She was my granddaughter’s wish, and we had been looking for a new pup after our Dubz passed away a few years before, so why not? Cute little thing…
She pretty much grew up on this website, you all know her, Wacky Poodle that she is, and I write this to say, what a great Friend! She traveled, slept in motels alone, chased rabbits in at least 5 states, got skunked, and loves water!
Always ready to go, doesn’t care where, as long as she is with Dadoo. We have sailed the desert, climbed a few mountains. She hasn’t seen the ocean, but big lakes and rivers, no worries for Bella, she swims! A very strong, and strong willed animal, the smartest dog I have ever had.
She pulls very hard, and breaks leashes on a regular basis, I keep her short leashed because people are stupid, but it doesn’t help. Bella is a love machine, and as such she’ll knock you down in her quest for face licks, it’s all she wants, and Will Not Stop!
Bella started out in SoCal, lived a year in AZ, and now gets to live the dream, in Michigan, in Winter, but she loves it. She has a jacket and boots when needed (not yet), she’s just happy to be out in the world, like Dad.
My latest plan is to make a place for her and I to be at peace, and live out our lives here. Bella agrees, I think she remembers Wendy, but naaah, dogs don’t remember.
Do they?
Pitbull/ Belgian Malinoix
18” at the shoulder
50 Lb.
No fat
Short hair in the rear
Double water coat on the shoulders and chest
Her neck is thicker than her head, hard to make a collar work,
If I had 6 of her, I could rule the World! But one is fine, gotta love the Ubu!
My little Dog, my friend, my child, Bella, Child of death, Teufelhund.
She looks fun, our Inky would love her!
Pets are wonderful. They just plain are.
She was Wendy’s dog, now she is my Babu
I love that coat, and the purple is cute on the little pumpkin.
She is control Queen,
She Girl I mean
Of course. ?
Get a martingale collar. Greyhounds have big necks relative to head and that’s the collar. https://www.theartfulcanine.com/martingale-collars/
Thank you! that is an issue, she;s a strong doggie!
Or get a harness
Bella broke a Kong Harness, I’ll take a small tough harness for now,
I mean , Collar
and a back brace, for yourself.
We used to say, “I’m
taking the dog for a walkgoing out for a drag.”Damn, that dog could hunker down.
Nope
Martingale.
Harness says “I can’t control my dog”.
Collar FTW!
A dog can pull much harder with a harness than with a collar.
With a collar, they’ll choke themselves. It’s a self-limiting system.
No shit? why does my Dog have a collar? She’s a maniac and must be controlled
We have started puppy obedience.
There is a 110 lb woman with a 6-month old bulldog.
The first three weeks, the bulldog was in harness. Pretty much pulled the woman over a few times.
The instructor said to get a collar.
Last week, the bulldog was much more in control.
Yep
oh, I guess I had 15 minutes to notice this apt comment.
It’s all good.
I caution against harnesses.
A dog should be managed with a collar. A harness merely gives the dog something to pull against and requires a good deal more effort to establish control. To put a dog in its place with a collar is an early step to establishing the correct relationship that a harness can only delay.
Meh, I know plenty of people with dogs, who use harnesses, and their dogs are well controlled. All have dogs with big necks and that’s why they chose harnesses. The dogs are well behaved, and were taught not to pull.
Your experience differs from mine.
I’ve never seen a dog in a harness that wasn’t straining at the leash.
Apparently so.
My avatar had a harness, mostly because a XXL collar wasn’t long enough. In a pinch, I used my belt when he outgrew the first one, which did not work very well. Had to special order a 31″.
I found that for walking, a harness was better because it allowed me to pull hard enough if and when I needed to. He would only pull that hard when I walked him though, and was completely voice obedient.
A quick ‘ah’ and he’d heel.
Dachshunds need a harness. Too prone to spinal issues already as it is.
Love the armchair pic – so content and loved.
A smoky picture, I like it, Thanks,
Wonderful!
Thanks Yufus. Dogs are good. Except my neighbors. That asshole………..
Great tribute.
We’ve had pits forever. For pullers like pits, gentle leader collars work really well although it can take some time/work to get the dog to tolerate them. Basically like a bridle; they turn the dogs head when they start to pull.
Bella snaps them, and it hurts my arm when she does, right now I use Tacticollar and heavy cord, still riips my arms off,
Bella is out of control, until I control her, Barks, noises and commands, we communicate and act as a team, that is what’s best for Doggies, IMO

Our Shih Tzu couldn’t wear a collar; his neck was larger than his head. Harness was default.
But “take him for a drag” was our standard line.
Smartest dog we’ve ever “owned”. Miss him.
I went to a zoo the other day and it had only one animal—a dog.
It was a Shih Tzu

