Today I went to the Dollar tree to get some buckets, and detoured down the "Pet" aisle...
There they were...
...those little doggie antlers!

Me---->

I haven't tried putting them on him yet.....

Cindy

You better wear some heavy thick gloves!

Did you put them on him yet?

G-Mom

Cindy,
Can you pet the dog????
Without him biting you???

Weezie

I just WALKED PAST him to get to the computer, and he bit me!
He's a FREAK!

I'm telling you, he needs drugs!

Cindy

Cindy,

I've successfully used a Bach flower essence called "Rescue Remedy" on stressed out or emotionally disturbed pets (and on me, too! ). It is harmless and, although perhaps not as entertaining as drugs (I had a cat prescribed valium once - he fell off the top of the TV! ), it is effective. Most health food stores carry it.

O.K....first we need to hear about why the cat was prescribed Valium! I need all the entertainment I can get right now!
Especially if it involves somebody ELSE'S emotionally disturbed pet!

Did the "Rescue Remedy" work?
For the pet?
For you?

Cindy

The cat was prescribed valium for FUS (Feline Urological Syndrome) for a few days. According to the vet, it relaxed the ureters so things could flow easier.

I've used Rescue Remedy for everything from moves (my cat had a psychotic break over that one - NOT a pretty sight!) to getting my dog to chill when he's yappy. (That's usually when I take it too!!! ).

Rescue Remedy

And yes, Cindy, my pets ARE emotionally disturbed...Tiddleywinks's, the dog, (I know, I know, how can he NOT be disturbed with that name )favorite pastime is humping the cat - and the cat likes it!!!

O.K. This proves I am not the only one out here who has some WEIRD animals!



Cindy

Maybe YOU need Rescue Remedy, Cindy!

O.K.!
I think I've got this posting under control now!
After 5000+ posts you'd think I'd learn when to push the button!
To hell with the dog...
I want the "Rescue Remedy" for Cindy!

Cindy

No, Cindy, you are not the only one with weird animals!!!

I could tell you TONS of stories - like the morning I had a dream that 26 turkeys were staring at me through my open patio door. When they started walking into the house, I realized it WASN'T A DREAM!!

I was going to post a pic but don't know how.

OMG!
I have a HERD of wild turkeys that stay in a horse pasture down the road...
Now I'm going to have turkey nightmares!

Cindy

no, you are not alone.

I love that part on the new Garfield movie where he tells Odie, "down dumb dog"

okay back on track here. My dog I think is so dumb, she hates a bath, but yet it just seems like she'll go out and try and get as nasty as she can. And I can't tell you haw many times she has chewed up and ate. (yes, not only does she have to chew it up, but she actuall eats it) Like we never feed her. And if there's a stray dog in the yard and I let her out instead of running the other dog off (which to me would be her job) she runs out and sniffs it's butt. She chases the cat (I have 10 cats but she only chases one) the black cat. Like she doesn't know she's black too. The rest she doesn't chase.

I could go on and on

we were teaching Ashley to play baseball this summer, you see who ended up with the toy

Sorry I'm laughing, Belinda, but that's funny!

And, butt sniffing?
Well, that's socially acceptable in the dog world!
It's just a dog doin' a dog thang!

Cindy

one of her favorite things to do is go roll in the mud after she's had a bath, she won't do it when it's cold, but when it's warm weather, she'll come back to the house looking like a pig.

I'll have to get y'all a picture of that. I could kill her when she does that right after she's dried from a bath. And she's so big she's like bathing a cow.

Fortunately, Freckles didn't do that after a bath...
...because he was completely knocked unconscious by the vet for his grooming!

I could have KNOCKED him unconscious last night!
It was about midnight, I was fixing to go to bed, walked in the kitchen to get a bottle of water and he attacked me like a pit bull! I didn't realize that he was guarding a bag of Cat Chow (again!). I grabbed the cat chow to defend myself with, and he ripped it to shreds, spilling 10 lbs. of cat food all over the place. I was going to take a picture of the disaster this morning (yes, I left it there all night!), but Andy had most of it cleaned up before I got up!
(Hey...it's HIS dog!)

Cindy

that's what I tell hubby when she's whinning to go out at 2am, "she's your dog"

she was really cute as a puppy. She was a shy puppy. Wonder what happened?

Last night Leslie (shamrock316) came over, and unfortunately got to witness H
He attacks me if I get too close to something he's guarding...something that I gave him in the first place! You'd think even a dog would have enough sense to know that the person who gives them the toy isn't going to take it back away from them!
Or, not...I don't know.
It's getting pretty frustrating, not to mention dangerous around here. Thursday when Brennan was here after school, Freckles got in the house while we were coming in the door. It took me an hour to get him out, and poor Brennan was on the dining room table the whole time!

I'm going to the vet this afternoon to see about getting some "doggie downers" for him. Leslie said my other cousin, who I don't see very much, had a dog that acted like Freckles, and she got some prozac-like drug from the vet to give him, and he was fine after that.

I hope it works.

Cindy

Gee, Cindy...I'm sorry it's not getting any better!

Definitely look into th rescue remedy, I totally forgot about it! We have used it several times on horses, and it has made a huge difference for me...

Umm, Cindy? Did you send some kind of destructive vibes to my dogs?

Messy dogs...
