RN Gal, when I got up this morning and saw that album, I had to laugh again. My poor step dad was so sure Jethro Tull would help me be a better flute player and even then I knew it was totally hopeless, lol. Around that time I was totally into Duran Duran and Depeche Mode (child of the 80's) but still had a pretty deep appreciation of classic (wasn't really classic then was it?) rock. David was always in some garage band or other, we listened to music (stero, tapes, albums) like other kids watched tv back then, and David and mom were always taking us to concerts and to see other local bands preform.

RN there is a 5 blocks long street festival right outside my window. Grrrrrr. And someone in the t-mobile booth keeps yapping in both English and Spanish about winning a Sidekick--one given away every half hour! I'd leave, but so many of the streets downtown are closed I'd never manage to escape.

RN, I am rocking back and forth in a corner, feeling conflicted about WHICH celebrity gossip folder I should put my tidbit of celebrity gossip in. I may need therapy....

RN, I am going to kill my dog. She is being so destructive and I don't have a clue why. She chewed a corner of a library book, which will now cost me $115 to replace and with no money, I cannot shit $115. ooo...

rn, it is stressful to have no money coming in and having my dog ruin a book that i have no money for. with no job, having to come up with $115 within a month is stressful and irritating. granted it is partly my fault that i left a book on the couch where she could get it, i guess, but still. i'm not going to give her up or anything. i didn't hit her either. and i know why she did it, because she has a tad separation anxiety. but it still doesn't make any less stressful.

Just you saying "I didn't hit her either." makes me wonder. Reminds me of that line in "About Last Night"; Danny: Hey, know one thing - I never screwed around on you. Debbie: Oh, well, let's just give the boy a medal! I didn't realize it was such a sacrifice. As a dog owner, you shouldn't even be thinking about hitting a dog. You should be thinking about how that dog will react when you leave him/her alone and do what you can to prevent bad behaviors. Maybe a crate if necessary. Put stuff away that he might possible chew. You also said "I guess" about how you shouldn't have left that book where the pup could get it. It's just like with a little kid, you can't leave a crayon on the ground and not expect an unsupervised toddler to not write on the walls or even eat that crayon.

RN, The last thing you need right now from me Beckie is a lecture. We often say we are going to do things that we would never actually do just to be expressive and let the frustration out. I'm sorry to hear you are so stressed out. I hope posting here helped you get past the initial stress (it seems to have) and that you are feeling a bit better now. I like Costa's advice as well.

RN: ITA with Jimmer. Knock Knock Beckie, it's the literal police, here to take you at your figurative word. GEEZ. Sorry you are having a rough go. Hope things get better. I like red crayons too. Let he/she who has never EVER threatened, cast the first book/crayon/stone. They live somewhere aside from the real world. LOL

RN, yah...she knew she was in trouble. after picking up the mess i went over to her and just gave her a huge hug and just told her that she doesn't have to worry, i won't leave her (like she understands, lol). thanks for the advice guys. it does help. i'm hoping that maybe i can buy the book from amazon and just turn it in to them and let them know what happened...and pray that works. and i have never ever hit an animal. i wouldn't even dream of hitting an animal. and the thought did not even cross my mind at the moment. and she has never gone after any books (and they have been on the ground before, not the couch) and i thought being up on the couch was up enough...apparently not.

RN, LOL - Dogs (and cats) are funny that way. They will ignore something for months or years and then one day all of a sudden for no apparent reason ..... gotcha. You just have to laugh. I went upstairs the other day to find the computer router on the floor with the cable half chewed and our big cat looking at me innocently from the bed. I have to confess I was pretty ticked off. Now I keep threatening to show him that scene from Christmas Vacation with the cat and Christmas tree if he keeps it up!

I just attended a behavior seminar. The board certified animal behavior expert said that: "If you have several pets and you don't know which one is pooping on the floor, grate up a crayon and feed it to one of them. Repeat till the culprit reveals himself." The proof will be in the poop!

Forget it Beckie. Face the fact that cat poop is a delicacy and look the other way. Mouth oriented breeds (labs, goldens etc) are always going to do more chewing than other breeds. I hear that Canadian cats also like to chew.
