Open or unopened bottle? If it's unopened, go for it, if not, I'd say cook with it.

And DO try mulled wine, it's a great cold weather drink

Invite a girl friend over or something, might help you keep your sanity!

When Tom leaves, Diesel becomes a total clingy whiner. He follows me around the house, won't even let me go to the washroom alone, lets out little whimpers and heavy sighs... Apparently he does the same to Tom when I'm gone.

But then, when we are both home, he just goes and lies in the kitchen away from us!! LOL, maybe he's just exhausted from all the clinging by that time

Consult a pro.

I find it very unforgiving (no offense to hubby

) that his new behavioral problems get him kicked out of the house, especially when most behaviors can be redirected with proper training. This just means that fixing this particular problem is beyond you both, doesn't mean it's impossible! Honestly, before any decisions are made, get a professional trainer to see him.

Good luck!

Sorry double post, but I'm curious, was she short haired to begin with or is this newly acquired with the skin problems?

And Emily, you read my mind - I have every intention of getting another pupper around August or September! The more Newfs, the better!!

I've been working on the hubby for a second dog, but no go... maybe if I ask for a skin kid he'll get me that second dog?

I mean come on, the dog really needs a dog!

(I AM totally kidding about the skin kid threat- don't worry

)

It's pretty crazy, the same night that I posted, I took the dog out and the flood had vanished!! But know its been raining for 2 days and it's coming back up again. On the plus side, we found our basketball, it's floating in the middle of the lake

I had to look that up!

Aww, pretty cute

I'm sure you'll think I'm a huge dork, but last week at the shop I ran away shrieking like a little girl from a huge rat we found. My coworkers now know I'm not 100% ferocious
