Tink's Mom · 08-17-2009, 06:07 PM

Hi everyone. We're home. Got in around 12:30 this morning, took Tink out of her carrier, put on my pjs and went straight to bed. 5:30 comes too early.

Anyway it's good to be home in my own bed. I think what took one day to pack is going to take a couple to unpack. I couldn't find my car keys after the plane landed so had to take a taxi to my office and unpack my suitcase and laptop case looking for them. I finally found them in the laptop case right where I has originally put them so they wouldn't get lost! Anyway it cost me an hour and 30 minutes...WAH!

Uncle Charlie, don't worry, Tink is wearing her pretty dresses to cover her nakedness. I'll get a picture of her in one of them this week and post it for you.

How is everyone doing?

First time I've checked out this thread. Interesting conversations.

Susie, it's great to hear from you. Think about you. Glad you're getting to move to TX. Poor Tink. She has such beautiful black hair. Thank Goodness it grows back. Guess it's a good excuse to go buy some cute little dresses. Also great that you have shed your walker and can walk without a cane on flat surfaces. Take care! ~Joanne~

Welcome home, Susie!

I hope you can take some time to r-e-l-a-x. Give Tink big hugs. Bernie can't wait to see her pic.

LOL, just put in my first two full days since June (getting things ready) and this full-time working wore me out.

Kathy, I hope Winston is still doing well. How's the new job going?

Deborah, seems like ages since I've run into you here. I hope all is well.

Joanne, on behalf of the TK crew, welcome, pull up a seat! Glad to see you here!

Hi everybody...things are simply fantastic here, Winston is 100% back to his normal self, thanks for your concern. I was plenty worried about him, it was so pitiful. Welcome home Susie! Tink, your beauty shines from within, I bet your mom has you looking sweet as ever. Hi Deborah..miss chatting with you...hugs to you and your wee ones. Judy the school year has just begun, hope it goes well and you get back into the routine soon. Welcome Joanne to TK...stick around, jump in and join us at any time.
My job at the clinic...I couldn't ask for better people to work with, but it is getting more hectic every single day. They are so very short handed, we are almost too busy, believe it or not. But I have to admit that I am finally content with my position, I really do love it there. Hope this finds you all doing well, hugs to all!!!

LOL..Hello TK and everyone on it. It has been pretty lonely around here. What's up?

Tink's Mom · 10-15-2009, 07:08 PM

No one has time for the TK gang anymore.

miabellaamoure · 10-15-2009, 07:10 PM

I'm here to say I killed the "Ban Thread" twice in one day...

omega · 10-16-2009, 07:23 AM

I haven't been doing much posting on any forum lately. Guess I'm just not in the mood. I'm still adjusting to my new place and trying to figure out what to do with barking Tinka.

I have tried so many things to get her to stop barking while I'm gone and nothing is working. Her time is going to be up soon if she doesn't stop cause the apartment next to me has been rented now. I am at my wits end here. I don't like no bark collars but if I could afford one, I probably would try one considering the alternatives.

We've had snow a couple of times but it melted by the next day. Very chilly weather for us in October...

Have you tried the cotronella collar? It sprays a mist towards their nose when they bark, it works well for some dogs and it's not as harsh as the ones that give them a shock. Oh, and no matter what they tell you about the shock collars just giving them a little 'buzz'...don't believe it...they can shock the witts out of your dog and it's not a nice thing to whitness.

I've seen those citronella collars but I can't stand the smell and the dog would smell like that anytime you use the collar.

I was reading an article on barking problems and they said that some of these products work well and others don't because of the personality of the dog. If the dog is extremely persistant (stubborn

) and more of the independent type, things like the ultra sonic things won't work. My Tinka is one like that... resistant to most everything - she just wants ME to be home with her.

I have to figure something out, I can't face another loss now.

Anyone have any other ideas?

wemple2 · 10-17-2009, 05:50 PM

Hi!!! Sorry to hear you're having problems with Tinka barking, hope you are able to get it under control. Does she only bark when you leave her? Winston only barks while looking out the window, so to prevent that while we're away from home, I have him gated in the kitchen, where he can not see out the windows. He has his bed, his food, water and a few choice toys. I'm pretty sure he just curls up in his bed and sleeps all day. Or you could try leaving a radio or TV on to silence noises she may be hearing from outside. Good luck, keep us posted...
