Jilli?
2:13 am

DrG announced that he is making changes -- if you're on Facebook there's a group called Babble Community where he talks about it.
2:14 am
pugmama763
oh don't do the facebook thing
2:14 am
jillibus
He's Babble Overlord there in case you didn't know.
2:14 am
pugmama763
have any clue what kind of changes dear?
2:15 am
Haz1558
There's also a twitter thing - www.twitter.com/BabbleOverlord which is easy to access.
2:15 am
pugmama763
an eject button for trolls would be nice!
2:15 am
m9f9l
well I just hit 200.. if I can do 5 more....
2:15 am
pugmama763
I dont twitter either
2:15 am
jillibus
kthe bit he's shown is a rearrangement, and he says he will incorporate some of Lickety's Babble Expert features, but it won't be compatible with the present Expert, which alarms me!
2:16 am
jillibus
hello Haz. I haven't joined twitter.
2:16 am
pugmama763
hmmm guess we'll have to wait & see ...
2:16 am
Haz1558
pugmama, he asked babblers for feedback, but he hasn't revealed what the new features will be.
2:16 am
pugmama763
any word when this is to take place?
2:17 am
Haz1558
jillibus, you don't need to join, just use the web address and you can see what he's posted. I think you only need to join if you want to comment or tweet or whatever you do.
2:17 am

I got one of the feedback letter but had other fish to fry so didnt bother
2:17 am

K dead. Now for some real babbling.
3:42 am
Atalante
we are! exactly!
3:42 am
Soodle
Sorry folks....
3:43 am
Haz1558
Good morning/evening all.
3:44 am
Atalante
haz! la glitterata! how is spangle?
3:44 am
sprite
hi Soodle, hello Haz
3:45 am
Haz1558
She's fine - we haven't risked giving those antibiotics again, she was so sick. But fine again and has just had a bath. I'm in a lather as well.
3:45 am
Atalante
poor girl! awww she must be lovely and sleek now. you too, probably
3:46 am
Soodle
Hi Haz, Ata, Sprite. This is a biggun, as the actress said...............
3:46 am
Haz1558
Hello sprite, Soodle Ata and silent observers.
3:46 am
sprite
yes, just what the doctor ordered
3:46 am
Haz1558
She's due another trim at the end of the month, this was just to keep her fresh and smelling respectable.
3:47 am
Atalante
I can't imagine SPangle ever looking unrespectable!
3:48 am
Haz1558
She's looking a bit bedraggled now until she dr5. Why does having a bath seem to get them all fidgety and wanting to run outside?
3:48 am
Atalante
lol oh yes. They prance a lot
3:49 am
Haz1558
It's even more amazing that they can contain them at the grooming place. Maybe they have a prancing room that they don't show to the humans.
3:49 am
Soodle
Cos they want to roll in the nearest muck. Buster is a menace after a bath.
3:50 am
Atalante
that would make sense, I think they would need one
3:50 am
sprite
we take away their wonderful smells and are surprised they run to replace them
3:50 am
Soodle
Hmmmm. Imagine the goings on in a prancing room for humans............
3:51 am
Haz1558
FM could do her rhythmical movement to musicin her Greek tunic.
3:52 am
Haz1558
music in..
3:52 am
Atalante
with er4
3:53 am
sprite
er4 has been in a load of grids lately. He's saying hi to her.
3:57 am
Haz1558
Ata, have you looked on FB to see what changes are afoot with babble? I've seen a bit on twitter but are there any more details?
3:57 am
Atalante
oooo yes, drG has been putting screenshots up over the last few days
3:58 am
Haz1558
I've seen a couple - the new header and the new layout of the grid etc, but still intrigued about the new features.
3:58 am
Atalante
that's all he's really shown. and a secret new feature box under the grid
3:58 am
sprite
is he fixing the stupid cursor placing for chatting?
3:58 am
Dachef
fingers crossed for a more updated dictionary......
3:58 am
Haz1558
Yes, its the secret new feature box that intrigues.
3:59 am
Haz1558
Hello, Dachef. But what will people complain about if we can't slate enable?
3:59 am
Atalante
am very sad, he's making it ipad compatible but not ipod compatible
3:59 am
sprite
not really, Dachef, that would mean loads of wo5 that are valid now, wouldn't be anymore.
4:00 am
Haz1558
But would it not be awfully small in i-pod? I'd need to wear glasses just to see the grid.
4:01 am
Dachef
this version of enable is now 10 years out of date. Its been updated 3 times since then. I vote for the SOWPODS dictionary, which is the official Scrabble one.
4:01 am
Atalante
but the grid would fill the screen I would think, and you'd touch the letters. the chat log takes up half the screen really!
4:01 am
Haz1558
So i-podders would miss out on chat?
4:02 am
Atalante
well, on the ipod at the moment, you can use babble through safari, but it's hard to chat and grid, you have to really do one or the other
4:02 am
Atalante
just because of the small screen size
4:03 am
Haz1558
That makes sense.
4:03 am
sprite
guess not then
4:03 am
Haz1558
You'd probably not want to tackle a huge grid on i-pod anyway, but it would be useful if you're in transit, I suppose.
4:04 am
Atalante
oh yes, exactly. just nice to do the grids
4:05 am
sprite
could somebody please forward me the invitation to make suggestions?
4:06 am
Haz1558
Yes, I can do that -I take it you didn't get the original one?
4:06 am
sprite
nope I didn't, thankyou Haz
4:08 am
Haz1558
I've sent it to your binthere address.
4:08 am
Haz1558
You're welcome.
4:09 am
Haz1558
For a moment I thought I'd found tonsorial, but not enough o letters. My father always talked about visiting his tonsorial artist (the barber)

