Uh-oh! Do goats like picnic tablecloth dresses?

Don't know if I'll get another dog (somehow in the 16 years I had my dog, I became mildly allergic) but if I did, it would be one of these breeds or a mix.

                                    

Don't know if I want something as big as a Weimy, but it would be all too tempting to get one and then go all "William Wegman" on it.

I'd put on some goat repellant, if I were you, HnS!

Loral

She'll eat anything, I also have a bird.

Think my goats would eat anything on that table after, of course, first climbing on it. No meat please. Don't know of a goat repellant once they get used to you. Kinda wary of strangers.

Now my rat terrier would eat it all. She's on prednisolone for her allergies. She says "bring it on".

My Dad and stepmom had a Weimy. She was a crazy dog. I'll never get another terrier. They are allergy meisters. Would love to have a boxer but not so big backyard, despite the goats beyond. The previous owners put up a teeny chain link yard and now goats are just beyond it. "C'est la vie" as the French say.

Goats love to taste anything just to see if it is edible. All the hems of my shorts get nibbled on and don't expect to ever keep any shoelaces tied.

elimar86861

Loral, what kind of bird?  And how is it that your bird dog hasn't "retrieved" it yet?

Momine

Goats, even here it is a wee bit early. Cocktail hour starts in 35 minutes (7 PM).

elimar86861

Momine, we're on thread time NOW!

Momine

Eli, duh! My bad. Bring on the mojitos!

elimar86861

I like birds.  Had a talking parakeet once.  Definitely going to get one or two when my chemo is finished.

                                                           

I used to let my parakeet fly free around the apartment I had.  It was way back in the day when I wrote a lot of letters (and had real long hair.)  My bird would come over to where my hair was draping onto the floor or table and he would run his talons thru' it.  Weird.  Was it like worms, or was he just wiping the bird-poo off his feet?

Aww, anyone want to play frisbee with this silly dog that belongs to those cute guys over there?

elimar86861

That's the neighbor's   dog.  He wants some pet buffet piled onto his frisbee plate.

                                     

Loral

My dog is 14rs old and doesn't do steps any more..good thing!! 

I had 2 of these, but now only one. She's about 14yrs. old too. The love of my life.

elimar86861

Got jealous of those watermelon nails, so I ran out for a bit to get my nails done too.

                                                            

elimar86861

Hope the grill master shows up soon to fire up the grill.  But we can always bide our time in the labyrinth.  You didn't think I would have a backyard BBQ without a labyrinth, did you?  Suggested early on in this thread as  a coping strategy for cancer, how could I NOT have one!!!!!!!!

                                         

elimar86861

Don't forget to clean up the labyrinth after your pets.

luvmygoats

OO - I wore my tennies manicure.

Just how do they do these? That was sooo much fun looking thru all the images. Not a mani kinda girl usually. Only pedi I've had was after surgery - I forgot one prep - to cut my toenails.

elimar86861

Of you make it to the center of the labyrinth, you will get to see my chameleon.

                                                    

elimar86861

Still no one to do the ribs, but there are a few delicious choices.  I like roasted red peppers, and they taste good grilled too.  I also threw some corn on.  Good thing it is virtual corn.  That is one from my no-no list that I haven't broken the rule on.  Yet.

here I am in the pool!! I mean if we have a labyrinth we gotta have a pool! Instead of mojitos I'll have a coke float please. If I fall asleep someone roll me over.

elimar86861

You are right, of course, why not?  We had a pool party last summer and I forget who won the cannonball contest.

macatacmv

ok ok I'll let my dog come too, but don't complain when she splashes you guys. 

macatacmv

note  the emphasis on the important part.

macatacmv

do we need some music?

No BBQ is complete without coleslaw. Eli - next BBQ you can partake.

How about mashed taters? Sorry Reggie my pet turtle took a few bites. Y'all don't mind, do you?

elimar86861

That turtle!  He walked away with my burger ten minutes ago.  He's cute, but what a little manace!
