My computer got the BSOD yesterday, (blue screen of death) and I'm hoping mine does not follow your computers path of unrighteousness. Although I would love a new laptop if that comes with the deal.<BR/>sigh...<BR/>Be encouraged!!

It is a horrible feeling. It is like execution -(my computer is so much a part of who I am and what I do...)knowing it's coming and there is nothing I can do about it - 'cuz the damage is DONE. I am so happy for you that you have a laptop now. I am celebrating your FREEDOM with you. I don't mind long waits anymore. I just take out my little lap top and work away! I really stopped into blog to ask about the speakers' teleconference you mentioned in an earlier blog. Got any good scoop on how to sign up for that one? I'll 'see' you on tongiht's teleconference. Thanks for the heads up. You are a treasure!Vanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03609122386376968883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3762514.post-27252698923039205712008-01-09T09:09:00.000-05:002008-01-09T09:09:00.000-05:00I don't know if different breeds train easier but ...I don't know if different breeds train easier but we have a shih tzu and did the crate training thing with her. She was trained in about a month although the crate was tortureous for her and me. I felt like I had a newborn. I had a soft sided crate, with a top zipper, and would put it by my bed at night. I slept with my arm hanging off the bed and hand in the crate every night to comfort her.<BR/><BR/>I'm so excited about your new laptop. I love curling up in my big chair with mine and my coffee although I have no eggnog creamer :(Wrinkled Shirtshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03617025321765227384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3762514.post-56003032630228734252008-01-09T09:01:00.001-05:002008-01-09T09:01:00.001-05:00I pray that "A Series of Unfortunate Events" will ...I pray that "A Series of Unfortunate Events" will soon turn into "A Series of God's Deepest Blessings!" :) :) Which, by the looks of it, you are beginning to encounter! I proud about the new laptop. My husband bought me one last April, and I LOVE it! It is so wonderful to "take the show on the road" and live in complete freedom from the usual desk. Enjoy my friend! It sounds like you deserved that blessing!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02438968579173979217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3762514.post-76610834255470177522008-01-09T09:01:00.000-05:002008-01-09T09:01:00.000-05:00Congrats on the new laptop ... just wondering ... ...Congrats on the new laptop ... just wondering ... is it a MacBook? Up until a few years ago, I was totally anti-Mac ... then my hubby got one, and I got used to it ... and now when I have to use a PC, I get very frustrated!<BR/><BR/>Puppy training went pretty fast for us mainly because we used a crate. She learned pretty quickly not to potty where she sleeps, and learned pretty quickly which door to go to when she needed to go out. Again, a few accidents at the door, but nothing some newspaper couldn't catch.<BR/><BR/>When she starts the nipping and biting stage, take an old washcloth (or 2), soak it, wring it until it is almost damp, and freeze it "wrung". When puppy starts nipping, take away whatever she is nipping on, and give her the washcloth. That was the key to a lot of her chewing problems. Take away what she was not supposed to be chewing on, and give her a proper chew toy. (Same thing works with babies, but we won't go there!)<BR/><BR/>Good luck and have fun with your new laptop!<BR/>carlyn<BR/>http://web.mac.com/cceeyorecceeyorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09992210972366719063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3762514.post-48503675868749267962008-01-09T08:33:00.000-05:002008-01-09T08:33:00.000-05:00It seems when stuff hits, it all hits together :) ...It seems when stuff hits, it all hits together :) Glad you made it through with some sanity!<BR/><BR/>By the way, have ya'll thought of crate training your puppy? My hubby who is an avid animal lover, thought it was really mean to leave a puppy in a crate. However, it worked in no time. The puppy will not go to the bathroom in the same area he sleeps, so if you manage to keep him in the crate at night, there's a fighting chance you can train him in no time. <BR/><BR/>We got a puppy from the pound about a year ago and he was trained in a couple of weeks -- only had a few accidents right in front of the door when we weren't quick enough to let him out. I did have him on a schedule to go out at 2 am and 5 am to just see if he needed to use the bathroom -- unfortunately, he's stuck to that schedule. Good thing is that he loves to sleep outside :)<BR/><BR/>Good luck with all your trials!Lisa B @ simply Hishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13837351310509845577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3762514.post-65099141465041813212008-01-08T23:45:00.000-05:002008-01-08T23:45:00.000-05:00You are my hero.
