How come all the cute baby clothes are for boys? The girls clothes make me want to puke!. The boys clothes have cute puppy dogs, like huskies on them, and even guitars and skulls. But the girls clothes are all cheap looking pink with little flowers. I can't believe people prefer the girls clothing. I'm so sick of the brown and pink mix outfits. We do not just wear pink, so why does our baby girl have to?. Please tell me where I can find unique or even vintage type clothing. Birdflip, you crack me up, I can't stop laughing at your answer. The guitar and skull stuff is at BabysRus. I just about died when I saw them, so freakin cute!!!. yeah pink makes me gag for a baby to wear it, but I like to wear it. ?.

Would getting a little puppy fill my baby void? So I post on here all the time about how much I want a baby and everytime I am met with the same responses about being immature etc etc... Which is wrong but whatever... Having a baby would be rough right now I'll admit because I am actually considering graduating and going to law school, anyways I was thinking what if I get a puppy like a little baby yorkie because they stay small and cute and I'll love it and buy it everything just like I would do with my baby. Only thing is I Don't know if I wanna be responsible for a dog... I know "if you can't take care of a dog what makes you think you can handle a baby?!" well babies are human and dogs aren't and babies are cute and funny but dogs aren't like funny just cute sometimes. And idk my mom is not gonna go for me bringing a dog in her home especially since she will probably end up cleaning up after it lol. A baby is like physically mine, like they came out of my body so I would love it more than a dog.... Lol idk I mean it would be cool to have one

What are some cute dogs and their names? I am asking my mom for a puppy this year, and i want a baby. I dont really want a chihuaha i just want something cute that stays little.?!

Which is cuter: puppy or baby? I dont' like kids. I've had one too many bad experiences with them. I refuse to ever have any of my own. On the other hand, I am a complete dog lover. I currently have a golden retriever puppy who is 3 months old. Since he was little I have gotten so many compliments on him. I am convinced that puppies are truly way cuter than babies. I mean....what could be more cuter than watching a fluffy ball of fur flop around chasing a squeaky toy? Nothing. What is your opinion on this?

is a cute little puppy a girl magnet? my dog is only 7 months old and still very little and furry, he is incredibly cute, so cute i just cant say no to him, EVER! But i was walking him at the beach one day and all these people my dog was running towards just kept saying he was cute and stuff, then this girl around my age, pretty cute just came up and started petting my dog, and was making baby sounds. So really, can you really get a girlfriend this way? i dont for some reason lol

Little Puppy from china to austria possible? Hey i often go to china during vacation with my mum to visit my family. they have the cutest dogs there. my grandparents have a 6 years old dog. and he is like the cutest dog i ever saw. i wished he would make some little puppies for me and today on my birthday my wish came true. 5 healthy baby dogs where born. i thought of bringing one of them back home. but the problem is we have to travel a whole day till austria. the airlines we are flying with is emirates. since i have no expirience in such things can you tell me how i bring a little puppy to austria? are they any rules? do i have to make him a passport? can he be in the passenger section? ( he weights under 6 kilo) does it cost much? please tell me what i have to do when i bring a puppy from china to austria i dont fly from china directly to austria first from china > dubai then dubai > austria flying with emirates btw

Does anyone else think that Vladimir Khoslov has the cutest baby face? Yesterday when he was with bigshow he looked like a little kid with his big cute eyes looking like a puppy dog at his big daddy.

Can dogs really understand words? This may seem a little bit of an odd, even offensive story to some people but please, bear with me here as I have a point to make: I have a cousin who's studying Veterinary Medicine and is currently conducting an experiment for a thesis he's trying to complete with his new puppy. You know how people praise dogs when playing with or training them? Well, my cousin also do that but instead of sweet sugary words like "Good boy!", "Excellent!", or "Who's the cute little puppy?", he uses swear words like "you son of a b*tch", "come here, you sick b@stard", or "you idiotic puppy". But he also uses that same singsong tone people use when talking to a cute baby or puppy. The puppy he's doing the experiment with, surprisingly, is now amazingly well-behaved and excellently trained. Which got me thinking - If my cousin keeps talking like that to a dog, doesn't that mean that a dog doesn't really understand the meaning of words but rather it depends on how the owner speaks those words? It doesn't matter if you use any type of language but if you use the same encouraging and good-natured tone, it'll produce the same effect as with the recognized language norm in training. What do you think? Thoughts?

Baby vs puppy...which is cuter? I dont' like kids. I've had one too many bad experiences with them. They are irritating and cry when they don't get their way. I refuse to ever have any of my own. On the other hand, I am a complete dog lover. I currently have a golden retriever puppy who is 3 months old. Since he was little I have gotten so many compliments on him. I am convinced that puppies are truly way cuter than babies. I mean....what could be more cuter than watching a fluffy ball of fur flop around chasing a squeaky toy? Nothing. And to help you out...

Should I get puppy or older dog? I want to get a puppy or a dog, and I found a 9 month old dog that's already crate trained and with its shots. There are also 7 week old puppies available though, not already trained. I've never had a cute little baby puppy before, but I know training them can be hard and I live in an apartment so don't want to make too much of a mess. Any thoughts?

Cute puppy names!?!?!? I just got the cutesy little pure black toy poodle my friends dog had babies and it's just so cute and awwwww :) I love love love her so muchhhh!!! Does anyone have any nice names for my lil puppy ? :) I was thinking of something with an 'i' at the end, like Keri or Brandi, or something like that.. I know a lot of people might not be a fan of my preferences but it's kind of what I, the owner of this puppy, want. Thank you soo much I am so happy with this little cutie! :)

Do you know of any poems of stories or letters, etc. telling the story of shelter dogs? I have seen several of them, each one sadder than the one before it. I would really like to know of any that you have seen or heard of as maybe there are ones out there that I haven't read yet. Thanks! Oh and here's one that I read most recently: Hello, you have reached 1-800-753-1234, Tender Hearts Rescue.

Press 28 if your two year old male dog is marking all over your house but you just haven't gotten around to having him neutered. Press 29 if you previously had an outdoor only dog and are calling because she is suddenly pregnant. Press 30 if you have done "everything" to housebreak your dog and have had no success but you don't want to crate the dog because it is cruel. Press 31 if you didn't listen to the message asking for an evening phone number and you left your work number when all volunteers are also working and you are angry because no one called you back. Press 32 if you need a puppy immediately and cannot wait because today is your daughter's birthday and you forgot when she was born. Press 33 if your dog's coat doesn't match your new furniture and you need a different color or breed.

Press 35 if you went through all t Press 35 if you went through all these 'options' and didn't hear enough. This press will connect you to the sounds of tears being shed by one of our volunteers who is holding a discarded old dog while the vet mercifully frees him from the grief of missing his family. ~Author Unknown

Are there clothing brands that make toddlers look like babies, not adults? My son is 18 months old and started to go into 24 months/2T. Ive noticed that everything looks "adult" will skulls and monster trucks on it. Our society makes kids grow up so fast. Are there any clothing lines that look like little kids. What happen to the cute puppy dogs and such for 2 years olds. I would love to find jon jons, rompers, etc.

Why don't I have motherly instincts with kids but I do with dogs? My whole life ever since I was a little girl I have LOVED animals. Especially dogs. Recently as I'm getting older I've realized I'm not really a kid person. When someone brings their baby to work I never want to hold it...but if it were a dog I'd fight to play with it and pet it. Kids don't even amaze me, sure I think they are cute but dogs pull at my heart. I've heard tons of women go crazy over babies and kids saying "I want one" but I only do that with puppies or dogs. People say there is nothing like having children and it's such a great experience but I don't feel that way. I think there is nothing better then the love of an animal especially a dog. To me that's rewarding. So I was wondering if anyone else feels this same way? Is there something wrong with me?

Where can I find a puppy in Missouri? I want a young puppy. I live in Rich Hill, MO. About an hour south of Kansas City. I'm willing to drive to cities close by. I would love a free puppy, but am willing to pay anything under $300. Anyone with an unwanted puppy please let me know. I'm not interested in breeding, just a cute little lap dog to be my baby. I know about the pound and humane society....I was looking for someone that has a puppy they want to get rid of.

Please help with my baby puppy!!!? Oh so i recently bAUGHT the most cutest pitbull for 200 dollars from a back yard breeder ,wen i got him, he was a little underweight, so i thought hey, maybe becuz he wasnt the strongest of all, i noticed his appetite was not a normal one, he'd barely eat, keep in mind he's 6 weeks and weighs 3.02 kb. So on the third day poor baby threw up a hook worm, so i immedietly took him to the clinic, he got dewormed, they said he was so infested that the worms were sucking his blood, making him amneic, hypothermic, low temp(97.4) and diagnosed him with commidia, he then got a blood/ transfusion, and 2 liquid trans. now, he barely eats, so i went to the vet, and got him rebouund, and iuse a sorenge both solutions for his food/water. he also takes 2 medications to help with diarea, and vommiting, as well as a medicine for vitamins, he wont eat anything, no dog food, turkey, baby food, ground beef, nothing, so im forced to forcefeed him to keeep him alive, any help!?!? his temp is now 99.4!!

how to care for such a baby puppy? Well my fiance and I were walking into wal mart yesterday morning to get some stuff, and there was a guy with a sign that said "Christmas puppies for sale" so of course I stop to look... he had a cart full of 8 tan and white puppies that can't be older than 5 weeks old even though he said 8 weeks. i went inside to do my shopping and when I came back out he was down to 5... of course I took one. the puppy is adorable, he eats dry puppy chow fine, but cries A LOT.. I just gave him a bowl of warm milk and he lapped it up vigorously and is now sound asleep doing the little puppy grunting. he walks, but wobbles as he wags his little tail. The guy said he is a lab mix, but he looks like a pit puppy to me.. at least 80 percent pit. I gave the guy $25 for him, he had 4 others when i left, i wish i could have taken them All. I am hoping they all got good homes, when i took mine, there was a crowd of about 20 people around him and the cart. This guy was a scum bag ghetto thug just wanting money.. i couldn't walk away without helping 1 of them.. he had them in a shopping cart with a blanket in with them... they were all huddled up together and kids/adults were poking and prodding at them, grabbing them up and putting them down like they were stuffed animals on a display shelf. SO, I do not have the money to go and buy this puppy the puppy milk and bottles. I am caring for 5 other dogs and 5 cats. I just have a huge heart and couldn't leave wal mart yesterday without helping at least 1 of these puppies. What should I do??.. he seems to be doing ok.. he sleeps/eats/plays/poops/and pees just fine. I have him in a puppy bed which is inside a rectangular laundry basket with a big stuffed teddy bear,a heating pad on low, and a blanket. He slept in it last night all night and got up at 5am to eat/potty. am i doing ok??.. I am wanting to keep him as does my fiance.. he is a little fighter and just the cutest thing. Here is a photo of him.. http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y42/MarineWifey19/puppy1-1.jpg thanks. and for everyone telling me to give him to a shelter or rescue, no i will not. He is better off with me than in a kennel all day where he could wind up dead. I am home all day everyday and he will be with me at all times, i have a lot of time on my hands to care for him. Animal hoarder?? I think not, but nice try. Animal hoarders DO NOT take care of their pets and live in squaler conditions. I DID live in an RV but as i stated then, it was TEMPORAIRY. I am now in a huge 4 bedroom home with basement, and HUGE fenced in backyard.. so shush! I also have cash in my wallet, and 2 credit/bank cards as well if you MUST know. I have christmas shopping to do for a family of 7! also more pets to care for!.. I will PROBABLY go ahead and buy the puppy milk replacer since he seems to need it and i do know that cows milk isn't the greatest, but in a pinch its NOT going to KILL him to have a couple bowls of it. A lot of you are dense and down right RUDE and think you are much wiser and better than everyone else...NEWSFLASH: You aren't and you definetly aren't perfect or gods gift to the animal world.

Do you have an unusual endearing nickname for your baby? I didn't find anything wrong with "blob" by Angelina Jolie, aren'te they a little blobby in a cute way? Our baby goes by Pancake, but it's shortened to Cake or Cakey when I email people. In Chinese, we have so many food items to refer to our babies, just like "my little muffin" or "my little cookie". We also freely call him Little Ugly in Chinese, it is NOT degrading or psychologically damaging in our culture (on the other hand, calling your own baby Little Beauty would be considered a little conceited). Then Little Puppy because he is born in Year of Dog. (My other son is Little Piggy). All these are said in Chinese.

If everything is going perfectly, why is he acting like this? Me and my boyfriend have been dating for a little over a month. hes 20 im 18. and when i say it has been story book perfect i mean it. hes been literallly the best boyfriend. I care about him so much for it not being so long! last weekend i went with him to his cabin and it went sooo perfectly! like almost too perfectly we couldnt go five seconds without being with each other. then when we went to sleep he ended up asking me if he thinks ill ever love him someday. and i said well maybe? the way its looking right now, yeah sure! and he just kissed me on the forehead then got really quiet. and i asked him if anything was wrong and he started asking if he thinks we are going to fast. like if he asked me out too early. or how he thinks maybe hes not good enough for me and hes scared he'll mess up? so i asked him if he thought he was going to cheat on me and he said NO i would never! and he just started questioning us a bunch. and the next day he acted.... strange? and ever since he doesnt really act the same. he doesnt call me baby or say those puppy dog cute things he used to do allll the time. and he is hanging out with his friends more. wtf did i do wrong?

Do all women go crazy over "cute" things? Lately it seems I've been in contact with so many women who just love things that are "cute". Like really cute puppies or babies or cute figurines or other cute girls. Not saying people shouldn't be attracted to things they find nice looking and inoccent, but it seems a little childish to get so overjoyed by some of the things. Example: On one side you've got a cliche guy who sees a cute puppy and says "I don't get it. It's just a dog" On the opposite end, you've got a cliche girl who go nuts and has to hold it and pet it and has to verbally communicate how wonderfully cute it is. Her face lights up. In the middle is me. I can acknowledge that the puppy is cute. I even get a sense of peace and wonderment in seeing it. It makes me happy inside, but I don't have to say it out loud or I won't suddenly disconnect with the rest of the world to awe over it. All girls/women aren't really that cliche are they? There have to be some in the middle right? ***There were a couple of times I'd be in mid-sentence, talking about something important to me and my ex would literally walk away and go play with a cute kid or puppy that was walking by. Come on girls, really? She was 20!

What's the cutest thing your dog's ever done? What great memories do you have of the cute things your dog's done? My little mutt is now over a year old and I miss her puppy days when she bounced around all the time doing all kinds of cute baby-dog things. I remember the first time I gave her a cube of ice to suck on during a really hot day (don't get upset people - of COURSE I sat with her and supervised her to make sure she'd handle it OK!). I'll never forget the puzzled look on her little face as she tried to work out what the hell it was! Smacking her lips every second trying to work out the taste; peering up at the heavens squinting as it dissolved into water; opening up her eyes until they were like saucers when she realised how cold it was... And afterwards - when she spent fully 5 minutes sniffing around the little patch of wet grass where she'd been sitting a she searched for her strange new food that had somehow 'disappeared' - I thought I'd die laughing!

please help name our puppy, is a papillon tiny little dog? He is champion ship blood line, have been told needs to have a french name, two syllables are better.. he is white with brown ears, black tipped., little black moustache,, black and tan spots on back.. prances around, and looks very much like a baby deer.. I do think bambi would be cute, but husband doesnt like it. have had him now two weeks and cant find the right name to suit him.. or nick name to call him.. hubby said to have name today when he came home....... help!!

Should we get a puppy before or after birth? Me and my bf want to get a puppy :D is it better to get one before or after I give birth in September? I was thinking before so I can train him a little bit to be baby friendly or after so it will get used to it soon? Haha and what are some cute, small, loyal, child friendly dogs that are preferably small.. Thanks!!

Is a new puppy a good idea.? Before my little girl was born. I got a pit bull and a rott and 2 dashund both 7. now shes 22 months the pit is 4 and rott is 5. my mom wants to get her a new daschund puppy that is at her house the puppy is cute but how will the older dogs react to a new puppy they are just getting use to the baby i want her to have a puppy she can play with but i don't know I was raised around rotts and Pits my whole life they are great with kids mine tolerate her if they annoyed they just go outside and play. You just have to teach your dogs that there dogs not humans and that their are under humans. now without proper training yes they are a dangerous forse but these dogs i feel safe living her in the back yard with them as long as i can see i can work inside because they are not going to let anyone walk up there.

PLEASE HELP!! What should I do!?

And since then, this "situation" has progressed. Last Sunday, at church, the YOUTH had gone to a retreat this time in Prescott; him and I were the only teens that didn't go. So Sunday morning we were the only teens at church - so we sat in the back. The whole church service we talked, he kept looking at me while we talked and played with my iPhone - with these very sweet, cute eyes. And he kept licking his lips and biting them... Towards the end of service, he put his arm around me until church was dismissed. Before they actually dismissed, I left him to get a granola bar and juice from my sister (since she's a Sunday school teacher.) I came back and sat right next to him, and I shared some with his little brother (who is adopted and is only 2.) And he looks at me and says "can I have some" with these amazingly cute puppy dog eyes, and then just takes a bite out of the bar without me even answering and then laughs... AFTER church, me, him and his little brother were playing around in a little grass area and we sat down on a hill and watched the baby play. He then sits down behind me and puts his arms around me, and lays his head down on my shoulder and said "damn, I can't believe how beautiful you are..." And that just made me MELT... He grabbed my hand and held it for awhile... BUT he still hasn't asked me out and I'm not 100% sure if He's bi or even really likes me!? What should I do? Could he be playing with me? And if he does ask me out what should I do!? I need serious help haha x(

And he looks at me and says "can I have some" with these amazingly cute puppy dog eyes, and then just takes a bite out of the bar without me even answering and then laughs... AFTER church, me, him and his little brother were playing around in a little grass area and we sat down on a hill and watched the baby play. He then sits down behind me and puts his arms around me, and lays his head down on my shoulder and said "damn, I can't believe how beautiful you are..." And that just made me MELT... He grabbed my hand and held it for awhile... BUT he still hasn't asked me out and I'm not 100% sure if He's bi or even really likes me!? What should I do? Could he be playing with me? And if he does ask me out what should I do!? I need serious help haha x(

Help! What should I do about this 'Straight' guy who saw he likes me!? Okay, so I asked this question a few days ago, PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE GOING ON: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AqdwD4M6gmjVw0TcfxZAPZgM_dw4;_ylv=3?qid=20111118182355AAmENhv .... And since then, this "situation" has progressed. Last Sunday, at church, the YOUTH had gone to a retreat this time in Prescott; him and I were the only teens that didn't go. So Sunday morning we were the only teens at church - so we sat in the back. The whole church service we talked, he kept looking at me while we talked and played with my iPhone - with these very sweet, cute eyes. And he kept licking his lips and biting them... Towards the end of service, he put his arm around me until church was dismissed.

Play this baby name game? 1. You are a 21 year old who's just got out of college. You are living with your boyfriend who you met in college--he's a hockey player and has been your best friend for 7 years, until you finally started dating in college. His and your name is: 2. For a college graduation trip you and your boyfriend take a trip to Hawaii. There, he proposes to you!! You guys get married and 6 months later you discover you are pregnate with a baby boy! He is born on valentine's day as a cute chubby baby with auburn hair and blue eyes. You can name him whatever you want but his middle name has to be a color. 3. After your son turns one year old your husband has made a decidion to join the airforce. You three move to an air base where he goes into basic training for 6 months. A few days after he leaves, you take a home pregnancy test and see a little pink plus sign on the stick! 2 months after your husband comes home you guys have TWINS! A little girl and a boy. They have dirty blond hair and freckles. Their first names start with X and T and their middle names have to start with the same letter as each other. 4. Your first son is now 3 and the twins are 1. One day a stray puppy wanders up to your house... a sweet pit bull terrier with dark brown fur. You decide to keep her and name the pup: 5. Your husband has been in the airforce for 4 years flying a stealthy B2. Unfortunately he has been chosen to deploy in Iraq... After 5 months he comes back safely and you tell him a surprise. You're pregnate again!! After your oldest turns six, and the twins are 4, you have a little girl. The first and middle name can be whatever you want: 6. Soldier boy is honerably discharged and gets a job as a scientist.... and your family moves to Hawaii in a small town. This new town has a lot of dogs roaming around so you bring your dog to the vet to get spayed. Only to find out she is carrying puppies. You know who the sire is--your neighbor's pure white husky/german shepherd mix that has been roaming around your yard lately. 3 months later 4 puppies are born. A dark brown female with a curly tail, a brown and white male with a blue eye, and 2 pure white fluffy females. You name them: and keep one: 7. Your brother has been having financial problems and has to move in with you guys. Your house is big enough and can fit him his wife and border collie along with you, your husband and 4 children. Then, a surprise happens. Your brother's wife has triplets! Three girls! Their first names are after types gems. The middle names can be whatever. 8. You guys have a full house. You and your husband, brother, sister in law, 4 kids and 3 neices, and 3 dogs. But your first dog's puppy is grown up now and she and the border collie your brother brought along now has a litter of puppies. They have 6 and you decide to keep 2. There's a brown male with lighter brown patches and white paws, a black & white male and female, 2 white males with brown and black patches, and a little pure black runt that has the blue eyes from its husky blood. You name them: and the two you keep are: 9. Your oldest son is 17, the twins are 15, your girl is 11, and your 3 neices are 4. Your son tells you he got his girlfriend Kaity pregnate... and she has to move in with you guys. The baby is a boy. The first name is the name of your favorite singer and the middle name starts with the same letter as the first. It was kind of long but I hope this is okay... Yeah not very realistic but what would be the fun in that? lol. thanks! i'm not the best speller at times!

Need advice on small puppy situation? So my mom's friend rescued this 6 month old chi-poo from a family who was abusing it. She called to see if we wanted the puppy bc my mom had told her previously I was thinking about adopting one. Here is the thing. I've never owned a dog (grew up with them as a kid but they were never my responsibility). I have concerns. 1 being I have 2 cats who have never been around dogs. My male cat is very much like a baby. He follows me around the house like a pup and lays with me as soon as I sit down. I'm afraid he's really not going to be happy. My other concern is the puppy is timid. When I went to pet it it coward down (a clear sign someone abused the poor baby). They say she's good with dogs, cats and kids but I worry that this dog could be unpredictible. Also how often do little dogs have to go out? They said she's pee pad trained but for me I don't want that to be her way of eliminating but then again I also am a person who likes 8 hours of sleep and everyone tells me I'll have to get up in the middle of the night to let her out! So all in all with all these concerns I'm thinking that maybe it's not a good idea. At the same time I would love to have her. I'm so torn on what to do! I am sure she's gonna find a home if I don't take her so I'm not really worried but I would hate to give up on a free (well until the vet bills come) adorably cute puppy!

What about a new puppy for her.? Before my little girl was born. I got a pit bull and a rott and 2 dashund both 7. now shes 22 months the pit is 4 and rott is 5. my mom wants to get her a new daschund puppy that is at her house the puppy is cute but how will the older dogs react to a new puppy they are just getting use to the baby i want her to have a puppy she can play with but i don't know I have 6 acres so lots of room for them and a 4 bedroom 2 story ranch house room and money is not an issue.

my friend is getting on my nerves about breeding our dogs.. help? She's all like "Omg, you have a male yorkie, My chihuahua will make cute dogs.." I dont believe in breeding, she says "my little chihuahua is so cute, and your yorkie is so cute.. imagine the babies" I want to say ' No, Breeding causes homeless dogs, its just wrong. all the animals in the animal shelters have no homes, thats why they are there, if we breed a litter of about 4 or 5 then they might end up there too, even no kill shelters run out of room, loving dogs, being abandoned by heartless people.. its just wrong and so rude. Leaving people in shelters with the ability to just kill a friend .. its so bad.' when ever I tell her no she says "Well if we sell them to people we trust that wont abandon them, its a win-win situation" NO ITS NOT. We both volunteer at an animal shelter, she dosent see the pain in the dogs eyes like i do, Even though, i did buy my dog from a breeder, i still help dogs and thier people make good decisions. I have to admit, little puppies (yorkie-wawa's) are REALLY cute, I dont want to be the one over populationg the world..

To get a puppy or not ? A good friend of mine has a litter of dachsund puppies. They are 5 weeks old right now, black & tan shorthairs, all female. They're not going to be ready for 3 weeks, so I still have time to decide. THEY ARE VERY VERY CUTE! He says we can have one free if we want - he knows we'll give her a good home and would rather know that then worry about selling them. The parents are his own house-dogs, not breeding dogs, although they do have papers. I want so badly to say yes! I've wanted a dachsund as long as I could remember... but never wanted to pay for one, and always worried about getting stuck with a puppy mill dog as I didn't know anyone/anywhere personally to get one. I also have a dog already (my son) he's a 4 yr old mixed breed male/neutered terrier about 15ish pounds. I'm not so sure how happy he'd be about having another doggy around the house - although he likes having our cats around, and has always been friendly with other peoples dogs (that didn't live with us!) I also work a lot... and am limited to being home in the evenings & weekends. My current doggy stays in the laundry room while we're at work & school. I'm thinking of putting the puppy in the little dog kennel in the laundry room with Teddy (my other dog) while we're at work, so they could get to know each other, but he couldn't hurt her & she couldn't get hurt/lost in the house until she's bigger. BUT- is it fair to put an 8 week old puppy in a cage for 8-10 hours a day??? How will I ever housebreak her? Won't she be scared and lonely? When I got Teddy I was only driving a school bus, I was only gone 2-3 hours at a time, and home all summer, school holidays etc - I had all the time in the world for him & he was pretty much trained & housebroken by the time he was 8 months old - which I thought was pretty darn good! I'm really excited and want to get her so badly, but just don't know if it's a good idea! My friend says I can have her for a week or two, and if she doesn't get along with Teddy, or for any reason I don't think it's going to work out, he'll take her back. Whatd'ya think?? Should I go for it? Or am I just setting myself up for heartbreak because there's no way I'm gonna have enough time to take care of this new baby doggy & if I have to give her up it's going to be so hard, because you know I'm gonna fall in love with her!!!???

whats the cutest thing your puppy does? :]? i know people love to brag about their dogs, so here is your chance! :] what type of dog do you have? how old? whats his/her name? any pictures? what is the cutest thing he/she has ever done? did you rescue it?/how/why/when? or is it purebred (from a breeder)? heres a little bit about my dog :] he is a pekingnese 6 years old his name is gizmo http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a394/dazzleme_baby/animalssss006.jpg http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a394/dazzleme_baby/animalssss002.jpg the cutest thing my dog does is when we vaccum he gets so scared but after you're done and start winding up the plug he starts barking and jumping on you trying to save you from the vaccum! i didnt rescue him, i actually got him from a petstore (I know!). but I was 12 and me or my mom didnt know any better. I was just a bratty kid who wouldnt leave without a dog. next dog i get, im rescuing :] after im done with college. so, brag about your dog! :]

This press will connect you to the sounds of tears being shed by one of our volunteers who is holding a discarded old dog while the vet mercifully frees him from the grief of missing his family. I found this on-line and just LOVED it! The author is unknown. I just felt that I had to share!

