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

brillig

Roof carriers are great for bulky but relatively lightweight things. Like a walker. Though not for dogs.

Our wings are not tired.

I like to have the dog in the front seat. That way I can pack stuff on the floor in front and make a nice bed for her. She is way calmer on a long ride if she is up front and she doesn't bother the driver at all. When she is in back she whines and has her head on my shoulder. I have a strap thingy to hook up the the seat belt for her.

Thanks, Sophia. I'm home with ltc all day and about to turn 40. So it seemed like a good time to finally do it.

A roof carrier sounds like a good idea, Laura. I'm sorry you're good deed is turning into such a pain.

ltc is hysterical and will not go to bed. Please tell me bedtime is not going to be as traumatic as bath time.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

You have my sympathies, sj. Does she usually go to bed without much fuss? If so, then most likely this is just a phase and she'll return to her usual equilibrium eventually. In the meantime, though, I'm sorry you're both having a rough time.

She's usually fairly chill. She doesn't always go right to sleep but she'll sing and talk to herself until she does. Unless she has a diaper and then she'll call for daddy. Tonight she is screaming like someone is trying to kill her. TCG just got home and is trying to put her down now. He usually does bedtime. So, maybe it will help.

She seems to be sleeping. Apparently the problem was lack of daddy.

Glad she is sleeping now!

Awww, my boys alternated Mommy only and Daddy only modes. It was odd for both of us.

Daddy always does bedtime. It's his time with her after a long day at work, but usually she's okay when he's not here. She is doing her usual bedtime tossing and turning now, but she's not screaming.
