Kstme | Monday, March 17, 2003 - 08:22 am     Thanks Hippyt! I finally calmed down about four hours later. This one person is so clueless it's beyond belief. He's not the only one, unfortunately, but sometimes, he's the WORST! |
Hippyt | Monday, March 17, 2003 - 07:10 pm     My funny story of the day....... My 'third kid',the boy I have been babysitting for years,got a new puppy this weekend. He proudly brought the pup over to show me. Suuuuchhhhh A CUTE puppy! So,I go on about my day,Hubby comes home and goes down the corner to talk to the father. Later on he askes me,"Did you see the new puppy?" Sure. "What kind of pup you think he is?" It's a beagle. Wellllll,turn out the papers,yes,papers say this dog is a dachshund!!!! The Mom purchased the pup,and her Hubby was giving her hell!!! I was laughing so hard! I'll post a photo of the pup tomorrow. Good thing is,the dear son is already in love with the pup,so it's not going anywhere. And he really is the cutest puppy! |
Babyruth | Monday, March 17, 2003 - 07:56 pm     LOL, Hippyt!! Can't wait to see the pic of the "dachshund" puppy! P.S. Lola is adorable!!! |
Hippyt | Tuesday, March 18, 2003 - 04:03 pm     Thanks Babyruth! Here he is Super Daschy Sisco!!!! You be the judge......

Squaredsc | Tuesday, March 18, 2003 - 05:45 pm     hippyt, such a cutie, are you sure its a dachshund? |
Suitsmefine | Tuesday, March 18, 2003 - 05:50 pm     LOL, Hippy...that is a beagle if I ever saw one! |
Hippyt | Tuesday, March 18, 2003 - 06:00 pm     Noooo ,Squared,LOL ,that's the point,it ISN'T a Dachshund! I don't think the boy's Mom actually knew what one is suppose to look like! She was duped!I'm just glad they are keeping him,he's so sweet! |
Squaredsc | Tuesday, March 18, 2003 - 06:06 pm     oh ok. poor mom, lol. im glad they are keeping him too, he looks adorable. |
Sia | Tuesday, March 18, 2003 - 07:03 pm     Beagles are very loving pets. My grandmother had one for fourteen years and she treated him like a baby. She rocked him in her arms in the rocking chair, rubbing his belly while she sang to him. Dear Ernie's gone now, but he was one of a kind. What a sweet, gentle dog. T, the puppy is just darling! And he's a beagle!! |
Kstme | Tuesday, March 18, 2003 - 09:18 pm     He's a sweetie, for sure!!! What a FACE! It's very sad to think they were taken advantage of though. I'd put my money on Beagle or mix too. |
Egbok | Tuesday, March 18, 2003 - 11:27 pm     Hippyt, I enjoyed reading your "Dachshund" story! I have a Dachshund named Oscar and I got him when he was 7 weeks old and he's been the best dog ever! I absolutely love him like one of my own children!! The pictures of the Beagle pup are adorable! I'll be getting a Beagle pup within the year and I'm hoping that Oscar will be okay with the new arrival to be! (I love the editing feature!) I just had to come back and tell you that I looked at the pictures once again and the puppy clearly has Beagle markings but I'm telling you...those ears, paws and little short snout sorta remind me of Oscar when he was a puppy! (The snout grew out pointy and the ears grew a little longer as Oscar matured) I'm just sayin....!! |
Julieboo | Wednesday, March 26, 2003 - 01:25 pm     QUESTION: Retractable leashes-16 or 26 feet? Any opinions on which one to get? Also are there any features I should look for? It's for a very mellow 26 lb. beagle. He's pretty easy to walk with a regular leash. While I am at it, anyone know where to buy plastic tags or have any alternatives to metal tags. (They're turning my dog's white fur gray.) |
