Andy

sounds nice NOM

Both of you have to get used to the idea, that you have to occasionally go away. as you say he's not left alone, however you are his person and he misses you. He will get used to it don't worry. Just give him big cuddles when you get back

Did you get a job lot of Lamb. or have you been "scrumping" sheep in the dead of night

Don't feel bad. You have a life to live, and you revolve as much of it as you can around Dime. however "real life" such as your recent trip happens and dime can't understand why you went away. So he acts up. Your title is quite right he's being a stroppy teenager.

He's just reminding you that he is a thinking, reasoning being and that he doesn't want you becoming complacent. So occasionally he has to do something "Outrageous" to remind you. Could be he's unhappy about something and is 'misbehaving' to make you aware that he's not happy. Hmmmm let me think did you not go away and leave him for three full days recently ???????

Awww, why not ??

I bet you've done fine. We'll all toast to Storm the new supervisor at camp.

Excellent idea. Most of us can't wait for our furkids to stop blowing. and you're just the opposite. . . " Shed damn you, I need more wool. Have you seen the size of the floor this rug has to cover ????"

Enjoy the rest. and enjoy the reunion, they will be soooooooo happy to see you.

Hope all goes well. We had no problems with daughtry. Other than trying to keep her from dashing and leaping around and damaging her stitches.

on your achievements. And your english is excellent. (better than some native speaking, peeps on the forum. )

Oh, yeah, you'll need a full time Manc' translator when you're around Marc. Marc and I grew up in the same neighbourhood, went to the same primary school, (although 30 years or so different in time) and I struggle sometimes to understand Marc. . .

Good luck tomorrow on your new start

Well, what will happen is. . . . You'll need to attend to a call of nature, or. . . make a cup of tea / coffee so while you are out of the room Mia will shred all your books etc, so you then have no reason to ignore her completely reasonable demands for a nice 2 hour walk over leafy dale and hill.

Darwin (male) cocks his leg and pees on everything. Then Echo (female) follows behind peeing over the top cocking her leg or squatting whatever is needed to cover his scent. We see this as. . . Darwin claiming everything as 'His' and echo covering his scent, in case a predator should try to track him. She covers with her scent as strongest and most able to defend the pack they would track her.

Give it your best shot is all you can do. Going back. . . hmmm. . .nearly 2o years now I started behind the till of a BP petrol station. 2 years later I was manager of my own shop/station. Just for a deputy managers position you had to go for a 4 day assessment, role play, interviews with territory managers. Then to get to manager you had to do it all over again!!!! You can achieve anything you want. Just believe in yourself.

I would have thought diamond was female because we associate diamonds and all sparkly gemstones to be something you give or buy for females. Diamonds are a girls best friend and all that. . .

It's whatever you feel suits your dog. One of my girlies is called Daughtry after the rock singer Chris Daughtry and his band Also Daughtry. Now Chris and the band are all male. However a surname isn't gender specific so I can get away with calling her by that name.

Nice.

What do they hope to achieve. Pointless. I feel sad for the dead, injured and thier families.

yay more people, more huskies. MORE FUN.

Teach us how you tired them out. . . . please

Hope he fits in with your pack
