3/4 Red Australian Cattle dog, 1/4 Blue
3 years old. His name is Eddie
Lucky you! My niece has a red Australian Cattle Dog
and she is adorable. Name is Reggie. She was taught to ring a bell when she needed to go out and learned to do so in 2 days! She herds everyone when they are in the pool and my niece must actually stop her or she gets blisters on her little feet and is worn out! They are incredible. I know some people refer to them as Heelers as well, maybe the same thing or maybe a tad different. In any event, what a great dog!!
HSUS and downed cattle
I get emails from the Human Society regarding animal rights all the time. The latest was regarding "downers", cows too sick to get up and walk into the slaughter house at a place in California. They had an undercover video which I couldn't even bring myself to watch of these poor creatures being abused (tortured really) in an effort to get them up. I tell you what, I don't think I want to eat meat any more. My heart is sick over this.
All cattle graze for most of their lives. All of them...
and there is overhead involved in grass fed beef. There is overhead involved in everything, but my real question was: How does finishing with corn change the "chemistry" of the muscle?
I have been considering a cattle prodder to get mine up (just kidding) sm
My 4 kids are between the ages of 10 and 6 years old and they are all very difficult to get up in the mornings. Sometimes they even go back to sleep when I wake them up. As a working mom that has an hour commute every morning this is a major problem in our household. So, I would appreciate any suggestions. What is so weird is they get up with the roosters on the weekends (the only time I get to sleep late) but yet an earthquake wouldn't wake them on school days! I have even tried sprinkling water on their face and pulling the blankets off of them. Someone please help!
They get to bed early at night so I know they are getting plenty of sleep. They are just sleepy heads.
Some Australian dude! nm
?
definitely Australian Shepherd
they are intelligent, sensitive, kind yet capable of protecting well, very responsive...but they are not for everyone (for their need to be with you a lot, need for exercise, etc)
Ha! Cattle dogs are great. I knew a working one.
That was one happy cattle dog, working a ranch in Texas. We could walk among the bulls in the field without any problems all because the bulls were so scared of the cattle dog.
My Misha was really funny, and I didn't correct all her sassy behaviors because they were harmless and hilarious, but I am reading Cesar Milan's book, Cesar's Way, and I think it's a great book for any dog lover.
I LOVE his Australian accent - MN

Australian sheppard - Aussies
A friend has had several Aussies and has had problems at the vet's office.
One died after it was taken in for grooming and flea dipping. She said that the only dip that can be used is that as the same for sheep???
Her daughter's dog was in for routine teeth cleaning, but the anesthsia got to him and he died.
She took her current Aussie to the vet for neutering. When he came home he was lethargic. They took him back and the doctor put him on an IV to flush his system of any anesthesia?
Does any of this sound familiar? Thank you
We had an Australian Blue Heeler and he
was the best dog we have ever had.
The bell is a great idea! My niece's cattle dog learned to SM
ring the bell in 2 days and has done it ever since. It is adorable. If no one lets her out right away she looks around and takes that leg and swings it and hits it the second time. It is a wonderful idea.
Australian fires and Koala rescued
It is so sad when a fire takes over and to think of the helpless animals who have no idea what is happened. This Koala story just touched me. In this link if you scroll down there is a video tape of the firefighter giving the Koala some water.

