That class looks great, Tom, I'm really glad you're going. Not least because it will lead to more Scola pictures for me to goggle at, yay!

Ack, I forgot I have a ton of beta to do for a Big Bang. ::pencils that in for the weekend::
My phone just pinged me: yay my new dog bed has been delivered! I ordered the really sturdy canvas dog-bed from LL Bean for TNG. No more cheap $15 beds from Cost Plus or Target! She better like it...

Tom, the class sounds like a very positive thing both in terms of practicalities and the decision to prioritize things you need, and I applaud you for it.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
so this dog I am sitting for an indefinite amount of time. she chews any bed previously given to her. She is sleeping in a crate with nothing in there. suggestions of what might work that would be a little soft. Outside I am not so worried because now while the temps are nice she can lay in the grass. Obviously if she is still here in the summer, I will fix some sort of shade situation. Actually if she is still here by the summer, she will be our dog and I will have a doggie door into the mudroom.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
You know what's a fun way to end a very long week? Having a government agency be completely wrong on the internet but figuring out the government agency was completely wrong on the internet AND how to work around the fact that the government agency was completely wrong on the internet but then realizing that the way the government agency was wrong on the internet was so WTF wrong that no one really understands and just thinks you didn't do things right.

Errr. If she chews everything, anything you put in there will be chewed. I suppose you could some rug scraps (like they sell cheap at Home Despot), and spray it with bitter apple...
Have you given her something else to chew, like a Nylabone? That might keep her occupied.

Tom, glad you are doing something for you.
Msbelle, I don't know. I had a friend whose dog chewed the plastic tray to their wire crate. What if you just put an old towel down and gave him a chew toy at the same time? In the long term most young dogs do seem to grow out of the terrible chewing phase, but that doesn't help you with now.
I have friends who have trained their border collie to bring anything to them for approval before he chews. But their daughter was a professional horse handler and worked with the dog a LOT as a pup, and they are home all the time and really big on giving the dog mental stimulation and jobs to do. (Their daughter is now studying for her B Ed and I joke that she's going to use animal techniques on the kids.)
Lee, I don't even know how to parse that.
Today may have been my laziest day ever.

Neither do the attorneys. That's part of the problem.
It may a librarian thing, since Flea got it.
Basically, the USPTO screwed up their online records so badly that I felt really proud of myself for unraveling it, but they screwed up their records in such an odd way it was impossible to explain, so it ended up looking like I was the one who messed up.
