    Puppies completely melt my heart, but they're a nightmare to live with! I can quite understand why Ridgebacks would be intimidating to the smaller ones Dizzy. Muzzling when absent sounds a sensible way to compromise before you lose any more of your good stuff. My cousin has a Corgi that she reckoned did about $10,000 worth of damage (antiques) before she stopped chewing! The dog was known as The Crocodile in a Fur Coat.

    Oh my days - you guys have definitely put me off ever owning a dog.:rotfl:
    What do we do when we fall? We get up, dust ourselves off and start walking in the right direction again. Perhaps when we fall, it is easy to forget there are people along the way who help us stand and walk with us as we get back on track.

    Still craving chocolate :(

    I eat chocolate every day - about 150 to 200 calories worth so I feel your pain :o

    Hi everyone,


    I didn't have a great night last night but hopefully tonight will be better. I don't know why I feel that I 'deserve' to sleep 100% through on my first AF night. I think my expectations might be a bit high.


    It has been somewhat touch and go here, I nearly deviated to sainsbugs after work but managed to get back home without stopping. I felt kind of tired and disgruntled and wanted WINE NOW! but held fast and I felt a lot better after some goulash and rice had filled me up. HALT - certainly Hungry and Tired was enough to make it a struggle tonight. But I made it through. Skin of teeth job.


    I keep telling myself it will get easier - onward and upward.


    Sleep well everyone.


    PS Came back to say 4/21 please Shaggy!

    8/22 - horrid day today - too much to explain. I really wanted a drink by the time DH got home. He helped me abstain by driving me to his cousin's for a chat with his wife. Two big cuppas later, the boys get back from the gym and I'm feeling better.
