so ..

Ohh sorry I am late for the invite :(

Ok first of all I want to dispel the 'alpha dog' myth. It is simply not true, dogs do not dominate or compete for position.

The dog is peeing/pooing in the house because this is a new environment for it, it is likely stressed/nervous/anxious about a completely new person in a completely new house.

Along with the destructive chewing I would say it is definitely separation distress.

It could settle in a few days, or it might be a while. How long do you have the dog for? If you have any questions I would be happy to answer them.

Nasty grandmother.

My dogs tail is docked because he is a working spaniel, his tail wags so manically that it hits everything and would be liable to split and cause a lot of damage and pain to him.

It’s docked at 3 days old before nerves begin to grow and saves an expensive operation later in life. The criteria for docking in uk is extremely tight and only working dogs are permitted to be docked and this requires proof that the dog will be working.

I’ve explained it to her before but nope I’m still cruel.

And to top it off my uncles partner is all judges because I got a puppy from a breeder. She’s the whole ‘adopt don’t shop’ bs. People’s ignorance and judgementalness is frustrating and annoying.

But my uncles dog trainer jabbed their dog in the side for misbehaving and now the trainer is a damn Saint and not cruel at all. Ffs.

By the time I was 6 or 7, I had always wanted to fly.

My dad did something similar for me. When o was 3, i was running down a path. I tripped, but miraculously before my face hit the ground, my dad managed to put his hand over my face and save me from some horrible cuts and bruises. Dads are the best.

None of my family are drinking at Christmas.

You could try starting a discussion of politics - that might result in some drinking. Or fights. Or both.

Oh god no. No one agrees on politics especially with brexit. Plus my brother is coming and he’s a righteous no it all pain in the arse. Not fun.

None of my family are drinking at Christmas, except me. I bought all the presents, I can damn sure drink even if I have to drink alone. You know if you had given me more of a heads up I would have sent you some of that sippin' whiskey they make 88 miles from here. I think it's called Jack Daniels. Can't you buy your own?

My dad has bought tons of jack this past month, it’s super cheap this time of year. I’m a rekordelig drinker myself. I have loads of it I just feel a bit weird being the only one drinking.

We used to have amazing Xmas’ drinking on Xmas eve, playing games and waking up late Xmas day. But now everyone is just depressed. But not drinking. And Xmas day will be ****shit and boring

Tis the Season for a Crisis.

I think it’s ridiculous that your family have done this to you knowing how it makes you feel. I’m sorry I don’t have any advice, only after they are gone, talk to your family about how others staying makes you feel. This can’t go on
