Begging for Ban Thread #11

[darla]

Growing up we had a standard doxie, named Gretchen, she was mellow. Heidi was a black and brown miniature doxie, she wasn't so mellow, very smart dogs. But neither of ours were good with children, me yes, but no other kids. 

It's  a small world isn't it. The doxie we had when the kids were growing up was name Gretchen. She was black and tan and full size. She was a big ole baby too. But if you left her alone she would destroy the house. She hated to be alone. I worked night shift and the kids were old enough to stay by themselves at night, They left for school at 7:45 and I got home at 8:45 and she would have the trash torn out. the toilet paper all unrolled and all over the house. Anything was fair game.

Ok off to get dressed, see you Monkeys later tonight.

Heidi was the one that would love to rip toilet paper, and if she could get her mouth on kleenix from the trash bin in the bathroom she was having a good day

  Okay monkeys. I gotta get in the shower, slap on some makeup (for family function, not for church) then get to church. Hope everyone has a great day and the ones with snow, it starts to melt.

I have both van seats in my family room and he comes home and says no tree as there was no room in the van.   

Please please please put your van seats back in the van!  One thing the manufacturers will never tell van owners <ahead of time> is IF they take the van seats out of the back, and IF they get rear-ended, that van will go airborne and the driver seat will flip backwards flat on the floor behind.  This happened to my mid-son, that's when we found out.  Manufacturer just went    "sorry, thought you knew". 

  Oh that isn't good, don't have a van, but wow. I wouldn't even know how to take a seat out of a car.

Yeah, it's not easy!  Harder yet putting them back in, which is why many just get left out and end up being used as seating elsewhere.  A van dealer can put em back in, for a fee of course.   Figures, eh?

Long time ago we lived by this guy that obsessed with his car, every two weeks the front seats came out so he could clean the car and seats, I use to watch him in amazement

  How awful. I hope he wasn't hurt

 

Yeah he was taken out on a backboard, but at least not hurt badly or permanently.   Actually both front seats flipped back flat, so a friend of his in the passenger seat was also taken out on a backboard.  Both doing fine.  Van was totalled from being rear-ended.  But when the seats flipped backwards onto the floor, son driving couldn't see, had no control over the van any longer, couldn't reach the pedals or the steering wheel.  He was seat-belted into the seat on the floor.  The van, having gone airborne and then out of control, crashed into the residence next door.  It was doubly totalled in the back and then in front, and my insurance co was not happy campers.  They went after the other driver <uninsured of course>  and the van manufacturer as well.  Who wouldn't do a van recall, saying it is the owners responsibility not to remove the seats in the first place.   Oh well.. a lesson learned.  Just am glad my son and friend escaped with their lives.  And next door neighbor got some free remodeling and a paint job.  lol

I saw the prettiest wired haired doxie at Petsmart up for adoption yesterday. She is being treated for heartworms and didn't feel good. I just wanted to take her home, but Josef wouldn't tolerate it.

Awwwww..  Well Josef is smart, he knows when he's got it made in the shade!

Was Gretchen a long-haired?  I haven't met many mellow smooth-haireds.  lol  I had one named Samson and my bff while growing up had one named TootsieRoll.  Funny how some doxies like kids, some don't.  Neiko loves kids.  The only thing in the world he doesn't like much are teeny tiny dogs with shrill yaps who never stand still.  He looks at them like WTH is that?  lol

Growing up, we had a black/tan female doxie we named Schnitzie and after her, we got a red long hair male for Christmas (this was back in the mid 60's) and he was named Rudy (for Rudolf). They were both great pets, but a bit high strung. The very best dogs I have ever personally owned have been mixed breeds. They have been the most even tempered. Even Brandi is a mix. Golden Retriever and something.

That's just been my experience.

Good morning everyone!

You're SOOOOOO lucky to have a fast metabolism!!  I gain weight just sitting here reading about all these yummies!!   

[Brandi]

I love sloppy joes also  Mission we have egg nog here, believe me, over the last couple weeks I have over indulged. Christian Brothers Egg Nog Brandy, we can't seem to find here anymore. Just looked through the ads in the Sunday paper, I should have known better, now a trip to Old Navy is in store, another store that drives me crazy, but they have some nice sales 

Ok well I would have sent you some if egg nog was out of the question no one should be with out it at Christmas - good luck at Old Navy they do have good sales and the quality is good too.  Ok monks I am over and out need to get my rear in gear - have a great day and I will see you later. 

You have a great day, the way I'm drinking egg nog, I may have to have you send me some  I love the pumpkin spice flavor 

pumpkin spice egg nog that sounds yummy 

Speaking of pumpkin spice ... sister sent us a Christmas gift (it was shipped directly from us from the store) and said Open Immediately. Inside was an assortment of English muffins and toppings. Some of the flavors were pumpkin spice (absolutely wonderful!) maple almond, sour dough and cinnamon raisin. They were from Wolferman's ... I recommend them! www.wolfermans.com

Delish!

What IS it about toilet paper and kleenex?     That would be a good day for Neiko too!  That and de-stuffing anything with stuffing inside.  Like pillows and toys.  I finally gave in and let him have empty toilet paper rolls to play with, and he leaves my couch cushions alone.

Gretchen was a smooth-haired. Neither dogs liked other dogs. When my parents had guests over, Heidi had to go in her little house full of blankets and toys in the basement, because they couldn't take a chance of Heidi biting someone
