cornerofmadness: Angel in drag holding up cards (izumi homework)
[personal profile] cornerofmadness
It rained ALL day. I did get to Jackson since I needed diabetic supplies and got caught in the ice storm. Thrills. And now it's snowing. My friend who was having the party is up a very dangerous hill. If we get the snow we're meant to, I'm not leaving. Honestly, I'm not sad about it. I have SO much end of semester stuff to do, I'd be glad to be snowed in for two days.

Momma cat and kittens are using my doorway as shelter. Mom would come in but the kittens want NOTHING to do with me (the cutest one is starting to get curious. She watches me thru the window.) I got the bright idea to use the plastic storage crate I have out there as a wind break and lined it. That's when I found ALL the gardening tools I tore apart my house to find. Don't ask why I never once thought to look there all year for those. They don't seem too interested in the box. We'll see.

You can find my fandom holiday stocking here if you'd like to fill it with something. I've gotten three stockings from you all. remember if you want a Christmas gift or a card (or both) I have links up.

I'm beginning to side with the landlords that don't allow dogs. I THINK this is the new dog the neighbor has gotten and I think it has separation anxiety because it's non-stop barking all day for a week now. I also wonder if she left him and took the kids since there is no one in the apt most of the time which is unusual for them.

declutter day 177 item tossed-Picture frame in the shape of a rubber purple cat why kept-I have had this as a gift for year. Like maybe 15-20 years why tossed -I have NEVER put a picture in it. Time to go live at Goodwill

I kind of agree with you with dogs in apartments or units without yards. dogs can't live like cats, in all day using a box to pee etc. dogs need a fenced yard. they need to go out about every 4 hours, 6 tops, depending on their age and health. I loathe "piddle pads" that basically train your dog to crap in the house. people without yards that are going to be gone a lot need to just get a cat.

that's my philosophy. Even if you do train them to use a litter box (as some people are) dogs need exercise etc. These dumb shits get big dogs too, except for the moron with the Chihuahua they let run free for the coyote to eat

Yeah, being safe rather than sorry is always a great idea.

Hopefully Momma cat and kittens will...uh...well, I don't know. What do you want to do with them? I know giving them shelter's a big step.

Poor barking dog, and I hope it hasn't been abandoned. |:

I wish you lived closer to me, I'd let you use the cat shelter I bought that Neme has no interest in. Since Teyla disappeared, it's just sitting out there empty. I even have a heating pad that goes with it.

I really could have gone but I need to get the stuff ready for gettysburgh and do laundry and grade and if i'm gone for 3-4 hours at a party...

no they do come home but not til late which is why i'm wondering if it's just HIM and her and the kids are gone.

That's why that even though I'd like to get a dog and it breaks my heart to see all the dogs in shelters that need homes, I won't even consider it until I retire and I can be home with it the majority of the time. Of course my cats are probably happy that I *don't* have a dog. LOL

I'm glad the bad weather started early and you didnt get trapped in it. You definitely don't need that.

Some people should not be allowed to have pets.

amen. and morons always get the wrong dog. they know nothing of dogs or breed needs (and usually don't care past "it's cute and I want it")

and good fences help with everything. pet's in, wildlife out. we have so many hawks here, we even had a special enclosure for teddy (the rescued Chihuahua) that he would stay in called "the condo". barry built it originally for some rescued kittens, but we found it was perfect for ted. kept him high and dry and safe when he had to be out unsupervised.

when you're ready, a good shelter should be able to tell you who is afraid of cats or aggressive with cats etc. most get histories or test them on intake.

yeah, that's too bad (and by the time I swing by your place, I'm hoping they'll have all moved out...)

From: [identity profile] cornerofmadness.livejournal.com
yeah that wouldn't have been fun

no argument. these two can barely keep themselves alive judging by the brain levels I see

I don't blame you

again, no argument. I've thought about getting one of those enclosures for Kanda if I ever get a house

Yeah, I don't blame you. While I'm still kind of worried about Teyla, I'm just as glad she moved on.

I'm more worried about the cats having hissy fit, than the dog because I would definitely check to make sure it's okay with cats. :-)

I understand. Though I wish the one kitten would tame up. She's so curious and beautiful. actually all three are very pretty but they're also all girls

Date: 2013-12-07 11:42 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] evil-little-dog.livejournal.com
Yeah, I understand that, too.

Poor dog, no wonder it's howling.

something IS different. There is no signs of life beyond the dog until late evenings. I haven't seen the boy around and I usually see him but it IS cold so...

Landlord was NOT impressed by the dog barking

oh absolutely, and some cats will never accept a dog. a shelter could help you there too, as most will let you do a trial meet and greet or foster to test the waters.

we were surprised that both of our cats actually showed interest in our dogs and pursued the relationships. both were off the street out here, and we thought they would have some issues. but not these two. and our goofy ginger, sidney, showed absolutely no fear of dogs which worried me - a healthy wariness is a good thing

Yeah, in my mom & dad's house whenever we brought in a new cat or dog, we'd just bring them in and let them sort it out. I don't think we ever had a case where they didn't all get along after a bit of hissing. I'm having more problems right now with my formerly stray feral kitty who is now thoroughly tamed and wants to live inside with us, but my other two cats don't want to accept him. But it's winter, he's staying in if he wants, and they'll just have to get over themselves. LOL

That's kind of creepy. Hopefully, they're all...somewhere. Alive, and all.

But will he take action on it? Or are these the people he was going to evict, anyway?

he showed up on my porch today selling his services but I had to say no since I didn't have a dollar. He and the other young boy from C-3 are hauling trash to the dumpster. I'll have to remember to get a dollar on the weekends.

doubtful and yes it was. The guy now has something on his porch that looks like an alarm or a camera....

Well, that's good, that you saw him.

That's a bit. Hmmm.

From: [identity profile] cornerofmadness.livejournal.com
i'm not concerned since I do nothing over there. I think he's trying to catch Tom doing stuff

From: [identity profile] evil-little-dog.livejournal.com
No, I figured YOU weren't worried. Just wondering what it says about the rest of your neighbors.

Date: 2013-12-08 07:16 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] cornerofmadness.livejournal.com
since one of them robbed me, I don't actually blame him but honestly he thinks people are spying on him so....

Date: 2013-12-08 07:33 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] evil-little-dog.livejournal.com
Well, true. And did you ever find out anything about that? You never said after mentioning that Naru had been broken in to. Or if you did, I somehow missed it.

Date: 2013-12-08 09:29 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] cornerofmadness.livejournal.com
nope. nothing. not unexpected

And did insurance come through, or were you told to stuff it?