A question about my neighbor's Akita and my possible adoption of it.? Okay, my next door neighbor has this cute little Akita that is about 2 years old. I'm trying to see if it's alright to adopt him from my neighbor because he's already moved far out and comes by from time to time to feed him. Recently I've taken up feeding him and giving him water over the fence (there's a large fence between our houses) and I always make sure he's alright as best as I can. Ever since his owner's left him (it'll be about a good 3 months now), he seems lonely and I'm concerned if he will be able to accept a new family without issues. Now, my concern is... will I be able to take him if my neighbor says it's alright (because I'd hate for him to go to a shelter...)? I guess I should describe his temper, behavior and what not so I will. Okay first, I've known the dog since he was a baby puppy (and a cute one <3 ), and he's always been playful and silly. I wasn't at their house much but whenever I was he never did anything to seem like he was hostile with me or that he was extremely fond of me either. It wasn't until recently that I REALLY got into him. Mostly because ever since his owner's moved, they've left him in the yard and like I said before, come by every day or two to feed him. I noticed this and volunteered to feed him over the gate because I don't have the nerve to get close to him. Every time I do this, he seems happy and even comes over to the fence when I call him (His name's Thor and yes, he's neutered). I even sprinkled him with a little water and all he did was run, but not too far away. He seemed like he wanted to play with me but I think he doesn't like water lol. He doesn't have a problem with my little sister or mother either, in fact, whenever my mom comes out the back door or goes to the fence he gets happy. And with my little sis, he just sniffed her. Now, here's the problem. I already have two dogs, both are 8 years old. One's a German Shepard/Retriever (male, not neutered) and the other's a pit bull/terrier (girl, neutered). He's never shown any hostility towards my Shepard mix and they even seem to have some sort of connection through the fence. Whenever I play with my Shepard in the backyard, he whines and acts like he wants to play too. And once he heard the broom fall on my Shepard once (yeah, he freaks out whenever things fall on him, kind of funny really), and my mom was on the back porch so she saw Thor run over to the gate. She told him it was alright and he just walked back to where he was before. But they did meet once before when Thor was younger. My Shepard (Bear), was sitting on the front porch with my older brother and Thor's previous owner's came over with him on a leash. Now, I wasn't there for this interaction but the owner's said that Thor wanted to play with Bear but he ignored him or something. But like I said, they don't seem to have problems with each other at all... Now, the Pit (Sugar) is a bit different. Whenever Thor sees her, he barks at her. I always assume it's because she's a girl though. I tell him to stop whenever he does that and he usually whines for a moment, then stops. Now it's rare that he does it at all. But moreover, Sugar's timid and unlike my dog Bear (who's calm and playful), she's always a nervous wreck and isn't violent at all. (Her previous owner was responsible for that). My concern is, will Thor hurt her? Will he hurt Bear? I'd love to take him but if he'll try fighting with them I don't know if I can. Also, will he try to cause harm to me and my family? We're all girls, except my brother who comes over from time to time. I'm a firm trainer I believe. I took over training Bear and Sugar after my brother left and now Bear listens to me very well (while before he would ignore me) and Sugar pretty much listens to everyone. I think I can give Thor some firm commands and training but if he will snap at me I don't know if I can be bothered with that. I don't take to kindly to unruly dogs. It makes me nervous that they'll snap. His previous trainers didn't train him at all. He didn't sit when told, didn't know how to stay, all he wants to do is play and no matter what they told him, he would practically ignore them (they were also a very small family while everyone in my house is 5'3/5'4 and taller. I just want some advice or information. I can't stand to see this dog so lonely everyday, spending time chasing birds and looking back and forth from the yard to the house, praying his family hasn't forgot him. He's gone through many nights alone in thunder storms, rain and sticky heat, his only shelter is the back porch. If I can help this dog please give me some information. I don't think I can call HS on my neighbor's because Thor's technically being taken care of (

Is this puppy sick?? While at the store on Saturday, I spotted an extremely cute puppy running aimlessly around the parking lot.... couldn't be more than 2 and a half months old.... looks exactly like a black lab, he ran up to me and I immediately put him in my car. Now, with my career, I do not have the time to take care of a dog but I was a little concerned about this lil boy. At first, I thought the puppy was a female b/c of the enormous, protruding belly that it had, thinking that it was pregnant, but It's a male and I am a little concerned because, seriously, the belly is about as wide as the puppy is longways. Like I said, this baby looks exactly like a lab puppy. Anyone know what could possibly be wrong with this puppy? Today, I thought it would go down (thinking he ate too much) but his stomach looks exactly the same. Worms maybe? Let me know what you think before I take him to the vet tomorrow morning. Thanks. (btw, I'm not planning on keeping him, I'm just concerned for its well being)

Baby shower favor wording please!!? I'm planning a shower and the gender of the baby is unknown.

If you have any revisions or better ideas, I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you :)

My girlfriend talks about me like I'm 2 years old or some kinda puppy? We've been together for a year now and my girlfriend's pretty normal in every other way, except ever so often she'll look at me and start squealing, "OMG, look at you Ross! You're so cuuuuuute in your little hoodie. Aw and look, you're wearing your little Nike tennis shoes?" Um...I'm a 30 year old man with TWO children, not a snuggly puppy dog. And even she's a 26-year-old only child and first grade teacher. I thought maybe that was why she coos over me, but I've observed her teaching and she doesn't gush all over her six-year-old students and she never talks about them being cute or adorable. She's nice to them, but she's not super mushy. So I'll groan and say to her, "I'm NOT cute." and she'll keep cooing over me like I'm a puppy or a adorable two year old. Sometimes she even pinches my cheeks! Then she'll say in a baby voice, "Yes you ARE cute!" This morning for instance, I woke up and start on the edge of the bed kinda hunched over because i was still sleepy. She sat up too and starts grinning and kissing my cheeks saying, "Aw...somebody has a case of the grumblies huh?" After I got dressed, she noticed I was wearing socks with my sandals and she starts cooing again. However, after we left the apartment and got in the car, she was completely normal again and started talking to me about the class she's taking, some issues with her Mom and how she needed to go to return some stuff to the store. EDIT: I have a four and nine year old and while she'll be affectionate with them (ie: holding their hand, putting an arm around their shoulder, hugs) she doesn't coo at them the way she does me either! should I get her a dog or something to baby?

My puppy's face stinks!!!? I have a three year old female maltese (peanut) , and a four month old male maltese (butter). I've had only Peanut for two years, and Peanut was lonely all the time :( I got Butter and they are both very happy now! :) But the problem is....... Butter's face stinks like crazy. I was passing by a pet store, and there were these cute little puppies kept in HORRIBLE HORRIBLE conditions.. I just got Butter like I would save a dog from any puppy mill. When I first got Butter, he had ear infections.. which nobody treated him, and developed into skin infections. So he was almost hairless, with smelly ears and gooey liquid coming out of his skin and ears. After a month of doctor and care, now he has clean ears and skin, and he's growing more and more hair!! :) He still has stinky face tho..... Like,, his eyes water a lot?? i took him to grooming so that hair doesn't poke his eyes all the time. I also wipe his tear stains every two days but his face is not smelly and clean for like an hour after bath, and then starts stinking again. The doctor said he's healthy and there was nothing wrong with him. I've never had issues with Peanut.. she's always so nice smelling. Peanut eats human food and Butter eats dried dog food. At first I thought it might be the food Butter's eating, and tried to give him different whole foods like veggies, and water boiled meat. But the problem still exists.. I don't know what could be the problem with Butter's face? Is it just because he's a baby? Am I forgetting that Peanut was like that too? lol Butter's hair overall gets greasy so easily.... like two, three days after bath, he's greasy already. as to Peanut never gets greasy even if I don't give Peanut a bath for two weeks. Should I be using a specific type of shampoo? Or some kind of treatment? I give Butter skin&coat supplements, treats, and give him a bath with skin treating shampoos.... with no luck. Could it be that this dog is just.... smelly by birth? lol It's not his breath.. I'm sure. It's around his eyes and nose area. It smells more horrible if I DON'T wash him often. It smells like he vomit on himself lol

My dog is the biggest baby...? Okay, so me and my boyfriend got a puppy a good five months ago or so. We mainly decided to get him because our two dogs that we had before either ran away or had gotten stolen. They were two pitbulls one was a girl who was reddish in color with green eyes and her name was Candy. We had a boy as well who was white with blue eyes and his name was Cane. Lol CandyCane:) anyways, about a month after they had "ran away" my friend told me she was giving her puppy away. I convinced my boyfriend to see him and he was the tinyest little pitbull i have ever seen. My friend told me its because he is a pitbull mixed with a weiner dog lol ya i dont know. We decided to get him and he was free which was a plus and he was so cute. But we definatley baby him. Which i now realize is bad ha. He has been sleeping in our bed since the first night we got him. But as time went by all he does is whine. Whine when we leave which is horrible because we cant even leave the apartment without hearing him crying and barking frantically as soon as we walk out the door. We never go anywhere because of him so we always have to take him when we go somewhere. I dont mind taking him sometimes but all the time is too much..he shouldnt be doing this? He whines when he wants to go outside(which is understandable...but...) me and my boyfriend just moved into an apartment. We lived with my parents for a while of whom has a big backyard so he got to run around all day. So i totally understand why he would want to go outside so much here...but its every five minutes...seriously he keeps us up at night because he sits and cries at the door to go outside...when he doesnt even need to go to the bathroom? And when he does want to go to the bathroom he usually does it in the apartment, and sometimes its right after we take him outside? We will take him outside and as soon as we get back in he wants to go out 2 seconds later and there he is whining at the door. I understand he wants to be outside a lot but he wasnt even like this at the other house? Its just driving us crazy because all we hear is whining and crying..i want to help my dog but i dont know how? And i want to get some sleep at night lol. I dont know what to do and my boyfriend is getting to frustrated he threatens to give the dog away but thats not an option for me. I love him. The dog means well hes just a big baby. We have treated him like a baby since we first got him so i blame myself but im an animal lover lol i baby all my pets. If anyone has some advice that would be great..thanks<3

Why do the Spanish appear to have a different view on keeping animals? I have changed the title of this as I dont think some people liked it so here goes again... I was recently in spain for a few weeks and so got to notice alot just how badly the Spanish treated their dogs. There were so many homeless older dogs. We went to a shopping centre one day and saw a very thin, scared looking dog wandering around. The English lady next to me said that she had picked up 3 dogs which she kept as pets from that shopping centre and that when the dog gets older, maybe vet bills may be on the cards, they just drop them off at the shopping centre. We noticed that a vast majority of people had the tiny little cute dogs or puppies, they sell these in cages at supermarkets. It seems to me that once they are no longer cute little puppies they just throw them away. I also noticed this on my travels in Malta and Italy but neither place was as bad as Spain. We also visited a Donkey sanctuary several times and got to know the owners (who were english) they had rescued donkeys from the most terrible of situations, baby donkeys left to starve in ditches, worked far too hard carrying weights that they shouldn't be allowed to carry etc. I just wonder why the Spanish don't seem to care for animals? In the UK our dogs are a member of our family - and so would a donkey be if we kept one as a pet!, and we wouldnt dream of throwing them away or leaving them to die. I would love to do something about this and teach people over there how animals deserve to be treated but would I just be talking to people who just arent interested? Any feedback from Spanish people would be interesting on this one?

Who else treats their dogs/cats like they are children? I know I do... my babies are three little basset hound puppies (11 months) and we treat them like babies, they even cry like a baby, I think they think they are people. but they are sooo cute!

i've got a red male toy poodle that cries like an ultrasonic baby... weird or normal? i have a two months old toy poodle. it is an indoor puppy, which stays indoors most of the time. he walks around looking so adorable, and quietly sleeps in a corner when tired sometimes. always, i will put him in his bed to sleep, but when i thought he's asleep, he would start crying like a little baby when i walk away from his bed. he barks very seldom, but cries every time he's in bed. why? is it normal for a 2 mth old toy poodle to behave this way? and not whining like a puppy or dog, but like crying like a baby. really crying. i know it sounds cute, but do you think he's okay? i mean crying like a baby... can anyone help? it's not about earning points to enjoy, but the feeling of helping others who are in need and asking a question for help... you will only truly enjoy when you help others and know that they are not as worried anymore, and when their problems is somewhat solved, right? so...please, help me.

My cat wants to kill my new puppy, experienced advice? I got a little eight week old puppy she arrived yesterday. My cat has absolutely flipped I’m doing my best to show that I still love him but he pretty much tried to kill her last night. It’s obvious that he is threatened and territorial. I can’t let the puppy down anywhere or in any rooms he’s in because he pretty much just wants her dead. Anyone with experienced advice would be really appreciated. My cat was feral and we’re pretty sure he was dumped not long after he finished growing so he may have been owned by the sort of person who replaces cute one baby animal with the next and thinks he’s about to be abandoned again (or I could be over thinking this). He’s between three and five and was feral for over a year (He lived in the neighborhood). He lost an ear in a fight with a dog just before we got him and all the surrounding yards have big dogs who chase cats. But he’s a 10kg cat and she’s maybe a hand width tall so she can’t even pretend to be a threat. Please don’t comments on me being dumb getting a puppy when I have a cat that was obviously going to react badly, I’ve been told. Thanks that is about what I've been doing. Quick brief moments for the cat with ridiculous amounts of praise when he isn't growling, hissing or spitting.

Big family baby name game? Okay, here goes... 1) You are twenty-two and have just married your high-school sweetheart and are desperate for a big family. You start trying for a baby and conceive easily. Nine months later you give birth to a gorgeous baby girl, she has blonde hair and the most adorable blue eyes, what do you call her? 2) When your little princess is five you and your husband decide that the time is right to try for another child. He is born two weeks late and is incredibly big at 10lbs 5oz. He has curly brown hair and emerald eyes, what do you name him? 3) Two years later you have your third child, a little girl. She is like a little doll and was so tiny at birth that you were afraid she'd break if you held her. She has blonde hair and blue eyes just like her sister, you pick a really girly name for her. 4) You soon realize that your tiny city flat won't accommodate any more children so you and your husband decide to move house. This involves giving up your job as a reporter and your husband being repositioned somewhere else as a sports coach. You both decide that this is worth it and one month after the move you discover you are pregnant again. When he is born he has the chubbiest cheeks and curly golden brown hair. Pick a traditional name for this little cherub. 5) A year after your second son was born you conceive again, you opt to find out the sex and are delighted to find out that it will be another girl. Your husband picks the first name Sarah, what would her middle name be? 6) A year after you've had Sarah you feel your broodiness kicking in again and are desperate to try again. This time it is a boy and you want to name him something classic that has a trendy nickname. 7) Your youngest son is two and once again you get that need for more children so you try again but it takes a long time for you to conceive and you have a complicated pregnancy. He is born six weeks early and has to stay in the intensive care unit for ages. He has ginger hair and the cutest little stubby nose, you decide to name him after a family member. 8) When your cute little son is one year old you decide to try just once more, you conceive easily and are shocked to find out it's twins! They are fraternal twin girls, one has mousey blonde hair and blue eyes and the other long ginger hair but with the exact same colour eyes. You decide that their middle names will be Charlotte and Lynn. 9) You went to a party and well... things got out of hand, nine months later you have an adorable little boy. He has curly brown hair and puppy-dog brown eyes, what do you name him? 10) You have your hands full with ten children and were certainly not planning on having any more, but one night your protection fails and you find out you are pregnant with twin boys. They are identical and both have short brown hair and dark brown eyes, you want there to be some realation between their middle names. Did you like it? Sorry it was a bit long! Yeah, ok, it was based on cheaper by the dozen :)

Is A ham bone okay for a Great Dane Puppy? I have a 7 month old little baby Great Dane puppy (he is only 95 pounds, just a cute little thing) I have a ham bone left over from the holidays and I know he would love it. However I know you have to be careful what you feed a Great Dane because of bloat and other health issues. I also know that ham can make some smaller dogs sick. So this question is for you more experienced Great Dane owners (Great Dane Lady if you are out there I would really love to hear your advise). Is it safe to give Thor the hambone?

Babies... Babies.. Babies...? Anyone else been surrounder by babies. Right now I have my daughter (1 year old), I have my 6 month old rottie puppy and 2 cute little babies kittens. My house has become chaos although it is fun. The baby and the puppy are great together but the dog is still kind of rough around the kittens but they are slowly getting use to each other. What is your best memory of when you first got your pets or when they were babies?

Getting my dogs fixed, aim a little nervous!? i dont usually ask for advice but here it goes!! :) I have two shih tzu's, full breed. Theyre my hairy babies.. lol Love'um both to death! There's Milo, he is about ten months old, and Coco, she will be six months in a week. Theyre both going to be fixed on Friday. If they were to have babies, i would have good homes for all the puppies... friends have been asking about it because they think theyre cute and a very docile breed too. Anyway, Coco could go into heat any moment, and Im not home all the time to make sure nothing happens (if you know what I mean). I could lock them in different rooms I suppose... but even when Im sleeping? Its too much trouble for me and my doggies, and I think its just mean anyway. I've read if puppies get pregnant at six months during their first heat cycle, its bad for the mother... and the puppies could be still born, or she would still be too immature and not know what to do with them. Even if that all went great, I have four young children. Two four year old twin boys, a 6 and 8 year old. I would be a nervous wreck. Soooooo I thought, duh, lets just get them fixed. I never got them for what they could give me... I just loved'em when I saw them! I grew up with 2 also, RIP Snowball and Chewie!! They were both boys tho, so i dont even have experience with newborn pups. Everyone i know is giving me flack about getting them fixed because they are both showdog quality. Am I wrong, or over reacting? I figured if they wanted a dog that bad for free, they could go to the pet shelter. Anyone had their dog fixed? what should I expect when they get home... anything i should pick up at the store? Im a little nervous about it. Thanks for listening!! Wow, I hope you all are reading the question right! Where did backyard breeder come from? Maybe a little support and less badgering. I haven't done anything wrong They are going to be fixed, what can i expect when they get home from the vet?

Would I ruin our puppy to leave her alone all night? Okay we have a puppy, the cutest little puppy you've ever seen! We love her to pieces and we are finally seeing some progress on the biting front (I've asked about that before). I'm home all day long with a daycare business and some day's my husband is home too. She is taken outside all day (at seperate times, she's not left outside all day!) and has had very few accidents...the ones she's had have been our fault when we weren't paying attention and we've just cleaned them up and ignored them. In the whole month we've had her though she's had maybe 5 accidents so she's doing really well and she'll "ask" to go out now, scratching the door, whining at us, whatever...there's always some kind of signal. Here's the thing...we have had her for about a month now and we've been getting up with her through the night but....it's killing us!!!! She sleeps in our bed with us and wakes us up when she has to go (by us I mean she licks my face). This is her night schedule, I take her out about 10, my husband around 11 or 12, then I take her out sometime between 2-3, my husband around 5-6, my kids take her in the backyard at 7 then we start our day...she sleeps a lot in the morning, gets a good walk in the afternoon, sleeps some more, has a big crazy play time from 3-4 in the backyard with the kids, another big walk either before or after dinner, and then the night time comes again. I can barely get up in the mornings now and my husband is the same. How terrible would it be to put her in her crate and expect her to hold it from 11-7? Would it ruin her potty training thus far? We even have a tiled landing in the basement that we could block off (there are doors all around) where she can sleep, we could put her in her crate with the door open and a pee pad at the front of it (although up till now I've been very against the pee pad things) and then continue to take her out during the day. We just seriously need some sleep...they say it's like having a baby but my "real" babies slept through the night (8 hours) at 6 weeks, both of them, and now our puppy is 10 weeks today. Yes we got her early, yes I know now that was too early, no I didn't get her from a puppy mill, just a couple of farm dogs that made friends and the people didn't know either as they're not breeders. She is a lab (she looks like a golden lab with the cutest white tips) and Australian Shepherd, and Collie. Anyway...some thoughts? Or at least encouragement? When can she be expected to sleep through the night if you think we should continue the night time potty trips? Thank you in advance! Lily, you are being rather harsh here...when we first brought her home she had her own bed. When I took her out I'd put her safely in her own bed and sometimes stay with her for a few moments till she fell back asleep. My big tough husband however felt she was too little to be sleeping like that and on the third night her brought her to bed with us. I really don't feel we need to worry about her respect from bed sleeping alone, there are a lot of other things we do to make sure she sees herself at the bottom of our "pack". We are not stupid dog owners, just REALLY tired! I'm more than willing to "suck it up", taking a nap however is out of the question as I said I am running a daycare business here and my husband works full time as well. But hey, thank's for your support.. I am pro crate training and she is in her crate, happily anytime we need to leave her alone for a bit.

so what do you think?? i need opinions!!fastt!! ugh boy problems!!? ok so there is this guy... and we have known each other since we were babies. and have been really good friends... and he is a year older. well on the last day of school i was standing there talking to two of my guy friends and he like went out of his way to come and talk to me.. and when we were all standing there talking i was messing with one of my guy friends phones trying to like put my number in or something and one of his friends came up and said " I wouldn't be flirting with other guys" (talking to me) " oh haha and why is that" " cause seth(guys name) can be a pretty jealous man" (luckily) my phone started ringing and seth turned red and walked off while i was on the phone and i saw him a few times during the summer but we didn't have time to talk.. and then this saturday our school had this thing called the "kick off supper" and it is just like an "introduction" into fall sports(volleyball,and football) and they introduce all the players and do an auction and all that. anyways everyone that was getting introduced was kept in a hallway until it was time for us to go in the main gym.. and i was talking to a new kid that was going to be in my grade... and he goes "haha do you know that guy" and nods his head in seth's direction. and i look back and he is just sitting there staring at me... and it was just like a hateful stare...so i exchanged numbers with the new kid(his idea) and then i went over to where seth was.. and said hi and all that and nothing was awkward. then we finally got to go to the main gym and get announced. and we went to sit on the floor and i was going to sit beside my best friend but set slid in and took her place and started talking to me.. well then we both and got announced. well then the new kid sat beside me. and started talking to me and the convo went like this "haha wow i'm nervous"(him) " lol why" me " well i don't want to seem stalkerish" "haha no you won't" then seth scoffed at my other side and i shot him a dirty look. haha then he gave me the cutest puppy dog face look :) and then i turned back to the new kid and he asked me "will you go to homecoming with me??" and i actually kind of like him so i said " well i would love to, but let me think about it" and he said ok and walked off then seth was like him--"you know all he is doing is get in your pants" me-- "excuse me!" him-- "thats just how you come off" me-- " and how do i come off?!" him-- " like a slut" me-- "and what is that supposed to mean!" him-- "that you flirt with a lot of guys" me-- "umm no i don't " him-- " look its nothing to get bent out of shape about" me-- "whatever i'm not a slut" him-- " not a slut in your sense" me-- "what is my sense: him-- "sleeping/making out with a lot of guys" me-- " then what kind of slut am i??" him-- " the pretty kind" then he winked at me.. then that conversation was pretty much over lol then that night i got a foward from his little sister that said "he is still crazy about you but you will lose him forever if you don't send on to 9 girls" so i just kind of ignored it for then and got on my myspace and he im'med me like right away so i mean does he like me or what what do you think?? oh and if it is to confusing just tell me and i will add additional details and try to explain it better, i just woke up and like wrote everything down :) so just please tell me what you think :))

Best Reagrds It seems a bit suspicious to me....I've heard about puppies from puppy farms and i was wondering if you think the puppy is from one?? When they advertised they said that And please don't tell me off about me looking at ads...because I've owned 6 dogs which I bought from a person's home and each of the dogs lived healthy lives...I am very careful... I know that you have to make sure that you can see the mum and make sure that they have been vet checked... Oh and the ad place I go on have this thing where on the ad the website put next to the name of the breeder... (official breeder) It's a well know ad website so it's not a scam... And don't worry...I wasn't thinking of getting one of those puppies anyway...I know a experienced local breeder who i'm getting my puppy from

made a bad decision and bought a puppy? So my husband and I just bought a puppy from the Humane Society yesterday - all by my request, I just wanted a cute little puppy and thought it would be good practice before having a baby etc. Anyways, being a little afraid of bigger breeds, and having a smaller house, and having a cat, I really wanted a smaller breed dog but those go so fast at the humane society, so we ended up getting a shepherd/lab mix that definately also has a bully breed in it (brindle coloring, pointy tail). Anyways, the second we got home I am just having the worst "buyers remorse", and absolutely do not want to keep the dog. I just realized with both of us working long hours it is not the best decision....even with a walk in the morning and one at night, she will be in her crate for about 17 hours per day. And I know that if we brought the puppy back today (still only 12 weeks old) she would get adopted immediately, and I would think they would be more understanding there if we brought her back right away instead of waiting a month or two. I realize we would not get the adoption money back however it would be money supporting an animal shelter so I would be fine with that. My husband, who did not want a puppy to begin with, keeps telling me to give it a week or two, but I know that with us both working long hours during the day, it would be the best decision to bring her back asap so that she has the best chances of being adopted again..... I feel really horrible and couldn't even sleep last night, but my question is do you think it's the right thing to do, if we realize right away this isn't a good decision? Or should the mentality be we got her, now we have to deal with it (husband). well my husband really wants me to wait a day or two, so weds. morning will be decision day. I think what upsets me is that I have never HAD a dog so I always thought it would be fun to have one - and now I am realizing I'm NOT a dog person at all (it is a very well behaved puppy - she is already going to the bathroom outside, slept in the crate last night without crying, alreadys walks well on a leash- so it is absolutely nothing against her at all). I would really hope that if we take her back they would not be too mad at us at the humane society... also, the next 4 weeks we have a houseguest that would be able to take the puppy out during the day if needed - after that she would be crated from about 8-5 everyday, and then at bed time. I already know it was a bad decision (I should've listened to my husband!) he is being supportive (while being a little frustrated of course) The part I'm most worried about is how to face the people at the humane society because I am going to feel like one of the 'bad guys'... to Mandi - I'm very sorry to hear about your situation. from reading all the advice so far, it seems like the best thing to do is talk to the SPCA about the situation, they could maybe keep in contact with you to let you know if your dog got adopted or not? For me, since our puppy is so little, I know her getting adopted wouldn't be an issue (in fact it would probably happen the same day) it's just the shame of bringing her back, and being one of those people that return a dog, that makes me feel awful. But I need to suck it up and do it, because there is no way in heck my husband is going to do it for me! One question though for the person who stated the breed mix was bad - what exactly makes the breed more aggressive? I ask because she seems really sweet, but is aggression something certain breeds are prone to develop at a certain age?

