VWL Lovers & Groupies thread: It all started with a Moose

[stopher1]

Stopher, say it isn't so, not a cat lover???? Oh well, how about a Corgi??

Sorry Muush, it's so... not only do I not like them... I am mildly allergic to them. Which kind of blows since we have one. I don't like living on pills during the winter months when the house has to be shut up due to the cold, or the worst of the summer when it must be shut up due to the heat. Spring and Fall are good with the windows open. I've been tested, and allergies to cats, but not to dogs.

I've always loved the look of Corgis, but I'm not sure. We had German Shepherds, Cocker Spaniels and Poodles growing up, and my aunt/uncle have always had Golden Retrievers, Labradors and Saint Bernards - so I was always surrounded by wonderful dogs. My younger son and daughter both REALLY want one too... and they've researched Beagles, Malamutes, Corgis, Huskies, Norwegian Elkhounds, Puggles, and Scottish Terriers. But I'm just not sure which way we'll go yet. Problem is, we've been talking about it for several months, and have practically promised it will be after our next trip to WDW... which of course is in 4 days.... so I'm in a bit of a quandry now. I haven't committed to anything yet, and need to get on the stick and start contacting some breeders and the like - or play roulette and just go to the pound, again... and again... and again until we get lucky.

Pound puppies are the best.

PS We are both allergic to cats AND dogs!

HL, great pictures, I forgot to say thank you!



Actually the contractor was just here a few minutes ago. They didn't hook up the dishwasher correctly and had to fix it. But other than a couple of cabinet doors that need replacing and an area of the granite that needs a little TLC, it is done! My problem is that I no longer have my internet that allowed me to post pictures and I am a tad lazy to get hooked up with another.
Any pic-posting Groupies out there that I could email them to?

I would offer but I'm lagging on posting my pics of what I call "The door project" on my PTR!

Pound puppies are the best.

Very often they are, yes. So many that need a good home. Unfortunately our local shelter constantly has an inordinate number of Pit-Bulls or Pit-Bull mixes - and I'm not interested in those. We did miss our chance a couple of months back on a beautiful little Puggle, but DW wasn't sold on the idea just yet... it was sad. But that's the way the pound method goes sometimes.

I missed this the first time around... you can send them to me Muush and I'll be happy to oblige.

My next door neighbor's kid is a mousekeeper at the contemporary. She absolutely refuses to make towel animals anymore simply because of the number of times so called "happy moms" accost her in the hallway and literally threaten her if their ray of sunshine does not have towel animals left for them. She has been called every thing from "black ^$&tch", told to "go back to Africa" if she doesn't want to do the job right (the closet that kids been to Africa is the movie "out of Africa" with Meryl streep") and told that they (the parents) would be waiting for her the next day if they didn't get towel animals. all the poor kid wants to do is graduate from college
.

Oh eliza that's just awful.. so sorry she has to put up with such cruel behavior

Eliza As my DW says, thats crazy. Im not sure if there is a cure for ignorance.

My DH has a sign in his office that says "You Can't Fix Stupid"

Horselover thanks for the pics sorry you didn't get to do all the things you were looking forward to doing.
Hope you get to fit them in in December

Ahhh, tea pot, you're so sweet...

I hope your stay is wonderful. What's on your agenda?

Just 3 more sleeps... Leaving Sunday Morning

Our Agenda is pretty loose this visit... just the "Big Guy" and me.
Planning on taking in much of the Flower Show and a few rope drops esp. at the Magic Kingdom.
We would sure enjoy some company at a Parade or Fireworks
maybe even another spin around Future World on our favorite Wee People Mover

Tomorrow is April 1 AKA April Fool's Day and
Yes We are getting Snow only a few inches here just outside of Boston
but just north of here they will be getting 6-12 inches.

I really should start to pack
Take Care Groupies

Sounds nice. Very nice. Do you know which days you'll be doing those things? Epcot, in particular?


Hey, do you by chance still have that little drawing I gave you that morning at the WCC? If so, could you possibly scan it and send it to me? I'm about to transition in my Bicoastal TR from CA to WDW and would love to be able to include that if possible. I've been working on getting some updates done to that long overdue TR - and yes, some Groupies will be showing up in it, once I get it done.

Ohh! So sweet! Email on it's way, thank you!

Joy, have a wonderful time at WDW.

Disney truly is in a hard spot. How many times do we see post where people want to know if they can throw precious a bday party at the pool and invite 20 non guest? Heck, I've been told a number of times by guest staying at Ft wilderness that with the money they kick out for disney, they should be allowed to swim anywhere.
That's a hard attitude to combat and unfortunately for disney, I think it's a very common attitude.

Wow eliza.....insane that people are like this. Sorry to hear it. People can be so ignorant.

Loved the baby video you posted......so cute !

 

[MiaSRN62]

stopher....I'm gonna let you slide on the kitty cat Far Side comic !

teapot......I know.....this snow coming is insane. Luckily I shouldn't get more than an inch or so out of it, but areas just 90 min north of me are looking at 6-9 inches !

Corgi's rule! Cat's drool! (Isn't that how it goes???) Speaking of cats - I just met my brother's yesterday. A cute little calico girl who has 3 teeth left. The poor girl has also apparently had diarrhea since Dec! At least that's when my brother took her to the vet and she still has it. And of course I'm sure she's had it since long before he took her to the vet. My cousin has taken her into her home and had her to the vet and so far nothing other than low thyroid. Another vet switched her food so hopefully that will end the problem.

And my brother's funeral is tomorrow. Everything is planned and now to get thru the day. It's been very different in planning since he had estranged himself from the family for almost 8 years. A couple of his recent friends have felt they needed to take care of the planning although none of us know them. We did nix their idea of placing a snake in the coffin. My nephews and niece would have been none to keen on the idea. And we also nixed the bright yellow coffin. And the fur hat on the head.

Horselover - nice pictures! It's amazing how many different light fixtures there are!!!

Praying you through the day Kathy...

On the feline front... of course - who do you think that little creature likes best in this house? yeah... me.

No, it's cats rule and Corgis rule!!

Oh my. Your description of what they wanted to do for your brother, I must confess, I chuckled.
Prayers that the funeral is just what his children need for closure. And for you too.

On behalf of Muushka...

I give you the before shots..

It looks quite awesome, as we consider a trip as you have considered.

 

[DiznyDi]

Thanks Muush via Stopher for the remodel pictures. Looks fabulous. I wish my countertops looked like that: not only the granite but clean too! Ddad will confirm, I'm a 'piler'.

Thinking of you today Kathy as you lay your brother to rest. May Gods peace be with you.

 

[Dizny Dad]

But you're the most organized "piler" I know! Couldn't live without your piles, dear.

Get ready, dear - 35 days to go!

 

[Muushka]

Stopher, thank you for posting those for me. You are the best

Oh, DD, you have to know that my pictures were staged! I did them for the contractor to use for a CD to show his work and for the cabinet guy who will use that section that I added to our nook area (the wood colored cabs with the little ball feet) on his internet site for an ad. Otherwise, there is more 'stuff' on them!

Does anyone see the Lodge in them? I sure do! Those pendant lights cost an arm and a leg and if we ever sell the house, they are going with me!

Awww. Once again, I love the way DD always lifts his dear DD up!

Kathy, we are with you today in spirit.

 

[Dizny Dad]

. . . . . you have to know that my pictures were staged! . . . . . . :

We could use some of your staging ability. . . . You obviously have the nack!

(After we are staged, are we allowed to live in the place?)
