Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore

Okay, guys, I'm not sure I can take this anymore. My roommates have a puppy, and she is a very cute puppy, but she barks nonstop, for hours, whenever she's left alone. Literally, she has been barking for the last four hours, and I just want to go to bed. Augh.

Crate her? Bring her to bed with you? Treat in a kong? Wax earplugs?

It's nice to see you again, Holli, even if you are being driven mad.

Basically, it's a matter of waiting for my roommates to get home. Which they had better do soon.

I have been having... a moderately rough several weeks, I would say. It's soothing to be back here.

Holli, can you get your roommate to consider a bark collar for at night to train the dog not to bark?

That is an excellent question! Upon googling, bark collars look a little too much like something Dr. Walsh would employ for my personal confort, but maybe there's a less operant-conditiony option?

Training the dog not to bark would be another approach.

(Not always that easy, I know. But there are better ways to tackle separation anxiety, which this sounds like.)

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Holli, I know that Aims and MM have/had a squirting one, rather than a shocking one for Ollie.

Yeah, I remember Ollies squirting collar!
