I've got to do something. She has now been relegated to only being in my bedroom, and that room is smelling like a urine factory. She's a house dog, so being outside is not an option.

Oh dear. Do the meds have a long-term side effect? Hope you find a solution soon.

Am I in corner no. 3?

Oh Carol. I’ve been up all night, bumping into walls as I wandered from one corner to the next. When you hide, you hide, don’t you? :eek: I’m just glad to have found my way back into the common area. Remind me not to play hide-and-seek with you ever again... :eek:
;)

I am sure if we all put our heads together we can come up with a solution. My second option I would suggest would be to have two blankets and beds which she can sleep on and or ly on. Then While the one is being washed she can use the other one, And I would put the bed and blanket on a plastic cover so that the urine will not go through to the floor. That way you could possibly control to some extent the clean up process and smell. On a daily basis. Unless that is too much work for you.

I need to diet. No more fast food.
You cannot afford to diet. But I would suggest that you perhaps say that you need to change your eating habits. You know that all the fast food junk could also be a problem causing your depression and it most certainly would not be helping your other medical issues. If you start putting healthier food (clean food) into your body, your system will start getting healthier and you will feel better. Exercise is also good for depression (I know it does not take it away but it does help your body to feel good and stay healthy). Here is what I have learnt so far, Eat healthy, lots of greens in our diet, with plenty variety (Just like a tortoise but maybe not the weeds ;)). No processed food etc. Exercise - even if it is to take a walk for 30min (But not a hurried walk because you are late, but a nice relaxing walk where you can unwind for the day - I like to do this and listen to music at the same time to put me in a good frame of mind). All helps you to feel better and helps your body to do the job that it needs to do, with a little less strain. Oops this turned into a lecture. Sorry. But still all good points to take note of.:<3::):tort::<3:

Welllllll, I came and sat in the common area after a while, because it was getting lonely hiding. It is much more fun when you get found. Glad you made it back in one piece. Did you by any chance happen to see if the woolspider does exist while you were wondering around?

Nope. All the snow is mine! Grr. Maybe if I collect enough, I’ll be able to make a snow tortoise someday.
:D
Seriously, no snow to speak of. Just -9C. :eek:

Good morning all. I had to leave the heating on last night. We have had another inch or so of snow. Currently -8C/17F

Excellent advice from Carol. Change what you eat to healthier things. :)

Good Morning All Roommates,
I hope everyone had a good nights sleep and feesl refreshed and ready for the new day. Happy Wednesday day to all my firends. Have a good one and not chat a little later.

Good morning Carol. It’s a bit too refreshing here. We dug the car out, but I need to warm up before doing the bird feeders

It is quite fascinating how the snow falls just right on the table and makes a perfect shape. Looks like polystyrene.LOL Still beautiful and the little bit of sunshine is so pretty. Picture postcard perfect.

I must admit that I cannot relate to having to dig a car out. Sounds like alot of hard work. That being the case who needs gym. Does your car start nicely once you have dug it out?

Yes, it was fine. The windscreen washers are probably frozen. We put a big plastic sheet over the windscreen so that’s easy to clear. Then all the snow needs to be cleared from the other windows, bonnet and roof otherwise it comes off when you’re driving and either you or the car behind you can’t see!

Then you have to remove all that snow from the round the car along with what fell as it tends to drift and pile up against the wheels.

Because it’s so cold, the snow is really powdery and squeaks as you walk on it. It’s much nicer than warmer, wetter snow!

My husband has colleagues from Delhi, India in the office this week. They’re very cold, but rather excited! :D

Sorry I kept you waiting. o_O It didn’t occur to me to come back and look in the common area. I didn’t see any spiders. I didn’t see much because it was dark, as it happens. But I did run into the one-legged pirate, who was wearing his wool socks. A pair of them, if I remember correctly, though after a drink he gave me, I might have been seeing double. :oops:
