We got HAMMERED

I took that advice to heart :-)

A shot of our deck yesterday morning....

Oh wow!!! I love it. I wish I could have one snow day. Are the dogs ok? Does snow get in their pens? Are you feeding the birds? Looks like you got around 10" or more.

I'd say it's closer to 6 to 8 inches of global warming :-)

The sibes are fine. The snow doesn't get in either their pens or dog houses. I put fresh cedar chips in them last week but the sibes still prefer to sleep out in the snow. I'm not kidding...that's where they were this morning when I took them fresh water and food.

And yes, we're feeding the birds and have a heated water bath out there too.

Heated water bath? You're my kinda guy. Been telling my parents to get one for 10 years.

PS I don't blame the dogs for not wanting to sleep on hard wood chips....

The bird bath is located just outside of a large bay window and provides entertainment for the cats who love sitting on the inside ledge of that window and watching the birds :-)

I don't blame the dogs for not wanting to sleep on hard wood chips. Them sleeping on the snow should be your first hint. Why not get them some fleece blankets. They're not livestock and it would help them retain body heat, much like snow does. Who sold you wood chips? They're for the flower beds.

Its not big chunks of wood you dimwit. It's cedar shavings that are sold for pet bedding.

Here is an update for you since you're so fuckin' nosey........it is snowing and they slept in their dog houses last night

They're not hamsters you assclown.

And you're the one who called them wood CHIPS not shavings but IRregardless they should have some old army blankets out there. Now get your ass in the car & go to Big Lots or K Mart and splurge $4.00 each on some fleece throws. Poor dogs.


The Problem with Cedar and Pine Shavings as Pet Bedding and Litter

Cedar and pine shavings are commonly available pet bedding products - but are they
harmful to the very animals for which they are intended?

Cedar and pine became popular for pet bedding material because they are good at
controlling odor and have some natural insecticidal properties (they kill or repel bugs,
especially cedar). These softwood shavings smell nice due to the volatile compounds
(e.g. aromatic hydrocarbons, phenols) that are given off. Unfortunately these
compounds have been implicated as a potential health risk, especially with regards to
respiratory problems (asthma, inflammation, allergic responses) and changes in the
liver.

Many of the studies on wood toxicity have actually been conducted on humans, who
are exposed to these woods and their by products in the wood product industry (such
as those who work in lumber mills who are exposed to lots of wood dust), and these
studies often compare the incidence of disease in workers in the wood product industry
compared to other workers or the average population.

Studies of laboratory animals have shown fairly dramatic changes in liver enzymes on
animals housed on cedar bedding. This in turn can effect the metabolism of drugs
including anesthetics, but a direct link between these changes and disease or clinical
symptoms hasn't been as clear.

However, based on the studies that implicate the compounds in allergic and respiratory
diseases as well as the impact on liver enzymes, it seems prudent to avoid cedar
shavings as bedding or litter, especially since alternatives are available.
With pine shavings, the problem isn't quite as clear cut. Pine shavings emit similar
volatile compounds but the risks aren't as clear. Many say that drying the shavings
releases most of the volatile compounds, so that products such as kiln dried pine are
safe.

Mind your own fuckin business Grace. I've been using cedar for over 30 years now with good success.....don't believe everything you read on the net.

Blankets? Yeah, that'd work out really well during snow and rain when they'd track the shmud and snow back into the house an on to the blankets.

ROFL. 30 years is nothin. Talk to me after 50. And I'll take your advice and not believe everything I read on the net starting with you.




Have two sets of blankets and replace the wet ones with warm and fuzzy ones when needed. Sheesh I have to teach you everything.

Bottom line is that these are MY dogs and I'll take care of them as I see fit.

Cedar chips(shavings) it is. I'm not going to change blankets daily

Story of your life (and stevies)

guess that beats getting slammed like you huh?

Never had anyone get the upper hand in a bout, unlike you and you son. Did you video stevies beating..?

yeah sure...you've never competed and now you have never been beat....you are pathetic....and getting hammered is still better than getting nailed I bet you disagree though. Now go play in traffic you fuckin useless piece of skin.

Well, never had a competitive cage fight but I have competed in kick boxing some moons ago. All the same, loser, I have been in many scrapes, you know, them without the chance to tap out. I have never taken a beating fatty, competitive or not.

As it goes, you have never competed have you son? No you never made it because you got old too fast and dropped apart

Go call for your loser of a son and go find a gofa to pick on, just about all you two losers can handle.

I think you are a fucking liar...I mean we all KNOW you are a liar but I mean on the training part. First you have never competed but you only train....now you have competed but only in kick boxing...and oh yeah you have never had someone get the upper hand. That alone tells me you are a fucking liar about even training!!! And of course lets not forget multiple stab wounds and still fighting off two attackers....I got news for you X... getting one shoved up your ass over and over is not considered multiple stab wounds you dumb fuck.
And yes, I fought three judo matches in the same day in a tournament...won all three.

Well I have some news for you son, you are not very adept at spin. The subject of competing in the context it was written was competitive CAGE fighting. I have some more news for you, I've never even had a cage fight but over the years I have competed in matches. JUDO is for faggots.

You have never competed in any recognised Judo tournament, cage fight or any other discipline because you are knackered. So it still boils down to what we have to go on, you dropped apart and little stevie got his ass kicked.

Just face it, you are not fighters.

Lying cock sucker. ANYONE who has ever trained has lost. Otherwise you are learning nothing. The statement that you have never had anyone get the upper hand proves you are completely full of shit. And as usual lying your cock loving ass off.

One more thing...All of these scrapes you've been in...were these played out in your head while you sent your wife and other women in to do the dirty work while you hid in the van?