I think my puppy may be pregnant, what should I do? Sometimes during the day we let our dog play outside on her runner when it's warm out. The neighbors have a little chihuahua and our dog went into heat for the first time a few weeks ago. Lately her "boobs" have been getting bigger and she pees a lot when she gets really excited. I know a lot of dogs pee like that, but she never did it until just lately, after she went into heat. I didn't even know the neighbors had a dog until a few days ago, but now I'm worried she's pregnant. Also, I feel kind of bad because I feel like we put her out to play and the other dog just came over and took advantage of her. She's just barely a year, so she's really young. And she only weighs about 5-6 pounds and I don't want to put her through a pregnancy. She's little and kind of a baby when it comes to certain things. What should I do? I don't know if there's abortions for these kinds of things? And I wondered what the early signs of a dog pregnancy are? And I forgot to say she's a yorkie poo, so I don't know how cute the dogs will turn out. And we can't keep any of them!

I have a 1-2 week old abandoned baby goat.Is there an animal shelter or someone that will take care of it ? It has already been taught to drink from a bottle so it's very simple to feed it. You may even want it as a pet. It's the cutest little thing. It hops around, plays and wags it's tail like a little puppy, but I can't keep it because I have 3 dogs that I'm afraid might kill it or hurt it. So please if you know a place that will take care of it let me know. Thanks.....................

He stopped calling me cute nicknames? We're moving too fast? Me & my boyfriend, Tyler, have been dating almost 2 months now. About a week ago from yesterday, he had completely stopped calling me "baby" except a couple of times while we were in person. I tried to talk to him about it & he said that he's not always going to follow me around like a little puppy dog, and he will say it when its needed or whatever. He use to say it constantly. I'm becoming worried. I was so worried that earlier this week I tried to end it with him, and he gave me crap about "I work my ass off for you & you dont even understand it and you let people fill your ears with shit. you can talk to me when you realize what i do for me and you just to have one amazing day together" and we fought. LAter on that night we decided that we've moved a little too fast. (fingering...other stuff.) So we have completely cut all of that out and no more "I love you". what does him not saying that anymore mean? and do you agree we moved too fast for 2 months? When I say he's not "saying it anymore" I meant the words "baby" and "babe"

Chihuahua puppy names? Im getting a little baby boy chihuahua puppy next week! Im sooooo EXCITED!! I want a cute name for him! My mom wants it to be somethin that makes people thinks hes a big dog like Monster or Warrior! If u can find a common ground that would be perfect!

What is the best way to introduce a new puppy into my home (with my current puppy)? I asked something like this last night. I found out there is a different puppy that I might be adopting. She's going to bring the dog here to meet the family and my puppy. If it all works out, we can keep her. They are both puggles. How can we make this go as smooth as possible? When people come in (whether my dog knows them or not) she goes INSANE! She gets so happy she even pees a little! I was thinking...should I keep her going when she sees the puppy? Should I say "look look baby look how cute she is" and keep her energized....or should I not get her anymore excited? What should I do. How should I act? Obviously, calm and not hesitant, but is there too much excitement that might ruin the first meet? They are only a couple of months apart. One is 1 and the other is a few months younger. Maybe, 2 months.

New Puppy Won't Stop Crying! Help? So we got her yesterday, from a friend whose dog had puppies. She's a puggle, a beagle-pug cross. a beautiful little thing, but very hard to satisfy! She's been crying for I don't know how long this morning, and just a moment ago fell asleep, but I'm asking- help for crying puppy, because i've been trying everything to get her to shut up. Food, water, playing, exploring my room, petting, holding, letting my older dogs socialize with her- And she wouldn't quit whining. Not just a wimper kind of whine, but like "Waaa!" that's more of a shriek. She's maybe four or five weeks old, already eats soft foods and we have her at home. I adore her already and she's so cute, so good-natured, but trying to keep her happy, it's a guessign game. I feel like a mom. Lol. She seems to like it when I hold her in my hand, raising and lowering her gently like you see dads do with their human babies, you know, like playing.... Well, it's just frustrating, this adorable little thing, and she acts so miserable. She'll hush for a few minutes but then the whining will be back. Help?! thanks.

New puppy troubles.. well, name-wise? Okay, so I've noticed that this is a re-occuring problem with people now and days... nobody is original to name their own puppy anymore... Well, I guess I'm one too cause every name I've thought of my bf really doesn't like. I got a new puppy on Halloween, she's absolutely adorable and loves to play with her little squeeky bone toy. She's chow, pit and chihuahua mix.. she's got the body of a chi, the tongue of the chow (pink with black spots) and she's got the rough fur of the pit. She's still pretty small but already about the size of a regular chi and she's only 2 months old. Well, okay so she was born on August 13th... On her face, she has the markings of like a min-pin, but where the black usually is there is a dark brown and the tan is pretty light... she has the typical big ears of the chi.. The rest of her body is like a dark brown or almost a black with some white or light tan "peppering" (if you get that at all) and her legs are the light tan like what's on her face. She is absolutely adorable, although she prolly sounds like a colorful mutant lol.. She's usually really chill but she doesn't really like people yet, she wasn't socialized before we got her. She sleeps with us, and LOVES to give lots of kisses on your face. She pretty much will eat anything you give to her and as much of is at your willing to give away lol and she absolutely HATES being a lone. She was one of eight puppies and there was four adult dogs and six children in the home she was at before us... Oh, and EVERYTHING she has is pink... even some of her treats are pink! lol her toys, colar, leash, bowl, kennel, bed.. EVERYTHING is in some way, shape or form pink lol Kevin (the bf) calls her Princess, which she pretty much is in his eyes lol He pretty much wants an original name that isn't a human name lol and I just want something that fits as much of her as possible... Now then, here's a list on names I've tried and family/friends have suggested: Duchess Princess (I don't really care for it) Baby Skittlez Lili Misty Pepper Oh, and what I originallky wanted to name her was Maugi.. because everybody thinks she looks like a Gremlin and I thought Gizmo was a boys name. So since Gizmo always used to say Maugwyi (his real name) I thought Maugi for short would be cute... but it doesn't really roll of the tongue very well and Kevin doesn't really like it. Plz help me!! I've resorted to looking up the top 20 puppy names, words in different languages and even seeing what celebs have named their kids (haha, like apple and shit... something you would usually name a pet) And then I thought Suri would be cute, but wasn't really sure if I should go the celeb route lol so PLZ if you have any ideas let me know cause I've had her for a while and I'm sick of calling her "Puppy" and "NoName" lol and she's got to get groomed some time and I'm hoping to have a name by then lol

ferret hangs out with dogs..,. and acts like one? i have a b-e-a-utiful baby boy ferret named mookie. i love him to death, and aside from me, his only playmates are my girlfriend and her adorable little puppy. they play alot together. but because hes only three months or so, i figured his odd sounding dooks might be normal? however, after thinkiing about it, his dooks sound alot like the panting of a happy happy dog. but super duper cute. so i was wondering, is my mookie just an odd ferret? or has he learned to be more like bloom (my gf puppy), or maybe, even deaf? however, he isnt a blaze, albino or panda. hmmmmmm my mookie is special :D p.s mookie isnt hot or anything, hes having fun. i know if he were hot, he might be dead :( poor mookie. but hes not! hes scooting a lady bug across my floor right now :D dumb dog

My puppy died on Memorial Day :(? My baby died on Monday & I'm sooo sad :( He was SO precious. He always brightened up my day as soon as I seen him. He was just the cutest little thing. I loved him more than any other animal that I have ever had. He was something else. He was so special to me. I miss him. It's so weird coming home from school & him not jumping up & down greeting me. :( I'm so miserable & I'm so shocked. I just seen him the morning of his death. I never thought he would die later on in the day. He got hit by a car. My parents were at work, and my step brother, his fiance, and their baby were getting ready to leave. They said they didn't notice him but we ALWAYS noticed him when he got out. Plus he was downstairs and he HAD to have ran out as soon as the door opened, so I feel as though they HAD to have seen. I'm angry and so sad over this. I feel like it was my fault. I should have kept him upstairs with me, but I went to take a shower, and I think that that's when it happened. Do you guys think dogs go to Heaven? And my dad called the place where we got him because we want a dog just like him because he was SO good, and SO loveable, and SO cute. I really want to do it, but I don't want it to seem as though I'm replacing him because I would never ever do that. My dad asked if we could get a dog from his same mom and dad because he thinks their personality will be similar. Is it bad if we get another dog so soon? Do you think my puppy would be disappointed and sad and feel replaced? And can you guys share some of your stories if you have them about your dogs if they got hit by cars and what you guys did? And whenever I look at his picture, cause it's set as my default on my phone, like it always has been. It's so hard. And I focus on it so closely because I think of every little detail of that day he died. Is it bad to not want to look at it sometimes? It's so hard :(

Would you get a puppy if you had my current living arrangements? My husband and I have an 11 year old cat (who is not fond of many people and/or animals), an 8 year old Lab/Shepherd mix (who is HUGE, btw), a 3 year old daughter (who is almost 4) and a baby who is due in less than a month. I feel as if I have my hands full already, but one of my friend's dog's just had puppies and they are sooo cute! Would it be wise to add a puppy to our family when we are just about to have a newborn baby as well? I'm just not sure if I could handle it right now. Maybe we can get one when our children are a little older? I don't know... what would YOU do? Dave C... Just so you know, my husband is not the only one with a job. I have one as well. My friend has 3 dogs (not including the puppies). Two of them ARE fixed, but the third one she got at a rescue shelter only to find out that it was pregnant. She plans on getting her fixed as well once she finds good homes for the puppies.

Help!! Animal cruelty? Ok so my ex boyfriend's cousin had this dog. It was this little puppy so cute. Anyway her 4 boys did not feed it or give it water and it ended up dying. They never took it to the vet to get it checked out and they would always keep it in the laundry room with the door shut so he never got any exercise. Before all this happened she tried to give me the dog because no one was taking care of it. I told her I could not take the puppy because I already have 3 dogs and a baby on the way. So now I just feel so bad. Anyway I was wondering who I should call because this is a clear case of animal cruelty. She should have stepped in to make sure the dog was being fed and had water she is an adult and kids never take care of anything. So what should I do. I don't want her to know I reported her because she knows I am an animal lover. I mean they buried the dog in the back yard. This just makes me sick. Oh I forgot to mention I have 3 dogs and two cats and a baby on the way, so that is why I told her I could not take the dog. I just feel awful.

His best trick is surrender, he throws up his paws really quick and stands there. He also dances just like our other one His fave toys are tennis balls they are almost like pacifires to him Shay is a 3yr old Chow/Corgi mix I found her wondering the streets at approximetly 7weeks old, I took her to the vet, got her checked out, and out and put up flyers and took an ad out in the paper but nobady claimed her, so I was more then happy to giver her a home, She fits in so well her best trick is shake she is pretty stubborn when it comes to learning tricks, she doesn't know any unusual/funny tricks Her favorite toy are the tug ropes Cheyenne is a 2 1/2 yr old Catahoula My friend told me She was going to go get a puppy from someone who needed to get rid of them within the week or they were all going to go to the shelter, :( there was 4 of them, so I went with her and we decided to take them all (the "owner' couldn't have cared less, but they were eight weeks old) and find loving, good homes for them. we each took two. She kept one and found a home for another one just 2 weeks later (we were willing to keep them as long as it took till they found good homes) I found a home for one just a little earlier then that but could not part with Cheyenne she is the sweetest smartest dog I've ever owned. The trick she knows best is... High five, or crawl maybe Some funny ones is dead, high five, she wacks you so hard with that paw! Her fave toy is a duck I'll be getting another dog soon, not sure on the name but I'm eager to bring her home. We also have a Snake Baby Rabbit Ashes 5 cows no names yet if at all 4 cats Kit Kat, Joelee, Lily, Sky Thanks everyone for sharing Sorry its's so long and for any errors in my typing

Need a Reason to NOT Breed? First, the legit: How many of you have considered breeding a 'just because' litter? 'Just because' my dog is cute, smart, has a great temperament,aI want one just like her, family wants a puppy from her, I could make a little money off the puppies, etc.? Maybe you haven't DONE it, but just THOUGHT about it. I admit it- when I first got my Papillon Cricket, my male Jay had not been neutered, and my fsther and I thought... oh, what cute babies they would make!! Then Cricket's bite went off and she developed patella luxation, and we didn't want to pass that on, so we spayed her and neutered Jay. I found this essay on another boasrd I frequent this morning. It's not a dog board, so I was surprised to find it. It made me cry... but more importantly... it made me THINK. If you have hever had a passing thought to breed, please read this. If it can change one mind, it's worth the time & effort put into it. Please star this so as many as possible can read about Sam. My Name is Sam After I was discharged from the Royal Airforce, my friend Jim and I moved from Germany to Detroit USA. We chose the US because life there is cheap, and we`d both been to university there. We`d already decided on gaining a higher degree of education for furthering our job prospects. Jim was going for a degree in Electronics and I, after much debating, decided to get mine in Computer Science. One of the classes that was a requirement was Speech. Like many people, I had no fondness for getting up in front of people for any reason, let alone to be the centre of attention as I stuttered my way through some unfamiliar subject. But I couldn't get out of the requirement, and so I found myself in my last semester before graduation with Speech as one of my classes. On the first day of class our professor explained to us that he was going to leave the subject manner of our talks up to us, but he was going to provide the motivation of the speech. We would be responsible for six speeches, each with a different motivation. For instance our first speech's purpose was to inform. He advised us to pick subjects that we were interested in and knowledgeable about. I decided to centre my six speeches around animals, especially dogs. For my first speech to inform, I talked about the equestrian art of dressage. For my speech to demonstrate, I brought my German Shepherd, Bodger, to class and demonstrated obedience commands. Finally the semester was almost over and I had but one more speech to give. This speech was to take the place of a written final exam and was to count for fifty per cent of our grade. The speeches motivation was to persuade. After agonizing over a subject matter, and keeping with my animal theme, I decided on the topic of spaying and neutering pets. My goal was to try to persuade my classmates to neuter their pets. So I started researching the topic. There was plenty of material, articles that told of the millions of dogs and cats that were euthanized every year, of supposedly beloved pets that were turned in to various animal control facilities for the lamest of reasons, or worse, dropped off far from home, bewildered and scared. Death was usually a blessing. The final speech was looming closer, but I felt well prepared. My notes were full of facts and statistics that I felt sure would motivate even the most naive of pet owners to succumb to my plea! A couple of days before our speeches were due, I had the bright idea of going to the local branch of the Detroit Humane Society and borrowing a puppy to use as a sort of a visual aid. I called the Humane Society and explained what I wanted. They were very happy to accommodate me. I made arrangements to pick up a puppy the day before my speech. The day before my speech, I went to pick up the puppy. I was feeling very confident. I could quote all the statistics and numbers without ever looking at my notes. The puppy, I felt, would add the final emotional touch. When I arrived at the Humane Society I was met by a young guy named Ron. He explained that he was the public relations person for the Humane Society. He was very excited about my speech and asked if I would like a tour of the facilities before I picked up the puppy. I enthusiastically agreed. We started out in the reception area, which was the general public's initial encounter with the Humane Society. The lobby was full, mostly with people dropping off various animals that they no longer wanted Ron explained to me that this branch of the Humane Society took in about fifty animals a day and adopted out twenty. As we stood there I heard snippets of conversations: "I can't keep him, he digs holes in my garden." "They`re such cute puppies, I know you will have no trouble finding homes for them." "She is wild, I can't control her." I heard one of Humane Society's volunteer explain to the lady with the litter of puppies that the Society was filled with puppies and that these puppies, being b being black, would immediately be put to sleep. Black puppies, she explained, had little chance of being adopted. The woman who brought the puppies in just shrugged, "I can't help it," she whined. "They are getting too big. I don't have room for them." We left the reception area. Ron led me into the staging area where all the incoming animals were evaluated for adoptability. Over half never even made it to the adoption centre. There were just too many. Not only were people bringing in their own animals, but strays were also dropped off. By law the Humane Society had to hold a stray for three days. If the animal was not claimed by then, it was euthanized, since there was no background information on the animal. There were already too many animals that had a known history eagerly provided by their soon to be ex-owners. As we went through the different areas, I felt more and more depressed. No amount of statistics, could take the place of seeing the reality of what this throwaway attitude did to the living, breathing animal. It was over overwhelming. Finally Ron stopped in front of a closed door. "That's it," he said, "except for this." I read the sign on the door. "Euthanization Area." "Do you want to see one?" he asked. Before I could decline, he interjected, "You really should. You can't tell the whole story unless you experience the end." I reluctantly agreed. "Good." He said " I already cleared it and Peggy is expecting you." He knocked firmly on the door. It was opened immediately by a middle aged woman in a white lab coat. "Here's the girl I was telling you about," Ron explained. Peggy looked me over. "Well I'll leave you here with Peggy and meet you in the reception area in about fifteen minutes. I'll have the puppy ready." With that Ron departed, leaving me standing in front of the stern-looking Peggy. Peggy motioned me in. As I walked into the room, I gave an audible gasp. The room was small and spartan. There were a couple of cages on the wall and a cabinet with syringes and vials of a clear liquid. In the middle of the room was an examining table with a rubber mat on top. There were two doors other than the one I had entered. Both were closed. One said to incinerator room, and the other had no sign, but I could hear various animals noises coming from behind the closed door. In the back of the room, near the door that was marked incinerator were the objects that caused my distress: two wheelbarrows, filled with the bodies of dead kittens and puppies. I stared in horror. Nothing had prepared me for this. I felt my legs grow weak and my breathing become rapid and shallow. I wanted to run from that room, screaming. Peggy seemed not to notice my state of shock. She started talking about the euthanization process, but I wasn't hearing her. I could not tear my gaze away from the wheelbarrows and those dozens of pathetic little bodies. Finally, Peggy seemed to notice that I was not paying attention to her. "Are you listening?" she asked irritably. "I'm only going to go through this once." I tore my gaze from the back of the room and looked at her. I opened my mouth to say something, but nothing would come out, so I nodded. She told me that behind the unmarked door were the animals that were scheduled for euthanasia that day. She picked up a chart that was hanging from the wall. "One fifty three is next," she said as she looked at the chart. "I'll go get him." She laid down the chart on the examining table and started for the unmarked door. Before she got to the door she stopped and turned around. "You aren't going to get hysterical, are you?" she asked, "Because that will only upset the animals." I shook my head. I had not said a word since I walked into that room. I still felt unsure if I would be able to without breaking down into tears. As Peggy opened the unmarked door I peered into the room beyond. It was a small room, but the walls were lined and stacked with cages. It looked like they were all occupied. Peggy opened the door of one of the lower cages and removed the occupant. From what I could see it looked like a medium-sized dog. She attached a leash and ushered the dog into the room in which I stood. As Peggy brought the dog into the room I could see that the dog was no more than a puppy, maybe five or six months old. The pup looked to be a cross between a Lab and a German shepherd. He was mostly black, with a small amount of tan above his eyes and on his feet. He was very excited and bouncing up and down, trying to sniff everything in this new environment. Peggy lifted the pup onto the table. She had a card in her hand, which she laid on the table next to me. I read the card. It said that number one fifty three was a mixed Shepherd, six months old. He was surrendered two days ago by a family. Reason of surrender was given as "jumps on children." At the bottom was a note that said "Name: Sam." Peggy was quick and efficient, from lots of practice, I guessed. She laid one fifty three down on his side and tied a rubber tourniquet around his front leg. She turned to fill the syringe from the vial of clear liquid. All this time I was standing at the head of the table. I could see the moment that one fifty three went from a curious puppy to a terrified puppy. He did not like being held down and he started to struggle. It was then that I finally found my voice. I bent over the struggling puppy and whispered "Sam. Your name is Sam." At the sound of his name Sam quit struggling. He wagged his tail tentatively and his soft pink tongue darted out and licked my hand. And that is how he spent his last moment. I watched his eyes fade from hopefulness to nothingness. It was over very quickly. I had never even seen Peggy give the lethal shot. The tears could not be contained any longer. I kept my head down so as not to embarrass myself in front of the stoic Peggy. My tears fell onto the still body on the table. "Now you know," Peggy said softly. Then she turned away. "Ron will be waiting for you." I left the room. Although it seemed like it had been hours, only fifteen minutes had gone by since Ron had left me at the door. I made my way back to the reception area. True to his word, Ron had the puppy all ready to go. After giving me some instructions about what to feed the puppy, he handed the carrying cage over to me and wished me good luck on my speech. That night I went home and spent many hours playing with the orphan puppy. I went to bed that night but I could not sleep. After a while I got up and looked at my speech notes with their numbers and statistics. Without a second thought, I tore them up and threw them away. I went back to bed. Sometime during the night I finally fell asleep. The next morning I arrived at my Speech class with the puppy. When my turn came to give my speech. I walked up to the front the class with the puppy in my arms. I took a deep breath, and I told the class about the life and death of Sam. When I finished my speech I became aware that I was crying. I apologized to the class and took my seat. After class the teacher handed out a critique with our grades. I got an "A." His comments said "Very moving and persuasive." Two days later, on the last day of class, one of my classmates came up to me. She was an older lady that I had never spoken to in class. She stopped me on our way out of the class room. "I want you to know that I adopted the puppy you brought to class," she said. "His name is Sam." WishnYouWell... I had to add the rest of the story in several 'add details' as it was too long for one question. It is all showing up here for me... it ends with the day after the speech. Is that all not showing up for you?

Does anyone know why a big dog would attack a yelping three month old puppy? We've had Sugar-baby (A Pit-bull Lab god only knows what else Mutt) for almost a year, she's always been the sweetest dog. obedient, didn't bark to often, loved to play with everyone, was more likely to lick you to death or beat you up with her wagging tail then hurt someone, but last month we got a (then) two month old puppy, a Pit, Husky, german Shepard mix (cutest little thing, has the pit ears and the Shepard markings, and the husky Undercoat) Sugar-baby had already started to get protective of Lily (the puppy) Our grandfather's dog Angel Doesn't like her so Sugar keeps her away from her. but now, and this behavior only started this week, She's started hurting her. Three days ago, Lily wanted to play while Sugar-baby had a rawhide and sugar bit her then, and just yesterday, my father accidentally stepped on Lily (she hides under the bed-skirt.) and picked her up as she was yelping. During this process, Sugar-baby bolted from the living-room, jumped on the bed to get around my father, and attacked lily so badly she's missing part of her ear now and has three stitches in her neck. Now the ODDEST thing about this is that Sugar-baby seems to feel guilty about this entire thing, and is getting rather Mother hen-ish over the puppy, even more protective of her now that she's injured her so badly and licking what we let her lick (Which is NOT the ear. we don't even let her lick the neck wound) does anyone know what could cause this kind of behavior? And MAN I get long-winded when I'm worried about my babies.

