the last dog we had was a white Pekanease he loved the snow he was 14 when he passed away

CO did you get the email can't do the attachment in the email from CGCS

Joe e I think I will try and get a pat.on this instead of saline lets put helium in those head lamps and then they will float can you imagine all the backs we can save and men want have to lift so much lol

Yep.. did as instructed Vet .. check your mail.

i need to change my email they have been sent

When I was a kid we left them in a room with the whole floor covered with papers, I slept outside the door on the floor waiting for the crying to stop then I'd hug and hold them. That's the only way I know to papertrain and break from crying.

I finally got a story worth RA, IMHO:

The guy in our office that chases down bad checks was talking to
a businessman who went through a break-up with his mistress.

He asked for the jewelry, the car and some cash back that he had given her
since she made the decision. Well, she refused. He took her to court.

She testified that the payments were for "services rendered" and the
judge threw his case out of court. But, it doesn't end there...
like I said - they guy was a businessman.

He told our check chaser he felt alright about the situation because...
he was going to file a Form 1099 (showing the gifts as her income)
with the IRS, since he had paid for "services rendered".

IRS form ??would like to see what she depreciate lol

Thanks Vet ! Received and I love it ! Pie looks just as I pictured and Buddy is a sweetie! And Ill ship Mr Pie a bra tomorrow.. (that one is for Pie when she finds a computer )

he had been in the pool lol

Don't ship her a bra! Don't we spend most of our lives trying to get out of wearing one of those titty suffocaters?

Beautiful dog Betty. I amost have my mind made up to buy a pug...but I'm no good at the potty training business so I don't know.

I'm sure pie is purty but I would like to see the picture? Can I?

luv to all
heart

It's things like that story that make life worth living!

Ohhh! Nice to come home and see all his activity.

vet - I want to see the pictures...pretty please. Lucky you for meeting our Pie and Company!

Betty - Do not put the food and water in Tuffy's cage. According to the books I got when I was raising the Bentley. I would refer the titles to you, but I just gave them to a coworker who got a new Lab puppy.

Pegatha - Sorry, the avatar needs to go. You might think so, but it doesn't suit you at all. Hmmph.

SFC White - It is very good to see you around these parts again.

Doc - Love the outhouse picture. Now who was that poor soul caught in someone who used to be heres abode? Could it be someone who hails from Idaho? Yeah, yeah, I know...time to censor myself.

Glad to see ya laughing heart.

Good morning everyone!
(or what ever 'tis where ever you is, eh?)
Weather's gonna be so nice I oughta go fishin', eh? Methinks I hear them fluke callin' me.Gosh golly gee whiz, you're no fun, eh? Methinks keepin' it short and not lettin' him hide under a mass of fur might give him some kinda identity crisis. Besides, look at all the nest buildin' materials you'll be deprivin' them birds of by keepin' it short.Watched the first couple hours and methinks 'twas not worth the effort. Seemed like 'twas the same old partisan talkin' heads givin' their side's spin, but no real analysis.

They also did some on site reportin' from CT, but 'twas all from on The Green in New Haven where, of course, they made it sound like 'twill be a walk in the park for Lamont. By their reports you'd never've guessed Lieberman is actually ahead, eh?

I turned it off after wastin' a couple hours watchin' 'cause methinks 'tweren't worth wastin' any more electrons. Not MSNBCs finest hour!Good stuff, eh? And now methinks you got no worries for piss testin' either! Better life through chemistry! Hopefully 'twill help you. Good luck!Y'all realize us cat folk don't have them problems, eh?There ain't no way the easiest route to IL from Tally goes through NC and VA, eh? Methinks they're just tryin' to stay away from St Pete 'til hurricane season's over.I gotta second that motion, eh? Besides, methinks I miss the nun doin' gymnastics!

Hi ho, hi ho, 'tis off to go flukin' I go!

Well, here's hopin' the weather's great where ever y'all are at! Enjoy the day, be safe, stay well and remember to play nice!

ok heart and mtnmagic how would i send pic by snail mail lol need email pm me ok,i still may end up in pie dog house
someone should have a pic in the mail by now!!!!

It's (probably) only temporary. 'Sides, it does fit.

Good Morning from the zoo.

We've had our morning greeting which was effusive and very good for the ego. I've never ever had anyone so happy to see me as Tuffy was this morning when I arrived to open his cage ! He saw me at the top of the stairs and went into a jumping up and down routine which would rival circus tumblers.

