Caren, Lily is a Boston Terrier. James, thanks ☺Your post about mailing me a dog actually made me laugh a little...But I have 3 little Boston Terrier girls, Lily, Maddy and Raynee. It's always been the 3 girls this, the girls that ....I look down and she's not there. It will be very hard.
She's about to...#27
aww Karen, I know is hard, praying for you today, okay?

Hi, Chantell... Mirium.. Iris.. Anjil.. Louise...!!! Welcome to the Hottie Forum..where is Beck?
hi Clemmen, and Copo!
Bonnie and James... no blooms yet;(
Peg, hugs to ya!
have fun at ru!
Karen, i'm sorry to hear about your little dog. I had a horrible incedent happen with my Queensland Heeler "Buddy" back in Feb. He kept getting out of his yard. 6 foot chain link fence, he decided to try and go over the top and got hung up. I came home from work and found him, dead. I had nightmares for a week. I have his son Bucky whom has just recovered from having a Mast Cell Tumor removed. I keep a very close eye on him.
I'll keep thinking of you, Karen! Hang in there!
Karen, I am thinking positive about Lily. I think some kind soul brought her in out of the cold. I am still hoping and praying that is exactly what happened.
Hi to all of you newbies! Thanks Caren. : ) I Won! Yippee. Hi to all you seasoned Hotties. Kind of hard to check in with Amiyah running afoot. lol. I know that if I do come on, it is very hard to get off and she needs my attention more and more everyday. (Caught her doing a balancing act on her crib the other day)
Peg, I got something in the mail today!!!!! Thank you.
Well got to go check on dinner. The DH got extra hours tonight for running the after school sports kids back home, so a late dinner tonight.
And, I got to cover the tomato and peppers again tonight! boo hoo. But, this isn't supposed to last long and I have some loaded plants.
Hopefully, see you in a bit. : )

hey Sandra congrats and Glad u have tomatoe plants loaded! Me too! Hi Audrey and Cindy...everyone.. ;D
Karen I am so sad you were not able to find her, please do check in with the local vets and shelters. Someone may have dropped her off there.
Wow Kim what a flush you have coming there. Can’t to see them open, hope Mr Jack stays away for a while longer.
Chantell, we are all doomed here with our list of must haves getting longer by day. This a great place to share, it is amazing how fast your collection can grow.
Clemen your are showing off with your French, wish I could do it too.
AuntB It would be nice to have Lisa stay longer but I am trying to convince her she can go back on Tuesday. She has used up all her leave time and has already borrowed 7 day so as of next Tuesday she can not get another day off until Feb. I am getting stronger every day but I still can not do much of anything. Driving and shopping are still a ways in the future. I do think I will be alright here; Christina is on LOA and can come down and help a couple of days a week. Hope you are getting everything else ready to come. Lisa dusted all the plants in the basement with some anti fungal powder today and she did all the spraying last weekend. She also put some of the hardy hibs in the ground today.
Sandy, I guess the Mr Jack has found you, covering the veggies is not a lot of fun. I am ready for him here, actually waiting so Lisa can cut off the Canna and Dahlias. I just can’t do it if they are blooming
Welcome Cindy, I think I miss you the other day when you posted.
Waving hi to all, so good to have everyone here. I know I’m going mix up the names, let me know if I do.
Hey Beck crossed post with you, hope you had fun shopping.
Hi Deb and Audrey, and everyone it is getting harder to mention all but ya’ll know I’m so happy you are here.
Phyliss, can I get directions to that Appaloosa? Please!!!!
Newpaper is published tomorrow night and it reaches alot of people. (small town once a week paper). I still have hope....I wanted to share a couple of pictures with you, in the hopes that it will make me feel a little better....
The cutest pup in the world...
every day sweetness
Being silly
Aww Karen. She just has to be safe somewhere.
One last picture, this one is for Clemen. I had a teacup Bichon for years Clemmie, her name was Angel and she is with the angels now....I've been wanting to show you this.....
Oh that's one of my DD's Babies...
You'd sure have a big fight on your hands...
She calls him Pookers..
He's got the best manners...And Loves to give tounge baths...LOL
When they see grandma coming they run to see me cause I usually have treats for them..
She was teaching them tricks they bow and pick up their ball and give it to ya..and shake their heads yes and no.(of course they expect a trat afterwards,,,LOL) up until a year ago when they started building and she got pregnant..
We are just getting intermitent spots of the Jack coming to town. So far I have been lucky. I am not covering em up tonight cause it will stay in the 40's but tomorrow night may get as low as 36. Might just pick off everything.
Karen, you will find Lily. With a face like that, someone has opened up their home to her.
Karen I never ever want to be in your shoes with the "children". You know what I mean, they are kids to us.
Hey Ms. Donna, you have way too many energies lately, i love it, keep it going going baby! Like energizer
Where is The French lady, I welcome you and we are the foreigners here! Hello, come back.
I guess we are getting to be quite a big group, maybe we should start a sticky on top that tells our names and screen names???????????? I am getting so lost, anyone up for it???
You are killing me Karen!
Good idea Clem. : )
Karen, I will keep Lily in my prayers. We love our babies and when we lose one for whatever the reason, it leaves a big hole in our hearts. The one blessing for me has always been to have another sweet baby there to give me kisses and hugs. I had a Lab that could really hug. My heart still hurts over him and he's been dead for 2 1/2 years. But I have two chihuahuas that keep me busy. I do pray that she is with someone and she is getting the care she needs. You know some dogs scream when they get really scared. It's possible that she got very scared with a close call and just took off without thinking about where she was going. I hope that is the case and like I said, someone may have her. Love, Jeanne
Sandra we need a guinea pig to start this, I wish i could do it but have no time. mind you tuesday evenings, when i have time to chat, hooties are quiet, until midnight hits and another crowd comes in and by then i am in cloud 9.
I wanted to tell you all that out of all my cuttings I had about 5 die. They were all soft, flexible green cuttings. They rotted in the water and turned to mushy spinach...The 2 that didn't rot in the water turned to mush in the Orchid Moss. All of my hardwood cuttings have sprouted leaves and are thriving.
When I was at Ken and Maggi's house last weekend Maggi mentioned that you couldn't root green cuttings. I'd never heard that before. I guess some are successful with it but it seems much, much harder.
Miriam, it's so good to have you here! My first husband was from Denison and I know it well. I believe his mother still lives there. I spent many holidays there.
Karen I getting here late and haven't read all the posts, but I pray that you have your baby and all is well. My heart hurts for you. I'm going back now to read more and I do hope you have posted good news.

