Better than excellent chance I'll be taking some of the dachshund's Xanax tonight.

[Midlodemocrat]

27 13yo kids here for a party that was supposed to be held outside, but needs to be moved inside due to inclement weather.

God hates me.

[mainegreen]

1. "dachshund's Xanax"

...

...


What goes on at chez Midlo?

[Midlodemocrat]

5. She's afraid of thunder. And, she makes us miserable when it storms.

TVO tried to help me last year with recommendations that weren't prescription, but no go. She's getting worse as she gets older.

[TZ]

8. Oh man.

My mom's dog has thunder issues..Considering the weather this week, I bet you have used a lot of xanax....

[Midlodemocrat]

11. Yup. I just sent my son to the store for a refill.

For a little dog, she takes a large dose. I don't know how it reacts in canines as opposed to humans, but it does work on it. If I took that sized dose? Holy crap. I'd be in a permanent coma.

[TZ]

2. Umm

Your dog is on Xanax? Wow, Midlo...I knew your family was crazy...even the pets need meds...:hide:

[Midlodemocrat]

9. Oh, she's awful in the summer because of storms.

Truly awful.

[rcrush]

3. Can I score some Xanax from your dog?

He has all the best shit.

[Midlodemocrat]

7. No. She needs it when it storms. Otherwise, I'd have to gank her.

Truly, you've never seen anything like it. She runs from room to room, panting and jumping from bed to bed so that no one gets any sleep.

And, you cannot calm her down. Hence the meds.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

4. If I was talking to my mom, I could've scored some for you

She's the Johnny Appleseed of xanax.

[mainegreen]

6. If she's the Johnny Appleseed of xanax that means...

she wanders around the country, sticking Xanax in the ground in the hopes that Xanax trees grow.

Metaphor fail.

:eyes:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

10. Well, for all I know, she might believe xanax grows on trees

She didn't realize Hawaii was part of the United States.

But yeah, she hands that shit out like candy. She thinks everyone would be better off if they were medicated. Mind you, she's absolutely batshit insane.

[Midlodemocrat]

12. Batshit insane is too kind, Haruka.

:rofl:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

14. True

[arcadian]

33. Johnny Xanaxseed

We had a friend we called Johnny Potseed, but he actually was a grower.

[arcadian]

13. That's Okay, I'm sure you'll just be ignoring them and posting in the Lounge anyway.

:rofl:

Let us know if they destroy anything.

[Midlodemocrat]

15. I might be. My laptop is down there.

:rofl:

[arcadian]

16. down there?

You mean you HAVE to be in the same room with them?

[Midlodemocrat]

17. If I want my house to stay intact, I sure do.

13 year old boys? They tend to run, scream, wrestle, break things.

I'll stay in the kitchen where I can semi control the food traffic.

[arbusto_baboso]

18. I've found most doxies actually need Depends more than anything else.

Maybe "need" is the wrong word. "Want" might be better. Dachshunds are pervy little dogs.

[Midlodemocrat]

20. No question. She's destroyed the sunroom floor even though there

is a dog door there.

And, we had to replace the carpet because of her.

[latebloomer]

39. My friend has 3 mini-dachshunds in an apartment

She loves them dearly, and they absolutely run her life.

Crazily high-strung, constantly barking, sometimes she doesn't sleep with her husband because they have to be separated and they won't sleep alone, do all their business on wee-wee pads, have to be crated or they'll attack visitors- woof!


Edited for not being able to spell "dachshund".

[mikeytherat]

19. The worst of the last wave of thunderstorms should be rolling through within the next few hours.

Might want to dose doxie now.

mikey_the_rat

[Midlodemocrat]

21. Hey. Did you see the swimboy and Mr. swim are coming over Sunday?

You guys want to come over, too? We're just gonna grill and hang out and talk.

Would love to have you guys.

[mikeytherat]

22. Not sure. Have a vocal rehearsal right after church, then there is a surprise party

for a friend who recently fell off his roof (he was injured quite badly).

If we can make it, I will PM for directions and info.

mikey_der_wertvoller

[Midlodemocrat]

32. Excellent, please do. So sorry about your friend!! That is horrible.

[BurtWorm]

23. What a great name for a country tune!

:headbang:

[bigwillq]

24. I thought you were God.

:shrug: :P :rofl:

[Rosie1223]

25. I hope Brenda hasn't 'misplaced' Guitar Hero

I'll be thinking of you. And laughing

[Midlodemocrat]

26. And probably pointing.

And, I don't have a clue where Guitar Hero is, but that's a good idea.

:thumbsup:

Now, if I could only find my toothbrush.

[Rosie1223]

27. I survived my daughter's graduation party last Sunday

About 30 HS seniors. We had nice weather, tho.

You'll survive too.

[Debi]

28. There ain't enough boxed wine in the world for what you're about to endure

:banghead:

I may have to drink just to get over the idea of that many teenagers in one place w/out a gymnasium or roller rink to burn off the excess energy! :beer:


I :cry: for you Midlo!!

[Midlodemocrat]

31. I know. The plan was to let them jump on the trampoline for a while and

burn off some energy.

Gah. God hates me.

[jeff30997]

37. NO I DON'T!

Well most of the time.

[LostinVA]

44. I'm sitting here in horror imaging it

I actually went cataonic for a minute.

CAN YOU IMAGINE?!

The squealing may interfere with the radar at the Richmond Airport.

[Renew Deal]

29. Does this have anything to do with the DU party that was cancelled?

:evilgrin:

[TZ]

30. .

:spank:

[Gormy Cuss]

34. You have a weiner dog?????

I pictured Casa Midlo as the home of a golden retriever.

[madinmaryland]

35. She races weiner dogs! From the 2006 Weiner Dog Nationals...

[Gormy Cuss]

36. I thought "weiner dog races" was a euphemism like "watching submarine races"

:D

[latebloomer]

38. 27 13-year-olds?!?

Methinks you'll need stronger drugs than Xanax!

Tomorrow we'll have about 8 or 9 15-year-old girls for a sleepover birthday party- considerably more mellow.

[crispini]

40. Have you tried (re: dog, not yourself)

those things they sell that inflate and squeeze the dog? I have no idea what they're called... (trots off to Google)... the Anxiety Wrap: http://www.anxietywrap.com/ I hear they are great. Don't have dogs myself but hate to read about little critters having a bad time in storms.

[Midlodemocrat]

47. I haven't, but thank you for the link.

[nickgutierrez]

41. Xanax: When even the boxed wine isn't enough.

:P

[Midlodemocrat]

45. Not enough alcohol on the fucking planet. Series.

[Fleshdancer]

42. 27 OF THEM!!!??!?! NOOOOOOO

Lock up the valuables, grab the wine and RUN woman! :scared:

[LostinVA]

43. OMG -- Haruka just told me what you'll be going through!

I just called the Harris Teeter to have them deliver you a case of Barefoot.

And some weed.

And earplugs.

[mnhtnbb]

46. Our old Tanya (who left us last summer) used to shake all over

during thunderstorms.

See this:

[JohnnyBoots]

48. That sounds like the name for a suburban punk band.....

[meow2u3]

49. Can I email you some Valium?

:evilgrin: <just kidding>

[Midlodemocrat]

50. ANother hour of this and I'm taking the dog's.

Not. kidding.
