Wild Turkeys and Dancing Banana Heads Cruise 11/25/06

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Hey,
I heard on the news this morning it was national take your dog to work day today!
Anybody out there try this today
I have never heard of it before, but it could be interesting if you worked in a meat market??

Mutt and Woogal, Tiggerking,
Did any of you take your "kids" to work today?
If not, dont let them see the news tonight or they may get hurt feelings or mad at you!!

Nurse at Dr. office said she wished she had brought her Chiwawa( spelled wrong).

well have a good weekend,

kathy

Kathy, I have asked EVERY year if we could participate in Take Your Dog to Work Day, and every year I hear NO! That's OK ... maybe someday I'll be in charge and bringing your dog to work will be mandatory!

 

[LindaBabe]

TiggerKing - both - so that's two good ideas. Except that on ship he has tended to switch to Coronas. Thank you!

 

[TiggerKing]

Heck Kathy, I didn't even want to bring MYSELF to work today. I wasn't going to subject my babies to the issues I have to deal with at the office!

Woo...Where you been this week? I haven't heard from you lately!

 

[woogal]

Check your e-mail, Bob!

 

[Dixielady908]

I would have loved to bring my dog to work. Most of us in the office are "dog" people so I would imagine that it would be a real site to see all the dogs together. However, since I work in a Doctor's office I'm sure our patients would not be to happy..

Well it sounds like were going to have a nice weekend...enjoy everyone...

HI Everyone - sorry I havn't posted in a while.

Welcome Runa!!!

Hope things are going well for everyone. I've been really busy lately around here with work, getting DS registered for Kindergarten, DHs work (just got a call yesterday to build a car for someone in LA for July 11th). Needless to say I am not expecting to see him for the next week or so. My Dad is coming to visit tomorrow night. He lives in Thailand, so it will be great to see him! Also a big help with DS seen as how DH will not be around so much. DH seems to really be getting into the cruise - he was scoping out Pirate costumes on ebay!! So, I think I've got him sold. I was going to try and buy tuxs through ebay for him and DS for formal night but don't think I will bother. He can wear his 'wedding suit' and we'll just get something nice for DS. I figure this is likely the only time they would ever wear a tux so why go through the hassle just for one night. I still might look into that rental thing they offer on board - but we'll see. I am planning on ordering DS a basket from Shirley, and might get a 'mom and dad' basket as well - mainly beer and wine I would imagine - but we'll see. Other than that not too much new here. It's been quite warm - but nothing to what you guys down South have! Quite dry too - I have the sprinkler on the lawn as we speak. Does anyone know anything about this: I planted Zinnias (sp?) in my front bed and it looks like the leaves have all been eaten pretty much clean away - would ants do that????? Is there anything I can do - my annuals look really pathetic!!

FavSlave - how much are the shirts if we don't get to 101?? If it's only a few $$ more then not a big deal.

Hope everyone has a GREAT weekend!

Hi everyone,
finally getting some rain today!!

Last night we had a dog show up at our house starving and raw tootsies from walking so much. She isnt very old, a Boston terrier I believe. We fed her and gave her water too. She was really afraid of us at first. She may have been abused, dont know. We felt bad, but had to call animal control to get her. Man was so kind and good with her. We are going to call the shelter on Monday to see if the owners have reported her missing or if anyone has claimed her. If no one gets her by the time her time is up, we will probably adopt her. We couldnt live with ourselves if she were put down. She really bonded with DH last night. She got BBQ'd ribs, hot dogs and bread and gravy to hold her over. That's better than DH eats!!!
So next week I may be joining those of you with furry kids!!!
I will let you know what happens. we could provide a good safe loving home for her very easily.

Not much else happening around here today. I am waiting to watcht he ship pull out on the web cams. I think the sail away party will be in the atrium today, it is really rainy today.

