... "have to" get done might be a little strong a term, but I have been trying to teach myself Italian through sites like DuoLingo (& other ways), and I have a couple of web sites that I have some responsibility for.

Yes, training the puppies was an interesting experience and although we tried hiring a trainer to help, we're not sure it really worked as well as it could have. So we're chalking that up to the learning curve of not having had dogs in several years. We lost at least two chairs from the kitchen table when they were in their "nom everything!!!" phase, which we would have preferred not to be the case, but "puppy accidents" could have been so much worse!

Yes, I think it's important to be committed to your pets if you're going to have them - otherwise, what's the point? They are living, breathing, thinking, feeling beings and that needs to be acknowledged, IMO. That said, you don't need to be overindulgent or completely tethered to them -you can still travel a bit, etc.- but you should be there for them :3

So you haven't been working there for long?

Italian because I like languages and figured "why not"? Also because I learned French in high school but was getting really frustrated at myself when trying to brush up on it - too much "but I should KNOW that!" thing going on- so I thought I'd change to a completely different, but semi-related language.

LOL - yes, puppies tend to do that sometimes. Our girl sometimes still does that if we leave her with the sitter and then come back after going away (we don't do this very often).

tru tru :3
i might be overdoing it in my head too - like i know cats are relatively low maintenance! so sometimes i wonder if i'm just making excuses Lol
like plenty of ppl do have cats/dogs in the city and in apartments, tho at the end of the day it's whenever you're ready for it i guess :3

why not is a great mindset haha
i took french in hs , i can read a shampoo bottle lol but probably not hold a convo
spanish would have been a lot more useful though! they didn't give u a choice they just put u in one or the other haha

lolol puppy pee as their love language !

LOL! Yes, you might be overthinking the pet thing a little. I had a cat when I lived in the city and it was fine. They are definitely lower maintenance than dogs

Yes, exactly with the languages. I had a choice in high school, but there was no place to really practice speaking it, so I lost it. Spanish, I could probably use, except for the dialect differences maybe, but I have zero desire to learn it for some reason.

oh yeah true, wo practice it's hard to maintain in a real way
spanish would be super useful in the states, it's def a v popular language where i am and i hear it all the time in my neighborhood!

as is polish interestingly lol but i think that's v specific to my area and not as common in general

I really want a dog/puppy, but right now where I'm living we can't have one. It's fine though, because right now I also don't have the time for one. Hopefully when we get our own house, we'll have more time so we can finally get one.

For now I'll enjoy my two cats and hedgehog. <3

That was sweet of them to give that to you. I hear sunflowers are a symbol of friendship? I'm not great at remembering what flowers mean lol.
