S06.E14: Not Easy To Love

[Giselle]

Maybe so but it just grated on me. Same as when people speak to the elderly as if they are 5 years old and lived in a closet their entire life. They are amazing people with amazing stories and an abundance of life experiences and advice.

My dad would throw nurses out on their rear when they did that. He and I would tell them and the charge nurse. No baby talk. Talk to him as if the two of you were in the back yard enjoying a beer.

Just a thought ... Has Kyle considered putting her dogs outside during meals? I mean it's not rocket science.

Do Mohammed (major fug) and Gene Simmons frequent the same wig salon?

I once had a black cat. She was the most docile, sweet, almost shy little fur baby. Many, many years ago, I was dating a guy and we both had Swedish roots on the maternal branches of the family tree. So, keeping with my family's tradition, around Christmas time, I invited him and his widowed mother over for a Swedish dinner. I really had no experience in that, but I borrowed my mother's Swedish cookbook and forged ahead. One of the items I served was herring in white sauce. My date's mother was a very fussy, high-strung, pearl-clutching type. Anyway, right in the midst of dinner, the cat leaped onto the middle of the table to snag some herring. The table was absolutely full with dinner plates, serving dishes, decorations and lighted candles. I was shocked that the cat didn't miss a single thing and nothing was spilled. Amazing! Ha! Ha! The old hag nearly had a stroke on the spot and from that day forward, whenever I saw her (which wasn't for much longer, as I broke up with her son) she had to bring up that "horrible cat," "I was scared to death."

My cat got an extra helping of treats that night.

P.S.: The dinner was amazing!

Loooooooovvvvvvveeeeee Iiiittttt!!

And why does she have such trouble with Munchausen's, too?  I think she feigns ignorance to try to throw people off the scent or something.  (And I guess I shouldn't be surprised but I am that a bunch of middle-aged women had never heard of Munchausen's?)

 

Yeah. It's true these ladies aren't the sharpest.  But I buy that NONE of them had ever heard of "Munchausen" the way I bought that Kim Richards had "never heard of crystal meth" in season 2.  In other words, no sale.

Agreed, but some dogs are smarter (train easier) than others.  If Bambi was my dog, she'd be outside while there was food on the table, and she'd most certainly get a flank smack and a loud "NO" if I found out she'd taken food.  And THEN she'd be put outside while everyone else was eating inside - I would never tolerate a sneaky food snagger.

I am not singling you out personally.  Many people think it is okay and even good to smack a dog when they are being "bad."  They are just being dogs.  I am taking this opportunity to speak to everyone.  I work with abused dogs in a rescue operation.  Please, everyone hear me.  Never hit an animal.  Ever.  It does not teach them anything.  It creates fear.  Dogs want to please you.  Praise them for good deeds and a sharp  AAHH is a noise to use rather than no because it sounds more like a bark.  Dogs learn easily when you take the time and always be loving and kind to them.  

 

Thank you.  While I FLOVE Bambi, I agree that she needs training and discipline. But there are so many ways to go about it that don't involve hitting.
