My lab/great dane mix is Walter- loves to sit proud and tall in my jeep with the top down and put hi

I love him.What a character Cedric is already. My lab/dane mix is Walter - such a kick. Congrats! nm
I have a Chihuahua named Mione. My daughter named her after Hermione from Harry Potter. I also ha
We also have a hamster named Sandy.
I have 2 lab mixes, Nella and Diamond, both have spotted tongues
short arms, short-term memory loss...
I too suffer from Short Arm Syndrome. Add to that the short-term memory loss that middle-age brings and I have now discovered I need to lasso the &*%$ reading glasses around my neck or my day will be spent wandering in circles asking the dog where my glasses are.
I have two pairs, per advice of doctor. I do not wear glasses all the time, so he thought I was not ready for bifocals. My son gave me a wonderful eyeglass case for Christmas that is big enough to hold both pairs should I ever venture out of the house amongst the living.
I did manage to find some "sporty" looking around-the-neck-eye glass holder thingies - what DO you call those things? I'd use twine before getting those multicolored beaded ones. I have a neon coral one and an emerald green one. Too bad I can't find the former, I can't remember where I put it.
Soooo cute! I have a lab/great dane mix... scary to some 'cause he is so big. But he is a big wus
Are those mini-pins! A while ago I was running with Walter (my dog) and we came across a lady with 2 mini-pins. Walter wants to meet everyone and the lady said they were friendly so we let them sniff, but all of a sudden they were all over Walter with little tiny flashing teeth. Walter yiped like a little baby and skulked away and the lady said "oh my they never do that." Why do they always say that, like it is my big dog's fault?
Well anyway, just this weekend I saw the mini pins in her car at the market when by coincidence I parked next to it. When I opened my door they were up on the dash and leaping at the crack in the window and snarling and barking at me. I know they could not get to me but I cringed and hustled away. They looked really scary! I swear I felt like they could jump up on me and grab on something like my ears or something and not let go.
But I am sure they are sweet... NOT! But it goes to show you never know... they are all animals, after all. And like people all have very distinct personalities, very much formed by their family (the people family, I mean). I could tell the owner of the mini pins was kind of a ---- well you know, not that nice... she left them in the hot car, after all... and they were pretty much a product of their upbringing.
I too actually think pits have some of the sweetest dispositions I have ever met in a dog.
Amen! I was biting my tongue not to respond,
as it probably would have been in anger. And to have such a hostile spirit and then go quoting scripture. Whew. Does not give a good testimony, but you sure did. Thanks for saying it so eloquently and lovingly. The sinner in me also can't help but mention that the devil could quote scripture just as well as Christ. He was -- well versed --
Yep! Sounds like TMJ. I wake up with the sides of my tongue...
sore because my jaw clamps down on my tongue and sores on my cheeks from biting them. I would also have an aching jaw for weeks at a time that required mountains of Motrin and muscle relaxers. I finally went to the dentist and now have an acrylic mouthguard I wear at night. I hated it at first, but boy does my jaw feel better. No more aching, no more trouble chewing, no more sores on my cheeks and tongue! Cost me $300 for the mouthguard cause my insurance wouldn't pay, but it was worth every penny!
Go to your dentist!
Has anyone every been awakened suddenly after biting your tongue in your sleep? SM
OMG. Does this hurt. I bit the very tip of my tongue really hard last night when I was asleep and now can hardly eat, drink, etc. Just curious if this has happened to anyone else. Wonder if one of those mouth guards would help. I was told I have TMJ and grind my teeth. Maybe that's what was going on!!!! This is the second time it has happened! Many months in between. . . 
Sometimes it freaks me out. I'm a runner and take Walter the lab for (sm)
a pretty long haul every single morning. Roll out of bed, feet in sneakers, quick coffee, grab Ipod and leash him up and off we go. Except for this week it started to rain so I skipped the early run, let him out for a while and then started work early. When I look over at him he has taken my running shoes from beside the bed and is napping with them pillowed under his head by my desk. I imagine he actually sat there with the shoes looking at me for a while and fell asleep. I realized how much he loved the runs and the routine and he was very disappointed that day. So we'll continue our runs rain or shine. I can handle a little discomfort for my best bud. 
Wow, how tall are you? nm
nm
Mainly speaking tongue in cheek, but he could remove patient info and let me listen.
:P
Definitely real - 8 ft tall (nm)

Hey, I think I'll burn really tall
candles under my mailbox. Then all the bills and junk mail will burn up before it gets into my house and makes messy piles, LOL.
How efficient. :o)
5 feet 11 inches tall that is, why you cannot put - sm
quotation marks for inches on this is annoying.
I guess Walter is pretty passive compared to your guy! Gets you going though, doesn't it? nm
Real --midsize about 6-7 feet tall - nm

