Hey, i will be on the west side twice in August. Would like to maybe meet up briefly if the moon and sun align. Probably won't bring Arnold and Bertha because my mom and sister both have mean dogs and I have nowhere to keep them safe and happy. My half sister I have never met is coming into town on 8/8 and then we are coming back into town for Motley crue.
I thought of you yesterday! I work in an alzheimers community and we had planted some spinach in some raised beds. Myself and another gal went out to pick it cause it was more than ready...we brought it in the building and tossed it in the sink to wash....all of a sudden I saw about a million catipillars crawling out of the spinach!!! We were in hysterics trying to get all these catipillars corralled and off the counters.....they were EVERYWHERE
I was thinking that they were probably sent in by slugs as payment for my enjoyment in your slug antics!
The dog de Bordeaux episode on Dog Whisperer! That's him! That's Aldo! The jump, the look, the nibbling.. Everything! Like I thought I shouldn't label it aggression, it's nothing but excitement! I have missed you around here lately!
Thank you so much for all your help, we are working through our issues, and even though we are only on step one with Aldo, I am losing some of my fear and anxiety mainly because I keep him leashed when not crated when there are people around, so even though it's far from my ideal relationship with him, at least everyone is safe and we get to interact. when there are no kids/visitors he roams and acts good.. We are doing the exercise you suggested and he still hates it, but knows it's coming and submits a tiny bit easier every time.. Thank you so much! I am just so amazed with how great this forum is :D oh, and please Tell Bea that Mr Aldo sends smooches her way..
Oh my, same here, Im crazy for the spotted ears!
I have just been in Oregon for the last 4 yeas, Im originally Brazilian ;-)
But I did mapped... looks FAR! hahaha does it have a better weather than Portland? Im sick of the weather here... I tell my husband all the time I want to move back to the SUN.
Bea and Bo are adorable btw. I want to squeeze their cheeks until they fall!
So we are plucking the slugs....spreading dog hair for the juncos....any other wildlife related things at your place I should know about? I cracked up when I read about outdoor dog hair for the birds! Keep it up girl!!!
