Tis' time for an update.

It's been a twisted and upsetting... yet enlightening few months.

Tim and I broke up after 2 years of dating and called off the engagement. It was probably the most difficult experience I've ever been though... yet best thing to happen now that I took some time to process, reflect and move on. He finally is moving his stuff out, I'm getting a new roommate and I'm loving the freedom of doing whatever I want to do, whenever I feel like doing it.

I did manage to lose my weight! I got down to 110. I took a vegetarian pledge for PETA for the month of June and I'm going to continue to be vegetarian... well a Pescetarian, I love my fish. smile

And I adopted a new love of my life 3 weeks ago - Tobias (named after our favorite never-nude). He appears to be an American Bulldog/Dalmation mix and he's about 56 pounds. I love him, even though he is endlessly demanding with his teenage years energy and ADD. He knows sit, stay, lie down, and come and is pretty housebroken.

Doggy advice needed:
• I've been trying to take him to the park but he tramples over the little dogs with his clumsiness and tries to hump everyone else.
* I put him out back to go potty and he's great, however when I put him back there for more than a few minutes when I'm busy and can't watch him that second, he will bark and yip and whine. I try to ignore it until I'm ready to let him back in but I'm afraid I'll annoy my neighbors.
* He tries to get up on the table and counters. I say no or make a sharp noise to get him down but he still tries when I'm not looking
* He has a TON of energy. How long should I walk him?

That is all for now, peekture time!

Hmmm...dogs aren't my forte. But, I know my parents will give their dogs rawhide chews to keep them occupied for a while when they put them out in the backyard.

My ex put tabasco all over the kitchen counter and that stopped the cats from jumping up there for a while.

You can also buy a scat mat - it runs on a 9 volt battery and gives them a little shock when they step on it. I got mine at PetsMart. A little spendy though, and may not fit the area you need. Check online for sizes and prices.

awwwww look at that punim,hes your special boy....
god i know the feeling about having a puppy,i got a wiener dog(cuz i cant spell dachshund that well,and it doesnt sound as funny)
he was born back in november of last year and GOD sometimes i wanna turn him into a wiener dog slipper sometimes!!!!!lol but i love the little bastard.
with me changing diesel tires ten hours a day i really dont have the time or energy to potty train him.
im waiting on my "stimulus" check to see about paying someone to train his fuzzy ass.
when i go off to work i put him in my bathroom with one of those little fences so hes not closed in.
i read your supposed to put them in a cage or one of those dog carriers but i feel bad.
well,all i can say is look up http://dogs.about.com/
and http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/index.htm
they tell you the back ground of your dog what personality they have and what not.
they say wiener dogs can be very stubborn,and well,i guess we were meant for eachother cuz so am i.lol.
so take care alexis.
ARRR!!!

Hey there! Sounds like tumultuous times in the land of Alexis...sorry to hear about all the nasty breakup business. While it is good to hear from you again after such a long break, it stink that it has to start out on such a sad note. You two seemed really happy together.

New day and new opportunities, though, right? There is still a great big world out there to discover...
