Does she have some sort of treat that she likes?

Tried that. She ate like a small Nubian Troll, but there's food left in the bowl and she started rejecting snacks, so I think she's over the binging stage.

You might trying taking her out of the room with the door, too.

The rooms all interconnect execpt for a small, clastrophobic bathroom, and the bedroom that has nearly zero floor space.

I might suggest a walk, but especially with a larger dog, I'd be leery of doing that in case she managed to get away.

My dog, Jay, once managed to drag a 160 pound dog walker over twelve feet of pavement to smell the cool looking bush. Needless to say, I can handle big dogs, and I will never have a dog walker again.

Daisy, whom I've known from a puppy, has stayed over about three to eight weeks with me, every year of her life. She's refusing to play with Kay. She's sulking every where, and this is the first time she has ever been so depressed in such a soft peroid of time. Do you guys think a round of Fetch would work? Daisy is such a dear, and I do want to cheer her up.

She's so much better behaved than Yinnie, the other dog I dog sit. Yinnie steals panties.

I'd be hard pressed to name dating norms. I know of dating hearsay, and dating cliche's, but I'm probably oblivious to "norms."

My sister's Saint Bernard (I call him "The Pony") eats my niece's panties. They find them later (much later) in the yard. Along with the... you know where I'm going with this.

I'm shrift when it comes to the dating. Why bother, argh. Too much like work. Also, I'm a control freak and other people's responses are outside my control.

But shrift needs to know that her job skills are legion, and she deserves far more than she gets in props or cash.

And I'm stupid and there's no WAY I'm getting this report out tomorrow. I'm doomed.

Do the "dating not worth it" people know about quirkyalone?

Ok, in that case, my next step would be to say "would you just get the hell over it already?" Hey, sometimes that shit works.

Brenda, and I forget who else helped me, the package containing the 12 Days of Christmas glasses for my mother arrived in New Orleans today. She's thrilled, and they're exactly the same as the ones she lost. Thanks so much.

"If he could have written a way to go out, this would be it," said Johnny D Masters, who was bowling with Lorenz.

Aw. That's good to read, Dana.

I wish I had dog advice. My brother's inlaws brought along their small yappy bitch mop dog and the HUGEST german shepard I've ever seen. He was a total baby, though. He's 2, so still a puppy, but really well behaved, if unaware he's the size of a small horse. Something about my brother makes him get all excited and start barking for play, though. That was a little annoying. And the fact that my nephew covered his face whenever the gs was in the room (tail protection.)

I've just seen the first two eps of Skating with Celebrities. Kristy Swanson is in it, which is neat b/c of the Buffy-skating thing, and Dave Coulier/Nancy Kerrigan are the Cutting Edge couple. He even has toepick problems. It's so cute.