AT What Point Could My Puppy Have Been Saved ? Our Puppy Rocky Has Died Born November 24, 2007 Died May 26, 2008 6 months, 2 days old Our puppy choked on a bone Thursday but seemed o k then, Friday he definitely wasn't himself so we took him Saturday morning to Gilly Animal Clinic, Dr Gilley was gone and another vet was seen. She, don't know her name, did only a visual and manual exam, did NOT order nor suggest x rays , gave what she said was a shot for vitalmins and one for anti inflamatory, and sent us home with what was a dying puppy. Our puppy was very sick, and he acted very ill. He had a perferated diaphram, and had aspirated matter during his choking that went into his lungs causing labored breathing and pneumonia. WE knew none of this because x rays had not been taken when we took him to our vet on Saturday morning. IF THOSE X RAYS had been done and the diagnosis been made, he could have had surgery and probably have lived. He was a 6 month old , healthy, lively puppy. Instead, with this delay, His intestines went into his body cavity through the perferation in the diaphram. And he developed aspiration induced pneumonia. We were sent home with a dying puppy. When he continued to decline, I called Dr Gilley's again and was automatically transferred to an emergency clinic AEC ANIMAL EMERGENCY CLINIC 8429 sw 132 st in Pinecrest Florida 33156, right off u s 1. WE went there, the vet did x rays, several sets, and relieved the swollen stomach but failed to diagonosis the critical condition of our puppy and again we were sent home. THE VET SEEMED PUZZLED BY THE X RAYS and we later learned that these x rays were of such poor quality that they could not be used at the next ER clinic we went to, the vet there was unable to read them clearly. I saw myself how poor they were. Also, I had to use the bathroom at AEC and they were developing the x rays in the bathroom, the facility looked as primitive as their x rays were. That bill was almost $ 900 and we were again sent home with a dying puppy. We still didn't know . My friend who works with Friends Forever Dog Rescue came to my house and was horrified that we had gone to the AEC clinic at sw 132 st, she said that her group wouldn't use them nor go there anymore and referred me to Knowles Animal Clinic E R on Sunset Dr. I only wish to God I had known to go there first, my puppy would probably be alive, I believe that he would be alive today if I had known to go to Knowles E R. I want our vet Dr Gilley to know what a horrible place he is referring his patients to at AEC and to not send any body else to them. I saw myself the primitive x rays taken of my puppy compared to the sharp, clear and difinitive x rays taken at Knowles Clinic, I was sick to my stomach about it. If the vet had had the ability to diagnosis my puppy, he could not have done so from the poor , primitive quality of his x rays , the ones he took at AEC Clinic. My puppy was declining every hour, this vet gave him a shot for pain and he slept in my arms until the shot wore off and he started crying, and so did I, all the way to the clinic of Knowles Snapper Creek, just as soon as the woman from Friends Forever Dog Rescue told me about it. I went immediately to Knowles E R with the x rays and paperwork from the E R we had just left, with my sick dog. The x rays that has been done at AEC on sw 132 st were of such poor quality that the doctor had to take them again. When I saw the 2 sets of x rays up side by side I was shocked. The original x rays from AEC are a disgrace and very, very poor - no wonder the vet couldn't tell what was wrong with our puppy, if he had the ability to diagnosis this at all. The vet at Knowles suggested even before seeing our puppy, from hearing our description of his choking so violently , that choking had caused aspiration induced pneumonia, then when she saw the new x rays, she also saw the serious situation in the lower body of our puppy. She kept our puppy so they could try to help his breathing and stabilize him for probable surgery and he seemed to improve a little by 3 a m. One of the agents at Knowles told us that he was even barking at them, and that he was so cute and she laughed. I was so happy, thinking that my puppy would make it through all this. By morning he was very ill again and in a great deal of pain again. WE all, the family, returned to KNowles and the vet did more x rays with barium and identified the perferation of the diaphram also, but my puppy died when he was given the anastestic, his lungs just wouldn't breathe any more for him. He was crying in agony right up until he went under for his final sleep. And so were all of us in his family. Part of my heart died with my little dog. I had helped him into this world, and bottle fed him when his mom developed eclampsia when he wasn’t yet 3 weeks old, and never in my life have I loved a little creature like I love this puppy, Rocky. I would have done anything to save him, no cost was a factor nor a hesitation for us, we spent our mortgage money on his emergency care, hoping to save him and we are outraged to know now that we went to a primitive E R at AEC Animal Clinic and that he may still be alive if he had been X-rayed professionally and diagonosed then when he still had some strength left in his little body. It took another 24 hours for him to die because of this no-diagnosis and useless X rays, and a vet who didn’t know about the danger of aspiration induced pneumonia. Humans also can have this condition, it is not uncommon in the medical community . We can/t stop crying for our loss, I helped birth this little boy, helped his mother push this baby out into the world, and bottle fed him from when he was not 3 weeks old when his mother got a bacteria infection in her milk, and developed eclampsia. My heart is so heavy, I can hardly breath my self for his death, only 6 months old the day before he died. He had been a healthy and playful puppy, DO NOT GIVE YOUR DOG BONES OF ANY KIND AND D O N O T , D O N O T, TAKE YOUR ANIMALS TO THE AEC E R ANIMAL CLINIC ON SW 132 ST IN PINECREST. - AND KNOW THIS - that Dr Gilly's practice automatically transfers you to when you call after hours. It is a primitive facility without up to date diagnostic equipment. Also when I used the bathroom there, it looked un clean and didn't seem to me to be sanitary either and I don't meant just the bathroom that I used, although they developed the x rays in the bathroom. My dog might be alive if I had gone to Knowles Animal Hospital in the first place the way Friends Forever Dog Rescue does, or to the Hollywood Specialty Clinic off I 95, only 2 blocks to the East on Hollywood Blvd. I did not know of these animal facilities at the time and just went to the one that my call was transferred to when I called our vet's office, Dr Gilley. I didn't know about either Knowles nor about Hollywood Clinic until the woman of the dog rescue Friends Forever told me. I know that I did go to the bathroom while I was at the ER at sw 132 St in Pincrest and that they developed the x rays in the bath room because they told me that is what they were doing. I DO KNOW that the x rays they gave me at AEC E R on sw 132 St Pinecrest, were primitive in comparison to the ones taken at Knowles Clinic, I saw them myself., and I was told that the x rays had to be taken again because of the poor quality of the ones I brought in with me. - I know that my dog died because of ignorance and primitive x rays and not caring enough to check him thoroughly when we took him into Dr Gilleys in the first place in Naranja. If Dr Gilley had seen my dog, would he have ordered x rays ? a barium scan to know about internal damage ? Would he have suspected aspiration induced pneumonia from the description of the choking and condition of our puppy like the vet did at Dr Knowles ? I'll never know and my dog is dead. Make of this what you will, I CURSE that we didn't see Dr Gilley himself, I CURSE we went to the inferior primiitive AEC E R Animal Clinic on sw 132 st in Pinecrest, and that my poor little puppy suffered so much and died. Part of my heart has died with him. If ever I have any emergency of any kind with our pets, I know to go to Knowles E R on Sunset or directly to the Hollywood Clinic - if you care for your pet more than your money, so will you. I am going to give a copy of this to Dr Gilley as well as a copy of the paperwork and x rays and hope that he does not refer any more of his patients to that AEC E R. If there is anything else I can do, I plan to do it. SATURDAY MAY 31, 2008 When Rocky died at the Knowles Animal Hospital, we asked for the X rays when we left and we were told that they wanted to copy them first and that I could pick them up later after they had made the copies. I didn’t protest, I was too heart broken with grief at the loss of our puppy. I called every day after that until I finally went on this day to pick the X rays up and the copy of the situation. I was given the X rays that had been taken at AEC that I had brought in and the paper report on Rocky but I was told that the Xrays taken at Knowles had vanished. That they had to be misplaced somehow, I was assurred that they were not distroyed and that they would be found and given to me. The vet, a Dr McNair was there, she was going to operate on Rocky when he passed away, and she had taken X Rays also, and asked if O K to use a barium to help identify whether or not there was a preferation and where it was if so, before she did the surgery . We said yes of course and now those X rays are also missing. Dr McNair did tell me that it was not the diaphram but the esophagus that had been preferated. Again, I was crying and didn’t think to ask how she determined this, was it from the now missing X rays ? This information seemed to me to be the definitive answer that had been missing until this point. I did a few hours research and made a few calls to vets and it is possible that Rocky damaged his esophagus when he choked. but no bone was ever identified in his system in any of the X rays. If our puppy had been given bariulm and had X rays on that Saturday morning, and if they had been read correctly, and diagnosed as a preferation of the esophagus, Rocky at that point had a good chance to live. There is only a 10 % mortality in this case but if left untreated over 24 hours that mortality probability goes up to 85 % . If there had been a chance for Rocky to survive this, it was lost when we went to the AEC Animal Clinic and the cloudy , primitive x rays were taken that I have enclosed. Why didn’t that vet tell us that he could not diagnose nor treat our puppy at that point and send us to the specialty clinic in Hollywood immediately ? Instead, he ran a tube down Rocky’s esophagus into the stomach and I believe this caused the fatal injury to our puppy. This vet gave him a shot for pain and we left with our dying puppy , not knowing that he was dying, having no definitive answer nor diagnosis, after paying the $ 850 for uleless X rays . I was going to send the X rays taken at the Snapper Creek Knowles Animal Clinic also but they are missing, somehow, I am told. I don’t believe our puppy Rocky had to die like this. Someone needs to be held accountable for Rocky’s painful last days and for our tears and suffering , his human family.

Which part of the script should I use to draw a picture of? Lilo And Stitch Script Read the charges. Dr. Jumba Jookiba-- lead scientist of Galaxy Defense Industries-- you stand before this council accused of illegal genetic experimentation. How do you plead? Not guilty! My experiments are only theoretical-- completely within legal boundaries. We believe you actually created something. Created something?! Ha! But that would be irresponsible and unethical. I would never, ever... make more than one. What is that monstrosity? Monstrosity! What you see before you is the first of a new species. I call it Experiment 626. He is bulletproof, fireproof and can think faster than supercomputer. He can see in the dark and move objects times his size. His only instinct: To destroy everything he touches! So, it is a monster. Hey, just a little one. It is an affront to nature. It must be destroyed! Calm yourself, Captain Gantu. Perhaps it can be reasoned with. Experiment 626 give us some sign you understand any of this. Show us that there is something inside you that is good. Hmm? Meega, nala kweesta! So naughty! I didn't teach it that. Place that idiot scientist under arrest! I prefer to be called evil genius! And as for that abomination... it is the flawed product of a deranged mind. It has no place among us. Captain Gantu, take him away. With pleasure. Hmm. Uncomfortable? Oh... Good! The council has banished you to exile on a desert asteroid. So, relax... enjoy the trip and don't get any ideas. These guns are locked onto your genetic signature. They won't shoot anyone but you. Ow! Why, you...! May I remind the captain that he is on duty. Secure the cell! Aye, Captain. Captain on deck. All ahead full. Do... Does this, uh, look infected to you? Oh! Quiet, you. Gunfire in the cell bay! Open a channel. He's loose on Deck C! Red alert. Seal off the deck! Security, converge on door seven! Deadly force authorized. Fire on sight! There he is! Security to Bridge. It's in the ventilation system. He's headed for the power... grid. What was that? I don't think he's on the ship anymore. Confirmed. He's taken a police cruiser. Yeah... he took the red one. Yee-haw! Hmm?! That's it! We got it. We got it! Hyperdrive activated. System charging. He's engaged his H-drive! Warning-- guidance is not functional. Pursuit Commander that crazy trog is about to make a jump! Break formation! Get clear of that ship! Navigation failure. Do not engage hyper... Get me Galactic Control. Where is he?! He's still in hyperspace. Where will he exit? Calculating now-- quadrant section - - area . A planet called... Ee-arth. I want an expert on this planet in here now! What is that? Water. Most of the planet is covered in it. He won't survive in water. His molecular density is too great. No... Of course. How much time do we have? We have projected his landing at three hours, minutes. Oh, we have to gas the planet. Hold it! Hold everything! Earth is a protected wildlife preserve. Yeah. We've been using it to rebuild the mosquito population which, need I remind you, is an endangered species! Am I to assume you are the expert? Oh, I don't know about expert. Agent Pleakley at your service. Can we not simply destroy the island? No! Crazyhead! The mosquito's food of choice, primitive humanoid life forms have colonies all over that planet. Are they intelligent? No, but they're very delicate. In fact, every time an asteroid strikes their planet they have to begin life all over. It's fascinating, isn't it? With this, I've been able to study... What if our military forces just landed there? Well, that'd be a bad idea! These are extremely simple creatures, miss. Landing there would create mass mayhem and planet-wide panic! A quiet capture would require an understanding of - - that we do not possess! Who, then, Mr. Pleakley, would you send for his extraction? Does he have a brother? Close grandmother, perhaps? Friendly cousin? Neighbor with a beard? He got away? I'm sure this comes as no surprise to you. I designed this creature for to be unstoppable. Which is precisely why you must now bring him back. What? Me? And to reward you we are willing to trade your freedom for his capture. - - will not come easily. Maybe direct hit from plasma cannon might stun him long enough to... Plasma cannon granted. Do we have a bargain, Dr. Jumba? B-B-But it's a delicate planet! Who's going to control him? You will. Very good, Your Highness. I... I didn't quite... Uh, you're notjoking! So, tell me, my little one-eyed one on what poor, pitiful, defenseless planet has my monstrosity been unleashed?

It's sandwich day. Every Thursday, I take Pudge the fish a peanut butter sandwich. Pudge is a fish? And today we were out of peanut butter! So I asked my sister what to give him and she said a tuna sandwich. I can't give Pudge tuna! Do you know what tuna is? Fish? It's fish! If I gave Pudge tuna, I'd be an abomination! I'm late because I had to go to the store and get peanut butter 'cause all we have is-is stinkin' tuna! Lilo, Lilo, why is this so important? Pudge controls the weather. You're crazy. Please! Please! Everybody calm down! Girls... Shh. Lilo... I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I won't do it again! Maybe we should call your sister. No! I'll be good! I want to dance. I practiced. I just want to dance. I practiced. Ooh, she bit me. Eww! I called your sister. She said to wait for her here on the porch. We'll try again on Sunday. Does this look infected to you? Yeah. You better not have rabies. If you have rabies the dogcatcher is going to have to cut... Are you going to play dolls? You don't have a doll. This is Scrump. I made her, but her head is too big. So I pretend a bug laid eggs in her ears, and she's upset because she only has a few more days to... Lilo! Lilo? Lilo? Oh, no. You better be home. Hey! Watch where you're going! Stupidhead! I found a new place to dwell... Oh, Lilo! Lilo! Open the door, Lilo! Go away. ...You make me so lonely, baby... Lilo? We don't have time for this. ...I get so lonely... Leave me alone to die. Come on, Lilo that social worker's going to be here any minute! ...You still can find some room For brokenhearted lovers to cry away their gloom Don't make me so lonely, baby Don't make me so lonely I get so lonely I could die... The bellhop's tears keep flowin'... You are so finished when I get in there! Well, they been so long on Lonely Street They ain't ever gonna look back... Oh, I'm going to stuff you in the blender push puree, then bake you into a pie and feed it to the social worker! And when he says, Mmm, this is great. What's your secret? I'm going to say... Love... and nurturing. Hi. Uh... You must be the, uh... The stupidhead. Oh! Oh... Oh, you know, I'm really sorry about that and if I'd known who you were, of course I never would've... Uh... I can pay for that. It's a rental. Are you the guardian in question? Yes. I'm Nani. Nice to meet you, Mister...? Bubbles. Mr. Bubbles. That's a strange... Yes, I know. Are you going to invite me in, Nani? Uh... I thought we could sit out here and talk. I don't think so. Right. Uh... ...It's always crowded... This way. ...You still can find some room For brokenhearted lovers to cry away their gloom You make me so lonely, baby... Uh... wait here. Hey! So... lemonade? Do you often leave your sister home alone? No. Never. Well, except forjust now. Uh, I had to run to the store to get some... Oh! You left the stove on while you were out? Low heat! Just a simmer. Mmm! It's coming along great. I found that this morning. Lilo! There you are. Honeyface... this is Mr. Bubbles. Nice to meet you. Your knuckles say Cobra. Cobra Bubbles. You don't look like a social worker. I'm a special classification. Did you ever kill anyone? We're getting off the subject. Let's talk about you. Are you happy? I'm adjusted. I eat four food groups and look both ways before crossing the street and take long naps, and get disciplined. Disciplined? Yeah. She disciplines me real good. Sometimes five times a day. -With bricks. -No... Bricks? Uh-huh, in a pillowcase. Okay! That's enough sugar for you. Why don't you run along, you little cutie. The other social workers just thought she was a scream. Thirsty? Let me illuminate to you the precarious situation in which you have found yourself. I am the one they call when things go wrong and things have indeed gone wrong. My friends need to be punished. Call me next time you're left here alone. Yep. In case you're wondering, this did not go well. You have three days to change my mind. -Blah. -Eww! Lilo! Why didn't you wait at the school? You were supposed to wait there! Lilo! Do you not understand? Do you want to be taken away? Answer me! No! No, you don't understand? No! No, what? No! You're such a pain! So why don't you sell me and buy a rabbit instead?! At least a rabbit would behave better than you! Go ahead! Then you'll be happy because it'll be smarter than me, too! And quieter! You'll like it, 'cause it's stinky, like you! Go to your room! I'm already in my room! Hey. I brought you some pizza, in case you were hungry. We're a broken family, aren't we? No. Maybe, a little. Maybe a lot. I shouldn't have yelled at you. We're sisters. It's ourjob. Yeah, well, from now on... I like you better as a sister than a mom. Yeah? And you like me better as a sister than a rabbit, right? Oh... Oh, oh, oh, oh. Yes. Yes, I do. I hit Mertle Edmonds today. You hit her? Before I bit her. You bit her. Lilo, you shouldn't... People treat me different. They just don't know what to say. I'll tell you what. If you promise not to fight anymore I promise not to yell at you, except on special occasions. Tuesdays and bank holidays would be good. Yeah? Would that be good? Oh! My camera's full again. Aren't they beautiful? A falling star! I call it! Get out! Get out! I have to make a wish! Can't you go any faster? Oh, no! Gravity is increasing on me. No, it's not! It is, too, Lilo. The same thing happened yesterday. You rotten sister! Your butt is crushing me! Why do you act so weird?! It's me again. I need someone to be my friend... someone who won't run away. Maybe send me an angel... the nicest angel you have. What we when hit? There it is. It stay jammed under the fender. We better call somebody. We're looking for something that can defend itself... something that won't die... something sturdy, you know? Like a lobster. Lilo, you lolo. Do we have a lobster door? No. We have a dog door. We are getting a dog. So nice to see your pretty face again! Jumba? We need your name and address at the bottom of the form... The kennel's back this way. Go. Pick someone out. Hello? Hello?! Are there any aminals in here? Hello! Hi. Hoh... ha... Hi... Wow! Oh, yes. Mm-hmm. All of our dogs are adoptable. Except that one! What is that thing?! A dog, I think. But it was dead this morning. It was dead this morning?! Well, we thought it was dead. It was hit by a truck. I like him! Come here, boy. Oh! Aah! Wouldn't you like a different dog? We have better dogs, dear. Not better than him. He can talk! Say hello. He... Hel... Dogs can't talk, dear. He did. Does it have to be this dog? Yes, he's good. I can tell. You'll have to think of a name for him. His name is... Stitch. Now, that's not a real name... Hmm. Uh-uh, uh-uh-uh. ...in Iceland... but here, it's a good name. Stitch it is. And there's a two dollar license fee. I want to buy him! Can I borrow two dollars? He's all yours. You're all mine. Well, what's he doing? Shh! Keep quiet. He's listening for us. How good is his hearing? I mean, can he... Why don't you run? Coming! I'm coming! Stop! I have just determined this situation to be far too hazardous! Don't worry, I won't hit her. No! That girl is a part of the mosquito food chain. Here! Educate yourself. Using a little girl for a shield. This is low, even for you! Whoo-hoo! Bah! Tear him apart with all both my bare hands! Have you lost your mind?! What is it, Stitch? We cannot be seen! Bad dog, barking at nothing! You can't shoot, and you can't be seen. Look at you! You look like a monster. We have to blend in. Okay, I got to get to work. Stick around town and stay out of the roads, okay? I'll meet you at : . Hmm? Oh! Ah! Okay, I guess we should be going. What about Stitch? My friends! What do you want? I'm sorry I bit you and pulled your hair and punched you in the face. Apology not accepted. Now get out of my way before I run you over. I got a new dog. His name is Stitch. That is the ugliest thing I have ever saw. -Yeah. -Yeah. Eww! Get it away from me! I'm gonna get a disease! Somebody do something! Oh, great! He's loose. His destructive programming is taking effect. He will be irresistibly drawn to large cities where he will back up sewers reverse street signs and steal everyone's left shoe. It's nice to live on an island with no large cities. Are you okay? Doo-doo... Doo-doo... You can shake an apple off an apple tree Shake-a, shake-a, sugar, but you'll never shake me -Uh-uh-uh -Doo-doo-doo No, siree, uh-uh... Uh-uh. ...Doo-doo-doo Doo-doo-doo I'm gonna stick like glue Stick because I'm... Stuck on you I'm gonna run my fingers Through your long, black hair... Hey, over here, little buddy. ...Squeeze you tighter than a grizzly bear -Uh-uh-uh -Doo-doo-doo Yes, siree, uh-huh Doo-doo-doo, Doo-doo-doo I'm gonna stick like glue Stick because I'm... Stuck on you Hide in the kitchen Hide in the hall Ain't gonna do you no good at all 'Cause once I catch ya and the kissin' starts A team o' wild horses couldn't tear us apart Try to take a tiger from his daddy's side... When you're ready to give up just let us know, heh? Whee! ...Uh-uh-uh... Yeah! This is you. This is your badness level. It's unusually high for someone your size. We have to fix that. Ay-yi-yi, Lilo! Your dog cannot sit at the table. Stitch is troubled. He needs desserts. Oh, you didn't even eat your sweet potato. I thought you liked them. Desserts! David! I got a new dog. Oh! You sure it's a dog? Uh-huh. He used to be a collie before he got ran over. Yum! Hey... Blah! Eww! Howzit, Nani? Did you catch fire again? Nah, just the stage. Listen, I was wondering if you're not doing anything this... David, I told you, I can't. I... I got a lot to deal with right now. I know. I just figured you might need some time... You smell like a lawn mower. Look, I got to go. The kid at table three's throwing poi again. Maybe some other time, okay? Don't worry. She likes your butt and fancy hair. I know. I read her diary. She thinks it's fancy? Blech! Oh! Mmm! Aha! Look what I find! Get restraints! Right. Ow! Take that! Hurry! Uh, hold still just a... Aah! Hey, Nani! Is that your dog? Uh... All is well. Please, go about your business. I'm okay. Oh, your head looks swollen. Actually, she's just ugly. Darling... He's joking. Ugly-- look at me... Uh, this is not working out. Uh, b-but... Mm-mm. Yeah? Well, who wants to work at this stupid... fakey luau anyway. Come on, Lilo. Did you lose yourjob because of Stitch and me? Nah. The manager's a vampire and he wanted me to join his legion of the undead. I knew it. This is a great home. You'll like it a lot. See? Uh, Lilo... Comfy. -Hey! -Hey! What is the matter with you? Be careful of the little angel! It's not an angel, Lilo. I don't even think it's a dog. We just have to take him back. He's just cranky because it's his bedtime. He's creepy, Lilo. I won't sleep while he's loose in the house. You're loose in the house all the time and I sleep just fine! Hey, what are you doing? Stop that, Stitch! Hey! Look at him, Lilo. He's obviously mutated from something else. We have to take him back. He was an orphan and we adopted him! What about O'hana? He hasn't been here that long. Neither have I. Dad said O'hana means family. Huh? O'hana means family. Family means... ...nobody gets left behind. Or...? Or forgotten. I know. I know. I hate it when you use O'hana against me. Mmm. Don't worry, you can sleep right next to me. Look how curious the puppy is. This is my room, and this is your bed. This is your dolly and bottle. See? Doesn't spill. I filled it with coffee. Good puppy. Now get into bed. Hey! That's mine! Down! Mmm! Be careful of that! You don't touch this! Don't ever touch it! No! Don't pull on her head! She's recovering from surgery. No! That's from my blue period. Mmm... There. You know, you wreck everything you touch. Why not try and make something for a change? Ah! Wow. San Francisco. Save me! Eek! No more caffeine for you. This little girl is wasting her time. - - cannot be taught to ignore its destructive programming. Ooh! Push that over. What are you doing? Nothing! Uh, say, I want to try it on. No! Share! Let me try it! Hey! Ow! You're justjealous 'cause I'm pretty! Don't move. A mosquito has chosen me as her perch. She's so beautiful. Look, another one. And another one! Why, it's a whole flock. And they like me! They're nuzzling my flesh with their noses. Now they're, um, they're.... I think it might be a koala. An evil koala. I can't even pet it. It keeps staring at me, like it's going to eat me. Hello? Nani? Hello? Are you there? Now, this is interesting. What? - - was designed to be a monster but now he has nothing to destroy. You see, I never gave him a greater purpose. What must it be like to have nothing... not even memories to visit in the middle of the night? Nah! Hmm. Hmm... That's the Ugly Duckling. See? He's sad because he's all alone and nobody wants him but on this page, his family hears him crying and they find him. Then the Ugly Duckling is happy because he knows where he belongs. Hmm... Want to listen to the King? You look like an Elvis fan. Nani. Nani! Uh... yeah? Look. We can't go on together With suspicious minds... ...cious minds... ...can build our dreams... ...On suspicious minds... Heard you lost yourjob. Well, uh, actually, I just quit thatjob because, you know, the hours are just not conducive to the challenges of raising a child... Hey! I am so sorry about that. What is that thing? That's my puppy. Really? Thus far, you have been adrift in the sheltered harbor of my patience but I cannot ignore you beingjobless. Do I make myself clear? Perfectly. And next time I see this dog I expect it to be a model citizen... capisce? Uh... yes? New job. Model citizen. Good day. You look like an angel... Mrs. Hasagawa? I'm here to answer your newspaper ad. Elvis Presley was a model citizen. ...Walk like an angel... I've compiled a list of his traits for you to practice. Number one is dancing. I can't talk now, dear. I'm waiting for someone to answer my ad. That's why I'm here. Hands on your hips. Now follow my lead. Ooh-hoo. ...You fooled me with your kisses... Ah! That's my want ad. I know! ...Heaven knows how you lied to me You're not the way... Whoa, whoa! Why is everything so dark? I am all about coffee. Let's move on to step two. ...Walk like an angel... Elvis played guitar. Here. ...Talk like an angel... Hold it like this, and put your fingers here. See? Now you try. ...and I make great cappuccinos and lattes with... I wish I could, Nani, but I just hired Teddy and with tourist season ending... Concierge-er-ing is my life. ...You look like an angel... I just love to answer phones... This is the face of romance. ...Walk like an angel... She looks like she could use some lovin'. ...Talk like an angel, but I got wise... Oh, we might have something. Good. Now kiss her. ...The devil in disguise... I'm sure Elvis had his bad days, too. I'm all about saving people? ...I thought that I was in heaven... Actually, I do think we have an opening. Really? Okay, this is it. ...But I was sure surprised... Time to bring it all together. Oh, that'd be so great! You have no idea how badly I need this job. ...The devil in your eyes You're the devil in disguise... It's all you! Knock 'em dead! ...The devil in disguise You're the devil in disguise... Don't crowd him! ...Oh, yes, you are The devil in disguise... The devil in disguise, oh, yes... Hey, knock it off! Hey, Lilo! Howzit... Nani? We've been having a bad day. Hmm... Hey, I might not be a doctor but I know that there's no better cure for a sour face than a couple of boards and some choice waves. What you think? I think that's a great idea. -Aloha e, aloha e -Aloha e, aloha e -'Ano'ai ke aloha e -'Ano'ai ke aloha e -Aloha e, aloha e -Aloha e, aloha e 'Ano'ai ke aloha e 'Ano'ai ke aloha e...

