Saturday Chat!
Happy weekend everyone. I hope you've got some fun planned. I of course do not. I've got work, and sometime this weekend I'm going to take my mom out for dinner since we didn't go last weekend. Luke is out with my friend and going to a demo this afternoon, and I'm thinking I should...

Poop bag question (janobonano)
Short story: Is it ok to toss a filled biodegradable poop bag in the woods? Long story: I've been trying to get back into running since I slacked off a bit in the winter. There's a 5k in June that I ran last year that I'd like to do again. Most of the time I run on a treadmill at the Y because...

It's Friday (just barely)
It's just after midnight here. I'm not normally up this late on a "school night," but I've got today (Friday) off. This may be the only time I ever start chat, since I'm always 3 hours behind most of you! I just finished watching the final episode of "The Office."...

Waiting for her boy
Sadie doesn't usually bark at people walking by when she's at the door, but today she barked at this kid coming off the bus for the 2nd time. Both days my son wasn't on the bus because he had track. So today, after seeing the bus come and barking at the boy, she ran up to the hall of my sons'...

harness for biking?
Murphy and I love to bike. We can bike for hours each day, and we do so whenever the weather permits. Currently he is only attached to the bike by his leash and collar. I don't like putting so much pressure around his neck, and he is a very hard, aggressive runner so trying to keep him next to...

Thursday thots
I'm not seeing ANYTHING started ... now granted I'm not usually at work at 8:00 a.m. If I begin this usually it's in the wee hours of the morning. I think this is an absolute first unless I'm doing it the same time someone else is. Good morning! and a really *good* day to everyone!

Thank Heavens it's Wednesday/Hump Day
It's midnight so not much sense in posting to Tuesday. I've been so out of the loop it looks like a straight line! Made it thru a whole day of work and an evening vet appt -- but I still can't walk worth beans (creates mega muscle spasms in my leg). I over-did today -- I hope I don't...

Mindless Tuesday
Cathy, I just saw the photos of your new house and wow!!! It's amazing! I love everything about it! Congratulations!!! Looks like I have an emergency trip to the UP coming either Wed or Thurs. I'm going to be up there a lot this year which wouldn't be bad except for the 10 hr drive each way...

'Natural' flea control for my collie?
At the moment I use Advocate (I believe it is called Advantage Multi elsewhere?) for flea/worm control plus Drontal every few months for the worms Advocate doesn't target. I have never had a problem with Advocate - and she remains flea free - but I've always had concerns about using a systemic...

rawhide?
What's the feeling on rawhide here? I always use to give it to my basset, but I know some feel it's unhealthy. My mother-in-law bought some for Sadie. I'm not sure if I should give it to her or not.

Been keeping this quiet
Most of you know, I graduated on March 21 from Uni. Well the past couple months have been hard in the job department.. Lots of interviews but no hire. Well this past week I got HIRED! I wanted to wait until I finished training to say something, just incase things didn't work out. The job is a wee...

Swimming
This question probably sounds dumb, but does anyone ever worry that their dog won't be able to swim as well as he thinks he does? Zeke used to never swim. Never. But on his gotcha day last Wed, at the dog park, he swam for the first time, to get a really good toy that was just out of his reach in...

Happy Monday chat
My gosh, the weekend just FLEW by. Doesn't seem fair somehow. Today *might* make it to the 50's so brrrrrrrr! Too wet Saturday to work outside although I did manage some time in the herb bed between storms. Yesterday it was COLD and wet, so next to nothing that I wanted to do outside got done...

My Mother's Day Gift
I never know what to get my mom if you ask her what she wants she'll say nothing. Well I kept getting emails from Edible Arrangements and I looked at the prices and thought are they CRAZY. So I went to the dollar store last week and when I walked in these vases caught my eye and I thought to myself...
