Thanks for the new room Cookie!

I'm first!! Laaa lalaaa lalala laaaaaaaaaaaa

Ah LK beat me! LOL

Morning!!!

Yes having a dog can cramp traveling plans. Doug and I both love dogs and want one but with us taking off on the motorcycle it is not a good idea. So we agreed that when we settle down, (in about 10 years) then we will get one.

Same time, so it was a tie!!! LOL!

LOL, drats thought I was first

Joycet

I know you only invited sistas's.....
But you forget me...




Tubby

Waving Tubby!!

Tubby you are always welcome here or any other thread!
What are you up to today?

Linda Kay

Not much just lurking....LOL



Crissy
Waving back at ya........




Tubby

Joyce will Dave know today if he'll get the extension or does he have to wait a bit to find out?

Well I'm doing the happy dance for sure...welcome home stranger...Riley came back after 10 days in nowhere land..sure did miss that kitty..

I'm with some of you, I've enjoyed travelling weekends and weeks here and there and always having to find someone to live at the house to look after the animals..wouldn't be bad if it were just kitties, someone could come in here and there but a doggie, no go, needs constant care...when Sailor girl goes, that's the end of dogs for me!

Betty does Riley still look healthy, like he's been eating?

well the dog is here
her name is Lucy
what have i done ? !

Sue, show us some pix, please ^_^

Crissy, she doesn't look like she's gone without a meal..lol..think she might have 2 homes..don't like putting a collar on the kitties because I think it's dangerous in they were to get caught on something but might go looking for different collars and put name tag..maybe somebody thought they were doing her a favor, feeding her and housing her for 10 days

Thanks for the new room Cookie!

That's your baby and of course your heart must have soared to see Riley, Betty!
You're lucky to have neighbours who love animals.
If any of mine were to stray in this neighbourhood.. I can only count on 2 that will try to feed it.

Travelling plans for us include a house sitter!

What have you done Sue? Just given a home to another specie besides your DH!!
Except that you got to potty train Lucy and make sure she gets her heartworm prevention treatment.. and oh yeah.. vets visit :D

Waving to Tubby... hey bruddah... how have you been?

Heaven

Hi ya all.....



Tubby

Betty LOL! She was thinking, "There's some dog intruding in my space so I'll just munch on this cat's food for awhile, until I am positive the intruder goes away." Cats do that, she found a hidy hole and someone's meal left out on the porch.

I never could get Tiga to wear a collar, she fought it tooth and nail until I gave in and told her if she seriously felt that way, then ok!

How sweet, Lucy! Sue you're gonna love that dog.

she has a piggy tail ! i think she has some minor health issues but she was free LOL
taking her to vet again hopefully tomorrow
i think its a bladder infection
some gunk and blood on her girly puppy parts.
pics will come soon.
Dh leaves back for china tomorrow and we are just busy with things and puppy things LOL
its darn toot'en hot in these parts
good you found your furry friend Betty

Sue-I didn't know your DH was home-I am sure that has been a fun time since I know you missed him!! Congrats on the dog-I love labs!!

Congratulations on the lab..oh what fun you'll have (or not) lol

had a medicine woman come over last night and brings meds for Sailor..Sailor (border collie) has been pulling out her hair in her haunches...yikes, looks so sore..she ended up shaving Sailor, doing her nails..this morning, just one night of this specialty salve (for humans) you can see it's healthy by 50% at least...another few days and she'll be right as rain..speaking of rain, light mist outside and calling for much the same all weekend...

OK with me as my sister and her daughter are coming up Saturday morning to do rag quilts...better if it's raining then won't feel like I'm losing good sunshine..enjoy while it's here, won't be long the white stuff will be falling..

Betty I am so happy Riley returned home. I sure wish some of our missing kitty babies would return but alas I am thinking not--been way to long. There are no outside cats to be seen in this neighborhood anymore. Does make one curious.

Sue, son has a chocolate lad--second one. Love those dogs and they are wonderful with kids. The girls can do anything with there dog.

Waving to Tubby--mornin---oops. afternoon.

Well, need to finish checking other threads then catch up on housework after 2 days of playing.

this pup is driving me crazy with her whining !!!
i think she will develope seperation anxiety ?? well if that is the case she will find a new home. I can't deal with that. sorry .
I m not a puppy person at all. Not my idea to get this puppy !! guess who's idea it was ?
well i guess i can put her in the basement .
any idea's ???
she is in her crate. and just causing a fit and whining ! grrrr.

ok after two beers and a cupcake .
pup is doing much better. she had to poop and she played with savannah so i think she is pooped out. LOL

Sue-the same rules apply with puppies as with children. They will stop whining and get used to things like the crate. It may take a couple of nights, but it will eventually happen. Glad she stopped for you-I know it would be hard to give her up since kids get attached so quickly.

