That sucks that she is being so dilusional, Holly. Hopefully your FI will straighten her out.

MyUserName1 · February 2012

I hate it when the people get all caught up in the color of the room.

IGNORE THE COLOR dumbass, you can re-paint.

ArynBaker · February 2012

I would love a pool in my backyard too, but it would never be a deal breaker.

Holly, I feel ya on the MIL trouble. Mine still has not sent a guest list and we sent out STDs a month ago. FI talked to her about it the other day and she insisted she'd sent the list with addresses forever ago and that FI must just not be seeing it in his inbox. She didn't save the list or email and got all huffy puffy about having to re-do it. At this rate her side will not be getting STDs at all.

A pool will be a nice addition if I have one later in life, but they are also a PITA. My parents have one and I grew up with it. I loved it but I didn't do much maintenance, my dad did. I only had to vacuum it. He had to continuously refill it, put the chemicals in, clean it every spring, drain it every fall, etc.

MIL was actually not bad at all during planning. She has her faults but none of them surfaced during wedding planning. Which, by the way, I'm still forgetting that I don't have to do. Now all I have left to do is give my BMs and MOH their thank you gifts.

ArynBaker · February 2012

Wow that sucks Holly. I would be really upset if someone was trying to add people to the guest list so close to the wedding.

ErinG93 · February 2012

My mom was the ridiculous guest-adder for my wedding. My MIL was the normal person.

musicalsunlight · February 2012

That is really frustrating, Holly. My mom snuck in friends at the last minute so that they would help her set up and tear down (my mom was the purse and the event planner for my wedding). I was ok with it because she was paying. If she wasn't, I would've been less than thrilled.

ArynBaker · February 2012

For me it's been my Grandmother. She insisted we invite second cousins, some of whom I don't remember ever meeting. Although after receiving a STD, one of them is letting us stay at her timeshare for our HM so that's pretty awesome.

mica178 · February 2012

Totally random: H and I are watching PBS, and someone I used to know in medical school is hosting the program. He stayed in my apartment in medical school, and he's the person who convinced me to leave my latest ex. Huh.

musicalsunlight · February 2012

That is weird/interesting, Mica. I had one of those moments the other day when a classmate that I danced with was the main actor in a chapstick commercial.

mica178 · February 2012

Yup, the last time I saw him, he had the "come to Jesus" talk with me. Three months later, I started dating H.

musicalsunlight · February 2012

Happy sleepy puppies? I haz one tonight:

ErinG93 · February 2012

Mica, is your H a doctor as well? That's crazy that someone you know from medical school is on the show you're watching.

ArynBaker · February 2012

What a pretty dog Musi!

musicalsunlight · February 2012

Thanks Aryn. She knows she is too cute when she looks like that. Because I proceed to coo at her and kiss her little head a million times.

musicalsunlight · February 2012

Tory is willing to play with any knottie puppies.

She gets cute cards from X in Mississippi. AND she got treats from Ninja in Portland for the Food Swap.

[QUOTE]Awww Musu. I thought Shadow would be more tired tonight, as he got a good walk, and then I played with him for a while (which involves running around the house like a crazy dog). He's still awake, though, and chewing on a rawhide.
Posted by Holly4212011[/QUOTE]

I don't know if you remember me talking about that dog down the street from me that is/was always chained up without and shelter but I realized that he also totally tugs on my heartstrings because he looks exactly like Shadow.

ErinG93 · February 2012

Fox has been wild tonight. He did fall asleep sitting up earlier this evening, which was pretty damn funny. I want Tory, she's so pretty.

musicalsunlight · February 2012

Erin I am imagining Tory and Fox running and playing in that field in your sig pic. It makes me smile.

mica178 · February 2012

Yup, H is a doctor too. We met in training.

musicalsunlight · February 2012

I can see why she might feel badly that she doesn't get one for her mom, but if there wasn't a positive relationship there, I can understand why you wouldn't have one.

ErinG93 · February 2012

Fox looooves to run. I took him out there last Sunday and I don't know where even goes. He was gone for maybe 1/2 hour and when he came back he zipped into the house and promptly fell asleep. I'm sure he was miles away.

[QUOTE]Awww, Musu. That poor dog. Has anything changed with him, or is he still chained up outside all the time?
Posted by Holly4212011[/QUOTE]

After the sheriff went to visit their house, they started using one of their hunting dog houses for a shelter for him. So if it is late at night, I see his chain leading into the dog house. Which makes me happy I guess, but it just tears me up that he is just a dog on a chain all day long. I wish I could do more but technically as long as he has some shelter and they are feeding him, there isn't anything against the law. I just feel so terrible that a lab/golden mix like him who is MEANT to be with people all the time, just gets neglected. I don't get why one would have a dog just to keep it on a chain all day and night.

ArynBaker · February 2012

Holly, where are you getting the special candles? I was thinking about doing one for my great-grandmother. I also thought about doing one for FI's brother but he doesn't seem to want to.

Posted by ErinG93[/QUOTE]

I doubt it. I think they had the dog houses from prior dogs or something. There is no way that this dog could be a hunting dog. You can't keep a dog on a chain 24/7 and have it be a hunting dog. A hunting dog needs to be trained from a very very young age to fetch/retrieve, obey certain commands, and exercise a lot. This poor pup would not be physically fit for that, nor does it likely know any commands.

ErinG93 · February 2012

Musical, That's what I thought. Plus I would think in order for a dog to be a good hunting dog he would need to have owners he trusted and loved.

ArynBaker · February 2012

Thanks for sharing those Chrissy! I always feel a little guilty buying the dogs raw hides but I wouldn't think twice about giving them sweet potato chips!

We have a few dogs around our place that are kept outside all the time. One of them is kept in a small pen. He has shelter but it's only twice his length so he just paces around and barks. It's really sad.
