    Just thought I’d share something my dad shared with me.

    OMG!!!!! BC this is hysterical. I near wet myself. I may not actually be from the South but I’ve been here for 13 years so all of it rings true. Her husband coming home with the groceries is just too darn funny. I’m passing it along to all my Southern gal pals. 🙂

    LOL! She’s so cute! I bet she has lots of funny stories to tell. I’ve spent my share of time living in the South as well…, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi. I’ll share that with my parents also. My mom’s an old Southern hall from way back when.

    Well we seem to have survived the California “superstorm” anyway. We were lucky; we had no leaks or power outages. It has been raining on and off today but nothing too bad. Everyone on the East Coast is probably scoffing at California right now for getting so freaked out about rain.

    If they are, they have never lived where wildfires climbed the canyon wall right by your house last year and mud slides are threatening to bury it this year. I’m not the least bit afraid of wind and rain, but a wall of mud and rock is a whole nother kettle of fish.

    I’m glad you and yours are OK.

    We actually haven’t had wildfires in this near my house in a few years, but there are some places that have been rampant with them. It’s been so dry that this summer the fire danger was extremely high. We’ve gotten off to a good start for rain this year, so hopefully it’ll keep up. Yesterday was pretty extreme though.

    People on the East coast don’t realize the devastation that a rain storm after a long draught in Cali can cause. I’ve lived through mud slides before and they are so frightening. They scare me more than the earthquakes ever did.

    I’ll totally agree with Dori! As long as I’m not in the city standing in or under a tall building that is dropping parts, earthquakes are a piece of cake. Mudslides, no way!

    I hope I’m never in a mudslide, I’ve seen pictures of people being crushed by volcano lava and I no longer volcanoes are cool. I’ve been in minor and moderate earthquakes, but I’ve actually never been in a major one (knock on wood again). There were some places that got pretty affected by the storm, I saw a video of people Kayaking in a Safeway parking lot somewhere. Flooding aside, that actually sounds pretty fun!

    I’ve slept through major earthquakes. I started talking in my sleep. “Mooooommmm! Make her stop shaking my bed!” True story!

    Oh gosh, lol. There was a moderate on last summer, but from where we were it was pretty minor. I still woke up though, and I thought I was going crazy, until the next morning I looked it up and realized there had been an earthquake.

    We were washing Lily’s blanket last night, and somehow her Kong Goodie Bone (made from the same material as normal Kongs.) got into the washing machine with it and got waged for two cycles, one of them on hot. It doesn’t seem damaged or anything. Is it still okay to use?

    It will definitely be clean, well, right up until you give it back to her.

    Lol yeah. It actually had a few treats in it, which I took out and then rinsed the thing. I already gave it back to her with another two treats in it, and she spent a full 20 minutes or so trying to work them out. She got one out and little nibbles of the other. Her Goodie Bone and her regular Kong are both puppy versions, left over from when I was fostering senior dogs and wanted something softer on their teeth. I think the different Kongs for different life stages is purely marketing hype, and Lily has barely made a dent in either toy, so I think this “off-label use” is okay.

    I logged onto my email and had a strange set of emails coming from the Homemade Dog Treats thread . There were email alerts from BCnut’s and Dori’s posts yesterday that are no longer visible on the thread, then there were email alerts from what appeared to be posts by a troll with user’s personal information, then there was a post from Dori asking what was going on, all of which are visible in my email but not on the thread. This is scary, what is going on?!

    Dog Obsessed. Dr. Mike is on top of it all and has taken care of the issue. The reason we’re getting the emails that were here is because we clicked on the button down below to be notified of any follow-up replies via email that were added to this thread. Dr. Mike has removed the troll posts. That’s the reason you’re still seeing them on your email but not here. Just delete them and don’t respond to the troll or on this DFA thread about them. If I get anymore I’ll forward them to Dr. Mike as he requested I do last night.

    Today I just have 7 dogs (6 pugs and 1 bulldog) and 7 chickens. Over Thanksgiving week, I had 14 boarding for other people.

    No, it’s not hard to see them go (for me). It’s like kid-sitting! I’ve been fostering for nearly 6 years now and over 260 dogs. I took all three for a holistic check up one year and it was $800 a piece! So, I don’t plan an owning any additional ones. Plus, my first pug is still my favorite.

    Wow, that’s amazing! Do you ever call any of them by a previous dogs name? :p Heck, I get my four mixed up all the time LOL can’t imagine having nearly 300 names going through my head!

    Does whatever agency you work with help with medical and food expenses for your fosters? That’s the biggest thing with me. I would love to foster or raise service dogs later down the down the road, but I suppose it would depend mostly on finances if/when I was able to do it.

    I fostered for about a year before adopting Lily, and I would totally get the names confused when I had close to back-to-back fosters. It was an incredibly challenging and rewarding experience.

    The rescue pays for everything including food if you request it. Since I taxi the pugs around town alot, they’ve also given me gas money. There is also a rescue store sort of local to me (70 miles away) where rescue folks can get food for dirt cheap. I volunteered to drive out there this past weekend to pick up a load to pass out to other fosters. You would need to email me direct for info on that. Somehow I’m really good with the dog names, it’s human people’s names I can’t remember! If I have 10 dogs here, I can remember them all. The bath photo was from several years ago and I can still remember 3 out 5 fosters’ names without looking them up – Harley David, Victor Newman and Lulu. I keep photo albums of all the fosters.

    Lol well he gets one tomorrow! He already ate his ground pork tonight :p Usually it’s the cat I have to worry about when fixing up Bentleys meals. I tend to have to throw him scraps to keep him off the table LOL I about sat on him when I put the package of meat on the table and went to sit in the chair! I tend to get a lot of help in the kitchen and while eating… LOL

    I want to get the cat on all raw here soon, as well. I gotta see how I handle it with Bentley. And I may not do completely raw, come to think of it, because I seems cats need a lot more per pound than dogs do. Might not be able to afford it. May just have to half and half balanced raw and canned or something like that.

    Just signed up with Azure Standard. They have a drop-off location near me and sell bulk items and organic chicken feed for alot cheaper than Amazon!
