Bailey and Friends

Very Itchy!!!!!:eek::eek:

I forgot to tell you I know exactly what punkin chunkin is--have watched it on TV--amazing what people will do to win this contest!!

Have a great time!!! Good luck with the auction too.:)

Auction was a bust (although I didn't plan to bid on anything). It seems I skipped over the part where it is for Rehoboth City.....we never found the preview. If we had, I could have gotten you a boardwalk bench, a parking meter, or a variety of other schtuff.:D

Mom???? Marie Irene????

I had a bad dream I was alone in the nonbasement in a hole with ants. Thank goodness I woke up but it seems I missed pumpkin chucking Halloween:confused::confused::confused: Dang, I had a really good costume too and I had been doing weight lifting to chuck that pumpkin clear into the ocean!!!!!!!


What the hey?????????

Now we have some kind of itch epidemic going on? Geez Louise, pass the GOLD BOND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

love ya,
addy

Oh Addy-:)
How wonderful to see you displaying such humor!!:D

Well-punkin' chunkin' was a bust for me.:( I changed my mind about going because you have to walk across fields to get to this event. Once the pins were taken out of my foot, I found a different kind of discomfort and I didn't want to risk the recovery. I do think I will take my car keys back on Wednesday!!

You made my day, Addy!:):cool:

End of seriousness.

Love,
Sus

I am so confused about the car keys....:confused:

Punkin chunkin will be on TV so you didn't miss it. The nice thing about the show is you get a little more insight to the participants. Of course there is still nothing like up close and personal with an event.

Have a good rest of the weekend. Pouring here now so not getting the outside projects done--darn.:D

Addy so you itch now from the ants????!!!!:p

Marie Irene-
Do you know where on tv you have seen it? I've never seen it on tv.

The car keys-I haven't driven since 10/4....day before surgery. I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANYMORE!!!

Hi Susan,

I read your posts today to Addy and Cindy about Bailey's eating and questions about pig ears, rawhides, etc.

I tend to agree with your vet about not feeding Bailey anything other than her meals, and those at a set time and place. As almost impossible as it is to do, giving treats, snacks of people food, etc. isn't a good idea for puppies. They are just so darn cute, tho! :D Puppies are learning everything - including how to eat. If they get treats and goodies other than their usual feed, they can become very finicky. They have learned from the treats, etc. that there are better things out there than what is in their bowl. ;) And they can and will hold out for those goodies...they know how darn cute they are! :rolleyes::p But that stuff in her bowl is balanced and geared to helping her grow and develop normally so that is what she needs to eat...and that alone. If you give treats for training, use pieces of her feed.

As for pig ears, rawhides and such, they bother me, especially with puppies. They can easily choke on the pieces that come off. This is purely personal preference understand, but Bully Sticks would be my choice if she needs something to chew on. They are very tough, last a long time, don't come apart in pieces as easily so risk of choking or blockage is reduced, and every dog I've given them to, loves them! Another extremely tough chew is deer antlers. You can usually find them in specialty pet food stores. The bully sticks and antler come in a variety of sizes. ;)

Just my 2 cents worth!

Hope you are feeling better and better!
Hugs,
Leslie

Susan - I saw your post about not sleeping - I am an official nite hawk!!!!! I am up till 2 am or later every nite - I wish I had a laptop so I could come on at that time but my computer in is the basement family room - ohhhhh I know what to ask for for Christmas!!!!:D A small lap top - an ipad - or a regular lap top mmmmmm have to look into that!!!! Then when I do fall asleep the queen wakes me up to go pee!!!!!! I need a good under eye concealer!!!!!!:D

Hi Leslie-
Thanks for the suggestion. Any suggestion for whose bully sticks or type of bully stick (I see free range there.)

We tried the antler ear. It holds no interest.

I appreciate your thoughts about snacks. She only gets little ones or so a day, but I get your point about holding out.


Thanks.:)

Susan

It's quarter to three, noone in the non basement, its just me

hanging out----with thirty-three ants on the wall
asked Marie Irene to join me , she said lol-----


Girl, I don't know what I'm doing!!!!!!!!!:D:D:D:D


Sleep deprived Addy

It was a dark and stormy night. The night watchman had called in sick and would not be there. That left anyone in the non basement to fend for themselves. Fend against sump pumps, ants, worms, moths (you have to have the light on, for gosh sakes!!!!
AND OH....BY THE WAY.....2 MICE, 1 POSSUM, A WILD CAT, 2 DEER AND A FOX HAVE ALL BEEN SIGHTED WITHIN THE LAST FEW DAYS.
If you get a chance, grab your red sweaters, your navy sweaters and run far, far away. I will bring the money and the clothes. And Bailey!!
Where ARE those keys??!!
Very itchy. very, very itchy.


Run Forest Run!!! Run!!! Run Addy RUN!!!! Marie Irene and
Mrs. Calabash, take the coffee
table that is in the shape of a shrimping boat and RUN!!!!-Towards the ASSAWOMAN canal and GET THE BOAT INTO THE WATER FAST!