He wants to play and see if I can run as fast as he does. If I could do that I'd be 6 years old again ! He wasn't the least bit interested in using his paper pad and in fact decided to eat it.

He then walked into the family room and relieved himself . This ain't gonna be easy !

I am beginning to think I better opt for outside training but not until he has had the rest of his shots. I am taking him to the vet today to be thoroughly checked and he is due for the second series of shots so after that I guess its going outside for me before I even have coffee. Considering the fact I'm in a semi coma until I have my caffeine that's gonna be a bit of a task. Aw, what the heck ! fresh air never hurt anyone ! I am going to buy a collar and leash today and then I can secure him in one spot until I get my coffee and take it out as we play outdoors at 6.30 in the morning. Oh joy ! I can't wait !

None of this is in any way his fault of course. This wee guy is affectionate and loving and hasn't a clue he's doing anything the least bit out of the ordinary. "Patience and love". Its my new mantra.

It's so much easier with my birds. When they have fly time I follow behind with paper towel and its simple to clean up after them with no hassle or damage incurred. That ain't gonna work with a puppy ! So I have to get him trained. I'm much too much of a clean freak to do otherwise.

And Fly ... This is what Tuffy looks like !! Or at least this is a very close facsimile except that he has dark hair around his eyes and his ears. Not that long haired freak !



Have fun people. I am.

Here are some little known, very interesting facts about Texas..


1. Beaumont to El Paso: 742 miles

2. Beaumont to Chicago: 770 miles

3. El Paso is closer to California than to Dallas

This one's for Doc
12. King Ranch in South Texas is larger than Rhode Island.

13. Tropical Storm Claudette brought a US. rainfall record of 43" in 24 hours in and around Alvin in July 1979.

14. Texas is the only state to enter the U.S. by TREATY, (known as Constitution of 1845 by Republic of Texas to enter the union) instead of by annexation. This allows the Texas flag to fly at the same height as the US flag, and may divide into 4 States.

21. Tejas is not Spanish for Texas.

22. The first domed stadium in the U.S. was the Astrodome in Houston.

23. THE TEN COMMANDMENTS - TEXAS STYLE People here in Texas have trouble with all those "shalls" and "shall nots" in the ten Commandments. Folks here just aren't used to talking in those terms. So, some folks out in west Texas got together and translated the "King James" into "King Ranch" language:
Cowboy's Ten Commandments posted on the wall at Cross Trails Church in Fairlie, Texas.

(1) Just one God.
(2) Honor yer Ma & Pa.
(3) No telling tales or gossipin'.
(4) Git yourself to Sunday meeting.
(5) Put nothin' before God.
(6) No foolin' around with another fellow's gal.
(7) No killin'.
(8) Watch yer mouth.
(9) Don't take what ain't yers.
(10) Don't be hankerin' for yer buddy's stuff

Now that's kinda plain an' simple don't ya think?

Y'all have a good Day.
Ye hear now ?
"THE EYES OF TEXAS ARE UPON YOU"

Not going to venture further with this one...Okey Dokey!

Use tough love for the training.

Put his nose in the business, slap his nose, say NO in a firm tone and set him where he supposed to do the deed.

Make sure that everyone in the home uses the same approach.

If this doesn't do the trick add additional punishment of time in an area that he does not like (Basement, Garage, outside) away from the family. -- not the cage

One other thing--- if you want him to go outside in the future then that's how you should train him now.

It's always worked for me through the many dogs I've had.. The only accidents I can attribute were to the need of attention on my part, sickness or old age.

Good Luck!

Almost forgot you should reward him from doing the business right.

After spending many hours of research on this, I believe the answer is "no".

I stayed in that hotel that's over water in Galveston when I was all of 18 (and there were boys!). Have a pic of the young man I fancied, who was freshly back from Vietnam and a risk-taking fool, holding me over the water off our deck, about 80 feet up. Glad my mother never saw it! She'd have died! But I sure look happy in that picture...

Have also been to Caddo Lake, just a few months ago. It was beautiful and swampy - spanish moss and cypress knees all over.

Who knows? If Kinky wins, I just may move!

Good day, all. Off to see my eye-doc today. Woke up with temporary blindness in my GOOD EYE... Already have a cane and a dog, so I don't feel like taking on any new, or replacements. joe e

I thought perhaps you were getting an early start on Holloween.



