I just WALKED PAST him to get to the computer, and he bit me! He's a FREAK! I think I wasted my dollar on the antlers! I'm not getting anywhere NEAR him!
I feel SO sorry for him, but one minute he's playing with me and loving on me, and the next SECOND he's trying to attack me!
I'm telling you, he needs drugs!

Cindy,
I've successfully used a Bach flower essence called "Rescue Remedy" on stressed out or emotionally disturbed pets (and on me, too! ). It is harmless and, although perhaps not as entertaining as drugs (I had a cat prescribed valium once - he fell off the top of the TV! ), it is effective. Most health food stores carry it.

O.K....first we need to hear about why the cat was prescribed Valium! I need all the entertainment I can get right now! Especially if it involves somebody ELSE'S emotionally disturbed pet!
Did the "Rescue Remedy" work? For the pet? For you? Cindy

The cat was prescribed valium for FUS (Feline Urological Syndrome) for a few days. According to the vet, it relaxed the ureters so things could flow easier.
I've used Rescue Remedy for everything from moves (my cat had a psychotic break over that one - NOT a pretty sight!) to getting my dog to chill when he's yappy. (That's usually when I take it too!!! ).

And yes, Cindy, my pets ARE emotionally disturbed...Tiddleywinks's, the dog, (I know, I know, how can he NOT be disturbed with that name )favorite pastime is humping the cat - and the cat likes it!!!

O.K.! I think I've got this posting under control now! After 5000+ posts you'd think I'd learn when to push the button! To hell with the dog... I want the "Rescue Remedy" for Cindy!

No, Cindy, you are not the only one with weird animals!!!
I could tell you TONS of stories - like the morning I had a dream that 26 turkeys were staring at me through my open patio door. When they started walking into the house, I realized it WASN'T A DREAM!!

I love that part on the new Garfield movie where he tells Odie, "down dumb dog"
okay back on track here. My dog I think is so dumb, she hates a bath, but yet it just seems like she'll go out and try and get as nasty as she can. And I can't tell you haw many times she has chewed up and ate. (yes, not only does she have to chew it up, but she actuall eats it) Like we never feed her. And if there's a stray dog in the yard and I let her out instead of running the other dog off (which to me would be her job) she runs out and sniffs it's butt. She chases the cat (I have 10 cats but she only chases one) the black cat. Like she doesn't know she's black too. The rest she doesn't chase.
I could go on and on
we were teaching Ashley to play baseball this summer, you see who ended up with the toy

one of her favorite things to do is go roll in the mud after she's had a bath, she won't do it when it's cold, but when it's warm weather, she'll come back to the house looking like a pig.
I'll have to get y'all a picture of that. I could kill her when she does that right after she's dried from a bath. And she's so big she's like bathing a cow.

Fortunately, Freckles didn't do that after a bath... ...because he was completely knocked unconscious by the vet for his grooming!
I could have KNOCKED him unconscious last night! It was about midnight, I was fixing to go to bed, walked in the kitchen to get a bottle of water and he attacked me like a pit bull! I didn't realize that he was guarding a bag of Cat Chow (again!). I grabbed the cat chow to defend myself with, and he ripped it to shreds, spilling 10 lbs. of cat food all over the place. I was going to take a picture of the disaster this morning (yes, I left it there all night!), but Andy had most of it cleaned up before I got up! (Hey...it's HIS dog!)

Last night Leslie (shamrock316) came over, and unfortunately got to witness H H try to kill me several times! He attacked me 3 or 4 times while she was here. And I don't mean growling and nipping. He came at me full-force, not backing down, trying to bite me. (He did get several good bites in during our altercations!) I just don't understand it. I'm the one who feeds him, gives him treats and toys, loves on him and pets him, plays with him when he'll let me... He attacks me if I get too close to something he's guarding...something that I gave him in the first place! You'd think even a dog would have enough sense to know that the person who gives them the toy isn't going to take it back away from them! Or, not...I don't know. It's getting pretty frustrating, not to mention dangerous around here. Thursday when Brennan was here after school, Freckles got in the house while we were coming in the door. It took me an hour to get him out, and poor Brennan was on the dining room table the whole time!
I'm going to the vet this afternoon to see about getting some "doggie downers" for him. Leslie said my other cousin, who I don't see very much, had a dog that acted like Freckles, and she got some prozac-like drug from the vet to give him, and he was fine after that.
I hope it works.

