tags: @sweetkingdomstarlight-blog @jessibelle-nerdy-mum @nonsensicalobsessions @damalseer @hiddlesbitch1 @winterisakiller @fairlightswiftly @salempoe @wolfsmom1

If you wish to be tagged, please let me know.

Two days, it had been two days since the argument and Danielle leaving, and if he was honest, Tom felt as miserable about it, if not worse since then. She had not made contact with him while he was sitting in the house that did nothing but remind him of her. Her parents' clock ticking in the living room, her books among his own, even her laundry, which he brought to the laundrette as well as his own, he just wanted to know where he stood. He thought a lot about what Ben had said, he was right, he could only accept what Danielle decided, so though he wanted to know, he waited, badgering her would only end in more arguing and perhaps a wrong decision. Parking his car after meeting with the fitters for his Gucci suits and casual wear for the Milan show, he walked back into the house, bird food in hand. He thought with Danielle gone, the birds would need more food, so he had taken a photo of the food she had been using and went and retrieved some more.

When he went into the house, he noticed a large clump of fluff in front of him, grey in colour. Frowning, he looked at it for a moment, then going into the kitchen and putting the birdfeed on the counter before going back into the hall to investigate it further. To his shock, it was one of a few clumps, which seemed to be clinging to anything in their way, one at the living room door telling him that it as more than likely coming from in there. He opened the door and his eyes widened. There were several more clumps, some of grey, some of tan colour, and in the middle of them, a panting Mac Tíre, who seemed very uncomfortable. It was then, as another grey clump stuck up on the dog's back, did Tom realise he was the source of the fluff invasion. Concerned, he tried to think if Mac had ingested something on their walk earlier in the day, but couldn't think of anything. As Mac sat up and scratched, more fur came out in large clumps before he shook himself, his fur flying different directions.

Part of Tom thought to bring him to the vet and say nothing to Danielle, knowing that if there was an issue, she would only be worrying, but he knew the right thing to do, so taking out his phone, he got up her number and pressed dial.

"Hello." he was startled when another voice answered.

"Is Danielle there?"

"Sure, I'll…wait, are you Tom?"

To be honest, Tom was shocked the other girl guessed him. "Yes."

He could hear her purse her lips, "Is it important?"

Tom stared at the phone screen for a second, the girl on the other side clearly knew about Danielle's argument with him and was giving him attitude regarding him contacting her. "It is actually, yes, it is about her dog, so please could you put her on."

He heard a muffling noise on the other end of the phone as well as a voice in the distance. "He's politer than I thought," he heard the mystery girl state. "He said it is to do with the dog."

"Give me that," He heard the phone being moved around. "Tom?"

"Elle," for a moment, relief filled him at even hearing her say his name. "Hi."

"Hey." there was an awkwardness to her voice. "Siobhan said that you said something about Mac."

"Yes," Tom snapped himself out of his daze. "He is…well, I think he is sick."

"Right, what has happened, tell me what he is doing and what he did over the past twenty-four hours." her tone became serious.

"Honestly, I am racking my brain, but I cannot think of anything out of the ordinary, he's only had his usual food, he has not had a chance to eat anything in the park." Tom sounded half frantic.

"Okay," Danielle stated in her best 'paramedic in an emergency' voice, "What exactly is he doing? Throwing up, having seizures?"

"His hair, it is falling out in huge clumps."

"You mean there are bald patches?"

"No, not that I can see," There was silence on the other end of the phone, "Elle?"

"Tom," her tone was far less concerned. "Is it really really soft fur, almost like a cotton texture?"

Tom picked some up and felt it. "Yes." he was unsure what he expected to be Danielle's reply, but her erupting in laughter was not what he expected. "How is this funny?" That seemed to only set her off more.

"I am so sorry Tom." though she still had a laughing tone to her voice, she seemed somewhat remorseful for something. "God, you've been freaking out, I am so sorry."

"It's not a problem?"

"No, Jesus, I am terrible, I forgot to tell you."

"Tell me what?" He asked worriedly.

"German Shepherds shed."

"What?"

"They are nicknamed by owners as German Shedders, they have this weird fluffy undercoat for the winter, every spring it starts to shed in huge fluff balls."

Tom felt sheepish. "Really?"

"Yes, certain breeds do it, Shepherds, Huskies, Malamutes, it's awkward, annoying and hairy, but it is totally normal."

"So I don't need to bring him to the vet?"

"No, I will Google groomers, they will take what is able to be removed from him."

"How long does it take?"

"The shedding? A few weeks."

"He has the place covered." Tom looked around, in one day, the dog had infested the living room with fluffy clumps.

