    Help!!! My dog

    Not sure if you know a lot about dogs or if this was just a thought - but it is pretty good advice. Many bad habits are just due to the dog's other needs not being met. Walking and exercise - very important!! Consistency in training is important too. It may take a while, but you have to...

    Finlay's photo!

    I have heard that poodles are very smart and very loving. My friend from school has two of them, both black like Finlay, and she has told me that they are susceptible to cancer and other health issues. Thanks for posting the picture, he is very pretty!

    Defunct dishwasher!

    Must be an epidemic. My dishwasher, only a year old, has had so many issues I tried to invoke the lemon law for household appliances. There isn't one, sadly. But, thank God, I have the PSE&G appliance protection warranty, about $400 a year covers all the major stuff that is not still under...

    Finlay's tumor is CANCER!!

    Personally, I feel being with them to the end is part of the commitment we make to our animals when we first decide to bring them into our lives. Yes, it is sad, but we do it for them, so that they will have the comfort of our presence and not be with strangers at the end. Not being there is...

    Child leashes

    Since I have never asked anyone using one, I am not sure what their reasons were...but I would assume that it is more out of fear that the kid will wander off, or will be snatched by someone. And to me, that is a valid fear in crowded public places. As for teaching kids to stay with you, and...

    What did you do today?

    I had a cat who did the same thing to my boxspring...and she was declawed, used her back paw claws only. Anyway, seems they are just freaked out from too many changes in their lives. They just need some time, as everyone is saying...plus lots of love and affection. They are both so...

    Dog waits at grave

    In the US, she would have people lined up to adopt her. In south america, maybe not. Depends on where and the local people. They may have other things more important right now to worry about, such as their destroyed homes, relatives that were killed etc.

    Thank God for President Obama.

    Every now and then we need someone like osama in charge to knock some sense into people. Lets just hope the mess he is making won't be too hard to fix. ps - no vote in 2010 was a vote for obama.

    Post your gas prices Part II

    anywhere betw 2.99 and 3.49 here at the last few stations I checked. One of my neighbors, real political type, thinks he knows everything that is going on in the world, says it will be over $4 by the end of this year.

    Cat ordered to court for jury duty

    Just for fun, if he was my kitty, I'd take him down to the courthouse on the appointed day and let them talk to him. May need an interpreter, though...

    Dog waits at grave

    we think alike, at least when it comes to animals. That was the first thing that crossed my mind.

    Dog waits at grave

    I think the story of Hachi took place in Japan. There was another dog in Scotland who did the same thing, that is probably what the one Miss Delectable is referring to. Here is one of my favorite dog paintings...I think it's called the "The Chief Mourner"

    argument with my ignorant nursing instructor!

    Not sure where you are in Pennsylvania, but just across the border in Delaware is that Alfred Dupont Hospital in Wilmington. Not positive, but I believe they have services for deaf children. I need to look into these sorts of places myself, as the last thing I want to do is work like a dog on...

    argument with my ignorant nursing instructor!

    You know, I thought I sent my response to you as a private message....my computer skills are definitely lacking!! Anyway, glad you know what I mean. I have also seen a lot of students get slammed by egotistical instructors. They do NOT like to be put on the spot or told they are wrong by...

    argument with my ignorant nursing instructor!

    2 things - 1.) yes, it is pretty bad that someone in her position still thinks this way, mostly out of ignorance. Hopefully she will look it up and educate herself. Might not be much help, though, because if deafness is listed officially as a disability, that is what she is going to call it...

    The Faithless Insomniac Thread

    naturally or chemically? (haha) I am a part-time insomniac. I have gone thru periods in my life where I could not sleep. Happily, I am not in one of them right now. There is nothing worse than not being able to sleep. But then - is it possible that some that think they are insomniacs are...

    Students Looking for ASL buddies

    You are very welcome. I use Lifeprint too. Still, I need to find real live signers out there. It is really the most logical next step for me.

    Last Movie You Watched?

    Last night I saw "Hachi-a Dog's Tale" Supposedly based on a true story about a man and his devoted Akita, who he found as a stray pup. Richard Gere starred...(always a plus:naughty:) and it was a good story, a little sad though. Sort of a given with dog stories.
