&lt;br /&gt;
The other day I tried an experiment to calm her down before bed...I put the Kong in her bed with her. We had always kept food and toys out of the crates as they are for sleeping only; not playing or eating. Low and behold...she now loves it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Last night I put them in, gave them their kongs....heard 20 minutes of &quot;slurp, slrp, shicp, slurp&quot; as they licked the peanut butter out to their hearts content. I then look over and both are passed out next to their Kongs.&lt;br /&gt;

Hoodini succesfully chewed up hanger and we let her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hanger, while perched just right in hoodini&#39;s mouth, prevented her from going outside several times. She has yet to figure out to turn her head to get out the door.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;v. metal hair clip:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;hoodini 0, clip 1&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Hoodini snagged it off the stairs where I dropped it, when caught, I stopped her. Enjoyed 3 whole minutes of joyess chewing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Metal Hair Clip Clip is still in tact, a bite or two in it but it works just like before.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;v. leash:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;hoodini 1, leash -2, poochie-poo 1&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Hoodini found that chewing on poochie-poos leash was fun. Especially while chewing and not getting caught.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Leash 1 was discovered in 2 pieces in the backyard. Leash 2 was only head together by a string.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Poochie-poo, annoyed at her sisters behavior, bit Hoodini playfully in the face several times.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;v. plastic table object&lt;/strong&gt;: &lt;em&gt;hoodini 1, plastic table object? 0&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Hoodini has discovered that playing with a plastic table object is amazingily fun; especially because no one takes it from her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Plastic table object must have come from the center of a pizza, to keep the box top off the pizza; except we have not had pizza in months. Not sure where the thing came from.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://3364.blogspot.com/feeds/1198401314659894688/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://3364.blogspot.com/2011/03/hoodini-vwhatever-she-can-find.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7928435358499918995/posts/default/1198401314659894688'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7928435358499918995/posts/default/1198401314659894688'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://3364.blogspot.com/2011/03/hoodini-vwhatever-she-can-find.html' title='Hoodini v...whatever she can find'/><author><name>Foupon Jess</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01337578243447237356</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='23' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-SNLmsE1XeRM/TYzSZZIvhbI/AAAAAAAAAgM/USDsju9pjm4/s220/pink%25282%2529.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7928435358499918995.post-6824980650739646471</id><published>2011-03-14T20:22:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-03-14T20:22:20.307-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Mmmmm chicken....</title><content type='html'>The thoughts going through Hoodini&#39;s head as she watches Cuddles the grouchy 14 year old cat sit on the couch next to me..........and the conversation that takes place between hoodini and poochie-poo&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Hoodini: Oooo, there she is. So fluffy, so orange. I bet she tastes good; poochie-poo...does she taste good?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Poochie-poo: Girl, you crazy. Been there, done that, bought a t-shirt. I&#39;m the leader of the &quot;wouldn&#39;t Cuddles taste good&quot; fan club and it ain&#39;t gonna happen.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Hoodini: Come on, just one bite...mom won&#39;t notice!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Poochie-poo: Are you kidding? She&#39;s watching you now, in fact she is probably blogging your craziness as we speak. Why don&#39;t you go chew on an emery board or something?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Hoodini: Mmmmm I bet she tastes like chicken.....maybe if I lay here and just look distracted mom will walk away. Come on mom...walk away so I can taste her. Promise, I just want to play, really. Hey wait....emery board? I thought grandma took all those away from me....you got one? You holding out on me????&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Poochie-poo: Again, I repeat. You are crazy. Yes, of course I have an emery board, right next to my pile of english muffins.....get a grip. Lay down, relax; and please don&#39;t do anything stupid.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Hoodini: English muffins too? Those are those round things I ate up the other day, right? MMMmmm those were good. Now, you distract mom while I play with Cuddles......you can do it, you can act all innocent like, come on be a team player!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Poochie-poo: Why do I bother? Yes hoodini, eat the cat...why don&#39;t you eat their droid phones and dad&#39;s Red Sox hat too?...sounds about as intelligent as the &quot;eat the old cat&quot; idea.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Hoodini: You&#39;re just jealous....because you didn&#39;t think of it.

