Dogs are pack animals. They want to be with their pack, sm
Which in this case is you and the rest of your family. I would suggest putting her crate in an area of the house where you guys are, *especially* at night, so she doesn't feel isolated. Can you put her crate in your bedroom at night, right by your bed?
I also agree with letting her gradually have more and more freedom out of the crate as she matures and is trustworthy not to chew things and is completely housebroken.
My last and probably most important piece of advice is to make sure she's getting plenty of exercise, especially before she goes into the crate. I have 4 indoor dogs, and I've found that exercise is a cure for many, many things. (There's a saying in dogs: "A tired dog is a good dog." So true!) A lot of dogs just simply don't get enough exercise, physical and mental, to tire them out. All that excess energy and frustration has to come out somehow. Maybe that's what's happening with her? Take her for walks, through a ball, etc. I personally use a device called a Springer that attaches to a bicycle and lets me safely take each of my dogs for a nice long run (without wearing me out!) You can find it here: http://www.springerusa.com/ (I do *not* use the safety release that comes with it, and I use a better harness than the one that comes with it, but I have big, strong dogs.)
You can also get a dog backpack for the dog to wear with something in the backpack to add a litte weight and help tire her out more than just walking will.
Some dogs are also just very sensitive to changes in the household. Maybe she's picking up on the hustle and bustle of this time of year and is stressed by it. (If so, exercise with be a release for that.)
Please keep us posted and feel free to share more info. and I may have more ideas. ;o)
try italian dressing powder packet that you mix yourself. sm
i marinate for about 3-4 hours in this and then grill. tastes really good. you'll have to mix it with vinegar. read packet and mix as directed and then marinate in it.
to be a little different, you can add almond or

Credit Card Reform Can Cost Good Card Users
Part of article:
Credit cards have long been a very good deal for people who pay their bills on time and in full. Even as card companies imposed punitive fees and penalties on those late with their payments, the best customers racked up cash-back rewards, frequent-flier miles and other perks in recent years.
Now Congress is moving to limit the penalties on riskier borrowers, who have become a prime source of billions of dollars in fee revenue for the industry. And to make up for lost income, the card companies are going after those people with sterling credit.
We pay off our balance every month. If they do this (punish those who have sterling credit) Ridiculous!! I'll stop using my CC and pay by cash or check.
So much for reform.
IMO a card would not be out of order at all. Except a sympathy card, of course.
I totally agree a sympathy card wouldn't quite be the thing, but it sounded to me that the original poster of that idea didn't mean a sympathy card like one for death. I think sympathy in the sense of "hey, you had a rough time of it with this birth, and maybe things haven't been the way you imagined, but know that I'm thinking of you and I'm here if and when you need me."
I got PPD when my breastfeeding relationship didn't go right, following a birth plan that went seriously awry, and the reality of a fussy, picky baby instead of the happy, sleeping one that I had imagined.
I *did* spend a lot of time on the phone, but then everybody's different. I would have loved to get a cheerful card from a friend, however. Does anybody NOT like a card?
Yep, then you take a big baseball bat
naw, just kidding but this was years ago and I saw rats swollen up like overfed pigs, well not that big but you could tell the edema had really set in. Maybe since they were in the farm yard they were just left to get blow up like balloons??
Does she like baseball? sm
For my 16th, my parents took 2 of my friends and me to a pro baseball game. The B-day deal included boxes for all of us with goodies (edible and nonedible) and my name on the scoreboard. The seats were not good, but a Montreal Expo outfielder (Andre Dawson) yelled out "happy birthday" to me. Best of luck!
I have baseball memories with my Dad
My favorite activity as a child was stick/hose ball. My Dad would cut up old hose and pitch them to us. There were some woods behind the house, so it didn't matter how hard you hit those pieces of hose. What fun!! We used to go crabbing in the summer and built gigantic snowmen in the winter. I was in the middle child with an older and younger brother, so I learned to play a lot of football, baseball, and yes, believe it or not, we used to play guns! Fake ones of course! Times have sure changed!
for all you baseball fans out there...sm
Boston did rather well...At any World Series ya get a really exciting experience, especially if you're in the nosebleed seats.  Cat

steroid use in baseball
Can anyone tell me why Congress is using taxpayer $ to investigate steroid use in major league baseball, especially on those who used steroids before they were banned. Why doesn't baseball clean up their own mess?
ACTUALLY, it is pay off the smaller ones first . . .sm
Dave Ramsey says put $1,000 dollars in savings for emergencies and then start by paying off low balances first. THIS AVOIDS FRUSTRATION. You can actually see accounts disappear instead of working on the big accounts first. You THEN take the payment you were making from the card you just paid off and snowball it into the next lowest balance, paying off extra each month. This way you can actually see progress and avoid frustration.
Pay off 2 of the smaller cc and take a well - sm
deserved vacation with the rest. ----Or just bank it for an emergency like loss of job.
Not sure but I think they are for smaller sm
I have a large chest too and occasionally wear a push-up bra but take out the padding (usually the padding is removable) that is underneath. You could also probably get away with just making the straps shorter on a regula bra with wider-set straps.
Watch a baseball game. sm
A lot of pro sports people do it too. Good luck, maybe he will stop.
We all have troubles with kids. My 21-year old son was on pot real bad, and he has finally stopped, so hang in there.
If he can play baseball with his vision...
he can play football with it. You need to see better for baseball.
Trust me, they don't have to be tough to play football. The first couple times they get hit, you can see how scared they are. Then the actually realize those pads really DO stop it from hurting...and some of our littlest ones turns into the most aggressive ones.
Football is hard work though, and the training is more difficult than the other sports. My husband coaches baseball, basketball and football for kids (12 and under). They do work a lot harder and they're pretty exhausted after football, but if it really is to the point where they are all throwing up and crying, you have bigger worries. You need a new program director!! I know that's not what you're asking about, but that's just not right for kids that young to be worked that hard. How can they possibly learn to love the sport from that?
Baseball "why" question
Watching the Olympics reminds me of this question....Can anyone tell me why we have a game that is called "The World Series" but only American teams compete and play????????
I loved a baseball bat in YOUR bathroom because I am in serious need of help!

