No - my golden's name is Roxy the golden retriever. nm

after Carter and Lucy (sm)
in my opinion is when it started to go downhill. They turned Carter into a junkie and started going off into the doctor's family lives (Abby's mother's mental problems, her brother's mental problems, Pratt and his father, Chen and her father, I could go on and on with the not-so-good story lines). When they killed off Mark they killed off the heart and soul of the show (although Carter did a good job stepping into Mark's shoes and then when HE left, well . . . . . ). Now there's just not a whole lot of substance left.
Lucy's mother...
Unfortunately this situation happens a lot. It sounds like she is afraid of Lucy not liking her if she disciplines her. A lot of people don't understand that dogs crave an order to the house, den, etc, and if it is not given to them, they will try to establish it themselves i.e. destructive behavior, aggressiveness, and so on.
Lucy probably isn't a good match for her. She probably needs a dog that is already well trained, and even then she would still have to establish that she is the "den leader".
May I ask where you are located? I take in strays a lot and would like to get them spayed/neutered before finding them homes, but the cost around here is about $150 and I can't seem to find any programs to help (I'm in South Georgia). The humane society here has a low income program, but I don't qualify (by a whole $500). Yet if you take the stray to them most likely they get put down.
Kudos to you for keeping up with Lucy though!
Lucy, I would definitely be on the phone sm
with those people demanding an explanation!!. Especially since you live in an apartment -- there should be no reason why your bill would increase 6 times over, unless they hiked their rate ridiculously!!
I love Lucy and Friends

worthy of I love Lucy! nm

Good news on Lucy, the destructive dog
I have found humane society that arranges spaying/neuturing at no cost to me except for $5.00 for antibiotics the animal hospital charges. Lucy's mother tells me this morning she has decided probably best to give her up. I have found a place that rehomes animals through Petco- group of ladies- they take all animals as their own and animals can be returned once adopted, no questions asked, if they do not work out for the people. I reallly feel fortunate to have found this group of people on Craig's out of Atlanta.
Sounds like you have lots of "splainin" to do, Lucy.
You do NOT ever write off an older family member, Mom, Grandma, MIL, Dad, FIL. They will not be here that much longer and have walked the walk and talked the talk. Forget and forgive and forge on. You have no right to cut them out of your children's lives. You are not God.
I have a golden too...
And they are the sweetest dogs in the world. I can't imagine anyone treating an animal that way. I hope they go to jail or, at the least, get fined big time. Makes me angry. I live in a part of California that is very hot in the summertime, and we let our dog get in the pool with us all she wants, but mostly I let her lie around inside all day when it's as hot as it is here today (107 degrees, yuck!).
You definitely did the right thing by calling the authorities. I would have wanted to take him in too, but I would have been worried like you about getting in trouble for it. Bless your heart. At least the poor dog isn't suffering anymore.
golden lab retriever?

my golden retriever and me
I did not go anywhere for ten years because my golden retriever would have a nervous breakdown if she was away from the family. She bit a family member when we tried to let her sleep over at another person's house and she would not eat one bite at the kennel, threw up everyday, and fell apart.
THIS TIME, when we got a puppy we PRACTICED boarding. She would go for a couple of hours, I would pick her up, she would practice an overnight visit, and I would pick her up, practiced getting a bath at the kennel, etc.
We taught the first dog to not be able to live without us. We taught the new dog that sleepovers are not the end of the world. It is a really good skill for dogs to learn.
Alternatively, a LOT of hotels take pets!
1 Sheltie, 1 golden, 1 Brat Cat
Presently:
Crissie, bi blue Sheltie.
Jamie, golden
Kazie, AKA Brat Cat.
Just in the past year I lost:
Starting in March, 06 my 21-year-old kitty Dinger, then in July 10-year-old Taz Duh Golden (not too bright), 15 days later, B.J.'s a cat who absolutely loved Taz and I know mourned himself to death!, then in Feb 07, 'Stash a 15-year-old kitty.
Happily, I've had many grace my heart before this and are now waiting for me at the Bridge. Three are my absolute heart dogs....Jennifer and Tyde were goldens and Casie was a Sheltie/Shepard mix. I miss these little critters so much!
Which of the four Golden Girls do you most resemble and why? SM
I would say I am most like Dorothy. I give and get hurt, I love and am left, always trying to help my mother! I tell it like it is!!
Having just lost my golden retriever a
few short weeks ago, I can totally relate to how your are feeling. It never gets any easier to lose our fur babies. Hugs to you.
Love the pic. My golden who died 2
months ago LOVED the snow and would always run out in the yard, stick his whole head in and then do a slow dive and wiggle around in it. Thanks for the great memory.
Golden Retriever and Rottweiler!! nm