We lost Stitch! Lilo? Lilo, look at me. Look at me, baby. Are you hurt? No. He's unconscious, but I think he's alive. David, take Lilo. This isn't what it looks like. We were... It-It's just that... I know you're trying, Nani but you need to think about what's best for Lilo... even if it removes you from the picture. I'll be back tomorrow morning for Lilo. I'm sorry. Nani? Is there something I can do? No, David. Uh, I need to take Lilo home now. We have a lot to talk about, Lilo. Thanks. You know, I really believed they had a chance. Then you came along. Lilo, honey... we have to, uh... Don't worry. You're nice, and someone will give you a job. I would. Come here. Aloha Oe, Aloha Oe E ke onaona noho i ka lipo One fond embrace, a ho'i a'e au Until we meet again. That's us before... It was rainy, and they went for a drive. What happened to yours? I hear you cry at night. Do you dream about them? I know that's why you wreck things and push me. Our family's little now and we don't have many toys but if you want, you could be part of it. You could be our baby and we'd raise you to be good. O'hana means family. Family means nobody gets left behind but if you want to leave, you can. I'll remember you, though. I remember everyone that leaves. L... L... Lost. I'm lost. Help! I don't like the ocean! Oh, look, a friendly little dolphin. They helped sailors in the war... It's a shark! It's a shark, and it ain't friendly! It looks like a dolphin. Tricky fish! Tricky fish! Oh, octopus, come and help me? An octo... octopus is worse than a shark! I hate this planet! Oh... little monster! Uh, Agent Pleakley here. I have lost patience with you both. Have you captured - - or not? Um... Uh-uh... Consider yourselves fired and prisonbound. Your incompetence is nothing short of unspeakable! But, uh... mm... We're fired! Now we do it my way! Your way? Oh... uh, wait! It seems I have overestimated Jumber and Blinkley. Uh, Jumba and Pleakley. Whatever. The mission is in jeopardy. This could be your chance to redeem yourself, Captain Gantu. How soon will you be prepared to leave? Immediately. Don't run. Don't make me shoot you. You were expensive. Yes. Yes, that's it. Come quietly. Mm... waiting. For what? Family. Ah! You don't have one. I made you. Oh... maybe I could... You're built to destroy. You can never belong. Now come quietly and we will take you apart. No, no, no, no, don't, don't run! Don't run! Lilo. I didn't hear you get up. Baby, what's wrong? Stitch left. Really? It's good he's gone. He didn't want to be here, anyway. We don't need him. Lilo... sometimes you try your hardest but things don't work out the way you want them to. Sometimes things have to change and maybe sometimes they're for the better... even if... Nani! David! I think I found you a job. You what?! Old man Kukhkini's store, but we got to hurry. Oh, um, okay. Lilo? Baby, this is really important. I need you to stay here for a few minutes. I'm going to be right back. Lock the door and don't answer it for anyone, okay? Things are finally turning around. Aw, David, I owe you one. That's okay. You can just date me, and we'll call it even. Come back here, you little...! Stitch? What is it? Shh! Oh, hiding behind your little friend won't work anymore. Didn't I tell you? We got fired this morning. New rules. Ha! Ooh. Oh, ooh! Ow! Ow! Ow! You ain't nothin' but a hound dog... What are we going to do? ...Cryin' all the time... Ooh! I love this song! Pliers. Screwdriver. Check. Come out, my friend from whomever you're hiding behind. ...Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit And you ain't no friend of mine... What the...? Ooh! Come on! What's the big deal? I'll put you back together again. I'll make you taller and not so fluffy! I like fluffy! No... No... No! Oh, leave my mother out of this! You could do with a makeover. I tried to give you my good looks but let's face it, something went wrong. No! Quick! Follow me! If we make it to... You're alive! They're all over the place! Running away? Here... let me stop you. You always get in the way! Where's the girl? What have you done to the girl? Hello? Cobra Bubbles? Aliens are attacking my house. No, no, no! No aliens! Blue punch buggy! No punch back. They want my dog! There's no need to alert the authorities. Everything's under control. Lilo, who was that? Oh, good, my dog found the chainsaw. Lilo! Don't hang...! Ha! You shouldn't play with guns. Oh, okay. Thank you. Oh, I just remembered. It's your birthday! Happy birthday! Merry Christmas! It's not Christmas. Happy Hanukkah! We're leaving Stitch? Trust me. This is not going to end well. -One potato. -Two potato. -Three potato. -Four. -Five potato. -Six potato. Seven potato, more. My... mother... told... me... you... are... it. Oh, I win! Thanks. Mahalo plenty. You won't be disappointed. I'll show up early to help with the morning deliver... Oh, don't turn left. No. One of them had a giant eye in the middle of his face. Oh, Lilo! Please don't do this. You know I have no choice. No! You're not taking her! I'm the only one who understands her! You take that away, she won't stand a chance! You're making this harder than it needs to be. But you don't know what you're doing! She needs me! Is this what she needs?! It seems clear to me that you need her a lot more than she needs you. Lilo! Lilo! -Lilo! -Lilo! Lilo! -Lilo! -Lilo! You ruined everything. You're one of them? Ooh! Get out of here, Stitch. Surprise! And here I thought you'd be difficult to catch. Ho-ho-ho. Silly me. Lilo? Lilo! There you go, all buckled up for the trip. And look-- I even caught you a little snack. No! Stop! Lilo. Aah! Okay, talk. I know you had something to do with this. Now where is Lilo? Talk! I know you can. Okay, okay. Where's Lilo? Lilo... Now all your washing is up! You're under arrest! Read him his rights. Listen carefully. Hello? Galactic Command? Experiment 626 is in custody. We'll wait right here. Huh? Don't interact with her. Where's Lilo? Who? What?! Lilo... my sister. Uh, sorry, we do not know anyone by this, uh... Lilo! She's a little girl-- this big! She has black hair and brown eyes and she hangs around with that thing! Uh... We know her. Bring her back. Oh, we can't do that. Uh-uh. That would be a misuse of Galactic resources. See, problem is... we're just here for him. So she's gone? Look at the bright side. You won't have to yell at anyone anymore. Come. O'hana. Huh? Hey! Get away from her. No! What did you say? O'hana means family. Family means... ...nobody gets left behind. Or forgotten. Yeah. Hey... What?! After all you put me through you expect me to help you just like that?! Just like that?! Ih.

Why cant i get my fiances mom to let my dogs inside? This might be long but here it goes, I need peoples opinions on what i can do for my puppies. I don't want to find a new home for them but its looking like i might have to. Here's the story. ........................... My fiance got me two beagle puppies around 7 months ago, best gift ive ever gotten. I love animals to me they are my children. When we got them they were in the house in the room with us in a little sleep pen, almost like a baby's play pen. After a few weeks his mother Demanded they have crates. So even with a low paying job i saved and got them 2 crates which cost me around $120. I didn't complain though i wanted them so i was up for the responsibility. After weeks past she suggested a pen, the outdoor kind. Just for them to play in durning the day of course. Well I thought that'd be nice, them having a little area for them to play in outside. So once i saved another $120 i got them a 10x10 pen. She claimed for the day only. For a few weeks it went that way them after a while they stayed out there all day all night. Which made me pissed off but what could i do its her house. I got told once it gets cold they can come in at night so i let it happen. Well now its cold and no, they dont get to come in there out their in a dog house in a small pen miserable. According to her they are outside dogs dont belong in the house cause there gross. BUT her dog, who yes, is a cute pomeranian is inside, but she doesnt even go out to pee if its cold. So pretty much she pisses and poops in the house all day but its ok,Shes her baby. But when i say their my babies and i think there adorable she tells me to stop kidding myself there not cute. Well to me they are, ive never seen a cuter more loving pair of dogs................... Im basically asking everyones opinion on what i can do. They recently got out and went missing. You would think when they got back it would be different but it isnt they still get called stupid dumb dog, by everyone but me and my fiance, and i constantly get told to get rid of them. Does any one have any opninion on it??? I dont want them to go they mean the world to me. But im starting to think it is the only thing i can do against a One minded bitch, pardon my french but its true. Heh well moving isnt an option atm. We dont make enough money he is finishing up getting his automachanics degree. Unfotunatly we have to wait it out. I also had 2 cats if that matter. One got tossed outside and she tells me she sees him all the time. Which is a lie, the other is getting told by my fiance to get put outside and thankfully he has been keep him in. The bitches is non stop from this women. NOTHING is goos enough not the way i dress, act, look, speak. I mean she yells at me cause im shy and dont like to talk much. Just to give ervyone a little more on how, in my opinion, stupid this lady is. Beleive me id kick her a** if i could but i dont want to get kicked out. He still lives here with here and i want to be with him. Its her thats the problem. I mean, everyone thinks there mother in law is a bitch but i really think mine truely is. And he has stood up to her but didnt mean anything. She didnt care. It seems hopeless and that the best thing to do is be miserable and re-home them. The are beagles. They are not that big. MEdium size. Im not saying have them run around but seriously keep them licked outside in the cold all day and night? Heartless much? I want to make this clear i understand this is her house so her rules. But im not saying let them run around the house all day im saying let them sleep in the damn house where its warm and dry. *locked sorry Honestly i would hate to get rid of them i really would. WE plan on moving out in 1-2 years. Which currently my loving parents have ALL me other pets an agreed to take care of them for me till i have a place. I have 6 cats another two dogs and 3 ferrets. To let yal know how much i love animals. And yes it is alot but they all get VERY well taken care of and plenty of love. I do look after my animals, every single one of them so dont go off saying i dont. They are at my parents house but when i say parents house i mean where i use to live not to long ago until i moved in with my fiance. Even my brother still lives there. These are animals i have had. Not recently gotten. I have had one of the dogs for over 13 years and the other for 3. My cats are 4 and ferrets about the same. This isnt my house and do i had to leave them at my old residence with my parents and brother. That does not mean i dont take care of them. Obviously we are not settled down and have a place of our own. We hope to soon but not currently just because my parents would rather them stay with them instead of getting treated like my other dogs are currently i dont see a problem witht that.

If my dog got a vasectomy.... can his sperm be collected still? I recently discovered my dog still has his little balls after having been fixed.... And I was really regretting fixing him cause this little guy is such a cute dog I would have loved for him to have puppies. Can sperm of a dog that had a vasectomy be collected to impregnate another dog?? My family wants his babies! im not cruel. how is that cruel? No you're right. I am going to ADOPT my next dog from a shelter. Sorry if my question seemed ridiculous and I love my dogs. I take GREAT care of them I should have them till they get old and die of natural causes. They are like my kids and were both neutered. Come on dont be mean, some answers were silly. I LOVE MY PUPS LIKE THEY WERE MY KIDS! but yes they are good looking dogs and I felt if they had puppies I would help better their bloodline! Thanks for your answers. Too bad they are 100% FIXED =D They are white perfect pomeranians....... tiny and beautiful Yeah, think twice before you call someone a cruel person. It is hurtful especially because they are like my children. I devote 100% of my time to them. I shall have them until they die of natural causes. I did want to breed one of my puppies because I love my pups and wanted more of them. My mother wanted a clone of my dog because they are so sweet and beautiful. They make great companions. My aunt... same reason.... Im not cruel, Im a GREAT PUPPY MOMMA! Thanks and it was mean what 2 of you said........

What are your dogs names?! how did you pick them?!? I love to hear about how people come up with the names of their dogs (and other animals) these are mine: Lilly (Pit bull)- she looked just like her mother so we named her after her mom! Stevie Knicks (Jack Russell)- LOVE the singer stevie knicks, and the name Stevie fits my little GIRL perfect!!! Sweater Beep- (tiny mix)- when Beep was little she tried to bark but it was so tiny it sounded like a beep. she was also always sooo cold so we made her a sweater and so she got the name Sweater Beep or just Beep. Alexander The Great- (Great dane) Alex is my giant baby, I wanted something handsome and powerful but that cut down to something easy and cute: ALEX!!! Apollo (Orange Tabby Cat)- I found him under a car, and he was such a beautiful fire orange i named him after the sun god Apollo. Possom- (cat) Possom NEVER moved when she was little, her head just flopped back and she would almost hang upside down when looking at you... and the spelling makes is original too! ReRe- I adopted a kitten who has mental retardation that causes her to have no sense of balance or coordination, I know its mean, but she is soooo cute! What about yours?!?!!? PS- once we found a 4 week old puppy in a dumpster and i named him Howie for (How we get like this?!) LOL Sorry guys i am having a boring day at work and i am just curious!

Puppy safe paint??? I bought this cute wooden bone shaped dog food bowl holder. It stands about 10 inches of the ground and has 2 steel bowls. Currently it is blue but my baby is a little girl. I bought it with the idea of painting it and decorating it for her. While at the store buying spray paint I thought about toxins!! Is there a safe paint for this project????????????????????????? I always see pretty painted dog bowls - what type of paint do they use????

When should you start training my puppy? A little backgrough info. He is 6 weeks old, and is a lab/pit mix. This is the same as the dog we loved the most was. He is just so cute and playful, we didnt know how our 2 year yellow lab(duke) would take it with a puppie in the house. He gets jelous somtimes but its so cute to watch them play together. I think sassy (the puppies name) misses her family, and duke kinda makes up for that. We were surprised when let her sleep with duke last night that they didnt make a sound. I think he just has that fatherly instinct. But dont know. Its just so cute at how gentle he is with her, just like when my baby causins come over. But then plays rough with me. Anyways, on to the question. When should we start training her, and what could we do about her chewing on things, i know that she is teething and we dont want her to mistake a toy for a shoe and are only going to get her alot of 1 type of toy. But what would be good for a puppy?

which dog should i get? i want to buy a small puppy that doesnt grow big, only about 12 lbs or less as an adult!! im thinking a shih tzu would be the best since they're so cute as a baby! is there any better breeds that are very small too? and if i do get a shih tzu, should i get a male or female? ** I WANT A SUPER CUTE LITTLE PUPPY THAT LOVES BEING HELD!! **

Please help me to understand how to get my dog not to pee or poop in the house!? Okay,I admit it I was doing it wrong and have since learned that the way to train a dog to not relieve themselves in the house was definitely not to rub their nose in their waste(even though I have seen it done and work by old people).But remember our grandparents did it that way because they saw people do it that way long before them.Yes,they were wrong.I haven't had a baby dog since I was 17.I am 37 now.My first dog never had to learn about house breaking because he stayed outside in a very comfortable Californian environment for his whole life in a perfect dog house,baths every few days,manicuring and everything good for him.and when he died I cried just as hard as when my mother died. My only job ever while living at home and when he moved in with me was just picking poop up from the yard.Now I have 2 dogs in Thailand.My first is a year old and was a 0 problem in house training.She made a stink,maybe 3 times in the house and like dream dog never did it again and never has since.My new girl is almost impossible to train.Yes,I made the mistake by rubbing her nose in it.I didn't understand.All old people have always said that is what to do.Okay,Okay,Okay!I don't spank my child and I don't fight with my wife.I want to make it understood that I am a nice person.I love my family and that includes my dogs.But I don't know how to stop this puppy from doing its thing in the house.Everyday,10 times a day it poops and pees in the house.I pick her up and take her outside in the middle of doing it.Most of the time I am emotionless,trying just to reinforce the idea of saying"Go do your thing out side." in a nice way.But sometimes I get frustrated when she looks me in the face and starts peeing and I shout "Blah,go pee outside!" She whines and runs when I am not obviously even thinking of touching her and runs out the door like she is doing it on purpose.It is like she thinks peeing in the house is the right thing and peeing outside is the wrong thing.I pet her when she goes outside and reinforce her positively but it seems like doing it inside is what she wants.She can be out all night and pee within 15 minutes when let into the house.She is the funniest little cute girl.I love her but she is not so good on the peeing and pooping the house subject.My sisters dog and my 2nd never had this problem.They learned twice as fast as my new puppy.I know that every life has a different personality as to how they learn, that is why I'm asking.What can I do?I and my wife don't like stepping on poop right outside our bedroom door(which is her favorite place to go) when going to the bathroom at night and when we keep her outside she does her thing almost instantly when we let her in even after being out all night.Help!

Stray puppy? Need help Training!? Ok so the other night my husband, my Pom., and I heard whinning outside during the night. The next morning I got up and looked outside and a puppy was on my front stoop. I brought her in and she was covered in fleas and starving. I fed and bathed her and cried over the dirt and fleas coming off of her. I put her in a crate and went to work, when I got home I took her to the vet. She is in great health. She is so sweet and does her business outside. We have decided to keep her but she is a Rottweiler mix and I just a little unsure on how to train her properly so she will be a sweet baby like she is now. I also have a small dog(the pom) and a large cat. I just wanted some tips and encouragement on how to raise a large breed dog. Thanks so much for your answers. We just want to do right by her.( Btw we named her Shelby and the Poms name is Bentley(just thought that was cute because of the car references, not that you care what their names are) :) We had her vaccinated and dewormed. Bentley is very jealous of her but they play really well. Bentley is only 10 months old. The Pom(Bentley) is pretty well behaved. We are having potty training issues with him because he is a male. He has become a little aggressive over food and toys since the puppy has come into the picture but we are trying to correct that. I was just wondering also what experience everyone had the the chain pet store training classes.

help? i know everyone asks this, but i need help so so bad!? ok. i know everyone asks this, but HOW CAN I MAKE MY DAD SAY YES TO GETTING A PUPPY? ok. i even have it planned out. the puppy i want is a yorkie. he is litter trained! i don't think my dad knows this though... i have 2 dogs, 2 bunnies, and a cat. he gets along with the cat and the cat will get along with him. the dogs won't get along with the puppy though:( BUT. i already have this planned. i can pay for the pup. here are the emails the lady and i have been sending: me: hi! i just wanted some information on your free yorkie on www.puppiessale.com thanks! her: Hello, Thanks for your interest in this my beautiful Yorkshire terrier puppy.He is a pure breed Yorkshire terrier.The puppy is the tea cup yorkie."Lincoln" is his name and he is a male puppy.He is 16 weeks old and pure breed. He weighs 1.7pounds and as full grown will weigh 4.2pounds.current he is on all his vaccine and shots.he has gone through a month of socialization classes before leaving the facility. These classes consist of name acknowledgment, puppy pad and doggies litter box training, leash training, etc.more over he is on a NuVet Plus Vitamins which helps build healthy immune systems. He is AKC registered and little did i know that i had to obtain a stamp from an AKC registrar before traveling internationally with the puppy since we had to pay a visit to my husband who is working with the World Health Organization (WHO). They are currently working on a 3 year health program for the fight against Mother to child transmission of HIV and AIDS.They are currently working in Cameroon found in Central Islands of Africa, and in less than 6 weeks from now,they shall be traveling to another African country (Ivory Coast) to continue their health activities. So due to the lack of that stamp which i did not procure from AKC registrar we have thus been held hostage at the Bali International Airport in our attempt to spend our holiday with my husband in Cameroon by the custom officials because of the lack of the stamp from the Kennel registrar. I have been told that the puppy cant enter Cameroon unless i present the AKC stamp from the American Kennel Club Registrar.It thus mean that if i have to do all this,i will have to go back to the USA and that will mean a lot of money. So i have been given 2 options either to repatriate the puppy back to USA,OR he will be qurantined here in Cameroon.it sounds so disturbing hearing that our much cherished baby await to be quarantined. I have thus advertised him so that anybody who will be able to pay the repatriation cost should pay and own this my lil angel.if you are ready for that,i will thus need to know your detailed address,phone number and the nearest international airport to you.below are some pictures of my lil angel I await your reply soon. me: that's such a cute name!!!! and a cute puppy! do you know how much a repatriation cost is? thanks! her: hello thanks for getting back to me in regard of the puppy.the repatriation fee is $95 to have him send back to the US i think this is fair since i can pay for it. even the food. my mom and brother REALLY want it. and my dad just keeps saying no! i don't know why!!!!!!!!!! please tell me what to do!!!!!!!!!!! help? i have seen the dog! there are pics!

My dog is Terrified of Water? My dog is so afraid of water but i really don't know why when he was a small puppy and i bathed him in the sink (cute baby pics :D) and the water wasn't too hot or cold and he seemed fine but as he got a little bigger i had to move him to the bath tub and he was so afraid i kept the water the same temp and everything but he kept trying to get out and run away so now thats hes really big i tried bathing him outside with the water hose and seems almost impossible he runs away when i try to get him in the little bath thing but since its way colder outside i just thought he was afraid of the coldness so i convinced my parents to let me bathe him in the tub and he ran out and got the carpets all soapy and wet i feel like ive done everything. i bathed him in everyplace i can possibly think of ive bought different shampoos i got ijn my swimsuit and tryed to show him bathing is fun but he just hates water so how do i get him to take him bath? P.S i only bathe him once a month (vet told me too) Hes a mix of shepherd/chow/and husky (at least thats what the papers said) He wont get near me if theres water present http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2sb7fbm&s=4 http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2jchm38&s=4 Baby pic :) i see the sheperd and maybe the husky but i really dont see much chow he doesnt have any blue on his tongue and hes not poofy he has short legs tho :P

I have a complicated question regarding my puppy? I find myself to be in a pretty bad situation: I was looking for a small dog ( I live in a condo) for a couple months I looked around at all the local shelters but no luck (all the dogs were pretty big except for the chihuahuas) My bf wanted to buy a puppy from a pet shop and I said no! (being aware of what goes on in puppy mills) Well we looked and looked and one day he took home the cutest yorkie I have ever seen and I immedietly fell in love...he got him from a pet shop and swore the owner said ''he gets them from a very small breeder, that only sells to him''. I kept him (guilt and all). Well just after a few days of having him we took him to a vet to get him checked out and it turns out he has Parvo Virus! The pet shop is picking up all of the vet bills... I guess thats what I deserve for being so naive and listening to the lies of a greedy pet shop owner... after just a few days I spent with my little baby I am verrry attached and there is a 50/50 chance he's not gonna make it. (He's getting better though) I am torn because the pet shop owner has offered a refund. Heres the problem: 1. I do not want my money to support puppy mills (I KNOW we made a huge mistake in the first place) 2. I am attached to the lil' guy and do not want to desert him when he needs me the most Any Suggestions of what I should do? I want to make it clear I KNOW I made the wrong choice of accepting a puppy from a pet store and I feel guilty enough as it is!

Is it normal for my almost 5 month old puppy to still be so attached to her Mommy? I have 3 wonderful Shetland Sheepdogs. Emma is my female. Toby is my male. And little Maybel is the baby. She was the runt that we decided to keep. She isn't trying to nurse and hasn't for months now but it's like she HAS to be around Emma 24-7 and Emma acts like she could care less. Maybel is constantly jumping all over Mom and biting her back and tail. Emma just ignores it. She's more into playing fetch or chasing deer, squirrels, and seagulls. Little Maybel loves to mimic everything the big dogs do, it is very cute. Most of the time, you can tell she doesn't even know what she's barking at or chasing. She just tags a long! If she gets too far behind, she starts whimpering while running her little gawky legs off (it's too cute!). I'm just worried that she is too attached. She is always around atleast one of her parents. Emma goes to agility classes so that's the only time they are separated. And I want Maybel to be a people dog but right now, she's more of a dog dog! By dog dog, I mean she'd prefer to be around Mom and Dad than me. I think taking her to basic obedience and basic agility by herself would be a good idea, don't you? Emma is the oldest and definitely, the most spoiled. I feel awful but she is my favorite and I know it's my fault for playing favorites! I've just gotten very close to her especially working so much on agility and obedience. I'm hoping little Maybel will follow in her footsteps. Should I bring Maybel with to her classes and have her watch? She might even learn just from watching! If you have more than one dog, how do make sure they all have alone time with just you so they all feel equally loved! Thank God I'm not a parent! I'm afraid I'd play favorites with my kids. I'm not saying that I don't take wonderful care of my dogs and give them lots of love but Emma certainly is spoiled and she can be bratty. I want Maybel to be more independent as well! She is like their little shadow! Any suggestions? And yes, I have had Emma and Toby fixed now. One litter was plenty and the other 3 pups went to GREAT homes and I'm receiving updates with photos and lots of thanks so it was rewarding. By the way, do you like the name,Maybel?

Is it typical for Bernese Mountain Dogs to be so attached? I have five amazing and beautiful Berners back home, but I am up at college. It's very tough being away from my babies, especially my little girl. She gave birth at a young age last year, she was almost 2, due to accidental pregnancy. To make a long story short, we have a handsome male who is an absolute sweetheart but he has had kidney issues since he was a pup. None of the doctors knew what was wrong, so we never spayed him because they told us he would not be able to reproduce. I was training my little girl, Carly, to become a therapy dog and had hoped for her to become pregnant later on. However that was not the case. She had seven amazing puppies, and we kept three! I took care of Carly ever since I was a sophomore in highschool. Her crate was placed in my bedroom as a young puppy and I was responsible for cleaning up after her and taking care of her, but my parents always helped more than I care to admit. We grew to be very close. I've always been close with all of the dogs, but she (and one of her pup's in particular) is attached to my hip. When I left for college, which I felt so guilty for, she would act up around the house and chew things up. She knows better than that. A few weeks would pass and she would be fine, but as soon as I go home she cannot let me out of her sight. Sometimes she'll be sitting a room away but she still can see me from where she's at. She always has to place her head and push her body through my legs and pushes all the other dogs out of the way. Lexi, another one thats attached to me, doesn't like this and pushes Carly back out of the way. This only causes Carly to bark constantly. The other day I was home visiting and my boyfriend came over. He pinched me and I said "Ow" joking around, wasn't even loud. She came running over and looked up. He thought it was cute, which I have to admit I did too. She would NEVER bite somebody. I know her and her playful personality but when he did it again, she started growling and it led into a deep bark. She pushed her way between us and kept staring up at him. Is it normal for her to be this way or have I caused too much stress for her? I feel so bad about leaving her, but I have no other choice. Due to family issues and me being homesick, I may be transfering to a closer college next year but I still feel awful for doing this to her. Maybe you two would like to train her because she's an amazing dog besides the fact that she is attached. So what? Unlike most people who breed Berners, we aren't in it for the sake of making a name for ourselves or just owning something expensive. We care about them and LOVE them very much. Dogs behave a lot worse than that all the time. It's kind of necessary that I go to college, so clearly that is not going to change. Yes my parents are home with the dogs. They also have other responsibilities to take care of and if thats the worse our dogs ever do, those are some amazing dogs. We consider our dogs part of the family, not work slaves like it seems you would prefer. Yes maybe she needs to see that I'm not leaving her for good, but was that my question? Nope =] Thanks for reading correctly.

Breeding Brother and Sister Dogs? OK well.........my cousins and her friend bought 2 chihuahua puppies from a litter and one got a girl and one got a boy so i went over to there house to help them out (they don't know a thing about dogs!) so i offered to help,so anyway while we were playing with the pups i said "how cool you guys have a set a little girl and a little boy there so cute together they will grow up together like children" and my cousin starts laughing and says "like children! more like lovers! I'm going to breed them!" so i told her "what i donut think the baby's will turn out right!" so then i told her not to and they should be fixed she said "the only way i wont breed them is if i have proof!"so i want to know if i am right? and it is bad to breed siblings? and what will happen if you breed siblings? and what affect will the baby have? ect.ect. and also if you have a link i can read and print out for my cuz, would be great! Thank You So much!

