TOD:

First pet... I had a Daschund-mix named Susie. She was quite the character and had brown, black and grey in her fur. I also had a brown tabby cat named Mitzy. My grandparents had two German Shepherds and a rat terrier I liked to play with named Spud, Duke and Skipper. Skipper was the Rat Terrier and he was a character but a lover. Sweet dog.

Over the years I have had a Poodle-Schnauzer cross named Buff, Yellow Lab named Sam (he was also my dad's hunting dog) and numerous cats over the years including three Siamese named Chang, Snoopy and Smokey and a rescue Norwegian Forest cat named Ace. Ace's only bad habit was attacking people wearing white socks. You were fine if you were wearing slippers or shoes but if you were not wear shoes, he would attack people.

Snoopy and my sister's cat Bailey liked to take off with socks and hide them...

The pond & plantings. We are still waiting for the Weeping Birch Tree to be trimmed so we can see more of the white bark.

What a perfect place to sit and ponder over a cup of tea...

Makes it harder to know if it isn't just a coincidence.

Sounds like a good idea.

Skipper, my grandparent's rat terrier, used to pound his paw on your foot until you gave him a treat.

WE also always had parakeets and cockatiels

Mikey the cockatiel liked to tease the dogs. Oddly the dogs never retaliated against Mikey... They just would glare at him and move on to tormenting the Siamese cats.

AT one point we had two dogs, two cats, three parakeets, a cockatiel and my sisters had hamsters also... It was a regular menagerie

Mikey liked to mimic the dogs drinking water and the microwave...

Great photo, Jane. (The first one. For some reason, the second didn't load for me.)

Reuben Casserole is in the oven. Smells great.

I think my first pet was our first silver Toy Miniature Poodle named Pepi. I had a nice time at my cousin's birthday party only to return home to my mother & sister hysterical. It was awhile before anyone told me when the front door was opened to leave to pick me up Pepi escaped and was hit by the neighbor's car while running across the street.

The neighbor was teaching his girlfriend how to drive. My parent's felt terrible for her and were very nice about it. It wasn't her fault. I have no idea if my mother kept her control until after the neighbor's left. Know her I expect though. My sister on the other hand .

When we got our second silver Toy Miniature Poodle, Scampi, we took the cute little black pup over to meet the neighbor along when his girlfriend was there.

At first, it didn't show for me, either. The first one, yes, but not the second one. To be able to see it, I quoted your message and took out your resizing code and then it worked for me. But now, it does show.

Jane · « **Reply #108 on:** October 22, 2012, 05:30:08 PM »

I thought I copied them both the same way. LOL I wouldn't know that was the resizing code without being told.

Just came from a board meeting at which I felt like several of the others were p****d at me for various reasons. I'm about to tell them to do their own website and Facebook page...

Interesting. I remember Cillaliz posted some pictures where she used the code to resize, but I don't remember anyone posting exactly how to do it. I just copied what she did and it worked.

Just had a long telephonic conversation with Robert A Harris - we spoke of many things.

Ginny, I wish I could offer you some Reuben casserole to make you forget those women.

Tonight, I've got the VAI TV version of "Kiss Me, Kate" with Alfred Drake and Patricia Morison. It's only 75 minutes or so, but it's really fun. Julie Wilson, Jack Klugman and Bill Hayes in the supporting cast.

DakotaCelt · « **Reply #118 on:** October 22, 2012, 05:52:01 PM »

The thing about animals... they know how to steal your heartstrings..

I hope to have a dog someday again. I live in an apartment building that does not allow pets.

Growing up, we always had cats. We only had dogs twice. The first time was before I was born, so that doesn't count. The second time, I was in high school and for some reason, my parents got me a puppy...some kind of black lab mix (I think). I named him Muppet. He was a cute puppy, but we had no idea what to do with dogs or how to train them. He would chew on anything...my parents' grandfather clock and their marble coffee table (both from Germany) got the worst of it. We only had him a few months before they made the wise decision to give him away to someone they knew who could take care of him. They had some friends who were able to take him. I've never had a dog since.
