BURNING UP OR FREEZING

LADY IN HER PRIME

All dogs can drive you crazy at one time or another. Lady did it to me many times, but, often, it was at night.

It would be in the summer, and the temperature in my room was around 70. I'd wake up, and it would be around 80 in my room (or maybe warmer)! Lady would lay on the vent in my room, and the cold air would cool her off. But I'd be burning up.

Then in the winter, the temperature would be around 70. I'd wake up, and it would be around 60 (or colder). She was laying on the vent again, preventing the warm air from getting to me.

I had to close my door so I could have a comfortable temperature in my room, and it stayed that way for nearly 10 years.

Lady's been gone about six and a half years, and I'd happily have that problem again. If only...

Come HERE, Dixie!

The most aggravating thing about our beagle Dixie is her not coming to the door when she's called.

Today, I stuck my head out the door and called; nothing. I put on my cap and went outside and called; nothing. Then I went to the deck and saw her in the grass. I called; nothing

 Finally, I went to the edge of the deck, and she started following me. I heard her cord rustling behind me and realized she'd gone back into the yard.

 I went out, grabbed her cord and dragged her to the door. I opened the door, and she ran inside.

 That was too much drama for something so simple. Is there a way to train her to come inside?