Hello everyone. Invitation? is that what people were talking about - a few 'old' Babblers saying they had gotten an email. I didn't receive one either.
4:10 am
Haz1558
Hello, lynxxx. Yes, it seems to have been a bit hit and miss with people not receiving it.
4:12 am
FMitch
Dr_G said that if you haven't got the 'email updates' box checked in My Account you wouldnot have received the email from him.
Morning evening all.

Hello Ata!

Haz1558
Dear me. I'm either one of the select few or else the great and the good have been deliberately snubbed and I'm one of the hoi-polloi instead.
4:13 am

Hello, FM!
4:13 am

I have the update box checked, FM. Always have. And hi.
4:13 am

Do you want me to post the text of the e-mail here?
4:14 am
FMitch
Hi alll, only here for 5 mins, have a lot of work on today.
4:14 am

also the possibility the spam filter ate the email. I can see all my mail on the server so it shouldn't happen, but life being life, it might have anyway.

Fellow Pro Babbler- I realized this morning that I've been neglecting Babble lately,and I'm thinking it's time I gussied the site up a bit. So I'masking for your feedback. I welcome any and all feedback. Let yourbrain juices flow! A few sample questions/topics: What do you like the most about Babble?What do you dislike the most about Babble?What feature(s) would you like to see added to Babble?How could the Babble community be strengthened? Your feedback can be nit-picky or can include pie-in-the-sky dreams.It's all good to me. Thanks and Happy Babbling! - Dr_GodBabble Overlord http://www.playbabble.com/ P.S. If you don't want me to email you with occasional Babble updateslike this, just reply to this email and let me know.

You're a lucky girl, FM, er4/4 has shown up again.
4:15 am
Haz1558
And I hope you appreciated the tenrec making an appearance yesterday?
4:16 am
FMitch
Awe I missed the tenrec as I didn't babble yesterday either.
4:16 am
FMitch
Hi lynxxx!
4:16 am

What a shame! All the way from Madagascar and no FM to say hello to.

Lonely little guy.
4:18 am

How is your sister Ata?
4:18 am
Haz1558
So many new babblers just thought that it was a strange word. Little fellow must have felt so unappreciated.
4:18 am

your er4 is a frequent visitor lately, FM :)

4:25 am

It's funny, kje calls me mum because of my mothering tendencies (don't drink before you go to bed or you'll be up through the night) and now I'm Sally's nanny!
4:25 am

but of course Grem! Congrats!
4:26 am
Haz1558
McEnroe has stated that he'll do a post-match interview standing on his head if Serena Williams doesn't win the Ladies Singles. Needless to say, I'm hoping the other lady wins if only to see that.
4:26 am
Sally-catlover
congrats gremlinn
4:26 am
Haz1558
It's either nurturing, sprite, or bossiness!
4:26 am
sprite
or you manage to walk the very thin line between them
4:29 am
Atalante
well if Venus can go out, sereena can!

Morning all. Wow, what a beast of a grid, talk about sublime to ridiculous. I've tried looking in Facebook for Babble Community to no avail(in order to quell the panic about DrGod's plans) Any advice?

Hello, lizmac. The FB people will be able to bring you up to date on where to look.

Well, if it doesn't answer my anxieties it'll certainly improve my typing, thanks. Breakfast time, so I'll try it in a while.
4:35 am

