Has anyone moved 3 older dogs in together? sm

I recently got married and have a 7-year-old female terrier-cocker spaniel, and my new husband has a 7-year-old male cocker spaniel and an 11-year-old female lab retriever. My dog has become more aggressive against the other 2 dogs, especially over the past week, where she's not wanting them to eat or drink. We've separated their feed/drink areas but she's still being aggressive with them. So far she hasn't bitten one of the other dogs but has come very close to it with their fighting. Fortunately his dogs only fight back when she actually attacks them and ignore her when she's just growling and barking at them, so that cuts down on the number of dog fights.

Nebraska last July. (We actually lived in Gresham.) I really miss Oregon so much! I worked at Kaiser and loved it there.

I thought the program at Mt. Hood Community College was really great. It really prepared a new MT.

:) Are you from the Portland area? If you went to the AAMT convention last May I was there! My first convention. It was fun.

I want to know this because my fiancee is in the military and will be going to the UK for a few months and I want to go with him but keep my job. Is this even possible?

Sounds like you need to find a good one, #1, and #2, one who really specializes in the cervical spine (mine does - he does it all, but he really specialiizes in the head and neck).

We just bought a house and moved out of a renal townhome that is owned by a huge property management company. I always always go the extra mile to make sure I leave a place clean, way more than a lot of people. I spent hours cleaning and we didn't leave a single speck of anything in that house. The carpets were immaculate because we had plastic runns in the high traffic areas, etc. I scrubbed baseboards, window sills, floors, painted over all the scratches and nail holes (same paint), everything. Got our refund yesterday on the deposit and they charged us for ELEVEN HOURS of cleaning. In the description they said that this that and the other thing was VERY dirty, counter tops being one thing. I swear I scoured the counters with cleanser not long before I finished the job. I find it very offensive to have all these things listed as VERY dirty. They're full of you know what. Do you think it's just a racket to ding you for more money? They also charged us 160 dollars to shampoo those perfectly clean carpets. It seems like cleaning that is not beyond the usual amount should be THEIR responsibility as part of the business of renting out their units. They just want to pass on everything including routine maintenence onto their tenants. Just had to vent.

When my PC-Dart finally crashed, I went with an Orator and now use DocShuttle and FTP site to get my voice files.

Hey Blondee,

What language did you're folks speak before they came here to the great melting pot?....Did they come through Ellis Island, Angel Island, on the Mayflower or in the bottom of a ship in shackles...We're all immigrants....unless, of course, you're a Native American or Inuit.

I speak a few languages and had gotten called outta my office at any given time to translate in the ER or OR. If it helped to save someone's life and/or calm a family's nerves, that was cool with me.

It would be nice if everyone just spoke the king's English.

Theodore Roosevelt on Immigrants and being an AMERICAN

Are we "SLOW LEARNERS" or what?

Theodore Roosevelt on Immigrants and being an AMERICAN

"In the first place we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the man's becoming in very fact an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag, and this excludes the red flag, which symbolizes all wars against liberty and civilization, just as much as it excludes any foreign flag of a nation to which we are hostile...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

Theodore Roosevelt 1907

Okay, that's frustrating. Anyhoo, the regs for setting up corporations vary from state to state and it also varies as to what kind of corporation you can set up.

I set up an LLC for something and I used legalzoom.com. It cost a couple hundred bucks, but it was well worth it for me. I got all the completed paperwork back in about 6 weeks or so and I didn't have to worry whether I had dotted and crossed everything that needed dotted and crossed.

If you're in or near your state capital you can go to the Secretary of State's office and they can probably help you as well.

How old is John Travolta anyway. He was so cute in Grease too. Loved his dancing and now I just wonder if he has the same moves since he gained weight. He didn't look all that bloated in Pulp Fiction either. It's just lately he has looked too heavy for his frame.

I can assure you that I'm not an older woman. Thirty is not old. I still get carded buying alcohol. I've never bleached my naturally blonde hair either. The clothes aren't skimpy. I have full coverage with nothing hanging out. I certainly don't shop in the plus or women sized departments either. It's just a change from slob mode, which is the point I was trying to make. Women will feel and look younger by taking a few moments to care about their appearance. Try some trendier clothes, a new hairstyle, a touch of makeup. Besides, if I was a fat, ugly, old lady as you're implying, troll, hubby would tell me. He's the one who didn't like my "comfortable" work clothes to begin with.

than your older children.....25 and 23....didn't want you to think I'm a real old biddie....*lol*

Hope you resolve things....sounds like a family therapy would help solve because if you don't resolve....these buildups you get....will continue until you die. Best get into some therapy - it works WONDERS if one applies it! *S*

Sorry if I offended you, I was joking because I'm older and I do read many blogger sites of much older, more journalistic type writers, and famous people who are also bloggers.

I got less than a decade on you but it starts happening around 40+ (*winks at the 39 y/o poster) and it happens. At 40, I started writing down lists, whereas prior I never needed a list (to go shopping, let's say). About halfway through my 40s, it was "where are my keys and/or my eyeglasses" things. I talked to a bunch of women who confirmed this (older than me). Now, I do the room - "why did I just walk in here?" - thing.

I try not to worry about it. I had a dad (who died nearly 2 years ago at a very old age and more than twice my age *S*) whose short-term memory was not great from his 60s on into his 90s, but his long-term memory was so EXCELLENT that he could tell you a story about a horse, his neighborhood, and a situation that he experienced at 5 years old (an emotional trauma) with such clarity and lucency, you could picture the entire situation yourself. That, in and of itself, amazed many!

So, don't beat yourselves up about this stuff. There are lots of books out about this very subject. When you think about these things, well....what's the alternative? (I'm thinking some extra serotonin *LOL*) - but really, these things will occur and I'm not choosing the alternative, that's a given (i.e., death). *LOL* So, I'll live with these challenging things happening and try not to kick myself every time I mess up.

I will tell you I am much better about my keys and eyeglasses today because I made places for them to sit (if I remember to not toss them wherever *LOL*)