Wargod | Wednesday, March 26, 2003 - 03:53 pm     Check with PetSmart, Julie, they might have the plastic tags. No idea about the leash, lol. My little fat beagle refuses to walk more than a few feet...last time we went walking, I had to carry her all the way to where we walk to and all the way home! She escaped out of our yard last week (jumped the fence, caught her bottom on it and pulled part of it down, took off down the street,)she made it couple houses down before getting tired and laying down. My BIL walked right up to her, put the leash on, and brought her home! Julie, do you have problems finding collars to fit your beagle? When we got Reily, she came wearing a harness. We went and bought a collar and within a day or so, knew why she'd worn the harness...her head is tiny and slips out of the collars. Problem with the harness is that it rbs her skin raw. So, when she's home, we don't put it on her, but when we take her out we do and you can tell she's uncomfortable. |
Squaredsc | Wednesday, March 26, 2003 - 04:32 pm     julie, i haven't seen plastic tags at petsmart, but i would try a google search. i used to get a mail order for pet stuff but i have no idea what i did with the last one, if i find it i will post the link cause i think they had a website. as for the leash mine is aubergine and i think its 16 ft, i have a bichon and its just right for him. he doesn't run he trots, lol. when i let him run its off the leash on the bball field. |
Whoami | Thursday, March 27, 2003 - 12:38 am     Here's the results from a Google search on "dog ID Tags." Dog ID Tags Most seem to offer metal or plastic. In fact, a couple of years ago I went looking for metal (the plastic ones we had broke), and had a heck of a time finding a site. But that was more cause the metal ones were harder to read the engraving on the tags. |
Weenerlobo | Thursday, April 03, 2003 - 12:25 pm     Our Petsmart has that engraving machine for the metal ID tags, but I've not seen plastic. Our vet had us switch to a harness for Bogie becuase he had a problem with the cartiledge (sp?) in his neck and shoulders and the collars were exacerbating it. At first he didn't want anything to do with the harness, but then I showed him that the leash attaches to it and it was okay since then! Walking, eating people food and cuddles are Bogie's favorite things in the world and not necessarily in that order! I'm bummed today. Yesterday it got up to 70 degrees here in Michigan and was sunny and beautiful. We went to the park for the first time in a loooooooong time for a good long walk. Today it's 40 some degrees and raining. Bleck. Nobody ever wrote any songs about springtime in Michigan, that's for darn sure. |
Spygirl | Saturday, April 05, 2003 - 02:27 pm     A couple of weeks ago, I was sitting at the computer and realized I hadn't heard anything out of Toby for a while. He has his favorite place to sit in the house, which is in the front den on the love seat looking out the window. I went in to check on him, and this is what I first saw:
Now, you may not be able to tell, but he has somehow wedged himself between the pillows that make up the back of the couch. He also somehow got a throw pillow over him. |
Spygirl | Saturday, April 05, 2003 - 02:31 pm     So, after I saw that and went to grab the camera. When I came back, I removed the pillow, and this is what I saw:
He is declined with his butt up on the top part of the loveseat (where he usually sits), but his head is resting on the seat part of the loveseat! Now, the funny thing is that he was not hurt or wedged so that he couldn't move, but he would NOT move! Apparently, he was so comfortable, the only part of his body he would move was his tail (he wouldn't even lift his head). I laughed until I could barely see straight and finally left him alone. He got up about 15 minutes later looking incredibly refreshed. |
Squaredsc | Saturday, April 05, 2003 - 03:13 pm     spy that is hysterical and he looks so cute. |
Hippyt | Saturday, April 05, 2003 - 03:39 pm     that is one relaxed doggie! |
Twinkie | Saturday, April 05, 2003 - 05:18 pm     Too funny! And cute! |
Kstme | Saturday, April 05, 2003 - 05:33 pm     OMG! That's TOO MUCH!!!LOL I sure wish Maesin had gotten a pic of Mags wrapped up in the tp yesterday! |
Wargod | Saturday, April 05, 2003 - 05:49 pm     Hey, even dogs have bad days, maybe he just needed some "me" time? LOL. |
