Counter Surfing

Our beagle gets up on the kitchen counter and eats anything he can get his grubby little paws on. We came home one night and he had eaten an entire bag of peppered beef jerky, including the little packet that keeps it fresh and is labeled "Do Not Eat." Another time, he took a package of chocolate candy off the counter and ate it along with the foil wrapping. He is also able to open the kitchen cupboards and has eaten pure cane sugar straight from the bag. Obviously, we cannot keep anything edible on the kitchen counter or in any of the cupboards within his reach.

I am surfing the net, chatting, and enjoying my new book ...
I got it all finished yesterday; shopping, wrapping, work, etc. I bought myself the newest book by Christopher Paolini, "Brisingr". I cannot wait until the house settles down and I can get into some serious reading. LOL.
Merry Christmas to all my MT friends. I hope you have a merry Christmas and a happy New Year.
The counter...
 You know the one, the countdown until Christmas on the main board. It is stressing me out!! It reminds me how far behind I am on my shopping.... I do not like to shop, but I hate having to be reminded that I am late.....

I would counter for 140,000 and see what they say.

The dog I mentioned above (Clara) is a counter pro. I hear ya!! I knew she could do the counter thing, so I put 5 wine glasses around a just-delivered pizza which I went outside for a second. When I came back in, not one glass was moved, but 3 pieces were gone... she was the only **one** in the house!! LOL
Clara is an average sized dog with great jumping ability. I'm amazed that a beagle can achieve that feat!! You must have one amazing doggie :-) I know, I should scold, but I have a soft spot... or 3...
You might feed the cat up on the counter.
That's what my sister does. Otherwise you could use a baby gate. I used to lean a baby gate in a doorway. The angle left an opening for the cat, but the dogs were afraid of tipping the baby gate.
You are buying great food though.
To avoid this, I take an over-the-counter
supplement:
Fishoil + vit D + vit A,
all in one capsule.
The reson that your husband is deficient in vit D, although he gets a lot of sunshine mightt be that he is deficient in calcium.
The body needs to get enough calcium to be able to absorb vit D, and vice versa.
can you treat a UTI over the counter?
I am one of those lucky MTs that dont have health insurance and that makes it pretty annoying when I have probelms. Like right now I am sure that I have a UTI, but dont want to go to the ER and get that $600 bill. I bought some AZO and cranberry vitamin. I figure I will drinks lots of water and see what happens... any suggestions? Thanks a lot!
Yikes!! Yes, Abreva's over the counter.
I think it's around 18 for one of those little tiny tubes. Well worth it though.
Keeping kitties off the counter...
I have always had good luck with this. Cover your counters entirely with aluminum foil. Tape it down. Leave it a day or two. The kitties absolutely hate the feeling of the foil under their paws and won't go back. I have even used this on the back of a sofa and it worked there too. The picture of you sitting there by the tree, in wait with the squirt gun is priceless. All this kitty talk, I'm getting ready to go to the shelter and get me another little furball of love. Wise
Anyone on here with interstitial cystitis that has found anything over-the-counter that has
helped this problem.
what about the mom that smokes weed with her 2 year old left on the counter
that could fall off, grab a knife, who KNOWS. just so she could "FEEL GOOD".
this is a ridiculous argument. should it be illegal? who knows who cares, i look at it like anything else that alters your mentation, including alcohol.
both can turn out to be bad BAD decisions
do i personally care if you smoke pot once in awhile, no i dont but that's like assuming EVERYONE is doing it responsibly.
that's a joke
Give a sniff at the perfume counter! :) Laura Ashley's #1 is nice. nm

Is that over the counter. I checked on Zovirax ointment and it costs $180 for a teeny tube. That
is crazy and the insurance wont pay a penny.
