OH, ArtColley, your paintings are beautiful!  My husband's family are 5th generation farmers.  I was a "townie" before I married him.  I love the life and wouldn't trade it for the world. 

THanks!
Yes, once a country gal, always a country gal, I guess! 

[KCJackie]

HH - sorry you had a bad night. 

MT - How would you have handled the playpen problem?  (sorry, I can't resist, LMAO)

[crazybabyborg]

Artcolley,

Beautiful works of art.....just lovely....and Trixie,  reminds me of our tuxedo cats (2)......& the border collies remind me of my SIL's Marlowe, long gone, but not forgotten. 

Thank you,
I love Border Collies, had them for over 20 years. And they were just such wonderful models for me.

I've never owned a Border Collie, but if I ever am able to even think I could retire someday, I want one! They are soooo smart and sooooo sweet! I am just gone too much from home to be fair to the breed. I did have a sheltie for 15 years, and she went to work with me!

I "inherited" a shar pei from my son, who was given a Bull Mastiff that absolutely won his heart. It was a real learning curve for me because she is as different from what I was used to as night is to day! But I'm a dog lover, and I wouldn't take a million for her now. I'm not sure I'd give you a nickle for another one, but I do love her dearly.

Hello Monkeys,  I just had to get on here and rant for a few minutes, I just got home a little while ago from going to one of the stores that I take orders from and pick things up and anyway, I was working close to the cashiers at this store and there was a Lady buying a playpin for her grandchild that was going to be born sometimes this month and the warning buzzer went off when the cashier rang here up and I saw the cashier go and take the playpen out if the Lady's cart and tell her she couldnt sell her this playpen, I went over to see if it was something I bring to the store and it was, and so I immediatly started to see how many was in the store so I could go get them out, anyway this Lady started fussing and swearing at me about the Playpen, telling me that she wanted it anyway, I said Mame I cant let you buy this item, it has been recalled because there is something unsafe about it, she then told me she didnt care she wanted it, it was the only one that she could find that was the right color, I said Mame it is dangerous in some way thats why it is being recalled, she said oh no its fine I dont care about some little problem it might have, I want it.............needless to say  I finally let here have it with both barrells, I said Mame so you want to hurt your Grandchild or watch your Grandchild get hurt because of something you bought, and guess what after everything I told her, she was still mad and cussed me good before she finally gave up and just walked out.................OMG  some people are unbelievable!!!!!!!!

You've had a hard day, HH! I'm sorry!! Sit back and put your feet up.

Can you type with your toes? 

 

I know, people are crazy! That's fine, but it's not fine when they're crazy with children!!!

Artcolley,

Thank you,

I've never owned a Border Collie, but if I ever am able to even think I could retire someday, I want one! They are soooo smart and sooooo sweet! I am just gone too much from home to be fair to the breed. I did have a sheltie for 15 years, and she went to work with me!

I'm not sure I'd give you a nickle for another one, but I do love her dearly. 

By far the Border Collies were the smartest dogs I've ever owned. Mine were also very calm, not hyper like some you see. I just loved them, Very clean, very easy to housebreak and just good dogs.
My little Bichon was "trained" by the Matriarch Border Collie and she is a wonderfully smart little girl too. She does everythign they used to do, even loves to go do "barn chores" with my hubby . Of course, she wears her denim Jeans for that, lol

[KCJackie]

Ohhhmmm........MT, are you okay?

NO, Biddeford Pool is further South. I am in the "Midcoast Region", between Rockland and Damariscotta, in that area.

Oh, I am not familair with anything inthe NE,, it's my daughter's grammie on her dad's side. Very beautiful coastline, but COLD water. I'm partial to the Gulf because it is so warm here, usually around 86 degrees. When she visits in the summer she never attempts to even put her feet in the water there.
