[Dragonfly]

I am still about just waiting on all you girls. Bored here as usual. Floor didnt get put down yesterday as darren had better things to do like run around after his mates and get nothing achieved! and his mate was all ready to do it here. so today it would need to go down. I shall be raging if its not.

I feel sore today, like bloated and windy and when I pee my bump hurts. I must throw in a urine sample in case its a UTI but i dot think so as i had loads of them before and know what they feel like.
Think its just wind.
Baby is kicking low again, its made ma gasp a few times with what ever its hit.

I am 29 weeks today! omg next week is the big 30! freaky! then i am thining god its like only a few weeks from then. Like if i add on 10 weeks now i could have had baby alredy! :O shocking to think of it that way.

Souunds like the name of someone who could be famous that! I like it.

In a temper with the dam dog again and so is darren. bruce was running around acting all weird again when they are putting down the wooden floor. Peed everywhere cause he wouldnt sit in the kitchen and kept wanting to wreak the place. So I locked him in the conservatory away from it all. Can see him through the doors, he pisses all over that, tried to eat the seat foam again in the sofa and goes for my rose bush I have by the door which i am trying to save as he thinks its his chew toy! it is a rare rose ffs a purple one. He has got many of telling off for this and knows its wrong and hides when I shout at what he is doing. Then I say he has to go outside and he rockets through the house pissing everywhere after we cleaned the whole dam place this morning and pisses all over livingroom. darren has enough of him and has to drag him outside where is is still pissing, how much piss has his dog got! then I take a peek a few times to make sure he isnt making my garden into another mine field and he is sitting eating his own shit again. He is now in the utility room and I know rightly he will eat the contents of the cat little and there is a bin bag in there to he will probably ruin and darren says he wont.
Honestly this dog knows better he is just stupid and the fact he is walking bacteria is freaking me out. I dont think I can have him around this house at all with a baby.
my other dog is an angel and never wreaked my house and everyone said how nice my huose and garden where when it was just the one dog.

I could really do with farting here but wind is trapped up high and i cant get it out : (

 

[helen1234]

lol trapped wind lol i know what you mean,
i'd get him chopped asap, if he's suddenly started with the peeing everywhere thing he's prob marking his territory, and once baby is here with a whole new load of smells he may get worse, can you confine him to the kitchen or something is he a barker? is he drinking more than normal he may have an infection or diabetes or just being stuoid my mum has lots of dogs most stay outside though cos they greyhounds and working feild dogs. it would drive me mad that, need to get it sorted though he'll end up making the house stink and you won't want to be mopping up all the time when baby comes, does he cock his leg up?

[Dragonfly]

he isnt marking he just pees cause he is scared. He gets shouted at when he does someting wrong and if yuo dont shout at him he knows he has done something wrong and pees anyway ,. so its a give away and you have to go and look for what he has done. He is a german shepherd an easily trained dog and smart one just an idiot. I cant leave him in any room as he will wreaked it with piss! The cat food is in the kitchen and he will go for that, so he cant stay there plus i dont want a dirty dog in my clean kicthen. The conservatory is stinking of piss! and its one of my fav rooms as its filled with nice flowers he likes to wreak. he cant stay outside as he will bark and annoy neighbors and i dont think everyone should have to listen to a barking dog i know my neighbours dog never shuts up.
I cant keep locking him in rooms,. its not fair, i cant keep an eye on him and i cant keep buying new mops and loads of disinfectant to clean up after him. i will have enough when baby is here and i have said this to darren loads of times. he has hurt the other dog we have as he is to rough also. And that other dog is darrens pride and joy! dare anyone touch a hair on it.

I checked on him in the utility room and he was pissing all over it again soon as i walked in. Hasnt wreaked it thank god! but he has sucessfully pissed in near every room in this house and thats just today.

i feel bad for wanting rid but i really have enough to deal with and i want my clean house back again especially with a baby coming in. I have been feeling like this before i was pregnant as i couldnt go out at all without coming home to something being wreaked! Missy is 1 year older than him ad i can leave her and when i get back she is in the same place as she was before and nothing is wreaked. Now she is acting up because of him. I dont even think i can wait for him to be neurtered as it may not solve the problem. Imagine a mid wife being in here and him pissing all overthe house and pulling his stunts!

 

[Michelle100]

Helen x Hugely proud of you for standing up to them and don't feel bad for crying, I'd have been crying without all the pregnancy hormones (and cry at really pathetic things now I've got them - you're soooooo entitled to a weep now and then with all that going on). Do you know when you'll hear anything else?

Hope you get your dog sorted dragonfly. You can get happy dog plug in smelly things from the vet that make your dog feel more relaxed and happier - maybe that combined with a snip would sort it all out?

Had a lovely weekend despite Wales being closed (it seems everywhere closed last weekend for the winter...), the weather being awful and having constant backache everytime we got in the car It was nice to get away. I've eaten LOADS - think I'm developing a stomach stretchmark from eating too much. They've started appearing near my hips too. Grrrrrrrrrrr.

