"By George she's got! I think she's got it!"


We installed the invisible dog fence at least 8 weeks ago but have had a few problems with it ---first the control box had to be replaced, then the adaptor & finally they sent us a new collar. I have gotten so tired of trying to mow around all the flags!!!! We figured we needed to start from scratch with the training as we've stop & started so many times.
Anyway we have only been using the training collar that will just gives a beeping signal if she goes too close to the flags but we noticed she stays well clear of them. Yesterday afternoon she was being totally obnoxious so I put the collar on her & sent her outside..........Popster was cooking dinner on the grill so I figured he would keep an eye on her. Next thing I hear her barking out front! I ran to the door & she is sitting at least 8 feet from the flags barking at one of the neighbors from down the street who were walking their dog. They walked around the circle & back up the street & she just sat there wagging her tail. I was totally amazed.............but we will continue with the training anyway.

Just those damn flags!

  1. Maybe you can start culling out every other flag until there are none left?

    Good that she is getting it!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BIG BROTHER

Happy birthday to my big brother Terry...........have a wonderful day!

Designer "doggy uggs"

Poor Molly has been having a hard time already this winter with the snow. She has good size pads on her feet which are "webbed" like a lab's foot.  When she goes in the snow it builds up in between her pads & forms a hard piece of almost ice-like snow.  Then she holds her foot up for someone to pull it out.  I decided to make her her own boots. Jessica had spent the night here as we went to First night for new years....more on that later.....so we "googled" how to make dog boots & then modified it to work for Molly.  Keep in mind these were boots you could make in 10 minutes.  It took approx 10 mins to measure Molly's feet.  Two hours later here's the results I did decide to make her 2 for each foot figuring she would be like any typical kid & lose a couple here & there. We had to go to W*lmart in the middle of the project to get velcro to make the fasteners.  We then made her wear them around the house for a while &

Yea for Don the repair guy!

My new BFF is Don the repair guy who came today to fix the dishwasher. Amazingly, after he took the door apart it would close - I really did not believe the handle was broken but was defective! It had never felt right........always kinda loose. Anyway he decided that as long as we had a new handle he would install it & even gave me the old one as a back-up. Works much better now. Funny story - while he was here he got a phone call from the office telling him one of his earlier repairs of the day had called saying their dishwasher would not start at all. He called the lady back & suggested different things for her to try but nothing worked. He said he would stop back after his next call to see what it could be. As he hung up I said "Sounds to me like she has the "child lock control" on!". Sure enough after another phone call that turned out to be the problem! Maybe I need a change of careers!!!!!
