[QUOTE="Lannie, post: 1716574, member: 8202"] I missed my chance! Yesterday, I peeked through the windows at Maggie repeatedly, and she was either playing with one of her kitties or sleeping. Then my husband went out to move the outside trough into the barn (to plug in the de-icer for winter) and I spent an hour or so cleaning house, which was sorely overdue. I never heard a thing, but then, I was running the vacuum a good part of the time. But Rich came back in when he was finished and asked where the hell I'd been. Uh, cleaning the house, like I said I was going to? Apparently, while he was cleaning and moving the trough, Maggie was amusing herself by chasing chickens around the "Commons" area (large grassy yard area between barns, garden, and house). She never caught one or put her teeth on any of them, just chased them. What FUN she had! Well, that's better than catching them, but still a no-no. So the house is clean, more or less (we have a LOT of cats in here, LOL!), and there's a nice rare beef roast in the fridge to have as leftovers for dinner for a couple more days, so I have no excuse. I will be sitting out somewhere today with my remote. I'll have to find a semi-hidden place, or she'll just come and sit with me and do nothing. I'll have to think about a good place to hide, but I really need to zap that girl a time or two. Even just the yelling has done SOME good. At one point yesterday late morning, she was lying by the back door (not asleep) with a bunch of the garage roosters foraging all around her, perfectly calm, and she wasn't the least bit interested in them. It was so hard to believe, I had to take a picture, so I'd know it really happened. Now I remember why I haven't had an actual puppy since 1998. Puppies are HARD WORK! I've always managed to get adult rescues or re-homes, and I'm really out of practice for puppy-raising. Gah! 🤪 If I ever mention some insanity about getting a puppy for the house, somebody slap me. Really hard! [/QUOTE]