bye liz, enjoy breakfast
4:36 am
Sally-catlover
liz, is your email on your profile the one you use on FB? If so, I will look for you and send you an invitation.
4:36 am
Atalante
there is currently great angst that it won't be compatible with lickety. but it looks like he's including a lot of lickety's features
4:36 am
Sally-catlover
PS, you don't need to type out that link, just copy and paste it.
4:36 am
Atalante
Babble Overlord It will not, unfortunately, but I'm hoping to incorporate as much of Lickety's features into the new site. And I'm sure Lickety' is getting tired of doing all that work every day anyway. I know I would be. ;)
4:39 am
Haz1558
It's achieving the balance between babble the game that he founded and was loved for what it was for quite a while and babble the game that has evolved thanks to outside forces, for want of a better term.
4:39 am
Soodle
This may sound daft, but is Dr God aka Babble Overlord?
4:39 am
Atalante
yes, soodle
4:39 am
Haz1558
Dr God is the Babble Overlord, yes.
4:39 am
Atalante
and also with him having to earn money!
4:40 am
Soodle
Well, you learn something new every day. And is Lickety just a benevolent ordinary player?
4:41 am
lynxxx
let's hope any changes do not make it too simple
4:42 am
lynxxx
Lickety is benevolent though not a player - however his wife MrPresident is
4:42 am
sprite
yes he is, Soodle
4:43 am
Soodle
What a nice guy. Without Lickety, I would have thrown my hat at Babble long ago.
4:43 am
Haz1558
I know what you mean, lynxxx, it still needs to retain a bit of difficulty.
4:43 am
Atalante
the only thing that disturbs me is that above the tile stats in the new version is something saying "click tiles for clues"
4:43 am
Haz1558
Mind you, people are inventing all sorts of ways to make things difficult for themselves. I foresee upside down and blindfolded nbt soon.
4:44 am
sprite
it would be nice if we could hide the tile stats, Ata?
4:44 am
Haz1558
Ooooh, hadn't noticed that. Maybe he'll hire babblers to sit and do nothing but give clues.
4:44 am
Dachef
blindfolded nbt took me 6 hours.
4:44 am
Kallia
but maybe the clues will be like lickety's?
4:44 am

Morning all

Your next challenge is blindfold and upside down.

Good morning, Kallia, julie.
4:45 am

I really hope DrG has contacted Lickety. It would be the least courtesy he could do.
4:45 am
sprite
hi Kallia and gary
4:46 am
Haz1558
I'm sure he's been in touch, sprite, I know he cooperated when Lickety was developing his programme.
4:46 am
garyandjulie
manic morning so been sat here last hour calmly playing to calm down has worked wonders
4:46 am
Dachef
Im currently babbling with a completely blank keyboard - no letters on it at all. Its supposed to improve touchttyping skills, but I dont think I have the patience.
4:46 am
sprite
Lickety told be back then he didn't get any answers from drG, Haz. But my info might be outdated.
4:47 am
Haz1558
You need to focus, Dachef, regroup and use all the skills embedded in you as a stakeholder. Sorry, I've just been reading a council publication.
4:47 am
sprite
lol Dachef, can't you build it up step by step? learning touchtype should go finger by finger and row by row.
4:47 am
garyandjulie
keep at it dachef it will become easier
4:47 am
garyandjulie
I learnt as a child but sometimes am to tired and type gibberish
4:48 am
Soodle
the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog....
4:48 am
Haz1558
This council publication was full of daft government speak jargon about stakeholder and synergy, but their rendition of 'gorder regions?' BOARDER.
4:48 am
sprite
when I am really tired, I tend to mix numerals into my text. Almost looks like msn lingo then.
4:49 am
Dachef
yup - regions where you board.
4:49 am
Dachef
Or regions where boards come from.
4:49 am
garyandjulie
cool sprite lol my left side bit weaker so sometimes it doesn't hit the right keys
4:50 am
Haz1558
Or the region completely occupied by boarding schools?
4:50 am
sprite
we'd make a great typed conversation then, gary ;)
4:50 am
Haz1558
Or regions occupied by boarding kennels?
4:50 am
Haz1558
Perhaps I've misjudged them.
4:51 am

I'd best go make the pasties BBL

Oh, I was thinking it was something simple - that's not so good.
4:54 am

Hopefully it won't be worst case scenario.
4:54 am

not really ok Gary...
4:54 am
Haz1558
What age is she, Kallia?
4:55 am

So, not old. Has she been in good form up until the ulcers?
4:55 am

gary glad your son is doing so well,
5:00 am
garyandjulie
he needs leg splints and tongue and hand muscles to loose but he copes wonderfully a fighter like me
5:00 am
sprite
I can imagine, Kallia. I do believe that your keeping your cat in your thoughts and heart will help, though. So maybe the not being able to focus on anything else is actually a good thing.
5:01 am
Kallia
being a fighter is what counts
5:01 am

Bah. I just had an advert on tv for a vet show. They said that the snake hadn't eaten in three months and then they said until now when she struck out at the vet. Morons the snake was fear striking not trying to eat the guy
5:09 am
Haz1558
The infamous robotic ending is here. Watch out for its infamous activites.
5:10 am

ah thanks Haz, I had dismissed it as a phantom ending. But you are right, it can be made the other way around.
5:11 am

