Morning All

Tiny, the BF has 6 dogs I just have the 2: Minnie and Jack And sometimes I wish I didn't even have two. Hair, dirt, yuck. I'm starting to sound like DH--the ol' grump.

Yeah I understand. We have had our Shih Tzu (Lady) for 15 years now, going on 16, and have loved it. She is hypoallergenic (which is great because my allergies are going to be the death of me!) and doesn't shed at all. She also hates dirt, water, and anything "yucky". Its kind of hilarious actually! When it rains she refuses to walk in the grass...

Then 10 years later we got Abby. Oh Abby! She is a red haired golden retriever. She has a skin condition which makes her skin dander amplify by about 10x. Needless to say I am HIGHLY allergic to her! I'm away at college though so it works! She sheds her entire coat nearly every day I feel. I have to wash EVERYTHING I take to my parents house when I get home and take my shoes off before I step in the house! She is a great dog though and for the size and amount of shedding she actually doesn't make the house smell like a "pets" house... Enough about my dogs!

I may have the chance to go to Orlando several time this year for dog shows. I went to the Universal website to get prices for annual passes, but the only links that worked were the ones for the Florida residents. Does anyone know what the annual passes cost if you're NOT a FL resident?

On a better note, we adopted a new Ridgeback dog named Roo from a breeder and we're fostering another one named Honey until we find the perfect home for her. Roo is a show dog whose first owner lost her job and couldn't afford to show her anymore. So she was returned to the breeder who has her hands full with three other dogs she's showing, and two retired female dogs who won't let Roo integrate into the pack. I'm going to try to finish her championship this summer/fall. Honey is a 2 y/o whose owners were getting ready to have a baby and just didn't want to bother with her anymore. Grrrr.... Their loss is someone else's amazing gain. It's so great having a house full of playing dogs again. Rock was lonely without Brodie, and now he has two friends to keep him company.

My ex's roomate had a Ridgeback and he was the sweetest thing. Whenever I'd come over he would run to me.....mainly cause I gave him more affection than they did. I think I liked the dog better than than the person I was dating.....of course that's why they're an ex now.

Hi homies! We had a wonderful, relaxing time at the beach. The weather was perfect. Now that spring break is over, our summer vacay is getting closer.

Here are a few pics, first a beautiful sunset over the lagoon. (marci this one is for you)

Our beach rental is the lavendar one. I was very pleased. I used VRBO (I had never used them before), and was a little nervous, but everything went well, and the home was very nice.

Mac sorry for your loss and hope your son is feeling alright.

Hope all the bad spring weather is finished, and everyone has some nice, warm weather for a change.

Well off to wash a bazillion loads of clothes

I just reread your post about Brodie. So sorry to hear that you never found him--he's probably with someone.

What beach is that at if you don't mind me asking?

Btw, there is a smiley face in the bucket


Edit: I have to comment on VRBO. I am a big fan. We own a beach vacation rental program and it brings in a lot of rentals. But, if you ever have a bad rental don't blame VRBO, blame the agency. VRBO is merely a search engine like Google. Vacation Rentals is a good one too.

We've rented from VRBO a couple of times and have been mainly satisfied. It's such a big what if for me--not like renting from a hotel at all. Your trip looks gorgeous--glad you didn't post those pics when it was snow flurrying last week.

Its beautiful Gulf Shores, AL. We live in Mobile, so just about a 1-1/2 hours away. A lot of the kids from Mobile go there for Spring break every year. Gulf Shores and Orange Beach, AL are both nice places to go for a beach getaway, and really need a tourist boost, due to the oil spill, and no business last summer. I was glad to see lots of tourist there this week. We even met a family from Minnesota.

We own a beach vacation rental program in Cape San Blas, FL. We weren't directly impacted by the oil spill but the news reports made it seem like the entire ocean was black so we lost a lot of rentals. The town is also in need of a boost. It's heart breaking to see families lose everything and once high executive realtors working cashier at Piggly Wiggly.

Yes, but I didn't see it in person, just on the local news. Mostly tar balls. They used booms, and cleaned some out in the water. The oil that made it on the beaches was cleaned by hand and this machinery that did deep cleaning of the sand (sorry I forgot what its called). Several places went out of business due to the oil spill and no tourist. We saw a few signs, that read, out of business..due to oil spill. BP paid some claims and didn't pay others, the shrimpers and fishermen have had it bad too. So, I hope this summer is good for all of them.

in illinois, we have the graduated drivers license program.
a teen can get their license at 16 but for 6 months from then, they have to have a parent or over 21 licensed relative with them.
at age 17, only one other person in the car with the new driver.
that is after the probation period is over.

i love the states that have the restricted license program.

the scholarship you mentioned, that's only $11,ooo a year.
it cost us at least $20k per year on our boys, at least and some were more.

i hate thinking college costs.
