BigDaddyRog, cute pup! We used to have a Malamute (simular to a Husky but brown eyes instead of blue and a bit larger). With you living down in the south, you may get conflicting advice on raising him. I know we did from a know-it-all friend. He told us that Malamutes and Huskies won't live to be but about 8 or 9 but our Mako (may he rest in peace) lived to be a ripe old age of 14. We had him since he was 9 months old and every summer we would shave him (same friend said that it was a no-no) but our vet said it would be better but leave enough on him to protect him from the sun. We left about a half inch on him and he stayed active all summer. We tried one summer not to shave him and just keep him brushed but he had a hard time trying to keep cool. Half way through the summer we had him shaved and he became alive again. Just a little bit of advice, of course you are further south than we are and your vet will know better.

Well, as long as we are posting dog pictures:

This is our beagle, Scout. He's three years old:

This is our lab/shepherd mix, Bailey - she's eleven years old:

Both are great dogs - very friendly and loving, but the beagle has a set of lungs on him like to wake the dead.

does anybody do pins, are the older round metal pins {buttons} collectable or just the trading pins ? ..... Denise

I saw a lizard on my deck this morning. He just sat there and did nothing. Clouds were in the sky. The umbrella was closed. Forgot to cover the grill last night. Glad it did not rain. I could hear the spa pumps running. There was a bug on the sliding glass door. Drove the cat crazy. He could not figure out why he could not touch him. Stupid cat. Bug finally flew away. Lizard left. Guess he warmed up or bird got him. Don't really know.

I think any of them are collectable. I have one from CSR the first year it was open on Cinco de Mayo. It's probably not worth .50, but I love it!

Yeah....I had a pretty good idea that shaving would be in his future. He'll be an inside dog for the most part during the summer...I wouldnt wanna be out in this heat with a coat as thick as his....ya cant even see his skin when trying to look to see if he has fleas!!!!

Oh yeah.....I had a feeling she was lying about finding him wandering around the Walmart parking lot....dumb kid bought it......it was a really good price, but I HATE BEING LIED TO!!!! I dont feel guilty for playing her for cart parts now!!!

John, funny coincidence....my kid snuck another friggin dog home last night too...I didnt know till 6 this morning. Me and my 2 youngest had "camp out in the back yard" night last night...at 6 this morning I hear LOUD SNIFFING just ouside the tent wall...I unzip the window and am staring face o face with this beautiful white Husky pup....I freaked. I forbade ANYONE to bring home ANYMORE animals EVER again....and heres another dog!!! Kid syas the wife brought it home from work last night...Im yelling for the wife to wake up...she comes down and her first words are "where the hell did that dog come from!!??" So I know the kids lying, I turn to her and before I could even get a good screaming up, she cowers down in the corner crying saying "I knew you wouldnt let me keep it if you knew 'I' brought it home...blah, blah, blah". Looking completely pathetic, but I couldnt let her know it got to me.....So Im walking around slamming stuff and calling her a liar, and yelling at the dog(which I felt bad about, the dog is friggin gorgeous and really friendly), ya know, just really working this for everything its worth. She said it was roaming around the Walmart parking lot...a maybe 4 month old white Husky pup...just wandering around...yeah, right. Im asking her why she wont just tell me the truth, but she has stuck to the story...so, I dunno...maybe its true. Either way...she still hid him in her room, and tried to lay the blame on the ol'lady....Im pretty ticked about this, so I have to stress my point.
"The dog has to go, take it to the pound, someone will rescue him he's beautiful...he'll probably be gone before you leave the parking lot."
She's balling now....im mean literally sobbing!!! "Please, dad, PLEEEEEEAAAASSSEEE!!!!"
There's my open......I know this is completely wrong, but this is the same child who wrecked TWO of my vehicles last month because she was mad that I wouldnt let her run to her boyfriends house immediately after I fixed her car because i wanted her to bring back the truck that my BIL lent her while her car was out of commission. I twist the face up as evil looking as I can and say"If you want this dog...its gonna cost you!"
"Anything, dad, anything...how much????" (hehehe...Im a terrible father sometimes) I tell her "Its gonna cost you a rear seat and windshield."
She tells me"I didnt even mess up the seat and windshield, I crushed the bumpers!!!"....I said "Not for the cars you wrecked....for my golf cart!!!!"

Im now shopping for the seat and sport windshield...AND I have a brand new beautiful Husky....and none of its costing me a dime!!!! Am I going to hell?

Holy Crap, Rog!!! I hope this new dog is a "man's man" dog!!! You've definitely got the drama goin' at your house & you need testosterone back up!!!

So now- you have this "Queen" Chihuahua, a "Spawn of Satan" Scottie, and the "Handsome" Husky, a wife, a bunch of daughters, and a grandson that isn't old enough yet to lend you a hand. Yeah, I'd say your life is a drama!!

Now---quit trying to be the "tough guy", 'cause even I see through that thin disguise!

PS- I just saw the picture of your new baby.... man, you just could NOT have said no to that face!!

I finally got my "Orange Apron" last night!!! I am officially a Home Depot Girl!

Tomorrow, DH goes for his 3rd job interview at Lowe's. Keep your fingers crossed!!

 

[OK GRUMPY]

BDR that pup is a cutie! I think you may have a manly dog there!

 

[des1954]

she's named it Reamus...I thought she was aming it after Uncle Reamus from Songs of the South...but apparently theres a Reamus in the Harry Potter books.....she's still a Potter freak at 16!!!!

So....what's wrong with that? I'm a Potter fan at 5..... er uh, let's just say I'm much older than 16!!!

The character she's referring to is Professor Reamus Lupin. (He's a werewolf....... Werewolf?? Werewolf??? There wolf. There castle. Why are you talking that way? I thought you wanted to! Ooops! Different movie. )

Apparently the "Kid" has a new CD out called Rock n Roll Jesus . I heard a cut off it today called All Summer Long ,,got some tunes that are reminiscent of an old Palmer's tune an Skynyrd tune and something else I can't pick out ? Anyone heard it ?

 

[We4mickey]

John, We also got our stickers today. Wonderful! DH is quite excited to show them to other family members. They will be soooo jealous! Great Job!

 

[RvUsa]

My new little pee machine is curled up in my lap, snoring like a chainsaw...

 

[stacktester]

Got mine today too. Thanks John. I'll send you a pic when we get to the fort. I'm going to put mine on the back glass because I don't want it on the fiberglass because it will fade around it. Actually I don't wanna peel it lol because it's gonna get aged by the sun.
