That sounds comfy. I miss having a cat, of course now I'm allergic.

There goes the theory of "if I get another cat I will get over my allergy and be able to tolerate my own cat" poor Orc, he really loves cats.

hehe, I wonder if it will be that bad. I always had a cat and a dog growing up. I played my summers on my grandparents hog farm. But then after my first year in college I went home and had trouble with my cat. Not the whole time, just at first, but it's gotten worse since then. Of course that cat is no longer with us, and my Mother does not want another one, so whenever I am around them now it is only for a short time. Still get all itchy and miserable though.

Wife is allergic to animals (supposedly). But I really want a dog again. We'll see. But I did make a step in the right direction- we have a bird...

I never had critter allergies growing up - seasonal stuff only. But my allergies have gotten more outta control the older I get. And it seems that I have developed a dreadful intolerance to dalmation fur - last few times I have held a dal I have broken out in hives.

Small town....kinda NE part of the state. Moved here a year and a half ago (better schools)

Is there something I could put in my trash can that would make a dog sick, but not kill it?

arcsus wrote:Ha! we were supposed to get a bunch on Wednesday too but it totally missed us.

I'm bummed; we haven't gotten any . . . and I 'd like some!

oh wait....you were talkin about snow.....









never mind

Lynnzoi wrote:um, why fer?

Well we found out what has been getting into our trash can and trashing our yard. I know the owners won't do anything about it because they are already against ordinance for letting it run outside. Plus I'm pretty sure it's from the meth house down the street. I don't want to kill it, but it is becoming a nuisance, and I am a smidge worried for my kids as they start playing outside more.

We're supposed to get less than an inch tonight. Which means probably five or nothing.

I'd be more apt to call the local dog control officer....making him sick with your trash won't keep him away from your yard.

Lynnzoi wrote:I'd be more apt to call the local dog control officer....making him sick with your trash won't keep him away from your yard.

No, but he would make a mess on his owners carpet, and maybe make them keep him in. Yeah, we are going to try to catch him next time we see him. And report him to the main office. The controller can't come in the neighborhood because it's all technically private property or something like that.

I was going to put it in the trash because that's his favorite thing in my yard. I have frozen fragments of diapers stuck to the grass. A whole section of the yard we can't use until it thaws in a couple more months.

last week we had temps in the 40's.....felt like spring. This return to winter bites. I know, I know - its only mid-Feb. But we have had snow cover since before Christmas and I am gittin a tad tired of it.

odds are, if he messed the carpet, they'd boot his ass out even more.

Lynnzoi wrote:odds are, if he messed the carpet, they'd boot his ass out even more.

That'd work too. If he's here, he has to be registered with the office. If the office catches him in the street more than once, they'll get evicted. Their people only notice stuff if it happens during the day though.

I'g shoot it - and torch the meth house. . . but that's just me.
