at the end of the day after all the stuffs in put in their proper burial places, peyton plays with "the skins".

I wonder if those oils are safe for birds?

I have the worst time keeping my house smelling even remotely clean. With anywhere from 17-20 dogs, sometimes more, and 11 birds and 9 cats... it smells like animals. And because of the birds I cant use stuff like febreeze, lysol, plug ins, etc.

So I wonder, does anyone who uses these have birds?

darrin's mom is a fanatic with febreeze and she has two young parakeets and they do fine. i told her that smells and sprays and such can actually kill them, but they are still a tickin. but she also airs out the house everyday regardless of hot or cold too!

for peyton to not be eating as much as she normally does? her personality and tempriment (sp) is still the same. happy go lucky. but when she eats it a third of what she used to eat and she runs around between bites. and just leaves the rest of it all day. she doesn't pick on it through out the day. it that normal? or i guess do other mom's have that happen too?

one year and 3 months. in a month peyton will be that age! she still jumps on people when she is excited! heck! did they not realize that dogs in general are hyper?! what idiots! and why in god's name would they think that if they get a younger puppy they can start over? in a year it's gonna be the same family, the same puppy all over again. psh!

i admit, i do wonder about certain breeds. just cuz i only read about them in books, but when i see them in person my first reaction is to blurt out what i think it is. usually i am in the right family...but i never argue about it. people do argue about peyton though. but i can't fight back cuz i don't even know what she is! supposedly she is rott/french mastiff but who knows!i tell them what we were told when we bought her, but sometimes if they have a pure breed dog i ask what they think she could be. its fun learning how people see her, cuz i see her as a little thing. she is my puppy and i don't see the long nose with the gowls that hang not as long as danes and i don't see her flat head like a boxer or the shades of a german shepard. recently i had been asked if she is part "pointer", i laughed and i said maybe! she had found a bunny in the bushes behind our house and she was "pointing". foot forward and tail straight back. it was cool! but i do get "who is walking who" alot and well the answer is she is! it's annoying to hear everyday, but it is the truth, unfortunately. but i love her for all her kisses and not all her notches on the breed belt.

wow, okay. i will take her in tomorrow. thanks!

I wish I could help. Rella came into heat this week as well, but she is still just happy go lucky

if this is what moms to skin kids feel like when they scrape knees, then i am gonna bubble wrap my skin kids when i have them. it sucks! i don't know if it gets better with each heat, if not, then i am definately making her an apt for her to get fixed! i am so sad for her. ~she was happy go lucky until 2 days ago though. so it's not all bad i guess. and i guess she does have moments where she is herself, but this crying thing and i can't help her sucks! i am used to if she crys, she needs to pee or poo, or if she cries i need to put MORE water out, or she is hungry or she just wants me, but i don't know what i can do for her. she gets lots of massages now though!
