Snow stopped, then started again. But it's little flakes now, before it was huge puffballs.

Should go get the mail.

Afternoon, folks.

Any reason why you are perhaps dying tomorrow?

terminal grumpiness. treatable with puppies and sunshine.

he doesn't have to keep the dogs and it doesn't have to rain forever.

dontwantaname wrote:Well then they would need to foster puppies, because they all turn into dogs otherwise.

why do they need to do anything other than borrow some puppies for a couple of hours?

dontwantaname wrote:You have a rent a puppy near you? I know for awhile guys were doing that to meet women.

i'm not the one who needs the puppy!

I would love to borrow agingdragqueen's dog for a few hours.

Just putting this there.

All very interesting.

If I'm not mistaken, ADQ does.

i do. i have been assured by a very knowing ukanadian of my acquaintance in gaithersburg, that a young healthy puppy well nursed is at a month old a most delicious, nourishing, and wholesome food, whether stewed, roasted, baked, or boiled; and i make no doubt that it will equally serve in a fricassee or a ragout.

dontwantaname wrote:What?

Posts totally going off track and misread?

Nothing new about that.

Didn't say it was new; said it was interesting.

how long?

AZGman wrote:how long?

2-7 days, but I am hoping for faster results! (now, dammit - now!)

gotta say I just took a nap and rolling over wasn't as painful as it has been. No screaming pain from my butt into my thigh down to my knee....just a dull roar lol!

good deal . . . I guess.

well, I think it is

gotta say the doc did a great job today - they offer sedation if you want it but I opted out....I really didn't feel much of anything. They use fluoroscopy to position the spinal needle...if I ever have to have it again I might watch the monitor!

oh my Just read in the Pittsburgh paper about the death of a 3-day old baby - was apparently bitten by at least one of four family dogs - had been left in a baby carrier on the floor while the mother went to the bathroom. She was gone for 10 minutes, supposedly. She came back to find blood all over the one dog (a husky) and the baby had horrific head wounds and died at the hospital.

But we can't eat dogs?

AZGman wrote:But we can't eat dogs?

you can eat what you want

what on earth was this woman thinking....I know my dogs wouldn't do anything like that but I would never even think about leaving a newborn unattended with them, in a carrier on the floor.

Yeah, the cats would get it first!

dontwantaname wrote:I don't remember leaving a tiny baby alone, even without a bunch of dogs.

Not good. Baby couldn't be a threat to the dogs. Too young.
The dogs should have been able to smell baby.

Yes, I do believe there are bad dogs, just like bad people.

I know...I'm not a parent but one thing my parents gave me was common sense.

As for the dogs, with 4 of them, who knows what pack instinct took over. Could have been a possession issue, or maybe the infant squeaked/cried and sounded like prey....who knows. The report said they took 2 of the dogs out of the house, a husky and a pit bull...but it was the husky with blood on it's mouth. And that doesn't surprise me a bit. A lot of huskies are wired differently.

AZGman wrote:Yeah, the cats would get it first!

I would be more concerned about the reddog using that big ol' paw of his, trying to check things out. The cats wouldn't care. They'd sniff, Vicki might try to give it a bath...but other than that they wouldn't care.

You need to revisit Lady and the Tramp!!!

Lynn - glad you did not have a hard time with the epidural. All fingers and toes crossed that you will be feeling great in a couple of days (maybe even tomorrow!) Horrible story about the dogs and the baby - I so agree with everyone who has said the Mom used no common sense. Wonder if it was a teenager? Or, then again, I have heard that when you have a LOT of kids, you don't worry so much or sweat the small stuff. In this case, it certainly was not small stuff to do something that stupid.

AZGman wrote:You need to revisit Lady and the Tramp!!!

gotta say, I don't recall much of it. I am not a huge Disney fan, esp. of their animal movies.

My very first cats had never been around kids, but my big Boris (who was 12) crawled right up next to my godson the first time they brought him here and became his protector. And as the kiddo grew and became mobile he would lay on top the cat and maul him and Boris loved every minute of it.
