2:16 am

jillibus

JC -- did you read about my icon?

2:16 am

Andree

Awww, Jilli - the puppy is so precious!!! :)

2:18 am

J. C.

Beautiful!!! :)

2:18 am

J. C.

So good to hear they all got good homes, yes!

2:18 am

jillibus

thought you'd approve of the whole deal, JC

2:19 am

Andree

what is this grid like, not started yet

2:19 am

J. C.

And no, not bad at all, grannyrose - better than me, with all my fingers, but then my brain doesn't function as well as yours, apparently! ;)

2:19 am

jillibus

I pinched the pic off the new owner's facebook page

2:19 am

J. C.

Well of course, Jilli - there are always so many dogs in need of rescue and homes, and not enough homes wanting them, sadly. :(

2:20 am

J. C.

It's always good to hear of them being rescued!

2:20 am

jillibus

andree, it's big, but like all biggies, words grow out of each other a lot

2:21 am

jillibus

with our Dane pups, if an owner couldn't keep it for some reason, it came back to US, not to a shelter.

2:22 am

J. C.

Well yes, Jilli - that's the proper thing to do, in that case.

2:23 am

Andree

27 k's wonder if sprite has seen this yet

2:23 am

jillibus

and most breed clubs have rescue services too

2:23 am

jillibus

andree, 27 Ks and *90* S words!

2:24 am

Andree

lucky its the long weekend

2:25 am

grannyrose

lol, jilli, i nearly fainted when isaw those numbers, but as you say, a lot of the words grow out of a stem word, so this is a lot easier than it looks.

2:25 am

jillibus

we still only get 24 hours -- and here, tomorrow is only Thursday.

2:25 am

J. C.

Yes, I know they do . . .

2:26 am

VolleymomDee

2:26 am

Andree

2:27 am

jillibus

loredana

J C dont you just love those morning people

3:55 am

Nancy Boy

Oh dear :) When I'm living in my own place, I'm going to impose a 9am rule on the door. Nobody en5ing or leaving before then.

3:55 am

J. C.

Jesse, I made the fatal mistake of starting this grid earlier, when I was definitely not awake yet, without first checking to see how many words are in it! :P

3:56 am

J. C.

We are 5 hours ahead of you, westford.

3:56 am

Nancy Boy

LOL, JC! I looked, but my pride would not allow me to back down. I feel there's something masochistic in my actions, as I'm working this evening, so must fit in this monster between naps.

3:57 am

J. C.

Ooh, I see Jesse . . .

3:57 am

westford

thanks JC never can keep that straight with the time changes

3:58 am

Andree

4:04 am

westford

4:04 am

Frances

I'm trying to juggle Babble, telephone and e-mails.

4:04 am

Andree

4:04 am

loredana

4:04 am

J. C.

Hello, spinner . . .

4:04 am

J. C.

Sounds like a tough job, Frances! ;)

4:05 am

J. C.

A job for . . . SUPER FRANCES! ;)

4:05 am

spinner

back again for day 2! Gave up yesterday but today looks more attemptable, about halfway through the words already :)

4:05 am

loredana

for a teetotaler I found quite clever finding that one too made me think of westford out west

4:05 am

Frances

I'm keeping them all in the air at the moment. Wait for the crash.

4:05 am

J. C.

HAHAHA, Frances - now I'm picturing that! :P

4:05 am

loredana

that what you call multi t***ing Frances

4:06 am

lynxxx

Much easier I agree Spinner. Day 2? we have you hooked already

4:06 am

westford

lol lore found that one right away

4:06 am

Frances

Yes lore. Men are not known for their ability to do that.

4:07 am

Frances

..........sorry J.C.

4:07 am

J. C.

Well I'm quite adept at it, Franes - have always had to be! :P

4:07 am

Nancy Boy

Three more before I let myself peek at the list. Might have to bring my laptop to the bar this evening. Sure the punters won't mind too much if their bartender is ever so slightly AWOL.

4:07 am

Andree

can we say come in spinner, lol

4:07 am

J. C.

HAHAHA!

4:07 am

J. C.

So you're a bartender, Jesse? Didn't know that! :)

4:07 am

lynxxx

good one Andree

4:08 am

Frances

I think you may be an exception J.C.

4:08 am

westford

what do they kick jess?

4:08 am

spinner

;)

4:08 am

westford

the punters?