You're welcome.
5:12 am

people can be so stupid about animals, lady :(
5:14 am
herinfernallady
I think that the vet had a reason to check the snake it was the person that wrote the piece for the voice over was a bit stupid

not bad, lady. Into a very intensive process therapy wise, but it is rewarding. New doors or windows opening. Still very enthusiastic about the TTouch. And you?
5:25 am
herinfernallady
tired. I was sleeping until LUcius climbed on me
5:25 am

are you resting up a bit? Getting new energy for next year?
5:26 am

I am. Stupid cat decided that he was hungry and leapt on my chest to wake me up
5:27 am

hehehe a great communicator
5:28 am

He is a rat bag. I swear Pandora put him up to it
5:29 am

I can see the picture. Both of them conspiring to make you into their slave
5:29 am
herinfernallady
damn straight. he jumps on me and she is always in the back ground with this smirk on her face
5:31 am
herinfernallady
It is true. He is so light and cute you can't tell him off
5:31 am

I had a cat just like him, lady. Even looked the same. Devious. But incredibly loveable
5:32 am
herinfernallady
awww. How is your Tera?
5:33 am
herinfernallady
I am watching Being Human. Rather distrubing
5:36 am
sprite
terra is good but does not like this intense heat. Heat in the netherlands is always humid and thunderstormy. So having a permanent fur coat on isn't pleasant.
5:37 am
herinfernallady
Can you clip him?
5:39 am
sprite
not without ruining his coat, I think
5:39 am
herinfernallady
mmm
5:40 am
sprite
we removed all the old hair though, so his coat is thin and ready for summer. I think it is just that it went from rather cold to very hot at once. Not just the dogs have trouble coping, the people as well.
5:41 am
herinfernallady
Feed him froozen peas
5:41 am
sprite
I make him wet in the afternoon, he loves that. Cools down a lot. And he gets ice cubes after every walk. He loves them.
5:42 am
herinfernallady
Yep
5:44 am
sprite
wow greying out the Os isn't coming easy today
5:46 am
herinfernallady
I am just stuffing about

hi Norma, hi Mom
7:08 am
Mom
I am anxious to play the "new" babble when Dr. God gets it up and running.
7:08 am
Mom
{{Lynxxx}} hello
7:08 am
Norma
What is the New Babble ????
7:08 am
NonoNanette
I wasn't aware that he was working on a "new" babble
7:09 am
Anniebrook
Hi ((Mom)) is there a new Babble?
7:09 am
Anniebrook
hi lynxxxxie
7:09 am
Mom
Here is a link where you can see yesterday's teaser ... http://twitter.com/babbleoverlord and click on the twitpic link
7:09 am
Norma
How can you improve on "Perfection" ???
7:10 am
Mom
it will still be "babble" as we know it, just tweaking it and changing the layout some what
7:10 am
Mom
for those who have facebook, under the search, type in Babble Community and you can see it there as well.
7:11 am
Anniebrook
I dont have facebook or twitter..can I still see it from your link, Mom?
7:11 am
Mom
you sure can Annie
7:11 am
Mom
I don't have twitter either
7:11 am
Anniebrook
babble is perfect, norma is right..waaaah
7:12 am
Mom
so far he has moved the state and tiles to the right instead of underneath the grid. and there will still be the chat log
7:12 am
Scrabbler
Hello all. I thought the "new" Babble would be revealed today.
7:12 am
NonoNanette
there are words in the list with letters that arn't even in that grid pictured?
7:13 am
NonoNanette
morning Scrabs
7:13 am
Anniebrook
hi scrabbs
7:13 am
Mom
I woke up at 1:10 this morning thinking it would be as well. But alas, no, just 410 word total staring me in the face
7:13 am
Anniebrook
Does anyone know if Babble Expert will be affected?
7:13 am
Mom
Nono, those were just examples
7:14 am
NonoNanette
gosh i hope not Annie!
7:14 am
Mom
Annie, sit down ,,,, it will not be compatible with Lickety
7:14 am
Scrabbler
I think that Dr God will be eliminating the connection to Expert.
7:14 am
Anniebrook
Now I am sobbing openly
7:14 am
Mom
but he is going to try and incorporate as much from Lickety as he can
7:15 am
Mom
but if you saw the teaser on twitter above the stats it said to click on a tile for a clue
7:15 am
Scrabbler
(ANNIE)--we will adjust + help one another.
7:16 am
Mom
I had better set out the Puffs
7:16 am
Anniebrook
Dr_God is going to clue us? Hicup, hicup
7:17 am
Mom
someone also mentioned under the grid on the teaser there is a button to the right and they asked if it was a rotate button but he didn't answer that question
7:18 am
Mom
I think it might offer the first two letters as lickety does, just a guess
7:18 am
herinfernallady
I don't like that clue idea
7:19 am
Mom
if that is the case, we wouldn't have to use it. you will have to click the tile to get a clue
7:19 am
Mom
{{herin}} hello
7:19 am
Anniebrook
I hope there will still be the list
7:20 am
herinfernallady
hehehe Hello. I am watching naughty pointless movie
7:20 am
Anniebrook
I love Babble just the way it is..why change it?
7:20 am
Mom
he was hoping to have it up and running by day's end yesterday
7:20 am
Anniebrook
Mom, are you saying that Lickety will not be involved at all?
7:21 am
Norma
I can't cope without lickety ....
7:21 am
Mom
recently he said he sent out an email to babbler's asking for input. Although Dr. God, if you are listening, I didn't get an email
7:21 am
Anniebrook
Lickety program is brilliant.
7:21 am
Mom
let me get his exact wording Annie, be right back
7:21 am
Norma
I am with you Annie .... don't fix it if it isn't broke
7:21 am
lynxxx
Change is good - we were all horrfied by the last batch of changes he did to the grid but we got used to it quickly
7:21 am
Anniebrook
I didnt get an email either
7:21 am
Anniebrook
Lickety's
7:22 am
herinfernallady
Yah to pointless movies
7:22 am
lynxxx
me neither Annie
7:22 am
movieman
neither did i
7:23 am
Mom
Jill Evans asked him: Jill Evans I hope the new site will still be compatible with Lickety's Babble Expert!
7:23 am
Scrabbler
I got an e-mail from Dr God asking for input.
7:23 am
Mom
he replied: Babble Overlord
It will not, unfortunately, but I'm hoping to incorporate as much of Lickety's features into the new site. And I'm sure Lickety' is getting tired of doing all that work every day anyway. I know I would be. ;)
7:24 am
Norma
Does that mean we will have the clues as they are on Lickety's now .... "hopfully"
7:24 am
Anniebrook
Lickety is wonderful to be doing all the work and I appreciate him very much but I will still miss him.
7:24 am
movieman
If Babble Expert won't be compatible, I may have to consider giving up on the game
7:24 am
lynxxx
I can't see why it would be incompatible. Lickety program is just running the letters through a program, all automatic anyway
7:24 am
rubyfoo
hello everybody! I hope the changes arent't overwhelming! This is very hard for me as it is!
7:24 am
featherbee
he also said: It's been several years since I've done anything to it. Need to keep it fresh and exciting. And I need to try and get it to make money, so it can stay afloat. ;)
7:24 am
movieman
Especially if there's a 300+word grid
7:25 am
lynxxx
'just' - perhaps the wrong word to use
7:25 am

