Ah, well that kills that idea. Hmm, have to steal it, I guess.;)

The dog will not shut the fuck up.

And, he has cause. There's a car. A bird. A person. Another person a block over. Global warming. The heartbreak of psoriasis. The echo of his own bark answering him. Must I go on? He does. jfc.

He does have one good point, the neighbor's dog comes through the hedge and tears ass around the yard, whipping my tethered dog into a sonic fucking frenzy (can you sprain your vocal chords and if so, why o why hasn't it happened yet?). I've been next door and spoken to the adult in charge. She was surprised and apologetic and brought the dog in. That time. But it's not an issue for her, the dog just disappears for awhile from her yard, so what? Over here it's all THE BRITISH ARE COMING THE BRITISH ARE COMING RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!!!!!!11.

omg.

It doesn't help to put him in the house, he hears stuff. The same stuff, and the same response. I could sedate him, or sedate myself, but I'm running low on triple sec and I have a little more trim work to do and it's early, so, doggy tranquilizers it will be. Maybe I'll bring the kennel in the house, put him in it and cover it with couch cushions. Then take my 3/8" drill and clean out my ears. aaaaaauuuuggghh.

Ah V, that's awful.

It would be betterer if the British really were coming; Limey & Dani have dogskilz and I'd just roll my sleeves up and put rubber gloves on and be all dominatrix-like with my accent and all.

vocal cord surgery like in Shameless.

Maybe he needs a looooooong walk v?

V, have you heard of Adaptil?

I got one of the collars for Carrot and it's chilled him out loads from what he was like before.

It uses a pheremone similar to one found naturally in mothers milk and which has a calming effect. The Dog's Trust put them onto all the dogs that come in just to get them over the first few weeks adjustment. You leave the collar on all the time and it lasts about 4 weeks. It's also available as a spray or plugin diffuser.

Might just take the edge of his excitement and allow him to hear you when you're telling him to stop :p

Or you could get an electric shock collar. ;)

A deep bucket of milk might have the same effect. :rolleyes:

BigV probably already has one, but it's not for animal use. ;) :eek: :shock:

*snort*

Maybe I'm a cynic...I try not to be. But I see people post stuff that immediately raises my Snopes detector...and I'm seeing it more and more. I posted links to the Snopes pages on a couple of things I saw this week, but...is it really worth it? Guess it's about picking battles.

Sure, nothing wrong with correcting misinformation. It shouldn't be a problem if you're not a dick about it... you know, pointing and laughing and shit.:mock:

There is a good change that I'm going blind.

No, not a good change at all, so I assume you mean a good chance. I also assume this is deterioration due to a medical problem. You are seeing a doctor, yes?

:right:


I ... think I see what you did there.