"I am so sorry Tom, if it is too much bother, send him to the kennels if he is wrecking the place."

"No, it's fine, it's not like he does it on purpose, I was just worried."

"You're too good." He could hear Danielle smiling on the other end. "Is he doing okay?"

"Yeah, apart from giving me a carpet I never actually wanted," Danielle laughed at that, "He misses you, obviously, but I got him a toy, a Kong, it's called, he loves it."

"They are great, I can imagine him with it. I miss him too."

"How is Ireland?" Tom asked, noting sadly how she didn't say she missed him. "You told that girl about me."

"Yeah, that's my cousin Siobhan. She asked why I came early and we got talking a bit more."

"She knew my name, does she…?"

"Yes, she knows you are you," Danielle answered.

"When did you…?"

"When I arrived, we got talking in the car, so I told her about you."

"Will she…?"

"No, she won't, she told me something, something that is seriously… God, it is just so stressful…"

"Elle?" Tom asked, hearing the stress in her voice.

"It's fine, just family crap."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, I just wish I had you…" Tom's heart fluttered for a moment. "I wish I didn't have to deal with it." Though he was saddened with her alteration, he was glad to hear her slight admission, it gave him some hope. "You nearly ready for Milan?"

Shocked that she was asking him such a thing, he smiled. "Yes, yes, we are after getting the final fitting for the suits, they are quite nice, I think you'd like them."

"That's good, are they being done there or…"

"No, the measurements are sent to Milan so I don't have to drag them across."

"Very handy." There was a moment of silence on both ends of the phone. "Thank you for calling Tom."

"I was worried."

"I know, but thank you for thinking to tell me."

"I am glad I did, could you imagine the face of the girl in the vets if I rang or ran in with…" he stopped speaking because Danielle erupted in all-out laughter once more at the other end of the line, causing him to chuckle. "Yeah."

It took a full minute for her to stop. "God, I would have paid to see that."

"Yes, and God forbid if someone realised who I was."

"Yes, that would have been funny to read." Danielle's tone altered slightly. "It's good talking to you again, Tom."

"Likewise." Tom agreed, forcing himself to not say anything for a few moments, knowing what he would say if he did. "I was talking to Ben the day after you left."

"How is Sophie?"

"Ready for the baby to be born."

"I'd bet. I cannot wait for it to get here, I may have gone to the shops again."

"Jesus, you don't even know what they are having."

"I know, I may have bought a bit of both gender stuff, but let's face it, at my age, I know a few people having kids, it'll get used." She dismissed. "My final results may come during the week; if you're home when they do, could you…"

"Of course, I will put them somewhere safe."

"Actually, I was going to ask if you could call me?"

"Really?"

"Yeah, I am so anxious about them."

"Why, you worked so hard?"

"Exactly, I am terrified it wasn't enough, I know I won't be able to just wait, I will be restless."

"If I am home, I will ring you," Tom swore.

"Thank you." Danielle's genuine gratitude was obvious. "How are you?"

"Fine, yeah, just busy getting ready."

"Have you attempted the washing machine?" Tom did not respond, causing Danielle to laugh a little. "You're going to have to get used to doing it, you know."

Tom felt his heart sink at that implication. "Yeah, I suppose."

"Thank you for ringing Tom, it was good to hear your voice."

"You sound tired."

"I am, I'm not getting much sleep."

"What…?"

"My aunt, she is making things really difficult here."

"I would have thought, with everything…"

"No, she hasn't focused on anything other than…well, I don't want to annoy or bore you, let's just say it is hard work with her here at the moment, I really…" He heard Danielle inhale deeply. "Your call was actually really well-timed."

"Glad I could be of service," Tom joked slightly.

"I better go here, costing us both a fortune in international calls, thank you for calling Tom, if he has any issue, call me, okay?"

"I promise, if you need to…if you want to check on him, I can send a picture." � "I'd like that, thank you."

"Bye Elle."

"Bye Tom."

Hearing her say his name like that broke Tom's heart, she seemed so upset. He looked around at Mac, "She wants you to go to the groomers hairy boy." Mac's ears went up. "You need it."

Danielle looked at the phone in her hand, cursing herself for being so weak, so many times in the phone call she came too close to telling Tom she was sorry and that she wanted him there. It felt so good to hear his voice, to be able to talk to him.

"You are cracking," Siobhan commented.

Danielle looked at her. "No, just rose-tinted glasses."

"He sounds really nice."

"He is." Danielle looked at the picture on her screen, it didn't show Tom's face, but it was his back and Mac as the pair sat on a hill looking over the Welsh countryside from the time he visited her on set in Wales.