2:22 pm
Jellen
Jes, I have a professional question for you, if you don't mind...
2:23 pm
Jellen
I'm starting to look for a dog, and know I want a mutt...
2:23 pm
jesdraggon
get a lab mix :)
2:23 pm
jesdraggon
haha! that's hilarious. i actually answered the question you were asking!
2:24 pm
jesdraggon
really though; what's your living situation? apartment? big house? fenced yard? other animals? how much time will you be able to spend with the dog?
2:24 pm
Jellen
but I'd like a smaller dog than Molly was (pit bull mix), with a sweet temperament...
2:24 pm
Ouwachita
any clue for the ir5/18 and ir6/30...last ones I need?
2:24 pm
jesdraggon
interested in doing anything social/competitive (agility, etc)
2:25 pm
Jellen
Have a house, fenced yard, doggie space in the basement...want him/her to be mostly inside though, crate trainable...
2:26 pm
Jellen
Social would be good
2:26 pm
jesdraggon
do you prefer short or long hair?
2:26 pm
Jellen
Short hair
2:26 pm
jesdraggon
do you prefer short or long hair?
2:27 pm
Jellen
Although the right dog could bend my heart to accept longer hair...
2:27 pm
wildcat17
ir + yono *** was john lennon's wife and pl
2:27 pm
jesdraggon
what kind of time and energy are you looking to spend?
2:28 pm
Kazzer99
Ouwachita - a type of wood - ir + word for fine and then vowel plus plural
2:28 pm
Ouwachita
thanks wildcat...got them both
2:28 pm
Jellen
Not sure...it depends on Tim's health...but I would have time
2:28 pm
wildcat17
and congrats
2:29 pm
Ouwachita
need a clue before i leave?
2:29 pm
Jellen
Congrats, Ouwachita!
2:29 pm
jesdraggon
well, most of the terriers would fit in size-wise, and would definitely have energy for going on jogs with you or doing agility, that sort of thing.
2:30 pm
jesdraggon
schnauzer might be a bit lower energy than something like a rat terrier for being indoor most of the time.
2:30 pm
Jellen
I like terriers...are Jack Russells too hyper?
2:30 pm
jesdraggon
boston terrier or pug would be a good choice, i think, if you can handle the snoring.
2:30 pm
jesdraggon
or a frenchie
2:31 pm
Jellen
Snoring...would join the club, lol!
2:31 pm
jesdraggon
jacks tend to be pretty energetic; i like them, but they're the type of dog that would do really well if you take him to run marathons with you :)
2:31 pm
Jellen
One cat snores, too...
2:32 pm
Jellen
Err...nice walks?
2:32 pm
jesdraggon
pomeranians and pekingese tend to have good personalities, but would require more grooming
2:32 pm
jesdraggon
pug or boston or frenchie i'm thinking though.
2:33 pm
jesdraggon
and you might look at taking home one that's about 2 years old instead of a puppy, that cuts down on the energy demand (and saves some of your furniture!)
2:33 pm
Jellen
Thanks, I'll start looking in that direction...
2:33 pm
Jellen
Can you crate train at that age?
2:33 pm
jesdraggon
warning though; it's often difficult to find small dogs in rescue, they tend to not come in often and go fast
2:33 pm
jesdraggon
you can crate train anything
2:34 pm
jesdraggon
as long as you go about it right :)
2:34 pm
Jellen
Cool...didn't train Molly...
2:34 pm
jesdraggon
just don't expect to toss them in a kennel first off and have them like it. build up slowly.
2:35 pm
jesdraggon
kennel should be their happy place, so never use it as a punishment. start with an open kennel, no door. put the dog bed and all the toys in the kennel so the dog can go in and out whenever he wants.
2:35 pm
jesdraggon
kennel should be their happy place, so never use it as a punishment. start with an open kennel, no door. put the dog bed and all the toys in the kennel so the dog can go in and out whenever he wants.
2:35 pm
jesdraggon
feed him in the kennel, that often helps.
2:36 pm
Jellen
Food = happy. Got it!
2:36 pm
jesdraggon
once he's going readily in and out for breakfast and dinner, put the door back on the kennel, and when he goes in for breakfast, close the door.
2:36 pm
Jellen
Toys = happy
2:36 pm
jesdraggon
as SOON as he stops eating, before he notices that he's stuck, open the door.
2:37 pm
jesdraggon
do that for a couple days, so there's no stress about the door closing behind him.
2:37 pm
jesdraggon
then start delaying opening the door a few minutes.
2:38 pm
jesdraggon
if he whines or barks, do NOT open the door. dogs are really weird, and the first time you open the door when he whines, he will learn that whining opens the door, even if you've opened it while he's quiet 5 dozen times before.
2:38 pm
jesdraggon
stand quietly out of sight until he pauses to take a breath; the instant he shuts up, open the door.
2:39 pm
bichon
one of the best methods of house breaking a dog is to have leir lead tied to your belt. They will follow you around and if they make a motion to squat in the house, you have them there to pick up and take outside
2:39 pm
jesdraggon
gradually extend the amount of time the door is closed until he just is quiet in the kennel and waits for you to let him out.
2:39 pm
redturtlehead
I had one Dog love the Crate, but Teulu coudl not stand it after he had a miserable diarrhea episode once when I was at work...it sprayed out of the crate and all over the walls. Luckily he doen't need it now.
2:40 pm
jesdraggon
especially at first, always have something good in the kennel, every time you put them in.
2:40 pm
jesdraggon
a meal, or a treat or toy that they only ever get in the kennel
2:40 pm
jesdraggon
then pick that treat up when you let them out, and they don't get it back until the next time they're kenneled
2:40 pm
redturtlehead
but I still support Crate training!
2:41 pm
Jellen
Wow, I'm learning lots! Such wisdom babblers have!