The strong, silent type...tall, dark and handsome..sm
I've read all the posts and was gettin' very hot with the ignorant ones...I didn't know what to say bkz I had too much to say and I could write an epistle.
My husband of 25 years is very similar...keen observer, listens and gleans information from all the chatty folks before he makes a statement. Ya gotta be wary of people and their intentions. I was naive and didn't learn that till we moved to the south.
We've got 2 sons, one is very outspoken and the other is very reserved, (both musical and visual artists in all different mediums and genres). When asked in a humanities class "What's the name of BB King's guitar?" my son said "Well, which one, Lucille 1 or Lucille 2?"
Having oreo and zebra scratched into their artwork in woodshop by mean-spirited kids was rotten....But, when one brought a noose on the bus and said "I'm gonna hang all ya'll" we went to address it at school...The only thing we got from central office and the principal was "He was only a-kiddin'". My husband nearly went off...man of few words but about to strangle someone (school district was 99.5% ivory white) .
So, does your hubby play an accoustic or electric?  Cat
his head is over the door. People double-take, point, and laugh. Everybody loves big sweet Walter. n

Hey sweetie!! That would be me and...sm
I am SO happy you posted your experience with Fermodyl, just like you said you would!!! WAY_2_GO!!! Happy it's working for you. I never lie, anyway. *ROFL*
Keep in touch!!! *hug*
Signed: *el*
And you think by asking, sweetie-pie
would you please not do this or that it would stop and just to think this person even got a phone call from the other parents. If I had a husband like that, I probably would appreciate others staying away rather than have to make excuses for his bad behavior.
Sweetie....
If you don't want a relationship with her don't string her along, tell her to leave you alone instead of saying she is STALKING you with a COUPLE of emails a year... she will probably be better off not meeting you seeing how you already have so much animosity towards her.
As far as me telling you to stop being hateful that was not towards "SOMEONE ELSE'S DAUGHTER" it was towards the other people posting their experiences here just like you!!!
Laptop for my sweetie
My hubby is very hard to buy for, no clothing, no this and no that, likes to get it himself but I do have an idea what he would love and that is a laptop. I want to maybe get him one for Christmas. I just introduced him to the internet since our marriage in 2000 and he lovesssss it. He has so much downtime with his present job (long distance truck driver) and spents time just waiting to be called back to return home that I know he would enjoy. Never had 1 personally so anyone there that can tell me any items I need to check for, how do you connect if no internet service in your hotel room, etc. Thanks so much and I am sure he would thank you too.
Sweetie, I am depressed because of the
state of the world, and I guess maybe I was supposed to post for you. I wish I could help you, bring you a smile. Your poor children. What a sad world this is with people hurting as you are hurting. That is what is depressing me. I guess I did expect maybe a smile from these people in real life. That's all I tried to say. I am depressed over what kind of world this is, where neighbors can't say hello and smile, where even church members just are members on paper only on a mailing list, but can't sit and smile, especially during the Holidays. I am so sorry for all the hurt you have been thru, and, yes, I have been seriously hurt as well. I have moved on, though, and will never ever lose my joy. Thank you sincerely for helping me see this.
Well thanks for joining us sweetie! nm

We get it deeni sweetie, you
are the noncircumcision queen! I bow to you. Bring your cause to Washington, march to the Capitol building and stop the so-called atrocity! Please become an expert on something else.
Ah sweetie, there is nothing "wrong" with you and if you...sm
Love this guy and he Loves you, that is most important. As post below suggested, you may just have a low sex drive or possibly hormones. A good check up by your doctor may hold that answer if you want to seek help. If you haven't tried it, maybe the products that are available at Walmart, the his and hers? Or even, don't worry about it, and know that you are loved and he is loved, and the sex will just work however it does, like you said, it is what it is. Try not to worry too much about it, that may only make it worse.
BTW, some women, just like men, lie about their sexual experiences with their partners. Maybe lie is too strong a word, maybe enhance is a better word. I am not saying all do. I know this from personal experience. I had a girlfriend who swore to another girlfriend that her and her husband were just like young lovers, carrying on several times a week. However, she told me they hardly ever had sex, maybe once a month or even every couple of months. So all this GREAT sex talk you hear about may just be just that, talk.
My husband and I were together for 20 years before he passed away, and we had hot and cold spells. Sometimes it was really great, sometimes it was just downright pitiful. Through it all though, whether we went to sleep frustrated or very satisfied, we never forgot we love each other. I say love because to this day I am still very much in love with him. Even though his physical body is not here, his spirit and love are still very much a part of me, and I would not trade that for all the "great sex" in the world.
I miss college and Carnation Instant Breakfast in a nice tall glass of ice cold milk.

