I'd like to add my best wishes to Cynthia12. Happy birthday.

I'm trying, but it's not easy. DH told me yesterday I'm the 2nd worse patient (he's the 1st). I just want to do stuff myself. He's more than willing to do things for me (and has been great), but it's hard for me to ask for help.

Get over that, I did. You can break bones doing too much yourself. I get the feed people to lift the bags onto the cart, and take them to checkout. Then they load the bags into my truck. I wish my hubby had less back issues. His back is painful all the time.

i have to rant a little
husband has had a schipperke for at least 10 yrs, he knows a loose schipperke is a gone schipperke (their nose leads them away and they usually don't come back) anyway he knows to shut the door when he goes outside well he knows that but does he do it? heck no, so now bud is out and gone for the third time this month, have to drop everything and try to find that dang dog, gonna beat him no not the dog, husband

Oh no, I hope you find him! I need to work on recall with my pup. Sometimes she comes back, and sometimes she just wanders along. I don't think she has been off our property though.

found him debby, husband took the car and i stood on porch hollering for him he finally came from up on the hill toward the neighbors then i had to stand outside in the driveway til husband came past going toward the other hill and flag him down, MEN you would think he would learn and believe me people would run over bud in a heartbeat is he didn't stay off the road

Phew!

No snow. Ground isn't even frozen. Temps supposed to reach the low 40's today, no wind - it's a good day. Slow starting today as last night we had a b'day celebration for our daughter. Princess and I were supposed to go to Lancaster, Pa today, but apparently we are getting too old for 'activity' two days in a row. We'll go tomorrow.

Happy birthday to your daughter!

One of those tiny poodles, or a standard? My husband had a friend he went hunting with. The guys wife got a standard poodle and it was a hunting dog right along with the Labs.

He was a miniature. Accidental result of a brother/sister mating, and he was truly deranged. He would self mutilate, chew on clothing (pants legs were his specialty), and disliked any interaction between the Princess and me - the only one of our dogs that had ever bitten me.

OMG he sounds awful!! Lol though I kinda feel bad for the poor little thing... probably had something going on neurologically.

Believe it or not, poodles were actually originally bred as retrievers!! They are very athletic dogs!! And that stupid haircut was meant to protect vital organs in the cold water! People always think they’re such frou frou dogs and I used to too but they’re actually very athletic, awesome dogs. At least the standards. Don’t know about the other sizes.

Glood morning, Chat Folks - you sure are a chatty group this morning.

@sharron glad that you found him.



Neutral or overdrive, but the overdrive is slipping.



Over the 55 + years we've had 6 'house' dogs. Most were 'family' dogs. The German shepherd was mine, and the despicable poodle was the Princess's. The beagles love anyone who will feed or run them.

morning sour
thanks
before typing guess i need to make sure fingers are on the right keys

Crazy! We had a Jack Russel we think might have been from a similar situation. He bit everyone but me although I wasn't his only person. He adored my husband.
