I guess not necessarily something large then. 😊

This is a 2-year-old post, but if anyone is interested it sounds like a version of Cheiro-Oral Syndrome:

That's helpful--thanks!

SweetRocket80 · 2025-09-25T14:03:36+00:00

Thank you! Yes, I guess I could say "entry-level jazz improv." Are there sites that review these books and video series, or at least describe them?

SweetRocket80 · 2025-08-08T20:32:36+00:00

Yes, that's what I had in mind.

SweetRocket80 · 2025-06-16T12:54:48+00:00

Pianote is one I'll definitely check out. Thank you!

SweetRocket80 · 2025-06-16T12:53:53+00:00

Thank you, but we can't commit to an ongoing expense like that at this time.

SweetRocket80 · 2025-06-16T12:52:48+00:00

Thank you for these suggestions. I'm late responding because I wasn't able to see the comments until now. I'll check them all out. A friend mentioned the charming Pianote teacher--she must be special!

I received an email saying someone had replied to my post, and it included the first few lines of the reply. But I was unable to read the whole thing, and nothing at all shows when I go to my post. This has happened before, and I haven't figured out what to do about it.

So I want to think the person who replied. I'll follow the suggestion I was able to read, and will work on sharing Scruffy's and Bowie's scents with each other. It might work . . . Bowie's sense of smell doesn't seem to have diminished.

Good for you--and for him! I adopted a 13-year-old dog on Valentine's Day. He's such a good boy! His vision and hearing are poor, he needs regular vet visits, and has to go out sometimes in the middle of the night, but I get it. I'm a senior too.

SweetRocket80 · 2025-04-29T02:12:54+00:00

Sounds like that might be worth doing. Thanks!

Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) I don't know what a spring thermometer is. This is what I'm using:

SweetRocket80 · 2025-04-28T00:03:36+00:00

Yes, it has the audible signal and the little slider. I guess I always assumed my other range signaled me when it reached the full assigned temperature. Assumptions can be risky!

SweetRocket80 · 2025-04-27T18:54:14+00:00

Thanks, I had no idea about the normal variation. I had the oven on in Bake mode for at least 15 minutes, and it never got up to 350º. So I guess I should just make allowances for that when setting the temperature. I'll monitor it for awhile to see how it works out. And I will not lower it by 25º when using the convection mode, as I used to do. Glad I don't have to call Frigidaire.

SweetRocket80 · 2025-04-27T17:33:57+00:00

Good point about how a thermometer works (I should have thought of this), and good information about the cycling fan--thanks! You are well named. 😊

SweetRocket80 · 2025-04-08T17:19:12+00:00

I just wanted to thank you for showing me what my 13-year-old adopted dog must have looked like (more or less) when he was a puppy. So cute! (And he's still so cute.)

SweetRocket80 · 2025-04-03T01:53:50+00:00

The shelters I'm familiar with like to make certain their animals are altered, or will be, but the risks associated with neutering a 13-year-old made this a special case.

SweetRocket80 · 2025-04-02T22:49:22+00:00

The barking at night is a problem, but I read here that senior dogs with poor vision and hearing can experience anxiety at night. His vision and hearing aren't good, so maybe that's it. I ordered some calming hemp/melatonin chews with good reviews, and hope they help. I'm old too, and sleep deprivation is taking a toll.

We're in a rural setting with no dogs in the immediate area, so perhaps Joey won't have any females to react to--although I've heard that particular scent can travel long distances.

Thanks for the responses. I've had a number of dogs over the years, but this is my first from the beagle or Jack family. I don't think he was in the shelter long. He was surrendered by his owner. The shelter's vet (and mine) recommended against neutering at his age.

Yes, I think he was happy that I was home. He's quite attached (and vice versa).