4:08 am

J. C.

Oh no, Frances - Mike's excellent at it, and puts most to shame!

4:08 am

loredana

but of course J C is an exception arent you J C my exboss was good at it too

4:08 am

Nancy Boy

Oh yes, JC - didn't feel quite ready for university so I thought I'd spend a year around my two favourite things: people and alcohol. Horrible hours but a really fun job :)

4:09 am

lynxxx

Where are you from Spinner?

4:09 am

Frances

An all singing all dancing household then J.C.

4:09 am

spinner

London :)

4:09 am

Nancy Boy

*clears throat* and there's...no other...exceptions?
None at all? Not a one?

4:09 am

J. C.

He drives me mad - can't keep up, him with his two mobiles and a blackberry. He's always juggling so much, I dont' know how he does it! :P

4:10 am

westford

have you introduced him to babble yet?

4:10 am

J. C.

Erm, he's seen it westford - he doesn't have time for it!

4:10 am

westford

well I never

4:11 am

J. C.

You never what?

4:11 am

westford

I never heard of anyone not having time for babble

4:11 am

westford

it's one of the seven deadly sins

4:11 am

Frances

Just a shame you're in the country for the summer and his commuting time is longer.

4:12 am

spinner

so i am fast learning, westford

4:12 am

bfsog

ford you are in the grid (slow on the uptake)

4:12 am

westford

we do have fun here spinner

4:12 am

J. C.

Well, you have now - when someone works full time plus, plus other jobs as well, and brings home work to do on top of that, there isn't much time for Babble! If he Babbled, there wouldn't be time for other things, I'd much rather he spent what little time he has here doing, you see? ;)

4:12 am

bfsog

ahem spinner

4:12 am

loredana

hi there bfsog

4:12 am

bfsog

howdy

4:27 am

loredana

4:28 am

Nancy Boy

Some would argue it's too early in the morning for that, Lore ;)

4:36 am

Haz1558

4:36 am

elder

LOl. you tell her Lynnxx.

4:37 am

Haz1558

lynxxx - you know my policy on needles and threads (I see some relevant words here). The clothes will be clean, not necessarily all with buttons or hems intact.

4:37 am

Giggles..Haz.

4:37 am

Haz1558

Haz1558

I know. I never see jete or plie but I think of MikeyinBerlin.

4:39 am

Andree

haz i'll send you the ironing and you can send me your mending

4:40 am

I think I probably have less mending that you do of ironing, Andree. We may have to negotiate.

4:43 am

spinner

5:53 am

herinfernallady

dying here

5:53 am

Haz1558

Sometimes it's good to take a break, spinner, and come back with fresh eyes. There really aren't that many unusual words, so it pays to check for plurals and different endings etc.

5:54 am

herinfernallady

Haz were can i get fresh Eyes from?

5:54 am

spinner

i just came back from a break, lol, but yes found a couple of plurals i'd missed out on

5:54 am

Haz1558

From the Fresh Eyes shop. It may not be in your budget, though.

5:55 am

herinfernallady

*wonders if i can take mine out and give them a rinse.*

5:55 am

herinfernallady

How is Spangle?

5:56 am

Haz1558

She's fine, patiently waiting for a walk.

5:56 am

herinfernallady

good puppy. How old is she now?

5:56 am

FMitch

and I am back too ( had forgotten my banks would be shut tomorrow).

5:56 am

Haz1558

She's 8 now.

5:57 am

Haz1558

Welcome back, FM. Cheque paid in?

5:57 am

herinfernallady

And did you go and fight the hordes? I had to today. Haz we have a Spangle dog down the road

5:57 am

FMitch

Having met Hobbit I hope one day to meet the glittery one too :)
Yes and it is a mad house out there

5:57 am

Haz1558

It must be a distant cousin.

5:58 am

herinfernallady

Maybe. I have yet to meet this one in person. Fm it was nuts here at the store.

5:59 am

FMitch

IT's daft, it's not as if the shops are going to shut for 4 days like they used to yet everyone acts as if this is the case.

6:00 am

herinfernallady

I have everything here. I didn't buy anything i didn't need

6:00 am

Haz1558

At least there are no brussel sprout mountains at this time of the year.

6:00 am

herinfernallady

erk

6:00 am

LoriP

G'd morning Babblers! Wait, wait wait a second. Is that? No...Could it be? Praise the Lord I must be halleucinating. Looks like Haz...and FM.... and and and....

