Destructive Dog Advice?

My family adopted a great dane/black lab mix several months ago. It was unplanned, as it had been abandoned in a pet shop and was being taken care of by the staff. Our daughter fell in love with him at the store, and knowing that our other dog would love a companion, we decided to take him in. While we had not planned to get a dog on this day, we had been talking about getting one soon. From my stand point, this was fate.

Since adopting the dog, we have had him checked out by the vet, given him all of his shots, had him neutered, put him on a very healthy diet, given him regular exercise, and shown him love in every way we know how. He is wonderful with our daugthter and makes our other dog very happy too.

Now for the problems . . . he is beyond destructive. If he is out of my sight for a mere 10 minutes (which isn’t much time when I’m chasing around a two year old) something is bound to be destroyed. He has chewed up countless child’s toys, my bedroom comforter, my bed rails, an area rug, etc. The second he is spotted and knows he did something bad, he pins his ears against his head and pees everywhere. It’s not from yelling, hitting, or anything like that. All I have to do is gasp and look in his direction and he starts peeing everywhere. If I try to get him outside, he starts running in circles and just covers more area with potty.

We have tried to offer him some training. We are not professionals, but trained our Boxer well and just want him to learn some simple commands. Again, when asked to do anything, he pees. Just now I called him over, asked him to sit (which he did) and when I praised him for doing a good job, he peed all the floor and ran away.

When left comletely alone, he will play, run, jump, etc. He’ll come and jump into my lap and want to snuggle or get up onto my bed. In other words, he’s great if I allow him to chew everything and never try to correct behaviors or ask him to do anything. I am a stay at home mom so he is not left alone very often. When he is, he is put in a crate with water and chew toys. I can’t even put him outside when he’s acting up becuase he’s started chewing on my daughter’s brand new wooden playhouse, sandbox, and destroyed the curtains to our gazebo.

My entire family loves this animal, but on a realistic level, don’t know that we can keep him any longer. I am in tears at the thought of finding him a new home, but sick of being in tears because of everything he keeps ruining. We are out of money to replace things that should have never needed replacing.

Any SERIOUS thoughts would be greatly appreciated. While I love the idea of having two dogs and I love the joy he brings to both my daugther and other dog, my stress has hit the ceiling. Please help.
The dog is 8 1/2 months old and done teething. I don’t know what’s worse, the chewing or the peeing. I think he must have been abused in the past to create the peeing behavior (since it’s not marking or unable to hold it), but we have to get this under control if we are ato keep him.

Help please!!!!?

I am looking for some teen fashion blog?

I am looking for some teen fashion blogs that are geared toward artsy/diy people. Quirky is good! thanks.
These are great guys thanks! The only thing is that I forgot to add that these blogs have to be aimed at younger teens around the ages 12-15… so appropriateness is a factor. Thanks!

What are some really unique DIY clothing projects that people don’t normally think of?

I don’t have a ton of money so I was thinking of making/altering my old/thrifted clothes. The articles on About.com aren’t enough for me, they’re too plain and there’s not enough stuff for guys. I like a lot of fashion from the 60′s to the early 2000′s, I like punk fashion, glam rock, fashioncore/scene, basically anything inspired by rock or even pop culture and high fashion.

I want to DIY nearly everything I have in my closet and everything I wear. I’ve gotten ideas like painting my jeans, cutting up and putting holes on the sides on an XL tshirt and lacing it up to make a more fitted tank top, getting knock off shoes and painting/sewing patches onto them, and taking screens off old tshirts and putting them on hoodies.

I’m sick of everything I want to buy from a store being too expensive for me and the cheaper versions fall apart or are just not the quality I want, or doesn’t have enough spark. There’s a lot of stuff I could just DIY but I’m sort of lost on where to start on some things. I’ve searched Google a million times and I haven’t stumbled upon any awesome blogs that give tutorials on how to make things you don’t see every day.

If anyone could recommend any DIY fashion and crafts to me that would be amazing
I actually haven’t tried the pants/shoes paintings…. Yet. I’m about to very soon for something I want to wear to the Pride Parade. I’d totes tell what it is, but I don’t want anyone to take my idea until I’ve worn it myself. Could I just get a dog chain from Family Dollar for like $2? Lol.
I’m just gonna say this again where it might be more noticeable; I’m a guy. If you have anything specifically unisex/male, that would rock.

what are your favorite fashion blogs?

not so much runway but some with great diy ideas and new trends. kinda like lamasrichie

Resetting windows to factory settings from BIOS or command promt?

I built my computer with various parts on newegg.com, which I’ve been doing for the past 5 years and have been successful everytime with my fair knowledge on doing that. I built a new one less than a year ago and it worked fine, except if it was turned off by holding the power button, windows wouldnt load again and I’d have to restart windows by popping the CD in, and reinstalling windows. It would have this problem as long as I didnt update windows, so I just never allowed it to update. When it stopped working, windows wouldn’t load and it would just bring me to blue screen of death and restart. This time my brother turned it off and allowed it to update and I popped the CD in, this time I tried to use windows recovery tools from booting from the CD. Now when I try to boot from windows it gives me the options Windows 7, Windows 7(Recovered) and both of those don’t work… Now I’m completely stumped on how to reinstall windows… help
