I understand I had my Belgians for 25 years it has been very difficult
to bond to another after the loss of my last boy... I think finally with the
new little pyr pup Snow I am bonding

Thanks all. I will get another dog or two, but it's too close to the move right now to do it. Once I get re-settled in my new place, then it will be time to start looking. I've already got a connection for some goats lined up, and Mel needs to get started doing the job intended for him. Hopefully I'll be able to find a good LGD pup from working parents, or a rescue with a working background that I can save/adopt. Ideally I'd love another pyr/toli mix, female, but she needs to be a patroller as Mel is a watcher. And if they both work out to be excellent LGD's then maybe there will be puppies in my future as well. Then I'll see about getting one or two "farm dogs" to watch over the yard while the LGD's watch over the herds and flocks.

Hope BYC hasn't had a return of the "double -or triple" posting epidemic it had a month or so again. The submit button was going nuts.

They were doing site upgrades this morning when I got up, Maybe they have a few bugs that still need kicked out.

Just because I wrote that - the submit button has been going screwy. It has double posted for me a few times and I have go back and delete them.

You sure didn't have problems like that with a typewriter- my son (30) doesn't know what one is.

We used a typewriter in our office to type labels for charts and the like. More than once I had parents ask if they could bring their child back to my office and show them the typewriter. I always let the kids sit down and type something to keep on a piece of paper and gave it to them. Those young people were just amazed by it.

When we retired DH was going to sell the typewriter. I said no way! That was the one thing from my office that I wasn't going to part with.

And to think I learned to type on an IBM Selectric in 1972 and it was state of the art at the time.

Thanks everyone!

I learned to type on an old manual Royal, then an IBM Selectric. Later on, when they introduced the Correcting Selectric, with the correction tape, I got one of those. I think I gave it to a cousin of mine, after I got a computer, and printer. Not only don't most kids today know what a typewriter was, but they know nothing about a dot matrix printer, a floppy disc, or a rotary phone.
