It can also be nice to ask “what have you already thought of” once you reach the solutions stage. Offers another chance for connection and making them feel like you are not assuming they haven’t thought of anything yet.
Like the boyfriend or like the shawarma that fell apart? Cause I’m more like the latter.
Sure is.
You are a good owner. And she was a good girl.
This is so true. My husband and I adopted 3 seniors dogs a few years ago because they don’t get adopted often, and we wanted to make their last few years good. One was abandoned by her owners at 11 years old because she was “too old.”
You should have seen her shaking like a leaf in the shelter cage. She HATED it there. As soon as we took her home, she transformed. One of the most loving dogs I’ve ever owned.
Anyway, my point is, those grey muzzles were only with us for a few years, but I wouldn’t exchange that experience for anything else. Totally worth the heartbreak.
I would second this. I heard many stories from clients where I couldn’t relate personally, but the whole point of empathy is to put yourself in that person’s shoes and say “Ok, if I were you in this situation, I’d feel the same way you do.”
I think you are reading way too much into it. A person in a shark costume is not the same as being in the water with actual sharks.
I also want to highlight that this professor wouldn’t post pictures of this stunt with himself smiling if it was an issue for him.
We used Cuddle Clones! It was about $300. Here is a pic:
We did the customized stuffed animal for one of our late dogs (only one of them because she was my husband’s first. They are not cheap). It looks awesome and is a great memento.
I’m a therapist, and one of my clients is putting her dog to sleep this week. Her first time. She cried through the whole session. And this was the first time I ever cried in session myself in 5 years. And I’ve heard some shit… but this got to me.

I had the same thought, hope she doesn’t get in trouble. Seems like she created a loyal customer for a low cost.
