1. I finished Mr Mercedes by Stephen King today. I really enjoyed this crime story but I also miss his old terror-horrors. I remember reading The Shining for the first time. It was the first book that I had to put aside for a while because I was too scared (that was 20 or 25 years ago!). I would love to find a really scary book again. I haven’t read something truly scary in a long time. If you have a favorite, I would love to hear from you . . .
2. Next up I am debating if I am in the mood for something biographical – maybe Hillary Clinton’s new book – or maybe a light hearted romance – The Rosy Project . . . I will load both on my clip and see what I am in the mood for tomorrow.
3. My poor Roxy baby is still suffering . . . I spoke of her separation anxiety a while ago. We have gotten the strongest medication that the vet could prescribe but still it is no help. We have now tried everything. Tried a dog behaviorist, tried “training” by keeping her away from us for short periods even when we are home. We even tried medication . . . I don’t know anymore. And the looks from the neighbors are getting worse . . . I really am so despondent . . . I am unhappy and she is unhappy . . . I have heard of “doggy daycares” – wish there was one nearby . . .
4. I just love the minions 
5. Ever watched a movie and thought “. . . that is so much crap . . . “ but smiling broadly anyway . . .
Your poor pup! I'd love to offer a helpful tip but all I can give is sympathy. Rough situation.
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to decide if I want to read Clinton's new book- I didn't read the first, despite being a supporter, so I feel like I should read it first.
Started the Clinton book today - I am still undecided about my feelings, but I will give it a few more hours.
DeleteOne of my friends sent her dog to dog daycare - she says it's the best thing she ever did because she has stopped feeling worried/guilty all day and her puppy is happy.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the minions as well. Heard they have their own movie coming out soon??
I would love a Minions movie! Have to keep an eye out :) How can you not smile when you see them!
DeleteI don't know about re-homing, Felicia. That would be such a hard decision!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your dog. When I first got mine from a rescue, he had some separation issues. He got better once we let him start sleeping in our bed while we are gone. I think the smell of us helped him a lot. Maybe try putting an unwashed older shirt or towel with her and see if that helps. I hope you find something works for both of you. I remember how bad it was for me and my dog. It was not a fun time. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the ideas, Melanie! I think I am in denial this weekend - just pretending the problem does not exist. Will try again next week!
