...now we have shoplifters heaving babies at store detectives.

I'm not sure why anyone would try to use a baby as a missile.  They can't be very aerodynamic.  Of course, he might have been carrying a "nuclear payload", if you get my meaning.

One of those "..and throw away the key!" stories.

I don't have anyone playing sports this year, so didn't give it a thought, but I hope you're right and that the ratings aren't affected or that they change the night it is on.

For Siberian Huskies is 10-12 years, but that 13, 14, 15, even 16 or 17 years old isn't all that uncommon for the breed.  Overall, they are a very healthy, hardy breed (at least they should be...) especially compared to some other breeds. 

My husband loves Rotties, for example, and there's a terrible problem with bone cancer and other cancers in Rotties.  There seems to be a genetic predisposition to it in the breed, and research is being done on that.  We lost our second Rott at just 5 yrs old due to osteosarcoma in his front leg.  After having the limb amputed, he did well for a few months, then the cancer came back.  It was heartbreaking to lose him at such a young age.  We lost our first Rottie to bone cancer too (in her hip), at 10 yrs old. 

But with my Siberians, my first 2 (not related to each other in any way) lived to be very nearly 16 years old, and died basically due to old age, no cancer.  I just lost my sweet old girl Alexx last month, on 01/10/2007.  She would have been 16 yrs old on 04/02/2007.  I still can't believe she's gone.  I still walk into the kitchen expecting to see her there, napping.     

My remaining Siberian is 12 years old and going strong, fiesty as ever, but he has had cancer.  He had a major, en block resection a little over a year ago where the specialist took out a football-size area of his thorax, including a portion of 3 of his ribs(!).  Talk about traumatic (for me, my dog did fine! LOL).  It was a recurrence of a spindle cell sarcoma, first noted and removed (and much smaller) 3 years earlier.  *Hopefully* it won't come back again in his lifetime. 

I've used Frontline and Frontline Plus off and on over the years for fleas.  We've never had ticks.  And since moving to where we are now, not far from Palm Springs, our vet's office has said fleas and ticks aren't a problem here, so Frontline isn't necessary.  I was skeptical about that at first.  But so far they're right, and we haven't had to use anything for fleas or ticks, which is a nice surprise.  I do worry about the fact that such strong chemicals are put right on their skin (and I would stay away from Hartz flea/tick products too, from what I've heard), but as far as it maybe causing cancer, I don't know.  

BTW, my advice to all pet owners is to consider pet insurance.  We use Veterinary Pet Insurance: 

http://www.petinsurance.com/

I think it's worth it for the peace of mind alone, so you don't have to worry so much about the cost if your pet needs expensive vet care. 

Put all dolls, stuffed animals that cannot be washed in garbage bags tied shut for at least 2 weeks.  Make sure and wash pillows, blankets, bedspreads, combs, brushes, hair bows, clips, barettes, pony tail holders, etc.  Wash any jackets they've recenty worn.  Spray all upholstered furniture and mattresses and air out, then vacuum thoroughly!  Vacuum carpet.  Spray and vacuum your vehicle, too.  The little critters are tenacious! 

Been there, done that, shoulda had a T-shirt!!!  I feel for you!!

The girl that cuts our hair suggested we use Vasoline on our three daughters to get rid of the lice. I used that, but am having a hard time getting the Vasoline out!! I tried using Dawn dish soap to cut through the greese. That helped some. I also read that peanut butter will get it out...so we used that also! This all worked fine on my daughter with fine, thin hair, but my other two have very thick hair and it is not helping them! Please help if you have any ideas or if you have ever done this treatment! Thanks!!

My daughter also developed an allergy after multiple treatments (we finally found out that they had infested the rug in the reading area).  My grandmother told me that before they had those shampoos this is what they did.

My mother says mayonaise works but I was at my wits end so I went all out.

On Friday night I washed my daughters hair (which was down to her butt)

We then took Vaseline and worked it into her hair. making sure that every bit of her hair was covered.  Sounds gross I know.  We then braided the back of her hair and stuck it in a sock,  We then fashioned a kerchief over her head to keep it all covered.  We left it this way until Saturday evening ( we made a day of it watching movies ordered pizza played board games to keep her mind off of it).

On Satuday evening we took Dawn dishwashing liquid and washed her hair a couple of times.  The combed the nits out.  Nothing was alive.

Her hair was a little oily for a day or two but we washed it each night with a shampoo for oily hair.  It worked great.

Also for the rest of the school year we have problems with other kids never really getting rid of their lice but she never got them again but per G-ma's advice she did not go to school with her hair loose the rest of the year.  It was always neatly french braided with some styling gel over it to hold it and I was told that the gel also deterred the lice.

Good luck feel free to message me if you have any questions

How do ya feel about cats?  That's what I'd do...get a cat...but I love cats and love it when they bring me 'presents' of dead varmints. 

If that's not an option, and you're not comfortable with baiting, glue traps, or that sort of thing, it'd be worth it to hire a professional 'cridder ridder' or exterminator.  Those things will chew up your walls and floorboards like you have no idea and cause incredible amounts of damage.  Good luck in your jihad!
