We had a trainer work with Angel for a long time to get her more calm in the presence of other dogs. It may just be the dog barks and sounds aggressive because he or she can't see who is going by and it is frustrating to the dog. KGMom, thank you for the encouragement, I do believe the snow will melt, and will repeat that periodically! Liz, thanks, and yes, the two are at least coexisting, if not in the same room. I have heard you all have had some nasty weather this past several months with lots of wind. Hope you have all survived it well!Mauigirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15529827915262851910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34240686.post-52915161518149656432014-03-03T11:19:41.684-05:002014-03-03T11:19:41.684-05:00All your renovations look great!

I love that she and Baxter manage to co-exist in spite of their differences.<br /><br />Good luck with all that snow.

Having survived a major kitchen/bathroom renovation myself, I can empathize with you.<br /><br />My next door neighbor has a pit...not so nice, however. It is very aggressive when kids just walk by on the sidewalk. I'm not so sure the neighbor is in full control of the dog. Fortunately, except for a crack in the gate, her yard is wood fenced in. From what I understand, it is a rescue dog, that is to say it was taken from it's original owners because they abused the dog. It definitely still has some issues.jadedjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16569736113526368917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34240686.post-28298396674639835582014-03-02T17:37:09.514-05:002014-03-02T17:37:09.514-05:00Amanda, thanks.

It was done by the owners (without professional help) probably back in the 60s or so. The cabinets were solid wood but the Formica countertop did not fit well and the whole setup seemed too low slung because of the dropped ceiling. It's so nice now to have the ceiling back up where it belongs! Kulkuri, our other dog, who is also a pit bull, is great with cats and gets along with most other dogs (with a few exceptions, just like anyone!). They are all individuals. :-) We think Angel's problem is she wasn't socialized with other animals when she was young because she was probably kept in a basement and just used for breeding. She has made great progress since we have had her in terms of her overreactivity to other animals, but still isn't there yet when it comes to our cat!<br />Mauigirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15529827915262851910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34240686.post-12844137562326849902014-03-02T10:31:06.727-05:002014-03-02T10:31:06.727-05:00Your bath and kitchen remodels turned out nice.
...Your bath and kitchen remodels turned out nice. <br /><br />Pitbulls are friendly with people but tend to see other animals as lunch. My neighbor has a Pitt and two Pitt-Boxer crosses. They are overly friendly towards people, but I wouldn't drop a cat into the mix.Kulkurihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09198195648066700925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34240686.post-53319648687572493582014-03-02T09:16:07.392-05:002014-03-02T09:16:07.392-05:00The kitchen and bathroom look amazing!

Now I understand the picture of the table in the middle of the kitchen that you'd posted on Facebook :)<br /><br />Our kitchen is the original "contractor's kitchen" from when the house was built in the mid 1980's. The cabinets are particle board covered with this papery stuff... ick. Oh well, it's functional and someday we'll get it to look a bit less dated.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14775794907218052899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34240686.post-23450114571921275382014-03-01T17:04:15.427-05:002014-03-01T17:04:15.427-05:00Thanks Ginny!

We're going to the home and garden show next friday and hopefully talk to some kitchen experts to see what is possible with our budget. I wish this damn snow would depart so you can resume a normal life. I totally envy you the delivered groceries...what a blessing that is...Glad all are well and happy even though you are locked down..I've become quite a crafter recently...really gotten into it..hoping to open an eclectic Etsy store in a few months when I have more to offer. I'm still making things for myself mostly...lol..Again, glad you are back with us...I've been waiting!Sherry Peytonhttp://afeatheradrift.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34240686.post-25100098933430464502014-03-01T16:36:31.479-05:002014-03-01T16:36:31.479-05:00Beautiful renovations! -GinnyBeautiful renovations! -GinnyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