"So, why not forgive his 'booboo'?"

"Because I have to have some self-respect."

"You're so fucking stubborn." Siobhan scoffed. "You'll end up alone if you don't cop on." Danielle just looked at the phone for another moment, but before she could do anymore, Siobhan looked out the window. "Mam's back."

"Fuck." Readying herself for another battle, Danielle thought for another second about Tom before putting her phone away.

In this exclusive clip from the 1930s, Confederate veterans step up to the mic and let out their version of the fearsome rallying cry Nicole May 16, 2015 at 4:14 pm But if you have mobility problems or live on the top floor of a high-rise building, getting outside quickly is impossible. Then you have to choose a bathroom spot inside your home, at least until your puppy has developed some strong bladder control. As leader, use a happy, enthusiastic tone when praising your pup for good behavior. Generous amounts of praise for good behavior will pay off. From the dog’s point of view a reward means you like the behavior and want more of it. Never reward fearful behavior by “soothing” it with a soft voice or stroking. This only reinforces the bad behavior. Praise and discipline should not be confusing. Use a stern and loud tone when correcting bad behavior. Your tone becomes the signal and provides the feedback pups understand. Puppy Love is owned by Dr. Kay Stephens, DVM,MS, a veterinarian, dog trainer, animal behaviorist, and TAMU graduate (Class of ’79, ’80, ’83). Puppy Love specializes in “clicker training”, a positive, scientifically proven approach to training that anyone can do and every dog will love. Puppy Love has been making training your dog fun, easy, and effective since 1992. At what age is it optimal to do house training? It starts with the breeder. As soon as the puppies start eating solid food, their mom will stop cleaning their den and they’ll be ready to start learning. So, if you start between seven and eight weeks, your puppy will learn everything faster than in seven days – if you follow this guide. The older your puppy is before potty training starts, the longer it will take because your puppy will have to change their habits – and that takes a little longer. Rachel All pups use their teeth. They nipped at their littermates as a way to establish the pecking order. Their mother never permitted them to nip her and she punished them swiftly when they attempted it. Her consistent behavior taught them about corrections and bad behavior. Ask Our Trainers: My Puppy Won’t Leave the Cat Alone Hearne, Vicki (1987).

But don’t get complacent, or your dog’s toilet training can lapse. Continue with the toilet training routine until you are sure that your puppy knows never to go indoors and can wait to go outside. Gradually phase out numerous outdoor trips, but if there are any accidents just start increasing the number of visits again. Your feedback is private. Name a Puppy Obituaries This also trains you to see that accidents are not the dogs fault. If the dog is leashed to you/in the same room as you, and still having accidents, then there’s no way you can be angry at the dog, because you are not paying enough attention! Being angry at your dog or punishing him just for relieving himself (no matter if you consider it to be in the ‘wrong’ place) is detrimental to his learning, and your relationship with him, so this is an important part of the process. 30 The belief that pups should not be trained until they are at least six months to one year of age is not true. All dogs can benefit from obedience training as early as seven weeks and also when the puppy enters its new home. By six months of age, almost all behavior problems are already in place. This means that early training can be used to avoid problems before they become more difficult and frustrating. Bad habits are hard to correct, therefore owners should never allow nipping, chewing, digging, barking, mounting, etc. which are all normal behaviors but, if left uncorrected, can lead to behavior problems. Dogs learn each day what behavior will or will not be allowed. Remember that bad habits are hard to change.

"Cheap car insurance for a 17 year old?

Hi iv just bought a Volkswagen Golf S 1.4l engine and can only get quotes for car insurance of around 4k - 11k. Does anyone know of any insurance companies who can offer a lot less on insurance for teenagers? Thanks

Can someone convince me Car insurance isn't a complete waste of money.?

I'm only just turning 18 so I've never bought insurance myself my whole life. My stance on insurance is this: You might not have full coverage, they'll try to weasel out of paying you AND you might go for years without getting into an accident. In that time, if you pool up the money you'd have spent on car insurance you'd be able to pay for a car accident anyways. Now I'm just pulling this out of my butt, I don't have much of a basis on saying these things other than its just how i feel about it all, which is why I'm here. What creases me the most out of all this is that i hear car insurance for people my age is high, they treat us all the same and were not given a chance. Apparently no one sees age discrimination if it were slapped on to their face. They force you to have car insurance in Ontario which to me sounds a little ridiculous because i thought insurance was a service, an offer provided by companies, not an obligatory contract the government makes you pay for even if you don't want it. You can see my clear disposition against it at all, quite frankly i about don't wanna drive at all at this point. Though I want to be convinced because Canada's winters are cold, and modern life today kind of requires you to have your own mode of transportation.""