6:01 am

herinfernallady

Hi Lori

6:01 am

FMitch

LOL hot cross bun mountains instead.
*picks Lori up off the floor and dusts her down*

6:01 am

LoriP

Bottom row all done. ***mini smug***

6:01 am

Haz1558

Poor Lori. The meds clearly need to be increased in strength. As if FM and Haz would ever be here.

6:01 am

FMitch

I hope my dusting does not count as doing housework or I am doomed.

6:01 am

LoriP

I think I have the vapors, or something.

6:01 am

herinfernallady

I have had only one hot cross bun since January

6:02 am

LoriP

Dusting ? ***bewildered***

6:02 am

Haz1558

Maybe you've inhaled too much furniture polish, Lori.

6:03 am

FMitch

my bf love hot cross buns and would always admit guiltily that he had bought and eaten a whole pack

6:03 am

LoriP

Furniture polish? ***increased bewilderment***

6:03 am

Haz1558

Or overdone the pot pourri in the vacuum bags?

6:03 am

herinfernallady

I love the hideously expensive organic ones.

6:04 am

FMitch

poor Lori, I feel so sorry for her the mention of housework and believing that Haz and FM are actually here *grin*

6:04 am

LoriP

hah, n is done. Sir Isaac was sneaky. On to the k

6:04 am

Haz1558

I know. It's the greatest example of someone being deluded since Scrabbler confessed to her George Clooney fixation.

6:04 am

LoriP

***the voices are back***

6:04 am

FMitch

Do you iron your dusters Haz? *waits for Lori to swoon again*

6:05 am

Haz1558

Speaking of Sir Isaac, have we all found the exploring duck?

6:05 am

FMitch

herin you aremaking me hungry

6:05 am

Haz1558

No, my dusters are iron free. A quick wash and spin on the line is enough.

6:05 am

LoriP

I'm going bottom to top, in order. I feel anal retentive today.

6:06 am

Haz1558

Then it's going to take you ages to find the exploring duck. You're no fun.

6:06 am

LoriP

***tries to ignore this unnerving subject***

6:06 am

FMitch

and Im going backwards as usual

6:06 am

LoriP

Can't wait to find it though, I'm intrigued.

6:06 am

Haz1558

What's wrong with you people? Why can't you do babble properly and find words all over the place, in no particular order. Everybody knows that's the proper way.

6:07 am

LoriP

27 k's? That ain't human

6:07 am

mom2han8

oooh... big grid today and lots of normal letter... yippee!

6:07 am

Right on all counts, mom2

6:07 am

Yep, it's a fun one mom. G'd morning

6:07 am

Jacula

Hello. That's how I do Babble, Haz. :-)

6:07 am

FMitch

Hi mom2 and it is fun!

6:08 am

Haz1558

Exactly. I rest my case, Jacula babbles the right way. Good morning!

6:08 am

mom2han8

And it's my day off so I will have some time to just meander around the grid, LOL!

6:08 am

LoriP

6:08 am

FMitch

Jacs nice to see you :)

6:08 am

herinfernallady

6:08 am

Haz1558

We may be freaks but we're sensible freaks.

6:09 am

Jacula

:-D

6:09 am

mom2han8

I always start off in an organized manner and then I end up picking up words here and there, so I guess I'm a middle of the road babbler, LOL!

6:09 am

LoriP

*** must .... not .... respond....***

6:09 am

FMitch

good point herin, not sureI could hadle that many re's

6:10 am

mom2han8

OK... I'm digging in.

6:10 am

Jacula

6:10 am

FMitch

6:11 am

LoriP

6:11 am

FMitch

Too late Jacs it's hell out there (and it's raining here too)

6:11 am

Jacula

Drat!

6:11 am

Jacula

Oops!

6:11 am

mom2han8

LOL mitch... at least they are associated with vowels... that's what I meant to say.

6:12 am

FMitch

PB Jacs and I can lock yo uin if you like so you can't go shopping?

6:12 am

FMitch

OK I'm diving back in for a while still have loads of words to find.

6:12 am

Jacula

FM - but I need some beansprouts for my dinner later.

6:12 am

LoriP

Jac to the PB. So much for sensibilities....

6:13 am

FMitch

OK Jacs just thought it might give you an excuse to avoid the hordes :)

6:13 am

Jacula

I could plant some but I don't think they'll grow in time for tonight.

