OH MY GOD OKAY, THE DOG THING, I AM CAPS RAGING BECAUSE IT IS SUCH A CAPSRAGE WORTHY SUBJECT IN MY HOUSE.
Boyfriend and roommate do this thing where they think the dog doesn't hear or understand them the first time they say "off", "go lie down", "stay", so they chant it at her like she's some kind of idiot goldfish with no memory or ability to recognize commands.
1.) They use the wrong words. If you say "down" when you mean "off", she's gonna lie down on your chair. If you keep saying "down", she's just gonna squirm around and try harder to show you that she's down. When you get exasperated and raise your voice and finally use a hand gesture like you should (pointing to the floor), she's going to listen. Because of the hand gesture, because she recognized that and finally understood you.
In the meantime, you've taught her that a command she knows is really kind of BS and she'll be ignored for doing it. GG, thanks for that.
Another separate vent, my pain has lessened substantially, as has the heavy bleeding, but maybe due to the hormones from the mirena, each time I wake up not in pain, I wake up from wild sex dreams and all I wanna do is boink. And it's all I think about for the first couple hours of being awake. I can't go back to sleep, and I can't stay in bed because I don't want to attack boyfriend. It's dumb.