my hound dog will open the crate door and let herself in now; and i didn't start kenneling her until she was over a year old. and she'd had the lovely experience of being at the humane society in the very loud and crowded kennels there for about a month before i took her home.
2:43 pm
Jellen
I may break down and get a bigger dog, but I couldn't lift Molly easily, either for baths or transport....
2:43 pm
sciencegeek
de 7 please
2:43 pm
jesdraggon
teaching the dog that the kennel is a happy place can come in REALLY handy later--not just for kenneling while you're out of the house for several hours, but if you have to travel, they're less likely to get upset if they have their "den" along with them in the hotel room or at a strange house, and many boarding facilities will let you put it in the run with them if you ever have to board him.

New puppy being delivered Sunday - am enjoying all the training info!
2:44 pm
Jellen
Hi, hurshy
2:44 pm
jesdraggon
tangentially, a really good thing to do with any dog is to get an emery board/nail file, and play with their toes every night. pick a time when the dog is sleepy and happy, and make it quiet low-stress.
2:44 pm
Jellen
Makes me want to get on petfinder.com right now!
2:45 pm
redturtlehead
Or you could just go over to the humane socienty.
2:45 pm
jesdraggon
hold the foot (do not let go if the dog pulls back, that teaches them to pull away) and reward calm behavior (not fussing or crying) with treats or petting (sometimes helps to have someone else with treats)
2:45 pm
Jellen
Oh, that's good...wish I'd done that with the cats...
2:45 pm
redturtlehead
jes, that is a very very good idea.
2:46 pm
jesdraggon
when they will let you hold the feet calmly, start filing the nails. you don't have to worry about pinching or cutting too close if the dog fusses, and if he gets his nose down or licks at it, he won't cut himself.
2:46 pm
jesdraggon
and it makes things MUCH easier when you do have to trim the nails.
2:46 pm
wildcat17
same with their mouths .. you have to be able to take their food away without having them growl or bite
2:46 pm
Jellen
red, I'm at the hospital in Springfield, MO...
2:46 pm
redturtlehead
It has taken the entire 4 years of teulus life now to have him let me train teulu to let me do the nails...
2:46 pm

