No, I don't think that you're picky at all. My girls have laptops and I agree with you on the keyboard. I don't like typing or getting around on a laptop. I really hope that my husband goes ahead and gets it. Sometimes he says things but doesn't follow through with them.

Tink, I hope that you're staying all nice and warm! That's pretty cold especially with the wind blowing!!!!!

I am just amazed... have to brag on her a bit. So please bear with me. LOL

Canada let us sleep until 5:30 this morning undisturbed. Then she woke us crying and a bit frantic so we took the dogs outside. She hadn't relieved herself in the house at all and went as soon as she got outside. For a 5 yr old "outside" dog I thought this was pretty fantastic. She obviously appreciates being inside and is trying very hard to not give us any reason to rush to put her back out. LOL

I'm seriously thinking if she continues like this she will have earned her place as a "house dog". I'd love to have her inside other than when she has puppies to care for. I hate the idea of her being lonely outside when all she really wants is to be loved and doted on.

That is the way a couple of our labs were. They were outside dogs, but when it was really cold we'd bring them in and they never 'went' in the house. That's when we decided to not have any more outside dogs. They all want as much attention as possible and I just can't imagine being so lonely every evening and all night long. So I have four Yorkies and a 93 lb Golden Retriever all in the house...LOL

I was supposed to have sold my final pup this morning, to a couple in the upper peninsula of Michigan. They had gotten on the road, got nearly half way here and the heater went out in their vehicle so they had to turn back. It's -22 wind chill here right now, so I can't say I blame them for not wanting to tough out another 6 hrs on the road with 2 small children.

Thank God the pup is safe here with me, they're safe at home and we will hopefully be able to reconnect another day.

Greg's left again for the week, but Joel and Shannon are here, and Katie and Josh called to ask if they could come watch the big playoff game here today. So it looks like I will have plenty of company to help occupy the dogs. lol

How was the weekend with all that company? It sounds like fun.

I'm glad your little guy is safely home and warm!

Gracie Leigh is fretting!

My positive is that I've decided I've had enough of her not being trained. She's now leashed to a chair next to me - actually, she's sleeping on her pee pad.

Her training went astray. I think it was all the visits to my daughter. She has 4 dogs, 2 not trained yet, mine were confined becaquse4 the pups are large and might have hurt mine and so on.

She should be trained in a couple of weeks. She knows where to go, and she's very bright. She learned "sit" in 2 days. Max is quite territorial about the pee pads, so the Big Boss is taking over! I don't remember him taking out his charge card to pay for those pads!

Well I got GREAT news today so HAVE to share!

I went for my recheck today and my Dr was so happy with my blood pressure etc that she gave me a literal thumbs up and said I won't need to start the zombie med after all. She was vry glad to hear I'd taken action and dh stood beside me. She said I looked greatly improved today and should just keep doing what I've been doing because it obviously agrees with me

Tink · 01-21-2008, 05:20 PM

Good luck with the training Judy.
I think it's almost easier to train them when they are a bit older... I can't believe how well Canada has done... and she's 5!

Tink, I'm so glad that your health has improved! After all the stress you've been under you deserve to have some good news about your health. Just keep it up!!!
