Hey Stacey - everything OK back in AZ??? Sounds like Cave Creek got drenched....

Rainfall around Arizona during the weekend included 1.28 inches in Phoenix, 2.36 at Apache Junction, and 2.01 at Cave Creek, authorities said.

Been thinking about that CC thought... miss the boat, stay all week... I say we all do it!!! [/QUOTE]


Happy Valentines Day everyone!!!

DH is putting a damper on our castaway on cc plans - ever the practical engineer, he pointed out that we'd have to fix our own conch coolers, prepare our food, and wouldn't have the awesome Disney staff entertaining our children...

and wouldn't have the awesome Disney staff entertaining our children...

Sure we would... we get them back on the ship, then make a run for it!

 

[Dancind]

Sorry, count me out on that one. Haven't you heard the stories about the bugs that come out at night on CC?


I'll go back to my nice cozy bug-free cabin, thanks very much.

How do you think those bugs GOT there? They hopped a DCL cruise from FL, and decided to stay... just like the rest of us!

Nice to know someone else thinks about mowing the same way I do...Joke in my family is that I get my once-a-year lawn mowing in when I return "home" to visit my parents. I'm 37 and Dad still starts the mower and fills up the gas for me like he did when I was a kid.

Now, with dh working on his MBA, I've stopped writing the checks and started pushing the mower, for the 1st time in 15 years of marriage. I'm threatening to turn the backyard into a basketball court!

I mowed the lawn too when we lived in Michigan. I think that was because I when Jim wanted a riding lawn mower after we moved into a house from the condo, I said "Don't buy a riding lawn mower, you won't need it. No one else in the neighborhood will have one. WRONG- our next door neighbor had one and it would grate on Jim's nerves every time he saw Danny mowing his lawn. I think the only thing Jim enjoyed about that whole episode was my having to say "You are right. I was wrong.".

"You are right. I was wrong.".

Those are the words I love to hear!!!

Happy Valentine's Day!!

Hi All!!
No way am I going to go back and read everything to catch up...so I'll just jump in and say hi for now!
I had limited access to the net at Mom's, so I wasn't able to spend all night online like I do here.
All went very well...and she's doing great. Thank heavens. It was hard to leave, but I'm glad to be home.
Now to just get caught up again, so that I can start thinking "Cruise thoughts"!!

 

[WDWLVR]

Welcome back Stacey! We missed you! Good thing we knew were you were or Amanda would put out an APB on you!

Welcome back, Stacey!! Glad you're home and safe!

 

[justmestace]

Thanks, guys....good to be back.
Ohminnie...I hesitate to ask.....what's the story with Maggie? I haven't read, so I hope I'm not opening a sore subject......
We had no word on Molly while I was gone, so I guess we'll never know. My brother and his wife are trying to get a Yorkie from a breeder, and they had to go through a process that sounded like they were adopting a child! I would love to have a little "fluff" dog....but I don't even want to think about it for a long long time. Maybe if I keep booking cruises, I can keep telling myself that we are gone too much to have a dog!

 

[ohiominnie]

Ohminnie...I hesitate to ask.....what's the story with Maggie? I haven't read, so I hope I'm not opening a sore subject......

Well, here's the story as I know it. I was instigating chaos over here! Seems that she's a little ADHD (for lack of a better word) and when she gets excited she forgets the rules. So we'd be playing, she'd get crazy and bite at my foot and "roo" (not really a low belly gutteral growl) Well, I'd bend over and tell her firmly "Maggie, NO!" She would see me hunched over and take that as me wanting to play. Then she's bite and "roo" and run around. At which point I'd lunge for her to try to get her to get her under control. That made her more crazy and so she'd run at me, snap and run away quick as anything.

Well....after a long talk with the breeder (who offered in a heart beat to take her back and replace her with a puppy from her next litter) and a lot of introspection (wouldn't it just be easier to label this dog as "aggressive" so I could be done with hair and poop and being 'tied down'??) we have come to the conclusion that more than likely *I* am the problem! How about that???

So I've been doing a lot of reading about dog behavior and signals and I'm turning into quite the "dog whisperer." It's not perfect, she has had two "time outs" just today, but nothing has escalated into the frightening situations that were occurring before. Her general attitude lately has changed too. Instead of being a dog who could care less about us she has become very loving. She wants to be around us. She likes to be pet and scratched. She turns her belly up to us to scratch (a sign of sumbission)

Since we've tried to stop bullying our way to dominance she has become more submissive. Of course, as you can see by her "time outs" she still has problems here and there. The weather hasn't helped that as she's so cooped up and lacking exercise!

Anyway, that's where we stand. I'm heading to FL in 10 days....Mike will be alone with Maggie for a week. Maybe when I get home she'll be gone!

Sorry to hear there's been no word about Molly.

It's another character "meet n greet" from "Bug's Life", "The Rescuers", "Jungle Book", etc.

Hi Pam! Be sure and let us know when you are in Albuquerque. If you have a lunch or dinner to spare, we can have a mini-meet!

Hey Diana,

We will let you know once we get the final summer schedule. Should know within the next few weeks. Hope it comes out soon, so we can schedule a little family time this summer.

Pam