Did the job!! I was sent home 4 hours later! Now two weeks later I get a phone call from my Primary care Doctors office manager saying that my primary received a memo from my health insurance (after my ER visit) company and I was instructed to call and make an appointment for alcoholism counseling???? The night of the incident where I couldn't swallow, and was in pain! we had guests over and had a few beers! I gave the attending ER doctor all information including I had drank beer an hour before I got there. OK, now, For the 16 hours at the hospital and the multiple blood tests, everybody including the Dr's said everything looked good! and the Dr. that discharged me explained to my wife in detail about my blood work, said things were fine.

However i am a responsible driver but i do want either an Eclipse or a Trans Am. Your time is much appreciated:) thank you!!""

How will adding 40 million more people to the Health Insurance rolls improve Health Care?

But don't be misled. We know the status quo is unsustainable. If we do nothing, millions more Americans will be denied insurance because of pre-existing conditions, or see their coverage suddenly dropped if they become seriously ill. Out-of-pocket expenses will continue to soar, and more and more families and businesses will be forced to deal with health insurance costs they cant afford. David Axelrod Senior Advisor to the President Why suddenly focus on the insurance industry? If, as Axelrod says, the status quo is unsustainable .. How will adding 40 million more to the insurance rolls suddenly make it sustainable ? . How will adding to the costs of Insurance Companies decrease their costs? . How will doing nothing , and thereby sustaining the huge profits of the drug industry and the medical industry, reduce medical care costs to the average American?""

""No insurance, spun out on highway during severe snow storm and was hit. Who is at fault?""

The section of highway I was driving on was 2 lanes wide and straight for a mile. Traffic traveling the opposite direction was separated by about 100 feet of grass. The maximum speed limit is 65mph and the minimum is 45mph. I was traveling at an estimated 45mph in the slow lane. The tail end of my car began to slide out to the right and I was unable to correct this due to the terrible conditions of the road. I spun completely around and was facing directly into traffic in the fast lane. A car traveling in the fast lane (at a rate of speed unknown to me) hit me head on, totaling both cars. Its hard to be sure, but I am estimating that the time between initial loss of control and impact was around 10 - 15 seconds. There were no injuries. I did not have insurance on my car due to being a college student and not having help from my parents. It is not legally necessary to possess insurance. Two months later, a collection agency is looking for $3,472 from me. Should I have to pay this?""

Want a Therapy Dog for Your Funeral Home? Learn How to Start the Process

After our touching story covering Kermit the therapy dog going to meet Florida shooting survivors we began to wonder about exactly what it takes for a funeral home to add a friendly therapy dog to their team. We contacted one of the most famous death care therapy dogs online to learn more and his owner Mellissa Unfred (aka Modern Mortician on Instagram) shared her dog Kermit’s story with Connecting Directors. Below you will learn how Unfred came to unite with Kermit and the path of getting him to a fully certified and proud Therapy Dog.

——————————————————————————————–

Mellissa Unfred: The Modern Mortician – Once upon a time, while serving my apprenticeship in a dusty little West Texas town, I read an article online about a dog named Lulu working in a funeral home. I chuckled to myself, imagining taking my cat to funerals as therapy for others, and thinking if I ever had a dog, what a wonderful gift to the families to have a sidekick capable of serving not only me, but the community as well.

In the summer of 2016, at the urging of my primary care physician and therapist, I began to look for a dog companion to serve as my ESA (emotional support animal) to combat and soothe personal medical needs. My cat, Bella, had died from cancer a year prior, so my home and heart were open to a new companion.

I began by checking my local shelters in Austin, and a few days later found myself on Petfinder.com staring longingly at a black and white pup with mismatched eyes. I distinctly remember thinking to myself, “this is a dog you can talk to about death…”

At first, the shelter I rescued him from had dubbed him Slash. I pondered several days on what to name him, and then one afternoon it all came together: Widdle Kermit Ambrosius Von Prygodski. His name was a homage to so many things… however, I call him Kermit the Dog. The internet knows him as #DeathPositivePup and #GriefTherapyKermit.

That first night I brought him home, he accompanied me on 2 nursing home removals, staying tucked into the floorboard of the service van while I worked. The following morning, I logged into the Nextdoor neighborhood app and began to look for a dog trainer to prepare my new companion for life as an ESA.

