I hate that when that happens!!! Time to get out that can of that 20' shot bee spray after you find their nest.

Forget the spray! You'd need a bomb to get rid of all the little bastards in my yard!

:-( I feel your pain. It was like that when we lived in the farmhouse.

I am surrounded by woods, so I also get mosquitoes, wasps, hornets, horeseflies, deerflies...

Living in the country has its downsides.

I grew up in the country, lived in the city for 3 years. Worst 3 years of my life which included an ill fated first marriage. I'll take the occasional bee or wasp over ANY anal orifice with their boom boxes walking their pit bulls on a chain & stealing from my yard, ANY DAY.

hey hey hey! just cuz their walking pits dont make them dangerous. but then again the stealing i understand. come to Temecula, California. nothing exciting EVER happens here unless the grape vineyards dried up. lol

I know some wonderful Pit bulls and some wonderful owners who use their dogs in therapy work. But I have seen some bad ones and what's left of their stolen 'bait' dogs. Someone's pet. I used to find them in the park I lived right across from a lot.

i get that but its the owners that made them that way, not the dogs. to be honest, dogs sometimes don't have a mind of their own, so what their owners tell them, they think its right. no reason to blame the dogs.

Peewee to TheAven... 2012/06/16 21:46:13

most of the time....there are bad dogs out there. Some are broke beyond repair, some are just plain bad tempered. Those are the ones we have to make the sad decision to euthanize and not put up for adoption. I founded a breed rescue group in the late '90s.

reply
TheAven... to Peewee 2012/06/17 20:52:33

they may be bad tempered, but that might be because of a brutal past. dogs arent just BORN that way.

reply
Peewee to TheAven... 2012/06/18 01:21:23

It's rare, but it DOES happen. Just like there are evil people. It mostly comes from people who are breeding for color or type and money rather than temperament and health and bettering the breed.

reply
TheAven... to Peewee 2012/06/19 03:10:41

i'm sorry but i don't believe in that. i've never known dogs to be that way, so i don't believe they can be.and if they are, i don't believe they were born that way either.

reply
Peewee to TheAven... 2012/06/19 03:24:30

Volunteer for your favorite breed rescue group. Educate yourself on temperament tests. Get your hands dirty. Then come back in a few years and tell me what you think.

reply
TheAven... to Peewee 2012/06/19 15:41:51

i already did and nothing like that ever happen -- and i've been doing it for 4 years.

Peewee to TheAven... 2012/06/19 16:18:04

OK, I guess we will agree to disagree then. I'm glad you're involved in rescuing and saving these wonderful critters.

That's one of the good things about living in the country: hardly any ruffians. I don't hate living in the middle of nowhere, but it does get boring sometimes. And it doesn't help that every time I go outside I get eaten alive.

Yeah, try having those around your house for real...they are so aggressive that if you just walk by them they'll see it as an attack!

those are like the bees in my backyard! you just walk by the bush, minding your own business, then the whole freaking swarm comes out and chases after you! you're lucky if you make it to the garage in time! but if you REALLY piss them off, they will come at you while you're in the garage! then you're REALLY screwed! lol

Sounds like yellow jackets to me. I think that they have year-round PMS...

Just a theory.

laundry

I hate folding laundry.

laundry

This, I find, is the most boring of all. Dusting is also very boring, and it's like you only remove about half of the dust the other just ends up in the air and back on the surfaces in an hour or two.
