Thanks for doing us all a service with your very knowlegeable critique on the subject. I almost didn't take Izabel because she was wild and totally untrained. I had German Shepherds before so I knew what she could become with some love and training. It's been 1 1/2 years now and she still has a few rough edges, but she is really a great dog. I figure another 6 months and she will be really mellowed out. Keep posting. Your posts are more important then a lot of the stuff a lot us post...Bill

LOL. Sharp. I don't think you live at the North Pole. You look much too good to remind me of Santa Claus. I just thought coyotes were mainly in the southwestern U.S. You had a pack. I usually see one and sometimes two. I am more conerned about Izabel or me encountering a rattle snake. I had quite a scare a couple of weeks ago. I was on my way out the door to get my mail. Izabel was already out and as I was stepping through the door I heard the rattle. I froze and not 5' away was a very big, very upset, coiled rattle snake. I thought for sure Izabel would get too close and get bit. I screamed at her to come and fortunately she came straight to me. The fire dept. came and removed it. Talk about a wake up. I sure didn't need a nap that day. I am LOL now, but I sure wasn't then. I suppose you have rattle snakes as well...Bill

Bill...where do you think I live, the North Pole? lol
We have deer, coyotes (tons), wolves, bears (brown, black & grizzly - highest population of grizzly), cougar, ducks, geese, rabbits, bluejays, lots of birds, etc. lol

Indigo, my Aussie X Border collie can also handle herself with coyotes...not my golden. Indigo is wise & cautious with them now. 2 yrs ago, I went away for 2 days, borded the golden & left her at home as the previous owners always left her out. She came with the property! lol Anyways, she had a run in with 2 or 3 coyotes...the ambushed her. She never even let on she was injured. I noticed it when I ran my hand down her side. 10 days at the Vet, first 5 on antibiotics to get the swelling down before they could stitch it closed. 10 days later after the first stitches were removed, they had to stitch a second time for another 7 days. It was a bad wound! She'll never let them ambush her again.

Roben, What you said about adopting pets is very important. I agree with you 100%. I wish I had thought to say that myself. Izabel(in the photo)is a rescue from the humane society...Bill

HAHAHAHAHAHA...that is hilarious Rub!!! OMG..too funny!

True Story:
(They say Never work with Animals or kids)

As part of my Job I have to do regular appeals on TV in hope to rehome some of the Homeless Dogs & Cats. One day while showing off a cute 3 legged Collie called Rolf, I was explaining that having 3 legs was not a disability for 'Rolf' as he had adapted to his loss of limb remarkably well, Without thinking I blurted out the fact that he loved 'having his stump rubbed' totally innocent on my behalf but the producer (with the dirty mind yelled "cut - we cant have that said".. Rolf then proceed to get excited & started to 'Hump him'.. I thought it best if I put Rolf into a cloakroom for a few minutes for 'time out' while we got ready to shoot again...
When the dog came out of the room, chewing on a pair of panties (not mine btw) lol.. we called it a day & the producer said to me: "How long have you been rubbing his Stump for honey?"

lol... was very funny

But seriously folks, if anyone is thinking of getting a dog or Cat.. Please please please consider going to your local shelter first, they are bursting at the seams with unwanted poochies in dire need of a good home... Once you go there, I guarantee there will more than one pair of sad eyes gazing up at you begging to be given a chance. All 3 of mine are rescue dogs & I wouldn't swap my Angels for the world.
Thanks for reading - Stay lucky Y'all x

Steven Wright...he is funny!! Such a dry sense of humor. The Stones, after all these years......Fred and Barney...

I was surprised to learn that you have coyotes that far north. They are all over the place where I live. Fortunately my dog is large enough to be able to handle herself. She just runs them off.

Nearly lost my two dogs tonight to two coyotes. Luckily, I'm observant & quick! Ran out there to call the dogs, and chased them away! lol

Nothing like a little Friday night adrenaline rush! Although I can think of better ones! lol

Petite, I said 1HM because it was her post I reflected on, but it was kinda directed to all. Thanks for you said. I am a down to earth person, but I'm pretty silly myself. You are good at portraying that side of you on the forums, I am definitely not. Wish I could though. Thanks again! :-)

Sharp,
I know you were talking to Hot but I think your posts are just fine. Everyone should be able to write what they are comfortable writing. Our writing styles and posts show our true personalities. Your posts are very down to earth. I just like to come on here and relax and maybe get too silly...Many on here like your posts and personality. I do!

1HM...I think you're right about the comfort level. I'm comfortable on the forums, but come across too serious. I think mostly because it's written form, because I am not that serious in real life. Just down right awful at conveying wit over the forum...you guys do well at it...I enjoy reading all your humour.

I would never make funny of a fellow smart/spacey girl! Some people write on here to impress...I write whatever comes pouring out. I am very much of a perfectionist in many ways but this is a dating site so I don't write to impress...that is why I can relate to you so well Butter girl.

Six...you are welcome! :-) I think it also has to do with getting to know more people on the forums and feeling that comfort.

Ruben....that sounds funny to be calling a woman! ;-) I am glad you finally 'got' it! Mel is just funny....

Mel...Someone with a sense of humor named THAT Llama!! That's hilarious.....but I still like Six's neighbors Camel named Joe. That was original!

My neighbors really had a bunny that they named Energizer.....It was funny. I thought they were kidding at first, but no, that was the rabbit's name!

Me too Kim, i just let all the brain cells fly when Im posting, lol, whatever come out, lol,, there you have it!!! Be quiet you guys!!! You know I am just putting on an act..
Petty,, hush!!!shhhhhhhhhh

There is a real llama named Dali. We met at the last county fair.


Hey everyone, did you know 1HM is bald and has to wear a wig?

Do mosquitos and magpies in the stand of trees around my house count as pets...how about the coyotes that hide there too, and try to trick my dogs into chasing one so they can ambush them and have one for breakfast! My Aussie/Border is too smart for that...she'd tear them to pieces if they tried! :-)

LMAO - Thanks 1HM for pointing that out.. I get it 'now' lol

Scripps: I think you should get a Llama anyways?? Great pets? When they're not spitting in your face...hee hee

I told you what I would do to get rid of them.....:-)

OMG.....this one was funnier!! LMFAO....at 1:30am!!
