    We adopted a young dog less than 2 years ago from the shelter. He has destroyed vintage couch cushion ( I was able to get it repaired), regular couch cushion, couch pillows, laptop charger, all 4 kitchen chair cushions, completed cross stitch, several patterns, several hand dyed threads, silks, longaberger basket, all of my winter hats, gloves, my husbands work hats, shoes, and countless other things too numerous to mention. We have tried so hard to keep him from things. But, we love him and are waiting for him to outgrow it. My plants are just hanging ones that he can't reach.

    My husband built a six-sided dolly with wheels so we can move our large houseplant/housetree into the laundry room when our kids visit with the cats or dogs...all other plants (which are smaller and are easily lifted...or knocked over) get carried into the laundry room of the master bedroom, and those doors stay closed for the duration of the visit. My daughter used to grow some herbs and peppers on her kitchen windowsills and had to give that up due to destruction from her cat.

    My neighbor asked me to feed her cat one weekend. Every time I saw him he was very shy but never aggressive. When it was just me coming around that thing was possessed. The cat had a specific diet with dry food and wet food and measuring spoons were involved so I would take the bowl into the feeder and the cat would follow me in and sit on the counter. Always looking innocent. Whenever I would try reaching for the bowl he would swat hiss and bite. I too love cats. I’ve had mine for almost 14 years. I told my neighbor there wouldn’t be a next time

    You done did good with those glasses. Very 80s and Sophia Loren.
    We were watching All in the Family on UA-cam yesterday. I noticed that my husband’s new glasses were identical to Archie’s. 😅
    My husband and I collaborate pretty well on the decorating after 48 years. We kind of grew up together. I also have my west wing and he has his east wing of our warehouse apartment where we decorate them ourselves. I often ask him his opinion as I’m deciding on colors on a new cross stitch or quilt project.
    We had a miniature dachshund that chewed the baseboards and doors of our mobile home. She never was housebroken. Our 18 year old dachshund we have now has only chewed the rabbit fur off one slipper. He’s a wonderful little boy.
    I recently started Eliza Townsend. I’m doing it with brighter colors. I can’t do the faded version. The house reminds me of the ruins of Barnsley Gardens in Adairsville.

    Those glasses really suit you. I have met a devil cat. My friend and her family went on vacation and I was going over every day to take care of their sweet cat, Ellie, and the stray her son brought home from college, Buddy. Ellie was not a problem. She was in the main part of the house. Buddy was living in the finished basement. I met him before they left and he seemed friendly. I quickly learned to wear long pants when dealing with him. He would purr and act like a nice cat and with no warning go into attacking you. I started bringing a spray bottle with me so I could do what I needed to. Or have my husband come with me to distract Buddy. Sorry about your plants.

    I have a husband/cat conflict going on right now. Sidney (the cat) is so sweet, and so mentally messed up - he was returned to the pound FIVE times before we got him, and all of his former homes just tortured him and broke his brain. None of this is his fault, but he’s having litter box issues that I can’t fix. (The vet assured us it’s not physical.) Hubby understandably doesn’t want to be in a house that smells like cat pee, and is losing patience. I’ve tried literally every piece of advice online and from the vet. The cat has ALL the most luxurious litter boxes and comfort places… I’m trying Dr. Elsey’s litter now, which appears to be working (fingers crossed!) I really miss having a cat I can actually cuddle and pet. UGH!
    My duck derby box came early (THANK YOU!) but I have family visiting and I can’t look at it yet…. I visit it and poke at it frequently when no one’s looking. LOL I snuck in one flosstube video in the middle of the night before I have to get up and be entertaining again. Ha, ha! Have a great June!

      Litter box issues are the worst. I currently have one kitty who isn't wanting to bury things...which can add to the smell. I hope the Dr. Elsey's litter continues to work and the cat has found a safe long term home. Good luck and best wishes for sure.

Thankfully when we bought our first house I was able to hide it away in the loft. As for animals destroying things, when our dog was a puppy she destroyed all but one pot of my succulents outside to teethe on the pots, among other things she destroyed.

    I had an English Setter when I was in high school. She was the most spiteful dog I've ever lived with. If someone upset her (like didn't pay her enough attention), she would find something that she knew belonged to them and chew on it. She was especially fond of ruining books. Our 3yo Australian Shepherd will take my husband's hats if he's upset with him. So far, he hasn't done anything like that to me, just my husband.

    Oh my…after more than 20 years of marriage….I have stories. Weeks of looking for furniture only to end up with a house full that fits his 6’4” frame and leaves me dangling my feet like I am five years old. We have spent months discussing paint colors…he pretty much likes anything that could be in a baby’s dirty diaper. We finally realized that we don’t perceive colors the same way and he mostly lets me choose (finally until I screw up) except during our recent bathroom remodels. We couldn’t agree on wall tile grout colors; our contractor pulled him aside and told him I was correct which my husband confirmed by watching decorator youtube videos…my color it was. After it was done, he actually stood admiring the tile grout and proclaimed it was his idea. The man doesn’t know how close he has come to being suffocated in his sleep…but I’d miss him too much. 😂 Thanks for the video including the venting…it makes me feel more sane.

    When something doesn't seem possible to me I literally tell myself, "It's not all about you, Rebecca" and rethink through the situation outside of myself. That cat doesn't dislike you, he dislikes what you smell like....other cats...competition in the wild. And cats hold grudges as you know, so you will always be that lady with cat smells even if you put on new laundry before entering. Also, as a former interior designer, your husbands asking for help, to put it simply. Help him reframe his comic books, he doesn't know how to go about it just like I don't know how jet propulsion engines work. You know how sometimes you can't remember the last few turns you made when driving? He may have always just been a "go with the flow" in the home decor because he didn't care at the time, and now he's just woken up and realized he's surrounded in decisions he didn't make. And because you did all the work and tried to get him to participate, you might feel insulted? But, there's no fault to be tossed around. He probably just came to the realization that he didn't remember making the last few turns and that's a little freaky. Does that make sense? Just means it's a time for some changes or additions. And he doesn't know how. You're so good at it, help him out. Good luck! and remember, some people just don't have that type of creative gene in their body so they REALLY don't know where to start.

    Funny (not funny at the time) asshole cat story. Gets a bit long so I apologize ahead of time. My husband and I both came into our marriage with cats of our own. My husbands cat was a very large male orange tabby named Felix. Yes I know strange he wasn't a tuxedo cat but named Felix. He did several horribly destructive things to my possessions throughout his life (we unfortunately lost him to bladder cancer 3 years ago) but this one stands out in my mind. I was putting on my socks one morning getting ready to leave for work and he came up beside me all casual like backed up and started peeing on my leg and the wood floor. I told the cat he was dead to me at the time I was so mad😂😂. I did love him despite it but it took a while for me to warm up to him again. He was pretty naughty though and made me fear getting another male cat. It wasn't just me either, all of my husbands friends nicknamed him "the Dick". Have a great month of traveling!
