That's the spirit tyro! Anyone can accentuate a rousing Mariachi ballad with the Latino Cry Ay!





On that note [Ha!] what this place needs is virtual karaoke!

I have an idea for dog food manufacturers.

First off, I would like to think that most pet owners are not so feeble minded as to go all ga-ga over some advertisement that depicts some cute little bugger that comes running for Ralph-in-a-Can brand dog food (the dog food dogs ask for by ralphing it up and enjoying it even more the second time).

But of course I am wrong.

Still, I do believe that most pet owners and certainly the vast majority of non-pet owners would give some real thought to an offer for dog food that doesn’t stink.

And so that is my suggestion to the manufacturers of dog food. Make some dog food that doesn’t put us off our own breakfast.

Extra points if we are actually tempted to try it.

Wouldn’t that be the prefect thing for people who really can’t get close enough to their cherished pet? A food you could sit down and share with your 4-footed friend.

We share food with our four-footed friends all the time....

But it comes from our plates, not theirs....

My family used to share food with our pet, we called it 'meat'.

My dog gets no people food. He has his food and we have ours. Begging is seriously frowned upon.

You and me both older! I have the sad state of affairs of not only people giving the dog table scraps BUT trying to feed them off of the plates that I eat from. Fuck that! I got pissed off and said that the next time I saw it happen; that Their next meal would be out of the dog's dish. QED.

Get a clue.

Nothing worse than guests thinking it's cute to feed the dog from the table. All the training you do and they shoot it to shit in one meal. And it's not like I have this little "rat" dog that you can overlook. We have a black lab and when he sits he's tall enough to rest his head on the table. Then there is the weight/in shape thingy. Plus his stomach is not used to people food. I can tell when he has had people food as he usually ends up barfing the next day.

I almost smacked my father on Christmas as he comes in the yard and has a treat for the dog (which was fine) but he wants the dog to jump up and put his paws on his chest to get the treat. Nothing worse than teaching a dog to jump up on people. Took a little while when the dog was young to get him out of that habit, but we did and he doesn't jump up on people. At 100 pounds he'll knock many people over if he were to do that.

But he's a good dog, taught him to go fetch the newspaper every morning this past summer so I don't have to go out in my PJ's. Really worth it now that it's cold and snowy

Our dogs were never fed from the table, ever. Never offered human food.

As a result they never begged and never took human food off the counter or table, even if you weren't in the room.

As it should be.

All of a sudden, my dog started going up on the couch when we weren't home. We could tell he was up there as the pillows wwere all dislodged, sometimes on the floor. But we never caught him in the act for as soon as we would start unlocking the door, he would jump down and greet us when we opened the door. I started going home for lunch and peek iin the window and saw him up on the couches lounging. I yelled at him though the window and we also started putting shoe boxes on the couches to keep him off. It worked and he wouldn't go up with the shoe boxes on teh couches. Then for Christmas we bought him a nice soft bed and since then he doesn't go on the couches (no shoe boxes) and lays down on his bed.

And the only thing he comes to me and begs for is back scratches.

I have a notebook entitled "My Thoughts"

It's 10 years old

It's empty...

Sounds like a diary of my sex life.

If someone continuously talks out their backside.

Is everything they offer a rebuttal?

[loCAtek]

No, it's an assertion.

Freakin' southeners. I can undrestand and tolerate your penchant for lollygaging in the south. But when you're up here visiting do the same. If you can't speed up get the hell out of the way.
