Sure, I'd like to see it. I was kinda wondering about that...obviously they didn't just find a bushman in Hollywood to play the part...
He was a real live bushman :~)
Exactly. Heh...
The three of them in one movie is almost a bit too much, though...
IMDB is great for that.
I don't mind one bit!
I do have a thing for Matthew McConaughey, maybe I should check that out :~)
I'm gonna get a cup and head up to finish the painting I started last weekend. The laundry room has been full of dead washer since Monday, so I couldn't get through to the kids' bathroom to finish up. We got a new washer and SirKit installed it Tuesday night, so I've about caught up on the wash that had piled up.
Hey there! Do you have any plans for Saturday?
We're thinking of coming down to spend the day and heading over to the beach house later that evening.
Sounds good to us! We can go through the corn maze with all the kids and pooches.
I need a few groceries...maybe I'll pick it up tonight. ;-)
Sounds good :~)
What time do you plan on going? I want to make sure we don't hold you up.
Oh, and Tricksey's evil side has appeared at last. She's chewed a door stop, a carpet, several of the girls' toys, etc.
I'm going to buy a bunch more chewies and leave them ~everywhere~ in the hopes she'll choose those over our stuff. :-/
It's normal for her to want to chew stuff at her age. You kindof have to catch her doing it and substitute a good chew toy while doing a lot of shouting and disapproving of her chewing the bad thing.
I would recommend a different approach though... Find ONE toy she likes and encouraging her to only mouth that ("But don't wreck it!") is a better way to go. Leaving lots and lots of chew toys around mixed in with toys that are supposed to be off limits is just confusing.
No time is set aside, we'd only go if you want to go. The earlier we go the cooler it'll be.
She's still a puppy, right? Pretty much?
Cisco's mostly good about sticking to his own toys, but he's wrecked a few stuffed animals. Grrr...
And if I leave him shut up in the house, he'll chew anything and everything, or did last time I tried it. *sigh*
We've got toys for her but she's slowly moved them all outside. :-/
I'll pick one that she likes best and keep it inside at night and when we're out since that's when she does her dirty work.
Ha! I'll enjoy re-reading that thread later.
You might give her a particular busy toy that she likes and only gets when you leave, if leaving her alone brings on the destructive part.
With Gidget I used a plastic pop bottle that I filled with dog food... as she played with it and tossed it around, little bits of food came out and getting the food to come out was the game. Use a large kibble that barely fits out the hole. That's all I fed her in the morning, so she was hungry and it kept her entertained much of the day, she'd sometimes destroy the bottle in one day, sometimes not. I'd save them up as I used them so I had a supply.
Others put peanut butter inside Kongs, but that sounds messy inside, I think you'd end up with peanut butter grease stains on stuff. The dog food is at least dry.
