We went to see the puppies yesterday and will probably be getting this little girl but they won't let her go until 16 weeks, which is a concern because they are just living in a pen with no potty training right now. That's really late to start potty training which will make it extra challenging.

I saw those on facebook!!! I think you should get a crate for potty training.

Oh definitely! Really, the only way to go.
If only that worked with human puppies. I’m embarrassed to say that my three year old, Alex, is not yet potty trained.:a11: He’s developmentally delayed, so the doctor said it might be a while. I’ve vowed that I’ve purchased my LAST box of pull-ups and put him in underwear with a plastic liner. .....and I’ve already thrown away a soiled pair and bag another wet pair. He knows how to use the potty.....he just would prefer not to.

I feel for you. My son was 6 before totally potty trained. We took him to the doctor.Tried everything. Bribery did not work until we used band-aids instead of stickers or snacks. He looked so funny because he would pee just to ware lots of Band-Aids. I wish you much luck .

Unbelievably I went and filled out insurance forms, direct deposit stuff and what felt like 45 other pieces of paper today. For the first time in my life, and it ain't that short of one, I will be working a "real" job come August 1.

Insurance has been eating us up and combined with the drop of farming income this has made things fun around the double wide.

Anyway was approached in middle of summer by local high school about a 7 hour a day custodial position, that is considered full time with benefits. Principal is going to let me do time in middle of day so I can farm in mornings and perhaps help with some coaching at school in afternoons (still hashing out that part).

So...what's it like to have a real boss?

Been married 32 years so basically been in servitude anyway for around 30...

Going to be an adjustment...
Hope the school is ready for it...:lol:

I might try that! We bribed him with a toy fire truck until he (is it okay to say pooped?) in the potty. Well he did that once and got an awesome fire truck....he claims it’s “too dangerous” to try again. Dad is talking about taking the fire truck away but that feels wrong, somehow. Band-Aids, huh? Worth a shot!

Basically try anything he likes. We let our son go to the Dollar Tree and he picked lots of Bands-Aids Like maybe $10. worth of different with characters on them.

May the adjustment to work come easily. You'll do great around children. Farming is ruff right now. Sending a ton of positive vibes your way. Be well and remember to take care of you too.
