I keep finding all these photos I took whenever I saw something that reminded me of someone. Here’s one I took for Marika:
Ruh-roh! I know I’m a disappointment to Marika because I was never a Scooby watcher, but Lynne was! Does one degree of viewing separation count?
I cant believe you posted this on the day I decided to have a scoob-a-thon! I am watching the first three seasons. I love that Scooby is hanging out of the window, and apparently sitting in Fred’s lap.
I would never say that I am disappointed in your lack of viewing, but I am flummoxed by it, because WHY? Why wouldn’t you watch it? I am actually disappointed in Lynne – who could’ve made you a Scooby lover, but failed to do so….
Shame, Lynne. Shame.
She’s not the boss of me! (Though she can be credited for introducing me to Casper, Wendy, Little Lotta, Richie Rich, and all the Archie characters.)
First, who is Little Lotta?
Archie excluded, the other three were not even on my radar, they were so “good” Although I always did wonder what did Casper and Spooky in. Hey, that’s a little disturbing…Casper just got a little more interesting! I liked some of the characters in Archie, primarily Betty but never saw what she liked about Archie — and they gave me Josie and the Pussycats, who as we know went on to solve mysteries in outer space.
Little Lotta is Little Dot’s friend. Also: Little Audrey and Baby Huey.
Just google image search any of them.
you and I live in two different comic/cartoon universes.
I know Richie, Casper, Wendy and especially Spooky, but I have never seen the others. Did they travel together in a van with a faithful dog solving mysteries?

At the risk of fondue… How do you re-potty-train a puppy that used to know better? Scooby Snacks doesn’t seem to help here.
We have a situation with our Charles Spaniel puppy named Michelle. Up until we hosted dogs from victims of the Black Forest Fire, she was such a playful puppy outside. She would run around and chase our older Charles Spaniel Molly all over the grass, mulch areas and even the wooden bridge over the pond. But something changed while other dogs were here. She adamantly refuses to dump her waste outside in the yard like she used to. We think she might have been stung by a bee or otherwise frightened one night. Now that those guest dogs are all back with their owners, it took us a few weeks to get her to voluntarily step outside. She’s so scared that she holds it until all of us are out of the house. When we have her outside with us for an extended period of time, she holds it until she is inside and unobserved. She does not like to walk on the grass nor the mulch. She will walk onto the bridge if I’m there begging her, but she will immediately return to her “spots” on the sidewalk until we go inside. The only thing I can think of is to leave out food and water and lock the dogs outside all day! There’s plenty of shade, if they choose to use it, but she would have to go onto the grass or the mulch to get the shade. So, I’m reluctant to do so.

The first step is a vet visit to make sure the problem isn’t physical. A change in any habits (eating, potty, play) is often the initial signal a dog gives of illness. Tell the vet exactly what’s going on.
If it’s behavioral and not physical–and household changes could certainly have triggered those–it’s time for a lot of patience. For one thing, if she’s getting reaction–even negative–to inside accidents, it may be a routine she’s developed of reclaiming attention after having to share her space with other dogs.
I’m no expert, but I wonder if a different routine would be easier than expecting her to revert to the old routine. For example, a long walk on leash in a new area, with lots of praise when she successfully potties outside.
I’m never a fan of leaving animals outside for long hours, particularly when no one is home. Even with shade and water, there are too many risks from inclement weather, other animals, digging, eating harmful things, or getting out (even in the most secure areas, human error comes into play–a meter reader or delivery person leaving a gate or door open, etc.).
Good luck!
