It's official the lead terrorist has graduated....

[mauisun]

ok so here it is, Coco, the head terrorist in our cell at home has graduated from puppy obedience training. we even have a certificate from pets mart to prove it. lol, yeah right!!! the kittens have been pulling loaves of bread off the top of the fridge, tearing them up and happily munch on the soft innards. osama Bin Puppy, I mean Coco, fresh from graduate training has discovered, through aforementioned training, that if you knock the lid off the trash can in the kitchen a whole world of goodies await inside.
Ok, expect some phones to ring out there, she is sleeping right now and I am sure when she awakens she will be contacting the cells in your homes too

We got a new family member also, his name is Chance and he is a gray Schnauzer. Kinda looks like me with his gray hair and white mustache.

This guy is six years old and a real gentleman around the house. He tells us when its time for him to go outside, is a real lover and stays out of everything.

When you take him outside though you have to either stay with him or put him on the chain. If not ... he's down the dirt road and can really cover some ground fast! As we found out.

Overall, he's so well behaved that he's going to be a lot of fun and some good company for us.

I thought that my cat was the only one in the world who would dissect loaves of bread!!! It got to where I couldn't buy bread because he would gnaw through the package and "nibble"! The rest would go stale. (He figured out how to get in my cabinets to get to it.) Finally, I started keeping all bread in the fridge or freezer. It seems to "go stale" in the fridge, but I just microwave a couple of slices at a time for 20 seconds. (or I toast it.) NOTE: if I try to give him a little bread, he won't eat it. He just loves the challenge.

Oh, T! That is so great that you have adopted an older dog! I am all about rescue and adoption of the animals that we already have in shelters and rescues. I knew that you had a huge heart!

 

[salemgold]

Hey David, you may need Cesear Milan with that crew! lol I swear that the Dog Whisperer was a dog in a former life.

 

[mauisun]

Truly, Coco isn't so much of a terrorist anymore. She does steal socks and toys and chews and is ripping up the glider that's outside and digs holes like you wouldn't believe and won't be housebroken so we step in pee.... Wait, I guess I need to re-evaluate that. However, the kittens on the other hand are truly misch-iee-vious. They steal socks and chew holes in them, but of course, only one at a time and with no other match. Kink dive bombs the other cats. Dante has chewed through the plastic of two loaves of bread and decimated the loaves. One of them ate through three layers of plastic to eat puppy training treats and one of them pees on our newspapers. So they must be in cahoots! Then again, I also have to live with David, so....
Pam
(yes, I'm still here just really busy keeping up with everyone!)

 

[salemgold]

Sheesh, Pam it does sound like your work is cut out! With all of those animals, 7 children and David too? How do you do it? lol

 

[mauisun]

Now you know why I'm not on here a whole lot! David wanted me to come in under his name and post really quickly!

[salemgold]

Don't worry, we do understand.

And you thought I was just another pretty face ...

Actually, I was blamed for a lot of the things Max, our Yorky, did around the house, so now I'll probably get blamed for twice as much.

I know how poor David must feel.

When I was younger, I was into Pedigrees, I guess I didn't understand how bad it was for them back than. Now I'm about the rescue. I can't stand it seeing them in the cages, pleading to come out. I wish I had the money and means to adopt them all. That SPCA commercial really reaps havoc on me.

Me too! I have to change the chanel when it comes on or I will be in tears!

 

[tgcrna]

I'm the worlds worst about taking in strays, too! I love all animals. One of my kid's teachers sent out an email that she had a 10-wk-old puppy (mostly boxer) Thur, saying that if she didn't find a good home for it by Saturday (past) that she was taking it to the shelter. I had some "issues" come up Thur night so didn't get to follow up, although I asked a couple of people if they wanted it. So I'm going to contact the teacher today and find out if she still has it. If so, anybody want a Boxer (mostly) puppy???? I really hope she didn't take it to the shelter! Even though I don't need/want another dog, I'll take it if it means keeping it out of the pound!

 

[tgcrna]

Good news! The teacher found a good home for the puppy!

 

[div]

Good news on the puppy geting a home tg.
but goodness gracious Pam, you have your hands full with Coco...and so sweet of the kitties to help with the chaos,lol.
My seneca used to do that with the socks...she really had a thing with them, and yep, socks didn't up either. We had lots of rags for a while, but she grew out of it.
Really would love to get another puppy, but I don't think hubby is ready yet.

 

[mauisun]

I'm certainly not ready for anymore! I've got my hands full
Pam

 

[div]

I just need one Pam. Still have my daughters dog here, and she's big, and lovable (VERY) and she thinks she a minature size (she is NOT)....but would love a puppy for me. Maybe it's too soon, cuz I know for sure if I had one tomorrow I would spoil that dog rotten.

When my daughter and I went to the SPCA and got Sparky, I couldn't believe how many Pitbull mixes there were. They are one of most abused and neglected dogs and the shelters are full of them. I had a Lab/Pit mix when I was married and she was one of the sweetest, most gentle dogs. It broke my heart!

 

[son et lumiere]

Thats way cool David. I'll vape to that.

I had a house that burned down one time.

My ex-wife got out.

My dog didn't.

I liked that dog.
