I dreamt of a cat of ours that passed away, and it was the best dream ever. We hung out and played and cuddled and I felt sad because I knew it was a dream but still. I was happy he came to visit me. and that he was ok.
I can usually resume dreams or nightmares where I left off when I wake up, by thinking exactly about what happened and trying to sleep immediately.
But the dream with our cat I couldn’t. I don’t know why. I haven’t dreamed of him since. But it really seemed like our cat. Not me dreaming of him. But him coming into my dreams.

 

Yes I always feel good when Luc comes to me in my dreams. It’s nice even when I wake up!

 

Another tip.. have a sandy area directly outside the back door and a ploughed field with a creek just behind it! Oh and make sure to add a Mal and a GSD to that mix. You must also ensure that they get the opportunity to run laps in all of those places daily and you can have your own indoor sandbox…. For added bonus make sure the Mal teaches himself to get in and out of the fenced pool without human assistance lol then you also get water spotted everything.

Stay tuned for more tricks and tips.

 

I know, I cringe when I go to someone's house, who don't have pets of any kind, and their home is SPOTLESS, and a place for everything, and everything in it's place, I doubt they even have a "Junk Drawer" I feel so out of place.

 

You obviously are welcome any time at my house. 😉

 

We surrendered. Become one with the Earth, the mother of all dirt.

 

One good thing about winter is less dog hair and no mud.When their tails get wet and they come indoors it gets splattered everywhere.My stupid dogs just have to be happy and wagging their stupid tails. DH won't wipe them down when he takes them out:-( Some days I feel one with the earth too...

 

I didn’t realize my house was dirty until we had a family health issue and I had to deep clean. I removed so much dirt that I never saw. If you want a dirty home, it helps to not notice dirt. Otherwise you might be tempted to clean it all the time. Now that I’ve started cleaning, I’m attacking every room, one at a time. My house will never be fully filthy again.

 

it wasn't a bot. I think I had my VPN on or something. I had to relog in and redo my settings, etc. This site doesn't like VPNs.
In the meantime, I woke up this morning by my dream telling me I had to let the dogs out. So I let out a whole big pack of mixed breeds, then heard the real tapping toenails of my gal-dog pacing by the bed.

oh no….. i most definitely banned you 😆

 

Homes in movies are annoyingly clean, even their barns and attics. I aways compare them to my home. I would not like to miss the hairballs or foot prints on the floor. Last night my hubby commented that my socks looked extra cozy. I checked and they were covered in hair. We both smiled and continued watching the movie.
So here's my tip: don't wear slippers or shoes inside. Walk on socks 😅

 

Movie homes aren’t real homes. They are either stage sets or they rent out a house to film in. Before they film ina private home, they make sure it’s clean and they may even refurnish. You never see an average home in a movie.

 

Someone banned the bots on the other thread just when they started talking to each other. I wanted to ask them which is better “slope back” or “straightback”. We could finally have got an answer.

 

Sloped backs are obviously better at jumping since they're already pointing up.....

 

pro tip, do your work where there is a good breeze and it should blow all that dirt and hair away. unless your dogs are upwind.

 

I just delay cleaning up until after my dogs nap. That way I get the feeling I’m at the beach for a while and then I can clean up all the mud and sand later.

 

Nitro came with a self-cleaning function

 

A friend once gave me a really nice air freshener spray. Afterwards I wondered .....

 

For a really autumnal feel in the home, take your coatie to a place with lots of shedding trees and later enjoy the sound of crunching leaves in your hallway...
