what a day...
got up this morning to a late notice from att on a bill id already paid...*rolls eyes*
spent all morning chasing them around playing customer service tag untill it finally got sorted, i starte the process at 8:45 am...it was almsot 12pm before i had a resolution...
thank goodness for the 1 person in the entire call center who had a clue an got it sorted for me.
because of the futsing i wasnt paying enough attention which led to Dozer having a potty accident...
my fault but still grr arg...i blame att lol
trying to figure out the cheapest way to get car insurance (since i o want colission and comrehensive on my car as its not a clunker yet (despite being almost 10 years old) its still worth enough on KBB to make a $500 deuctable to have the coverage a good idea...probbaly for another few years...especially since i cant afford to replace it if something did happen...
right now geico is winning but its still another $40 a month to go out...not bad realy though considering lol.
still have to get my reg tranfered over to my name (it was in dads for insurance purposes despite me buying it myself) so i can get my TN plates...im told that will be another $40 so bucks...
so im hoping when alls said and done at the end of the month i have enough to do my plates and have enough paid off the credit card to pay for 6 months of insurance in full, it saves me about $30 in the long run if i do it in full and my interest rate n the cc is 12months 0% on new purchases...so i wouldnt be paying any extra n it if i pay it off in the 4 months it would normall take at my usual monthly payment to my cc.
in good news though weve made some Dozer progress...
big ball of mush is afrai of the back door...i open it and he freeks out ive been having to carry him out...hes now 10 weeks old and already 13 1/2 lbs, im not going to be able to carry him across the threshold much longer...treats havent been working, gentle coaxing seemed useless, dragging him out pointless...
well today something seems to have clicked for my little monster...
hes still not sure of the door when i open it, probably because it sticks and i have to give it a solid pull, so i grab his collar so he wont bolt, open the oor and today for the first time ever i didnt have to pul, push or pick him up, he simply walked out on his own when i let go of his collar...hes done it twice so far today!
were also making progress outside...
typically after potty break its a game of keep away...it doens tmatter if hes done or not, how long weve been out or how cold it is...as soon as its time to go in "your comming to get me lady" is the name of the game...not fun when its dark cold wet and i havent picked up the poop from the day *shudder*
short of putting him on the long line getting him to come when called is well...a challenge...
well today, multiple times,
hes gone potty, ill call him and he doesnt respond so i give him a few more mins and let him finihs and once he goes poop ill call him and hell actually come back to me!
not all that fast....BUT i havent had to chase him around the yard today LOL!. he comes over gets a HUGE fuss and then we come in.
now if this keeps up were well o our way...need to face the challenge of not having to carry him in now LOL. hell come onto the back deck...and hes not afraid of going IN the door...but instead its like he changes his mind and would much prefer to stay out longer and off he goes again.
i think im going to have to keep the leash in my pocket and when he comes back ot me clip him and walk him in. hes definatly a new kind of challenge, the cresties are always more than happy to run out do thier buisness and get back in QUICK! lol, theres no hanging about when its cold or wet out lol.
Dozer seems to be a little less effected by the cold...or rain...for now at least lol.
oh well...
time to finnish making dinner...
oven roasted chicken thigh with salt pepper and garlic toped with panko breadcrumbs mixed with italian seasoning, parmesan cheese and 1/2 a teaspoon of butter...
with basmati rice cooked in chicken stock, butter carlic and italian seasonings (i love cooking rice in stock
)
i DO need to find a source for affordable quinoa, love rice but need to limit myself...quinoa is a little more diet friendly being a complete protein lol.
It wasn't.
) which set the little ones off barking whichrealy spooked dozer who then refused to go potty...
Wish I was more help. The Frontline has always worked for us and the Advantix was crap
