I totally freaked a couple years ago when I saw my male lifting a leg on the tree. Actually he did it at least once before that because... well, let's not go there.
Anyhow, that's when I went to 4-foot tree on a table with a nice long skirt. The only consequence now is my female tries to make a bed in the skirt that drapes a foot or so on the floor...
Funny how our lives revolve around our animals... OR ELSE!! ;-)

HAHAHA, so that tells me they went
you're so funny.....
this kinda tells me that Tommy Chen's specifically went and sought out cats/dogs to serve up to the public...OMG - I'm nauseated...
I love Asian food today but I never order chicken in Chinese restaurants...I'l order shrimp because a shrimp looks like a shrimp....cannot be something else made to look like a shrimp.......*lol* Also, eating lots of Thai these days, versus Chinese....because I never got over what THEY did up there in NY....and I'm older than dirt *laughs*
hahaha, I just went through the same thing....
I have had larger dogs most of my life. I can't think of what size a pekinese is, but I had 2 huskies prior, and they both actually potty trained within a month. I now have a small dog, part chihuahua and part yorkie, and let me tell you, its been HARD. But, I think we were "set back" a bit because we got him from someone else, a woman who was pregnant and decided after she had the puppy for 8 weeks that it was going to be too much to have a puppy and newborn, and 2 other kids, so I took the puppy as my son has been begging for a dog for a couple of years. First time I had to potty train a small dog. I learned through a lot of reading online and talking to my cousin who has 4 small dogs, that because of their smaller bladders, its easier to start off by getting in the habit of taking them out often at first, and time when you feed/water them to when you take them out. My cousin told me to take out the puppy soon after feeding/watering, and then a couple of hours after that, an hour to 2 hrs afterward...then slowly lengthen the time in between taking the puppy out, reward with either a treat or just a cheery sounding voice and a good petting when the potty was done, and make sure to say "potty" or "outside potty" or whatever phrase you want to associate with going outside to potty. I haven't figured out how to get him to tell me by going to the door when he has to go, but hopefully that will come. When I got him, he was using piddle pads, but his crate was stinky when I got him, and I found out he was peeing in his crate during the night, the previous owner wasn't letting him out at all at night and was told by other dog owners that he probably got used to having to go in there, and I find that now if there is a blanket on the floor, he will go on the blanket, because he had a blanket in his crate to sleep in. I removed the blanket from his crate, and for a while I would take him out after 4 hrs into the night, and he stopped messing in his crate. He now can go 7-8 hours through the night without going potty if I don't feed him an hour or 2 before bedtime. I take him out to potty before bed, and first thing when I get him in the morning out of his crate we go out to the yard for him to potty. He still has accidents if I don't watch him, and I've been told its because of his smaller bladder, I'm not sure as I have never had a small dog before him. I live in an apartment without a fenced in yard or patio, so when I got a new MT job and had to train in-house for the first 3 months, I had him in our utility room because it was the only room with a linoleum floor versus carpet, aside from our small bathroom. The utility room is as big as one of the bedrooms, which we live in a small apartment, so while I was at work, I put his crate in the room, his food and water bowl, and on the other side of the room I put down newspaper and he did fine...and now I find that now that I'm back home, he will scratch on the utility room door (which I now usually keep closed) and if I don't take him out, he will piddle in front of the door, so I think he now thinks that's his potty place, haha. I had to put him in that room, though. So, now I keep newspaper or piddle pads on the floor in the utility room in the corner in case I don't catch him (I'm a single mom, so sometimes I don't hear when he's scratching as I'm doing other things), and that way he can just go in the room. So far he's been fine with this, but I can't figure out how to get him to scratch on the outside door instead since most of the time that's where he does go potty is outside.
He is 1 year old now, and rarely makes any messes unless I have the utility room closed and don't pay attention to the time.
hahaha, same thing here!
I have friends call me while I'm working asking to babysit their kid! I'm like "umm, I'm WORKING!" one job I had, we had to have yahoo messenger on as that was how they contacted us during our shift if they needed something, well I had this one friend constantly send me messages, and even if I was invisible to everyone but my work, she knew I was working and don't answer my phone, so she would just keep messaging, and if I didn't answer, she'd be constantly sending messages. I eventually had to change my user name to have one just for work so I didn't get any more interruptions from her. People just don't seem to understand that just because you're at home doesn't mean you don't have hours to keep and work to do.
My dad understands, he works from home sometimes through his line of work, so he is about the only person that knows to leave me alone.
As far as schedule and stuff for the OP, when I started working, I had a spare bedroom that I used for work, it was my office, and I was able to get more done when I treated it strictly as a work place, only went in there to work and only left during a lunch or potty break, lol, until I was done with my shift. But, now in my small apartment, I don't have a spare room, so now I have it out in the open, its harder for even me to keep away from doing things like laundry...so I do understand. I work midnights now so its a little easier, I live in an apartment so I cant have my washing machine running during the nights because it would wake up the neighbor, lol....
I hope you find a schedule that works for you!
HAHAHA- Wait until you hit menopause.SM
forgetfulness - returns in middle age to late middle age - happens to many/most w/menopause - you will become forgetful....*lolol*
and there is no escape unless, of course, you CHOOSE to take hormonal replacement therapy - which many have not and do not today due to the other very severe problems HRT causes...
YO - but a shout out to you - BEST OF LUCK IN YOUR MID 40s-50s......and 60s-70s w/that forgetfulness. *roflmao* and it doesn't get better into your 80s and 90s either. THINK ABOUT IT....*lol*
Your problem seems to be that you leave ABSOLUTELY no room for error, and it's all gonna come back and slap you in the face in a decade or two or three. I promise this - I don't wish it on you.....but it's KARMA -
KARMA - very much like a kinahura (spelling is wrong but YOU know what I mean) equates to what goes around, comes back around, and bites you right on the face (or in the tuchas.......take your pick)......
  
HAHAHA! Okay, get off mommy's computer now, please. nm

HAHAHA Aint that the truth!

I love you! hahaha I love your response! You can come over here sm
and kick my butt the next time I "allow" my husband to make me feel crap for whatever reason - which there seems to be many - he wouldn't complain if I made more money than him because his lazy behind wants to stay home and do nothing all day except to play golf. He tells me all the time, "when are you going to own your MT business so I can golf all day."
But, he is very mean, also. He hurts my feelings constantly and doesn't even care. He makes me drive around in his truck with bald tires and I don't like doing that for fear of a blow out and he'll just tell me, "well, don't go anywhere then." We have the money in the bank to get new tires, but he won't get them.
I love your comment, though!
And for all of you who will say, "well, leave the jerk!" It isn't that easy. We have 3 boys and I would be homeless. I only make 300 every 2 weeks MTing. We have a lovely home with a lot of space and besides him living here, the kids and I LOVE it and love each other so much.
