Babies Born March 1st -15th 2008 #5

Trina - We had a staffy a few years ago. Chubbs. He was beautiful, but we had to give him away. We had to move into a flat & having him with no yard to run in isn't fair. Where he lives now he has his own bedroom!! He's so spoilt.
I get the same comments all the time. Got them about both dogs. Chubbs was born & bred to kill according to a car sales man. He obviously never had a staffy! The prob with Chubbs was that he was too friendly! The number of people who brought him home. One guy asked if we wanted to sell him, I was suprised he didn't just take him! He followed him home.
When we did offer Chubbs to him though the wife wouldn't let him.

Why are they going to Bathurst? They must be mad! its way too cold. It'd be freezing there. I hate keeping Jaz home too. She always seems perfectly healthy once school has started.

Damn Snugglers nappies. Never again. I had to redress Jesse 3 times last night coz they leaked. Going to buy Huggies today. Not impressed.

BTW - I moved the puppies onto a blanket & into the old shed down the back, then sorta propped the blanket around them.


Jesse is being a pain! He's very easily distracted while feeding now & comes off every time he hears something. Usually getting the milk spraying first, little bugger!

We had a beautiful day here yesterday but have to admit its pretty crappy today. Why is Codie coming up Trina? is she doing the whole gold field thing?
My boy moved into his cot yesterday and went so well I didnt sleep so much last night as I was abit worried..he slept thorugh though so nohting to worry about *L* typical. He is loving sitting in the highchair too helping me with dinner ;-) well banging all the utnesils about after he has gummed them to death.
Our place is just chaotic atm with mum and dad building their new house..the frames have arrived and there is absolutley no room left int he back yard and the noise is driving me nuts. When the dug up the side of the house to put in the gas line they disturbed an ants nest..every single morning for the last week I have had about 1000 ants on the floor in the kitchen when I wake up they went thorugh all the cutlery draws and even got in the microwave ( good excuse to clean everything ) I have put ant kill everywhere and it works but they come into the kitchen and then die the little buggars. It makes me feel so dirty :-(

Hey Prama welcome home I bet it was great to see Steve and sleep in your own bed
Trina I can understand you getting ****ed off as most people who have staffies have beautiful dogs. I saw a cross bred rip another dog apart and then go the owner when he tried to pull his dog off and it terrified me just one of those rarer experiences I guess. We dont really have any room for a dog atm and as much as hubby says he would take it for a walk I know I would end up doing it and the poor thing would end up neglected. I bet your dog is agood protector when you are at home all by yourself. Maybe when the hosue is finished and we have abit of a yard back and WIll is older we will get one.
Got to go my boys is awake and have some girlfriends coming for mornign tea.
Have agood day

It's the year 5 excursion that pub schools do, she is panning for gold and has a full busy schedule she is going to be exhausted by the end.

I have Tahnie home, DH and i said nobody is staying home unless they have a temp and of course Tahnie had one we were kind of thinking she was just wanting a day off. She has been on the couch all morning and Summer is propped up in bed having a decent sleep. *was having a decent sleep is now awake* geez i should shut up sometimes....

Ants are a pita Bron they get everywhere and into everything. Some staffies are not dog friendly or cat friendly and when they fight they want to rip them apart but we socialized Daisy with other dogs and she gets on with the cat and guinea pig (although she probably wouldn't hesitate eating the guinea pig for a snack if left alone with it) So many young guys (not meaning to stereotype) encourage their dog to bark at or have a go at other dogs and that's what encourages them to want to fight IMO.

Skye yep Daisy is spoilt she sleeps on Codie's bed, even when locked in the bathroom Codie will wait until we are all asleep in bed then go get her, but she is bathed regularly even has her own doggy deodorant.

Off to the shops..

SJ I only have one lou lous night nappy. I found that BBH (wool cover or longies) with both inserts and a microfibre booster will hold for most nights. The only time I have leaks now is if he wakes up for two feeds during the night. He of course has been doing this lately and it's freezing in Perth.

Shell I haven't tried goats milk but I found that if I put cream on 3-4 times a day it helps heaps. I think the key for Paddy is not to let his skin dry out. Hope you're feeling better.

The damn fridge blew up now!! What next!
No car, no wash/mach, no fridge & no money!!!
NOT HAPPY!

Shell - Was DJ in pain pooing when he was constipated? Jesse's having problems now & the poor things crying in pain. No more weetbix for him.

Well I think the fridge is fine. Anthony just doesn't know what he's talking about.

Summer was really really badly constipated i had to get infant coloxyl liquid, she was in so much pain when i changed her nappy she would try and push it out but it would only come out a little then go back in (sorry tmi) it took a good 5 days to clear it out and now she is going every day. She was cranky and in lots of pain and kept trying to push and going bright red.

That's so strange. I love snugglers. Although I've heard they are great for girls but terrible for boys, maybe that's why you hate them and I love them. I guess if I have a boy next time I'll compare and see if that theory is correct.
