Jay, coming through Guymon tomorrow (Thurs) night
Comments (5)Got to meet Scott last evening. Got 30 pounds of great pecans. I've been snacking on them ever since. I stopped by my sister's and she had to sample them. She said they tasted way better than the ones she had bought recently. Shared some with my coworkers today. Will be taking some to a few of them after I bag them up. It is hard to find fresh, great tasting pecans in this area....See MoreHow did y'all fare through the night?
Comments (14)We got another 2 tenths plus which put us over an inch since it started. Again more around us. Just on the edge. I've thankful for what we've received this year. A big improvement over last year. I looked at the totals at sites within 20-30 miles of here since the first of the year. From 4.69 to 12 inches plus. Not a lot of miles can make a big difference. The heat will be hitting again tomorrow for at least a few days. Hopefully some more will be on the way before this is all gone. Just thankful that most of the hail has missed us. I went to Liberal today. Saw wheat field ruined by the hail and some fields with lot of rain and wind where it is all down. Some corn fields have lots areas where the corn is laying over. The corn will straighten up. The wheat won't. Jay...See MoreTwas the night before Christmas and all through the kitchen;
Comments (16)What a delightful rendition ...... ;-) It's been awhile since I've had a crowd in. Take Mario Batali's advice and wear Crock's, and my advice -- do as much ahead as possible. We had our low-keyed Christmas and our granddaughter's 18th birthday celebration in Tennessee. Left on Friday and got back last night to 13-inchs of snow, and wonderful neighbors who had our drive cleared by the time we got back. I think we'll be clearing their drive the rest of the winter to pay them back :-). Our son has the flu, so we'll hopefully see him for New Year's Day and hold off on Christmas Dinner until then. Since we'll be free on Christmas Day, we'll volunteer at the annual FREE Christmas Dinner a friend of my parents has done for the community for 30-years, and deliver meals to shut-ins. With all this snow, there is sure to be more requests for deliveries than normal. You just never know how things will turn out, do you :?) Merry Christmas everyone. -Grainlady...See MoreHow to get a puppy to sleep through the night
Comments (17)OK, my advice is going to be a bit different than some of the others, but you have to figure out what works for you and your dog. When our dog was a pup we put her crate downstairs in the main living area. Our bedrooms are upstairs. I did this so that we would not wake up and be tempted to positively reinforce crying or whining unless it was loud enough to really mean something. I have a pug, and they have small bladders, so in the beginning I set my alarm for 2:00 am and got up to let her out to potty ONLY. No play, no cuddling, etc. Just potty, back to crate with a small treat. This method worked wonders. She only cried a bit for two nights. After that, she learned to cry only when she had to go and we were able to move the crate into DS's room at night. Now that she is trained she sleeps in DS's bed. I think if you put the crate in your room and speak to the puppy or pet him when he cries, that is still reinforcing the behavior and you are likely to have to deal with it longer. And quirkyquerces is, of course, right about making the crate Disneyland. We taught our dog the "crate" command by tossing her a treat every time she went in. Being a food-driven pug, she learned to zoom for that crate pretty quick. She still does it and it cracks up our friends. Just don't put lots of gooey treats in at night or you may find a mess in the morning. Perhaps a safe, tasty chewy of some kind, like a nylabone, to keep her occupied? Also, it sounds like your crate is a too big for a pup. They feel more secure in a smaller space and they are less likely to soil a smaller crate as well. A rule of thumb is that it should only be large enough for them to stand up, lie down and turn around fully. You can decrease the size temporarily by putting a wooden box in the back of the crate to take up some of the space. Good luck!...See Morebpath
