Anybody ever ship computer hardware to Canada? It's a loan, not a purchase and we're trying to figure out how not to get screwed in Customs. To make it even more fun, it's between gov't agencies of 2 different gov'ts! Oh, we are so screwed.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

It needs no explanation, the Pets' Observation Poodle from Hammacher Schlemmer. Nine inches wide and 5" deep, it gives "the inquisitive canine," which is cataloguese for "dog," a panoramic view of things at which to bark.
Hammacher Schlemmer suggests lining several of these $30 domes around the perimeter of your yard, to allow your pet an unrestricted view of interesting places it cannot go.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Really-- it needs no explanation? Because I am pretty sure if I saw a fence lined with those things, I would want an explanation!

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Because "running out of things to bark at" is major quality-of-life issue for dogs. It's not like they can just bark at the wall when they're bored - oh wait.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh, we are so screwed.
Sounds like.
I have to admit, I am too much of a cheapskate to buy a cloth bag. All of mine have been free.
Me too. AND I forget to carry them! Ah well. I hate the earth.

Supposedly, the guy know a guy who'll tell us what to put on the paperwork. But he hasn't gotten back to me.

Ah well. I hate the earth.
Then why don't you just go and live someplace else?

Wordy McWordson. One of the things that causes dogs to suffer in the day to day periods when they must be alone is TOO MUCH STIMULUS. With no reason to bark, most of the time, they sleep!
Yes, boredom is a problem when a dog has been trained to expect stimulus or when they aren't tired out enough through exercise.
My number one tip for pooches who get over stressed at home is to limit their range. If a crate isn't possible, shade the windows and give them a nice place to snooze.
Jeez. I can see the frustration of dogs (like the hyper-breed Jack Russell shown in that ad) who are over stimulated with no outlet turning into aggression.

This is me...loads of gimme conference bags, mostly canvas. I did, however, just put them downstairs in a spot by the door that I hope will make me more likely to grab one when I go out.
