new and future flat sister, with questions

Mom hated bangs so I always had my hair in a barrette to keep it out of my eyes. I just picked up the barrette and cut off everything below it. Then I took all the hair and put it in my crayon box which was an old kitchen match box. When I got married, I cut bangs and have had them ever since. My hair grows forward from the crown on top and I've decided to just like what it wants to do.

That paste was good, wasn't it?

Sasafire black lab and 70+ lbs. Already had a biting incident. BG bit her ear.

Hope no scissors. Caught her eyeing the ones at school. Boy probably closer to cutting his own hair. DH got him buzzed but left a fringe of bangs. Boy itching to cut them.

Ava got a laser treatment on her shoulder. We don't know why she has been limping for over a month. X-Rays show nothing. Had no injury. And she has strangely lost almost 5 lbs for no reason. Eats like a horse and doesn't exercise much. Will see if the laser helps, if not, next step is an ultrasound.

She is not good with dogs bigger than her,,,, something left over from her past before she was rescued. In the next circle, the "stoner" guy has 2 pit bulls. The puppy which Ava was ok with, is all grown up now. That one was lunging on the leash to get her. The other dog was OFF LEASH, and Ava was terrified. Hair standing up down her back. I think the other dog was going to start something. The guy is telling me, oh she just wants to sniff Ava, but there was aggressive behavior so we got the hell out of there. Ava was in a hurry to get away from them.  She's good with smaller dogs, cuz she doesn't feel threatened by them.  I'm peeved this guy has this young strong pit bull off leash. I had heard the other neighbors with small dogs complaining about them, but I didn't see their behavior before today. Not good. He needs to keep that dog under control and train her better.

I'm only 5'3".  My Mom was 5'7" before she started shrinking. My brothers are 6 foot each.  I don't know what happened to me. I am the runt of the litter.

**waving to all**   work time,,,,

Glennie, Sorry for Ava. Did they check for Lyme Disease? My dogs have always gone lame in one leg when they have it... Belly rubs for Ava...

Zills, I am chuckling. Thanks for that. I would like to see a pic of Sasafire as well...

Glennie, ds has a golden lab and last summer he had Lyme disease, he was limping and in pain, vet gave him some meds and in just a few days was fine. Said it is easier to cure animals than humans. Might be with. Mention to vet.

There is also such thing as tick paralysis, but she does not have that or you would know it by now, just fyi for the future.  May vets don't think of it and it can kill a dog within hours.  All you have to do is take off the tick. 

Reggie thinks he is a lap dog.  Both he and his 70 brother Toby sleep with me.  And Toby dominates the couch.

Cute pics... Reggie is ds's dogs name too.

Love the pics - they look like lap dogs to me Very handsome boys.

Deer ticks that carry Lyme around here are the size of a sesame seed - very difficult to see on a dog.

ndgirl, that is the coolest picture. DH looks very relaxed amidst the laundry! Felix is beautiful - looking straight at the camera? Reggie is just as relaxed as DH. He is one handsome big boy. Do exercise him a lot to get that level of calm? Or is he just a mellow guy? Does Felix like or tolerate Reggie? Thanks for sharing!

I have a dog and 2 cats. They really calm my spirit. Wore my wig for the first time yesterday - Max gave it a sniff and moved on... weirdly reassuring that I am still me... slightly balding, flat and fabulous (love that word)

embrace the weekend!

Love the picture, ND.  Looks very homey and comfortable.

Andrea:  Poor Lucky. And poor you having to do the clean-up w/o help! Booo on hubby.

He's safe. I would never actually physically kill someone.

Mentally...now thats a different story. Lol

Bobo, For those of us in the US, what size would that be approximately.

wren I wanted to know too! According to ebays conversion chart, it's a zero! Bobo we still love you:)

Today was boy's bday. He's six. Was awake at 6:30! Just finished the day with cake and ice cream and a chocolate milkshake.

I so need a nap. Going to have to buckle down and send BG back to her bed in the middle of the night. I know she doesn't feel great but can't keep this up for the next six months.

I'm feeling much better today, still kind of feel like I'm coming down with something, but I don't have that damn headache. Did a lot of housework, took down the Christmas cards.. boo hoo. Doesn't Xmas seem like ages ago???

Daisy, are you happy with your wig? Did you go for something different or do like me.. same ol same ol! They feel awful at first, but you get used to it real fast... I never got ready so fast in the mornings as I did when wearing a wig and my hair never looked better lol.

Bobo, you're a size 0? How can there even be a size 0? It's 0! You'll be shopping in tall girls section soon.. you and princess will be wearing the same clothes... I think the princess is going to be rather tall.

Love all the pictures.. love the name Felix.. Felix the cat and love how Felix looks to be eyeballing the camera... what ham.

Happy Birthday to the boy.. as I have several times in the past, I wish I lived closer.. I'd be happy to take BG for the night or take the kids out for a bit while you take a nice nap.

So strange not hearing from M, isn't it? I haven't read the other thread, which I shall do now.