Yeah, Shep's a sweetie
Real sweetie, thx for sharing with us! nm

Oh sweetie, I just have tears in my eyes for you - sm
What a horrible man and I can so relate to not wanting him to touch you.
BE SAFE. My biggest worry would be the guns and that's why I suggested you leave; I know it is important to try to keep your kids stable in school, but nutty control freaks do horrible, horrible things when they feel their power taken away.
Please keep us updated.
Oh sweetie, you just wouldn't understand!
Again, Merry Christmas to you all, hope you all get what you deserve and may you all prosper in the New Year!
sweetie, you are still DENSE...you obviously can't read...
by the email that you personally sent me. Take from me honey, you do yourself no good by trying to switch the minds of others. Now sweetie, get off the computer and clean the house or something!
Sweetie, you are not the kind of woman I am talking
about. You I have respect for. It's the little girls who can't/won't do it that I have a problem with. Believe me, I am no slave to my DH, he provides a very comfortable life for me, but I am not spoiled. I can make my own way in the world. To those that brag about being spoiled and pampered, why the heck are you working then? I have always found that the ones who brag about what they have, have to let everyone know etc, tell the tallest tales.
aww, sweetie, don't get your big panties in a wad..sounds like jealousy to me!
....
No, but I did call them "Hun, Sweetie, dahling suga pie"

I LOVE your costume, sweetie! As far as hating Pittbulls it would
never, ever enter my mind. It is up to the breeders in the first place to breed aggression out of this breed. So many are bred for fighting and bred to look mean and threatening at the owner's side. If more responsible breeders and owners did their part, this is actually a wonderful breed. HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
I got my dog Walter at a boxer rescue and he looked like a boxer pup but I quickly discovered (sm)
He was either a mutant boxer or not even part of the litter I picked him from. He had the jowly muzzle all the pups had, but he was huge. He seemed to be the same age as the rest of the litter, you could tell by the eyes and the teeth, but he was kind of like the big clutz of the group. But oh so cute. He turned out to be huge and like a lab/great dane mix. He has the short fur of a boxer and the big chest, and I now think he either was an orphan puppy who got put in with the litter or mom had another mate. Either way, I am so happy he is the one I chose, he is such an interesting character and a really stunning and majestic dog. Still a clutz though, he falls down over himself on the beach and stairs. And he is so tall he prefers to sit on top of the stairs on the deck with his front paws a couple steps down. But I've always had rescue dogs and they are so special.
Walter, I posted below. I am thinking now they either put him in with the litter
Nothing too huge, but sm
DD is struggling with college and taking classes that are out of her area of emphasis AND ones she didn't have enough high school prerequisites to do well. She tells me she has a solid C in one and should have a C in chem. She was afraid she was going to end up on academic and financial aid suspension, but it doesn't look likely now. She is changing her major AT LAST to journalism!
I have a wonderful job, money in the bank and food in the house. This might seem smallish, but many don't have this. I remember when I could not have all 3 at once.
My house is nearly clean. I have been fixing it up, reorganizing and moving stuff for what seems like forever (okay, only 20 months) and I am finally able to actually clean it as in clean and tidy. It is feeling really good.
The dog got a bath last night. She is cute, fluffy, sweet and smells like jasmine. She is more loveable than ever right now too.
Years ago I liked her but her ego has gotten huge ....sm
and her mouth just runs off with whatever she wants to say to try to get a popular vote. I'm glad he's standing up to her and her untruthful rantings and ravings.
I would have a huge garden - nm

Hercules because he will get huge!

