Re: The Chat Lounge

I'll have to ask the Steward! Lol apparently there is a renaissance fair this weekend, maybe I'd get some orders.

Milo will be 7 weeks old.  He's 6 wks tomorrow and Tank is 5 tomorrow! He acts like he's 6 wks old when it's walks time, leaping and spinning he just loves them.  Although I've had to cut them a little short lately as it's just too muggy for him to go on a long one.  Even first thing in the morning.  Tomorrow it's supposed to be 30C and the next day 23c, up and down. Air on one day, heat the next.  Very strange the last few weeks.

I'm not sure Triifledore stocks the necessary materials to make Greg some new chain mail, though silver with a large blue G would look quite nice on him.

Re: The Chat Lounge

I've always gotten my animals at 6 weeks and I would not wait another minute to go bring that cutie home.  His paws are huge, do you remember if Tank and Winston's were that big at that age?  I can't imagine having a big dog since I've lived in RVs the last 35 years.  I'm missing my Snoop Dog soooo much.  I'm missing half his life, and they don't live that long and I don't want to miss a minute.  I've been getting pretty weepy lately.


No matter how much I complain, I'm grateful for all I have.

Re: The Chat Lounge

Even if the breeder wanted me to take him this week I'd ask him to hold on to him until next Saturday.  It works out perfectly.  My bathroom reno starts Monday and should be done Friday. There'd be a little too much going on.

sorry you're missing your pups.

Here are some recent pictures of Baxter and Bailey ~ five months old, chewing on anything and everything.

Re: The Chat Lounge

We have had so much rain this month that the states of Oklahoma and Texas are waterlogged.  Feel so sorry for the people in the Houston/San Antonio/Austin area as there has been massive flooding and loss of life.  My back yard is so waterlogged that there is no way I can let the dogs back there to run so front yard it is.  Bailey is real good about doing his business right away but Baxter just wants to nose around for worms and bark at anything and everything.  He was spooked the other day by some roofers across the street and now he barks at everything.  They both think it's fun to run around with worms in their mouths, chew a little, drop and roll around in them.  They have already had a couple of baths and stink to high heaven.  So ready for some sun and dry weather.

My son would die if he knew I was posting this but need to ask for some prayers for him. He has been staying with me since two days before my mom passed due to having a seizure while driving, crossing 4 lanes of highway and luckily didn't hurt himself or anyone else.  He has struggled with alcohol issues for almost 20 yrs (my dad was an alcoholic) and when times get rough, he relapses.  I've reached a breaking point in my support and after witnessing another seizure which sent him to the hospital, I decided he needed to go in for rehab for a month (he already went in 2007 and did fine for quite a while).  I took him last Thursday and hoping he makes it this time.  His company closed last April, and as a result, he can take advantage of a trade assistance grant and applied to a local Technical school.  Just got a letter last Saturday that he was approved for the session he wanted which starts in August for 9 months.  I told him on the phone last night that if this isn't enough incentive to turn his life around, I don't know what would be.  I love him dearly and we have similar natures so having him here has worked out ok, for the most part, but I'm weary from the last five years of taking care of my folks and him with his issues.  I'm going to start going to Al-Anon and he will have to go to AA or I won't allow him to stay with me.  He says he just drinks for maintenance now but his body is starting to have problems as a result ~ they are struggling right now with his BP being very high and it kills me to watch him go though this.  I think about my Bible verse all the time but it is so hard some times to let go of the anxiety.

Re: The Chat Lounge

Teeitup...I hope your son can pull himself out of his problem and do well in rehab.  I hope the meetings for you give you some comfort. 

No one close to me has ever had this problem, so don't know too much what to say except I am sending you both postive energy and well wishes.

Thanks for the puppy pics.  How cute they are and Bailey sure looks mischievious.

Re: The Chat Lounge

I tried making homemade bubble bath which turned out to be a bust.  I must have hard water for castile soap & glycerin make bubbles in soft water. 

For my next experiment I will try making melt & pour soaps.  I was at Michaels and saw a kit for $5.99 clearance price and thought that it might be fun.  Also, while I was there I bought a book of melt & pour soap recipes to try out. 

Also,  I will try making bath bombs.  I bought my molds this morning and just needed to wait until they are shipped to me. 

I bought lavender essential oil for my bubble bath recipe, but it won't let it go to waste.  I'll just use it in my soaps and/or bath bombs.  Essential oils are so expensive. Vanilla was $25 bucks!   I wonder how good the cheaper stuff smells.
