A coffee can full of nuts and bolts and noisy things with the lid taped on

My friend gave me this and told me to use it on my very disobedient and naughty dogs. I am not longer gang jumped at the front door and neither are my guests. Dog arguments end as soon as started. All pay attention now and walk away as soon as I pick up the can. Haven't had to shake it in two days... Sign in to see full entry.

The dogs have had quite an exciting evening.

I was napping and they were outside. I heard a storm approaching and heard the doggie door go whap whap whap three times for three dogs as lightning hit fairly close by. I got up and they were circling me and alternately hiding under furniture. As I stood in the front picture window watching the... Sign in to see full entry.

Needy, needy doggies who don't believe that I'm staying home now.

They walk under my legs, in front of me so that I can't move forward, trail me and step on my heels and are on my chairs and under them so that I cannot move them forward or backward when working, sigh. I play soccer and fill pools and pet them and chew on their ears and wash their faces, but still,... Sign in to see full entry.

My neighbor said that the dogs were depressed in my absence.

Baby slept under my work table and Mosinha and Autumn slept face to face and paws overlapped on the dog futon. I didn't know that they liked each other like that. I found a beaded necklace at the trade show with the name Autumn on it, but as Mosinha and Baby weren't named, I thought that they might... Sign in to see full entry.

My quiet and accepting and patient girl Autumn broke and howled good-bye.

Then my sister visited from Mexico and her daughter from California and my brother fom Phoenix, etc. and I was gone visiting and... Sign in to see full entry.

Why do dogs have to pee on newly growing grasslings????

There is a enormous yard for them to pee in. They have peed all over it, everywhere for years and the grass is new this year. Why oh why must they try to kill it? Is it more fun or luxurious to pee on grass? Now, I have to water right after they pee to dilute it, trying to keep it from turning the... Sign in to see full entry.

I have discovered my back yard swing and dog television.

When I tire of work, I now go sit outside in the back garden and swing back and forth, eating sunflower seeds. The swing has been here for over a year and I have rarely used it. My daughter gave it to me. It is about the size of a large sofa, holding three plus adults. The dogs jump up and join me... Sign in to see full entry.

BEEEEEE gone...fer sure, fer sure. NOT.

He came this a.m. at about 6:30 and said, at about 9 a.m. that he carted away a three hundred pound honey comb and I photo'd it until one last bee came dive bombing at my head over and over while I swatted at it, kamikazee and loaded for bear. Later I tiptoed into the back garden and saw nothing... Sign in to see full entry.

Baby is allergic to bees stings. She gets a baby hippo face fast.

I have liquid Benadryl here for saving her, my idiot daughter dog, but her previous encounters have been just one bee biting her mouth when she tries to eat him. She still chases bees today. We have a hive in the back storage shed. The bee man said that there is about a one hundred to two hundred... Sign in to see full entry.

About this Blog

Let us grow old together and forgive us our trespasses as we age and mellow and kindness alone remains. My old Dobie/Rottweiller and I have finally gotten over ourselves. The other pets are still full of themselves.