Kermit began training on his basics; how to walk on a lead, come, heel. Commands like sit, stay, wait; everything a good dog should know to exhibit good manners. When he turned 11 months old, he took his first exam for the Canine Good Citizenship designation. I went on to Google to find an accredited testing site, and signed up to take this test at Petco. The exam proctor had a list of tasks Kermit would have to pass in order to earn his CGC. They varied from sit and stay, to walking past another dog without barking or interacting, and even placing Kermit in a stay position in the center of the store, while I was asked to leave his sight for a total of 3 minutes! When he passed this test, I was ready to introduce him to my doctors to get their approval, and letters designating him as an ESA. After that meeting, we were presented with documents allowing Kermit to accompany me in many daily activities, including flying.

As Kermit interacted with more people, I wanted to research the next step past emotional support; Therapy Dog. I wanted him to be able to serve the public, not just me. In our area, we had several non-profit dog therapy groups that offered proper training to certify the dog as a legitimate therapy dog. I selected to train and test with The Dog Alliance. There are rules to before you can begin training as a therapy dog:

1. Pups must be at least one year old.

2. They must have never trained in Schutzhund.

3. There can be no history of aggression.

4. Any breed of pup may be qualified to become a therapy dog, however:

“The dogs must enjoy people- they must seek people out and enjoy being handled and hugged by them. We have this saying that we can teach excellent obedience skills- we can’t teach a dog to love to be hugged by complete strangers.”- Carolyn Honish, trainer, The Dog Alliance

Kermit was allowed to begin training at 1 year of age. Every Saturday, we would join a class of 14 other pups and handlers, and go over the prior weeks lesson, then cover the new lesson, following with a run thru. The rest of the week we were on our own. After 2 months into a 3 month course, Kermit was allowed to test early, and he passed! The test was very difficult, and I am glad we were so serious about our training. We were now Texas’ first certified therapy dog team in Funeral Care!

There are 4 levels of working dog:

1. Comfort or Companion Dog

A Comfort or Companion Dog is a household pet or work companion without formal certification or working dog training.

2. Emotional Support Animal (ESA)

An Emotional Support Animal (ESA) companion animal that a medical professional has determined provides benefit for an individual with a disability. This may include improving at least one characteristic of the disability. Emotional support animals, typically dogs, but sometimes cats or other animals, may be used by people with a range of physical, psychiatric, or intellectual disabilities. In order to be prescribed an emotional support animal the person seeking such an animal must have a verifiable disability. To be afforded protection under United States federal law, a person must meet the federal definition of disability and must have a note from a physician or other medical professional stating that the person has that disability and that the emotional support animal provides a benefit for the individual with the disability.

3. Therapy Dog

A Therapy Dog is a dog that is be trained to provide comfort and love to people in hospitals, retirement homes, nursing homes, schools, hospices, disaster areas. They also do NOT have public access rights with exception to the specific places they are visiting and working. Typically the dog would be granted rights by individual facilities only. Therapy dogs are usually not assistance or service dogs, but can be one or both with some handlers. Many organizations provide evaluation and registration for therapy dogs.

4. Service Dog

Service dog is a type of assistance dog specifically trained to help people who have disabilities. The dog must be trained to perform 3 medically related tasks and can not be handled by the general public. The training is very extensive, and Desirable character traits in service animals typically include good temperament or psychological make-up (including biddability and trainability) and good health (including physical structure and stamina). Some service dogs are bred and trained by service dog organizations, while others are bred by breeders, and trained by private trainers or even the individuals with disabilities who will someday become their partners. Labrador Retrievers, Golden Retrievers, Labrador Retriever/Golden Retriever crossbred dogs, and German Shepherd Dogs are among the most common dog breeds working as service dogs today in the United States. Although dogs of almost any breed or mix of breeds may be capable of becoming a service dog, very few dogs have the requisite health and temperament qualities. Such a dog may be called a “service dog” or an “assistance dog”, the terminology typically varying by country or region. The term “seeing eye dog” is frequently used as a generic label referring to any dog assisting individuals who are blind or have visual impairments.

Funeral homes that bring in a dog without formal training and certification should not use the term Therapy Dog. They should use the term Comfort Dog. It’s like calling an Apprentice a licensed Embalmer. Lots of difference in skill level and training.

I highly encourage funeral homes to partner with local Therapy Dog teams in their area to provide this service to not only the families they serve, but to their staff as well. If builds community connection and strengthens morale.

Since completing his certification, Kermit and I have travelled all over the United States and been featured in online and print publications. I think the service we provide is with our heart, and not with marketing in mind. Bringing a team member of this caliber on board is a LIFETIME commitment. My dog is not a billboard. But he sure makes an impression.