One last attempt
I have one in .357. Very ‘snappy’.
That’s my daily carry piece.
Figured I’d use some of it to purchase a nice 11-acre piece of land I’ve had my eye on, then use some to add to my collection of Krugerrands, and what’s left after that I’ll play on the stock market.
$600 gets you that much? Did we just travel back to the 1800s?
There are parts of Arizona where you can indeed buy 11 acres for not a terribly large amount of money. Less than a grand an acre sometimes.
LOL!
Silver, something more likely to be valuable in the future. You?
This. I can cover the extra hun. Every piece of cooking equipment I buy now I choose food truck/trailer usable. I want to quit my job.
Nice, good luck. I understand I have platinum hand cuffs.
I am kind of hand cuffed myself, but I am too old and took this job too late in life to reach platinum status and fully expect to drop dead any day so why work the easiest job I have ever had but hate. I am not sure if I will ever pull the trigger but I am a fan of food trucks/trailers and holy moly they are incredibly mediocre here.
What would be your menu?
After my job was exported from Manhattan to Jersey City around 2015, the variety of food trucks that parked in front of my new office building due to the almost complete lack of anywhere else to eat lunch were a godsend. Often a bit pricey but most of them had really good food.
I miss them almost as much as I miss the enormous variety of lunch joints I used to enjoy in the before the before times.
Well good luck, and let us know. I would chip in and I think that would be a common feel here. And if you didn’t want charity, crowd funding is always an option.
What charity? I expect a return!
I’d buy your plow disk tacos!
There is a truck here in Doloot that sells deep fried reuben balls and occasionally green chicken curry tacos that I like.
There’s a place in Columbus that does sauerkraut sausage balls. Served with blue cheese dressing. They are awesome
Oooooh Floridaman has the right idea. I would totally pitch in for you for a food truck.
A guy who worked for me in the military went this route when he retired, mostly working festivals/events. Did it for a couple of years with his kids. He made really good money on occasion, but his school age kids aged out and the work can be back-breaking.

Speaking of imports, I always think about the velocity of money. Programs like this always make me wonder how many turns the money makes stateside before WalMart finally sends all of it to China.
China spends it all back in the US. Just that they stupidly spend a big chunk of it on T-bills instead of stuff.
China owns about $1.1T in US debt.
What is the saying…if you owe the bank $1MM you have a problem. If you owe the bank $100MM the bank has a problem.

Huh nice.
0.80% up to $10,000, then 0.55% on amounts over that.

I remember when it was 5%.

This game has been quite entertaining.
No doubt! I had been bummed about what a boring game it would be, but I sighed too soon!
The Stillers probably shouldn’t have gone in and immediately danced all over the Bengals’s logo.
I have been laughing quite a bit just watching the highlights. It’ll be strange trying to go cross eyed to watch the Stillers/Colts and Browns/Jets on Sunday.
/Browns haven’t won their division since 1989, and are still in the hunt this year (assuming the Bengals continue on this path).
Now that was a lovely QB sneak.
Hahahaha! Another Bengals TD. Tomlin did not look happy.
Still to early to get comfy; there’s a heck of a lot of game left, and the Steelers are the better team.
But just for tonight…
Mr. Mojeaux thinks the Stillers are worse than their record indicates.
Yep. Lots of game left. I was expecting to check the score a couple times and not watching it at all. Now I’ve got it streaming to my phone while I’ve got the web page up showing plays as well (the fact the web page is updated before the play is run on the stream is annoying me, and making me consider a wire scam).
Ummm… Go Bengals?!
Go Colts?!
What a wonderful friend Yusef.
Good doggie! Nice pics, Yu!
You have a good friend, Yusef. I have a fox or two that come every night to eat sunflower seeds under the bird feeders. The deer are showing up at night too, under the yard light. Glad they take no effort on my part, just watch them and they take care of themselves.
Foxes have an ethereal quality. Maybe because I’ve only encountered them a few times up close—always in the snow in the wee hours of the morning. They are quiet and graceful, as well as a bit shy.
I hear them ‘barking’ in my neighborhood. And sometimes almost screaming. They can be loud.
So, what does the fox say?
GHAAAAGH!! I thought that ear worm was banished from my brain.
Thanks a ton for bringing it back.

I don’t typically like to put out “themed” dish towels in the kitchen, but I made an exception for the tea towel that currently graces the oven door handle.
It says “Not a creature was stirring, not even a“

My Lemmy turned 10 this year. He is still a great dog. The one thing I could never break him of is barking at the mail or UPS guy.
He has been liking that I work mainly from home now, but I think he misses out on the sleep he normally got during the day.
He’s noticed that the routine has changed and is standing by by to take on any new duties that his Clan Chief has for him in these changing times.
Or he loves you.

