I read this in Heloise.  Put some pennies in a tin can and when the dog starts to bark shake it.  They stop every time.

My dog only barks if someone he doesn't know is at the door so we have a can of pennies by the door.  However, as the Yorkie breeder said, dogs can be trained not to bark when they are pups.  We got our Eskiepoo when he was 8 weeks old and would just gently hold his snout and  firmly say "no barking."  It didn't take long at all.  He's 3 years old now and  when he's out in the back (fenced in) and wants to come in, he does this one little yip about every minute or so until someone lets him in. Too funny.

I feel sorry for my neighbor's Yorkie.  Poor guy is stuck outside for hours on end on a 6 foot chain yapping his little head off and the owners do nothing.

Fleece socks!

They're great. I couldn't work in my slippers because the bunny heads kept hitting rewind or fast forward.

They can be a bit pricey and I was skeptical, but I found some at a local discount store for $5.00 a pair. My feet are toasty warm and comfy too.

He sounds like the type that knows better than to come to your house and violate a protection order, but you never, ever know and it's still early yet. Keep your doors locked.

My ex was "pre-protection order"  (i.e. many years back) and he got through the basement window and was sitting at my kitchen table in the pitch dark. I can still hear him sneer, "Did you have fun with your boyfriend?"

I was grocery shopping and my mother was watching the kids. I got lucky because he really didn't want to kill me, just control me.

He finally gave up on me when I found and eventually  married  a great guy that doesn't expect me to fold towels in high heels and "poofy hair".

Sad part of that story is that he also disowned his own kids. But, after 15 years, the kids have realized that it was neither my fault or theirs. Their "father" lives with me. Their "donor dad" is living 5 miles away, a recluse, and drinking himself to death.

I send him a case of vodka on his birthday every year. Just kidding! 

you can move it with you.  If you move to a place where it isn't available, you're out of the contract easily.  My son actually moved to a place where when they tried to set the satellite they found that the neighbor's trees were an obstruction and you're obviously not going to ask a new neighbor to cut down or even into trees, so they let him off the hook, no problem.  The phone company should not be a problem as long as you're moving, again you can just move it with you, unless you're moving a long distance and then you'll just cancel this one and get another wherever you move to.

I do think you need to keep this in perspective with your kids.  They are losing their daddy (almost like he died to them) whether they feel good about it right now or not.  It really couldn't hurt for all of you to get into counseling.  Eventually it will be a problem for your kids when they "miss daddy" and they "forget" (and they will since they are of young age) how bad things were when you were together.  Of course, this is JMO and others might see things differently. 

You can do it, we'll all pulling for you and saying prayers for you and your children.
