Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Yep. Scoop her up and take her out before bed, after she wakes up, right before and after eating... basically any time there's a remote chance she might need it. Even though she's not a puppy, treat her as if she were for housetraining purposes -- in other words, it's better to assume she *does* have to go than to assume she doesn't.

And I'm not sure if you're crate training her, but it's seriously your best friend in housetraining -- a playpen is way too much room for right now; crate her whenever you're not around to supervise and you can move her back up to the playpen as she starts to get a clue.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Does she like to walk? Because exercise will prompt pooping.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I tried a crate. She totally freaked out. She must have some history with them -- I've just got it sitting in the middle of the room now, and when she's wandering around, she won't go near it.

I'm letting her sleep for now, and I'll either take her out or take her to the papers before heading to bed. It doesn't really help that I'm not doing my best today, either -- I got almost no sleep last night, because she was whining, and I've been too stressed out to eat today.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I'm sorry it's been rough. You'll get through it, and hopefully her adorableness is compensating.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I would take her out, because you don't want her getting used to the papers.

Oh, Hil. I was such a freakout new doggy mom when I got Frankie. Just ask bonny about my frantic emails! I hope you both sleep better tonight.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Oh sumi, how stressful.

OK, this time, I caught her just as she was starting to pee, and carried her over to the pad, where she finished. There was no way I would have been able to get her to the door in that amount of time. I also put a pad down in the back corner of the room, because she's peed there twice, and I figure it might protect the carpet.

She also spent about five minutes rolling onto her back and flailing her legs in the air, not in the usual doggy way that she usually does, but kind of spasmish. I don't know what that means.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Epic, much ~ma for your BFF's husband.