Works on people too (sometimes).

We put our last pup in a baby crib in the living room and stuck a strip of vinyl flooring in it so he could practice getting it right. Just happened to have this crib and it also doubled as a holding area without the dog feeling that he was being cooped up. Sounds pretty off-the-wall but it was actually a great conversation starter and still is today.

Glad you found your way over here.

good luck joe hope everything works out ok

Good luck, hope it turns out not to be anything major. Yeah, stick with the cane and the dog, a car with a braille speedometer makes people nervous!

When we were kids my sister didn't quite get the hang of it. She rubbed a puppys nose in it then for good measure held the puppy up to face and yelled "NO", wanting to make friends the puppy kissed her on her lips.

Ok Heart ... most of this is for you ...

Busy day and some progress. Tuffy actually used the puppy pad several times and each time received effusive praise from me. Of course I cheated. I have created a pathway of puppy pads making it virtually impossible for him to not hit them now and again. When he missed he got a harsh scolding .. its a start. As he uses them more often I will eliminate until I'm down to one and that one near the back door. Next step outside. But first he has to have the rest of his shots. He got a clean bill of health from the Vet today and his booster shot. He gets his rabies shot next month and after that I'll concentrate on outdoors. We have too many wild critters around here to take chances before that.

now the part for Heart ...

Mid afternoon we were sitting on the deck and had Tuffy out there with us. He can't jump off it yet with those short little legs. We had a surprise visit from Les' daughter and granddaughter and they had Tuffy's sister with them. I had told them that she was with Tuffy and that we had picked him. They loved him so much that they went today and bought her.

The instant they spotted one another they both went berserk ! Kisses and jumping up and down etc... it was adorable to watch. And then our little guy showed his stuff. He mounted her grabbed her shoulders with his front paws, pulled her toward him and humped his little heart out ! Nothing we said would stop him. He would just return and do it all over again and again. He's a sex fiend !! And he looks so innocent and sweet !! Not only is that a fallacy ( he's a true male) he would cheerfully engage in incest ! When they left and took that little harlot with them we came indoors and Tuffy passed out .. literally. He slept so soundly we had a heck of a time waking him to go to the Vet for our 5.15 appointment!

Oh yeah .. one other thing .. I said the kitchen and Living room were safe from him still.. wrong !! We were having dinner in the kitchen. He was downstairs. Les glanced down and said you have to see this ... there was Tuffy .. he had one front paw over the side of the stair molding and was using it for leverage as he climbed every one of those stairs to the kitchen and then sat there proud as punch.

So one thing I do know .. that expression about sc***ing your brains out definitely doesn't apply to Tuffy. His brains are definitely still intact!

And now the other news of today. Les got his test results today. No bone cancer. That was our fear(the Doctor's and mine) but neither of us had told Les what he was being checked for. And I hadn't even told you people as I didn't want to put it down in readable form.

Now he's sending him to an orthopedic man as he does have two really bad discs in his spine which may be the cause of all the pain radiating into his hip. He says the Ortho may suggest a cortisone shot. That I can deal with. And if it gives some relief to Les from pain that's a gift from the gods after all the months of suffering.

all in all .. not a bad day.

Betty, that's the best news I've heard in a very long time. Bless you both.

good news CO hope the shots work

Good news Betty,

Let's see if this works for you.

Happy Days

Thanks Peg. And Cardinal ! He also got an all clear on the prostate as well. That had been among the other options the doctor had checked but he says Les is AOK there.

edit no 2 ! Geez I'm slow ! Three of you posted while I was writing !

me too vet and thanks !

Dodged the bullet again! Seems like I slept with my eye pressing on my hand, which cut off the blood flow. That caused the pain and blindness that I experienced. Fortunately it was functional rather than organic. Took a deep breath, hugged the doctor and thanked the 'Great Master Chief' in the sky...

I'd hate to have done this every time I took Simon for a walk

joe e

Betty - That is great news. You must be incredibly relieved. Thank God for small favors. When you take Les to the orthopod, ask the orthopod to order some physical therapy for Les to help him with this back.

Well hell's bells...I was in the middle of a Mtnmagic Midnight Musing..hit what I thought was the button for the Smilies, and lost the whole post!