Really tired xxxxxxxx

 

[baby D]

Hello all you lovely ladies - have had a terrible weekend! Am so tiered...just cannot sleep - have had about 4 hrs sleep in total! So wishing time away till maternity leave starts! My job takes it out of me completely at the mo......

On a happy note me and OH have decided we really do want to be married sooner rather than later....won't be a lavish day, but will be special all the same xx

 

[elm]

OWWWWWWWWWWW!!! My back hurts. I'm going to get it rubbed soon, hope it works - I'm very lucky as my DP knows all about muscles and things so he should be able to make it better for a bit. He's getting things out of the car (in the rain at the moment - poor man!).

Just remembered your cot mattress question Curlywoo - I'm not having a cot so no mattress (having a snugglenest). Just wanted to mention that they have vibrating ones in Toys R Us - not sure what all that's about - probably helps them sleep or something - probably because they're not used to being motionless after being in a womb for 9 months? xxx

Congratulations! xxx

Hope you get more sleep soon and the time passes quickly til you're on mat leave

[helen1234]

glad you had a good time in wales, although it rained last nite and all day today.

bot seen the vibrating cots yet, seems pointless, i saw on baby whisperer that jigging and rocking baby is bad cos you stimulate the senses so they learn to be rocked to sleep instead of dropping off on their own, my friend had a vibrating chair it helped with colic.

We have tried all them things to calm him down, even when you approach him on his level being nice and rewarding him he pisses. if he is doing it for attention he certainly is getting it. and he gets loads of attention as i am always in the house and darren plays with them and walks them all the time. Seems there is no pleasing him at all. You cant get up and go intothe kitchen without him running afteryou and diving into a cornor! cant go to loo without him bombing in after you and nervously running around. Defintly abandonment issues. He has been here since jan and we cant seem to train him at all and our other dog is perfectly trained and is admired by everyone that meets her.

he knows he does wrong i think sometimes he does it out of stupidness and forgets as he seems to remember its wrong when he is caught. We think he likes the hard life for being loving nice and giving him a good up bringing does seem to stick with him. I dont know what happened to him before we got him but he is scared of most men especially tall ones. Anyone tall actually scares him.

He shit on darrens trousers other night. Just walked over and took a big dump on them in the bedroom and he was let out to the toilet 5 mins before that. And he is house trained! he had to throw his trousers out. It would drive you mental cleaning up after him he is full time. I dontw ant to have to get rid of him and have given him so many chances and still am giving him chances as i dont have the heart to give him away, he has big sad eyes and follows me everwhere and always sticks with me when I am sick i just want him to calm down and see this is his home.

I seen some pheramone plug in i may get for him it helps nervous dogs. I also have a cat scenting the place as he is acting up to. she pees on my good carpet and everywhere so i need one for her. she is an old cat but hasnt liked him coming in at all. she liked a clean house also once. Other cat is great, loves the dogs and hangs out with them all day, infact they groom her and she is always flufy and nice.

enough about animalsthey are driving me mad! hormones and wanting a nice clean house dosnt help at all here.

i just ate a big bowl of ice cream with cad flake crumbled onto it! yummy though i am starving again and feel sick now and there aint much left to eat. Dam appitie has come back big time and i cant keep up with food costs.

i ran out of oil to its freezing and i bet i get a cold fom it.

cool baby D! dosnt have to be a lavish day thats not what marriage is about. i would prefer it not to be a lavish day but more feelings that money spent. If i where to get married i would just grab him and we would go to a register office and say notihng. Thats why my mum told me to do ! says i am to piss off somewhere and do it and she may have a meal for us when we ome back. bit offended i thought mothers wanted their kids to get married and have a nice day.

I am watching hot fuss now.
got flooor down in room well most of it till we send people home andthen found a box we thought we didnt have and could have fnished the room

 

[LuluBee]

Sounds like you all had crappy weekends - apart from Elm and Michelle. Glad you had a lovely time away Elm - it rained all the time we were away in September but it's nice to get the time to spend together isn't it?
Helen - I feel for you with the sickness, mines much more spontaneous now than it ever was in first tri and proper food sick - think it's from really bad heartburn.
Baby D - congratulations on your wedding plans and I hope you've decided to take the day off day
Dragonfly - I hope you get your dog sorted, my cat used to wee right by our front door and nothing we tried stoipped her. In the end we had all the carpets taken up downstairs and laminate put in - since then she's been fine. But God knows what will happen when the baby arrives!

I had a nice weekend, apart from my Mum's constant remarks about how big I am I actually got out the house yesterday and went to a Christening, was nice to see all my family, but am a bit sore down below now. Would like to spend the day in bed but my aunt has taken it upon herself to come visit this afternoon and Matt's slipped a bit with the housework so will need to do a bit of tidying up

 

[hypnorm]

Dragonfly - sorry to hear about your dog, have you had him checked over by the vet to make sure there is no other underlying problem?