We can all meet at the new Dunkin Donuts. (Any donut orders?)

do they have apple turnovers????????


even more tired addy

Does whom have apple turnovers????:confused::confused:

Didn't sleep again so more tired,:(
Sus

Ohhhhh...... I see now...............Dunkin Donuts. This is not a very good one so probably not, even though it's a new one.

Shrimp Boat? We're going fishing??? Using donuts for bait?


And who invited Mrs. Calabash? She yakes too much:rolleyes::rolleyes: But I guess she does make good coffee, as long as it is more cafe creme.


But really, did you make sure the hurricanes are to the west of us???

I'm still running and can't find the dang boat!!!!!!!!



MOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM, don't leave without me!!!!!!!!!

I could NEVER leave without YOU Addy~!!!!
The boat is in the living room.....being used as a coffee table (although I hardly ever have coffee) and ready for us when the water starts to rise. Maybe I'll post a picture of it. Of course, it has two oars. Who will row????
Marie Irene?
Addy/?
Bailey??

Goodnight Sus,

sleep tight:)

love,
addy

I think I missed out on the fun of the nonbasement scary stories--was I sleeping or just tuned out?????:eek:

We are going shrimping and running with Forest????? Mrs. Calabash is making the coffee and I am taking the coffee table....:eek: I don't mind rowing--good for the muscles and getting rid of the rolls around the arms--hehe!!!!:D

So it is Thursday almost Friday and for some it is Veteran's Day holiday tomorrow. Me I have to work--what is new.....

Susan I hope your foot is feeling oh so much better today. Did you get some more sleep????

How is Bailey doing? Ella only weighs 36 lbs; we thought she hit the 40 lb mark--I guess our scales are different than the vet's....:p

Here's to a HAPPY DAY!!!!

Well! There's Marie Irene!!! :D I guess you just tuned out. There was a certain vacuum that I felt.;)

Well, yes, I got more sleep. It would seem I also rolled out of bed, hit my noggin' on my nightstand and Bob was not there to help....he was among the missing. In a minute or so, I guess he heard my yelling for him....he showed up and wanted to know "How did you get there?!":confused::confused::mad:

There are two different types of personalities when it comes to reacting to situations. There is his type "How did you get there?"....and there is my type...."Who gives a #$%^, could you just please help me up and see if I'm bleeding anywhere?" His type-needs to know background. My type-wants to start with resolving the situation. I guess it's good if opposites attract!

Bailey goes to vet tomorrow AM, still basically not eating. It's going to kill us both if I have to stop with the lambs ears. She so likes to chew and, so far, has only chewed on "her" stuff.

[Whew! I thought I just lost all of this post....sometimes if you click on the "forward" button, you can find what mysteriously disappeared.]

It's dreary and rainy here. :( Y'all take care. I'm going to go check and see if Addy committed homicide @her vets!;)
Love,
Susan

:rolleyes:

I won't even go there:rolleyes::p:mad::cool::eek:

I had a very bad day yesterday which I will blame on my sleep depervation.:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o

Thank goodness it is Friday and maybe I can be a wlid and crazy girl who can go out with some other giirls who want to have fun

Too bad we cant all go for lunch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We could: cha, cha, eat a taco, cha cha, hot tamles!!!!!!!!:D:D

okay, this no sleep is getting to me. I am weird:p:p:p:p

Happy Days are here again, the sky is blue, lets sing a song of cheer again
OH, happy days

YIKES, SMIKES

You're too funny! :D
I like your choice of Mexican. I could go for a really good Mexican meal...

Addy-I SLEPT last night! We have an appt with the vet in an hour or so and I think when I return home, I'll try to see if I can nap. I fully understand how frustrating it can be not to be able to get the sleep we all so badly need. You'd think your body would know....."OK-this one is suffering through an especially large amount of stress. Let's all of us little sleep fairies make sure she gets a nice, solid sleep so she can march on tomorrow!!":)

Man, I'm hungry. GIVE ME CARBS!!!!!

I hope you have a more peaceful day today. It IS Friday.
Cha, Cha, Cha and lah dee dah. This week will soon be over and I can leave it behind!!
You take care.
Love,
Sus

I love it:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

I just got a letter from the rescue group we got Zoe and Koko through. Their lease is up at the mall and they are moving to a new facility. They are selling enscribed bricks for their garden. I am thinking if buying one with Koko and Zoe's name on it. Do you think that is okay to put on the brick? I am not sure what else I would put on it. Any thoughts?

Happy Saturday night. Hope the fairy's sprinkle sleep dust in your eyes.

love,
addy

My only thought would be if you wanted to add city and/or state. There might be a limit on characters. Milwaukee alone might exceed the limit!:D:D

I just Christmas shopped for Bailey on the web. I'm all done, I think. She is curled up right behind me, so I sure hope she didn't peek.:)

Draggy Saturday.:(

Love,
Sus

Is there a person like Dr. Oliver now? Did someone fill his position. Anybody know?
-s

Soooo is it Happy Monday after a draggy Saturday??!!!:D

Does Bailey read or just look at pictures???? :D What did you get her? Make sure it is either pictures or words so she won't find out. I know she will open the presents then re-wrap them and put back under the tree!!!:eek:

I have a feeling Ella will be eating the presents so I am a little, no a lot nervous about what will be happening!!!!:eek::eek: I am thinking a scat mat (a little shock/current) might be the ticket...is that curel or insane??? It could be the whole tree might be a BIG problem.

