Such amazingly athletic dogs wow :eek: everytime I see videos of these guys I'm so amazed. Watched plenty of trick videos of them too. It's incredible what they can do. Although I must say that the fourth clip around 38 seconds just seems really stupid amd dangerous and just like untrained dogs? Although they are wearing muzzles (which they sometimes use to build confidence/teach them how to "fight" without being able to bite) and on long lines but he doesn't appear to be wearing a suit or headgear or anything... and there are three dogs. If it IS supposed to be some sort of training exercise, it is a stupid and dangerous one and quite frankly, I don't think he knows what he's doing lol I may be wrong. Maybe someone who knows more about it can tell me. I also don't think the one with them running straight towards the kids is very smart, even if he's protecting them, and the puppy in the last clip seems kind of aggressive?, but besides that, it's a cool video and wow are they athletic lol they are wayyyyt too much dog for me to handle though and are always "on", no off switch, so I wouldn't get one now or ever. Except maybe way way in the future when I have more land and time to devote to them. Anyway, soo athletic lol

There’s our Sean! We were worried!!! You were probably just hours away from a Bruce phone call.....I would have had no problem siccing him after you to find out what's going on. Hope you’re now “over the weather”. (Katie euphemism - she figured that if “under the weather” means “sick” then it stands to reason you’d be “over the weather” when you’re feeling better - 6 year old logic.)

Jae, you live in a paradise!! Love all your photos, and that perky little Fantail made me grin!!

@sharron - no offense to your bil, but the only good thing I can say about Mississippi is that the same rads that led in, led out! Only place I’ve ever lived where I sat at a stoplight, laid my head on the steering wheel and cried because I was so miserably hot! My show dogs blew coat and it never fully came back until we moved up to South Dakota. They didn’t need that much coat living down there. And the smell of the pogie and paper plants on a 100+ degree day with 90% humidity is the stuff of nightmares! Giant cockroaches so big you could see their antennae before you saw them when they appeared over the edge of a cabinet, fiddler crabs scurrying across the living room floor, Kamakazi mockingbirds divebombing us when we’d go outside. I know every place has its pluses and minuses, and there were things we enjoyed.....waking Kenny up at midnight to go to the Biloxi Pier to do some shrimping, seeing a thunderstorm roll in over the Gulf.....but not enough to negate being so uncomfortable. I learned the language pretty well. Can’t speak it but did get to the point where I could understand it. And every sentence is a question. “We decided to go to the beach? So we packed up some sodas and a blanket? Then we stopped by Cetus Earl’s place and carried him to the beach with us?” Glad hubby is feeling better. Ride herd on him, though. Men never seem to realize that taking it easy isn’t a crime against nature!

I’m so glad that I’m not the only one with more fabric sensitivities than food allergies! My derm says it’s because my skin is exceptionally dry so the skin cells don’t lay flat. It’s caused by my Sjogren’s Syndrome so we know what it is. Not a soap on the market that I haven’t tried or a lotion either. It just is what it is. The dry mouth is treated with Biotene, the dry eyes with Retayne, but the skin has defeated us so far. I just got a bar of Sally Sunshine’s goat milk soap, so I’m anxious to try it when it comes. I tried the olive oil soap. It did exactly as I expected....left me feeling dirty and greasy, like a badly dressed salad. We keep an eye out for signs of Sjogren’s in my connective tissues and joints, but so far it seems to just be symptomatic in a couple of places. Sure makes me picky about what touches my skin, though!

Debby, you need to make a trip to Cabela’s! I buy my flannel lined jeans there. Come on up and I’ll take ya with me!

Ah, Christmas! We’ll spend Christmas Eve at Tammy’s new house. You should see how beautifully decorated she has it! It’ll just be Ken and me, Kenny, Jenny, Katie, Kendra, Evan and Tam. That is, unless Little Diane and Pete decide to join us again. I usually decorate to the rafters, but not this year. I don’t trust Fee with a Christmas tree in this little house! It takes forever for a signal in her brain to reach the rest of her. Her brain says, “Stand up.” Then that rattles around in there for a few minutes while the signal strengthens. After that her front legs start moving so they can prepare to change positions. That signal, however, takes forever to reach her back end. Finally everything is properly warned of the change and, in slo mo, she begins to stand up. But her tail.....poor girl never knows what to do with that. She is the epitome of clumsy in a giant package. I’ll try to get it on video....it’s hilarious! The thought of putting up a tree and trying to deal with her clumsiness at the same time is intimidating! :lau

Christmas Day everyone comes over here for “Pie Day”. Funny how important that relatively new tradition has become to everyone. We just love it!

well blooie, i said thats where he was born and raised, he moved to ft.walton after he got out of the service, he was a nice person, loved my sister and treated her good but to be honest, he wasn't my type of person but my sissy loved him

Think I need a dog with less enthusiasm, or a pup without all the ferocity. Gee on TV show "Person of Interest," "Bear" was much more subdued.

Me too lol way too much dog for me. Was thinking Golden or Aussie for next dog but now I kind of think Poodles are cool too (always have but been researching more) so it will likely be one of those three or a Havanese. But now I'm not sure I want even a Golden or an Aussie. Idk. They're kind of big and so much coat. I thought I liked big dogs but I think I need more of a small/medium size dog and less coat. And yeah, he did seem very subdued! Lol but tbh, that entire thing was probably work to him. He did lay down and seem to "chill" but in his mind, that was a command he was obeying, he was likely told down and stay, and he was so focused on obeying he was working the whole time he was on set lol always focused on the next command. Plus they used several dog actors to portray Bear so some likely were more chill than others. They could have been show line instead of working line too, maybe? Could explain the slightly lesser drive. The first Bear seemed really bulky and not that agile.

A lady from the next block came by once with the most darling little bull dog pup. I could not get over how friendly and energetic it was. I always thought slow & plodding. I was wrong. Hope the dog works out for you sharron. You can never have too many dogs.