There is a huge difference between ...sm
spanking and beating. My dad used to get out his belt when I was bad. And I mean, I deserved it. Those lessons stuck in my brain, and I did not EVER break that rule again, not out of fear, but respect and I always thought twice about breaking any other rules. Even after I was past the age of spankings. I do not spank my kids with a belt, I cannot bring myself to do that, but I do not fault my dad for doing it to me when I deserved it. I also am a very nonviolent person. I will spank my kids when all the time outs and talking to don't work and nothing else seems to make the lesson stick in their head. They do not have bruises, they are not scared of me, they are happy kids. I think if a lot of other kids would have gotten the spankings they deserved when they were growing up to learn those lessons, they would not have been out shooting people or beating others up and have the issues they do now. And no, I did not grow up in the 50s. I am only 30 years old.
That would be a HUGE no for us - please see inside
Please don't get me wrong, churches are fine for those who believe in that sort of thing. We've been that route. We are very spiritual people but we are in no way religious. We don't believe in the creator the same way and we don't believe in the bible. Certain parts of it (for historical purposes) are fine but too much has been put into it by men that well, that's just for a different post. I just don't believe most of it is true and just another form of brainwashing for most. We don't believe in heaven or h*ll (as in physical places you go to after you die). It just doesn't exist. Heaven and h*ll is a state of mind one is in. Good and evil is in each one of us and what we do with our lives and how we treat others and live determines if we are a good person or not. Once we die we will not either go to a place in the sky floating on clouds kneeling reciting scriptures over and over and over, and neither will we go to a place down below where they claim people will be ripped to shreds being tortured over and over in pain for all eternity. Just isn't so.
If we follow any "religion" our beliefs are in the lines of Paganism (even though being a pagan is not a religion, it is a way of life). This idea (again in my opinion, so please don't anyone take this personal), but the idea that there is a "God" out there "controlling" everything is just absurd to me. There is no God out there determining what happens to our lives on a day to day basis and dishing out to us only what we can handle. We determine what happens in our lives by ourselves.
Believe me, I've been through the "religious" route. Spent birth til 12th grade going to episcopalean and methodist services and sunday school, 12th grade took classes and switched to catholic church for about two years. In my 20's I went to catholic and protestant services. After I moved away from home. I had a jewish friend and he took me to his synagogue for about 6 or 7 months. I moved again and had a friend who took me to her mormon services for about a year. Moved again and attended Baptist services for a couple months and then switched to some religion where it was just way way way creepy where everyone raised their hands in the air, closed their eyes and were chanting out things while people in the back were what I've read called "barking", and others standing around speaking mumbo jumbo that they claimed was speaking in tongues. I think they called their services charismatic. I lasted about 5 or 6 services with them and felt too creeped out and there was just something I can only describe as "evil" about it. So, I would say I've had a pretty well-rounded experience with different religions, and they are all far from what I believe in my heart. The path that I take with my creator is a personal one that I do not share with others. As for God...there is no "Him" to trust therefore no "His hands" to put my life in. There is a creator out there but the creator is not the "Him" that everyone talks about. After being out of all the different services I feel more connected with the creater than I ever did sitting in any of those buildings listening to what I can only describe as brainwashing (especially when they would post scriptures/passages from the bible, but change it a little to benefit what they were discussing). AGAIN, I have to repeat over and over and over to anyone who reads this, these are only my feelings and thoughts. I believe that everyone is entitled to believe what they want and if it works for you and you enjoy your life because of your worshipping and services then that's great for you. Just is not for me.
275 isn't that huge either - Now 475, I could see needing sm
a non-human MRI machine but 275? There are football players who fit that description.
They did a huge article on him
in Homelife magazine. It is amazing the faith and courage he has after all he has been through!
I am a huge Scrubs fan .. did you know . . .
if you go to Hulu.com, you can watch all the episodes of Scrubs and many, many other shows? For free!! That's how I get caught up on a lot of my shows, like Brothers and Sisters!!
That would be a huge NO - see message
I heard about that story. I think it's horrible. She is his mom and if she wants to try holistic help instead of the killer chemo drugs she has every right as a parent to do that. Who in the world does the government think they are sticking their nose in where it doesn't belong. Since when is it the govt's position to tell a parent how they should be able to treat their own child. I'm a firm believer in natural medicines. I try anything before taking an aspirin. I also type oncology reports, and also my mom, grandmother, cousin, and sister-in-law all had cancer and they went the chemo route. They all got sick as anything, suffered horribly, and ended up dying. Very rarely will you hear of someone being cured with chemo. Chemo is a killer drug and the only thing it does is make the pharmaceutical companies richer while the patients suffer horrible horrible pain and death. (remember that everything I say is all just my opinion). I think what this is doing is that the people who want to go the natural route if they suspect they have cancer they probably will not go to the doctor to get a diagnosis because then their name will be turned in and they will be forced to undergo this killer treatment. It just urks me to no end that the govt is ordering the mother to have her child treated with chemo. They need to keep their noses where it don't belong. I hope the mother is able to get the holistic help she is seeking and I think anyone who turns them in is a piece of dirt (in my humble opinion). Sorry, think I went off there, I just get so frustrated with govt sticking their noses in where it doesn't belong, and the pharmaceutical companies having such control over this.
I have a plumbago and it's huge. I love it. sm
I had one when I lived in Minnesota and it came back every year despite the long, cold winters. Down here it has gotten a touch of a freeze but it's still flourishing. They bring butterflies and hummingbirds (unlike my hummingbird feeder).
My father's 4th wedding was HUGE
They had a big Victorian wedding. They had a huge rehersal dinner, wedding and reception. She was married once before and had a small wedding. She wanted a big wedding. Maybe your father and this lady want to have a party with their friends and family?
What zoo still has iron cages. Most have huge