Meme takes a break to catch the tv show real quick......&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Where&#39;d the beans go? Only evidence is 10 beans left in the pan........&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Did Human Child eat them? No - She was upstairs&lt;br /&gt;
Did Mem eat them? No - she was in the other room&lt;br /&gt;
Did Mom eat them? No - she was not home.&lt;br /&gt;
Did Dad eat them? No - he was not home.&lt;br /&gt;
Did Grouchy-cat eat them? No, she&#39;s a cat and too old to jump that high.&lt;br /&gt;
Did Alley-cat eat them? No, he is MIA a lot since Hoodini arrived.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Leaves two culprits.............Poochie-poo or Hoodini......&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Poochie-poo:&lt;br /&gt;
3&#39; tall, 55lbs., doscile, can&#39;t reach counter unless she really jumps, ate off the counter twice and none of which has been recent, she&#39;s more of a &quot;steel from open garbage can&quot; type.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hoodini:&lt;br /&gt;
4&#39; tall, 70lbs, crazy, can eat off the counter without lifting feet off the ground and does often.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dad didn&#39;t want to assume, so he grabs the pan and takes it towards the two suspects. Poochie-poo thinks she&#39;s getting a snack and sits like a good dog....Hoodini cowers as if in trouble. Ah ha!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
while playing with poochie-poo&#39;s fire hydrant squeaker toy, hoodini tosses it up onto the stair landing. she trots over to get it and &quot;beep beep beep&quot;...so she tries another attempt a little further away... &quot;beep beep beep&quot;....gets further away from the wall to peek her head around.....&quot;beep beep beep&quot;....so she lays down near the wall and gets no beep...she scoots closer and...&quot;beep beep beep&quot;....knowing she is as close as she can get she then uses her immensely long legs to reach across and pull the squeaker towards her....wallah, electric collar once again defeated.......&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
hoodini then proudly takes the squeaker outside....lets pause a minute...this squeaker was one of poochie-poo&#39;s first toys 2 years ago, it is the only one that had out lasted her chewing on it, the weather, or even getting lost.....hoodini won&#39;t share it either. poochie-poo looks longingly at the squeaker.......hoodini then proceeds to destroy the squeaker...all the while poochie-poo is watching her...two things are probably in poochie-poo&#39;s mind...A-if hoodini didn&#39;t steel my bed all the time i&#39;d go pee in hers, B-another one bites the dust.....&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
hoodini&#39;s human father manages to get the squeaker from her grasps, what is left, and toss it to play fetch. the squeaker lands in a pile of poo. now this would be the end of the game for poochie-poo. toy in poo = no more fun. not for hoodini; had it not for the poo being too close to the wire she would have gone for it. in fact she did, but after 1 set of warning beeps it just wasn&#39;t worth it anymore.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
several moments go by and poochie-poo and hoodini&amp;nbsp;are back to playing......this time it&#39;s with a toy. again, happy for their distraction I think nothing of it. and that was my mistake......letting my gaurd down. that and trying to identify an item through the steam coming off the hot tub.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
we get out of the hot tub and walk across the patio and low and behold....it&#39;s not a toy they are playing with, it&#39;s a black plastic spoon looking......dangit&amp;nbsp;it&#39;s my George Foreman spatula (special made item for the foreman grill)! since poochie-poo is height challenged I can only assume that this is what happened.....&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Hoodini:&lt;/strong&gt; Mom and dad are in the hottub, kid is sleeping......we are alone in the house.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Poochie-poo&lt;/strong&gt;: Don&#39;t even think about it hoodini.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Hoodini:&lt;/strong&gt; (as she is jumping up on the counter to snag the spatula from the sink) MMMmmmm, but poochie-poo it has pieces of hamburger on it, mmmmmmm&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Poochie-poo&lt;/strong&gt;: Get off the counter, you are going to get in trouble. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Hoodini&lt;/strong&gt;: You get to go near the hot tub and get love, I get to eat the plastic/burger taste; all is fair! (taking it outside)&amp;nbsp;Now see, we are playing with it, they don&#39;t care. It&#39;s an &quot;okay&quot; item for us to chew, come on poochie-poo try to take it from me. We can play tug of war.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Poochie-poo&lt;/strong&gt;: No, not right in front of them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Hoodini:&lt;/strong&gt; Mmmmmmm plastic and burger, mmmmmmm (gnawing on the spatula)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Poochie-poo&lt;/strong&gt;: I think i heard the cat, come on lets get him! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They frolic off to torment the cat..............&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