If you're going to try green cuttings you'd have better luck in the Spring. It's easier to root almost everything once the days start getting longer. That's their natural time to grow or root. Unfortunately, it's the fall when so many cut back on their plants if they have to bring them in, so that's when most cuttings are available. If you root one in four you're doing well.
Mary
(((Karen)))...I know you don't know me (yet)...but from one animal lover to another - my heart goes out to you!! Prayer for your comfort and guidance to find your precious pup!!
Louise - mercy...thank you so much for the generous offer - I'll be sure to send you off a dmail!!
Man OH Man.... chatty cathies..LOL
Karen... I also have had many green cuttings to turn to mush, but have had a lil success with sticking them into soil and forgoing the water rooting technique. GLAD to see you here!! We'll try to help you keep your mind off things at home.. and maybe we can tickle your funnybone just a lil... love you girl!! Cute bijon pic, and of course Lily is adorable!
LOL Donna we did cross post.. how are you doing??
Sandra sooo glad to see you coming back home.. and hope things are going better for you!!
Clemie.. I feel it in the air..lol... I think you are itching to start trouble..lol
Jeanne... have you gotten all your goodies planted, or potted??
faye.. how's it going for you and DH??
Oh Chantall, that picture makes me feel good! Such lovely, strong healthy dog babies! Thank you for your kindness dear, and welcome!
so you follow trouble, lol, you know who u r
Karen girl I want to hear good news!
hehe, Clemen you are our number 1 troublemaker with a capital T, LOL!
no news yet dear. No sign of her, but a big ad comes out in tomorrow's paper with her picture
So far my cuttings are doing good. I repotted them in miracle grow potting soil with root stimulant and put into a zip lock. Now the bags are open. Tomorrow I will take them out of the bags.They already have new leaf buds on them. I have had a 50-50 success rate with my surfinias. They were herbaceus stem cuttings. I'm so new at this. I am having fun learning though.
So sorry baby, i only wish i could tell you that she made it all the way to NY and I have here next to Copo and you can come and pick her up and then i could meet you in person, I'll keep my prayers going!
mama hen's don't squawk...hehe... you know who you are!!
Sounds good tx lady!
Yep, everything is potted Karen. In the spring they will find their new homes. It's a good thing I have all winter to plan my landscape. I've also discovered morning glories. Will the madness ever end?
Hey mama hen capital t is you not me Karen, loL, so lets dare again
I'm Trouble with a capital T...
