Thanks for the information @shanaber and @RunsOnEspresso. I saw the AKC reported that as much as 34% of dogs are intolerant of chicken. Dh and I ran out and got her the purina pro sensitive skin and stomach salmon. @avidkeo The girls have gotten so big! Love the photos, wow beautiful place!

Hey I have a doggie question. Sandy has red areas where skin touches skin, arm pits, leg pits, and the inside of her ears are gently dotted and red. She's has it for a bit and I dismissed it as chafing. But I noticed a bit more dander on her and realised that a food intolerance may be the issue. She always smells a bit…

@rheddmobile Despite the old lady being mean, it is nice that the family still comes together. Sounds like she loved who she is. Dh told me one of his mason buddy shot a "giant pig 4 times" and a 25 pound raccoon. It really bothered me about the raccoon. DH said the guy took him out to to see it and it was about 5 pounds.…

Sometimes we just need time to sort. You'll have to give us an update on how you've been doing, when you have the time. You are like a sister to me, door is always open for you and you never need ask permission to hang, hide out, or raid the fridge. ☺️

You never left my heart.

@CMorning99 You still impress me with how busy you keep yourself. I've been up for 3 hours and am still not awake. I had to drop the old dog off to be groomed and just wandered around the store, half asleep, buying dog treats and toys. I managed by Starbucks for an Americano. I think I needed a "bucket" sized one. It has…

oh youre right. it was per gram. See how much I know. ☺️

I understand. The pups want out in the front yard to play, but now I am afraid to let them anywhere near the front beds.

Edibles here aren't that expensive. Pot is rather cheap, I think DD said it was 5-10$ an ounce up to 25$. Someone I talked to was of the opinion that the cheap stuff was outdoor grown, but dd said even the cheap stuff will put you on your butt. We thought Maggie (old dog) had glaucoma. She also has anxiety (but it is…

Yep. It is illegal here too.

@shanaber how’s Hobbes? I hope it was something benign and didn’t get worse.

@CMorning99 I'd get a lawyer to deal with the neighbour. Let the authorities deal with him. If he isn't happy where he lives, he can move. I don't think I'd get involved in gun play. A man who brandishes a weapon towards a woman will be dealt with more harshly than if you also participate. Guess you could make him some…

@shanaber You dippy dog Hobbes! I am glad he'll be alright. I guess now we know you got the good Scooby snacks, eh? haha! I hope you figure out where he was exposed.

I have pulled hemlock up and thought it was a carrot and even nibbled on it. For whatever reason I thought "that could be poisonous " and spat it out. It is in an area where I throw bird seed, hot radish seeds, let herbs grow, there is a potato plant, etc. It didn't taste bad. I really thought it was a wild carrot or an…

Dogs are fine. ER vet visit for nausea control and activated charcoal. By time we got there, they were both rambunctious to see other people. We didn't get home til 1 AM. Why are emergencies always late, holidays or weekends? Pet poison helpline was great to have. Not bad for $65 to know if your pet needs to be seen. They…

@shanaber Glad Hobbes didn't get sick. Kevin and Sandy were playing with a root today. I dismissed it as something benign. Turns out that it is likey poison hemlock. I spoke to pet poison helpline and had some botanist look at what's left of it. We are at supportive care. 😩 There's nothin to do I guess but wait it out.…

@shanaber I really liked the red carpet . Everything else is natural. This blue is so dark that I have a hard time seeing the cats on it as easily. I wonder what's up with Hobbes? Is he feeling okay? extra hungry? K&S are just starting to bark at the UPS/FedEx drivers. Maggie just barks at the walls, for real. She has…

There are usually toys and carrots on Kevin's table. He's in trouble currently. He go into the cornbread on the stove, thank goodness the top was cooled off, and he & Sandy chewed up a wooden spoon. So I put baby gates up to keep him out. But he redeemed himself a bit by actually using the potty bells. He's good to ask to…

@shanaber It is frustrating not understanding what is going on with your health. It does sound like doc the needed to send you to a specialist to better explore it. Dogs- That's interesting, using one word commands. It makes sense. DH'd cousin or Aunt (can't remember) was shocked that Kevin knows 2-4 word phrases and that…

Dog laps cuz it’s a bit chilly out

"friends"? oh DD's friends and family. I got an autism diagnosis. When I asked what specifically is the give away the reply was "well the fact that your friends are your cats and dogs..." LOL! Kevin is kinda hit and miss on the nosing, he does it maybe once in 3 days or might have a run of 3 times in 1 day. He seems to do…

Ok knowledgable dog owners. I need insight. Preface Kevin is going to be neutered within a month. He is crotch sniffing. I have been ignoring the behaviour, figure it's likely developmental and normal dog. But I understand that humans aren't usually keen on a dog in their crotch. Question Do I actively curtail it? or allow…

@rheddmobile Don't you love the patient portal? I've had similar experiences where I was told A was out when it was B and had to correct the nurse. Of course it can be just a miscommunication. But, I've also had an instance where the made me younger and crossed my chart with another, twice; different places. I'm not…

@shanaber I love the dining set. It reminds me of the tables growing up, ours is rectangle and rather cheaply made. Alex set a pen on it that leaked when he can home from boo camp. So its a keepsake now. I clip their nails when they are asleep mostly. Kev has let me do 2 nails while he licks me. That has been the extent of…

@quilteryoyo Glad you stayed warm. I like sleeping bags when its cold; turn off the heat and bundle up. But no one else likes sleeping that way. haha! electric blanket perhaps? @rheddmobile oh I love house wiring. Sounds likes someone just ran the two to the same breaker with no sense. You have any uh...? underwear? seems…

My heart goes out to all with the health issues. Seems none of us escape the wear of time with age. @shanaber when I was trying to figure out what was going on with my hip and several doctors and years went by; it was really frustrating. And few misdiagnoses didn’t help. Cry if you need to, vent if you need to. We’re here.…

@quilteryoyo Wasn't your compressor replaced last year on the heat pump? thank goodness for emergency heat! it a bit too cold to be without. I hope the kids are extra wonderful today!

Dang @shanaber where did your get feline herpes? been cattin' 'round? 😭 (Im being funny). Bear is still on a shrimp kick. He eats 6-10 a day and would eat double that if we let him. His coat is nice. So glad he is home after that scare. Kevin is in the mood to tear everything up.... grrr. He's good at "leave it". I dont…

@shanaber I’m concerned with the grow market being saturated. And Dh is a recovering addict; seems like a bad choice to me. He’s gonna do what he’s gonna do. I’m sure your weight could be attributed to the flair up. I’d think lupus or fibromyalgia, but that’s just a guess. Sound horrible. I hope you find answers and…

ohhh @cmorning99 Iv been eying the teslas. I am still loving my bmw but very impressed with the Audis. dh tried to bribe me with a new car if he could invest in a pot grow. ugh. how simple am I? DD has covid. She has no taste or smell, has been vaccinated. I get a pain in my head now and then and am unsure if its meds or a…