I hope you got more sleep and the pain is getting better!!!:D:p:)

Hi Marie!:)

I don't like the scat mat. I don't like anything that shocks.

Bailey neither reads nor looks. :eek: She will be getting a few toy balls that talk when pushed. We can't give her any stuffed animals because she is extracting the stuffing out of them. I just got her a new, pink sweater....but that's for now, not as a Christmas present.

Yeah-the tree will be interesting. We put ours' up Thanksgiving weekend while Ryan is here to help. So the tree will be up for 4+ weeks before anything is underneath it. Palmer was great. He would find the packages for him....and the ones he did not find, I pointed out to him. He had so much fun tearing off the paper. Why is it dogs like noise like that, and like plastic bottles?

It's a productive Monday after a draggy Saturday. I watched football games yesterday and not much else. This morning I got up early :eek: :confused: :cool: and after a bit took Palmer out for an early walk. That is the beginning of trying to walk regularly - to walk him, of course, but to get my feet back in shape. No pain anymore....mostly. I just feel like I'm walking on a large wad of something.:eek:

Monday is almost gone!! On to Tuesday!!

Love,
Susan

stopping in to say a quick "hi I miss you"

are we talking turkey??????


gobble
love
addy

I MISS you!
Turkey next week. Bob's the chef. I will make a pecan pie. Yuuuuummmmmm.

Love,
Sus

PINK sweater???????
WHAT HAPPENED TO THE RED SWEATER??

You're BACK!!!!!!!! :D:D:D:D:D:D
Well let's see.................You are sooooooooooooooo out of the loop now...............but I know you'll catch up quickly!

Pink sweater is for Bailey.....to keep her warm this winter.:) Red sweaters......I think you guys left them down in the nonbasement. :confused: You altogether missed that I went to Canada and brought back a Navy and a Brown sweater and a navy/brown sweater. I asked you all to pick, but no one picked so just last week I gave them to the surfer dudes.:D

Meanwhile I am on the non-boat coffee table..looking for Wally ....but I'm stuck on some sand.:mad: You better find your sweater. It was 39 here last week. I have heard the sump pump running in the nonbasement. It's damp down there!

How the heck are you?????? You've been sorely missed......just check the threads. Glad you're back. How is it going with the night mask?
-susan

Does anyone know a way to calculate or a place to find calories in dog food and dog treats???

(I will read threads to catch up)
IS MOM EATING DOG FOOD AND DOG TREATS? WHY ELSE WOULD SHE WANT TO KNOW THE CALORIES?!!

Caught again!!!!!!!!!

YAY!!! Is Carrol really back or just teasing us???

I know I am not a fan of the scat mat:confused:, but she just will not get it through her head not to jump up on the counter or table. She is so cute when she gets up on the couch, but she isn't suppose to be up there also.

Maddie was good with the tree, but she was a year old by the time we got it. And I don't really remember that far back...so I could be wrong--she could have been a holy terror.:eek:

Glad you are back walking again and the pain is almost gone.:)

I've been sitting here in the sand waiting for a ride. Ever since that stupid camel turfed me off, bit me in the rear end and ran away, I've been hoping someone would come to rescue me. H E L L O !!!!! I'm getting just a littled miffed here...:mad:

Wally is coming by FedEX!!!!!!!! Keep an eye out for him!!!!!!!!!!!!

You're sending a WHALE to the desert:rolleyes: Uh, Mom, whales need WATER and, unless you send him with a backpack, he is going to be in for a very big surprise!!

DANG!!! Foiled again...........
OK.......well didn't we already send the surfer dudes? What did you do with them???

Well............they decided to hang out with some belly dancers they met and took off. Anyway, I don't need the surfer dudes. I need some BIKER DUDES with WHEELS!! And how about a mess of Navy Seals with a big vat of water for the stupid whale who, by the way is really getting on my nerves.:mad: Now he wants to go "touring". Where the heck do you "tour" in the middle of the desert? And who told him he was on vacation????

Marie, did you try aluminiumfoil? Some dogs really don't like it and will keep of off counters and tables if you cover them with aluminiumfoil :D

But of course, you really should teach Miss Ella not to "up" everything ;) You should train her "up" by using an atribute where she can put her frontpaws up. (up = put your frontpaws on the object) Then, the next step is to teach her to get off of the object. Once she knows this, you can tell her to "get off" of the counter or where ever she has her frontpaws ;)

Have fun :p

Sas and Yunah :)

Sas, I will try the aluminum foil to see if that works, but will also work on the up and off commands like the speak and quiet. :D

Carrol wants Navy Seals...she let the surfer dudes go off with the belly dancers. I am thinking she doesn't have control of the situation much...:eek: O course she has been on vacation in the desert and now Wally wants to go touring...

Susan what price did you pay to ship a whale--you must be rich!!!:D:p
