Oh sorry about the belated birthday greeting:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR CORI
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!

I hope you enjoyed your peaceful day!!

Randy and Harley

We live in your basic colonial finished basement, main floor with living room, dining room, family room, kitchen (big kitchen) and sunroom.  We moved in shortly before we got Harley and when he came to us hubby decided Harley wouldn't go upstairs to the bedrooms or computer room.  Mostly for hair reasons and because when he was a pup he was naughty (he would shake the children's beanie babies until all the beans would come out).

Anyway, I spend all of my awake time downstairs so I can be with Harley - I don't like the fact that he can't come up but he does fine and it keeps the grouchy husband happy!!

Congrats on the new house!!

It is 7:20 and I can already say what a day...

Today is my first day back to work after having the summer off!!

I go downstairs feed and water Harley and grab a snack for my lunch..I drop a little tiny piece of a baked cheeto behind Harleys water and food dish (which is raised) I say "self you need to pick up that little tiny piece of Cheeto or Harley is going to know over everything to get it - naw says self so I walk away.....you guessed it:

BANG - CRASH - SKITTER SKITTER SKITTER - Harley knocked over the food and water and RAN away - off course it was all fresh and full and I have a mess on the floor my husband (you know the one who doesn't LOVE Harley or any messy dog for that matter) has just washed on his hands and knees yesterday!!  Get out the paper towels - nope to big a mess for that - OK the wet dry vac - trudge out to the garage find it, dust it, bring it in its working!!!  Oops when I turned it off all the water still in the hose comes back out onto my feet which of course are all ready for work and now I am grossed out!!  Back to the paper towels and then off to wash my feet need to be at work in 4 minutes - but yet I am writing to BPO - I hope the rest of the days gets better!!

Happy Tuesday everyone!!!  For those of you with much bigger problems than me (hurricanes, illness etc.) I'm sorry to be bit^&in about something so trivial!!!

Randy

Best of luck to all of our BPO friends that are in danger right now - we will be thinking and praying for your guys and that Gustov just falls apart!!

Drive safe, stay safe - write as soon as you can - we will be worried about all of you!! 

Randy

We had a very similar situation with our Springer "Stoli".

She nipped at my son who was about 2 - My son had crawled under the crib where Stoli was sleeping and tried to pull him out (I'm assuming) by his ear.  Well stoli gave a warning shot which scared my son to death but did no damage. 

About two months later we had to go out and stoli wouldn't go in her crate to hubby put his hand under the bed and Stoli bit him.  He was LIVID he was ready to get rid of her have her put down it was a very bad time in our lives as I feel that when I sign on to be a pet mom I need to do everything possible to keep that pet. 

I think from my husbands reaction Stoli knew she had done something wrong and she never did it again - BUT my husband had a hard time getting back to loving and caring for her the way he did before the incident it took a while - like maybe a year.

I am so sorry for what you are going thru I have been there and I know how awful it is to have the everyday stresses and then the added stress of thinking your hubby is going to make you get rid of a beloved pet.

I can't add any advise above what the very bright people on the board have already told you.  But make sure you don't allow yourself to be talked into anything or you will resent the person who made you make a decision that your felt was questionable.

FYI Stoli never did bite anyone again but we were definately more attuned to her moods and body language, she lived with us until she passed at 12 1/2.  My husband must have forgiven her because after she passed we bought a brick at our local SPCA that said "Stoli" 12 Unforgetable years.

Congrats!!!  How special that he actually gave extra special thought into where to pop the question!!

My husband wanted to take me to our favorite pizza place - but he was a few hours late (we lived about 5 hours apart) and I was so made that he was late I refused to go!!

Congrats again, can't wait for further details

The ring is gorgeous and so unique excellent choice!

Definately creepy.  I would also contact the TV station - while they technically didn't do anything wrong they need to make people aware of what information they will be using in an interview.  I also think if the letters go unanswered the prisoners will not contact you again. 

Honestly, if possible when your lease is up I would look into moving just for peace of mind.

Now practice with me...no   no   no  - a lesson to be learned!!
