The 37th Random Long TPBM Exposure Noise/Chat Thread

I am glad Z-dot is not unique in her grass eating and puking but having seen Paxton's picture I worry a bit. She freakin eats everything. She walks up to me with a deer jaw yesterday. I was like fine eat it, it's better than grass. Later she is looking at me funny and I realize she has something in her mouth so I tell her to drop it. She projectile spits a deer molar at me

Boy, did I have to laugh when I got to this part of the article:

Whoever wrote that never met Minnie! The only critter I ever met who was even more finicky about her food was Ashley. Both dogs... Yet, my cats will eat anything...

Chris, on the barking, reprimand and change the situation as to not reward the behavior. Sounds easy I guess take it away when they bark rather than give it to them(like that will work:lol I don't like my dogs to bark except when someone is at the door or it is something I really need to know about. I have Zoë pretty well broke if indiscriminate barking but she often will start to bark when she poops in the morning. If you say no she stops pooping and won't go Leyla says maybe she needs the bark to help get it out. I pointed out no one else in the house barks when they poop.

That's cool about the book Lonnie.

Thanks. Yeah, I guess taking it away is the next step.

Have I mentioned that Gracie is a poop-walker? No bark, but she walks around the yard while doing it - even on the patio.

In general.

The only thing my Labs won't eat is something they can't get to.

Interesting, thanks. Well I will let her graze away and hope she does not eat the wrong thing.

LOL, Chris Dogs are so gross but we over look it for the good stuff.

It has me wondering if I should start a part-time business as a book reseller. I know a bit about books, especially rare/out of print ones. A few bargains like this per month could really help if I could turn it around and resell again right away. Of course, my biggest problem would be my tendency to hoard books. Especially old, rare, out of print ones... There ain't no way I'm gonna sell this one! Or any of the others I have!

Minnie does that, too. It gets real annoying when she gets "the squirts" and has an accident at home. She spreads it around and my Bissel Spot-Bot has to run through several cycles to get it all cleaned up...

Yeah one of our dogs does that poop walking thing too. Makes me laugh.

Cousin bill had a used book business but closed it. They bought huge lots of books and resold them. He often got very valuable ( many tens of thousands of dollars) books. I think the business never did well because he bought books because he wanted them and paid ALOT. He says it is because it was in a town that was illiterate in two languages:lolTexas town)

I have to let you all know that I am mad at Chris!!!!!!!


Not only he comes to Switzerland and doesn't tell me, but then, when I get to stumble upon him, he doesn't even care to answer and looks stupidly at me


'cause if that's not him with those horns pointing forwards, I don't know who it is...

Gotta love it when husbands forget to mention things.

Apparently I'm shooting a renewal of vows next weekend. I don't mind at all, but I'm glad I have at least week's notice. This couple is D's assistant and her husband. They have been married a lot of years (not sure how many) and he's been given 6mo to live (cancer).

Wow. I am sure you will give them a beautiful photographic memory of this, Lisa.

Hi Lonnie

Zoë has developed a terrible habit I am not sure how to deal with. She grabs tall grass and weeds as she runs by, or every time she pauses by some. It concerned me but I was not sure how much she was actually eating or if she was just wanting to put her mouth on something. She threw up this morning and I was startled at the wad of grass that came out. Think of a wad of plant matter the size of a hot dog in a bun When she is close I reprimand her, tell her to drop it, or reach in and pull it out if she has started to swallow and can't spit it back out because it is a long piece of grass.

Hale does that. Hale eats everything too. She will barf it back up too. I try to get her to stop...if I see her and reprimand her she stops. But she does the running grazing as well. I don't think her tummy is upset. She just tries to eat everything.

LOL!! Hale does that too.

Chris, we buy the rope balls. They chew on them for a while but when they start pulling it apart we throw it away. We can't do ropes either, because Hale eats it. The balls are great. They play with them but don't fight over them (like rawhide bones)...and they don't eat them (as long as we are paying attention anyway).

The problem with taking everything away (at least that we discovered with Hale) is that she'll eat something she shouldn't be eating (furniture...house...w​hatever). So we've been trying to find something she likes to play with. Kona likes big rubber squeaky balls. So we buy him those (he doesn't eat them and neither does Hale). She likes the big rope balls. So I'd just suggest trying new chew things until you find something that will work that will make her happy too.

Then again, I'm a rookie. I could be all wrong.