How is TIm hanging in there jellen?
2:47 pm
bichon
I take Bisky to the groomer every two months and they do his nails. The sidewalk does the rest
2:47 pm
Jellen
He's doing pretty well...not in pain, which makes a big difference!
2:47 pm
jesdraggon
obedience classes are great--as much for the socialization skills and learning to focus on you when other stuff is going on as because you need someone to teach you how to teach a dog to sit!
2:47 pm
Jellen
Read my profile for more info...
2:47 pm
redturtlehead
that is excellent. Jellen, that the pain is under control..

2:53 pm
jesdraggon
lessee. other things about little dogs. oh! teeth! assume that you will need to have them in to have a full dental cleaning annually. the farther away they are from looking like a coyote, the worse dental problems we expect.
2:54 pm
jesdraggon
brushing at home helps, too--your vet should have low-fluoride, flavored toothpastes to use.
2:54 pm
Jellen
Dental cleaning...check!
2:55 pm
wildcat17
me 2 hursh let me know when you find it
2:55 pm
sammysmom
no 7.28??
2:55 pm
jesdraggon
many rescues will already have microchipped the dog before adopting it out, but if they don't, i recommend it.
2:55 pm
Pinikula
jes...how much does a full dental cleaning cost in your neck of the woods?
2:55 pm
hurshy
let us not have any ceremonies, sammysmom... ** *****
2:55 pm
jesdraggon
if she ever winds up at a shelter or lost, it really increases your chances of getting her back
2:56 pm
jesdraggon
way WAY less than it should, pini. runs about $160 with pre-anesthetic blood.
2:56 pm
sammysmom
thanks hurshy
2:56 pm
Pinikula
OK (better than what the vet I talked to wants)
2:57 pm
jesdraggon
if you go down to Spokane (about 50 miles away) it runs $350-500. and I've seen folks from Seattle bring in records/bllls quoting $500-$700 (those usually include dental x-rays, which we don't have the equipment to do here)
2:57 pm
jesdraggon
more if they need any extractions or anything
2:58 pm
Pinikula
I was quoted a base of 400-600 + everything else :(
2:58 pm
sciencegeek
last or 6/7 combo please
2:58 pm
hurshy
there's more than one or6/7 combo? sigh. i have one, it sounds like a brand of frozen potatoes, if that helps.
2:58 pm
jesdraggon
it varies pretty dramatically between clinics and areas.
2:59 pm
sciencegeek
no that is not the last ones
2:59 pm
Pinikula
* sigh * I guess so...
2:59 pm
hurshy
ooh, i found them
2:59 pm
hurshy
you just change the middle e to an o
3:00 pm
sciencegeek

3:00 pm
Pinikula
is there anything a dog can chew on and serve double duty? (i.e., serving as a toy and dental tool like rope or something?)
3:00 pm
jesdraggon
we scrape by with really low bills on a lot of things here, because we're pretty small and don't have a lot of outgoing money--which has disadvantages; we'll have to raise prices on a bunch of stuff if we want to upgrade our x-ray machine or buy a new probe for the ultrasound, for instance.
3:01 pm
jesdraggon
there are lots of dental chews out there. avoid the nylabones, though; they are so hard that some dogs can fracture teeth on them.
3:01 pm
Pinikula
btw: how's Rascal doing?
3:01 pm
jesdraggon
you can find enzyme-infused rawhides, that kind of thing. none of it really replaces brushing though, any more than eating carrots replaces brushing for you :P
3:01 pm
Pinikula
* note: no nylabones *
3:01 pm
jesdraggon
speaking of, carrot sticks and canned green beans make good, low-fat treats.
3:02 pm
Pinikula
I thought rawhide wasn't good for dogs?
3:02 pm
jesdraggon
last i heard, rascal's doing great, but it's been a while since i heard from his new home.
3:02 pm
Pinikula
good to know!
3:02 pm
Pinikula
Koda LOVES baby carrots
3:02 pm
jesdraggon
eh. if they swallow the whole rawhide they can choke on it. but if they chew on it, it's fine. just make sure it's an appropriate size for the dog (no knots just the right size to swallow at a gulp!)
3:04 pm
Pinikula
so get something the size of his ears? larger? smaller?
3:04 pm
jesdraggon
mine don't get rawhides much, because my hound thinks all rawhides everywhere are her personal and private property, and she will kick anybody's butt that says otherwise.
3:04 pm

the kitten was frustrating because they called twice before they decided to come in, then took 3 times as long to get to the clinic as they said (15 minutes is not the same as 45!) and then the kitten clawed my hand up nicely.

