how did you get stuck with 2 dogs skip?
My step-mother is having back surgery Oct 4. She will be laid up for some time and asked if I'd take the dogs. I hesitated because I knew that I'd get attached to Cubs, but agreed to put her mind at ease and out of respect for my dad(deceased).

Well, yesterday while at OG-Racing, she calls and tells me of her father's renewed cancer and heart problems. Then she reminds me about taking the dogs(I had forgotten) and states that it might be for good. Wasn't ready for that. I'm hoping that she's just weary and will reconsider after she's up and well. Besides, with my dad gone, the dogs are her only constant companionship.

Big OUCH. I swore I'd never own another cell phone again. In Vermont it doesn't really matter if you have one. If you don't have one in Virginia, everyone looks at you like a moron. Still debating getting rid of the cell phone I have now.

That is exactly why I keep cats... Dogs = PITA...

My sis has a couple of Goldens that I can go play with if ever I am in need of some "puppy love." ( No :skip:!) Every time I see them, though I do enjoy their company, I remember why cats are and dogs .



I can tell you this... I am more apt to get some with the (Cubby) in the car. He's a pretty lovable canine.

w3rd...

Since Sept. 1, I have received a total of 4 phone calls and one txt message (thanks, Jeff )...

And I have made a total of 8 calls... One of which was to "voicemail."

Some days I wonder why I pay for it...

I hear that...

One of my sister's dogs has full blown champion heritage. His dad is #4 in the US and his mom is #8. The only reason he is "pet grade" is because of an overbite.

He brings em out of the wood-work!

I hear you on that. But you would be surprised on much you enjoy the convenience of having a phone.
