so, our springer came in the house, and my spouse said "what's in his mouth". I looked and there was no way that i was touching it with bare hands.

I think it was severely dried scat from some form of carnivore. Lots of animal hair in it from some smaller creature.
ugh.

Surprising how firm of a hold a spaniel can have on something when they don't want to give it up.
 
Hounds have similarly firm holds, lol. Serious leather gloves can be one's friend. I once had to pry a sparerib bone that had lodged itself in the upper jaw of an Irish Setter (i.e. "bridging" two back top molars; and she'd stolen the damned thing from a secure lock up; nothing was secure from Tara). Dog on a leash, I've got a wooden spoon in one hand, heavy leather gloves on, and the vet on the phone offering suggestions.
 
wow. I regularly put my hand in his mouth to get stuff out, paper, plastic, you name it, with no issue. Just didn't want to touch this thing. normally, he is really good at releasing and opening his mouth. he wanted this one.
 
Ya know, Pinga, I think there's a total difference between a pup you raise yourself, and the crazy assortment of really crazy rescues I've had over the years. Maybe I should try a puppy some day. Then, it will be all my fault. Lucy is very difficult sometimes. We went for a late walk this morning, because I had this early appointment, and it was prime "postie" and "delivery truck" time. There's a reason I avoid that time of day, apparently. It requires emergency detours, and the local park was choc-a-block with toddlers.

I've raised quite a few kittens, but all of my dogs have been at least 18 months old when I " acquired" them, and that is a huge window in which to really screw up a dog.
 
understood. Ours isn't the best, he has a mind of his own, but, ultimately he is good, and kind. his issue is boisterous love.
 
Not super encouraging for someone considering training a service dog haha.
My poodle meetings keep getting delayed though. Unless I go elsewhere, that's probably not going to happen until December and for now I even question if it would fall into socializing anyway, which we're not supposed to do. I hope overall it will be fairly safe - masks for all people & distancing, the close up with be with the dog, not people. The puppies won't be there which also means less people in and out of the home like the current situation.
 
Rescue dogs are just a potential land mine. Service dogs are usually great. Like I said, there's been some "someone" and some "shelters", that are super bad for dogs. Lucy is brave alpha bitch, usually. Until someone turns on a hose or sprinkler near her, or uses a "clicker" in earshot, or ignites a firecracker, in which cases she is uncontrollably terrified.
 
I agree, a difference from starting from a puppy that is picked as a good candidate. Ideally, I would prefer for the experts to have done more of the work for me too along with filtering out some of the dogs, but that just doesn't seem possible. I'm a bit worried due to my lack of any dog training in general but I also know where I can get help.
I think my sister's dog, who was a reserve dog could actually probably have done the alerting for me, she's smart enough, trainable enough (and I can't actually live with her! not hypoallergenic) but she was on her own for food for too long so I doubt she would ever get to the public access level.
 
Good morning, folks! As we converse about rescue dogs, therapy dogs, and dogs of all sorts, let us take a few moments of calm, for warm beverages. The coffee cart is once again here for you.

Does anyone else have the problem of cups of coffee and tea getting cold due to other distractions. It's not the same when it's reheated. Thanks for a nice hot one. Maybe I need a smaller cup.
Good morning!
 
Bosh in British is said to mean nonsense ... while in the Saxon form (bosch) it is for a forest ... thus te darker version when the "c" is dropped as the troopers enter the thicket area as thicker ... sometimes like the knowledge tree ... to those immersed in emotion ... it can be dark and thick ... unless you can see a spark at the end of the tube (sometimes called vessel, or even a bote)! Expect hams and other irony ...

That's ab ote all for now ... as time passes ... unless one is stubborn as some Eeyore are said to be while on the road ... be cautious of the elephants coming over the ridgeline,theye can destroy large establishments ... when fresh out of the bush!

Best to move within tent ... so one can get out of the path ... ah boy that widens the ways ... a flood of emotional word may en Sous ... be aware of vapid explosions ... and remnant vapours! They may be ephemeral ... largely cowd?

Yet some words may carry on the wind for sometime ... potentially because of the purple shadow on the wall ... the light that befalls us as night descends and light fades bringing on leviathan conditions of sight unseen ... Jew Run as they don't wish to look upon the eruption as overwhelming the thoughts of root-in word! Literal can change the image as formal writ until divisive emotions flood ... the seen?

Never heard 've IT? Monstrous denial ...

Today is also World Kindness Day. Oh, yes, today is also Cardigan Day; we are encouraged to wear a cardigan in honour of the birthday of King Friday XIII.
 
Good morning all The lovely warm days of fall have disappeared and it’s back to gloomy November. But it’s not snowing so that’s a plus

hubby has a fabulous coffee cup for those looking to splurge at Christmas. Son bought it for him. It’s called Ember. You plug it in and the coffee stays hot. Quite amazing actually. But it’s a splurge. I think about $160. But for your hot coffee loving spouse a fancy Christmas gift maybe ?

keep warm and safe everyone
 
I am sad today.

Someone that I care deeply was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in February Though she had treatments and tried various avenues, it has not been good, and though I knew it was likely to come, I am sad to hear from her today, that she is palliative and will be going to a hospice soon.

Damn 2020.
 
Yes, sorry to hear about this as well. May she be comfortable in Hospice, and her friends and family find comfort in happy memories.
