[elye]

So I emailed about my picture and when the big debut would be and have not heard back yet.....Maybe it wont happen....maybe I should boycott the store!

Amanda!! We are all waiting wif bated breath for your published photo and comments....HOW DARE THEY KEEP US WAITING?!

30!!!

Darned kids

Tell me about it......

Wow Emily's an ascii-art Wizard!!

Is THAT what that keyboard fiddlin' is called? It has a name? There's a whole science behind it, I'm sure, and formulas...patterns.....programs....

ITCHIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

<---------

Mr. Chow sighting!

Em - did you say you were seeing the poodle pup on Saturday?????????? Well, she's as good as yours, eh?????

I think we are...actually, Susie, you may have answers to some questions I have about bringing a second dog into the fold, as I guess you did by bringing home Annie when Stinker was already there. I think I'll start a thread on it...just advice on things like whether it's a good idea to let them eat and drink from the same bowls (our cats do), whether there's anything we need to worry about with jealousy, dominance, this kind of thing....I' assume they just work it out between them....

You're still agonizingly itchy, S-oozie? Surely there must be a bit of relief with the steroid, no?

does it count......not sure. Pholks? does it? No threat/mystery/stealth involved in photographing an inert object...

Emily - bringing the dog in............'tis quite a delicate thing! I do think they need separate bowls, for one thing. And - there's a balance between making Gustavius quite secure in his first/alpha position, and making the new dog feel welcome and special. Tika was used to strays coming in and out - none stayed for more than a week, so she was okay w/ Annie in the beginning........but when she realized that this had gone on for too long - she was not happy. I would say it took a few months....I have many photos of the first time they shared the dog bed together. (Annie was MORE than willing to be a love - but Stinker, not so much)

Annie kept running away, at least once a week for the first six months.....but always returning. I was keeping her off the couch/bed etc., respecting Tika's primary position - - but Annie thrives on love and closeness, hand-holding, romantic eye-gazing - NOT KIDDING. So......I finally let her sleep on the bed (tika was no longer interested) and snuggle on the couch w/ me, and she stopped running away.

I think it was close to a year before Stinker really displayed affection adn love for Annie. they were the dearest sisters, in the end.....

I think it will be easier w/ Gus - - um, if I may say so delicately - I don't think he quite has the brainpower as my Stinker. (few dogs or humans do ) He'll probably love the companionship! Just make sure he feels quite special and has some alone time for snuggling/playing/walking, whatever.

and NO, my itchies are not much better on steroids..... probably takes a while.

OMG - I think I'll go rent a carpet shampooer..............will be left alone w/ dingo thoughts - - HEINOUS!!

[DingoGirl]

Sillies.........where is everyone today? so quiet..........

Okay.......I feel exTREMEly swolt-up and puffy - - is this from prednisone? Feel like a bloat-bomb everywhere - um, aren't steroids supposed to REDUCE swelling?

I know Patti got moon face - - any other knowledge/experiences?

swolt-up :lol:

I think they reduce inflammation, but can cause short term water retention and long term weight gain.

Ohhhhh, yeah!

My dad and good friend were both on Pred a couple of years ago, around the same time. Moon-faces for sure! My dad's ankles and wrists also became quite swollen. He was on it for a heinously long time, and his chub-face did deflate somewhat after a while. Yep, it's definitely on the side-effects-to-expect list.....

S-oozie! You must be starting to resemble an emoticon!

Perhaps this one?

Or this guy?

[tom]

does it count......not sure. Pholks? does it? No threat/mystery/stealth involved in photographing an inert object...

Gnich? Do you call her "it"? It, "her"?

DOES she have a naaaa^aaame?

I'm figuring, inanimate or not, a neighbor's a neighboUr.

<fat chance>

I don't think he quite has the brainpower as my Stinker.

Sounded like .. .. .the impact of a thrown gauntlet!

oh dear gawd. Am happy that this is only a one-week course....

S-oozie! You must be starting to resemble an emoticon!

Perhaps this one?

Or this guy?

it's that one. Because my face is gettign bigger and my eyes - smaller. BAH! wrists and ankles definitely feel swolt, fo' shizzle

' Squeezee do well in staring contests?

oh yes.......but it's the love stare.........she squints her eyes and sucks you in with her powers of canine healing. This is accompanied by hand-holding, and few can resist....... I wish you all could meet my Weez..........she is seriously not happy until she has made sure that EVERYone is her friend, so she would have to hold hands wif all of youse.....

GAUNTLET??????????? oh no, not a'tall. Em is the one who called her Gus sub-standard?

[Mtndog]

HALLO SILLIES- i am sad. sadie went to her new home today. She watched out the door as I drove away and I burst into tears. Angus is quite confused. Not doing that again anytime soon....they weasel their way into my heart in minutes! :wub: But she will have a good life and she only lives 20 minutes away!

But WE may have a new group pup if Emily gets the snowy beauty!!!!!!!!

Emily! You are such an artiste! Fabulous!!!

She is RATHER amazing, methinks!

=^..^=

We'll have to settle for that little kitty.

Hillbilly vasectomy!

Nikkeigh- She is gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!! Does my garden Buddha count? If I can't get a picture of the dark Irish brooding man?

and NO, my itchies are not much better on steroids..... probably takes a while.

OMG - I think I'll go rent a carpet shampooer..............will be left alone w/ dingo thoughts - - HEINOUS!!

UGH on the itchiness.....it MUST go away.........NOW! King Peter- command it!

Oh sad dingo thoughts- they are bittersweet!

You must all take Open Original Shared Link.