6:13 am

FMitch

LOL

6:14 am

Jacula

No, I shall just have to gird my loins and get out there.

6:14 am

Jacula

*sigh*

6:14 am

Haz1558

It's always best to have your loins girded.

6:15 am

FMitch

Especially when it's a tad chilly

6:15 am

Haz1558

I know.

6:15 am

Jacula

Aye. You can get arrested for having your loins wild and free in public.;-)

6:16 am

FMitch

*giggle*

6:16 am

Haz1558

Underpinnings are not optional.

i needed the list for only six words, Merk. so, yes, it is very worth it.

8:18 am

Read-Knit-Bake

It's a matter of time...I usually like to finish in one sitting. If I walked away and came back , then I am sure a fresh set of eyes would give me more...every day is different time-wise.

8:19 am

Read-Knit-Bake

I probably wouldn't go t the list until I was down to 20-30 on this size..

8:20 am

Read-Knit-Bake

The other thing...Angelsong is a pro..I sometimes can't see 4 letter words that are right in front of me! :)

8:21 am

this grid is the largest one for the year to date.

4:32 pm

Uneaixoise

hate hate hate the k's

4:32 pm

cybernan

anyone have a clue for the last ke 7?

4:32 pm

Uniquity

I have 12 K words. It is a nice number

4:33 pm

lynxxx

27 Ks - kan konfirm

4:33 pm

4:34 pm

lynxxx

4:34 pm

cybernan

4:35 pm

torgone

89 ..

4:35 pm

sprite

now Ss I can live with. Or without. Those Ks however... :)
Ok... 2 Ke8s after one another. I have only one.

4:35 pm

lynxxx

right Sprite - maybe I should have said dead skin, sorry

4:35 pm

Atalante

the duchy in England is actually a county ;)

4:35 pm

Uneaixoise

aawww, tx, sprite LOL

4:35 pm

sprite

nah, great clue. Thick skull here. K blindness. 3 more.

4:35 pm

cybernan

me too sprite - the plural

4:36 pm

sprite

yup, plural here as well

4:36 pm

cybernan

If it is a county, why is there a Duke and Duchess of Ke4?

4:36 pm

lynxxx

ke9 second ends in anagram of the 10 things on yr feet

4:37 pm

cybernan

ty lynxxx

4:37 pm

Atalante

ah well .... there is. But Ke4 isn't a Duchy.

4:37 pm

sprite

brilliant clue again, thanks. Only 2 more!

4:37 pm

Atalante

only 1 county is a Duchy. That's Cornwall. Duke of Cornwall etc (Prince CHarles)

4:38 pm

sprite

ok, lyn, apologies. You were right. 27.

4:38 pm

Atalante

Ke4 has a Prince and Princess too

4:38 pm

cybernan

oh -- I does it have something to do with ownership?

4:38 pm

Atalante

but none of them live in Ke4

4:38 pm

cybernan

Is that Prince Michael?

4:39 pm

lynxxx

Kudos for Sprite

4:39 pm

Atalante

I *think* so. THe Duchy of COrnwall officially belongs to Prince Charles. Whereas the Duke and Duchess of Ke4 dont own Ke4, I think they just took Ke4 as their official name

4:39 pm

Atalante

yep, Prince Michael

4:39 pm

cybernan

Victoria had far too many children -- it's hard to keep all the descendants straight

4:39 pm

sprite

*does little happy K-dance*

4:39 pm

Atalante

It is!

4:40 pm

sprite

I bet she couldn't manage that herself either

4:40 pm

cybernan

I suppose they all live in Kensington at the tax payers expense!

4:40 pm

Atalante

Prince and Princess Michael live in London, and the Duke and Duchess of Ke4 live in Gloucestershire. It's all far too complicated

4:40 pm

Dorens

sitting here by the water trying to finish the monster. hi all

4:40 pm

Atalante

well ... now you mention it ...

4:40 pm

sprite

hi Dorens

4:41 pm

lynxxx

They are great tourist attractions though

4:41 pm

sprite

woot, the wielder of the Sword of Truth is in the grid

4:41 pm

4:44 pm

Dorens

4:44 pm

sprite

4:44 pm

aslindy

4:45 pm

aslindy

4:46 pm

Atalante

4:49 pm

Uniquity

4:49 pm

DR1965

Hi dan

4:49 pm

danf63

4:51 pm

Dorens

i totally grounded myself in the summer of 1967 to read the trilogy

4:51 pm

sprite

that is a short time for Amsterdam, nan, but I am sure you will love those few hours anyway

4:51 pm

danf63

I just came in half an hour ago...been deep in the grid until someone mentioned Wheel of Time series...remember my plan a couple years ago, before he passed?

