My dog attacks my other dog whenever I walk into the room.
Comments (11)Hi DHS, Has Kennedy always done this, or did she initially accept the situation and calmly get along with Little Bit? If she has always done it, has something changed to make you more concerned lately? What is different? If it is new behavior, what changed around the same time as Kennedy's behavior? Think about all of these things. Think about exactly what Kennedy does, how she does it, what she looks at, when does she start the behavior, what stops it, and if there are changes in the environment that make her attacks better or worse. Write all these things out, keep notes. Have everybody in the family write what they see during these attacks. Don't say things like "Kennedy got jealous and attacked Little Bits when she was sleeping on the couch." Since we cannot know what is going on inside her, saying she is "jealous" or "scared" or "dominant" does not help. Instead, say, "I opened the door and came in from the garage and as soon as Kennedy saw me, she jumped up. She ran in circles barking for about thirty seconds. I could tell she was excited because the hairs on the back of her neck stood up and she was bouncing up and down on her front legs, which she held stiff. She darted toward me once, then ran to where Little Bits was sleeping next to the arm of the couch and jumped on the couch and grabbed Little Bits my the scruff of her neck with her teeth and shook her a bit. Little Bits squealed and yipped, so I knew she was scared." See, describe behaviors. Then the behaviorist can use her own observations and info you have gathered to give you the best advice....See MoreWhy don't people pick up their dog's waste?
Comments (17)There's signs all over the park here that say "It's your doodie!" (verbatim) and mentions the fines if you don't do your duty and pick up the doodie. So I guess what it boils down to is you are in Canada and I am not thus you will not have dogpiles and I will. And that's the way it is. And you have healthcare and I don't. And that's the way it is. And you have some other policies and laws I would pay to have but alas, I don't because I'm in the USA. And that's the way it is. So enjoy it. Just enjoy all your cleanliness and lack of trash and hypodermic needles in the streets and robberies and driveby shootings and your standardized use of the metric system and your legal 4 GPF toilets and all the import albums that I can not get here for any amount of money and just romp around in all the pretty snow. Not fair about the snow situation either. Freaking freezing outside here but do we get snow? Noooo. Phew I feel better now thanks.

Comments (11)I am no expert, djacob, but it looks like your delphinium is a Pacific Giant Black Knight. I grew Black Knight from seed many years ago (over 10) and still have them, but want more, more, more ...and have been trying to grow them again ever since., without success ..I can’t remember what I did! From what I can determine, seeds from the Pacific Hybrid Group need to go through a cold, moist, stratification (unlike some other delphimium groups) . The method I am trying right now is to put my seeds in a moist coffee filter, in a baggie, in the fridge for anywhere from 24 hours up to 5 weeks. I read an article (Empress of Dirt) in which she experimented and determined that 30-35 hours in the fridge was a sufficient amount of time to increase the germination rate. Then plant them in seed starting mix and they will germinate at 18C (65F) . Grow them on under lights at cooler temps (15-18C, 60-65F) before hardening off. I start them indoors because my growing season is rather short (zone 5a Muskoka Ontario)....See MoreI let my fingers do the walking and boy are they tired
Comments (32)Don't forget about online farmers markets! Do you have any local farmers who are doing delivery or drop-off ? I placed an order with my online market and was able to get some of the meats and produce I normally get. There used to be a drop-off refrigerator at the campus loading dock, but they had to close it. So, now I have to go to a pharmacy, and they will come out and deliver your bags for pickup while maintaining distance. Also, I emailed one of the farmers who is not on the online market but one of the general farmers market which is postponed, and he will have some things in next week. I'm looking for a pork butt/shoulder roast so DH can smoke or I can use in the crockpot so we can have BBQ and meats for tacos, etc. As long as you order an amount that is equal to the mileage, they will deliver for free. Some farmers markets are still open and have rules to maintain safe social distance. The one near the airport is on gigantic acreage owned by the state and can separate farmers over the location. Others are limiting the # of customers who can go in a time. ETA: article: farmers market online and delivery...See Morekendal
