The Daily Poop
Life is bad when you keep a daily journal of dog food, intake and
outflow... BUT I think we are finally making progress yesterday I took the dogs off of all kibble.... today was the second meal made from scratch for them. (the dogs get chicken and rice, hubby gets soup and a sandwich, at least he knows his place in my pack) I've started them as of last night on a. rescue remedy (the straight drops) b. wholistic digest-all plus (powder for their food enzymes AND probotics) plain fat free yogurt 2 tablespoons pure pack pumpkin 1/4 cup boiled white rice 2/3 cup boiled chicken 1/2 cup chopped for about a week (with rescue remedy and the digest it all sprinkle (1/4 teaspoon or less to start) their diarrhea panels should be back today... clearly Hannah is not feeling 100% today. she left food in her bowl and she has a lot of bowel sounds and a lot of noisy gas... HARLEY just went potty and HAD A NORMAL POOP!!!!!!!!!! oh the things that make me happy!!! Best Wishes, Nessa ---- Dog Mom to: Hannah age 6.5 Pitador rescued age 9 weeks Harley small shaggy cow that I love and adore (landseer Newf rescued 10/08) (Angel) Bagel went to Rainbow Bridge 9/18/08 my Newfandstuff age 8.5 |

The Daily Poop [JH]
Nessa had the audacity to criticize me for my handling of Muttley, and also
made disparaging remarks about my character, based on my posting history which started in May of 2006, when I was admittedly clueless about dogs, and having real problems with a difficult situation. Thanks, Jerry, for digging up some of her own history which goes back much further. She's still having problems with her dogs. Me and Muttley, not so much. He's been very reliable and stable for more than two years now. It took us about 5 months to work things out. You can read in the following about her problems which went on for almost a year, and probably continue to this very day. Paul and Muttley JH wrote in message ... Subject: I went away for the weekend... big mistake 1 From: Nessa - Date: Sun, Jul 21 2002 9:58 pm Email: Nessa I went away for the weekend and I think my dog walker will never speak to me again. Bagel escaped from the kitchen and ate about 10 pounds of puppy food and proceeded to deposit it all over my house. He esp. liked my living room sofa which was my mothers as he pulled some cushions off of it and literally stood on it and peed. Yes I know my dog has issues and I know I need help. I think my poor dog walker needs therapy now. It was a rough dog weekend for her and not just with my kids. I didn't know until the last minute I was going away and NEXT time, the furbabies will go to furbaby camp for the weekend. It was too much for them. Well live and learn. Meanwhile, I'm still glad I went on retreat. My house will survive as things are not important. Hannah still loves me and Bagel will talk to me in a few days..... Nessa Subject: Puppy license expires 1 From: Nessa Date: Fri, Jul 26 2002 5:57 am Email: Nessa Yep, she is pretty much housebroken so I let her out of the crate at night to sleep with me. But last night, while I was asleep she ATE MY GLASSES. It's my fault, I left them on the night table (where I always leave them) so I could see when I got up. I needed a new pair but I wanted to be able to get them without having to miss work. Now, poof here I am glassesless. thank goodness we have 1 hour glass makers pretty close by. Well she's crated now until this chewing phase is over. Hannah will be 5 months old next week. Any advice on how to deal with this other than the standard, no bite, here chew this, crating, etc. Nessa 2 From: J1Boss Date: Wed, Sep 18 2002 7:48 am Email: (J1Boss) Nessa wrote: Problem is it that when I am trying to sleep esp. between 1 and 5. I CAN'T just let them bark it out (because if I could it's no biggie and I can sleep through it). What the (*&(*)(* are they doing awake between 1 and 5? I can live with the banging (as Bagel slams Hannah into the wall or Hannah throws one of her bones down the uncarpeted steps and they waterfall down the steps (there is no other way to describe dogs running down wooden steps) Baby gate. Door. Do NOT let them wander the house getting more charged up. I'm too sleep deprived to do anything much. HELP!! Nessa - I would seriously consider why these dogs are up at 1-5 and even thinking they CAN be! They need to be confined to your room, told firmly to knock it off, and have that backed up with some sort of correction if they don't. If all else fails, tether then away from each other, but honestly, if they aren't responsive to you telling them to cut it out, we're back to the "bigger issues" problem. Janet Boss JH said: Maybe she can't scream at her dogs at night? nessa CONtinues: A few weeks ago it started at 5:30 am and it has become increasingly earlier until this morning he started at 4:00. Ignoring him has proven to be futile, as has calming him down and rewarding him with a treat and, as a last resort, spraying him with water from a plant sprayer. This morning I even put him in his crate and took him into the bathroom with me as I prepared for work (normally he stays in a x-pen in the kitchen) but he only calmed down for a few minutes before the whining began again. A 1 year old should be hanging out with you. Overnight, around the house, and heck, even neat the bathroom while you get ready for work.. -- Janet Boss JH said: nessa's dogs got her EVICTED to boot {}: ~ ( From: Nessa ) Subject: Sad News.. I need someone to take my dogs Date: 2003-08-26 09:55:03 PST well I'm not BLAMING my job it's ONE of MANY things that I'm considering. As for returning them to their respective shelters, I don't want to split them up and I'm not going to give them to just anyone. Possibly because I am doing everything I can to keep them and drag this mess out as long as possible in hopes that it will work out. |

