My answer is . . I don't know but I really don't want to eat only soup, even though there are so many good soups out there.
Was it Sunday I made the soup? We ate it Sunday. Then Debbie and I ate it Monday. Vince ate it Monday while I was gone. Today we had soup and ham sandwiches. The remaining three containers of soup is in the freezer for later. I do want to make clam chowder this week so that will probably happen Thursday or Friday.
When I was cleaning out the freezer last week, I came across four bags of Beef Fricot I had made and vacuum sealed the leftovers. I have one of those bags defrosting. I will make a pot of rice and we shall have Beef Fricot for our next meal.
The window crew is coming on April 24 at 7:30 a.m. to get started on the window replacement. Our little barkers are not going to be happy about the strangers in the house or the noise and my guess is the guys working will wonder why we put up with such noisy dogs. It's ok. I sometimes wonder the same thing.
Speaking of dogs, today was the second time Cooper and Oscar got into a REAL and scary dog fight. If Oscar is sitting on my lap and I think it's when I've been busy and he feels he hasn't had enough time with me, and Cooper gets up on my lap, Oscar goes after him. It's a real fight - teeth showing, growling, biting . . and Cooper does not back down. Any suggestions on how to handle that? I've told Vince to never get in the middle of a dog fight because I know we will get bit but today I was able to grab Oscar from behind and get him in the crate, and then Cooper went into his crate on his own. We never leave them unattended because they're just a bit destructive but I think, at least so far, we've only had this problem because Oscar isn't wanting Cooper around me. I need to find a way to stop this from happening. If I'm paying attention, I can usually see when Oscar is starting to get agitated and I will pick him up and stand up so Cooper isn't jumping into to the middle of something he wasn't expecting. Then I will take Oscar out for a walk for a few minutes and he seems to calm down. I told Vince I don't want to have to be that family that has to get rid of one of their dogs because they aren't getting along. That is NOT an option here.
Any advice on solving this problem would be greatly appreciated.
Have they been neutered? This can help reduce aggression. If they have not I would discuss it with the veterinarian and see if they thought this could help.
ReplyDeleteYes. They've both been neutered.
ReplyDeleteI love soup, I eat it all the time. I usually make a batch every other week, freeze some have several meals out of it. I love the fact I can make a batch and have it for several meals during a week. Cooking now is one of the hardest things I struggle with being a widow. I like to be able to eat when I'm hungry and soup is so easy to heat and eat.
