Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

I had a professor once back at comm. college. He teaches astrology there and he IS weird. Every day, he never misses coming to school in this red knitted sweater. He has neck-length gray hair that I think he gels back, and he always had a habit of making corny astrology jokes. He was a good professor though, I learned a lot from his class.

no lol.

She's cage trained for when we are at school, but if we are home she roams free. We try to come home in between every class that we can so she's never in her cage for more than a couple hours at a time. She's a beagle, so she's pretty small, and when we took her to the vet for her shots and things the vet said she was an unusually small beagle. She's really good, she's completely paper trained and never barks or bays, it's like she doesn't know how to or can't, somehow. She never bites, never chews on our stuff (but she does get into the trash, she's being really stubborn about that. I sprinkled cayenne pepper in the trashes to try to discourage her because nothing else seems to be working so far) and she loves to snuggle and cuddle. The only thing I wish we could do different at all was take her for walks and have a yard for her to play in. Here's a pic of her, actually:

Edit: spoiler tags because that was a huge pic o.o

Sounds a lot like an economics prof. I had. He used to put TLC lyrics on his exams and ask us to break down the economic principles being displayed.

still looks like a puppy to me lol

Yeah, that pic was taken right after we got her. Let me find a more recent one rq!

ooooo goodie.
i love beagles lol.
so lovable.

I HATED MY URBAN MIGRATION SOCIOLOGY CLASS!

*** knows why I took that class. It was my last semester before getting my BS and I was like *** it. I even picked an Ele Jap class but dropped it saying "If I wanted to learn how to draw houses, I would have taken an arts class."

Now after reading this I have to go and teach my class....I wonder what they are all thinking about me now /paranoid

Here we go, a couple more recent ones:

She's really small.

Liela's puppy is cute ^^

She's really cute =D

Usually black pepper works better than cayenne--not as hot, and bigger grains. At least, that's my experience.

My advice would be to try constructing a pen rather than using a cage. In a cage, she's just going to sit all day, and even if she plays, it's not going to escalate very far past sitting and chewing on something.

With a pen, she won't feel so cooped up and she'll be able to actually move around. I use stuff like this and zip tie the squares together to make a fence in the corner of the room, or separating two rooms. It folds up nicely as well, but requires a bit of creativity to make it work in your place.

Edit: Those shelves come in pieces, giving you 16 square fence-like grids to work with (iirc).

Ooh, that's an awesome idea! Thanks Wombat :D I think she'd really like that!

Meh I dunno about sprinkling pepper in the trash to keep em at bay...seems like you aren't directly addressing the dogie with that :D
But if you are doing more than just that I'd say it should work. :D
I'm one of those Caesar Milan believers that think that personifying your pets(treating them like people is a bit wrong..not saying that you fit that bill, just the only way i can think to describe it atm lol)

most of the guys probably wanna *** you and some of the girls think you're a ***. (if you teach at the high school or higher level)

Sure thing!
Yeah, the pepper will only work if it's consistent and the dog actually associates it with going in the garbage. Some dogs miss the point, but beagles tend to be quick about things.

We've tried scolding and spanking so far to keep her out of the trash, and after sprinkling the cayenne in it we're still scolding 'No!' every time she sticks her nose in. If the cayenne coupled with scolds and spanks still doesn't work, I'll definitely try the black pepper. If that doesn't work, maybe we will have to get trash cans with heavy lids. :-( But I'd rather teach her not to do it then just make it so she can't do it.

thats a tiny *** Beagle, but a cute lil bugger.

speaking of dogs, these are my boys... Max (left) and Simba (right)

Oh Kungfuhustle! They are adorable! <3

Dogs are so driven by scent (especially beagles), that the garbage is pretty much the most exciting thing in the house. Some dogs just can't resist, no matter what the consequences. =/

I had a dog growing up who was super well-behaved. But, even at 15 years old and half-blind, she'd dump over the garbage if we left the house with the garbage can out, lol. She'd be sitting right by it, sad-facin' when we got home. =P

thanks, they're my little idiots. They do like to get dirty with the neighborhood pigs though, which I wouldn't mind if they won't fly through the house covered in mud/***.

Aww, lol, sad-faced dog. She must have known it was wrong and just couldn't resist. That's kinda cute and sweet but not all at the same time.

Simba is especially cute. Look at those fluffy little ears! Irresistible!

my dogie died last year :(
he was a german shepard chocolate lab mix.

Random thought...

The Spanish dude that just sat down in front of my office has them skin tight jeans on. I'm sure he thinks he looks cool even though he's imminent *** pounding will come if he keeps bending over.

nah. he can run fast.

hey, the gay men down here have proven to be fast, almost as fast as me. I doubt he'd get away when they pants him. Oh the horror he will face.

The problem is this.
the spanish dudes slick down their whole backside, hence wetback.

/comfort ;;
I had a Bichon Frise (my mom is obsessed with being French >.>) growing up. Had her from my fourth birthday until I was nineteen. So, she passed away about four years ago... still bummed about it, lol.
