tink - hmmm, i could channel stevie nicks:idea:then DH would think me perfect lol. when i was researching our trip, found out they routinely offer pole dancing classes in vegas hotels.


There you go! Learning skills adn techniques will get you over your shyness. You'll be a pole dancer yet!





Hubby and I are discussing adopting another dog ... she wants to place him in a good home as a loving pet/companion. We were very flattered that she thought of us as her Huskies are world renowned champions.


I'd think of you, too. Responsible pet owners aren't easy to find.


There are pros and cons for us adopting him:
1) our remaining shepherd (who is 10 now) seems lost without another dog around, however she definitely enjoys the attention she is getting as being the only dog.


Dogs always need other dogs, but not all dogs like each other. Can you set up a meet and greet? A puppy can drive a senior dog crazy if it won't pay attention to the older dog's body language. Will he back down if she's done playing, or does he need more dog socialization and a younger playmate? If he needs a younger playmate, could you adopt two at once, or would the simultaneous training be a little much? Is the breeder close enough that you can set up frequent play dates with her dogs?


2) my Mom, who just turned 79, takes care the the critters for us when we're away ... When we had all 3 dogs, it was a little much for her (keeping in mind Strider was a larger than average Shepherd, and Bailey had her old age ailments.
3) we now have 1 cat and 2 kittens (well they're really small cats now LOL) - they get along fine with Dawnie our remaining shepherd, but how will they get along with the new addition?
4) because this pup has the same coloring as my Bailey, would it be to painful for me? Just so you can see what I mean - here are pictures of the pup Tanner (on the left) and Bailey (on the right)

Tanner is a gorgeous dog, and we really don't have any reservations about his cataracts (juvenile cataracts are different than old age cataracts), I guess I'm just not sure :confused: I'm confuzzled

I so agree with Janet about doing more breed research. I'm not a Husky expert by any means, but I've known a few and their owners. Take the next few comments as a general observation, and not the gospel truth.

Huskies are smart and easy to teach, but not easy to train. They are VERY independent. And WOW - talk about never ending energy! He will need a place to run, run, run. Huskies are also Houdini escape artists.

Are these quirks that will drive you insane, or will you love them and be entertained by them as you deal with them? You may want to find an online discussion group for Husky owners and ask the experts what to expect, and what is required to keep both of you happy.

Most young dogs and cats learn to love each other as long as they are introduced correctly. You can find all kinds of info on that online, too. I'll try to find the links I've given people before. They're on the laptop that died last year.... I have no cats right now, so I haven't had to introduce cats and dogs for years.

As for your heart, does it break every time you see Tanner? Can you look at him as a unique individual and not an imperfect replica of Bailey? They have different faces and I'm sure their personalities are very different, too. Some people find similar appearances very comforting, and others don't. :hug: Either way, you're the only one who can answer the question about whether or not he will make you sad.

You don't have to make the decision right away. Take your time so you're sure about it.



So.......it looks like due to Frank's work......I'll be moving to Orlando. :rolleyes1


YOU LUCKY BOOGER!!!!!!!!!! Guess you'll be buying FL passes to the parks soon, right?



oh yeah- before I forget-
Think about the size of the Jaws/Amityville attraction.
It would be the right size for a hobbit shire........:rolleyes1
OR
Xavier's mansion where the xmen train.............:rolleyes1
OR
Sherlock Holmes' place in London........:rolleyes1
OR
A real swamp within a real swamp for Shrek......:rolleyes1
OR
the HP addition.............:rolleyes1
or a pole for dancers.

Of course you'll get a job with Disney. :wizard:
But you'll still need a Universal pass.
I dare you to live in Orlando and not visit the Simpsons, the Mummy, Spiderman, Harry Potter and Mythos several times a year. :cool2:
 
I wish you luck in your endeavors, Rap. I hear Orlando is a pretty tough place to find a job right now. Hopefully it will work out for you.
 

