  • If the fence around my backyard fell down tonight I'd for sure have 50-60 people just roaming around my backyard doing whatever they wanted by morning.

    Burfict to Raiders? Is that real? He and AB reunited

    Enjoy your fatass linebacker who’s always in trouble, Oakland.

    are the raiders eligible for hard knocks? They’d be a good choice.

  • Lakers down by one in final seconds against Knicks. Lebron drives for game winner and gets blocked by Hezonja. Lakers lose.

    It sounds like you're looking for a solution for you and your wife to keep the dog as opposed to what's best for the dog.  They aren't necessarily the same thing.

    Caging a dog who is having trouble controlling it's urination is only forcing a dog to lay in it's own urination for hours at a time.  I personally don't think that's the best thing for the dog.

    I explained this incorrectly initially. I don't know that she can't necessarily control her bladder. Sometimes - a lot of times - I think she's just lazy. We have a stake in the ground with a 30ish foot long leash we hook her up to to go outside. I can open up the back door and put her on the leash but unless I literally tell her to go out and go, she'll just sit there on the back deck until someone lets her in. We were gone for 7-8 hours yesterday and she was fine. I come home late and am trying to put a 4 year old and 6-month old to bed so I let her out and am not really paying attention if she actually goes out like she's suppose to, and then I eventually let her back in. I got up a few hours later in the night for something and notice she had then peed/pooped on the carpet. 

    Anyways, we're both working tonight and the dog's going in the cage so we'll see if she can control it or not. My personal (and perhaps wrong) theory is that she'll do a lot better at controlling her bladder when she's in a 3x5ft cage. If she still has the same issues in the cage then we'll need to figure something else out. 

    I agree when it gets to the point where it's a poor life for the dog then it's selfish for me personally to keep her, but the alternative could be the pound/death. Maybe there's someone out there looking for an 11yo Jack Russell with possible bladder control issues, but probably there isn't.

    Does the dog typically sleep in the crate? It seems it’s only a few extra hours if that’s the case.

    No, she's always had free roam of the house.

  • My wife and I both work night shift. We're both away from home the same night once or seldom twice a week. We have a Jack Russell who's 10 or 11 years old and over the past few months her bladder isn't what it use to be. Most mornings I'm coming home to pee on the carpet. We have a cage that she comfortably fits in as she's not that big of a dog. But every time we go to work I don't have the heart to put her in it all night. When we both work, we're gone from about 6pm to 7am the next morning. I'm sure there's alternatives like dog walking services but I haven't looked into them to see how useful they'd be for night shift workers. The other thing that bothers me is that when you've worked all night and you come home in the morning exhausted to a mess on the carpet, it takes away all the enjoyment of having a dog. I actually hate the dog (she's my wife's) and I could give a fuck if she ran out the front door forever. But I think I'd also genuinely tolerate the dog more if we weren't always cleaning up after her. So I'm looking at it as "caging you up all night sucks but in the long run it's going to help us both." 

    So I poll the Chatter: Leaving a dog crated for 13ish hours a night 1-2 times a week okay? I had a Border Collie growing up and early on we'd keep her caged while we're at school so never more than 7-8 hours.

    Throwback Friday. Listening to a podcast this morning about how this would be covered in media today. I still think what happened at the 6 minute mark is one of the crazier moments. I forgot or didn't realize that fan not only got decked by Artest but Jermaine O'Neal got a good shot at him, too. Also, I think initially Artest went after the wrong fan. The loser in the blue Ben Wallace jersey was the one who threw the beer I think.

    Zion...the anti Harden

    Goes 29/14/5....13/13 from the field, 2/9 from the line

    Also, someone tried to trip him and he didn't even notice. Harden would have flailed to halfcourt then collapsed like a gunshot victim.

    Triple Frontier, 8/10. A great flick about retired soldiers making one last run. Great freaking cast. 

    It feels like an old school 80s action movie in spots. 

    Agreed. I gave it a 9/10.

    Seen some rumors on the twittersphere suggesting that Coach K will be leaving Duke at the end of the season and heading to LA. 

    Nothing will come of it, I’m sure, but it’s fun to dream lol. 

    Doesn’t this happen every year?

  • I think this may have been mentioned on here before but when did cards get so fucking expensive? $11 for a new baby and birthday card.

  • All quiet on the Bengals front, per usual in free agency. One of their beat writers on Twitter joked about the actual Bengals cap space vs their self-imposed cap. I don't even know if I care. The gap between them currently being a 4-5 win team vs a playoff contender is so large what difference does it make, especially when they won't replace their subpar QB anyways.

    a Blazers - Thunder playoff series would be badass.

    I’d also accept Thunder - Jazz as Westbrook would try and fight everyone in Utah by the end of it.

    To add to the "Casserly is a fucking retard whose opinion should not be taken seriously about anything" bonfire, he also apparently thinks that Dallas threw the ball to Dez Bryant too much last year. Which is pretty impressive, being how he wasn't on their team at all last year.

    Sounds like some Stephen A insight