4:51 pm

aslindy

I think the Hobbit was the most entertaining... the others were more of a challenge

4:51 pm

sprite

hi dan

4:52 pm

danf63

Hi sprite! How goes it?

4:52 pm

DR1965

I do not rmember... sorry bad sister... : (

4:52 pm

cybernan

We have been to Amsterdam before -- about 4 years ago. So will probably just take in a museum or art gallery.

4:52 pm

cybernan

.. and do some booze shopping, of course

4:52 pm

sprite

lots of those to choose from

4:52 pm

Uniquity

I hate the lord of the Rings. I was so bored and overwhelmed. I also hate Shakespeare. These are my two biggest literary failings according to many.

4:53 pm

aslindy

uni - but do you like to read?

4:53 pm

sprite

de gustibus... but you really shocked me, Uni!

4:53 pm

cybernan

li 7, please?

4:53 pm

DR1965

Jake questioned me if Romeo and Juliet has a happy ending

4:54 pm

danf63

Robert Jordan was coming here to sign the last Wheel book he wrote before he passed, and had just announced he was putting off the last book while he started the prequel. I was going to kidnap hm and make him finish Wheel first...he had already been diagnosed.

4:54 pm

Dorens

DR1965

I told him and he said- oh how sad

4:55 pm

aslindy

people at my bookstore recognize me when I walk in... I'm not sure if that's a great thing or not...

4:55 pm

Uniquity

I used to update my profile with what I was reading, but I tend to go through a lot of books quickly, so it got tedious.

4:55 pm

Uneaixoise

4:55 pm

aslindy

4:55 pm

That last one is the final 8 I need. I think someone said it is similar to the other, but I can't be sure.

8:10 pm

Pinikula

I don't have it yet, either

8:11 pm

Uniquity

Got it. Take the first four letters from the previous 8, then jumble up the digits on your foot.

8:11 pm

8:14 pm

Uniquity

Still working on that, harp. Wassup asked for it and then found it, but I didn't :(

8:14 pm

gapeach1066@yaho

8:14 pm

harpjane

8:18 pm

bichon

harp, that's all I ever think about

8:18 pm

Pinikula

doesn't work, uni :(

8:18 pm

Uniquity

Let's pretend that wasn't a desperate attempt to monkey a four letter word.

8:19 pm

herinfernallady

oh Uni

8:19 pm

herinfernallady

UNi is that your kitty?

8:20 pm

Uniquity

Yes. She was about four or five months at the time (seven now) but looks much the same and still chills in the sink a lot. My Emma.

8:21 pm

herinfernallady

awwwwwwwwwww cute. My cats love the bath. They have yet discovered the self heating properties of it when the heater is on

8:22 pm

Uniquity

Em just pretty much loves everything. She is a kitten of glory (in training). Silverclaws is her mentor and she is shaping up nicely. Bit of a Piglet though.

8:23 pm

herinfernallady

kitties are piggies

8:24 pm

Uniquity

Ooh! I have all the K words now...44 others left. (From A to I)

8:24 pm

gapeach1066@yaho

May I please have a clue for is6-18? Thanks

8:24 pm

Thanks much, Uni.

8:26 pm

herinfernallady

I busted my kitten eating my phone charger AGAIN today

8:26 pm

Pinikula

(for both)

8:27 pm

Uniquity

Emma only eats food...human and cat. Electronics are not her forte. She likes that they keep her warm, but otherwise she is too smart to bother them.

8:29 pm

Uniquity

Pox on in 6,30. I can't find it.

9:30 pm

Jellen

Oops, gotta go....*hugs all*

9:30 pm

jesdraggon

they didn't abandon it, exactly. brought it to the clinic and then decided after hearing what we'd have to do that it was just easier to replace the pup than to repair him.

Pinikula

thx sistah!

9:32 pm

herinfernallady

I would have offered to fix the dog for free and neuter them *the owners * whilst at it

9:33 pm

herinfernallady

Sorry but that kind of thinking makes me so angry and makes animals disposable. Buy a friggen gold fish.

