What my dog has eaten. He has super bad separation anxiety. He was left in a crate to die before we rescued him.

3 pounds of Halloween candy
A DVD, case, disc and all
Part of a heated blanket
A box cutter (still never found the blade)
Multiple crate bottoms.
Multiple dog beds.
AN LED motion light
The carpet.
The wall
A door jam/Frame.
Tupperware.

We tried crating, but she was driving the neighbors crazy with her howling. Tried for a couple weeks and it never got better

The food struggle i know all too well

- jcragcrumple


That was the one bonus that came out of the broken leg. He spent 4 weeks in his crate basically 24/7. And was on sedatives. He loves his crate now. I don’t even have to tell him to go in it when I’m leaving for work. He knows I’m gonna leave as soon as I start brushing my teeth. He stands in it waiting for his treat.

Surprised to see that Rodriguez was the odd man out on the lines this morning. Maybe he didn't pick up the system as quickly as others, who knows.

Hm.

Maybe I should take the cathy bates from "Misery" approach and break her legs.

Obviously joking. It's a struggle sometimes but she's adorable and when you make a commitment to a dog, you deal with it

On ERod scratch, Krueger said it shows #Sabres forward depth is growing. "When you see that level of scratch, you can see that it's not just words. It's actions here. It's a competitive situation. In the end, it was the mix that took him out of it." Message clearly being sent.

No, the lab is good. The little beagle is a menace. She's crafty and she can get up on any surfaces. No shame in her game. She'll straight up snag food off your plate. We took her as a 1 year old from a family member who died. There were no rules in that house. 9 months later she's still a menace. Adorable though

- jcragcrumple


We had a beagle who would go into the other room while we were eating and make that horrifying beagle yowl that sounds like they are hurt or worried. Then when you would leave the room to investigate, he would bolt passed you and grab the food off the table/plate before you could get back to it.

Question for the cable cutters here. I know of most of the streams to watch the games live, however does anyone have a place to watch replays of the games? I am usually at work during the games.

I have friends who have a dog that used to have terrible separation anxiety and believe it or not they got the dog prescribed dog anxiety medicine that did absolute wonders.

Also if you're in a progressive state they make dog CBD gummies

Trazodone is what I gave my dog for the last few days.
It helped a lot.

I totally understand erod's effectiveness last season, despite his point production.
But it was long stated that it's a new year, clean slate for all players. Crag may throw a stool at me, but I personally didn't see Erod do anything really to stand out in preseason.

I didn't watch a ton of preseason, and what I did watch, I didn't notice him (it's possible that he wasn't even on the ice when I was paying attention though). Like I said earlier, I'm fine with Sobotka being on line 2 for a few games to see if he can do anything there. If he looks like a steaming pile of dog crap, then they better make a change. If that means swapping him and Erod, then so be it. Just don't pretend there isn't a problem when there is.

No he wasn't great. I think he only had 1 assist on an empty netter. He set up slopoke on the PP but 'poso whiffed on 2 chances. Likewise he hit Sheary for a nice feed in game 2 on a 2-on-1 and sheary missed.

He had a couple breakaways but didn't cash.

It's absurd Okposo is playing over him, but I can only yell about it so many times. He'll play soon

This happens to him pretty often. Probably why I end up frustrated hearing his name.

He's this era's version of Brian Holzinger. Alllllllllll the speed and hands of stone.