Nine months later you give birth to a gorgeous baby girl, she has blonde hair and the most adorable blue eyes, what do you call her? 2) When your little princess is five you and your husband decide that the time is right to try for another child. He is born two weeks late and is incredibly big at 10lbs 5oz. He has curly brown hair and emerald eyes, what do you name him? 3) Two years later you have your third child, a little girl. She is like a little doll and was so tiny at birth that you were afraid she'd break if you held her. She has blonde hair and blue eyes just like her sister, you pick a really girly name for her. 4) You soon realize that your tiny city flat won't accommodate any more children so you and your husband decide to move house. This involves giving up your job as a reporter and your husband being repositioned somewhere else as a sports coach. You both decide that this is worth it and one month after the move you discover you are pregnant again. When he is born he has the chubbiest cheeks and curly golden brown hair. Pick a traditional name for this little cherub. 5) A year after your second son was born you conceive again, you opt to find out the sex and are delighted to find out that it will be another girl. Your husband picks the first name Sarah, what would her middle name be? 6) A year after you've had Sarah you feel your broodiness kicking in again and are desperate to try again. This time it is a boy and you want to name him something classic that has a trendy nickname. 7) Your youngest son is two and once again you get that need for more children so you try again but it takes a long time for you to conceive and you have a complicated pregnancy. He is born six weeks early and has to stay in the intensive care unit for ages. He has ginger hair and the cutest little stubby nose, you decide to name him after a family member. 8) When your cute little son is one year old you decide to try just once more, you conceive easily and are shocked to find out it's twins! They are fraternal twin girls, one has mousey blonde hair and blue eyes and the other long ginger hair but with the exact same colour eyes. You decide that their middle names will be Charlotte and Lynn. 9) You went to a party and well... things got out of hand, nine months later you have an adorable little boy. He has curly brown hair and puppy-dog brown eyes, what do you name him? 10) You have your hands full with ten children and were certainly not planning on having any more, but one night your protection fails and you find out you are pregnant with twin boys. They are identical and both have short brown hair and dark brown eyes, you want there to be some realation between their middle names. Did you like it? Sorry it was a bit long! Yeah, ok, it was based on cheaper by the dozen :)

Is this a good book? I'm currently writing this book. Is this good? The hallway buzzed with noise as Mabel tried to squish through the crowd. “ Oh my gosh! Isn’t this cool?!”, Noah grabbed Mabel’s shoulders and screamed. Noah cleared her throat. “I mean, it’s the first day of middle school and…” She stopped and stared at the group of football players as if they were rock stars. Mabel stared at the group. Noah pulled out her vanilla Lip Smacker and smiled. “Look, there’s Robert!”, she said smacking her glossy lips and smiling. Mabel sighed. Robert has been her only crush since second grade and during the summer, she promised herself that this year, in seventh grade, she would make him hers. She just wondered why he never hung out with her or even said a word to her. Is it because she wasn’t pretty enough? Or was it because he didn’t like girls who stuck their noses in books and paid attention in class like Mabel. As a straight-A student, she only cared about education. If she got a C or lower, he he hallway buzzed with noise as Mabel tried to squish through the crowd. “ Oh my gosh! Isn’t this cool?!”, Noah grabbed Mabel’s shoulders and screamed. Noah cleared her throat. “I mean, it’s the first day of middle school and…” She stopped and stared at the group of football players as if they were rock stars. Mabel stared at the group. Noah pulled out her vanilla Lip Smacker and smiled. “Look, there’s Robert!”, she said smacking her glossy lips and smiling. Mabel sighed. Robert has been her only crush since second grade and during the summer, she promised herself that this year, in seventh grade, she would make him hers. She just wondered why he never hung out with her or even said a word to her. Is it because she wasn’t pretty enough? Or was it because he didn’t like girls who stuck their noses in books and paid attention in class like Mabel. As a straight-A student, she only cared about education. If she got a C or lower, her mom would start a long conversation about “if you don’t have the grades, Mabel, you may never get into Harvard. You need to take education seriously. Now go study and promise me a better test next time.” Mabel would nod her head and run off to her room. Mabel knew it was because of that. Noah, Mabel’s best friend since kindergarten, was cool and never shy. In be fact, Mabel would be totally jealous of her because on top of being a straight-B student, she was cute, friendly, funny, and had adorable style. Hmm…what if Robert likes Noah? Mable wondered to herself. She was stunned. “Noah, do you think that I’m…you know, geeky?” Noah looked down at the floor. “Um…well, you’re not that geeky, you’re just…” Mabel interrupted, “Nerdy?” Noah nearly yelled out “Yes!” Mabel stared her. She was right. The two headed to the girls bathroom. “Are you sad?” asked Noah as she applied mascara and pink eye shadow. Mabel finished tying her shoes and let out a calm “No.” Noah smiled and said, “Perfect! My make up is so perfect. No smudges, no colors getting mixed up!” Mabel giggled, “Your pink eye shadow doesn’t match your dark red lips”. Noah grinned and started to sing “Ain’t no other man”. “You look and sing just like a miniature Christina Aguilera!” Mabel said while putting on nail polish. There was no one else in the bathroom and they felt relaxed. Rrrrring! “Oh my gosh! We’re gonna be late!” Noah struggled to pack up her cosmetics in her purple pouch. “Wait!”, screamed Noah, “my lips got smudged!” Mabel sighed. Why was it that Mabel only needed nail polish to feel beautiful while Noah needed the whole enchilada? Noah finally found a light shade of lavender and wiped it all over her lips. She put on a coat of her signature vanilla Lip Smacker. They rushed out of the bathroom and into the classroom. The teacher stared at them. He was a bald man with round, black glasses and he had on a button-down shirt, a tie with prancing elves, and tuxedo pants. “You girls got lucky. Class starts in one more minute but everyone else came early. Guess they’re all excited about stepping up and becoming seventh graders.” They took the seats in the front next to each other. A couple seconds later, the teacher announced “Five, four, three…” Amber, Raquel, Ashley, and Anna rushed in right when he was going to say “two”. Mabel and Noah looked at each other and mouthed the words “popular girls”. This group is even worse than all the bullies. These girls were so preppy and girly and Amber was the head of them. It was her who said what do and what not to do and everyone else in her crew did exactly what she said and she treated them like servants. They even wore matching clothes and today, it was plaid Bermuda shorts, sparkly tank tops, and ballet flats. The group took the seats right next to Robert. Amber worked up her charm and flirted with Robert. Mabel grunted and played around with the key chain in the pocket of her hoodie. “No more being a nerd,” she whispered to herself. Apparently, Noah heard and winked. She then whispered, “Good idea, Mabel!” The teacher cleared his voice and in a soft therapist voice said, “Hello students. My name is Mr. Smith and I’m going to be your history teacher.” Everyone stared at him as if he was speaking another language. As always, Mabel knew that Mr. Smith would be a great teacher. Mr. Smith pulled out a box of textbooks and passed them out. “Everyone, please to turn to page 6. Please silently read this section on ancient Egypt.” Everyone got right to work and started reading while Mr. Smith sat down at his desk. He jotted down things on a notebook. Half an hour later, when everyone was finished reading, he passed out slips of paper to everyone. “Please put your slip into the hat on my desk”, he pointed to his desk “we will be starting our ancient Egypt projects and now we are picking partners.” Mabel’s heart started pounding. The only way that Robert could notice me is if I worked with him on a project, she thought. “The first pair is Rachel and Chris.” Mable was shocked. Who knew Rachel, the sophisticated wannabe-lawyer would wound up with the kid who did arm farts in front of the teacher? “The next pair is Noah and Robert.” Mabel almost cried. How could this be? But then she calmed down. What if she used Noah to ask Robert some questions about what kind of girl he was into? Hmmm…maybe Noah was more useful than giving bad makeovers. Mr. Smith glanced up at the clock. “Whoops! Time is running out! I better assign partners and fast!”, he said in a cartoon voice. “Harold and Mabel. Thomas and Amber. Tiffany and Raquel. Anna and Mohammed. Ashley and David.” Mabel felt like dying. How could she possibly be stuck with Harold, the boy who picks his nose and eats a plain sandwich with a massive dallop of mayonnaise and a pickle or two to top it off. Mabel never forgot the time when he shoved one of his icky sandwiches up her throat. She barfed and had to go home early. After history class, Mabel went to the bathroom while Noah went to ask Mr. Smith some questions about the project. Mabel was upset that Noah got to be Robert’s partner. Noah barged into the girl’s bathroom. “Why didn’t you wait for me?” groaned Noah. Mabel just applied some lip-gloss and looked the other way. Noah frowned. Mabel then smacked her lips and blew her nails. “Mabel, you can’t give me the silent treatment forever. Now, tell me why you’re so mad.” Mabel cleared her throat, “Why do you get to be Robert’s partner and I don’t?” Noah looked at Mabel as if she was stupid. “Mabel, the whole partner-picking thing was random, so I didn’t get to choose.” Mabel rolled her yes, “So what? I’m still mad.” Noah started to get angry and shouted, “Its not my fault!” Mabel stared at her. Mabel had never seen Noah erupt before. She must have really pressed Noah’s buttons, but she didn’t care, or at least pretended not to care. Mabel finally got the message: Noah might actually like Robert. “Wait a minute,” said Mabel “you like Robert.” Noah was silent. “Do you like Robert?” Mabel demanded. Noah nodded her head. Mabel started crying. Noah approached Mabel and hugged her. Noah whispered, “Are we still friends?” Mabel wiped her tears and said, “I don’t know.” Mabel left the bathroom, slamming the door, and went off to English class. Luckily, Mabel didn’t have English class with Noah so she would have to deal with Noah passing notes asking, “Are we still friends?” Mabel knew this because this happened last year. English class was pretty quiet without Noah yelling out answers and whispering jokes about Mrs. Renoldi. Mrs. Renoldi was an old-fashioned lady who probably still believed it was the 1900’s. In a turtleneck sweater, shiny silver pants, loafers, poofy hair, a red and green headband, and novelty earrings, she was the nerdiest teacher in the whole school. After English class, Mabel went over to get her science book from her locker to study at lunch. Noah had slipped a note into Mabel’s locker: Dear Mabel, I’m really sorry. Please forgive me. I mean, it’s not my fault that I have a crush on Robert. Besides, its not like I’m going to flirt with him or something. -Noah Mabel carefully studied the note. Wow…Noah even used the blue gel pen I gave her last year , thought Mabel. She did feel bad about being mad at Noah for no reason. She wanted to forgive her, but she wasn’t sure yet. She pulled out her science book and her wrinkled up paper bag and headed over to the cafeteria. Lunch just wasn’t the same without Noah. Mabel had a peanut butter sandwich, homemade brownies, orange juice, and an apple. She glumly ate lunch. She wondered where Noah was sitting. She glanced through the whole cafeteria until finally she spotted Noah. Mabel gasped and choked on a chunk of the apple. There was Noah sitting with Amber, Ashley, Raquel, and Anna laughing it up right in front of Mabel. Mabel felt gullible to even want to forgive Noah. Noah was trying to make Mabel jealous and it worked. Mabel thought of a plan to embarrass Noah for life. The next day, Mabel completely ignored Noah and Noah ignored her back. Mabel was lonely while Noah flaunted herself with the “popular girls”. During history class, Mabel watched as Noah smiled and blushed right in front of Robert. That’s when Mabel realized that he really did like Noah. “Want to eat lunch with me?” he said to Noah. The whole class gasped. The star of the football team and the preppy, happy girl…eating lunch…together? Mabel watched as Noah and Robert giggled at lunch. They seemed as though they’ve known each other forever. Mabel couldn’t stand it. She walked over to where Noah was sitting and dumped milk all over her head. Noah screamed. Noah went running like a dog with a tail on fire. And Robert frowned. “What the heck, you geek?!” he shouted. Mabel stared at him, feeling the tears slipping out of her eyes. A geek? Great, now I know he thinks I’m a geek, she thought. Mabel took her wrinkled up paper bag with an apple core and half of the sandwich and walked out of the cafeteria. She went to her locker and stared at herself in the mirror of her locker. She checked herself. What was so geeky about her? Moments later, she realized what was nerdy. Square black glasses that were so big that they took up half of her face. A piggy nose. Red and blue braces. A button down cotton shirt. Plaid trousers. Socks up to the knee. Maybe if she stretched them, they’d cover her whole leg. And red low top Converse. She felt the word in her mind. That word. Geek. Its time to stop being a geek once and for all, she thought. Chapter 2 Mabel looked at herself in the mirror in the morning and smiled. “No more being a geek!” she screamed in delight. As she walked through the hallway at school, she finally knew that being a geek was over for her. “Ooh hot!” screeched the boys. And that one sound that made it feel worth it. Gasp. Gasp. Mabel was wearing a red tube top with the word “baby” written in fold foil. She wore an incredibly mini mini-skirt. She had strappy red sandals and she dyed her hair cherry chocolate with red and black streaks. She wore a chain necklace, earrings, and a tattoo. She went to class. History class, she sighed. Mr. Smith looked at her. The teacher’s pet has gone wrong. “Um, Mabel, would you like to read page 12, paragraph 2?” Mabel stared at him. Look, I’m not a kiss-up teacher’s pet girl anymore. I’m a hot, bad girl, she thought. “No.” she said in a snobby tone. She knew how to do this voice perfectly because the popular crew practically created that voice. Mr. Smith looked at her. “Please read the paragraph, Mabel.” Mabel then said, in a snobbier tone, “No.” Mr. Smith turned red. “READ THE PARAGRAPH!” he screamed. “No.” Mabel said like she was tring to be annoying. Mr. Smith then said, “Mabel read the paragraph or else.” Mabel stood up and walked toward him, “Are you threatening me?” she screamed. “Get your backpack and head to the principal’s office. You’re in big trouble, ma’am!” The class roared with “Ooooh!” and “Uh oh!” And what Mabel was waiting for. Gasp. Gasp. “So, why didn’t you read the paragraph?” asked the principal. Mrs. Harper was sitting at her desk in a light blue business suit, high heels to match, and a messy bun. Mabel stared at her wrinkles. Um…there’s something called Botox, thought Mabel. “I’m waiting to know.” The principal added. The office was so depressing. The desk Mrs. Harper was sitting at was flowing with tattered papers. Pens and pencils were all over the floor. Mabel was sitting on a little pink stool. There was a countertop with coffee mugs and file folders. The carpet looked as though there was a wild party in there. Gum on the floor. “Mabel, are you going to talk or not,” asked the principal. Mabel sighed. “I just didn’t feel like reading.” Mabel put on her puppy dog hoodie. If Mrs. Harper saw Mabel with a tube top, the trouble she was already was in would be doubled. “Tube tops aren’t allowed”, Mrs. Harper would say over and over again. Mrs. Harper rose her eyebrows, “So, why didn’t you feel like reading.” Mabel decided to lie. It was the only way to get out of all this trouble. “Well, I didn’t feel like reading because I was in a bad mood. I felt like crying.” Mrs. Harper suddenly switched from principal mode to therapist mode. “Oh, dear! What happened, Mabel?” Mabel replied as glumly as she can, “Well, I like Robert and now Robert likes Noah and I want him to like me.” Mabel then stated crying for real. By trying to lie, she ended up telling the truth. Mrs. Harper nodded her head, “It’ll be okay, dear. Boys are mysterious people, really they are. Don’t cry please.” Mabel cried and cried. Mrs. Harper reached into the desk drawer and pulled out a mango-flavored lollypop. Mabel took it even though strawberry-flavored lollypops were her favorite. She wiped her tears and left the office. She went to bathroom to wash her face. Noah walked into the bathroom too. “So, what happened in the office?” asked Noah. Mabel replied, “Nothing. I didn’t get in trouble.” Noah smiled. “That’s good,” Noah giggled. “The whole class was talking about it while we were supposed to be working on our Egypt projects. Everyone thought you got suspended or something.” Noah added. Mabel sighed. She really did miss Noah. Mabel asked, “So, how is it going with Robert?’ Noah shook her head. “All he ever talks about is Amber. I found out he’s using me to get to Amber. So I dumped him during history class.” Mabel felt so bad. “How could we have let one boy ruin our friendship?” Mabel asked sadly. “I missed you so much. There was no one to dip Oreos into chocolate milk with while watching cartoons, no one to play soccer with, no one to watch movies with, no one to bake cookies with, no one to play “hair salon” with. No one to do anything with. Please, please, please, please be my best friend again.” Noah cried. Noah was sobbing. Mabel yelled happily, “Of course I’ll be your friend again!” They hugged and cried. “Everyone was talking about your geek to chic makeover today,” Noah said. Mabel smiled, “My days as Geek Girl are over!” Noah then added, “The football team was even talking about how hot you looked. And Robert!” Mabel leaped with excitement. She ran over to Robert. “Hey, Robert!” she said in that total flirt tone. Robert looked at her. “You look really hot.!” Mabel giggled. “Wanna go out to the movies this Friday night?” she asked. Robery smiled, “Yeah, sure.” Friday came and Mabel was throwing clothes out of her closet. Her room was a little small. Her bed, with her pink and lime green bedding, was in the middle, magazines with cut out pictures of celebrities were all over the carpet, and one pink dresser and a desk with a laptop. Her closet was small, which is why most of her clothes were all over the floor. Where is that pink tube top? she wondered. She found her tube top under her bed and pulled it on. She grabbed her high heels and skinny jeans. She put glittery pink eye shadow and sparkly pink lipstick. She headed over to the theatre and walked up to Robert, who waiting inside near the snack area. “Want popcorn?” asked Robert. Mabel blushed as pink as her lipstick and said, “Yes, please” in her most innocent little girl voice. She has used this voice to get herself out of trouble with her mom. He paid for popcorn and purchased a drink and escorted Mabel to a seat way in the back. Robert sat down and put the popcorn in Mabel’s lap. Mabel smiled weakly. This was her first date ever and she felt so awkward. The movie started and Robert smiled at her. She wasn’t interested in watching ‘Superman strikes again’, but she pretended to be completely interested in it. She sighed and daydreamed about getting married to Robert. She smiled and dozed off. Before she knew it, the dream became beautiful the more she imagined. “Mabel”, Robert said while shaking her. He cleared his throat, “Wake up, Mabel!” Mabel woke up, still sleepy. “What happened?” she asked, feeling drowsy. Robert frowned. “You missed the whole movie because you fell asleep”, he replied. Mabel widened her eyes. What a jerk I am. The one and only hottie who I loved for so long finally went on a date with me and I fell asleep. Poor guy paid for tickets and snacks and I wasted it all and fell asleep. Fell asleep, she thought. “I’m sorry.” Mabel said. Robert got up and said, “Come on, lets go.” Mabel sighed. The one and only boy she really loved is going to dump her after one date. Just one date! No, she was not going to let him dump her. They went outside and sat at the bench. Robert was waiting for a taxi to pick them up. Mabel grabbed his arm, “Are you still mad at me?! All I did was fall asleep during the movie! You can’t blame me for being a bit tired. You’re not the one who has to study, play the violin, play the piano, go to soccer practices every day, and still have time to do homework! And then I still have chores and you in my life! So, why are you mad if you can’t understand what I go through every freaking day of my life!” Mabel had yelled this out so loud that everyone waiting for the bus and exiting and entering the theatre could hear. She sounded like a crazy woman who wanted to break up with her husband. Robert stood there, embarrassed as everyone stared at Mabel and Robert. Robert just glared at her and looked down. “I wasn’t mad at you, just a little annoyed. That’s all. But you had to embarrass me in front of all these people.” Mabel shrugged. “I’m really, really sorry, Robert. Please forgive me.” Mable said. Robert hugged her and replied, “Just don’t let it happen again.” They let go and Mabel quietly sad, “Ok.” Noah called Mabel two hours after she got back from the date with Robert. Noah seemed pretty excited. “So, how did the date go with Robert?” Mabel sighed, “I fell asleep during the movie and he seemed pretty upset and I yelled at him in public like a mad woman with no therapist who wanted to divorce her husband and live alone in a mountaintop in Oregon or something.” Noah giggled, “Don’t tell me you brought up the fact that you practice piano and stuff. And why Oregon? I heard that Wisconsin has pretty nice mountaintops perfect for mad women with no therapist who want to divorce their husband.” Mabel laughed, “This is probably the last time me and Robert will ever go out on a date.”

I need to set up a routine to discipline my puppy. Any suggestions? I just got a 9 week old pit bull/aussie mix, cutest thing ever, very sweet dog, but I feel I am letting her run a little wild and need to set some ground rules. I have to keep her inside during the day for the time being because we have landscaping going on, and keep her in the laundry room with a baby gate and food, water and toys. When we get home from work, we take her to play for atleast an hour, and then we try and do stuff around the house but can't becuase she is always getting into stuff. I read online that a routine is good for a dog and if you can't watch them all the time, then put them in their little area (for me the laundry room) so they don't just run wild around the house. I don't know if this is cruel or not???? We love to play with her and eventually I can leave her outside all day so she can use her energy, I jsut can't chase her around every second right now. Any suggestions???

is anyone else out there obsessed with david archuleta? i don't know what's wrong with me, i honestly don't: he's just soooooo cute! does anyone else notice how adorable archadorable is? it's like the cuteness of a floppy-eared puppy dog mixed with zac efron/orlando bloom's misty eyes and there's a baby's-first-laugh type air about him. and how he's so honest and humble and modest - with that perfect, stirring voice - i have a crush on a little kid! somebody please tell me i'm not crazy!?

Suggestions for my puppies first birthday coming up? My baby is going to be one next month and I wanted to do something a little special for him. My thoughts were: 1). Take him to the pet store and letting him pick out anything he wants. 2). Giving him a few toys that I already have, everytime I go to the store I seem to find things for him, so I store them for good days. 3). Taking him to the mall to the pet store to get a special treat, such as the cookies they sell.... My biggest question is if these treats are actualy safe for dogs or if they should be avoided. It isn't something we would do often, but just as a treat for his birthday, we use natural treats for everyday things. Does anyone else have any cute ideas for him? Normally he doesn't get to go along during the summer because of the heat. But we just got a strollar for him so he can come in now to the mall and things. Thanks Thanks for all the answers, they are great. We can't really do a party as we are still working on him getting a long with other dogs, he is a little moody. He has lots of bones already, mostly Nylabones and the like because of food agression. I'm not looking to get a puppy, I have the puppy, it is his birthday. I really appreciate all the sites, can't wait to look them over. My dog has a huge backyard, but he can only play when I'm around because of eating rocks. I definitely would never feed him Mrs. Fields cookies. I'm just trying to make sure that he gets something a little more special than normal. The pet store in the mall has cookies, brownies etc that are for dogs, but I don't know if they are safe for him, they just say wait till he is at least 6 months old. I only buy him the best treats for the pet food store and then he gets innova evo for his regular food. Thanks again for all the great ideas, he is going to love it! Thanks for the idea Steve, but he has already been "fixed" We were at the vet as soon as he was old enough to have it done hoping it would help. It did a little, but we still have lots of other problems to work on..... But, we are definitely making progress.

This makes me SOOO upset. Please help!? Since I'm going to having a baby very soon( I'm almost six months pregnant) I went to a parental thingy with my doctor and they said I must get rid of Lucky my chihuahua because he is a little vicious. I'm giving him to a friend but my dog Peanut gets lonely so I am looking at puppys and i took pics of them. Which puppy do you think is the cutest? Puppy number one (to be named Teddy): http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j128/Summergirl10/avatars/Puppy3.jpg Puppy number two (to be named itty bitty): http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j128/Summergirl10/avatars/maltese_smedlock.jpg Puppy number three (the one on the far right to be named shadow): http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j128/Summergirl10/avatars/A20bunch20of20Poodles201.jpg I'm sorry none of the links worked! the first dog http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j128/Summergirl10/doggies/Puppy3.jpg the second dog http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j128/Summergirl10/doggies/maltese_smedlock.jpg the third dog: http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j128/Summergirl10/doggies/A20bunch20of20Poodles201.jpg I'm upset about getting rid of my baby Lucky but I have to! Chihuhuas are a danger to kids under 9 which I did not realize. I love him and I'm still planning to visit him. I'm getting a new dog that is already trained by a breeder.