9:33 pm

jesdraggon

i can't fix the dog, lady. best i can do is cast his leg and know he'll not be able to bend his knee when i'm done.

stidmama

does a pom need all his joints?

9:34 pm

featherbee

hi stid! debating starting, lol. hmm, 10:30 at night, whaddya think?

9:34 pm

stidmama

there is a jack russel down the street without one of his hips...

9:34 pm

jesdraggon

he was also totally unwilling to consider amputation, which is much less expensive, and heals faster. because he was afraid the pup would not be able to mount the female and get him more puppies if i amputated the leg!

9:35 pm

herinfernallady

grrr. I was watching this show last night were the poor vet had to put down a kitty as it was panadol poisoned. The owner didn't care how much it would cost she just wanted the kitty to live.

9:35 pm

jesdraggon

no, stid, he'd probably peg around ok with a fused knee. he's certainly small enough to cope with a missing leg with minimal problems.

9:35 pm

featherbee

i imagine where there's a will there's a way re: breeding!

9:36 pm

stidmama

hmph. I don't understand why not save the puppy...

9:36 pm

stidmama

hello takuma!

9:36 pm

jesdraggon

because that takes effort and compassion and money, stid. it's easier and cheaper to buy a new puppy.

9:36 pm

stidmama

what is the better option, jess, and what is the expensive option?

jesdraggon

you know pups are disposable, right? interchangeable, like a pair of pants... ruin one, buy more.

9:37 pm

herinfernallady

THat is bull crap Jess. So does this owner not worm feed vacinate his animals?

9:37 pm

jesdraggon

well, the more expensive option gives him a much better chance of a more normal and useable leg.

9:38 pm

rururocks

*(staying out of this conversation)*

9:38 pm

jesdraggon

dunno, lady--i'd never seen the pup before this. it had apparently been vaccinated at the breeder. don't recall seeing any other animals of his, so i'm going with he's not too up on regular maintenance care

9:38 pm

herinfernallady

Hi Ru

9:38 pm

stidmama

I see. but the less expensive option would save his life and he probably would adjust okay. *thinking hard*

9:38 pm

welki

^5 ruru .. bet we have strong opinions

9:38 pm

jesdraggon

yes

9:39 pm

jesdraggon

amputation would be half that, and again, he'd adjust fine to it... i just prefer to save the leg, in a totally illogical "i want to do it better" sort of way.

9:39 pm

jesdraggon

sorry ru, are we ranting too much?

9:39 pm

stidmama

tom says we can chip in a small amount. about what I gave you for that scarf.

9:40 pm

stidmama

(((ruru)))

9:40 pm

jesdraggon

you rock, stid!

9:40 pm

stidmama

okay, I will put it in the mail tomorrow if I can find your address, or you can send me your address again.

9:41 pm

welki

it's never a surprise to me what people do to animals when i see what people do to people every day ... doesn't make it easier to deal with, since animals can't exact revenge with humanized zeal ... but sadly, it doesn't shock or suprise me anymore :(

9:41 pm

stidmama

I wish I weren't a starving student, or I would do more.

9:41 pm

stidmama

hello tc!

9:41 pm

jesdraggon

it doesn't surprise me, really. but even when you expect it, it's still shocking... if that makes sense?

9:42 pm

rururocks

I have no compassion for anyone who would ever mistreat any animal

9:42 pm

jesdraggon

anything helps, stid. i'm more than half tempted to go to the city and walk down the street with a picture of the pup asking for loose change and dollar donations.

9:43 pm

welki

yep, it makes sense .. just when you think you've seen it all ... my rescues have been evidence of how cruel humans are (which is probably why i don't have much contact with humans outside of work)

9:43 pm

rururocks

except here welki?

9:45 pm

i haven't been part of this site for very long, so my contact with everyone here, for the most part, is part word puzzle and part socializing ... i haven't had the opportunity to get to know people here as well as some

9:46 pm

jesdraggon

I've got him up on both petfinder and adoptapet, but so far the only call i've gotten was from a little kid who just wanted to know how much the dog would cost... when i explained about the leg, she said, "oh. uhm. well, have a good night."

9:46 pm

herinfernallady

my 2 cats will cost me $400 in vacinations thus pet care

9:48 pm

herinfernallady

Hi Feather and Stid your dog is taken after ou

9:48 pm

jesdraggon

yep, in eastern though, so quite a ways from bellevue

9:48 pm

stidmama

rofl... no doubt, lady!