success? lol&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
round 4: if you move the sensor higher than 3&#39; above the cord; it does not beep and does not shock. to test this theory hoodini took a flying leap across a 6&#39; span, up on top of the 4&#39; high hot tub and over the fence. she proceeded to frolic through the neighbors back yard and in their house with muddy paws. the instructions did not mention this, apparently hoodini figured it out all on her own. well, at least we know she is not stupid. must be her pointing out the obvious flaw in the system to us...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
amen for understanding neighbors....&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
team work: poochie-poo watches hoodini and these antics and gets annoyed at her frequently. while hoodini has out-smarted the shock collar, mundane acts such as sitting, staying, shaking hands, or listening in general are still beyond her. poochie-poo got fed up and showed hoodini how to shake hands during the most recent lesson. how did she do this? she bit hoodini on the leg when we asked for hoodini&#39;s paw and wallah....hoodini understood. whether she understood &quot;paw&quot; = shake hands or &quot;paw&quot; = poochie-poo will bite me if i don&#39;t shake hands we may never know, but as long as it is working we don&#39;t care.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
round 1: apparently&amp;nbsp;hoodini (aka clover)&amp;nbsp;has realized that the hot-tub doubles as a spring board to freedom. up and over the fence she goes. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
round 2: the springboard being blocked off is no deterent, hoodini can leap a 6&#39; fence in a single bound. then look at you, over the fence,&amp;nbsp;from the other side. apparently the grass is greener on the other side and was calling out to her for some fertilizer. while she is on that adventure, poochie-poo (aka dakota), has gotten in touch with her ancient pig ancestors turning the grass into a mud hole. then proudly sports her new mud outfit.&lt;br /&gt;

Now, she walks with purpose. Eyes forward with her goal in mind. A stride almost. Same outfit as most days; black slacks and brown dress jacket. Restaurant industry perhaps? Backpack high on back carrying all kinds of goodies for the day, not her usual choice though. Her normal wear is a black tote bag. Maybe today is a special day.&lt;br /&gt;

He&#39;s doing mathematical equations involving more symbols that even my statistics class taught. Appears to know what they mean. Casually refers back to the book. Almost a caress of each page as he&#39;s looking it over. Deep in thought or passionate about it, who knows. When all else fails, he pulls out the iPad and calculates away. He gets distracted; stares at an object behind me. &lt;br /&gt;

She went on a cruise to Mexico, a Disney cruise. Then she got ill. She tells them all the same story. Sounds healthy enough and her cough is a tad bit faked during her stories to the inquisitors. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
someone you don&#39;t want to talk to is on the net, comes across a search on facebook for people in a certain town, they find the town and see thousands of hits, but one of them is someone they went to school with, so they go and check out that person&#39;s profile, their new friends profile appears to not be very private and shows all their friends, of which that the someone might know, from that new friend list the someone finds a &quot;like&quot; of a business that looked like a popular hangout when they were younger, so that someone &quot;likes&quot; it, that new list of people shows yet more friends, of which one is recognized, that someone checks out that new profile and sees a business connection, that person googles the business name and finds a ton of hits, one of which is connected to an old email address, that person emails the old email address which gets forwarded to another address (unknown to that someone).....all it took was a few clicks, go figure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
no matter how much you try to limit your exposure you truly can&#39;t. one way or another, either by direct connection or by link or other connection, you can have no privacy at all. solution? get your information off the net dumbass! well, not so simple, try googling yourself, just SEE how old those search responses are.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
it is trully fubar&lt;br /&gt;

Nine were younger than 8 weeks old, which means they were too young to have been vaccinated against this highly contagious bacterial disease.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&#39;This is a preventable disease,&#39; says Sicilia, because there is a vaccine for whooping cough to protect those coming in contact with infants, and thereby protect the infants.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, some parents are choosing to not vaccinate their children. In other cases, previously vaccinated children and adults may have lost their immunity because the vaccine has worn off.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why are parents skipping vaccines?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The vaccine &#39;does not protect you for life,&#39; explains Alison Patti, a spokesperson for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sicilia says California Health Department epidemiologists estimate 50 percent of the children who have gotten sick were infected by their parents or caregivers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to the recommended vaccine schedule for infants, newborns don&#39;t get their first pertussis vaccine until they are 2 months old, leaving them vulnerable to infection until then if the people surrounding them are infected.