Rule of 3: 3 days for dog to decompress, 3 weeks for dog to learn your routine, 3 months for dog to feel at home and comfortable.

Martingale collars are excellent, especially if the dog is prone to wiggling out of a harness.

Give your dog a space (ie: crate/pen, etc) of its own where it can retreat and feel safe.

Consistency goes a long way. Good luck and give your doggo lots kisses and pets

In this case, it probably was skunk. But an anecdote for you: I lived in SF, waiting for the bus. It’s at the light, about to turn left and then pick us up at the corner. As it’s idling, I smell weed. Ok, not too weird, it’s SF. Light turns, bus starts to accelerate through the turn and holy Christ, the weed smell is stronger! Then the doors open and the entire bus smelled like that stinky green bud. Amazing. I’m still convinced that I pretty much always had a partial contact high while living there

Yeah….he broke up with you. He may have walked it back to make you feel a little better but he’s done. YOU may feel like you’ve both got love for each other but he has made it clear it’s not happening for him. I’ve been on both sides of this situation and it’s incredibly painful. I am sorry. And the sooner you recognize it’s over, the faster you will be able to heal and move on to someone who appreciates you for you
