20 minutes all happy and content and chutting. I guess I was a little scared because...
I've had Matisse a couple of days now, and I have yet to feel that real connection and bond. Yes, I fell in love with him looking over the site for the last three weeks and Shelby is starting to love him as well (don't tell him that!). But I always hear people saying "Oh it's such an amazing...