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Breaking down whooping cough&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&#39;That&#39;s why the real important message is -- whether it&#39;s a mom, dad, sibling, grandfather or grandmother that comes in contact with these really young babies -- all the close contacts, including the health care professionals, need to vaccinated,&#39; says Patti. It&#39;s called the &#39;cocooning strategy,&#39; where the newborns are protected because the older people around them have been vaccinated and protected from pertussis, and therefore won&#39;t pass it on to little babies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pertussis, or whooping cough, is a highly contagious disease caused by bacteria that can lead to severe upper respiratory infections. The bacteria is spread in tiny droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Initial symptoms are very similar to a cold, but a week or two later, a violent cough develops.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&#39;If you&#39;ve ever seen a child with pertussis, you won&#39;t forget it&#39; -- that&#39;s how the American Academy of Pediatrics explains what whooping cough is on its website. The academy says a child with the disease coughs so hard and so often &#39;until the air is gone from his/her lungs and he/she is forced to inhale with the loud &#39;whooping&#39; sound that gives the disease its nickname.&#39;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The cough can last for weeks and children can cough so hard and rapidly,that blood vessels can burst and they have difficulty eating, drinking and breathing. According to the CDC, &#39;about 1 in 5 infants with pertussis get pneumonia, and about 1 in 100 will have convulsions. In rare cases (1 in 100), pertussis can be deadly, especially in infants.&#39;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Parents and doctors can often miss the initial symptoms of pertussis in the youngest patients because they often do not have the characteristic cough with a &#39;whoop&#39; says Patti.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to the National Institutes of Health, &#39;the whoop noise is rare in patients under 6 months and in adults.&#39;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That&#39;s why parents need to be alert to symptoms in themselves as well as their children, says Patti. If there&#39;s a prolonged pause in breathing or they have trouble breathing, that&#39;s an important sign and parents should seek medical attention immediately, she explains.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&#39;It&#39;s important to go to the doctor early on,&#39; says Patti because, &#39;antibiotics don&#39;t help you later.&#39;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Adults usually don&#39;t have the &#39;whoop&#39; cough, so they may not think they have pertussis. Patti recommends if someone has a cough that doesn&#39;t go away, they should get tested for pertussis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sicilia points out that the pertussis vaccine isn&#39;t perfect and its protection wanes after about five years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Health officials are urging everyone who hasn&#39;t had a pertussis vaccine in the past five years or -- doesn&#39;t remember if they had one -- to get the shot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Sent using Google Toolbar&quot;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://3364.blogspot.com/feeds/4206639179763104690/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://3364.blogspot.com/2010/10/10-infants-dead-in-california-whooping.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7928435358499918995/posts/default/4206639179763104690'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7928435358499918995/posts/default/4206639179763104690'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://3364.blogspot.com/2010/10/10-infants-dead-in-california-whooping.html' title='10 infants dead in California whooping cough outbreak - CNN.com'/><author><name>Foupon Jess</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01337578243447237356</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='23' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-SNLmsE1XeRM/TYzSZZIvhbI/AAAAAAAAAgM/USDsju9pjm4/s220/pink%25282%2529.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7928435358499918995.post-3610584064412279371</id><published>2010-10-20T14:27:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-10-20T14:27:19.091-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Free Sample of Samy Fat Hair ’0′ Calories</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href=&quot;http://networkedblogs.com/9pebs&quot;&gt;Free Sample of Samy Fat Hair ’0′ Calories&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Go &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.samysalon.com/giveaway/fat-hair.php?utm_source=Fat-Hair-WebSite&amp;amp;utm_medium=HomePage&amp;amp;utm_campaign=FatHair-Samples&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; to request a free sample of Samy Fat Hair ’0′ Calories.
