It's 9:52AM do you know where your morning thread is?

kd.joseph · August 2012

Morning ladies!

Lets wake this place up! I see the campaign thread was still going strong late last night, Thanks Blue!

It's Friday and I cant wait to get out of here and get some things done this weekend.

I need some dog advice. Atticus suddenly has started pooing in the house again, it seems to have started when we brought him home from Camp Bow Wow, and we cant seem to break him of it. He'll go outside walk around, pee, and then act like he's done. Within minutes of going back in the house he poos on the floor. Any suggestions?

I have no dog bathrooming suggestions other than: When my last dog had a similar problem I would throw a stick for her until all the running made her have to go.

Morning! I'm shopping for ridiculously fun, vaguely unnecessary, hiking gear. Dang my "always be prepared" mentality. But at least the shopping is fun! I can't let my H help or he'll make fun of me. Yes, it's useful stuff I'm shopping for, but I want the pretty one. Always.

Im super pissed. Ive been on call at work for the last 3 weeks and I have gotten called in every single time. Last week I had to hostess and today I have to be the take-out cashier. These are jobs that the high school kids do for $8 an hour and Im not happy to waste a beautiful Friday sitting in a sweatbox just to make $40 before taxes.

So thats my rant. I want to be swimming in my pool. Wah.

Well Blue those 18 year olds think it's a beautiful day too! ;) It's seems to me that they dont have very dependable workers if you are getting called in every Friday, doesnt your bosses see a theme here?

Anna- Thanks, most the time it's in the morning and husband is trying to get around.
Have fun shopping!

My dog does this from time to time, usually when I don't have time to walk him right after work and we are leaving. My suggestion would be to take him out to pee, let him in and reward him with a small treat, and take him right back out. I've found that my dog doesn't tend to both pee and poo in the same outing, so letting him right back out after he's rewarded usually does the trick.

Hmmm....good idea! He's only 6 months old so he is still learning. But he spent a week at Camp Bow Wow and there they kinda let them go where ever, KWIM? But he lets us know when he has to pee., H thinks he gets so distracted in the yard that he forgets he has to poop till he gets in the house.

slthomas611 · August 2012

Good Morning!

I was going to start a thread and then poof the GM thread was here! Not much going on here today, cleaning and I have to go to the grocery store to get little things for dinner.

Sorry KD I don't have any hints for Atticus, but I hope things get settled soon

DisneyAsh · August 2012

Morning from a newbie.

Stuck in bed today with a terrible cold. But I have my laptop, so it could be worse!

texasgurly13 · August 2012

Morning!

No exciting plans for the weekend here. H has to work all weekend. Boo. My parents are coming up tomorrow to look at the gifts we got for the wedding. My mom originally wanted to come up last night to watch us open them (H was supposed to be off, and we were going to do it during the day), but I told her that we would rather them wait until the weekend.

Texas! Congrats, are you going to AW your pictures?

Welcome Disney, sorry about the cold, we have several people in the office sick right now. Feel better!

I've got a suggestion...although my pup doesn't poop inside anymore! THANK-GOD!
When Bella (my pup) doesn't poop when she needs too I tend to chase her around. My neighbours must think I'm nuts. lol
Litterly we're running around the yard...me chasing her and her chasing me. It get's her bowls moving and eventially she's ready to GO! I'd suggest that and see if it works!

As for work....I missed a few days of work because I was sick and I've felt like I've been drowning in paper work all day, but I finally feel like I'm treading water now! *PHEW*

[QUOTE]Morning All. We had another big rain & thunderstorm most of the night, so things are ugly looking outside today. Still raining. Oh well, at least we didn't have to turn the sprinklers on today. Was woken up by a phone call from my cousin that my "extra" grandparent (he's actually my great-uncle, but I used to spend summers with them etc) is dying this weekend. Not a great way to start the day, but not totally unexpected. So, to soothe myself, I'm making cookies. Peanut butter cookies, since these ones won't be going to school with us. KD, that sounds annoying. I have no advice for you though, I've never had a dog, and MILs dogs are not the best trained ;) Blue, I would rather swim than make almost no money too.

AW Jesse I'm so sorry. Thoughts and Prayers to you and your family! {{hugs}}

cnf2013 · August 2012

Morning! I'm leaving work in like half an hour. I have over time to use up, so I'm taking the afternoon off with it!

KD, I second the running around thing. Griswold will act like he doesn't have to poop, but a few minutes of playing and running all over the back yard loosens him right up. He had a pee accident in our room the other night. Very out of character for him.

[QUOTE]Jess I'm sorry to hear about your uncle. Hugs to you and yours. These are all tips I'm going o try too. My Maltese sucks at going outside. She so hit and miss. Very frustrating. Yesterday was crazy busy at work and today probably will be too. This weekend I have to get my ass over to Michaels so I can decide if I am really going to do these DIY wedding things or not. I'm starting to think not.

What DIY projects are you thinking of doing?

Girlie1030 · August 2012

I'm so sorry Jesse.

KD, sounds like Atticus just needs to get back into the home routine. If you stay out with him while he does his "business" I've been told to not encourage the dog but rather act bored (yawn, hum). It worked on my Dobie when I couldn't get her to go on a leash when we had to live in apartment for a while.

I think we have a pretty quiet weekend ahead. May try and talk the H into going out for dinner tomorrow night - I've been craving Mexican but don't feel like cooking it.

Yeah, we take him out on a leash when it's time for him to do his business. And believe me I dont have to ACT bored ;) He only goes on the run when we are playing or we are on the deck with him.

Elle1036 · August 2012

kd - Do you guys crate train? Sometimes when I take my dog out, he spends hours sniffing around, then decides he can't find a good spot and walks back toward the house without doing anything even though I know he needs to go. When that happens, I bring him back in, shut him in his crate for a few minutes while I do something else, then try again. He usually gets to business pretty quickly then.

This makes sense Elle, thanks! Yes, when H takes him out first thing he does the exact same thing. He brings him back in feeds him, than after a bit we find the surprise. So, I told him of PP's idea of taking him out to pee, then giving him a treat and heading back out.

I think we've decided to take him out, pee, feed him, then crate for a bit then back out again. We are also going to start bell training.

kd.joseph · August 2012

I love all of it, but I would go with what I think I can get done, then pick those things. This way you dont stress.

You know you need table numbers so that might be priority.