Need some advice with my new fur babies!? I have been searching for about a month and trying to decide what kind of puppy to get my daughters for their forever dog. Someone suggested petfinders.com and we found the cutest little dog on there and went to visit. We ended up bringing 2 pound puppies home today! They passed all the pound puppy tests and they are very sweet tempered and calm. The youngest is 9 wks and the oldest is 5 months. They get along well with all of our other furbabies and fit perfectly into our household! Anyway, as i was throwing dinner away tonight I kinda wondered if I should have just fed it to the older pup. Is this an unhealthy practice? Or is it alright to feed her the left overs? Also, neither of them are house trained yet. Thank goodness I have ceramic tile through most of my house lol! How should I go about potty training them? They are mixed breeds the baby is pug and terrier. the 5 month old is hound and shepherd. Any suggestions on anything that I need to do with them would be great Oh and just to let everyone know, I wasn't acting hasty when I decided to adopt both pups. I have 5 kids and we live on a farm! lol. So, there is plenty of love to go around! They are both great pups, no food aggression, they play and then calm down really easy, and they are both pretty well mannered for pups. They are both going to be house dogs.

earcroping.. BAD?!? I don't understand why people are against ear cropping~ I'm not against it but I wouldn't get it done to my dogs. apperantly if you have "love for pit bulls, you wont get their ear cropped" wat Tail docking I'm not against but I don't like it, because I've seen a really little baby puppy get its tail chopped off. Everyone said it doesn't hurt but it just kinda disturbed me. idk. I think pit bulls look cute with cropped ears, some look cute with floppy ears. I dont think it looks wrong.. The most popular reason for docking dog breeds is to prevent injury to working dogs. For instance, it has been stated that a vermin's bite to the working dog's flop ears can lead to a systemic infection, a serious medical problem that wouldn't occur were there no flop ears to be bitten. In hunting dogs, the tail is docked to prevent it from getting cut up as the dog wags its tail in the brush. This is contested by a wide range of groups and is often considered a form of animal cruelty and torture. This has led to the practice being outlawed and made illegal throughout many countries, in some of which dogs are no longer bred for work, or used as working animals. Most dogs are continued as family dogs

A Good story ? It is March 31st,2009 My name is Steve Weattie. Alot of people call me Steve Wheaties, my wife calls me Steevey Weevey. I live in the busy city of Boston. I have a job as a manager of internfal affairs at the Boston Public Library. It may sound a bit espionage saying that I handle internal afairs but I'm the head boss for all that goes on at the library. I'm the man that handles security. Someone steals a book in front of our cameras Im the man that security tells first,I'm the man that handles books coming in to this library and out and know what books should be banned from this library.I wasnt all that good in math as a kid but I deal with library funds at times. Im not the head man to handle that but I work with everyone. It's alot to handle for one man. It may seem a bit unrealistic. How can one man be handling all these things for a library? Sounds like something out of a story. I would have thought so too,but its all true. Im a busy man but I worked hard in my life to get this far to the top. As a kid I always wanted to be a librarian,I did too when I was a teenager,I just became something more at the end. It's alot of responsibilty but I'm an organized man. I have enough time to be here at this library everyday except for Sundays and be home by 6 or 7 to spend the night with my wife. Today is March 31st,2009. It is 5:29 A.m. Im laying down next to my sweet wife _____. She's sleeping peacefully and I feel like everything is right in the world with me. She lays there so sweet. Her bosom rising and falling with every breath,her beautiful face in peace,every aspect of her is beautiful. With her next to me I feel like I can do anything. As usual she sleeps with her pink fluffy pillow,her pink fluffy blanket,in her pink pajamas. If I didnt know by now that her favorite color in the world is pink, I would have to be a very stupid person.It's funny to be sleeping with a pink blanket,a pink pillow underneath my head as well. At least I dont wear the pink pajamas. I have still some man dignity on me. For her though, I would walk down the street in pink. I would be laughed at but it would be worth it to make her happy. My colors for me have always been black and yellow. I cant seem to know why I like both. I cant just like black or just like yellow. I only like these colors in a combination. Their too distinct colors but I seem to enjoy both colors as well as pink which I began after I met ____. It is 5:45 A.m now and that means I should take a shower now. I get out of our king sized Serta Bed, thats one good bed never had a bad nights sleep with that bed, and walk to the bathroom to take a shower.It feels nice under my feet to walk on the pink mats in the bathroom. Sigh. Well... I do this everyday and I wouldnt change it for the world. I always feel content with my life. I mention pink so much and I tolerate my wifes adoreness with pink. Its a fine color just as red or blue would be ,but I dont consider myself to be less a man to like the color. Its funny that I always assure myself that everyday when I reach the bathroom. It's just a funny habit I have. I dont think its a bad habit at all. It keeps my life in balance doing almost the same thing everyday. I say almost since I never know what me and my wife will do. Shes very engergetic and outgoing so one minute we could be eating and next me and her could be throwing water at each other for fun. I also never know what will ever happen at work. THeres always something that could happen at work...a book stolen, a disturbed patron making a scene in the library entrance, you just never know. It is 6:03 A.m and I have finished taking a shower. Im dressed in one of my best suits since today I know I have a meeting with a few members of the Children Donation FUnd. I will be making sure that the libray has the theme of children and caring for needful children. Ill prob prospose the idea of putting childrens faces around the library and donation boxes near the childrens room,near entrances and such. It shouldnt be a bad day. Its Tuesday and Tuesdays are the days where usually activity and such is very slow. No problem for me though..if work is slow then at least Ill have my house to come home to with ____. It is 6:25 A.m and Im eating breakfast at my polished table with pink flower designs. Im eating Cocoa Puffs from a pink bowl with a pink flower spoon. Im reading yesterdays Boston Globe since the newspaper doesnt come to our house till 7 o clock. I usually am behind the news by one day but thats ok for me since I read the news just to know current events or to bring up some such thing I read in the newspaper in a meeting like "Why are we all acting like the Dubois family that fought over their dog for ? Lets just be the state of Massachusetts and get rid of the Dubois family?" It is 6:45 A.m. Ive cleaned my cereal bowl ,put away the cocoa puffs and am heading upstairs to kiss ____ goodbye. I would be a fool to try to wake her up since she never can wake up early. If I tried to wake her up with me in the morning she would be cranky the whole day. Well,she'll be waking up soon since she may want to go to the mall later. As she told me there will be a new purse out on sale today that will have a built in cell phone holder,a mini tv screen to watch the latest soap operas and it even has satellite so you can watch any nationality of soap operas wheter it be Japanese or Russian or even Arab. Hmm...I also think this new purse will be pink and have an automated cell phone operator meaning I think if you click some certain button the purse it can put your phone on to answer a call. Shes always saying how sometimes I call her and she can never pick up the phone because its in her purse and she has to try to find the phone in her purse and by that time she misses the call. So..maybe this will be a good purse for her. "____ Im leaving for work ok? I left you some goodies on the kitchen table and a surprise in your make -up kit. ON the kitchen table I have for her a pumpkin pie for her that I bought last night . In the make -up kit ive left for her 200 $. Of course shes not a spend thrift we have to do some food shopping, so I dont expect her to use all that money for the purse. Well I hope so. "hhmmm..ok my steevey weevy Ill see you later then." I moved for the usual good morning kiss . I kissed her on her lips. Most of the time that would wake her up but today I could see she was a bit tired so I gave her a not too long kiss on the lips and one on her forehead and cheek. I Then I put my hand threw her hair and said Ill see you later _________" "Mhmm k Steevey I love you." I love you so much more _____ ,I told her. It is 7:21 A.M. I kissed my wife goodbye earlier. I walked out of the house,into the garage, entered my black Beemer that was next to my wifes Beemer, a pink convertible. My beemer was the usual sedan. It had the usual leather seats,GPS system, pink dice in the mirror one pink one actually and the other one black,heating on the seats,and a kickin stereo system. Yeah kickin..well for listening to music it always makes me feel cool and young. It is 7:27 A.M. and I m close to the library. Theres plenty of traffic at this time. I just have to drive down this street,pass Boston Common,take a right at Lowe's Theater and just head straight down and I'll be there. As of now Im close to nearing Lowe's Theater. Too many s toplights and people passing. So many commuters are clogging up this street. Every damn minute Im stopping for them! It's just annoying that they pop up every few feet when you gain a foot. I remember my days as a commuter so I cant get pissed at these people. I use to try to run past cars and people to reach the train station to catch my train. Hmm...my commuter days are one of my greatest years in my life as well. Its how I met ______ in fact. Hmm...something also happened on a train back then but I cant seem to remember. It is 7:35 A.m and I am now at Lowe's Theater just have to turn right and Ill be on the street that leads to the library. Look both ways and hmm...wow look at that black dump truck there. Jet black with a shade of yellow on the side to spell some words. I cant read the words. Aha funny my favorite two colors on this weird dump truck black and yellow. So..anyway look left. To the left I have the dump truck here and to the right just that street and just looking for pedestrians. It is 7:36 A.M and I flick the switch to turn my right signal on. Tick Tick Tick the green arrow ticks and tocks on my dashboard. I turn my wheel slowly to the right. I look fast again to my left while my Beemer is in motion. The black and yellow truck is coming up fast to me. My heart is getting faster. Maybe I should wait for this thing to pass. Im in the middle of the road though. I just cant stop. I keep on moving and hope that the driver will realize his mistake and stop. My car is still in a turn and suddenly the truck is somehow so close to me that I can see the driver inside. I cant believe my eyes. I thought I would never see HIM again. How is he here? All I know is that this thing I once knew but I dont have time to think. I have to get out of his way!. Before I have time to think of what Im going to do for a motion with my car the dump truck smashes hard into the driver side of my car. My side. I feel an intense pressure on my left like someone just took my whole side and squeezed it all together. My heart is being crushed by pounds of metal. I cant breathe. THe light of day is gone and I only see complete darkness. Im going to die. Why must I die? I dont want to leave _____. I love her too much. How could she handle it? I dont know how I can be thinking when I probably have serious injuries. I feel the pain so intense and yet I expected to lose consciousness. My sight is of blackness and I think maybe Ill be able to stay awake threw all this,maybe I will stay alive. As soon as I even begin to think this I feel like I'm rolling over and over and over and over. My head is crashing against the ceiling of the car I think. What the hell is goin on? I cant think anymore. I cant breathe. I cant breathe. I cant breathe. I cant............................ "Goooood morning everyone. This is abc News in the Morning and I'm Patrick o DOnell " "And im Sara Fontaine who will give you your traffic updates. "Im Lindsey Hamilton who will be giving you your Boston weather for the day. "Aaaand I;m Johnny Repp who wull be giving you your update on who married who,who broke up with who,and who wants to break up with who on your entertainment news. THIS IS abc NEWS IN THE MORNING. "Good Morning to our viwers. Today is Tuesday March 31st 2009. Its 7:59 on this windy day wouldnt you say Sara? "Ill tell you it sure was Patrick. I almost was blown away today by the winds but thats for Lindsey to tell us right ? "Of course of course" "In this mornings news, two Turkish planes bombed Kurdistan today due to PKK militants killing 10 Turkish militants outside of a customs building in the Istanbul District. "OOO doesnt sound good now does it Patrick?" "Well...that may not sound good but today in Boston there will be the annual Children week. "Oh yes I was looking forward to that." "So for all those people that would like to chip in and help some children...the event will be held at the Boston South End pubic Library today at 3 p.m and should last till 7 p.m tonight and then of course same time tomorrow . There should be groups for children to play in and for adults,small workshops on how we can help our chidlren. "O yes that does sound nice. For anyone thats trying to get anywhere near the Boston Library you wont have much luck. " Why is that Sara who is with the traffic who should have said that she was the traffic woman. "AHAHAH well Lindsey it's a bit shocking to find that there was an accident right across from the Boston Common nearly a half hour ago. " "Oh wow right in a public street too. " "Yes so dont try going down Winter,Summer, or Franklin ST. Besides that there was one accident on Rt. 128, there is a bit of a bulge there but there shoud be an estiamted wait time in traffic of 5 -10 minutes. Besides that the roads are clean this morning. "Yes thank you Sara. Back to the news, it seems that on the story of that accident that Sara told us there are 7 people injured,one man it is said to be believed dead and there is one person missing as well. It's a strange accident. Lets go with Rebecca Chong with more details who is live now at the scene". "Yes Patrick. The scene here is devastating. It seems at 7:36 this morning a man who is yet to be identified at the moment was in a 2009 BMW 202 X when as he was taking a turn he was struck by an incoming dumpster truck stricking his drivers side. The bmw was smashed completely on the drivers side and if you look down the street here you can see that the dump truck was actually moving the bmw along the street. No drivers were hurt but the Bmw hit a curb and spun over injuring at least 7 pedestrians. From what we know,these injured people have not serious injuries. It seems to be that these people were harmed not by the car itself but by metal pieces of the car. In fact we have here with us a man that saw the whole collision while sitting on a bench waiting for the 7:40 bus. Say your name sir." "Yeahh hi my names Bill Shawmut. I was sitting here on this bench and Im looking at this Bmw right? Im thinking to myself what would I do to get me one of those babies? One second im looking at this beaut and the next second Im seeing a huge dump truck like a big mother beep beep." "Excuse me sir?" "O yeah sorry about the swearing but this thing was pretty big. Like black and yellow I aint ever even seen a truck with yellow and black maybe white and yellow but not black. Anywayss this truck smashes into the driver side of the car right? and its still moving! This truck is still pushing this Bmw along the street! Im thinking what the hell aint the driver realized he just crashed into somethin? So this truck is just plowing this car down the street and Im standing up to see down the street now. Then the bmw kind of moved away from the truck and hit the sidewalk. All I know is then I be seeing this car flip over. Then like all these pieces of the car start flyin around everywhere and im thinkin to myself shit (beep) it better not be explodin now. Luckily it didnt. But yeah I saw the metal flyin everywhere. From my angle I could only see the car and the truck but not any people. God bless anyone involved in this accident. Might I add that this whole morning is ruined and its all to blame for one motherfucker (BEEP)driver on the road It was the scariest shit (beep) I seen in my life." "Thank you Bill for that insightful account of what has happened here today. As Bill has told us the bmw is completely wrecked. We did manage to see the driver of the BMW in one quick glimpse. We'll have some footage of him later live. From what we could see he had wounds to his head. We can see from our distance the BMW did have the use of airbags. As for the truck ...it seemed to have stopped a few feet after the BMW. THres not much we can say for the truck. Its a truck so...not much damage has been done to this truck. Theres dents on the front. Theres no driver found. Witnesses say they did see people running after the accident. It is possible that this will turn out to be a case of Hit and run and if the driver of the BMW dies...well then this will soon to be called manslaughter. Back to you Patrick. Hmm....Steevey. Why does he always do that? He thinks he doesnt wake me up when he kisses me but he does! Hes such a romantic though doing that. Let me check the time. Only 6:54! Steve must have just left like a few minutes ago. I didnt even get to sleep in . Grrrr. Well im up now might as well get my shit done. Lets see first thing is bathrooom. Didnt he say something about something in my make-up kit? Hmm..whats in there? Probably some nice book he got from the library. I never use to like to read but hes so convincing. "Just read it honey! Come on you know you wanna _____! Come on ____ everyone lets go! Come on lets get to it,You know you wanna do it!" "Steve be quiet Ill read the book. " "Fine read the book and then you'll come up to me all thanking me honey. Yup thats my Steevey. The book he picked out for me was great and yeah I did give him a hug. Hes just so sweet who wouldnt want to hug him besides me? Ahaha yeah so lets see whats in the make-up kit. My make -up kit is near the sink on the shelf. Its one big shelf so definitely my stuff wont be falling down. Hmm...lets see whats in here. He left a note on the kit. _____..I know how much you wanted that special thing youve been wanting and today you can get it! Yay for you! Dont forget though dont go too crazy because Im gonna be hungry tonight so I was thinking maybe like Steak with rice or whatever you want. Either way we need to do some shopping for food. Dont forget ______ I love you =) Awww thats nice of him but whats in here. I hate it how he likes to build the suspense of things just give whatever it is to me now! I opened the box and there it was two nicely folded hundred bills and a beautiful ring next to it. O my God! When did he get this?! Its soo beautiful! Of course! Today was the day we first met ! How could I forget? Aghh mornings they make me stupid. Ill like never take this ring off. Its like at least 2 karot or 3 whatever! Its real diamond for sure! Like I cant believe it! How could he do this? I never would have guessed! Pheww ok..I have to calm down. Whats the 200 dollars for though? All on food? We're not that low I think. Lets see I know hes bad at math but we usually worry about just what to eat for tonight and go day by day, not stack up on food. So...he should know we usually use about 50 for a good meal. 150 dollars what could I do with that? He couldnt want me to get....? No way. He wouldnt be that nice to me in one day! I already have a beautiful ring on me! He wouldnt want me to get the purse! Let me see that note again. "I know how much you wanted that special thing you've been waiting for and today you can get it!" He really wants me to get the purse! I cant believe he actually listened to me always talk about it. I thought he was half asleep at the table when I always told him the special features to that purse. He would always act like he was sleeping too! I never thought....he is sooo getting that steak and rice tonight! I better hurry up, get in the shower and eat something real quick. The malls open up at like 7:30. Ok its 7:15 . I had to rush a bit and it was hard to choose which pink shirt I wanted to wear for today and the shoes too but I did it and I have still time to eat something reall fast. Lets see...Im in the kitchen and whats that on the table? A pie and chocolate? Can this day get any better for me? I love pie! How could he do this to me?! I dont have the time to eat the pie now,I could eat it in the car but then Ill get my pink floor mats messy and then I'll have crumbs! Theres chocolate too though. Um... come on choose ____! Pie or chocolate! Thats it screw the chocolate. Pie your coming with me! Let me just get a fork then me and you are out of here mr. pumpkin pie. 7:30 in the morning. I cant believe I'm awake this early and not in a grouchy mood. If it wasnt for this ring and that pie and this purse then I probably would be in a shitty mood today. I made it to the mall at 7:25. It's close to our house. I actually half finished the pie...it was soo good! I just couldnt stop eating! Well...here Iam now at Sears waiting for the teenage girl to ring me up for my nice purse. "O MY GOd your actually getting this? This is like the coolest purse ever!" "Yeah I know right? So..how much will it be ? "Its going to be $148.13" "I handed her the cash and I received back my change. I liked this girl . She had a good style to her. I could see she had good style and her eyelashes...those were so nice . "Did you know you have nice eyelashes?" "Really? Awww thank you! Well ive been tired like shit but that just really cheered me up thanks! " I nodded to her and left the store. It felt good to feel like a young girl. Im usually not always like this saying cool and stuff. But...I still sometimes feel like a teenage girl . Whenever I walk into a mall, Im just 16 years old again. Lately Ive just been feeling like that age since I heard of that new purse. But...I think Ill be acting my age after tomorrow. I still have to finish that essay professor grant gave me. I'm still at Northeastern going to finish my masters in Science. Soon Ill be finished this year so.. I dont know where Ill go from there, but im glad that at least im not a bum to sit around the house all day. I dont know ...maybe after this degree..I can have the thought of children. At least if kids come into my life now there would be a loving father who has a firm and high job and at least a mother with a degree that could get her a decent job if someday Steevey lost the job or took ill. Always have to think for the future. It's 7:37 as of now and Im on the way to my car. I feel sad now for some reason like I forgot something or Im missing something important though I dont know what it could be. Well..maybe its just my mind telling me get back home and finish that term paper now! Well..Im in my sweet pink BMW and ready to get back home! It is 7:50 and I'm out of my car and have my keys in the hole of the door. My cell phone rings. This would be the perfect chance to see how my purse does its magic. I press the brown button on the side of the purse,you can barely even see it it blends in so well with the purse. Instantly I know that the purse has put me threw with whoever is calling. I say "Hello?" "Is this Mrs. Weattie?" "Yes this is she, who is speaking ?" "This is Seargent Nick Randal from the South End Boston Police Department." "O wow, I wasnt expecting a call from an officer. Um...is there a reason that your calling me so early? Did I do something wrong? "No maam no. Its not that, maam as a procedure I usually tell people that if you are standing now you may want to sit down. "For what reason, besides Im like right about to get into my house so I just cant sit on the ground. "Well maam if you must you should sit on the ground. Maam..this morning at 7:35 your husband Steve was struck by a dump truck across the Lowe's Theater. It was a very serious accident. Your husbands car is completely ruined,in fact barely recognizeable. As of now, for sure we know that he is in the ER. The paramedics told us that your husband's heart had stopped twice and that they had to inject adrenaline to get his heart beating again. He has received serious head trauma and multiple bruises to his body. He is living and is not in I believe ICU, I dont know why he is not there or in an operating room but for sure we know that he is in the ER and that it would be wise if you could come down to the hospital. " "Steevey no how could Steevey...it it cant be him. It must be some one else. He was just on his way to work. He doesnt take a highway or anything! It cant be him!!! NOOO!!" "Maam we are completely sure it is him. He had the id of Steve Wheatie,27 years old, resident of 245 Andalos St. Boston." "Its just....will he be all right??? "Maam I cant say for sure. I suggest you go see him at the hospital and now maam I have other matters to attend too. Good day. "Good day? Good day! What the hell do you mean a good day? My husbands been in an accident and your going to tell to have a good day!You stupid cop pig!" I cant take what he just told me. How can Steevey be in the hospital? He could be dead! Steevey! WHY?! I fell to the ground and my door opened to the entrance of my house. Steve, no you cant die. How? I feel like my heart will burst how can this happen? I look up and see my house. Steevey its like hes here in front of me. Memories of him here come bac to me. Him bringing me into this house the first time with me in his arms as we walked into his house,walked on where im sitting as husband and wife. Steevey kicking our stair case there by accident when his team won the soccer match,him screaming GOOOAAAAALLLLL! Him taking a kick and slapping him his foot on the staircase and him hopping in pain still saying "OWWW,goalllll! ___I need some ice!" How can this have happened to him? "Steevey,no. Please God dont let this happen to him". 5 minutes ago seems like a whole other world. I only feel pain,fear,and love for my husband in this new world. O God,I have to go get there fast. I cant let him go. Nooo. Steevey. Tears flow down my eyes as I drive to the hospital with our memories together racing threw my head. Steve.Dont die. Dont. 8:35 in the morning. Im at the hospital and I'm speaking to Dr. Roknilajah that has seen Steevey. "How is he ? Will he live? Please tell me yes please. "Maam someone upstairs must sure like him. Hes fine." "He is! O my God! YES! I start jumping and down not caring that others are looking at me as they pass by. My husband will live ! YES! "Maam if you could please calm down for a moment." "What? Dont tell me theres some kind of other problem." "Maam,your in some way scaring the patients with your yelling for joy." "The patients dont know that my Steevey is going to live! You hear all that you patients! My husband will live! Take that! "Mrs. ____ please calm down. I have to tell you your husbands situation here." "What? Dont tell me you just made me do all that for nothing. Hes okay right?" "Not per say. As of now he is sleeping as both you and I would sleep. He is not in a coma or such at all. We know that his heart stopped on the way here. Im very suspicious of this since his damages to his head are not fatal. You see maam...I was under the impression I would be receiving a patient with severe head trauma,enough that would have the brain so badly affected to stop the heart. Your husband has inguries that could be healed in less than 2 weeks. He has only a deep scratch that will be located near his eyebrow. As I said he can be healed. I can not say how he will be when he wakes up since he has not gained consciousness per say. He has spoken though so that rules out coma. He will have to stay the week for us to monitor his vital signs and see if he has been affected by this accident. "But...hes still well right?" "Yes he is well. We will on the safe side though monitor him. We could even discharge him tonight but its not that. Its just he almost died in the ambulance and it would be recommended that we see if some thing like that will happen again. It could have just been from shock that his heart stopped but you understand me right? "Yes, I completely understand. As long as my husband is well then im well. So.. can I see him now? " "Yes if you would just follow me this way we should be at his room in a minute or 2. So..follow me. I have to admit your husband is a lucky man to be alive.We know that the accident was very severe. The car is completely wrecked We were told plenty of times by the paramdedics. Your husband must have had worn his seat belt and probably had good German airbags. " "Ahahaha yeah. Well...I love Beemers. I had a car one time that was like a death trap when I was 16. It was soo unsafe. But..I got a car from my dad and even that wasnt safe. The beemers though are just so adorable,fast and dependable. My husband well..he just saw my car when I met him and he just fell for BMWS. We're BMW people so..its good we are if it was those airbags that helped to prevent him from hurting himself." "Bmws you say? My family hates BMWS. By the way we are almost to his room. Anyway my family,we are Desi,my father forbid any German cars. He say first they too expensive and that they are too small and are unsafe for drivers. My father tried to make my family Toyota lovers. He still has his Toyota but I went for the Honda instead. "You go for Hondas! AHAH I dont know why Im laughing,we're in a hospital,but a Honda! Their so bad! Everyone knows that! Back in teh day they were good with the accords but the new gxs and all are soo bad.! Wow, sorry I just lately have had a weird experience. I feel like im 16 again lately. Just a little stage im going threw." "Hey its no problem o we all have our stages and no offense I take for the Honda thing. I know myself Honda is bad, I want to trade for NIssan,it is much cheaper than Honda. Anyway here is your husbands room,room 613. Shall we go in?" "Yes obviously!" "Ok.' "Steeevey.Steevey, Steevey Weevey get up. Come on my Steevey Weevey!" I was in darkness but I could here her voice calling to me. I couldnt see but I tried to move my arm to the dark to reach her. It sounded like ____ was above me calling for me. I had to reach her . ______! _____! Im here . Im here! "Are you little man? Are you here or are you just talking to yourself? "Who...whos there?" "An old friend just saying hi. I'll keep in touch." That voice in the darkness ...it sounded familiar. It was a raspy voice that sounded too old to even speak...a voice that evoked fear threw me. I felt myself shiver. Where am I? "STEEVEY! GET UP! COME ON GET UP STEEVEY! PLEASE!" I heard her voice and all fear was washed away from me. I couldnt even remember who spoke to me. All I knew was ____ back and I had to find her. I saw light in front of me. I could see it and I ran to it. I ran to her voice. I saw the light grow and grow and grow until my whole sight was filled with light. I opened my eyes to look into my loves eyes ____. She was kissing me and I kissed back. I felt like I had run a thousand miles and my reward after the struggle of running was to be with ____. "mmmm...this is a nice way to wake up,can we do more things?" "Steevey! Dont ever scare me like that again! I thought that you would never wake up! I almost was going to shove water down your head! Dr. Roknilajah though said it would spoil the equipment. " "What did you say? Doctor? Where am I ____?" "Steve its ok. Your in a hospital. Its like 8:45 in the morning". You had an accident this morning at 7:35. " WHAT?! I had an accident less than an hour ago?! How am I?" "Calm down Steevey." She gave me a hug and rubbed my hair. I was beginning to get scared but her hug calmed me down. It was like she had a mystic power to somehow remove all all the pain and fear from me. She spoke to me in whispers like I was her child rubbing my hair threw. "Shhh. Steevey its ok. You had an accident but its ok. Your ok. You just came out of it with a scratch." Thats it a scratch?" "Isnt that funny Steve? The doctor says you have the same scratch as me right near your left eyebrow except yours is going to be a a whoole lot bigger than mine. "O real nice way to cheer me up ____" "Ahahah im sorry I just lately have been feeling like I'm 16 again. Its strange I even said like! I've been using like today like at least 100 times!. "____ thats fine...when do you think I fell in love with you? I fell in love with you when you were 16. If your going to be 16 then I;ll fall in love with you all over again. "Awww Steevey. You always have something sweet to say dont you? "Baaby I may be lying down here but Ill always be sweet for you and Ill keep on being sweet. I was beginnning myself to feel like I was young again. Strange. I hadnt said those kind of pick up lines since I was 16. It must just be that my mind is believing from ____ that we are 16 again. "sO... Steve. Do you feel better?" I feel great now ____ but when do I get out of here? Thats the question I want to get answered. "Steve your not allowed out of here for like a week. Ooops I said like again. I mean your not allowed to leave this hospital until a week has passed. "Oh wow. What am I going to do the whole time? " "Rest of course. Get your strength back. You'll need your energy. "Energy?" "Well...did you think I would forget about this ring and this purse? I think you'll need to get your energy back because honey you and me will be busy with some fun work soon. "Oooo well dont get my heart racing for you ____ or else the doctors will think Im going crazy over here. "Ahahah well Steevey Ill be bacK in a bit to get you something to cheer you up.! "Ok ____ I cant wait to see what it is . I smiled to her and she gave me another of her gorgeous smiles. I layed my head down on the pillow more and couldnt believe that I was here in a hospital,feeling completely normal with only a scratch on my head. Im in a hospital and my BMW is probably trash now. Its funny how my life changed in less than an hour. I guess I'll be missing that childrens week at the library. I dont think they let cell phones in here so I'll have to ask ___ to call Charlie because he'll have to cvoer for me. Hes my assistant so he knows most of my plans of what I was going to say and do...well.. the boring stuff. Its the funny that he wont have or the wit but at least he;ll get my point across with everyone. I wonder what ____ will bring me. Maybe a pie. I could go for some pie right about now. Poor Steevey. He must feel like crap right now. Im so thankful that at least hes alive. He still has his sweetness going for him. He seems normal so Im so glad that at least hes all right. I think some pie,though,will cheer him up. Good thing I saved half of it. Im in the hospital's parking lot,its an elevated parking lot so I'm on the 3rd floor. I'm now in front of my pink Beemer putting my keys into the doors lock. "Dont think he likes that pie. I think he likes chocolate better." What,WHERE THE hell did that voice come from? "Who's there?" "An old friend paying my regards to an old friend." "Well...ok old friend,stay the fuck away from me you hear?! You sound like a perv and I've seen movies,I'm not going to be the fool girl to keep on talking to the killer so that he can get closer to me to get me!. "Ooo feisty little girl arent you?" "Well ____ dont worry you will be seeing more of me around lately. Eve heard of taking a chill pill? HAHAHAHAHA!!!!" Aghhh that laugh. This mans laugh sent goosebumps running down my spine. I started shaking a bit. It must just be the wind and its cold so...thats just a laugh. I better get in my car now...this pervert could be like right next to me! I turn the key in the lock and quickly get in my beemer. I shut the door and quickly hit the automatic lock for the doors. I put the key in the ignition. Im backing up from my parking space. I look behind me. "BOOO!" "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" He's right there sitting in the seat in the back. I scream uncontrollably and run from my car. I quickly take the keys out of the ignition quickly,run out of the car like theres no tomorrow. Other people looking for parking spaces drive by me "Watch it you dumb broad!" "Shove it Im friggin running here!" Whoa..why am I talking like this and what am I running for? Maybe I'm seeing things. Maybe there was no guy in the car. My door was locked when I entered so...maybe im just imagining things. I think maybe I need a quick nap. Whats happened today has made me feel like I've been awake straight for a week. I feel like a fool walking back to my car. What if there is someone in the car? What the hell am I walking back to the pervert guy? My cars just right there,I can see it. Its about 45 ft. from me. I dont see anyone in the car. I definitely think I was imagining things. A car suddenly comes around the corner. I feel safer if there was a witness around when I get near the car. If there was someone here they woudnt try shit to try and get me. I run to my car and the driver looking for a space passes by me when I reach my Beemer. No one is in my car and my door is open still. I definitely think I just imagined that guy. What am I fooling myself? Of course I saw him. Maybe though he was behind the car outside and not inside the car. It doesnt matter. It was probably just some lonely hobo looking for some money and prob from me a piece of ass. AHAHAHAHAHAAHAH! Likes he gonna get it! I dont think so! AHAHAHAHAHAH! Ok...im so not surprised now that Im thinkinng like this and randomly laughing. I think Ill just go with the flow with what my minds doing. I've been too serious lately. Now just in case I think Ill put my Beemer in a different space. Maybe on the 1st floor. Then im soo giving Steevey his pie. Then he can have the pie to eat...and me to cheer him up! He's already had a bad day but Im going to try to make it better since he made the beginning of my day the greatest. "Phewww that tasted good." I told ____ after finishing a plate of pumpin pie in my room. "I know right? You bought like the best pie for me. Whered you get it from anyway? " "Hmm...I think I think I got it from BJ's." "You went to BJ's last night? Thats like almost all the way near Cambridge! You went all the way down there last night just for me?" "Well...I was low on aftershave so I had to get that too." "Steevey, you went all the way to BJ;s just for aftershave? Couldnt you just get that from Sams club,its like a few streets away from our house! " "____ your right but then again, Bj's makes some good pie dont they? " "Awww so you did go all the way out there just for me!". "Did you think I would forget the day that we first met? It was the best day of my life. How could I forget it? It was when I met you and that was the best thing to ever happen to me. I met you ____ ,you my best friend in life,my companion" "Steevey shut up. Your like going to make me cry! I understand. I'll admit that at first I thought you were just another guy from their little gang trying to suck up to me. I was thinking what a lame kid pretending like he actually wants to protect me? Could you do a better job acting ? "Ahahaha" "Yeah,Steevey. Im glad I met you that day. I remember I was having a shitty day too. Its like when I started speaking to you,like everything just cleared up and I felt so happy and glad to be around with you. "Aww ____ now im going to cry. I dont have that kind of affect on you. " "Of course you do,your my Steevey." She rubs my cheek and looks at me. Her face is so sad. I know how hard it must be for her to see me in this bed,looking like I;m helpless. I see a tear come from her eye and fall down onto the bed. "___ dont. Please dont cry. I dont want you to cry. I'm ok,I'm going to get threw this for you. "No Steevey. Its not fair! How could this have happenned to us? You left for work like any other day! You left me the most beautiful gifts that no one has ever given me,you didnt do anything wrong and look whats happened to you! I cant stand to see you here. It's not you. I'm use to seeing you happy and dancing all weird and all that other stuff you do to try to make me laugh." "_____ come here." I open my arms for her and she enters into my arms. I give her a long hug and a tear falls from my eye into her hair. "I will get threw this. Dont worry ____. Ill get threw this for you. I'll take us away from this pain. Ill take the sadness and pain away from you like I did back at the station." I'll take it all away soon ______. It is 4:45 P.M March 31st,1999. "Can I have your attention please? Now boarding for the 4:58 Worcester Express on traaack number 7. I repeat now boarding for the 4:58 Worcester Express on traaaaaaack number 7." Finnaly, theres my damn train. I'm 16 years old. I'm in South Station in Boston. It is 4:45 P.M. I am sitting at a table with my backpack on my shoulders,eating a Milky Way candybar. I'm sitting with hundreds of other people waiting for other trains to pull in,to Needleham,to Attleboro,to Marlborough,and for others to Florida and Washington D.C. I dont have much time to waste,since if I move slow then I will probably not get a seat for myself and I will have to sit with someone,probably a smelly lady who hasnt taken a shower in days,or maybe next to someone eating a smelly sandwhich. Either way if I want my own whole seat I should move now. The Worcester Express gets packed pretty fast. It is 4:46 P.M. I get up from my chair and walk to the closest trash bin. I look back to make sure I did not leave anything behind. My seat has in less than 20 seconds been already taken by another person. Seats in the station are hard to get in the afternoon due to packs and packs of people trying to get home from here. I turn my head back from that person who took my chair and look for the trash bin which I find is near the bookstore they have here. Not a bad book store but the prices are soo damn expensive. $21.95 is the price for one Dr. Seuss book. I'm like what the hell? How many commuters are suckers here too actually buy from this store? It seems alot are because this store is still in business. It is 4:47 P.M. Im turning away from the trash bin and walking a bit faster to the doors that leads to the track. I'm passing by the food court with passing Au Bon Pain,Mcdonalds,Som Dum Guy Chinese food,and I'm outside where the trains are waiting to be boarded. The intercom once again says "Now boarding on the 4:58 Worcester Express on traaaaaack number 7. Also now boarding on the 4:58 train to Providence on traaack number 9. Now boarding on the 4:58 train to Providence on traaack number 9. I'm walking down the train platform to chooose a car to go too. Hundreds of people are walking with me looking for a car to choose . I walk a bit down since the further cars you go too the less people there are. Everyone takes the first 3 cars and thats where its most packed. Theres some hold up a bit up front. Why is everyone kind of slowing down? Hmm...I try to see more on my tippy toes and I can see that its just a group of kids my age their in the middle of the platform. Well..they should move. Im not going to wait here on this platform all day. "You know what Jack? I dont like pink. I think pink is for fags,and for girls well then you must be for girls with girls right baby? "Shut the fuck up and leave me alone. Just let me get in the damn train. "Ooo but what if we dont want too ?" "Well then I'll just have to kick your ass wont I? "Oh you hear this Jack?" "O yeah I be hearing this Johnny. This girl got fangs watch out." "Ahahah.. how bout this baby dolll, why dont you come with me and Jack here and we'll show you a good time around Boston. "No thanks I dont need a couple of fags to show me the gay bars around here. I dont go for fags,their not my type." "You stupid little bit.....! "Excuse me Johnny is it? Leave the girl alone." I dont know why I stepped forward. I didnt even know I had the guts to do this. But..I saw that this Johnny was gonna take a hit at this girl. I knew that if he did one hit that someone would stop him if he tried for another but I couldnt allow for even one hit to hit her precious face. I could not just go on with my business without protecting this girl. She was too beautiful. I never saw a girl as pretty as her. I felt like I had to protect her from these scumbags. I had a feeling he was going to make a move so I pushed threw the crowd,got close to Johnny and caught his hand in mid-air before he could do anything. "Yo,what the hell this kid doing Jack? Let go of my damn hand you little....." "Hey I dont need to hear any swearing from your mouth. Ill let your hand go if you can leave this girl alone,good idea? "Like shit it is" " I was soo occupied with this Johnny and me thinking I was saving the day for this girl that I forgot about Johnny's other hand and the other guy Jack. He took his other hand and punched me hard in the chest. No one saw that move because Jack moved in and got behind me and punched me in the back. I was on the ground. I was thinking what is the girl doing now? What the hell,theres a fight going on here and no one is saying anything. These people,commuters,are so fucking dumbasses! I was on the ground,in a kneeling position. "I think little boy you picked the wrong fight to play in. Why dont you come with us and we can all have a little fun, Me,Jack and this bitc..... "I told you shut the hell up! " My temper came suddenly threw the pain of being punched. I took my hand and punched Johnny behind his leg. His leg by reaction bent down and I took that oppurtunity to rise up and me be above him I took my knee and slammed it hard against his face. As for Jack he stood there in shock and so...for him I turned around and tried to give him one good punch from me. He tried to run away from me . I didnt want to let him get away without some pain so I tried to kick his leg. I did and he ran into a few commuters knocking down a 2 men. His face hit the pavement and I could see at least there was some burns there to let him feel some pain. I turned around and looked for the girl. She was stepping on the hand of Johnny. "Who's the bitch? WHo?" "Owww owwwww. Let me go!" " Not until you say it.!" "All right All right Im the bitch!" "And what color do you love?" "I love pink,all right owww oowwwww! damn stop! I said it! I love pink! "Thats right you better be loving pink! Pink everything got it?! "Yeah yeah let me go!" "Hey anything you want to say to this guy? I was just in shock of how she was handling him,then I realized she was speaking to me. "Ooo yeah. Who loves pink Johnny? I couldnt hear you from over here." "I love pink. Im sorry, I wont say anything about you guys,just let me go! "All right get out of here then no ones stopping you!" The girl let go of his hand and he tried to get up and she kicked his butt. Literally she kicked his butt and he went falling flat on his face on the hard pavement of the platform. I was laughing and we both laughed together. We were laughing like crazy. It was just soo funny. It was something you think you would see on Madtv but this was just too funny. Johnny got up and I saw that he had a scrape on his face and a bloody nose but at least nothing serious from me giving him a knee. My knee kind of hurt but I thought that is definitely worth it to feel some pain. It means that you had a fight and kicked butt at the end. Johnny ran back down the platform running with a limp holding his butt. It was such a funny scene that me and the girl laughed at him and pointed at him. The commuters were staring at us like we were lunatics. They even turned to look at what we were pointing at. Johnny was gone but we were still pointing so I think the commuters believed we were laughing at the station. "Wow...that was soo funny." "I know right? Like did you see him run holding his ass? What a loser." I felt now a bit shy speaking to a girl I didnt even know. I was thinking to myself ok your speaking to a girl. Well come on keep on speaking. Dont just walk off now into the train and leave it at that! "Um...yeah so we make a good team kicking butt. "Ahaha yeah I guess we do. You did a good job of getting those guys. Thanks for what you did. Like I dont think anyone was even going to do anything." "Well...if you've been on the train alot then you should know that commuters are like zombies. They just walk and thats about it. They dont really have much sense and can be the biggest suckers for anything." "Ahahaahahah! Wow thats funny. So your a brave,thoughtful, funny guy. Whats your name?" "I'm Steve." "Thats it,just Steve?" "Yeah,just Steve. "Hmm...well since your so cute and so nice I think I'll call you Steevey! "Steevey...hmm that sounds good. Am I like your lost puppy to name me? " "You could be. Where you been all this time? I been taking this train for a week now but I havent seen you around before." " "Last call boarding call for the 4:58 Worcester Express,last call for the 4:58 Worcester Express. "Oh I think thats time for us to leave this place" said the girl. "Yeah I guess so. Wow look,we're like the only people on this platform now." "Yup so...Steevey shall we go in? She pointed to the train car. "Well after you maam". "Aww thank you Steevey." We entered the train together and I felt like I was in a whole new world. I've been using the commuter rail to get to school this whole year and its already the end of March and wow...theres a bit of a change in my life now meeting this beautiful girl. It is 4:58 P.m, March 31st 1999. Who is this guy? I cant believe he just saved me from those guys. I probably could have got them both but still...he actually came and stood up for me. Thats sweet...I didnt see no one else do that for me. He handled it so well too...well except for that punch at the beginning he got from that guy but I think he was too distracted looking at me. His face was like what the hell am I doing? It was soo funny. But he really saved me from those guys. Steevey...thats such a nice name. I always come up with the cool things. Hmm...Steevey. Steevey Weevy. That sounds nice. I should sit with him, see how this Steevey is. Who knows ,speaking to these commuters has been so boring,its like they have no life. Steevey,I think maybe he could entertain me for the ride like that would be so fun. Well first I want to see how he's going to handle getting me or himself a seat. I know for sure he wants to be serious with me if he sits with me,if he sits across me,then hes such a mamas boy. Ok..lets see shes right behind me and every chair is filled with people. There must be a way to get a seat. I want to sit next to her. I never even sat next to a girl before and spoke to her! Maybe I should find my own seat and just say Ill see you later then. What am I stupid? I just saved the girl and I'm just gonna let her go just like that? Shes so different from other girls. Most of the girls are all the same just trying to show their fronts and backs as much as possible. But shes not like that. I def can see her front and back but not because she wants everyone too,its just there. She seems so unique,her looks are great and she's funny too. I could definitely have fun speaking to her. It'd be I think like the first time I actually have a whole conversation with a girl and this trip is like an hour and a half so that would definitely be a long conversation. Im just too shy. I have to step up. Im so going to get me and her a seat. Just me and her. Ok what the hell is Steevey doing? Hes just standing there,looks like hes thinking. Like wow,if its going to take him this long to find a seat,I think I should find my own seat then and call it quits with him. "EXCUSE ME." "Yes son?" "Sir,your sitting in my seat." "Excuse me ? I didnt see you sitting here before but if you would like too I can share this seat with you and if the girl over there is with you,I can let her fit here too. "Sir,thats a great idea. Thats very thoughtful of you but you see sir,shes my sister. She's um...come here. I lean close to the guys ear... "Shes a bit retarded,birth defect at birth." "O how tragic. "Yes sir,its hard for her to adjust to life. You see sir,today is the first time that she is on a train. Now she may not look scared,but you see I tried sitting her down in the last car with some people and she completely started screaming. If you catch me sir,I didnt want to stay in that car since I would be receiving stares and such and I dont want my sister to be stared at. "O yes son. I understand. I had a grandmother who was exactly the same way. I had to watch her everyday at my home. It was hard but it feels good in the end that your helping your family doesnt it? "Yes it is sir... it will help her in the future. " "Yes,so you need the whole chair then,because she'll prob get nervous with me right? "Yes sir,howd you know? My grandmother was the same when we use to go to the groceries. God bless your soul young man." "As well as yours sir for taking care of your grandmother." "Yes,thank you and good luck with your not soo well sister. "Thank you sir." O my God! I cant keep a straight face here! Its so hard. Im not the well sister! AHAHAHA that was sooo damn funny and smart as well. Like wow,that was classy bsing. Well I think he got us seats.So...he must want to sit with me because theres one empty seat next across from the large seat. So...he definitely wants to sit with me. "After you maam." "Uhhh thank you Steevey brother hahaha". "Thank you sister." I sit down across from the girl in the single chair. I really do want to sit next to her but I want to be sweet to her first. "So..why are you sitting there? What did you get this huuuge seat for?" "I got it for you. You look tired and I thought I would give you a seat for you to rest." "Aww...thats so nice. You bullshitted that guy just to get a seat just so I can get this huge seat?" "Well,yeah like I said you look tired and I think maybe you should relax,put your feet up. You couldnt do that with me there. "O really? And why is that?" "Well let me show you why." I got up from my seat and sat down next to her. "Put your feet up now and you;ll see why I thought you also wouldnt want me to sit there." She put her feet up and her shoes rested on me. She was wearing pink flufy boots. They looked nice. They werent even dirty from her walkin whereever. Her boots were even perfect. I didnt know what was going on here but I felt like this girl was someone special. Not just your average girl you meet and then never see again. I think this girl was someone that would be a good friend of mine for the future. "Hmm..I see your point but why wouldnt you want my foot on you? You dont love my pink boots?" "Of course I love your boots! Their pink and I like pink as a color. I just never thought of making it my favorite color. " "Well you should because pink is like the most best color in the world. It's like so pink! Its bright,its pink. Pink is good with everything,food,clothes,cars even,even for hair! "Ahahaha well if you say so. Before we keep on talking..um..I didnt get your name yet. "Ahahah really? I'm ____" "Thats a nice name to have." "You think so or are you just saying that?" "Well you tell me does this face lie? =). "Ahahaha no I dont think so but thanks for telling me that. "So your Steevey and im ____. "Yup." "So...do you mind my shoes on you? "No,no its ok. Keep them there. If your boots being there makes you feel better then leave them there. At least I get to look at your nice pink boots." "Aww, I realize that you have alot of sweet things to say. Can you always talk sweet?" "Well...yeah most of the time I can talk sweet. I'll tell you now..Im a bit shy so..I never really used my sweetness with other girls. In fact your probably like the first girl that I ever really had a long conversation with. "Omg really? I feel so special now. So im the first girl to hear Steevey's sweetness!" "You could say that. So...you live in Worcester?" "No I live in that other little town near Worcester." " Oooo you mean Strawberry." "Yup,strawberry. How bout you? " "Im a woostarian born and raised." "Awesome, I know Worcester like the back of my hand. Where do you live around ? "Do you know Main South? I live around there." "OOoo the not so good area. So what are you doing on a train going all the way from Boston?" "I go to school in Boston. The school system in Worcester sucks. "Hmm..well I go to Strawberry and it not that bad. The school is kind of gay but ehh..its ok." "Thats cool I guess." "So...what have you been going to Boston this week for? " "This week is lke the worse week to be in school for me right now so I've been skipping. "Skippping school?You actually skip school? That doesnt really help you out much at the end does it?" "Are you a nerd?" "What, you think im a nerd? What happened to sweet,funny,brave Steevey?" "Ahahaha well...you were sticking up for school. If you went to Strawberry high then you woudldnt be talking like that." "Maybe thats true,but still you get one day to hang around but is it really worth it? A day is 24 hours but if you fail in life thats about 50 years ahead of you in failure. " "50 years of failure? I dont think I;ll be missing out on much if I skip a week. "Yeah but one week leads up to two weeks and then two weeks leads up to three weeks and then" "Steevey I get it! Ok!You say I shouldnt skip school. "Welcome to the 4:58 Worcester Express. This is the 4:58 Wooorcester Express. This train will be making stops too Backbay,West Natick,Framingham,Ashland,Southborough,Westborough,Grafton,and Wooooooorcester. We hope you enjoy your trip today with the MBTA. The train will move in just a few moments so..please take your seats" "So..____ how old are you?" "Im 16 right now." "How about you?" "Im 16 too,yay we're 16 woohoo!" An old man sitting in the seat in front of us turned in his chair to look at me and ___. "Hey,kid can you quiet down?!" "Kid? Im a kid. Old man would you please stay in your business and Ill stay in my business?" I told the guy. ____ was turning a light shade of pink on her cheeks and I was wondering if she knew even her body turned pink at times. "Dont try to act like a smartass all right kid? Ive had a bad day and I dont need to hear kids yelling behind me. I hear enough noise from my wife." "Your wife is noisy? Well maybe she should be! Im a woman and I think that your wife made a mistake choosing you for a husband. "Hmpphhh,just keep quiet ok?" "We;ll try sir. If you could please turn around then we shall try our most bestest to be quiet ok mr adult? =) I told the guy with a big smile. "Smartas..." The man turned back to his seat. "I guess we're good at dissing people too" "Yeah,these people are so annoying. I hate people like that. Why cant they just mind their own business?" "I dont know ___, sometimes people have their problems and they dont know where to put their feelings. I dont want to receive that guys feelings though. I have my own problems." "Yeah,this year has been hell for me. I have to work right after I get off this train. Thats like till 9 and then I have like load of h.w and I'm too lazy to do it now. "I usually do the h.w now or sleep." I told ____. "Sleeping sounds good. I'm so tired. Howd you know that I would like get tired and do this whole stretch myself out?" "I kind of had a feeling thats all. It's like a sixth sense for me. I see something or an event and in my mind I just plan something out like what can follow next. I saw you and you just looked tired too me so..Im thinking we're going on a train and theres these big chairs,maybe she'll want to lay down." "Maybe that guy was right,maybe you are a smartass!" "Hey ___,I'm so not. I'm just smart but that doesnt mean I'm not funny." The train suddenly makes a bulge and _____ is pushed almost out of her seat. I quickly lean myself forward and catch her around the waist. "Hahahah,I wasnt expecting that! Thanks for that too,nice reflexes." "I couldnt just let you fall on the floor with me sittting above you. I would feel feel bad that I didnt do anything. And its a dirty floor and you dont need to get yourself dirty." "Dirty? I;m a dirty girl little boy." "Your dirty? Ohh so if you hold on, let me get a tissue and wipe you off." "No,y