My turkeys are black! When you see a real turkey with a head and feathers that's not in a Butterball plastic bag it sure makes you think twice about eating them...well, me anyway.
My aunt had a turkey when we visited Kentucky once for Thanksgiving, and she chopped it's head off and it ran around the yard forever until they finally caught it and hung it up. It was really freaky, and for a kid from the city who wasn't used to the lifestyle here in rural Kentucky, it was pretty traumatic. My sister kept it's head, and cried and cried over it. She ended up (unknown to my parents at the time) taking the turkey's head back to Washington D.C. with us. After a week or so, the stench coming from her bedroom was out of this world, and my mom finally went looking for the source.
She found the turkey's head wrapped in Kleenex, in a little box in her dresser drawer.
Freaky!

It's funny how memories pop up now and again. I bet your mother was really shocked, Cindy!
I remember seeing my mother and my step-dad killing chickens in their front yard when I was around 18 or so. I never ate chicken again at their house. To this day, I cannot eat a fresh-killed chicken. I get my meat and poultry from the grocery store all cleaned up and wrapped in plastic. I don't have to watch it running around the yard with no head!

Awhile ago after I finished posting that about the headless turkey, I got up to finish vacuuming the floor (it's taken me all day so far!), and look what was on the couch behind me...sleeping like a little baby! Andy does NOT allow Freckles on the couch! Andy isn't here right now! That's his pillow!

I am so glad you clarified that...I had this wild thought of you taking Andy and Freckles to the groomers,having them both knocked out and groomed and dipped!!!

You know how my imagination is.. I just pictured me leading both of them into the vet clinic, on leashes, Andy is on all fours (of course), and I have to stop 20 times before I get to the door so they can both p on everything in sight before they go inside!

His cute looks are very deceiving. Last night we got into a BIG fight over one of those giant Hershey bars. It got ugly. It's happened once before, so I keep the chocolate in the armoire now, out of his sight. But, Andy left it on the coffee table, Freckles got it, and it took 2 pillows and a big telephone book to defend myself so I could get it away from him. I should have just let him eat it....

***Cindy and ****Dianna, We used to do that too with chickens, we'd get mail order chicks and keep them in a great big tub with a light bulb to keep them warm, and they were so cute, and then once they got a bit bigger went to the barn and got even bigger, and the hens were kept for laying eggs and the roosters were done for dinner..(*YUCK*) and the men/boys would do that with the chickens and let them run around, I was terribly sicken by it, and it was the girls job, we used to have to pluck them, and it was usually done in the fall time, when it's cold out side and we'd have to soak them in hot salt water to get the feathers to come out easier, and my mother and grandmother thought nothing of doing it, *it was the way it was to eat and survive back in the olden days* But mine was still moving or twitching, and the smell of that hot, salty bloody water on a cold day, still makes me s!ck and I am almost a total vegetarian, and I do eat chicken and my mother and I often talk about it and how we both are amazed that I DO eat chicken after all of that and how picky of an eater I am.... I can remember the chicken BBQ's on the spit and how tasty they were...
***And Cindy, That dog looks sooooooooooo ANGELIC when he's sleeping!!!! They just had the cutest dog beds on the QVC yesterday...sm, med, and lg. I wanted one just for me to curl up on they looked so comfy and cozy!!!

Well, I'd buy him a dog bed, but Andy had a little "talk" with me the other day about my credit card spending (last month - $984.46), so I guess Freckles can just sleep on the couch, with his head on Andy's pillow! (An hour before the "talk" I had just put $86. worth of parrot treats on the card, which I failed to disclose during our "talk". I wanted it to be a surprise next month!)

What will you do if Andy notices the dog hair on his pillow...will you convince him its his own and hes just going bald?
quote: What will you do if Andy notices the dog hair on his pillow...
That's the fun part... He won't notice because the pillow cases are just about the same color as Freckles! And, they smell similar to each other, so that won't be a problem, either.