Made a total rookie mistake this evening:
– remove pan from 450° oven
– remove chicken from pan
– unthinkingly grab handle of pan
Dope. Should have put something on the handle the second I took it out of the oven.
I did that with a Turkey pan once. Out of the oven using mitts, then I needed more room so I grabbed the U-handle, which was relatively narrow, with my unmitted hand, fully enclosing the handle.
Burned like heck, but was so narrow that it didn’t give off heat fast enough to warn my approaching hand.
I ran water over the hand, wrapped it in a paper towel and electrical tape and moved on.
The next day, the wound was healing with my fingers stuck to my palm. Had to go to the doctor to have her rip them back apart.
Do not recommend. Lesson learned.
Ouch.
I think I got off light – realized what I had done quite quickly, right under very cold running water. It seems to be doing OK right now.
Are you sure it’s not Covid? I hear it’s everywhere and is the sole cause of misery. You should get a test.
That’s good.
I’d have healed up ok too if I had adequately separated the fingers from palm during the healing. But then Thanksgiving dinner wasn’t going to make itself.
That must have been 10 years ago or more. Silly me.
I did that recently. I have a new small oven safe fry pan. Took it out of toaster oven with mitts, then went to turn handle with bare hand. Yowza!
I this a Glib thing? The big blister on my palm is almost healed. 450 degree cast iron handle and didnt have the mit positioned correcly.

Slight scar on back of hand from putting in a dish mittless and hitting the oven’s heat element.

heterochromia can be either two different colored eyes (Huskies, Aussie Border Collies, etc.) or what Penny has – sectoral heterochromia, where an eye has two colors. She happens to have that in both eyes, and the same two colors.
Those “cracked glass” eyes are common(?) in Catahoula Leopard Dogs, which I think she is, in part (along with american staffie).

Here’s a ducking idea. No limit. End the OLCC’s monopoly on liquor sales, along with bottle deposits and fake marijuana legalization. And end the ban on self service gasoline.
I was in Coos Bay on Thursday. Pulled into a Chevron and and began to pump gas. A big fat guy came out and started asking me questions and then I remembered I was in OR. I told the dude I’d be happy to pump my own gas, and he said “sure” and went and helped a car that pulled in.
Something weird about a dude pumping gas for another dude. I don’t like it.
The self service ban isn’t even statewide anymore. Three different sets of rules now.

Sadly, paying off the most rural counties seems to have slowed momentum towards a statewide repeal. The thing I really don’t get is all these Califuckwards are busy remaking the state in California’s image but they can’t do the one thing that would actually improve life here? Along with shutting down the state liquor monopoly. Can we imitate those two things?
All the videos of Portland make me think people there aren’t capable of pumping their own gas.
Sadly I think this might be right.
For about a month we had statewide self service at the initial covid panic. Then the betters woke up and realized that if it went on, people might realize there’s not a need for the ban. And for the selfless servants enforcing the ban. That’s my speculation.

I want him to enjoy it…he is at the stage in his self learning where he is watching videos and picking up what they are playing. I also don’t want him to be a dumbass.
Most people would need a real teacher to push over a certain level. Self learning is a good start, though.
Okay the real battle is the wife. For me, this is your passion? Okay. Life has a way of teaching you as you go. Get him the lessons cause this is the first time he has expressed any real interest to anything.
If it’s a reasonable price, do it. It’s good for him.
He can go to night school for his grades when he has grown up some. Something like guitar needs to be nurtured now while he’s young.

Kentucky mail carrier encounters ax-wielding dog on his route
Reading about the pork laden bill that will probably be passed today that gifts most people 600 of their stolen dollars back is really pissing me off. I need to find a better way to start my days other than anger.
Some of the employees at work (teamsters, mostly) are always talking about “gettin’ that check”. I’ve tried explaining that they’re just getting taxed money back, which was taken in the 1st place, but it fails to resonate.
It is the close to 800 billion going out as foreign aid and pork that is most infuriating.
C’mon man- we need a leviathan of a government to handle the important business. Shit like this:
The FDA wants to get rid of its rules governing the identity of French dressing

Then the bad – Judi’s car needs some maintenance right now that she neglected to tell me about and it will use up my Trudeau Bucks and make me a shade tree mechanic in the middle of winter. We had another “white powder” incident at work last night which turned out to be styrofoam microbeads used in packaging. Stole an hour of my life. The Ugly? I’m not gonna let it get to me anymore. All that shit is beyond my purview.
Just say “serenity now!” enough times.
the other day someone referenced the Navajo (?) “walk in beauty” concept. Just think of yoga pants.

Oh I got it. I’m older than you, remember? Seinfeld was smoke a skinny ritual for EX and I back in the early 90’s.
Can’t. “Festus, would you please come to the front of the class and conjugate this verb on the blackboard S’il vous plaise?” *Frantic head-shakes*
around these parts Yoga pants are a nightmare,

It’s like a can of Planters Mixed Nuts here. Plenty of peanuts, too few cashews and way too many brazil nuts.
At least you didn’t have a “white power” incident.
It’s only an “incident” if it happens rarely. Yeah, I went there! 😉
R u out of the doghouse?
