In a foul temper -

[kyburg]

I had a back door with a screen on it. Once.

I also have a jumpy little dog who seems to think her mission in life is to irritate either of us to the point of letting her in - so she won't bang on the screen door anymore.

Needless to say, the screen door ain't working anymore, and is hanging by a hinge these days. Really ought to just take it off.

But I really had enough last night and yelled at her. She skulked off to her doggie bed on the patio and I didn't hear from her again - until Jim came home, and she decided she could start in on HIM.

So I yelled at her again.

Feel like crap this morning. I have a pushy broad for a dog - and people wonder why she isn't better "trained." Folks, I'd have to set fire to her and I won't do it. I'm just wondering who's Mamma got reincarnated as a dog. Sheesh.

(Let her in? I then have to babysit a dog who eats the cat food, the cat poo and pees at a moment's notice. Just 'cos. Not when I'm watching her, of course. Damn stealth bomber.)

I've had her since 1994. If I couldn't hack it, I'd have made other arrangements.

The joys of pet ownership.

In other news, it's getting too damn expensive to drive anywhere. Gnar. When I second-think traveling anywhere but work more than five times, thumbs up or thumbs down, it gets OLD real quick.

Our solution to this was to pick a back room where the door stays closed all the time. You can get a small pet door that is plastic and mounts in a hole you cut in the door near the bottom. Put the cat food, water, and litter in there and no more problems. Cat can get in but the dog can't :-)

Good plan, except the dog is about the same size as the cats....

no problem

Dude, that's too much time on your hands, and too much geek on the brain....

it's getting too damn expensive to drive anywhere.

And too damned dangerous. Is it just me/here or are drivers getting more rude and more insane lately? I have too many flist friends who have had accidents or near-accidents lately.

I used to like driving. Now I go to lengths to avoid it.
