One of my biggest pet peeves...people who let their dogs bark all the time. I have no idea why people like that even want to have a dog.

Tricia - This will be my third boy. I'm not sure I would know what to do with a girl if I had one. LOL! Liam, my four year old, has been my gardening buddy since he was a baby. Now that he is four he likes to know names of all the plants, why worms are good for the soil, etc. It amazes me how much he wants to know. We were able to get his garden planted this morning. It consists of white Cosmos, two varieties of Marigolds, Dusty Miller and a pink flowering succulant - all of which he picked out. I'll take pictures of his garden after it fills in (and provided that devil of a dog we own doesn't dig it up!). Heather

Last call. (My post was on page 67 and going to disappear after today so I am tackily bumping it.) signed, kitchen"tacky"kelly (who loves an anonymous board like this because no one knows who this tacky person is!) Oh, well. Off to see if my photo has been dropped off the home decor board. (Note to self: Don't post your pic on boards if you want to be anonymous and tacky.)

Ho yes, the first couple of nights!! She is from working sheepdog stock from Wales...but the idea of pedigree is laughable. Nonetheless, she is smart. After 9 days, she has got the hang of a dog flap to outside, where she goes to poo (although weeing is still an indoor newspaper number) and we tend to let her romp about the house with a choice of sofas and the end of the bed. Naturally, I tried leaving her downstairs but the heartbreaking whining just seemed wrong for a baby...although I spent several nights on one of the sofas myself. I fear the garden is doomed - it will be almost a month before all her vaccinations allow us to go for walks and by then, watching the gleeful destruction of an agapanthus and a geum yanked out of the beds, I expect a lunar landscape of devastation, especially since she is keen on that sheepdog thing of caching stuff (for later delectation, the muddier, the better). All socks are fair game, including ones stolen from the laundry bin...yep, it is all coming back to me. She knows her name and (more or less) comes when called and it only seems to take a couple of repetitions for stuff to penetrate her little canine brain, so the potential is all there - it is up to us to enable her to utilise it. Forgive the excited waffling, I am knackered and slightly hysterical.

Ali, thanks everyone for the warm welcome. We go to the vet today to get all her paper work in our name. We use the same vet, so no big deal. We are going to have a lot of fun with her. I went thru all her paper work last evening. They adopted her from the shelter when she was 13 months old & had her for 6 years. So she is 7 years old. And as for training she knows her name & is house broke plus guards the beer.

Drives me up the wall when Toby is outside, and he'll bark when he wants in. I might be in the bathroom, or in the middle of doing something, and he'll let out 1 yap. I let him in right away, or at least by the 2nd or 3rd. Neighbors have a small dog that is outside all summer, yapping. This one is luckier though than their last one. It lived in a pen, in a low area that was surrounded water 2/3rds of the time. Humane Society took it.

The only trouble we ever had w/ a neighbor was over a barking dog. It is just so rude to let a dog bother other people. It will never happen w/ our dog. Of course, he only goes out to potty. Where we live now, the lots are so big if a neighbor's dog barked we probably wouldn't hear it.

CR,do you live out in the country?? I ask because you have so many dogs,and where i live(own my own home,no HOA's etc) we're not allowed to have that many,and it's a good thing,as far as i'm concerned.

I don't have any animals now,but that hasn't always been the case.I gave my son his dog back last year,and decided then i didn't want anymore.Easy decision for me as dh didn't want most of the ones we had,so he's a happy camper now.LOL
