Good afternoon!

( Gratuitous puppy pictureCollapse )

This is Ajax, a four month old Cavalier x Cocker Spaniel.
He's a gorgeous little pup who loves walks, making friends with humans and dogs alike, sleeping near us, being trained (because he knows he gets treats!) and eating his pigs ears.
He's full of energy and gets walked twice a day to tire him out. He went to puppy school and he's nearly mastered the sit, drop and come commands.

The problem, however, is his persistent biting and aggression. We discovered early on that he responds best to a soft, quiet voice when being instructed, but not when he becomes frisky.
He's broken skin numerous times, and we've tried a range of things to try and stop him. We bought a bitter apple paste that was a waste of money - he actually liked the taste -, dog whistles, ultrasonic sound emitters that only dogs can hear. Mum has problems with her skin and can't afford to have any bite wounds and has resorted to putting Tabasco sauce on her feet to deter him, which it does, except the scent sends him into a frenzy which makes him bite more. The vet suggested time out areas which don't work either. He just gets out and does it all over again!

I called a dog behaviourist who offered some helpful information to help us understand the dog, but his prices are much too expensive for just a few hours.

Does anybody know of any somewhat affordable behaviourists, preferably in the eastern suburbs?
My mum is on a pension and my income is patchy, so any that would consider taking those factors into account would be wonderful.
Thank you in advance!

Not for exciting reasons; quite the opposite. I've been terribly boring and quiet and sleepy and therefore without much to say.

Except I guess when I round it all up, maybe there are a few things.

- I had a lovely weekend with likeadeuce and then meeting up with old friends in Virginia Beach. Despite being on the beach only for a little while, and half of that time it was raining, I still got sunburned. I did get this picture of the storm moving in and the pier. (Link is to my photo tumblr.)

- Working on my first queer_fest fic, which is due Monday. Posting on Memorial Day: not terribly smart, but on the other hand, it's small-fandom femslash, so it probably doesn't matter. I'm pleased with the story so far, just need to get all the way through.

- Added a Star Trek reboot gen casefile/mission fic to my to-write list for summer.

- Finished the main part of the cross-stitch gift for my brother's wedding. Just need to add the names and the date. Embroider-tree. (Link is to my Instagram. I have too many online selves.) I'm really pleased with how this turned out!

- Did 3.5 miles on the treadmill, yay.

There is probably more, but I am sleepy and I don't remember. Lots of exciting things coming up in the next few weeks, though! Jazzhands, and all that.

This issue covers May 21st in crossover fandom.

All fan fiction has been listed at least twice, once for each fandom represented in the story. As the lists are very long, lj cuts have been implemented. Enjoy!

We don't pretend that what you see in this newsletter covered everything in the world of crossovers on Livejournal for the dates in question, though we have done our best. Please feel free to comment with suggestions on ways to improve the newsletter. Also, please let us know of any content we have overlooked or if any of the links are broken.

Note: We are looking for an editor for crossover_news. If you are interested in compiling our Thursday edition (posting the newsletter on Friday), please leave a comment on any issue.

Cut for those who haven't seen the newest episode Thanks!

I refer, of course, to the attack which took place in Woolwich earlier today. I read about it on Twitter, unable to believe my eyes. There's an account taking place in real time on someone's twitter here.

It is beyond belief.

For synopsis and coverage both the BBC, SKY & ITV are all over it. The ITV newspage has a seriously disturbing photograph on the front page, so be aware when/if clicking.

I clearly remember the London bombing of 2005. This is far, far, more surreal and just... insane, somehow.

This came up in my thread yesterday but, because I'm self-aggrandizing, I felt it was worth posting as its own separate discussion topic. Thanks to, jadedanielle, who crystalized the question for me. Who wrote The History of the Time War?

( There are any number of candidatesCollapse )

I'm sure I've missed some options. Who do you think wrote it?