Shelties or Australian Sheep Dogs are great family dogs. rm
a
Picture -- I got it!
Are we there yet???? Woof
She took a picture of him NM
NM
Picture?
Test. Made Avatar that picture. If it does not show still would someone explain how to do that please 
Here is the picture.
Finally. I was forgetting to put in the profile ID.
The big picture is what happens to the cat (sm)
or any other pet for that matter, when we move them onto someone else. Is there a guarantee they will find a good home--or a home that gives them as much TLC as you do?
I had a young cat that went right through my screen windows...I mean RIGHT THROUGH the darned screens to get outside and then used them to get back in! Ruined at least 5 of them. I thought about a cat door, but there are other critters out in these parts I do not want coming into the house to sneak a snack, so nixed that idea. I tried to see if he'd like being a barn cat and staying outsite 24/7 with a nice warm barn to sleep and nope, he wanted in (hence the crashing through the screens). He also shredded the rubber seals around both my doors.
I could just pawn him off on a shelter in an area where feral cats are up the wazoo knowing there was a good chance he would be euthanized if not adopted within the 14-day limit, or give him away to some unknown person (tales of cats being used for coyote bait do exist up here), or put up with the destruction for however long he lived.
My little niece came up to visit from out of state one summer and fell in love with this PIA of a cat. They were inseparable. She asked her parents if they could take him home and they said yes. I packed up his little kitty carrier with all his toys, some food, health records, and kissed him goodbye. She sends me pictures and is always updating me with his antics. He doesn't crash through their windows and follows my niece around like a puppydog. It's been 3 years now and thankfully it all worked out beautifully.
If I were in your shoes, love him, and could guarantee a lifetime indoor home for him, I'd have him declawed. The alternative could be much, much worse.
This definitely not my picture
The grandchildren on son's side only grandchildren I have. I have a daughter that I possibly see every 3 or 4 months- no shopping trips, occasional lunch out. When my grandson born (older than the GD) I asked if before going to the maternal GMs house after delivery if they would stop by the house for a minute so I could hold- had never even held the child (after being asked to not visit in the hospital 1 night, mother tired and then told next day G-aunt and maternal GM both there the previous night, held and diapered!) and told no, I could come over later to hold the G-son. Waited, waited, called and told to wait longer as others (including aunts, cousins, etc.) still holding. This started right from the get go. I always from the day my son married knew and expected for his wife to come first, before me, no question there- the only thing is I would have thought I could have at least shared some of the g-children. Before my last marriage I was charged for any and all things done at my home by my son, grands and the like- not the other side. Why would I be treated any different? This family on DIL's side have no outside friends- they are their own friends and socalize all together. I have always been last and I just finally accepted. Oh, by the way, did not tell about my DIL stealing money from me- I never ever mentioned that to my son nor others- I would certainly not be believed. She also hurt my credit for 7 years- allowed her to use 1 of my cards- she bought things for her G-mom and g-mom paid but DIL kept that money instead of paying the bill. This again I never said anything about, always just thinking well if I say anything, not believed and could keep the kids away always, now just threw in that ole towel!

Why would we laugh? I love the cheetah print - I'm such a diva at times or was in my younger, much thinner years! You are a very pretty woman with a few years of maturity behind you. I wouldn't want to be in my 20's or 30's again for all the tea in China. Great picture. Thanks
My dad took a picture of my new car.
I got my Yaris a couple of weeks ago, and he took this picture for me last Sunday. If you are looking for an excellent little car that gets great gas mileage, you might like one of these too.
Another picture
Here is another picture of Santahoe
They should take another picture
using their hands to sign the L on the forehead (as in LOSER) and send that to the police dept and the school administration. Maybe that would get a message across.
see picture
(I know this should probably be on the main board, but could not see how to upload the image.)
THIS IS WHERE YOU CALL WHEN YOU HAVE TECHNICAL PROBLEMS.
THIS IS INDIA......
the big picture
They have lower prices because they do not pay their employees a living wage, do not provide benefits, etc., etc., etc. They are what is wrong with this country today. They did to retail what MTSOs are doing to us. And people are eating it up. They go into a town and drive all the other businesses out. People have no choice but to work there. Then they pay them crappy wages with no benefits so they can keep costs low. you are supporting an industry that does to its people what we are complain about in ours. Americans should boycott WalMart and force them to pay their employees decently and force them to provide benefits. WalMart was named time after time as the biggest offender in this regard. About 80% of their employees have no insurance because they keep them working "part time" (32 to 36 hours) and then don't have to give them benefits or when they offer the benefits they price them so the people can't afford to pay for them. Do some research on them. you may not like what you find. And try to find American made products there. Why do people not see that sometimes saving a buck costs $10 in the end. Cut off your nose to spite your face, as my mom would have said.
Let's see if I can do this - pug picture
This is Maggie. She is so sweet!!
I also had a picture up with me 35 pounds
heavier. it was not pretty. That was my motivation. by the way, I will walk 2 miles a day and have been doing so for 8 years to keep the poundage off.
here is her picture - her name is Gracie

I've had 2 dobies, both with ears down, 1 with a tail, devoted and loving. I cannot get past this. There is a way to make sure this human waste never does this again....
How about a picture frame that your
I know you can also find stuffed animals that record messages. I'm sure a sediment directly from your son using his "voice" would surely make her smile and know that she has done her job. If I were a speech therapist, the sweetest thing to my ears would be your son's voice. JMO. 
Oh--an AVATAR picture! Well, that I can help with!
The key there is SIZE of the picture--has to be 100x100 pixels. If you need help, you are welcome to e-mail me your picture and I will re-size it for you and send it back. Just click on my name to send it to me. If you already have it resized and ready to go, just go into your profile (which for some reason you can only edit when you post a message) and upload it directly from your computer.