What do you think of the proposed changes to babble?
4:23 pm
Atalante
I'm sure DrG wants to make it better, but personally I'm quite happy as it is. But he has to make money with it, so he needs to make it do that
4:24 pm
Dorens
he did a great job with it so far, I trust his "improvements" will be just fine
4:25 pm
Soodle
Ditto. Not broken, don't fix, is my motto. Ermmmm, is this going to cost us money? (fumbling in purse, hunting down the sides of armchairs for loose change....)
4:26 pm
Atalante
he said that no old pros will have to pay anything, but that there might be things we might choose to "upgrade" to
4:26 pm
Dorens
can't speak for anyone but me... I certainly get more enjoyment out of this game every single day than I have from things that have cost far more...if he needs a few more bucks, I would surely be willing to "upgrade"
4:27 pm
jacq
define old pro? does he mean chronologically?
4:27 pm
Soodle
'Mutters' will have to dig deeper into sofas , under beds, and old coat pockets for spare coins.
4:27 pm
Dorens
i would imagine he means anyone who is already pro
4:27 pm
Atalante
as in someone who is subscribed now, to this site
4:27 pm
jacq
i agree with dorens regarding enjoyment, and at such a cheap price too
4:28 pm
Soodle
Hey, I quite like being called an Old Pro, (strictly in Babble terms, of course)

4:35 pm
Soodle
LOL. When i was a kid, a mom on the road used to call in her kids, saying, Come in, your steak will be burned. Years later, I discovered that the kids thought that Fish-fingers were called steak....

4:40 pm
jacq
we used to get it in and it was so soft you couldn't hold it to fillet it and it stank
4:40 pm
Riverdance
no fish is cheap - but I know what you mean - when we want good stuff we go to the fish market for fresh
4:41 pm
jacq
they may take our lives but they will never take our freedom!!!!
4:41 pm
Riverdance
oh that is cool soodle - did you get over while they were filming
4:41 pm

4:50 pm
jacq
i would get nothing done if i did that, and i wouldn;t get the peace to play anyway
4:50 pm
Riverdance
so wish I had a laptop that had wireless internet to take to hospital with me - I am going to have major babble withdrawal

4:51 pm
Dorens
i Do get nothing done, but i get the grid (most days... once in a while i fall asleep first)
4:52 pm
Dorens

4:52 pm
bethn
hi all! I just checked babble on FB, Dr. God says he has the rotate feature up and running : )
4:52 pm
Nancy Boy
Depending on what model of mobile phone you have, River, you may be able to use that to babble?
4:53 pm
Riverdance
I know they have one in the pediatric ICU - I used it two weeks ago - but he may go to the regular unit instead - depends on beds - i want something to do other than read during the 8-10 hour procedure
4:53 pm
jacq
ohhh i dn't know about there but when my oldest daughter was expecting she was rushed into hospital and while they were assessing her we looked at the pricing for tv and internet in her ward and it was horrendously expensive
4:53 pm
Riverdance
I have a basic phone with no frills
4:54 pm
sciencegeek
NM - your new photo is AWESOME! You are so handsome
4:54 pm
Dorens
i have a relatively fancy droid, but it is not easy to babble
4:54 pm
Riverdance
rotate - that will make it interesting
4:54 pm

reload them on lickety - that has happened to me with my own imput in the wrong place

New site makes Lickety redundant, if I read it all correctly. Might also make we cluers redundant, too. AND YOU CAN ROTATE THE GRID.

not commonly, Lynxxx. but it is used
9:30 pm

redundant cluers?!?!?! What is the world coming to?

9:32 pm

is it not in a rightful place now?

River - most of us don't like change,as in 'if it's not broke don't fix it!'. However, there were some changes many of us would like to see and have asked for. Jamie 'may' have gone too far. Don't know. I do hope he tones down the colours for the new site though.

I am very disappointed with your town leaders. The voted on an item that wasn't on the agenda. Some townsfolk thought it was necessary to rename the main drag in town Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. The business owners and residents of this street heatedly had voiced their opinion in the past simply because of the expense involved, not to mention the hassle. But because of a few, the board caved under pressure, voted on it underhandedly so now our little town forks over precious money for something I'm dure MLK would have never ever wanted.
10:04 pm
Jellen
pe 5/12, the first?

An online nurse friend of mine says her mother is always calling us her "little internet friends" which she *thinks* is a way to refer to us as all being imaginary (nevermind that we had a gathering of 30 of us in Las Vegas a couple of years ago and had a BBQ at this same gals' house!
11:19 pm
m9f9l
besides. you're not listening to us. you're reading us!
11:19 pm
stidmama
I don't think chat room acquaintances are very different from the old-fashioned penpals... and in fact refer to you-all as penpals when speaking about you to technophobes!
11:19 pm
Pinikula
ROFL, cute nef!
