Robbish

This morning I am being treated to amazon.com banner ads here on lj... they say, "Shop Smart Shop Amazon". Of course, because my husband is the world's biggest fan of Bruce Campbell, I keep thinking it should say, "Shop Smart, Shop S-Mart". Gah! I shouldn't even know that line, let alone be so indoctrinated that I feel mildly irritated at amazon.com for fucking it up.

I have a bad sinus headache, too. Either that or it's caffeine withdrawal because one of my co-workers has been slipping us all decaf when he makes the coffee. He didn't believe that 'decaffeinated' meant they used a chemical process to strip the caffeine from the coffee, he thought it was just a marketing ploy. Wth, man?! Here at the house we brew two pots - one decaf for Rob & one caff for me.

Coffee, elixir of life itself. Ahhh.

Chelsie lost another toof last night - it's one of the back pointy molars. Her agitation & chewiness & biteyness stepped up a notch the last time she lost a toof, & these past couple of days she's been pretty obnoxious, to the point where she had Rob in tears yesterday. "She keeps biting me, she doesn't like me, I don't want to be an ogre and have to be mean to her to keep her from biting me..." I made Rob take her for a walk yesterday, so for an hour & a half he made her do laps around the park. Normally he lets her sleep all day so when I come home she's the Dog From Hell. Rob always asks me, "Is there anything I can do for you?" so now I have an answer. Walk the damned dog. (we also went out & bought some Bitter Apple spray for our hands, some dog repellant for the stucco outside & some potty training spray for an experimental dirt patch in the back yard. I sprayed Bitter Apple all over my hands & did notice the hand-biting decreased, but the foot-biting increased. Today, I'm spraying it on any exposed skin I happen to notice being chewed on.) She seems a little calmer since she lost the toof, so I'm hoping this may be a signal of toof loss. I gave her an ice cube after she lost the one last night - she thinks ice cubes are a treat, and they're definitely cheaper than the actual doggy ice cream.

decaf man is a dickhead!!!! I get bad headaches if I dont get PROPER coffee!!!

awww puppy toofs, freeze bones for her and carrots and other frozen goodies help loosen teef and make puppy less grumpy/painful.

lol get a treadmill, my dogs LOVE them, just go easy when u first put them on, I think there is info on the net about training dogs to use treadmills - greyhound and sled dog ppl use them for training dogs, but of course - walking doggies is good for hooomans - just I find my dogs have WAY more energy than me lol