This was my result:

"You are sweet, mellow, and easily satisfied.You don't like anything too intense and dramatic.

Deep down, you're a kid at heart... and you're nostalgic for the past. You are down to earth and lovable.

A true friend, you're very tolerant and understanding.In fact, your friends' biggest problem is that they don't like each other!

You love being around people. Friendships are important to you. You feel lost when you're by yourself... so you tend to avoid being alone."

[elye]

hear that?

Sounded like .. .. .the impact of a thrown gauntlet!

Did Fox ever air that My Pet is Smarter Than Yours pilot??

Gus'd lose....FEMALE standard poodles are frighteningly intelligent - - right underneath our border collie friends. Males are...somewhat sub-standard. Still in the top eight, apparently, but I wouldn't expect him to clean up on Doggy Jeopardy....

Ahhhhh.....did you hear that? The thunk! of another thrown gauntlet?......

Em!! "deflate somewhat???" !!! <yer gonna SCARE someone!>

Well, yeah....his head did remain a little Humpty-Dumptyish until he went completely off the heinous stuff....

[Mtndog]

Oh my GAWD...just took the Open Original Shared Link and it informed me that my slogan should be:

"Beverly, the other white meat" . Hold me I'm scared!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kurt's is: "Kurt, champagne for the brain " :lol:

[DingoGirl]

OMG

I put in Susie and got - Susie, the other white meat. Put in Susan and got "once you go Susan, you'll never go back."

Bevvy............. So sad about Sadie......but happy also - she has a great home, not too far from her bf........do they get to have play dates?

POOH!!!!!!!!!! *I* am waiting for something, anything, to deflate.

Gauntlet, doggy jeopardy? well - that ship has sailed as our brilliant Stinker has gone - - and ain't no way in hell Weezee can press taht buzzer in time........ :lol:

[Jestgar]

"Beverly, the other white meat" .

:lol:

My chocolate is:

You are sophisticated, modern, and high class.

Your taste is refined, but you are not picky.

You are often the first to try something new.

You are emotionally expressive and sensitive.

You're effected by everything around you.

Your friends appreciate your open heart, but they are afraid of hurting your feelings.

You love to be the center of attention. You enjoy entertaining your friends.

You feel lost when no one is interested in you... You're too interesting to be ignored.

And my slogan:

Once You Go Jess. You'll Never Go Back.

second one:

Have You Ever had a Bad Time in Jess?

I sound expensive and kinky :lol:

[elye]

Okay, hear ye hear ye....my slogan:

Emily. It's What's For Dinner Tonight.

Oh my GAWD...just took the Open Original Shared Link and it informed me that my slogan should be:

Kurt's is: "Kurt, champagne for the brain " :lol:

Mine is "Patti. What's the Worst that Can Happen?"

.......They don't want to know!

[elye]

Okay, Ptaoughmn...What's YOUR slogan?

You need to spell yer name as I have......

[tom]

Nikkeigh- She is gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!! Does my garden Buddha count?

Having a name should be step one. <check>

If the Grecian Lady's name is Sofia, would we spell it Sophia anyway?

[psawyer]

King Peter!!!!!

Well.....I think we're going to see that poodle pup this Saturday......

I think.......

You think, and I hope. If it does come to pass, I agree that each should have their own bowls, though as they compete for alpha-dog status they may issue challenges by eating out of the other bowl.

Neither one can be allowed to achieve alpha-dog position. At all times, the alpha-dog must be a sentient biped. You are the clear first choice for this role. If you can dominate the quadrupeds in the house, you may eventually be able to dominate the other bipeds.

When the going gets tough, the tough get going.

Sillies what a soggy Friday! I am literally soaked and I had a huge umbrella and a windbreaker...tis time for me to head home too wet to work! I wish.

I do have lots to do so this day should go by pretty quickly. As long as it doesnt rain tomorrow. The trip to my families house is horrid in the rain....dense fog where you cannot even barely see your car hood...let alone anything else.

Tonight we need to pick up a cake, get Landen, and I am doing a surprise for Jen since it is her first mothers day as well. We got one of those handprint kits and we are making Landen's handprint for her. I hope she likes it. She deserves to be appreciated on her first Mothers day even if the baby is too young and the rest of the family is away. What do you all think?

[elye]

God Morning, Fellow Sillies!

SO I've been walking slowly and methodically around the house, trying to figger where I would place more dog food/water bowls....Didn't account for these kinds of things when we renovated. Where in hell was my brain? Why didn't I allow for an added canine annex? Then there's the second bed......hmmmm...it would be easier if both large dogs slept up wif me, and DH moved.....

Neither one can be allowed to achieve alpha-dog position. At all times, the alpha-dog must be a sentient biped. You are the clear first choice for this role. If you can dominate the quadrupeds in the house, you may eventually be able to dominate the other bipeds.

Man - - Head Biped Status....'tis a dream to which I aspire.....

I think it's a splendid plan, Amanda! How kind of you...I am certain that Jen will love this! She's really lucky to have you guys.

Thanks again for all the birthday wishes, you guys!!! Had a pretty good day, although last night was crazy.

Our whole area (and I'm talking like 6 counties) got whomped with tornadoes last night!!!

We don't have any damage, just some debris- but not even much of that. The industrial area where Brian's office is is completely shut down, they're not even letting anyone in the area. Gas leak, I think, and all the buildings have to be checked for structural damage. There were injuries at the big FedEx hub, and someone even got killed!

I don't know how many tornadoes there were, but there were several hitting one after the other. The closest one was about 3/4 of a mile from us. But we're fine.
