I haven't been able to post since yesterday evening, it keep saying my posts were not long enough even when I wrote really long paragraphs??

One of my neighbours was murdered on Wed by their neighbours. Unbelievable! We are all in shock, as both have lived here like forever.

omg! that was near you! we heard about that yesterday but no one knew if it was a planned thing or if it was a random thing! from the sounds of it then it was a planned thing thats horrible! I thought they said it was in wellington though?! or that was what my dad was told

Nope it was on my road. Jeff was mowing his lawn and the other neighbour got in his car and ran him down. Just so terrible.

Thanks for all the words.

bg so sorry to hear about your friends cat. I would have punched those West Jet people. She should go to the media.

So remember my friend who gave her brother a kidney of hers? Spoke to her and even though the doctors said they will be in the hospital for 2 weeks, the were released after 5 days. They wanted to come home, the brother is doing amazingly...apparently prior to surgery his kidney was only functioning at like 10% and he was having it flushed or something everyday for 10hrs. She is doing well, alot more pain than her brother as her body is learning to adjust with only one kidney. What a trooper!! She is 27 and her brother is like 24, so they are young and will recover I am sure without any problems.

Tick, any reason why? Did they hate each other from before ? I don't get it

[haunish]

That is horrible! I'm quite happy living in the boonies TYVM...even with this cruddy dial up. About a month ago, two neighbors not far from here were at odds with each other...over what I have no idea. The one neighbor got into the others garage and trashed his two vehicles and lit the garage on fire, which was attached to the house, during the night. Thankfully the family got out in time!

Also I have to agree, the media would be one of the best places to go to, although she may still want to consult with a lawyer first to cover her butt.

That is good news! I hope their recovery continues to progress positively.

damnedifiknow - tick is out in the boonies!!!!! so am i LOL

Andit ..at the moment I am trying to teach her to go outside and sit would be nice..lol..she was doing great then had one accident in the house(pooped in corner) and now cant get her to poop back outside again..
I have never had a puppy so I really have no clue what I am doing at all..lol.she likes to jump at people..I know she is a pup..but would like to get that stopped as well. so when meeting someone she is not jumping all over them...shes also big on nipping I got her some chew bones, but not really sure what I should be working on at this moment..since she is 9 weeks

Treat her like you would a 9month old human baby - short bits of learning & lots of naps.

Take 1/4 of her breakfast kibble & use it to teach her to sit. Hold a piece of kibble in front of her nose. Slowly move it upwards & towards her eyes - she'll likely sit back. The second she sits, pop the kibble in her mouth & say YES (high pitch) & Good Sit. Shouldn't take too long before she figure out what Sit means.

Oh & be forewarned, once she hits puberty (between 8 months & 1 year), she'll forget everything she knows, always at the most inconvenient times. It's called being a teenager.

As for housetraining, take her out every hour or so during the day (or whenever she gets that look). When she's almost finished doing what she has to do, tell her Good Girl (in a soft voice) & give her a cookie when she finishes. You should also think of a word that you want to mean go to the bathroom (comes in handy on cold winter days when you really don't want to spend hours outside). My dog's command is vay-say (bathroom in Hungarian). The best one I've heard is a guide dog I know whose command is Empty.

One other thing to work on now is to get her used to you putting your hands all over her. Put some peanut butter or canned dog food on a spoon - while she licks it off, play with her paws. She's a bit young yet to have her nails clipped, but if you get her used to being held & having the clippers against her paws, you'll save yourself a lot of aggravation later.

Also, get her used to having her ears checked over & her mouth opened. Get a small piece of gauze, wrap it around your finger, & wipe her teeth gently. If you brush her teeth regularly, it will save you $ and stress later from having to take her to the vet to have it done.

Good luck! I'm sooo jealous.

That's horrible! You just never know about some people. Sending prayers for you & your neighbours.

[Coupon Nut]

Thank you all for the words..I gave rep where I could or should say where I was allowed.
Once again I want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for your votes to help my friend. When I told her I had posted it to the board, she was very appreciative.
This is what she said to tell you all:
"OMG!! Thank y'all soo much!! give them hugs for me and tell them I really appriciate it!"

[Jettred]

That's terrible Tick, it's bad enough that people kill one another, but when it's in your neighborhood, that's really scary.