So if I get a smaller chair...LOL

How about a smaller dish? nm
x
It is much smaller than it looks. See message.
Definitely don't count on putting a water bottle in there. Also, cute little pocket for the cell phone - whenever the purse is not on your shoulder this pocket is upside down, and when Velcro wears out or if it doesn't stick well, phone falls out.
And that front pocket where they always show some stuff sticking out of there? That is a zippered pocket that is left unzipped to put stuff in there, and whenever you open the main compartment of the purse, that pocket is also upside down and everything falls out. If you only need a really small purse for a night out or something it might be okay. My sister was going to get one, but after she saw mine in real life she said no way.
I had a report with a baseball stuck in a man's rectum -
when the nurses asked him why a baseball, he responded that his wife was not home and it seemed like a good idea at the time!!!
and you could put some smaller toys in big pinata....
Why not ask for an ultrasound if you have smaller breasts? I
s
Yes, this is also true: With smaller ones in the face..
they use laser nowadays, before that just electricity or a saline injection.
I worked for a hospital where the major baseball team
here in town used. I had access to all patient information including the telephone numbers and addresses. My daughter, at that time teenager, begged me for the address of a certain big time player who went on to marry Hallie B but no, no- was not gonna put my job on the line. I knew DD could easily turn into your stalker girl!
Smaller total amount of more feedings?
Have you tried feeding him more than 2-3 times a day and just putting a smaller overall amount in the dish? He might think he's actually getting more.
Hi, NightOwl, We can split, you take the larger one, I take the smaller ones! LOL...nm

Go PACK!
I have and always will be a diehard Packers fan! LOL@ the Vikings fan because my closest friend is also a fan of theirs and it has always been a source of teasing between us! She has come up with some very creative names for the Pack which I cannot repeat here. lol, and the Vikings became the ViQueens through the years. :) All in fun, don't bash me.
I have never seen a broadway play but hope to someday.
Pack leader
Some dogs are very strong personalities and need to have a strong-minded person as an owner that has no doubt as to who is leader of the pack (and it should not be the dogs). If the dogs are dictating who is allowed in and out and who the territory belongs to, they are in charge and as you pointed out, it isn't the breed so much as the owner.
GO PACK! GO BRETT!
I've been to Lambeau only once but really loved it! Greenbay is about 3 hours from where I used to live so we didn't treck up there much. Especially in the snow!
I would buy a pack, but not 2 packs

they can also pack their lunch

Also pack anything you buy in your carry-on - sm
one of my group made the mistake of packing her stuff in her luggage, every single thing was stolen that she bought there. I took mine in my carry-on bag, as did everyone else but her. Just be smart and aware.
I'll help you pack...

FedEx or UPS will be fine if you pack it
It is how they come to you if shipped! lol
They think like pack animals, not humans. They are

You got any extras you wanna pack up...
and send to Maine, you feel free! 
This is the first year I haven't had a garden and I'm totally bumming now that everyone's harvest is in. My downfall are the little sweet cherry tomatoes that are all warm from basking in the sun all day and wicked sweet...I ate so many one year I swear I was pooping crushed tomatoes! Totally gross but it was what it was. Man, they really were just like candy!
Congratulations on your harvest!
About Your Candy
Just wondering if you have a website regarding your candy business. ?
Arm Candy
You just have to enforce with him there are consequences to every action. Have a real heart to heart with him. Use Levi and Palin's daughter as a perfect example of young love. Remind him all the weight-watching, college, etc. will be down the drain if he makes a mistake. Then remind him of AIDS and all the other STD's that last a lifetime and encourage him to use protection. When the hormones are raging and the girls are falling all over them they need to be reminded. Just do it in a way that he knows you are not saying he is stupid but that you don't want to see him a mistake that could change/mess up his life for a long time.
I always put them in the lunch boxes with a cold pack. NM

Pack them a decent lunch. That is garbage.

So, June Cleaver... what do you pack for lunch?
Finger sandwiches? Please. It is one meal of the day and kids would eat far worse if given lunch money. Now why don't you run along and iron your aprons or something :)
I just bought a starter pack today
I'm going to give it a whirl. I figure I have about 40 pounds to lose to get back to where I was for most of the years between having my son at age 25 in 1987, and my daughter at age 38 in 2000. After gaining the pregnancy weight in 2000, I really barely lost any of it and now nearly 7 years later am about 10 pounds up from that. So, I'm going for about 40 pounds but 30 would probably make me happy. I figure since I work at home, if I end up with the "alli oops" at least I'm right by the bathroom.
Your post says exactly what mine did. Animals are pack
fa
Guys tend to pack light, and
probably would be embarrassed by something you were calling a hope chest. Nothing wrong with having a bin with practical essentials for them to take with them, but if it goes beyond what they can see they'll need immediately when they venture out on their own, they might leave it behind. And if it is girly or can't take a beating or isn't flexible about going from DW to MW to oven, it's not going to get used IMO.
Candy making
I use chocolate bark to dip with. I do know you have to watch the humidity outside. If the humidity is high, the chocolate will not set, but you can put it in the refrigerator to get it to set. Have fun!!
