You better run fast because according to Benefit’s website it is in the Buh, Bye category (along with two other shades)!!! On sale is good!!!

Has your family tried desensitization training? What you do is you take a doggy bag and fill it with her favorite soft doggy treats (like Snausages) cut into little pieces and hang it on a post handle, fence post, mailbox, etc. Have guys call the house before they come over so someone can tell them to take the doggy bag. When they come over and when they leave, have the male drop the treat on the floor so she learns that the male gender is a source of good things. If she just sniffs them and shows no aggression, she gets treated. After she becomes comfortable, switch to just praise and love. It takes a long time so patience is a virtue but you’re basically showing her that men are okay.

We’ve been doing that with Zena for thunderstorms so she doesn’t go psycho. She hates thunderstorms. We’ve gotten her to the point that she’ll sit in the middle of the room for a few minutes and then she goes to mom or me for comfort. She isn’t whining or shaking or pacing anymore. We use little tiny pieces of cheese.

She came to our family as a second hand puppy, so I’ve often wondered about her background.

I still think of her as my pup, LOL, even though she’s almost 10!

OH, I don’t have MAC Whirl… I will have to sample it at the counter and then pop some gloss on top to see the magic happen.

I’ve heard really great things about Greek Holiday. It’s on my list, whee.