Am not going to try and recreate that again tonight. Suffice to say...you are all in my thoughts..I had gotten through about 3/4 of you and poof! All gone...will see how I feel tomorrow.

Good Night!

Good Morning .. I think.

I am having to get used to someone demanding my attention before I've even had coffee. Its a real test for me so I have to make this quick again and get to playing on the floor. Hey ! they say old folks need exercise so it can't be all bad !

I'll pop back later after the youngster's energy level reaches a sensible plateau.

I haven't even had a chance to read back so apologies if I missed something I should have addressed.

Hope everyone has a GREAT day !

oh! one thing .. I finally succumbed. The three canary kids will be leaving home today. That means I will have only the four adults to care for .. my precious Petey, and Casey their Mommy, Benjie my gentle angel who gets along with everyone, and Buffy my little club footed wonder and superior singer. They are going to a good home so hopefully will be happy and will be well cared for.

LOL.. That's one puppy kiss I wouldn't want.

Good Day to all.. HAPPY FRIDAY. This weekend is going to be one of looking back; with September 11th around the corner and my Father-in-law passing away last year this time.

Let the spirit of those that we have loved and known carry us forward this day and everyday forward in celebrating life!!

Cheers all

Well my beagle has developed some rather bad habits in her old age. #1 is she thinks any smooth and clean concrete surface was placed on earth for her to use as a toilet. 145 acres of farm land here and she's got to crap on the bottom step at the back door.

Maybe she does it just to get a chuckle at seeing me step in it on my way out to the barn? Naugh, I learned weeks ago to avoid it.

I pointed out to my wife the pile on the bottom step I've been sweeping off for weeks every morning then the puddle on the side walk. Her suggestion to deal with this problem? If I forget make sure I leave my boots on the stoop before entering the house.

Good morning everyone!
(or what ever 'tis where ever you is, eh?)

After gettin' home from an okay day fishin' (the bay is still all stirred up from the storms we had) found we had modem problems last night cut my online time short after doin' a bit of "Retreatin'", eh? Went out this mornin' and found a new one that's supposed to be compatible with my DSL service, but couldn't get it to connect. Reconnected the old modem, tried gettin' it to work right, was 'bout ready to give up and whacked it with my hand, it worked! Guess violence is called for on occasion, eh? Long haired freak? Methinks you'd best not say that 'round your little fur ball 'lest he get the idea he's some kinda monster. He is what he is, and your attempts at reprogrammin' ain't gonna change that, eh?

You might be interested in this and others out there like it. Methinks that breed might have a few special requirements.



Think he could get rid of the humidity?Methinks you really probably just strained it lookin' for pictures of well endowed ladies to post here. Glad it turned out okay, eh?'Course you realize us cat folks don't have them problems, eh? My evil kitty gets his saucer of coffee and milk when I get my first cup of the mornin', and everything's copastetic for the rest of the day.

Methinks farmin' out the extra livestock was a grand idea. Now all you gotta contend with is jealousy amongst the feathery critters you got left for your new furry bundle.

Now if you can just get Les fixed up methinks the world will be alright again. Hopefully cortisone injections do the trick, eh?

Well, here's hopin' the weather's great where ever y'all are at! Enjoy the day, be safe, stay well and remember to play nice!




Added on edit: 'Twould seem #200's not far off!

Y'all don't follow the links on the post Solve et Coagula made in the military forum.

The last one will give your computer more bugs than you can catch in a Tiajuana whorehouse.

Did you post the above in the thread? I think you should!!!!! (justice!)

We do the best we can about following links etc. but also rely on our members to point out things we may have missed. That doesn't mean we will always agree, but in this case we do. The topic has been removed.

So now I have to find out how many bugs I can catch in a Tiajuana whorehouse the other way?

Y'all might wanna think 'bout dininfectin' the place too, eh? If you need a pest control guy methinks Tom DeLay's no longer gainfully employed and might just be available.Trust me, after havin' treated various bugs from TJ over the years methinks you don't wanna even think 'bout it.

Note to Liza Jane: Methinks you'd best be watchin' the post count & not get distracted by other things

Okay, so I'm flattered. When Betty thinks of me she thinks of cute animal stories and sex. So, if there is a cute animal sex story all the better right?????

Excuse me while I go poke my eyes out with a sharp stick! I just googled "cute animal sex" and was really sorry that I did.

However, I will share this:
