Good morning everyone! Yes, Jude. We have a shock collar and it does work like a charm. We have used it to end other harmful habits. Perhaps I will give it a try on this one.
Today is volunteer day. I'm up way before the sun and getting ready to go.
24 more for all of us here, please and thank you.

Thanks all for your kind words. Rosie was 14 years old and was in kidney failure. She had a good life and I'm trying to stay positive but I really do miss her.
Dill, have you ever thought of using a training collar on Lily? They are very helpful when trying to curb unwanted behavior in a dog. It consists of a collar and a hand held device that can be used from a distance. Whenever Lily would go after pumpkin you would press a button on the device and it would give Lily a small shock. We had to use it on my dog whenever he was outside because he would bark at everything in sight. Worked like a charm!
Cowboy, peanut is doing great and is growing like a weed! She's come out of her shell and wanders around the house like a princess but she still doesn't like to be touched by us humans.
Rava, hope that your flight home was uneventful and that you're home safe and sound.
Waves to Ginger and Mul!
Not today!Leave a comment:

Sorry to hear about your cat Jude. Are most of your pets getting up there in age? And how is the new little one doing now, Peanuts I think you named him?
We have boxes of cd's that never got taken out of the moving boxes dill once we got settled here in Veg. Don't think we'll ever get around to doing that as we never listen to them anymore. I'm actually headed out this morning to clean and service a furnace for one of my customers, an 87 year old widow who always has coffee and cake for me when I'm done.
Hopefully you'll both get to your winter residence safe and sound Ginger and Rava!

Cross post, Rava! I know you're sad about leaving but believe me, Christmas will be here before you know it!Leave a comment:

Jude, I am so sorry to hear about your cat. I know how you must be feeling.
Ginger, I've thought about taking on another barn cat but to be honest, I don't want to take on another set of vet bills. Even the barn cats can be pretty costly. I think I will just redouble my efforts to get Lily to stop the compulsive chasing. And on the plus side, I have seen signs that Pumpkin doing better at standing his ground and not running.
What projects are you going to be getting into today, Cowboy?
Hope your travels are going well, Rava.
Not much going on here. I think I'll start my project of organizing my CD collection to make it easier to find what I want to listen to. I really haven't been listening to them for years because we didn't have a player. Now we have a player but the CDs are in a state of disarray!

Good morning Cafe. Jude, I am very sorry about your cat. Losing our fur babies is very hard. Hopefully you will be feeling a bit better today. Ginger, Safe travels! I know it grueling but you got this! Dill when I am done a sticker book, I simply throw it in the trash! LOL. I don’t need more junk. It’s like a completed coloring book that gets tossed. The sticker books are about 8.00 but provide me a lot of play time. Hi to Cowboy this morning. Our plane leaves at 11 am and pending no delays with our 2nd flight, we should be home in Florida by 7 pm. Feeling a little sad to be leaving my family but I will see them again at Christmas. 24 more please and thank you. I am reading a sobriety book on the plane today in hopes that I will stay strong in Florida with all the booze floating around.Leave a comment:

Safe travels, Rava! I'm the same. My mind won't rest again until we get there. Exhausting!
Dill, that's kinda sad for Pumpkin. Maybe he needs a kitty pal. So many barn cats and so few people with barns.
Hi Jude and ABC!
If for some reason I don't check in, know that I'm not drinking just forgetting. Lol I'll take another!Leave a comment:

Safe travels to both you gals Rava and Ginger. My thoughts and prayers are also with the people of Jamica and everyone else who might be in Melissa's path.

Safe travels to you and yours, Ginger. I hope all goes well. Pumpkin lives alone in the barn. That's one reason I tried so hard to get the dog to stop chasing him. He used to be able to come over to the deck and visit with us, but I'm afraid Lily just cannot be stopped from chasing him, short of being tied all day and I simply won't do that to any pet. We go out to the barn and visit with him though. I might start over again trying to civilize Lily. We actually did make progress in the past, and also, she is finally getting more mature.
Rava, you have mentioned sticker books several times. You must find them very relaxing. What do you do with the final products? Frame and hang? Give as gifts? I too will send prayers to those poor folks in Jamaica. That is so scary! Are you traveling today as well, Rava? If so, best wishes.
Hi Cowboy and Jude! I hope you are able to post today Jude....
24 more for all, please and thank you.Last edited by dill; October 28, 2025, 06:47 AM.Leave a comment:

Good morning Cafe. Safe Travels today Ginger and family! Good luck with the driving and diamond painting! I usually do sticker books but finished 7 books this summer. I just downloaded some movies for the plane ride tomorrow. Watching Hurricane Melissa hitting Jamaica today. Those poor people. So many of those homes will never withstand this hurricane. Sending prayers for their safety. Been up since 430 am. I usually get antsy before travel and my mind is spinning. Wishing everyone a great and sober day. 24 more please and thank you.Leave a comment:
