A few weeks back I posted about calling the police s/m

about dark barking next door to me. If you remember, I was feeling a lot of guilt and sadness in the beginning because I love dogs so much and did not want to do anything to make things worse for them.

Well, at first my very verbal neighbor was very compliant and I almost never heard a bark for the first two weeks. Now since Wednesday (my day off, thankfully) the large dog who sits at the back door wanting back in the house is being kept out almost the entire day again. Wednesday morning was terrible. I kept looking out the window seeing him sit by the door, and any noise that I make in my kitchen or the guy downstairs might make obviously gets him going again. If you remember, this young guy next to me got furious, was waving his arms and screaming at me in front of the police. I don't think I have to tell you that I don't want to do that again. Why would anyone buy a beautiful dog just to put it out and have it bark to get back in? He has been sitting there now since 7:30 a.m. and it is now after 10:30 am.  He does not bark continously, but on and off for hours and hours, sometimes with a minute or so break. It is warm, nice sunny weather here, so the dog is not in extreme heat or cold. They take him in at night.  I have been going through a depression that is impossible to describe. I can't afford to move, but I am so tired of seeing this poor thing sitting by the back door in an array of toys, debris, etc. This was a decent neighborhood before Mr. Inconsiderate moved next door. If I call the police again things will be terrible. I live here alone. Thank you just for listening. The dog is not the problem. He is a beautiful dog and just wants to go in. He deserves a better life. They also have two Daschunds and they are inside most of the time. The big dog is not tied and has a small yard to run in while he is out.  

• A few weeks back I posted about calling the police s/m - Really need you help
  • Just adopt the dog or MOVE. Seriously. What other choices do you have!!????? - Oh goodness
  • Call Animal Control in stead of the police. Maybe they'll take the dog - away due to neglect. Poor pup...NM
    • I had that problem with a neighbor, only they weren't caring - for the dog in addition to the dog (sm)
      • You dognapped? - Cathy
      • Contact your local ACO.... - Hayseed
        • Thanks, Hayseed. You are right. I don't think it is - Really need your help

anyone remember when - forget his name - sang * geek in the pink * ?  I LOVED THAT....have downloaded the original to my iPod BUT he dedicated it to his grandma and after he sang it, Paula asked him if his grandma would know what geek in the pink means and he just shrugged. 

Can someone tell me what * geek in the pink * means?  I am over 50, have asked my youngest, who is 25 years old, and she did not know.  Figured SOMEone here could clue me in before I go around the neighborhood jogging and singing it out loud!!

TIA Idol Fans!!

PS - I also downloaded the Jamiroquai song the other guy sang.  Those were the two BEST renditions, just love those guys.

went in, had cath done and had two 70-75% stenosed arteries, CHF, 10% function and may need a transplant. They stabilized him with meds and he is at home with a cardiac vest. He has not felt well for the past year, but kept putting the doctor visit off. Of course, they told him that had he come in sooner it wouldn't be this bad. Good luck.

and a lotta folks gave you great suggestions on food and nutrient supplements for your old furkid.  Go back and review those posts. 

I'm sorry to hear that she's still losing weight. 

I've had quite a few cats and when they get unsteady on their feet, can't get to the litter by themselves and losing weight, ya know what time it is. (And I know you don't want to hear that from your original post).  

Just keep her comfy, feed her favorite goodies and love on her.  Cat              

Chances are good the little varmint is on their radar for something else.  If they do come out, and if they manage to come out often enough, maybe Mom will get po'd enough to do something about it.   Or maybe he'll do something stupid enough with the cops there that they take further action.

old timey comfort food....Been doin' southern style soul food for hubby, but chitterlins I just cannot deal with.  He's cooked them over the years in the house and I just absented myself until the smell had dissipated.  (Before you ask, that would be Ellie's intestines).   

How about lamb shanks and barley with carrots and onions, a little salt and pepper cooked on the back burner on low for hours?  You can't find lamb ankles anywhere these days.

Is there a chance that you can just make the liver or stuffed peppers for yourself and air out the house so hubby doesn't freak?  He doesn't have to eat it....just throw him a hot dog.    Cat

Most communities have a 211 system set up for all sorts of assistance.  I called when I broke my tooth and they set me up with an income-based fee clinic here in town.  It is amazing how a toothache can become all-consuming.

211 helps people refinance their mortgages, elderly needing a ride, mental health, physical/laboratory screenings, food banks, almost anything you could need from your community.... give it a try -- hope it helps.

About 5 years ago an MT was murdered in Knoxville by someone selling magazines.  She worked for a national and was alone, but in a nice neighborhood, upstairs working in a townhouse.  That guy may seem weak enough but he may have partners.  Didn't mean to scare you, but it really made me get cold chills.

Wow does that bring back memories!  My mother, now deceased, HATED and I mean HATED being called "ma."  She used to nearly backhand us if we said it...she said we sounded like bleating sheep! 

That is too funny that it grates you the same way!     

To make a long story short I need some expertise.  My male cat was a sprayer before we got him fixed way back when.  Then he decided to pee in our dining room and we took up the rug and put in a wood floor (this was quite a few years ago - cat is 11).  Then he proceeded to pee in all the corners of the family room.  We just had wood floor put on there and all has been well.  Until about a week ago, he decided to pee again on the dining room wood floor, no where else, but he still uses his litter box.  I had cleaned it with vinegar and it seemed like the smell went away and I thought all was well until I again caught him peeing on the wood floor in the same area more than once.  My husband has had it (he destroyed a lot of things already from when we first got him).  He is ready to take him away somewhere.  I don't know what to do next.  My husband doused the area with vinegar again.  Anyone have any ideas?  Anything that will keep him away, or any other tricks to get he smell out.  Any help would be appreciated.  Tonight will not be a very happy night.   

Too bad the child in question didn't say 'go look in the mirror and say it to you'...i know, that's is a childish response but NO WAY your husband should think calling a child horrible names is acceptable.  I wonder if his parents talked to him that way when he was a child...makes one wonder...

Hubby should apologize to that baby.  Mom, just explain to your baby that people should'nt say bad words to other people; and always let your baby know that he come to you at ANYTIME...perhals this sounds simplistic but it's sad that adults (OR ALLEDGED adults) think its okay to tear down a child's self-confidence this way!!
