THE FHG SEWING THREAD :-D

[ilove2patch]

As requested, a place for us to ask for help and advice from other stitchers and to show the things we make.
Over to you.:-D

We have a proper tutor to take the class. We are doing a scene of our choosing, a special place. This is the picture I am taking to interpret.

It's by a local photographer & I have his permission to use it.:-D

Am having an 'interesting' day. 😐 It's seems possible one of our tenants may have 'disposed of' their house mate. Our handyman went there this morning & the house has been wrecked. Trying to get an emergency eviction order for the tenant who did it but that's not likely. 😞 Have left messages for the other one all day & he hasn't come back to us. Have asked handyman how closely he looked at the devestation this morning & he has said 'not very closely'. :_| I'm buggered if I'm going to look & the police are in a hand over meeting.

Oh & I went to the post office & locked myself out with my phone inside the office. 😞

[ilove2patch]

One of 'those' days then Huggles. Hope there is nothing sinister going on! 😞

[****merlin*****]

if the other tenant had a hand in wrecking the place also, they wouldnt take calls from their landlords though would they?

[huggles1253]

The missing one is a sweet little guy with some mental issues. He grows veg! He wouldn't trash a house. The police are waiting for a spare unit to go round & check the place. I'll meet them there with the key, if you still need a key to get in.

sorry vanished as pup came home from his walk & made relaxing impossible.

Thanks Numpts, it was you I was hoping for advice from as I know you had pups (or rather your dog did  :-))

Must admit the whole situation is getting me down now, he seems totally unable to come near me or sit on my lap without biting) He's taken to toilet training, lead walking & sleeping at night without howling, so why can't we crack this. I just push him away but he just either pushes his way back, jumps back on my lap or barks at me. I'm really feeling disheartened about the situation at the moment, & I know that my daughter couldn't cope with him as he is.

Since he was allowed (last sunday) he's taken out for 2 long (40-50 min) walks a day. We both work but hubby is on shifts so he's never alone for more than a few hours at a time.

[numptz2012]

remind me how old he is Gina

[ginap.123]

they got him on Xmas Eve & they were told he was 12 weeks so about 15 now. SIL said he was the biggest in the litter so prob thinks he is some kind of alphamale!

:-(poor wee beagle

dont all pups bite when they are teething?

[numptz2012]

with SBTs, they hit their asbo stage at about 6mths and then again at 18mths. Have a google and see what it says for beagles as it may be different. You deffo need to scruff him, he will soon remember what his mum taught him about playing nicely. He won't like it and may try to nip you when you are doing it but perservere. Never tap etc him on the nose as he will associate hands coming near his face with hitting and he will snap even more, makes sense when you think about it.

Give me a yell if you need anything else:-D

[numptz2012]

big diff between niping/biting and chewing Merlin:-D

[ginap.123]

we did try the tap on the nose to start with but stopped that & just did the 'remove from the situation' i.e push him away.

It's a shame because I can see him being a lovely, loyal well behaved little fellow when he's older. We just have to get him over this biting everything stage first.

[numptz2012]

don't push him away, ours do that to one another when they are playing so he may think it's a game

[ginap.123]

that could be the problem then. Don't remember this with any of the other pups we've had. I mastered a lovely firm 'NO' as well & he takes no notice

[huggles1253]

Missing tenant is ok and has been at his mums all week. Police are coming tomorrow now as they are busy and it's not a potential murder! They have a cat so I'd been worrying if that was ok but the missing tenant took it with him. OH said to me earlier 'don't you dare go and get the cat' so I was wondering how to explain that I'd forgotten he said that. 😐