My golden gets hot spots in the summer sm
I shave the hair off around the hot spot and put Neosporin cream on it. Oh, and check your dogfood. We figured out he can only eat Purina Beneful or Pedigree. He devleoped many hot spots to Walmart brand and when we switched him back, the hot spots cleared right up. I keep his hair short and thinned out in the summer to help his skin get some air.
I have a Golden too - I hope that poor dog makes it.
It certainly didn't deserve to suffer like that. Thank God you took action and helped it. Keep us posted on its condition.
Golden Globes - anyone watch last night
First time in a long time I agreed with most of the choices they picked for winners.
I was especially thrilled when whatever category someone from the HBO series "John Adams" was up for they won. What an excellent and superb series that was. I went and bought it when it came to DVD and I have watched it many many many times.
I was also equally thrilled that whatever Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were affiliated with did not win anything. That really made my night. 
There were a couple Hollyweird people I lost what little respect I had for them. Glenn Close. When they announced the foreign winner (some Israel movie) they showed her face and you could tell she was very angry about that. And the other was Angelina Jolie. My DH had told me earlier yesterday that there was trouble because Angelina was stating something about Ann Hathaway "kissing her way into Hollywood" or something along those lines, and when they announced Anne's name for one of the awards they tuned in to Angelina's face and she gave Brad a look that I can't even describe, but it was obvious what she was thinking. 
Anyway.....loved the Globes last night.
I just hugged my Golden for an extra long time
I'm so sad for this poor dog. I know it is at Rainbow Bridge and at peace but what a horrible way for it to die, and it sounds as if it's life wasn't too hot either.  I hope it's owners get the book thrown at them.
To poster below, I have seen on TV for heatstroke they put alcohol on the pads/paws which supposedly helps cool them, also cold water on the body, etc. (I watch Emergenc Vets on TV sometimes - love those docs).
The students at the Golden Lab Academy eagerly awaited their first fieldtrip.

Estelle Getty of the Golden Girls passed away this morning SM
at age 84 after suffering with advanced dementia for the last several years. What a talent. The Golden Girls is my all time favorite show and I still watch it every day and never get tired of it.
Do you LOVE your husband? Want to spend your golden years with him?? Drop this fantasy at
s
I did. I leave all judgments up to the Lord, I take his golden rule to "love thy neighbor as the
to be the supreme rule, try to live by it always. I do not have to condemn, or judge in any way, Jesus is the supreme judge, what is wrong with extending earthly concern, friendhip, and love? Sometimes that works oh so much better when trying to "enlighten' someone than judgment, or hate, or harshness. That is all.
Sorry.. I meant
to say that they will assess a penalty on you this year. If you are unable to pay back the loan amount, prior to the end of the calendar year, the IRS will expect penalty fees. Your 401K company is obligated by law to turn this information over. If you close out your account, expect to have up to 40% withheld.
Meant to add
It seems as though almost all treatments for cancer have side effects which include a possibility of cancer later in life.
Oh, meant to say
I was going for guardenship of my father - set to be filed in court on Monday and he was killed going to see this woman over the weekend. I had no qualms about having the courts to step in, wanted them to because he did not want to listen to me, his only living child and next of kin.
I don't think she meant this towards the OP, but to --sm
the poster above her.
OMG! Meant SIL!!! LOL!!!

Meant to say IS IT POSSIBLE? NM
!
Meant to put JW, not JV
s
Meant to ask you below
Could you tell me what an M-team and an S-team are? Also, do you know what an LEA is? It may be that we are in different states and the terms are interchangeable with something I have heard of (I think I read something about an SST team, may not be the correct letters though).
Glad you were able to get things to go your way! We have always been pleased in the past and our son has always progressed very well in their programs, receiving A's and B's on his report cards and major behavior improvements, but they missed the mark on this one, and when my husband signed acceptance of their plan after their refusal to try what we thought would be best for him, he told them what would happen and his prediction has come true.
Perhaps this was meant for OP?
Not sure why you would intend it for moderator--didn't see anything in mods post that you had to stop.
Sorry, I meant --looking at it the right way--- no msg
LOL -Yep, what is what I MEANT to say - sm
Running on no sleep and just not making sense. I stand corrected!
it's exactly what she meant, you know.

Well.....I meant....sm
the time before the first ice age. Kinda of hard to believe that we are heading to an ice age when temperatures around this part of the country can top 100+ degrees in the summer and stay up as high as 70 in the winters. Weird weather.....
Anyhoo.....I also like to melt about a half block of the big block of Velveeta and add a can of chili to it and heat through until bubbly. Really good with Fritos, too!
I meant...
I know someone with a dog that gets loose often, and sometimes it is beyond your control.
Well it is according to how he meant...sm
how he meant it. If he wasn't playing around and was serious then I would be mad. I mean you never want to call your child names.
yes, that's what I meant - Thanks!
nm
(I meant, " CAN'T see...")
.
What I meant was...sm
There's no debate because I am not arguing against ESC research.
All she meant
was please don't put it in the subject line...I didn't watch either show until this afternoon, so when I scrolled down and saw "Talking about AI" (or whatever the OP said) I just skipped it and came back tonight and read it after I had watched. That's all.
I meant to say
When I looked back at my post, I meant to say my mom is the only person we will leave a sick child with if we absolutely have to go somewhere, not that if we absolutely have to leave them with her. My mom is a retired nurse, as well as having great mom common sense after raising 4 kids with all the mumps, measles, chicken pox, colds, flu, etc that goes along with it. She's also close enough to pick them up from school if need be. It's just worked out really good for all of us. Like I said, I think she and the kids would have missed out on a lot if she had lived far away.
Thank you! That's what I meant. nm

Don't be dumb. I'm sure others got what I meant ;)

meant to say other children not other other. nm

Fibromyalgia, meant to say
in the above post. Thanks again.
I said I competed when I meant to say He...sorry!
No way in this world could I stand in front of a crowd and make an impromptu speech. Give me something to read or act out and I am there but just flying by the seat of my pants, never.
You know what the poster meant
by spelling it wrong and who really cares. There is always someone out there to nit pick. GEEZ
