Thanks for the info, I will keep an eye on the ph of the water...I was hoping because they are old weathered blocks, that they would be okay. I also put in those big pcs of porceline as more weight. These top baskets are 2ftsq, so am still debating using these bigger rubber tubs(I think they are farm feed bins)and just fill them up with all the water lilies I have. I didn't think I could get away with that many fertilizer spikes!!! Last year I used maybe(can't remember) 5 in each and had a lovely display! I also have this HUGE tub, like 2 ft around! Was considering using it, but not sure if I could haul it back out again when I need to. Plus it is a very bright green...hmmm. Here is a pic from last year, showing how the pond is right off the deck.

I still can't find JSStorage. My Persistent storage window has the following items in it: Databases Access Handling Domain Quota Exceeded Handling For Databases Domain Quota Exceeded Handling For Widget Preferences Domain Quota Exceeded Handling For localStorage Domain Quota For Databases Domain Quota For Widget Preferences Domain Quota For localStorage Global Quota For Databases Global Quota For Widget Preferences Global Quota For localStorage SQL Query Execution Timeout What have I missed?

Correcting unwanted behavior is done much easier by preventing the behavior before it starts. That also allows more opportunity for positive reinforcement techniques. There are several ways to prevent behavior. Correction before the behavior starts is the goal. The requires close awareness of the dogs body language and actions. The largest block to preventing unwanted behavior---especially when other methods have failed---is how the handler/owner s emotions are during the training. The human has to mask any fear/anticipation/etc. behavior. Simply because the dog has become attuned to such cues and associated those cues as signals as how the dog should behave. You need to start correcting the lab mix when people arrive in the driveway. Your(whomever is handling the dog) needs to adopt the attitude the dog has to obey simply because you say so. That is usually much more difficult to do than to say. I use that technique and have sometimes blown a session simply because I was not paying attention and allowing other things to block my mind. And, it takes time. What to try. When you know someone is pulling into the yard---as the dog hears the visitor, start the corrections that signal his excitement before the visitor gets to the door. A training session with another person acting as the 'visitor' would be great. Because you can make the corrections and allow some time for the behavior to settle---allowing positive reinforcement to happen. That is a double training effort---blocking unwanted and praising acceptable behavior.

I also think it's too big, not too tall, but it does appear to take up a good bit of that middle space between the sinks. You might find that you dont use that space, but only if one of you is right handed and the other is left handed :) not really, but maybe you could give it a test run without anything there, see IF that space get's much action/activity, and if it doesn't then move the orchid back in? just a thought.