Hey Stacey, glad to hear you got the quilt, are you going to post pictures?

yes-as soon as I find my stupid camera-need to do a little cleaning I think to see where I left it-I just had the stupid thing yesterday...

she seems to be doing good.
yes i guess it is the same as kids LOL
good morning

Since I just went through the puppy thing last year here are a few tips. Put a warm something in the crate with her for the first week or so. It should have your smell on it so no freshly washed stuff and be cuddly. I used an old sweatshirt on mine. Crate only at night or when you absolutely have to during the day (like when you have company). They get used to it and now all I have to say is "bedtime!" and mine goes right to to her crate. Sometimes at night she goes without me if I stay up too late.
Dogs will not go to the bathroom in their crates so when they whine they may have to go out. That small whine is how I know mine wants to go out first thing in the morning. Decide on a way it can tell you when it needs to go; some use a bell at the door, others have them stand at the door. Mine comes to me and looks serious and gives a sharp bark. I ask "do you need to got out" (saying OUT a little louder) and she goes to the door.
Lots of play with kids or other dogs makes them tired and a tired dog is a good dog so see it gets lots of play time.
Talk to the dog..lots! Let it know by your voice when you are pleased and not pleased. They learn very fast. Puppy classes somewhere if you can afford them; if not go to the library and get a book. Good socialization starts from the minute you get them and they will only be as good as you TEACH them to be (just like kids).
Hope you enjoy the dog. I agree that the first few months are the pits! I hate the housebreaking, chewing, running, etc. but it has been a year and I wouldn't be without my girl. She has turned out to be a beautiful, good girl and I love her to death.

Me too am anxious to see the pic of the quilt Stacey!!

Give Lucy time to get used to her new surroundings, Sue.
Don't give up on her. Have more beer....

OK-here are the pics

Here are the outfits, bath toys and Jonathan's first stuffed dragon from LK-I LOVE the froggie outfit!!!!

Here is the front of the crib blanket-isn't it PERFECT!!!

And here is a pic of the material used for the back:)

Glad you guys like it Tink!

Such an adorable blankie!! Aha!! LK.. you've made sure the binding's sturdy using that faggot stitch. What a great idea!
Lovely outfits and the fishies. Are they for Jonathan's bath time?
Stacey, please post them on Cubits so Debbie can see them.

Morning all!!!

Sue, have you met Sis Kathy yet. I'm certain you'll like each other.

Seems that Cookie's still too full to post anything after feastin on Michael's fried turkey!

Good morning Sunshine and Sistahs & Bruddahs all!

I promise I have nt fallen off the face of earth! lol.
I've been on the crazy side of busy again...Or at least trying in this heat, We finally got rain last night, but is still going to be HOT/HUMID.

We are heading to to the Cottage this weekend. OMG, MIL is coming for the very first time in 5 years!!
We are all very excited about this. Then if that isn't too cool, Her Sister, our Aunti Jean is coming for a night as well!!
That part is a surprise. She has never been eighther, but her daughter, Joyce comes all the time...Now, they both
haven't been up to Wisconsin since their DS passed away about 8 years ago. MIL, always said it would make her sad.
But I somehow talked her into giving it a try at least just once.... Please say a silent prayer that she has an enjoyable visit.

My kids are to be on best behavior and show them how we all work together, to get things done, etc.etc....
LOL, yeah, OKaaayyy MOM>

Anyway, Wow, Congratulations Sue!! How exciting you won at the Fair! And for the new puppy.

Janice just Love the advise for raising Lucy! OH My Your Pup is so Beautiful. Sorry I forgot her name.

Stacey, Very nice clothes and Beautiful Blankie...

OH but Wow, Can't wait to see how Sisses Cookie and Kathy's visit is going!

Well, I have got to make tracks, packing up a few plants to take, not sure if such a great idea but, All I can do is try.

I would love to share pictures with you, but a certain idiot (lol-me) Deleted over 200 photos from the Camera yesterday!!

Cookie, Happy Way belated birthday to your Mumma. And to Bill too!! Did you supply him with RC for the day, big Cheesy smile hear.

LK I love the blanket. This is the first time I have seen it and it is perfect. And here we thought that it would be hard to find things with dragons but this is just wonderful. I love the backing, too, just more simple and I like it. Jonathon is going to have so many nice things to have around him.

Beautiful....LK....nice job.

Oh Tubby...I didn't mean to leave you out! It's all fixed now!

Kathy and the Rebel left last night. He wanted to get home so he could rest a bit before he had to go back to Mississippi. :o( I tried to be a big girl and not cry when they left, but it didn't work....know what I mean, Jaye?

We were so busy gabbing and having fun that we didn't even take our cameras out until it was time for them to leave. Here is my Sissy and me...
