WHAT YA GOT SWAP Chat Thread

Hi Anna!

I have to tell you-I made the Artichoke Dip the other night for supper, and I did the directions for baking it. I added a jar of MARINATED artichokes chopped up, and the swiss cheese and that was the best Artichoke Dip I have ever eaten! I had to get more Marinated Artichokes to make the second pack soon!

Now I need to get Artichokes to plant in the garden this summer and can my own marinated chokes!

If I planted artichokes, they'd never make it to marinade! We'd be staring at the plant waiting to steam them!

Sorry, but I need to vent.

I gave our Shitzhu/Laso mix away the other night. She is not good with chicks, and ripped through a brooder box to lick them. She also chases my geese and ducks. Anyway.... I list on Craigslist...

I get a response from a woman/ girl, who wanted her really badly. She wanted her so badly she begged me to meet her way down on the other side of town at night. So here DH and I go, 45 minute trip to town.
She tells me that they only have one cat, and it is a kitten. There is another cat, but it is not theirs and does not come in the house. She also stated it was just her and her Boyfriend living there. The dog would have a good home inside.
Now let me say. This dog is older, 13 yrs old in fact. Good with cats, dogs, and other animals. Just not good with birds and fowl. She is kind, does not bite, and unless she is outside, she just lays around and watches tv just like the DH.
The next morning I get an email. "YOU HAVE TO TAKE THE DOG BACK".... My cats are attacking her.
After many emails back and forth. I find out that she has two cats living in the house, and she claims they are hissing and swatting at Prissy. (Prissy is not scared of anything) I also find out, it is her mothers house.
Now, we move to today.
As of right now....
The dog is biting everyone. The dog has made the cats spray everything in the house from scaring them so badly. This girls is under 18. Her mother says either I come and get the dog or it goes to the pound tomorrow morning. (NOT my fault the girl told me she was over 21 and it was her house). Oh and the dog spent the night outside in the rain with no dog house tied to a pole.
I am mad as a wet hen. I am picking her up at 6pm.

Ugh... Everyone of my dogs will kill my birds. I just keep them separate.

Now it's my turn-I am sorry you have to deal with this!

This is the dog we got from the "rescue" that had been kept in a crated since being picked up from the pound. He owner had passed away and his family did not want her, so they took her to be put down. I thought I was doing her a favor finding her a better home then with us, where she gets yelled at for licking the birds too much. I am a total douche bag. She will just be here with us for the rest of her life. I have never in all my life dealt with people so CRAPPY.
I can only imagine what she has been through, all my fault. I am not a bad person, but this has told me that I need to rethink how I think/feel about things. My pets will be better off here with me then anywhere else. I feed them too much, I snuggle them all too much, I hurt when they hurt, I yell at them when they poop on my floor or my head (pinky the duck), all that, but I have NEVER put a dog out in the cold rain tied to a pole. Nor would I take one to the pound. Our Pound is a death trap. Nasty discusting place.
It is going to take all I have not to yell at this person after I get my dog back. You should see the emails she has sent. And DH wonders why I am a hermit.......

Quote: I'm with Beth -- That is a ridiculous! You are right, she will be much better off with you even if she gets yelled at for licking chickens; better than taking a taste

There are all kinds of nuts out there and apparently you are dealing with the rotten, stale ones.
