"I believe that I've witnessed a couple of miracles in my life. When I
was about 15 or 16 I decided to commit suicide. (I've suffered from
depression all my life, but just recently realized it.) I knew that my
mom had a large bottle of tranquilizers in her medicine cabinet. They
were there, in the exact same spot, on the exact same shelf, for
months, every single time I went into her bathroom and opened the
medicine chest. So I decided that would be how I'd do it -- take the
tranquilizers and just sort of go to sleep.

One evening I was in my room alone, I got up, went into the bathroom to
get the tranquilizers, opened the medicine chest -- and they were gone.
They just weren't there! It was the first time they had ever not been
there in their designated spot. I just sort of shrugged "oh well" and
went back to my room and went to bed. The next morning, just for
curiosity's sake, I went to the medicine chest and looked inside.
There, just like always, was the bottle of tranquilizers as if they'd
never been moved.

I realized after several years that God must have either sent someone
in to remove them or just made them invisible to me.

Another "miracle," albeit small, involved a pet dog my family had when
I was a teenager. (Maybe some would consider it silly that I call this
a miracle.) Barney was a cute little beagle. I really loved that dog,
but my step-father didn't. One day Barney was just gone. My mom found
out that my step-father had taken him to the "dog pound." Mom got the
dog back and found a home for him with some friends of hers. I was
pretty upset that Barney was gone.

One day not long after that my boyfriend and I went for a drive to a
popular local creek where people hung out, had picnics, played in the
water, etc. I think that was the only time we'd ever gone there. We
were trying to decide where to stop and park. My boyfriend asked,
"Here?" I said no, go up a little further. I sort of got this "feeling"
at a point and said, "Stop here." We did. We got out of the car and --
there was Barney! I confirmed with his owner that it was him, so there
was no question. The owner told me he'd gotten the dog from my mom.

The third incident -- not a miracle but an answered prayer -- involves
a cat. Really. I recently got a kitten and, one day while I was playing
with her, I asked God out loud if we couldn't keep her small for awhile
because they're so much cuter when they're kittens! I asked in the form
of a prayer. I guess I never expected it to actually happen. To this
day, Gracie is smaller than the average cat, even though she's fully
grown.

I also think God is the reason I got my dachshund, Rosie. I think he
knew I'd need some special companionship. This story is on "Pets" page.
I love Rosie more than I thought I could ever love an animal. I'm not
kidding when I say that she's my soul mate!

I'm writing this with the hope that I can help someone who might be at
the same point I found myself when I was wondering, researching, and
deciding. Let me save you some time.

God is with you. He loves you. He wants you to go to church. It doesn't
matter too much which church. Pick one. If you don't like that church,
pick another. What it will come down to is what you're comfortable
with. He wants you to be baptized if you haven't been. If you were
baptized as an infant, as I was, consider being confirmed.

God will be there for you - He is there for you - even if you think you
don't want or need Him.

If you're one of those people (who I used to call "Jesus Freaks") who
tried to point me in the right direction, thank you! Don't ever stop
talking about God. It may seem like you're talking to a wall, but
you're getting through to people. Some of us are just slower than
others.

Learn about God (and Jesus Christ) any way you can. Join a Bible study.
Start a home study with the Jehovah's Witnesses. Start somewhere, then
decide where you're going from there.

Learn to pray, and pray often. God, like any loving parent, isn't too
particular about how you pray -- He just wants to hear from you!"

This is getting weird! You're about the third or fourth
person who has posted this exact same thing in the last
year or so. The reason I know this is because I also have
two 17-year old cats that do the same thing. In each case -
I am not making this up - the cats were 17 years old! So I
have paid particular attention to these posts.

I am convinced that my cats are healthy, and can find no
logical reason for their crying. It drives me crazy -
especially when they do it three or four times a night,
whether they're locked out of the bedroom or not.

One of my two teens (Dufus) will stop when I say "shut up!" But
the other one (Bubba) just gets louder! I tried some reverse
psychology recently -- when Bubba started I yelled "Louder!" I
was surprised when he actually stopped yelling! Whatever works!

I have never read any replies to any of these people that
explained their cats' "yowling," and no one has ever posted
a follow up to let us know if there was any problem found
with the cats or if the cats ever stopped their yowling.

Please do let us (me) know if you get any good answers that
aren't posted here.

You can see my two teenagers, and my five other pets (cats &
dogs), on my website. URL is below.

Don't waste your time. Just block/filter him out and ignore

Think of him as the AIDS virus: there's no cure, but there's

I'm not a trainer and my experience is limited to my
two dogs, so take it for what it's worth. As someone
who had to deal with a puppy who had his own ideas
about what was and what wasn't "proper behavior", I
was very happy to find The Amazing Puppy Wizard's
dog training method.

It is a method that is gentle to the dog, very easy
to apply and it has been working wonderfully with
both my dogs, giving practically instant results.

It was as if I had been given the "key" to understanding
and controlling my puppy's behavior: suddenly, he was
istening to me, doing what I was asking him to do, instead
of constantly opposing me.

It also worked with some issues my older dog had, too -
her fear of thunder, her barking and her aggression
towards another female dog.

Don't let either the first impression about the "weirdness"
of The Amazing Puppy Wizard, or the regulars' negative opinion
of him (there's a long history behind it) deter you from at
least reading the manual and deciding for yourself if you
want to try it or not.

I wish all the best to you and your dog.

Within a few minutes?

Outstanding growing up process this must have been, to occur
after repeating just a few times the dreaded praise for bad
behavior!

                           The Way Of Life,
                                And
                          The Way Of Death.

            And Disciple Paulie said unto them, Thus shall ye
            say to your master, Thus saith The LORD Of DOG,
            Be not afraid of the words which thou hast heard,
            with which the servants of koehler and university
            trained behaviorists and veterinary malpracticioners
            have blasphemed me.

         Works,  They Assume It's All Nicey Nicey And don't
         Realise It's A Very Disciplined Method That Deals With

         And Understanding.

         I've never forced my dogs to do anything, I tell them
         they are good dogs and they seem to follow me, once
         I told them they were bad dogs and they ran away from
         me, now I only ever tell them they are good dogs and
         they always are, always.

        Trust your dog, ask it to do your request and say "good
        dog" sincerely at the end of the request and I bet you'll
        find your dog thinking then responding everytime.
        A bit of respect works wonders, the same rule applies
        to every aspect of the relationship with your dog.

        Obedience and affection are not related, if they were
        everyone would have obedient dogs.

        I have found giving dogs "payment" in advance i.e. "Sam
        sit goodboy" makes the dogs want to respond, after all,
        all dogs want to be "good dogs" and if you tell them they
        are good then they feel an obligation to obey your request.

        Telling Sam he's a good dog AFTER he sit's apart from
        been too late is also a gamble because if he doesn't
        sit then there's no positive interaction.

                   and the daughter against her mother,

                  All truth passes through three stages.
                         First, it is ridiculed.
                   Second, it is violently opposed.
              Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.