I saw a picture of a man from Albania...
Inside the huge cage, was a big pig (animal) and the man's wife sitting/squatting right next to the pig......
THIS is HOW THESE types of men treat their women..........
Everyday I'm glad I was born and raised in the USA and believe me I thank GOD DAILY for that....
From the picture you paint, it is SM
hopeless. No man wants to get divorced. This may sound funny, but they don't. Even if they hate the woman they are married to. I should know. I was a perfect housekeeper, but everything you said in your note applied to me. May have been married to the same man!
If you have been to counseling four times, I would say you gave it your best shot.
However, how old are your children? It is very hard raising kids alone. Can you stay there until they are older? High school? I was a long suffering woman, until my daughter graduated from high school. I am much older and we were taught to stay for the sake of the children.
Believe me, I know it is not easy to leave; but it does get a LOT easier once the children are grown.
You have a lot to think about and my heart goes out to you, because I was once where you are.
How to post a picture
First, the picture has to be on the internet. There are a lot of photosharing sites like Photobucket (that's the one I use), Flickr, Webshots, etc.
The photo sharing site will give you a link you can use to post the picture. You have to use the "Post Reply to this Message!" instead of "Post QUICK Reply."
At the bottom, you will see three boxes:
URL/Link:
Link Title:
Image Link:
To post a picture, copy and paste the link for your picture in the "Image Link" box.
If you want to post a clickable link for a website, copy and paste the link in the "URL/Link" box, and you can put the name of the website in the "Link Title" box.
Hope this helps. 
Hmmm.... you and Jan have exactly the same picture and
scripture at the bottom of each page. Let me see- are you the same???
I don't know how to post a picture.
If I e-mail a picture, does anybody know how to put the picture in so everybody can see it? Or do I have to have it in a website (which I don't have).
**PICTURE of ER-MTs dog Chance**
I want his life!
**Picture of ER-MTs cat Nala!**
What is it with cats and Christmas trees?! Such a riot--she looks tweeked that you caught her doing that!
Great picture and
a beautiful baby to be proud of.
What a beautiful picture!!!
Looks like a wonderful place, what beautiful scenery! Thanks for sharing.
Here is a better picture of my baby! - sm
with his long tongue hanging out!
Here is a picture of our 3 boys - SM
Max, Scooter, and Bailey
They only look innocent in that picture!
We wake up every morning to find ornaments all over the floor throughout the house! My white one who isn't in that picture is the worst of the bunch!
Picture of Silver
Here is a picture of Silver. I got Silver for my husband 12 years ago for Christmas. My husband passed away last year and Silver was his baby.
Here is Dempsey's picture that I
used on the Christmas card he sent to his doggie and human friends (minus the ball). Luckily he is not camera shy like my other dogs have been.
Nice picture! Thanks.
Cute doggy. I remember snow ...
We've gotten about 2 inches of rain, and I'm ecstatic for that ... but Bear is not so happy about getting wet. Looks like a big black bear, has webbed toes, and doesn't like to go out in the rain. What a goof.
That must be a BIG kitty. Do you have a picture?

Ayn you are too funny! (picture)
This winter has been so long and so cold, I actually forgot about the prospect of a whole new crop of those spiders!
I found this TERRIFIC bug identification site and of course there are tons of spiders. If you're ever bored go to http://www.whatsthatbug.com/ I love their Bug of the Month on the home page. Their comments about the photos people submit are usually pretty funny.
This one picture SLAYS me! If I ever saw THAT in my house, I would first stand frozen in fear for probably a good hour, with wet pants of course (because I would have peed in them), and then I'd slowly back away to the door, never taking my eyes off that clock, I'd be ooged out by everything that brushed up against me as I made my way to the door in slow motion, and then once outside I run and call the fire department or something.
I would NEVER remove the clock to see what exactly it was failing to hide inconspicuously behind it, that's for danged sure!
Here's what was behind the clock (picture)
This, I'm sure, would cause my heart to instantly explode.
I think you get the picture of the posters