savage beast? After I tell the story, would you get help for this dog? My brother found this dog last year. He was working in Detroit and this little puppy kept following him around. So he kept it. It is the cutest thing, he is older now. He is a pit bull, shepherd, malamute mix. He has absolutely no manners, he jumps on the couch, on the kitchen table, if they don't put him in the cage while their gone he destroys everything. And lately he's been biting strangers. We think its because hes scared and he can either run away or attack. And he attacks. But the weird thing is, I can stick my hand in his mouth, I can do anything to him and he won't attack me. And there are also 2 cats in the house. He plays with them, bites them (not hard), hes gentle with them. Is it just because he doesn't attack the people that know him? He's really bad at walking too, he pulls aggressively. Since I've known him all his life, he is the biggest baby ever, but to strangers, hes a savage! puppy: Kipper (below) <a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f194/leryn06/puppy.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a> Kipper Older <a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f194/leryn06/keithsbbq007.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a> sorry got the wrong link: http://s47.photobucket.com/albums/f194/leryn06/?action=view¤t=puppy.jpg http://s47.photobucket.com/albums/f194/leryn06/?action=view¤t=keithsbbq007.jpg http://s47.photobucket.com/albums/f194/leryn06/?action=view¤t=img039.jpg

Did you KNOW?? How many of you know that when you buy a cute fluffy little puppy from a pet store (especially a large chain pet store) you're probably supporting a puppy mill? Do you know what a puppy mill is? It is a so called breeder that breeds for profit by having their dames (mom dogs) get pregnant too close together again and again. And then they keep the poor pups and the moms (and dads for that matter) in filthy wire cages, laying in their own poop and urine without the care of vet's and with little or no exercise or affection. Really sad huh?! So please when you want to adopt a ball of little fluff go to a shelter first! They do have purebreds too, but a mixed breed is really an excellent pet. And new pups (and adult dogs as well) arrive everyday. So if you can't find just the right 'baby' for you, go back tommorrow or the next day. Maybe the right 'baby' will be waiting there, looking for just you. Please tell me your thoughts!!

Why do people get...? animals and then don't take care of them or abuse them? It's so annoying and frustrating, it's like, if you know you don't have enough money, time, or care then why get a pet? One time there was a box left outside my gate. I went outside only to have something come barking, running up to me. Someone had dropped off a dog that just had babies and I guess she was protecting her babies. Very cute, but where I live I can't keep pets. I also stay across the street from a church, and our place and the church is right behind a creek. Anyway, i kept seeing something in the tall grass by the church next to the creek but i didn't want to see what it was because there are foxes and coyotes. But my curiosity got the best and i went to check it out. And there were 6 little labrador puppies. That someone again had abandoned. And I do think it was fate because the same day I took the puppies, the church had big tractors mowing the grass in the very area where the puppies were. Who could do that?? Why not just give the puppies up to a shelter. Someone even left a little kitten by itself by my house. Why do people get pets and not take care of them? How about just not getting them in the first place? If I could have kept all of the animals or at least some i would have. It's just sad that people do this.

what do i do?

have you ever adopted a grown chihuahua from a shelter? there are no chis in the shelters around my area. i really want a chihuahua. when i lived at home, we had a chihuahua. she was so cute. we got her at a very young age. she was just 2 months old. an irresponsible woman gave her to us, after my mom convinced her to let us have her, rather than give her to the pound or a stranger. the baby loved us- especially me. shes still the cutest little button, and aven at 2 yrs old she still thinks im her momma. when i visit, shes happier to see me than my parents are *lol*. But she is suspicious of everyone else. will a dog i adopt as an adult be able to grow as attached to me as this puppy did? the only reason i want a puppy is because i want that tight bond i have with Gidget. Id take Gidget but shes my dads only friend. hes old and it would break his heart. thanks im in the palm springs area, ca. will be moving to the philadelphia area next month or so I dont know. Gidget doesnt love everyone. shes our little attack dog. literally. she is teritorial and growls at our neighbors and some visitors.

I have two questions... and they are two different topics.? First off, I have Pomeranian/Maltese mix that is 6months old, the cutest little thing. My first question is about growing out of the puppy stage. She used to be a handful, she's potty trained, but would pee in her cage all the time(I got up two or three times a night to take her out) and she'd also eat poop and not just her own she would eat our Great Danes and our Chihuahuas, and she'd always be chewing things up...Well the past two weeks it's like everything clicked she hasn't went potty in her cage she doesn't try to sneak poop, and hasn't tore up anything inside. My question I guess would be are most puppies like this? It just click one day? My other two dogs never got into the phase she was into... Also here's the one I'm concerned about. She has lost almost all of her baby teeth, but her eye teeth on top and bottom have baby teeth and adult teeth. Is this normal for both set of teeth to be in at the same time? My other two dogs never had this...I've felt to see if they are loose. I felt to see if they were loose, and they aren't loose.

slightly naughty,but not really? A little boy and his dad were walking down the street whan they saw two dogs going at it. The little boy asks his father “Daddy, what are they doing?” The father says, “Making a puppy.” So they walk on and go home. A few days later, the little boy walks in on his parents going at it. The little boy says, “Daddy, what are you doing?” The father replies, “Making a baby.” The little boy says, “Well, flip her around! I'd rather have a puppy!” now isnt that cute?the innocence of it all........
