Matt Jones is just too silly today. Turned it off.

wonder if this counts my daughter's situation?
she isn't married, but they live together and have for almost 6 years.
I don't care for it either
but have to ask myself - if it were MY son, what would I want for him? The argument about getting an education is kind of a silly one. These players can make so much more than your average college graduate, even if going overseas, and can always come back to school over summers, or do online courses.
OTOH, the ones leaving who are not ready - and don't have a chance. We do treat them as if they're failures, almost, if they're not these spectacular players in the first or second year. If you've read message boards, twitter, etc - the way the players are talked about if they're not Wall or Davis is ridiculous. Why wouldn't they want to go and prove they're close to being those guys?
A lot of couples do that.
yeah they do - not exactly the situation I would have wanted; but they seem to be happy, and they ARE married in all but name.
Canadian Geese mate for life too. Some prick killed one in the road in front of our office once in Lawrenceville. It's mate was pitiful.
Lola is home. The incision is about one inch. Poor little thing. They want her to wear a cone for a few days. Isn't it a natural thing for dogs to lick a wound? None of our other dogs had to wear one. No infection no problems. What do you recommend?
The cone is to keep them from reopening the wound which would open it to infection. We got a inflatable neck collar for the German Shepherd when he had ACL surgery and it kept him from getting to it and allows way more freedom of movement than a plastic cone, after a few minutes he didn't even notice.
we had Charlie fixed almost a month ago - vet said a cone wasn't needed - his incision was larger than an inch, easisly
are her stitches dissolvable ones?
that's pretty cool - have never seen one for dogs; it makes sense thoughThe cone is to keep them from reopening the wound which would open it to infection.

Don's pup is tiny though - only about 6 lb...
I remember well back in the late seventies when I was "fixed" that cone lasted maybe three days then eff it....you can forget wearing anything pullover, strictly buttons only. I took it off and threw the dang thing away so they could not re install...
hmmm, wish I had known about that before Charlie had his surgery (he's a Jack Russell mix)They had smaller ones at PetSmart. Walmart has this one which would probably work....
Don - this looks to be much better than a cone for Lola
A little Buckethead 
Depends on the animal, some don't care, some freak.Try it first at least till it scabs and the anesthesia wears off. Then remove when she starts wanting to play and watch, a little licking won't hurt, it's natural, distract with play, clean AROUND the wound gently with peroxide. She'll heal fast. Either type will work. User preference.

I wear one similar to this for sleeping on an airplane.

Buddy actually got used to it and now I've got to put it on every night for sleep or he'll have a fit. I bet Charlie was a mess with that cone, those little guys(JRs) are as persistent as it gets.
In the cone he was basically snapping at the air and growling at it.
I have a pair of shorties

at Buddy - that's awesomeyeah, we had some issues - and yes, he's a persistent little chit and too smart for his own good. But he's healed up nicely and seems to be doing fine now. Although, we get these looks sometimes like "what did you do to me, and why?"
feel kinda guilty
Afternoon folks. Wonderful day here around 80 and sunny. I gotta get off my ass and do something.
Yes. She was asleep when I left.
6.15 today. She is tiny tiny.
I agree. I will discuss this with Lola's mother.
Talked to Lola's mom, QB. Lola peed a huge puddle when she went to find a big towel to help handle her so she didn't get bitten. Lola is getting real sore I would imagine. QB's going to PS to get an inflatable collar asap.
Does Lola always bite QB or just now bc she's irritated? Did you encourage Lola to bite her? She seemed so sweet and innocent.
Ha ha. Lola is getting sore from the incision and from the chip implant. It's just reflex associated with the pain she is feeling. She loves QB.
Shew, ok. I thought QB was bossin her and Lola wasn't taking her crap anymore.
Lola and I say there sure are a lot of rules.
You'd take it if you wanted to keep living in a nice clean house,
From the world famous break-room: Hot Italian sausage and pasta in a red sauce, small piece of garlic bread and a nice tossed salad. Tasty..
Lola's Rules
- Whatever Lola wants, Lola gets.
- See rule number 1.
QB just sent a pic of Lola. tuckered out and asleep in her playpen. Poor sore baby.
I am done for the day. Front yard is looking quite spiffy if I say so myself. Need to paint the shutters. I've never done that but it must suck. Old dude at the golf course laughed when I told him I was going to and told me to just buy new shutters.
I've sprayed them with the pressure washer and knocked off the loose paint. I'll spray them with some Kilz and then whatever color she wants.
Trimmed all the bushes, hedges, and shrubs today. I love electric tools.
I did the dishes from the weekend as well. Two people can sure dirty up a bunch of dishes when one of them doesn't have to worry about washing them.

Just finished this book. Excellent BUT brutal as hell. Not for everybody.
