Where to start?

miss_ytWell, it's been an eventful couple of days. I successfully saw through the Yom Kippur fast on Thursday, I took Roo to her second vet appointment on Friday (the rain, and my lack of a proper carrier on the way back, made that very complicated), and today ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ironroot and I designed my D&D character. I have to ask one of the other players if our two characters can be related. It's complicated - I'll explain it if it works out. My friend Martine, now a senior at Bryn Mawr, is flying home from Atlanta tonight. She's going to spend the night here and meet Roo.
Speaking of Roo, I got a little spray bottle that I hope I can use to train her not to bite. The vet says she needs to be trained now, or she will not get out of the habit when she grows up. I'm hoping I can do that without making Roo hate me or something.
Oh, and I also made a discovery. I was wrapping the yarn around the needle the wrong way when I knitted. Now I've corrected the mistake. It takes some getting used to, but I can see that it's working - my stitches aren't too tight anymore and the yarn I'm working with doesn't get twisted. Yay!

Date: 2005-10-16 04:22 pm (UTC)Same idea as coating a child's fingers with pepper to discourage them from thumb sucking or biting nails only a lot less cruel, safe for animals, and not painful. It's just got a nasty bitter taste (that, I repeat, is safe for animals).
They have bitter lime gel to spread on furniture and electrical wires for pets that chew on those.
Bitter Apple has been in our standard ferret care bag of tricks for many years.