9:48 pm

jesdraggon

aww. poor puppy. how'd he tear his foot up?

9:49 pm

welki

the only thing i know about eastern wa. is gustav's in leavenworth *lol*

9:50 pm

Pinikula

I lived in Leavenworth once...KS, tho ;)

9:50 pm

stidmama

We don't know jess -- or I would be sure to remove whatever did it. Thought at first he had torn another nail, then realized it was his paw. But at first it seemed really small. It wasn't until three or four days later that he let me get close enough to see that it was a lot bigger. STILL, the progress is that since we got him to the vet, he HAS been letting me clean it and it is getting better.

9:50 pm

herinfernallady

Just looking at the cost now for the brats

9:51 pm

rururocks

the prison pini?

9:52 pm

stidmama

LOL ruru -- that would explain A LOT, wouldn't it?

9:52 pm

jesdraggon

ooh, leavenworth is pretty :)

9:52 pm

Pinikula

I did live on base, too, ru...the prisoners used to bag our groceries at the commissary ;)

9:52 pm

rururocks

(pini and Johnny Cash... cellmates)

9:53 pm

jesdraggon

is good that he's getting better. sounds like you should buy him hiking boots to wear.

9:53 pm

stidmama

Johnny Cash? Leavenworth? REALLY? *cries*

9:53 pm

rururocks

I shot a man in prison.. just to watch him die................

9:53 pm

cha right, ru!

yah ruru!! my fav!!

9:54 pm

welki

that was folsom prison ... don't know about songs about leavenworth

9:54 pm

stidmama

I am considering it. *grin* but perhaps it turns out for the best. He also two days ago stayed still long enough for me to trim ONE nail. First time ever! Of course it took tom holding him down too...

9:54 pm

Pinikula

ROFL
y'all

9:54 pm

Pinikula

are too funny

9:54 pm

rururocks

oh ya seen one prison ya seen em all...

9:54 pm

Pinikula

stid, when you master the nails, let me know so you can tell me how you do it!

9:54 pm

rururocks

I am good at dog nails...

9:54 pm

jesdraggon

can you distract him with cookies?

9:55 pm

stidmama

hm. that's a thought... cookies laced with "happy juice" maybe?

9:55 pm

Pinikula

ru...I'll hire you (as long as there's no cost!)

9:55 pm

jesdraggon

benedryl at 1mg/pound about 20 - 30 minutes before you try.

9:55 pm

Pinikula

I have to muzzle Koda...

9:56 pm

Pinikula

really jes???

9:56 pm

rururocks

one at a time is the way to go with an excitable dog stid.. do one and take a break for a while.

9:56 pm

welki

we do our skittish dogs' nails with a dremel tool

9:56 pm

Pinikula

so if Koda is 26 lbs, 26 mgs of benadryl?

9:56 pm

Pinikula

I have a dremel, too...

9:56 pm

rururocks

koda is only 26 lbs?

9:56 pm

Pinikula

yes, sir

9:57 pm

welki

26mg of benadryl for Koda and a pint of pink gin for you :)

9:57 pm

stidmama

I know how to do it, pini. You calmly and firmly get the dog to lie down and hold the paw in your non-dominant hand. Look for the place where the nail appears to be made of softer tissue. DON'T cut there, cut closer to the tip. Use a SHARP cutter so it doesn't pinch. It can be useful to watch an experienced person once.

9:57 pm

jesdraggon

yup. makes them sleepy, but won't knock them out. i don't recommend it for dogs with known liver problems,or on a daily basis unless they have allergic issues. but works wonders for dogs that get nervous in the car and such.

9:57 pm

rururocks

I have a dream.. not a dremel..

9:57 pm

Pinikula

ROFL! awesome, welki!

9:57 pm

Fireworks!

9:57 pm

9:58 pm

rururocks

9:58 pm

Pinikula

is Koda too small, ru???

9:58 pm

welki

gotta put a max on the benadryl, jess ... lawdy, someone will have a newfie and give him a case of it!

9:58 pm

rururocks

we give two little tablets to our 65 lb dogs

9:58 pm

stidmama

unless your dream is of making nicely ornamented wood items, ruru, then your dream might be of dremels.

9:58 pm

OK...melatonin kicked in about 30 minutes ago...feeling very loopy! Good nite all! Good luck!
