    I went to bed at 5pm… sorry if I haven’t replied to anyone. I’ll get to it in the morning :)
    L
    I’m trying to eat, and I’m having to push away 5 whining, snuffling snouts that are currently being stuck right into my food.

    Today I got the most comfortable fleece sweater I have ever had and it is already covered in white dog hairs.

    I would really prefer to live in the middle of nowhere too. And I think my dogs would!
    Omg, I would never let my service dog jump on a table! That’s very bad etiquette.
    It is different if you own one :)
    And yes, easy to invest your soul into them :)

    Yep. Dogs love it in the middle of nowhere--its like they come alive.
    No, the cafe dog people are why I do not want pets right now, but eventually I'll find a good dog somewhere. Cats also are fine but they're not good for outdoors at all.
    One of my favorite pets growing up was a chicken.

    Luca
    They really do! :)
    I would get annoyed with people bringing misbehaving dogs into a cafe too :/ Some pet owners are really ignorant.
    I can help you find a good dog someday if you’d like! Fortunately I have a lot of connections within the community :)
    I’ve never had a cat but I don’t mind them. They are cute.
    Chickens are nicer pets than people realize. Game birds are interesting too.

    My Pointer dog has been terrorizing the neighborhood kids. So now I only walk him at night and I won’t let him out in the yard unsupervised.

    I’ve thought about that, but I know what it’s like to be in foster care and constantly bounced around between families… I don’t want to fail him :( The person who gave him to me said “If anyone can help this dog, you can.” So I’m not ready to give up. Rescue dogs take a lot of patience and a lot of work but I do have faith in him (and myself.)

    My dogs have a pig toy that is a treat dispenser and the treats come out of its nostrils.

    By coincidence, I was remarking to my friend about a "game" I'd seen advertised. Doggie Doo Corgi. The awards come out the other end, after rolling a die and honking a horn the corresponding number of times as depicted by the spots on the die. Meant for humans of developmental age 3 or less, looks like.

    That’s even worse lol. When I bought the toy I had no idea that it was a treat dispenser. At least it’s the nose and not the other end.

    For once, I had fast enough reflexes to catch my dog stealing something off the counter, and rescue the item from him.

    I had to pull out my entry for the dog show on Jan. 8th because Covid is getting really bad again where I am :( Waste of $35 but safety 1st

    I’m not making a lot of sense today :( I wish I knew how to talk about what’s going on in my head but it’s hard to express it.

    My small dog Linda is indeed a purebred Portuguese Podengo, according to the US breed club for Podengos. I was correct. Lol
    L
    Luca
    Coincidentally, Podengos (the larger variety) and Dogo Argentinos often hunt in packs together in Portugal. So I have two breeds of dogs that are bred to work closely together. And I am Portuguese lol

    I should be sound asleep right now but I just spent the last hour patching my walls where my dogs have scratched it up with the furniture :(
    L
    Luca
    They always jump into this one chair that has a wood backing and it scratched a bunch of the paint off my living room wall. They also try to snatch stuff off the walls and leave claw marks in the process.

    My Pointer (dog that I rescued recently, with help from a friend) likes to take his stuffed animals to bed and cuddle with them :)
    L
    Luca
    He’s not a very friendly dog in general, he growls and shows teeth at kids and dogs and thinks everyone is an intruder, but he’s learned that he can’t get away with biting/snapping at me. He is a train wreck, but I think with constant training and affection he will improve. He trusts me now.

    Sorry this is happening. My nightmsres get distinctly worse when I am wanting a change, or there is stress.
    L
    Luca
    Thank you. Sorry you have to deal with it too :(
    L
    Luca
    I think it probably is stress related but I’m not sure. I probably do need a change of scenery or something.

    Only 3 more months of winter. Then it’ll be easier to get sun & air again.
    L
    My dreams/nightmares have gotten increasingly vivid and disturbing lately. I’m starting to worry about my mental state.

    @Gerontius Yes, they’re keeping me from sleeping.

    This has been happening for a while now but it’s been getting worse :( I think it might be stress or anxiety but I don’t really know.

    It’s snowing!!! We will have a white Christmas here for the first time in a decade :) :)

    It snowed here too! I've only seen one other white Christmas in my life (26th of December, in South Carolina of all places) but now Connecticut is properly snowy--No precipitation says Christmas like snow.