Have a good saturday everyone,
Kathy

 

[fourfoxesinpa]

LOTS of rain here too! Us Four Foxes participated in our local Relay for Life for the American Cancer Society so we are just shot! I'm holding my eyes open as I don't want to go to bed too early and not be able to get up. DD is to dance in an Irish Step Dance Competition (a/k/a a Feis) tomorrow but I fear that will be rained out. Oh well, I've secretly been wishing for a reason to stay home.

Less than 5 months to go. VERY exciting! Can you believe it's almost 4th of July!?!?!

I can't wait for Southwest to open up their schedule so we can get to Florida!

Have a happy Sunday everyone!

 

[woogal]

Woohoo Kathy! Of course you realize that this means you have to change your login to Mom X5!

 

[cruisemutt]

Happy 5 months til we hit the open sea everyone. Seems to be going faster than before....I clearly remember "happy 6 months" happening about two weeks ago. Time flys.... Seemed like a month ago, my peppers were just getting planted....and the Cleveland Indians were in last place. Now my peppers are growing like mad and the Indians.............Ok, my peppers are growing nicely......
Have a good weekend everyone.
I hope ya get that pup, Kathy....I think you'll be a great pup dog mom!

[Dixielady908]

We hit the 5 month mark....now the time is really going to fly...

Happy Sunday everyone....this weekend has flown by. Why dosnt the work day go this fast? Between cleaning house yesterday and a graduation party. Today I got up and went grocery shopping, then started getting dinner ready...making red sauce for italian speghetti tonite, I also made carmel rolls from scratch. I havent made them in a good 12 years. I was talking to the girls at work last week and mentioned how I used to make them alot and how good and full of calories they are. So they asked me to make a batch. It took me almost 2 hrs to make them. I forgot all the work involed. However, they turned out great and tast wonderful.
Well enough of my exciting life. Enjoy the rest of your day....

Denise

 

[TiggerKing]

I think Disneydiva had to pull off of this cruise and maybe someone else, i've been in my own little world and probably forgot to take someone off of the list. (please let me know if I am wrong, I am SO used to it ) If so, that puts us at 26. But we have had more people join our HAPPY Family

Just let me know. Turn around for the t-shirts is about 10 day and I would like to get them in the mail two weeks before the cruise.

HAPPY MONDAY.

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

I just had to say that on Friday I will become a mommy again!!!
DH just called from the shelter and and the dog we rescued was still there so we have adopted her!
Cant get her til friday due to being spayed and shots but that is ok.
I need to do some serious shopping for a doggie bed, food dishes, leash, food, toys etc.....

In other words I need to fix up a doggie nursery for her

I am trying to think of a good name, but no luck yet

If anyone has any ideas for a 1 year old Boston terrier (female) please let me know. Any other tips are most appreciated too.

She has been starved and abused so she will need lots of extra love and care.

I am sooooo excited!! Need to find a good kennel to leave her when we cruise too unless my son is staying here, which is about 80% chance.

well got to go and start getting things ready for the new arrival!

Kathy

 

[DutchsMommy]

Congrats Kathy!!!!!!!!! That's really exciting.

Thanks for the info Tonya. I think whether we get to 101 or not the price difference is not so big. I may also go down to just one shirt each - but we'll see a bit closer to the date.

Hope everyone had a great weekend. Gotta get back to work - talk to you soon.

Sarah

 

[TiggerKing]

Kathy:

Name her "Princess" since it sounds like that is how she will be treated, and deservedly so based on what it sounds like her recent past has been! Welcome to the world of furry children!

 

[cruisemutt]

Congrats Kathy! I wasn't around for my Guidos (woo and I have a boston if you didn't know) formative years but I've heard it was a very "active" time. We also have some experience with an abused animal. Just be patient and understanding...your new addition will be better than any cruise you could ever take.

 

[Dixielady908]

Kathy, that poor little puppy....how sad.. Why do people have dogs or any animal if they just abuse and starve them? I just cant figure that one out. But it will have a great home now and will have a great life. Congrats on your new addition.
