#and i just want to scream

[fayeandknight]

I hit my breaking point with my cousin and her dog and I just need to vent.

She stopped training with me a few months ago (as is her pattern) and then came to me today very upset about an incident. Apparently she was going down a hill and the ground was wet and she nearly lost control of the leash because her dog was aggressing at two other dogs. She starts blaming the other owner for having vicious dogs because they reacted back. Blah blah it's this other person's fault that as she struggling to regain control of her dog, he redirected to her and bit her. And that's when I lost my patience.

I told her her dog is the vicious one, that he's aggressive and out of control and until or unless she fixes things she needs to stop walking her dog around the neighborhood. Saying that felt like a failure for me as a dog trainer but I'm just at such a loss. Sooner or later she's going to lose control of the leash and her dog is going to seriously injure or kill another dog. It's not fair to put others at risk like that.

She started crying because that's his exercise and how she gets to chat with other people. I told her to utilize her yard, play in exchange for obedience. Practice walking on a leash calmly when dogs walk by the property. But that she has to get obedience and neutrality before she takes him off the property again.

I ended the conversation shortly thereafter because I knew that I was getting truly angry. But honestly it's so frustrating.

This is a dog who will 100% kill another dog if given the opportunity. This is a dog who redirects on the handler and goes for the face. It is pure luck that he hasn't landed a serious bite yet. It is only a matter of time before this ends in bloodshed or worse if she doesn't get very serious about it.

And the worst part is that no one in her family or mine is taking it seriously. I'm the bad guy for saying her dog is dangerous. I'm at fault for not fixing her dog. But how am I supposed to when there's no consistency or real buy in?

If she were just a client I would have walked away. But I can't because this is literally in my own backyard.

being middle eastern means it's controversial to be against the bombing of your home and the genocide of your people.

Listen YT you're going to get mad because I have an ad blocker, your little pop up is going to make me mad. you're going to give me a countdown until you shut off my ability to access your site. I'm going to get mad because I'm working and I'm checking stupid links for work so I have to use you and I'll just pop over to incognito mode, but know this, I will figure out a work around and I will just hate you all the more.

Why do all the best ideas for WIPs come at 2am and then never seem to return? I wrote them all down last night, even though I was on the verge of just completing collapsing, but now I cannot for the life of me get myself back in the right zone to pick those ideas back up again, and it is so frustrating. The ideas are there, but that ability to grab them and run with them isn't, so they're just kinda lingering in the back of my mind.

Another night spent laying in bed crying. Rip me.

When I read a fanfic I like, the author becomes a mini celebrity to me. So when an author with a work I like kudos’ or comments on my own fanfic I just-

[shay-creates]

Apparently, my decision to be silly and make fanart of someone's writing (because I genuinely enjoy the story the person is writing and I was struck with inspiration upon reading a particular scene) has benevolent and wildly unforeseen consequences.

I apparently gained a bit of control of the canon because said writer really loved the art and decided what I drew/draw is canon.

2. Writer put said artwork into the document of his story right below the scene, so now it's IN the story where people who read the story will see it (with a link to me)

3. He sent the artwork to all his friends and people he knows because he was so excited

Wholesome interaction and I watched him do all that in real time, good stuff. However...there are two more consequences I was notified of today...nearly a full week after I gave the artwork.

Seeing the artwork caused his friends to become interested in reading and hearing about his story, which means more people are reading what he's writing and giving him critique on the story (which he actively asks for).

Apparently, upon seeing the art, his writer friends got a sudden second wind to pick back up writing they'd abandoned for a few months. Because, I quote, "seeing that someone enjoyed {his} writing enough to take the time to make art of it gave them the motivation that maybe THEY can write something that will inspire someone to also create something." I have accidentally caused a writing frenzy among his writer friends and my silly idea to make art for someone has had a butterfly effect for people who I don't even know.

Uhh...I'm pretty sure there's a moral here but I am tired and have a great deal of emotions about this.