Also might be worth speaking to a behaviourist, how old is he? and what breed?
I have a DAP diffuser plug in and that really helped calm my nervy Collie down, but she is still a bit scared of being left and follows you around! if you come at her aggressivly she will pee on floor, i wormed her the other day and she pee'd whilst i was shoving the tablet down her throat.

Can believe i'm in the last 12 weeks now! OH put the cot up for me yesterday so at least i can shove some stuff underneath it!

 

[Dragonfly]

well today has not been good so far. First i accidemtly left the heater on and fell asleep so it was on 5 hours when i woke up sweating and used all our electricity. Think it was £15 its used over the weekend since fri. NO heating and I am freezing and didnt get paid today. I feel ill.
Darren lost the plot with the dog as he will not listen to anyoe and is peeing everywhere. Then he said he wants rid. Then turns it around on me and blames my cat and wants rid of my cat and threatens to walk out over that dog! i want rid cause darren got so stressed he broke stuff in the house, including my parents wedding present silver wear that dosnt bloody belong to me to break and I will get killed for that! so i am stressed, I cant eat all i can do is cry as i feel bad enouvgh wanting rid of the dog then he rings his mum and bitches to her and puts the blame on me! twisty git!

the houseis a mess with piss and everything, i cant be arsed to clean it now i dont have the energy and once i clean it its replaced with more piss and my mop is walking germs. He took the dogs out today i want them out of my sight. I really am under far to much stress. I cant cope with this and a baby on the way there are cleaning jobs i now cant do as i am to busy cleaning up after a dog and he is busy complaining the house stinks or dog pee and its wreaked! what does he exspect with that bloody dog wreaking it! i cant take care of a baby and everyone here.

f*ck this. Off for a cry. loads of other shit getting to me also today. my house is full of junk and i cant get anyone with a car,van or anything to help us yet everyone comes up here and uses us. Had enough of everyone just want to be left on my own as if i want something done i will have to do it myself as usual ..

 

[LuluBee]

 

[hypnorm]

I know its hard to do, but i really think by the sounds of it you should seriously consider rehoming the dog, Its not fair for you to be getting so stressed and its also unfair on the dog who is getting told off all the time and shouted at, it sounds like he needs some TLC with some one who will be able to spend time sorting out all his 'problems' Once the baby is here it will be twice as hard.
It sounds like you have really tried with him, but he might be better suited to another family. Don't beat your self up about it. But i would really consider finding another home for him. The more you shout and scold him the more terrified he will be.

Good luck.

 

[Dragonfly]

Thats what I think to. I thinkhe would be better off somewhere else as when baby comes we cant give him all the attention he is getting now so he would be worse then. I have tried, I have paid so much in vet bills to have him brought back to good health and can only find that he a scatty dog as even she couldnt give him his injection. I dont get it, he has a big house here, gets walked, gets fed well, gets loads of attention as we do treat our pets like kids and he does this. I have even sat and talked to him and said he is making me get rid of him. But he wont ge going anywhere as darren once again has a change of heart , its uaully me that changes my mind. I dont even pay attention to the dog anymore and it breaks my heart. I dont want to get all cuddly with him again as its harder to let go. That sounds so evil I know. I dont bother to shout at him anymore of even when he is scatty i dont go near him for fear of him pissing everywhere. I know the best thing to do and its gettihng in between our relationship this. We where fine before he came along now with baby on the way its he has sparked up stress even more. We arnt stressed about baby by the way we cant wait! but the mroe i think of this baby in here and that dog it dosnt go.
he eats poo! cat pooh and his own pooh so what if he is near the baby!
he pees everywhere and you cant have floors like that in a house with a baby!
what if the midwife where to come in and smell pee and see him what he is at!
I cant keep up with cleaning after him and the baby i would have to leave his mess which is not good!
when baby starts crawling is it going to crawl on pissy floors!
my garden cant even be played in as he has wreaked it and evebn the new grass i put down was wreaked and its all holes and dog pooh as i cant clean it and darren dosnt bother. So baby would never be able to sit outside in the summer.
he sits in his own pee so i cant touch him basically.
he goes for the cats and i have todl him off makes me think that could be a baby as i cant trust him with what he does.
i cant afford to replace things he has eaten and distroyed now. god knows what he will get a hold of that belongs to baby and wreak.

I think i have enough reasons there. but darren says just to neuter him to see first. I dont even have the money for that! i dont havethe patience as this baby is here in jan or even dec! and i certainly dont have the sanity left for it.

 

[Blah11]

Hey ladies how we all doing?

I had a lovely weekend was my 21st on Friday so my immediate family and OH went out for dinner. Such a yummy mexian Then on Saturday my fam and friends came round for drinks and stuff. Was lovely Then yday me and OH had a lazy day. Didn't get up until 3pm and didn't get dressed all day!

OH AND WE HAVE A NAME! She will be named Amelie *something* Barr. My OH is picking the middle name and he hasnt come up with anything yet.

Dragon- you should neuter him first. It sometimes works wonders for dogs in calming them down, and he might be marking as well.
