I might be "special" then.

I do use the report button and usually don't hear back but the thread gets taken care of

Well, you're special today anyway!

Thanks you two!

I am going a bit bonkers here at work with printers failing and first of quarter weirdness at the University

Just keep telling yourself "I'm one year closer, one year closer, one year closer...

And you get cake tonight!

That is a perfect plan!

Sometimes we just have to look for the bright side

Remember Kdogg "pet sitting for strangers." You never know what kind of people they are. If any red flags pop up in your mind, back off.

That is very true!! And that does make me a little nervous!! But maybe since they are not there, it would be less creepy? But definitely need to stay aware. Or I may just join Wag and do dog walking for now, that way I’m not like staying in stranger’s houses. The world is definitely weird today.

On the PFM thread there was talk about changing that one. for some reason it is still there though. Of course they are talking about BYC addicts but the term has a negative connotation on it's own, especially when used as a single word.

Some modifier should be use or it kind of violates BYC rules

Maybe it could be changed to BYC Addict or something like that.

I doesn't bother me, I could change it if it did...I just thought it was kinda funny how it occurred. Maybe change it to 'chicken addict' or just plain 'bird addict'.
I really don't see why someone would be offended but nowadays, it seems to not take much to offend some peeps.
I'm not easily offended.

I like those suggestions.

Its his dog hes never complained even when I had to wake him up at times....

Shes a Swiss Mountain Dog cross. Very very sweet. He adopted her from the pound. She came with a Dossier of her medical history, an inch thick. Apparently she was attacked by a German Shepherd and ripped up Terribly. Helen Woodward took on her care they didn't expect her to live.

According to her history she was raised up around livestock Chickens Goats... etc. Then the terrible attack... After she healed up she was adopted by a family with a baby... Three months went by....The baby became a toddler and they turned her back in... I can only speculate what went on through all of this.

She was at the pound for another couple of months before my son found her. Brandy Was Whale eyed for a long time... Wouldn't go outside during the day... We had to encourage her to go out. I think she was waiting for the other shoe to drop...

I never yell or scold her... I dont praise for bad behavior.... but find ways to encourage good behavior... Doggie door worked famously even though we had to teach her how to use it... only took about three days ... a week with confidence.

OMG the poor thing glad she has a forever home with you now though.

Where do you find these threads....

X2 I always miss all the fun lol

Yes she has and she has found a home here for life... I hope to take her up to the house eventually... I need to coyote proof the yard first... but would love one day to see how she really is around chickens and goats.

deb

You have two houses?

Seriously ? I think it's like a magnet. They seem to attract me.

That thread yesterday was worse than the one a couple of weeks ago...I think the worse since I've been here or lurking here.

Wow that bad? Kind of wish I could have seen it but I probably would have just gotten really mad.

Or worse yet extend your hand for a handshake. Once while in Key West the Princess and I were walking down the street. A couple of BIG drunks approached, and one extended his hand. I accepted, and he clamped down. "Hey, man, we're out of money can you help us?" I rolled into him, broke the grip, and said. "Sorry man she didn't give my allowance this week." We hustled away and I was once again made aware of the existence of 'stranger danger'.

OMG!

Happy birthday Ron!!!! Since it’s your birthday, does this mean I can go buy a birthday cake and eat it from here?

sean, you and sour have to tell us when you run across the wacko's, so we can see too

Not an uncommon story down there. I saw a lot while living there. Maybe too much

i must lead a sheltered life, never saw anything like that down here, or for that matter anywhere but then i don't go out after dark anymore, just like when i was a small kid living with momma and daddy, had to be in the yard at dusk and in the house after dark, funny how things reverse
