One of the dogs in the owners collection was a non-stop barker
at the first sign of anything. I forget the breed.

To shut her up once in a while, we'd put out a scoop of peanut
butter on a paper plate for her. She'd grab it and the paper
plate and finish it off, giving us a few minutes of silence. A
futile effort, we eventually concluded.

Twas fun to watch her walking blindly with a paper plate stuck
to her face.

Planned comedy and tragedy at the same time.

If you had kept her in a pumpkin shell rather than
a large jar you might still be married, y'know.

A leftover jar works well. Makes them have to work for it, and not get it
all at once. And they will till every last bit they can reach is gone. The
chusky I had would spend an hour with a plastic jar. He'd try and hold the
jar in his paws and it would bounce around and then he'd chase after it...
When he finally was done, I would slice it open so he could get what was
left at the bottom.

she hasn't yelled or swore even once since we got divorced. Better to have
our own places to retreat to, methinks... She borrowed my rug shampooer
yesterday and we watched Sullivan's Travels the other day. We should have
skipped getting married and just went straight to divorce.

The dog collection, consisting of two show-dog Borzois would've
amounted to murderous competition. It took Annabelle, our
littlest Jack Russel Terror, to keep them all in line.

Size up our little Annabelle next to the gigantic Borzois, who
coward to her, makes you wonder why nature unexplainably works
so mysteriously!!!

Go Annabelle, wherever you rule!

Then you would both have missed out on the relief factor.

and the lawyer fees. And family embarrassment when she mass emails
everyone... And the intense conversations for two years that ended in
crying, and then deciding we should split up; then after a few minutes
saying: we can make this work. we'll make this work.

getting rid of squirrels and raccoons in the attic is easier!

No doubt she had even more trouble getting rid of you than we do here. Poor
woman.

That's because you taught her that constant barking resulted in a reward.

And counting the number of his posts in a day is the mark of an asshole
intent on continuing to be an asshole.

in bed, yes... I mean, no. She's okay. We are film buddies now, and no
longer **** buddies Watch old movies together. I give her tomatoes from
the garden when I have extra, and she borrows the rug shampooer in exchange
for thin crust pizza.

telly with a stack of crackers and a jar of peanut butter.

Roasted peanuts have a pervasive attractive aroma.
You can attract many critters just as easily by frying bacon.
If you want to attract felines use tuna, don't even need to open the
can.
