Thanks Stacy. Don’t forget to change out of that nightgown before you leave the house!!!

Our lab has been barreling over the 2 small dogs like they don’t exist. Yesterday, she ran over (again) the old dog I took in. I thought the old dog’s leg was broken. She is putting some pressure on it and still jumping off and on the couch, but still holds it up a lot. The lab is making me so irritated by running over the littles!

I was wondering how the old dog was doing. :hugs
Is the lab just to bouncy for the older dogs?


My new doggie is quite a piddle pot. Good thing there is no carpet here. The mop will be quite busy during this training time.
At least she is following my big guys all the way out into the kennel now. Just need to get her to give the hey I gotta go indicators.

My Shepherd runs over the Papillon a lot. He is learning to avoid her. She loves to smell everything, including the cats. They are not impressed.

I usually put them on a schedule and take them out. Try putting bells on the door, ring them before taking the pup out. When you take her out put her on a leash. Command, "Go pee" no playing or interaction unless she goes. Then praise and play a bit. The dog will learn to go to the door and may ring the bell to alert you. She will learn to take care of business quickly.
That is my method and i am sticking to it.
 
Already doing it Cap. Just working on being patient while she learns the ropes. ;)

Having my boys does help. She went out with them about 15 minutes ago and did her business. Of course that was followed by 10 minutes of crazy bouncy puppy in the snow.
:gig

Good morning friends!
HAPPY WINTER SOLSTICE!
May we all be buried in eggs very soon.

Today's the day to pull myself together. But first...
I'm gonna step up here on my little box in my nightgown and my crying sweater and be like the teacher at Sunday school, then, I am going to limit my participation today (if I can), in an attempt to pull myself up by the bootstraps to avoid hating myself later for stepping in the quicksand of holiday depression. One never knows if it's a half inch puddle or a raging river.

Please remember to be gentle to those you know and those you don't. I don't really have to tell any of the OSW's that, I know, because being nice is one of our common characteristics but nonetheless I'm throwing out a review.

The holidays, while meant to be all COMFORT AND JOY,
do not affect everyone in that way.

On the road? STAY CALM.
Be prepared to wait. PEE FIRST, but bring a drink, an emergency snack, some Tylenol and your phone charger. Wear layers.
Comfortable shoes.
Underpants that don't give you a wedgie!
Your going to be waiting in traffic. Waiting for a parking spot. Waiting in line...
This is an exercise in patience. Take the time to think good thoughts about people and rack up some karma points.

People don't need to be hated on or cussed at 4way stops (some never grasp the rules on this) or
in parking lots either.

Never shout, "OMG *******what is WRONG with you?!?"

Because Lordy, if you did that to me right now, you better pray to the DEPENDS GOD to be wearing one of their extra absorbent diapers because I'm gonna LEAP,
as in "LORDS A LEAPING" leap, in front of your vehicle with my knees within millimeters of your front bumper and I'm going to enlighten you.

I'll stand there like a crazy person and go down my list- which is long -until you either run out of gas or call the cops on me.

You are NEVER gonna get to Home Goods or Dicks or wherever because if you tip me over that edge, YOU WILL NOT, make it to your nail appointment, or be picking up your HEAVENLY HAM before they close because I will still be standing there.

Worry weighs a ton I can personally tell you.

So does loss, which is an invisible wound, and it's heavy as hell. There's all kinds of loss people may be carrying around right now. Job, house, insurance, friendship,pregnancy, marriage, partner, child....

*If you need help or know someone who does,
please call 1-800-273-8255

This is the National Suicide Prevention Hotline.

They are open 24/7/365

They also have online chat for those who are more comfortable communicating that way.

Pass it on. Save a life.

Did y'all chickens stop laying really?
Mine slowed down a bit but all of them are still laying except the leghorn and GLW maybe it's a Texas thing.

the cat runs when she hears the toilet flushing so she can get a drink. :gig my dog broke the lid by flipping it up when I had a weight on it to prevent him from opening it :he

Oh don't even get me started! I have 9 chickens and the only one laying right now is my OE. My Orpington was laying up until about 3 days ago. She laid almost 1 per day but now nothing! :barnie
