    Funny thing happened when DH and I were trying to fix an outdoor faucet. A hose with a big hole was connected - it is the old style faucet kind and we sprayed it with wd40 and cranked it on and off - well water was spraying out the hose and was driving Dozer Crazy - here is a series of pictures - hopefully in order.

    Also I have a video of him that shows how he does his head-shake. He is also doing his fetch the frisbee with DH - https://www.facebook.com/esther.foley.5

    Is it possible to have comfort cats? Both of mine seem a little oblivious to my needs. But nothing is more relaxing than watching them sleep.

    Confirmed Stella did tear completely her ACL......surgery will be scheduled sometime today after another MRI is done........Phew, my poor daughter can't get a break with Stella......Seizures, torn ACL's, and the breeder says "My dogs are healthy".......no way possible...........I don't care what she says..........

    It seems odd that after she found out about. Stella and all the problems she has......the bitch retired the Stud they were using..............like this was the first incident........and this dog was not cheap......$2,500......she jumped from the sofa cushion to the floor, that was it...........Sad thing is my daughter and son-in-law researched the breed, and the breeder......until it was ridiculous...........and still has a problem.

    Ducky, that is so sad about Stella. It really does make you wonder about the breeder,,, wondering if Stella's littermates have had similar issues.


    Meow: that is a great pic of your cat with the remote!

    We once had a Siberian Husky who would sometimes sleep with his eyes open. There were countless times we couldn't determine if his chest was moving under all that fur and we would be thinking "Oh no, he's really dead this time!" We would then nudge him awake and he would grumpily complain that his humans were stupid. Poor dog!

    OUCH!!! It is so difficult to see our furry friends hurting. I'm glad they were able to fix her up enough to have her up and moving already. She's a real trooper!!

    I hope she gets better quickly

    my 15 year old doggy is having some issues :(. You know, you hope they feel better soon, but I also know her days are numbered at this age. Sad to see them not feeling well. She had an infected anal gland that absessed and came out of her butt bleeding. Rushed her to vet and he lanced it. Looks a lot better, but I fear there is something else going on inside that might have caused this. Only time will tell. Right now she is resting next to me. Not eating so well right now either. Lots of cuddle time

    This is one of my comforters! Her name is Stormaggedin! Storm for short. She thinks I'm the best bed in the world! Snapped this shot with her lying on me in bed! Hard to resist that sort of hug! image