With so much to be thankful for this year (healthy family, healthy dogs, warm home, good friends) I would not want to overlook the small things that quietly do so much to improve our quality-of-life in things that are so easy to overlook. Like, for example, the killfile.

He's at the bridge and has been since September. and I stopped having problems with Hannah a long long time ago. And it took you about two years. Yet you apparently don't give me credit for making Muttley a good companion dog in about 5 months, and also having good results with another difficult rescue dog "Lucky". I did the best I could and continue to do so. And I've been honest about my experiences in my postings. I'll give you credit for your efforts only if you stop trying to demean mine. But you'd rather hang out with the hens that delight in pecking at those who don't conform to their norms. the current "problems" I'm having with Harley are NOT behavioral based on anything I'm doing wrong but rather on a history of being a puppy mill rescued pup who had not been separated from a litter mate till nearly a year old. Harley is house broken Harley does not run away from me Harley is a bit skittish around strangers but warming up nicely to others Harley is having some intestinal "disfortitude" that we are working on. Good luck on that. But I think much of that is stress-induced. I have read other items in the archives that indicate you have had problems of your own that may be a factor in your problems with your dogs. I hope you are getting the help you need, Ladybug. You can read in the following about her problems which went on for almost a year, and probably continue to this very day. [snipped quotes from archives about excessive barking, destructive behavior, and extreme distress that nearly resulted in the dogs being surrendered to the SPCA.] you can read it but it's not accurate. They are your own words as are enshrined in the archives. Maybe the prayers that others offered actually worked for you and your pups. and none of them continue. NONE. for one Bagel had to be put to sleep in September. But when that happened he was a lovely housebroken dog that did not eat things he should not nor did is misbehave. I could have people in my home at any time. He was quite the character. His grumpiness was probably caused due to pain not a default in his character or my training. Hannah is a delight.

Good for you. Same with Muttley. So why do you chastise me? JH said: Maybe she can't scream at her dogs at night? why would I need to? they are sleeping (on their pillows on the floor) JH said: nessa's dogs got her EVICTED to boot {}: ~ ( Can't evict me. I own the home. have for nearly 20 years. since I have Jerry killfiled I have no clue what it was he said about me being evicted. but I was not evicted.

Paul at least if you are going to ATTEMPT to insult me, get your info correct. as for my playing with you here... yep I'll play. and I'll rename. You started this by brown-nosing Melinda, who originally (and predictably) attacked me. You could have chosen to remain silent or act more hospitably, but you joined her hen-pecking party like a pea-brained chicken. It will get me killfiled but that's ok. I have plenty of support in plenty of places. As do I. Usenet is for fun. And so it is for me Best Wishes, Nessa (I don't believe you don't really mean that..) Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