Congrats Andy..:thumbsup2

You can always work at both Disney and UO.Alot of TM's are CM's and vise versa.This way you don't have to worry about AP's.
 
Howdy Yall..just dropping in for a quick visit.

Been away from the DIS for a little while. I had to cancel our WDW trip we had planned for the end of Jan. So, I needed time to mourn LOL. I'm better now. Almost finished with my Xmas shopping. I am buying the last present tomorrow (for DH) a new grill...shh don't tell him. I am going to hide it at my parents house until Xmas Eve, DH has to work and I can sneak it back home......hehehe! DS gets out for Xmas break on the 15th....way earlier than last year. DD doesn't get out until the 20th.

Hope everyone is well. ttfn!

We are going to set up a meet and greet, and yes, we are fully aware of the husky traits (Bailey was actually a husky cross). I honestly don't know how I'll react to Tanner in person until I see him. Looking at the pictures, right now it's mostly his colors (white with pink nose and brown eyes) that remind me of Bailey - and then the puppy pics that the breeder sent do look exactly like Bailey when she was a pup. Seeing Tanner's pictures make me realize how much I miss Bailey.

Hey Bonny,have you decided yet on the dog?
Yes and no ... :laughing:

i'm here to solve the situation.

1. live with frank.

2. teach pole dance lessons.



congrats on the relocation to the sunshine state!
will you have a big party with a bonfire when we all come to town??
 
tink, you were missed here.


sorry about the canceled trip.
that has to hurt. :hug:

but,
there are more trips in the future for youse!

it may happen sooner than you think.


i hear andy is gonna rent out rooms in the new place he will be moving to...

hey! that is a great idea.
andy/robbie can get a place with extra bedrooms and rent them out to homies during their orlando vacations...
 
Welcome back tink, sorry to hear about your cancelled trip. As someone who has had to cancel a few myself, I feel your pain. Just think of your trip as postponed instead...it gives you more time to save up and do something extra special.

Bonny, I hope you get your pup. We adopted a husky pup, Sasha (also known as the blue eyed demon), in January and she has become a beloved family member. I also have an older dog, Chewy, who was pining away for his doggy friend Harley who passed away in 2009. He is now acting like a pup again and loves his new companion.

Robby/Andy :woohoo:congrats on your move and good luck getting a job. With your acting experience you should be able to find work at one of the parks.

I finally have 2 days off in a row for the first time in 5 weeks ....I need to be cleaning house and decorating the tree....instead I'm here:surfweb: Oh well, I can clean tomorrow.

Have a great weekend everyone:goodvibes
 
vicki, let me guess why you named your doggie Chewy.....


either you were a SW fan or the doggie really liked to 'chew'

Both, the alternative was to name him Termite as he chewed all of my porch railings nearly in half. I'm glad he outgrew that habit.

yes, not a good thing if you like being on the porch and lean over the railing.
 
Thanks for the well wishes everyone. It looks like we're leaving the day after Christmas. Lord, I hope we're making the right decision!

i wish you both a safe trip!

be sure to put your doggie in a seat belt.
wait, make sure he is in a traveling thingy.


hope you and Frank find a nice place to stay while you apartment hunt.





 
when you wake up each day, say "this is the first day of the rest of my life"
and when you arise and leave for Florida, know we are all will you, pushing you out the door, in the car, and driving along as you start something new.:goodvibes

IF by chance you get a 3 bedroom place, you could rent out a room to one of us, just saying..........:rolleyes1

I will pay cash upfront, I dont snore, and will clean the bathroom.
Just dont ask me to drink tapwater. That is where I draw the line.
Macca can vouch for me. :surfweb:


and, I can teach you some colorful words for increasing your vocabulary. ANYBODY can vouch for me on that.(comes with being a Yankees fan) :3dglasses
 
Yup, its official official. Frank is supposed to start the first week of January! Now to find a place to live and find me a job!! :scared1:

Congratulations......I wish you all the luck in the world.....enjoy your new life :thumbsup2
