Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / September 2004OTP: against all your advice. . .
. . . and the advice of most friends, i am getting a puppy. i just wanna. his pix is on my blog. http://dianechamberlain.com/webblog/ kinda scary, but i keep telling myself it'll only be hard for a year. =:-0 diane visit my website at http://www.dianechamberlain.com >. . . and the advice of most friends, i am getting a puppy. i just wanna. >his > pix is on my blog. http://dianechamberlain.com/webblog/ > kinda scary, but i keep telling myself it'll only be hard for a year. =:-0 > > diane How could you not want him! What a pretty dog he is going to be. Names? Maybe Lightning would go with Keeper. And off topic but related to the post about your granddaughter. Two of my Grandsons have hazel eyes. Before that I was the only one in my family with noticeable hazel eyes. My dad's were, but were so light there looked blue most of the time while mine are mostly dark green. So yes they have "my" eyes. It was most considerate of my daughter as this only happened because she married men with hazel eyes - twice. (She's adopted) Jo ah, jo, that's sweet. diane >Grandsons have hazel eyes. Before that I was the only one in my family with >noticeable hazel eyes. My dad's were, but were so light there looked blue [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > >Jo He is absolutely beautiful. I would like to get my arms around him and cuddle. Kind of reminds me of the full size collie I had years ago. My pets have all had human names (Sally, Cindy, Margaret (Maggie), and Meg etc etc). I kind of like the regal sounding british, Nigel or maybe Lighter, to go with Keeper, or maybe Gregor or Liam, or Max. Now I'm feeling envious of having puppy love and puppy breath around again. Ann > . . and the advice of most friends, i am getting a puppy. i just wanna. his >pix is on my blog. http://dianechamberlain.com/webblog/ You know diane, sometimes a gal just has to do what she has to do and to heck with everyone else.

Donna G >Shadow >would be keeping with a name from one of your trilogy book And he's likely to be Keeper's little shadow.

Didn't have to housebreak him. :) Did have to train to walk on a leash. He was formerly a yard dog but I gots no yard. :( That puppy is a sweetie.

Well, that just seems cruel. To be taken from his Mama, taken to someplace totally new and foreign, shoved in a crate, and left in a dark room all alone? My own personal opinion is that he should be within the sound of your voice (speaking in a normal tone of voice), so that you can talk to him when he cries. Char "Remember, I'm pulling for ya'.

But some how Midnight doesnt seem right. How about the name of a character from the book, rather than from the title? LOL All of a sudden, looking at his face, the name HANK comes to mind. lol Well, maybe not Hank. But perhaps another single syllable, masculine sounding name. Char "Remember, I'm pulling for ya'. We're all in this together." Red Green >All of a sudden, looking at his face, the name HANK comes to mind. lol >Well, maybe not Hank. But perhaps another single syllable, masculine >sounding >name. the main character in the book i'm working on is named jack, but that doesn't seem to work either. i agree on midnight. he will look like his father, niles, when he grows up--kind of regal looking with a long black coat and big white collar around his neck. what did you name your little one again? diane >what did you name your little one again? Well, his name is Tipper. His foster family was calling him Q tip, and I didnt like that, so the next best choice became Tipper. Niles does sound sort of regal doesnt it. lol Or at least British, which is sometimes the same. lol The only other name similar in feel I can think of is Neville, but that wouldnt work, I dont think. How about Percy? rofl No not that either. Perhaps Maximillian and just call him Max? Whatever you decide, he is gorgeous. You can see the intelligence in his eyes. And I think, his sweet nature too. You may have small regrets from time to time from doing this (getting a second dog). But in the end, I believe you will be happy with the decision. Char "Remember, I'm pulling for ya'. We're all in this together." Red Green hmm, i'm adding these name suggestions to my list! jo, my breeder (who is very, very good and has been at it a long time and produced a lot of champions, not that i really care about that) has three litters right now! my little nameless boy is the only tri-color one, and the two blue merle girls are going to be show dogs, but there are a LOT of adorable little sable girls available. then you could not only go to the museum, but meet me, too! diane Diane wrote: > hmm, i'm adding these name suggestions to my list! Here something I read a couple hours ago...........<g> Man Legally Changes His Name to 'They' With No Surname 09-23-2004 9:48 AM BRANSON, Mo. -- A Branson man has put a face to the anonymous references people often make to "they" by changing his name to just that: "They." The former Andrew Wilson, a 43-year-old self-employed inventor, was granted legal permission last week by a circuit judge to change his name. It's just They, no surname. He also has changed his driver's license to reflect his new name. They said he did it for humor to address the common reference to "they." "'They do this,' or 'They're to blame for that.' Who is this 'they' everyone talks about? 'They' accomplish such great things. Somebody had to take responsibility," he said. Now, his friends are getting used to his new name. "They call up and say, 'Is They there?'" He acknowledged the name could drive grammarians crazy. "Not only is he making a statement about his name, but he's messing with the entire English language," friend Craig Erickson said. They holds 14 patents including Ground-Effect lighting, used to create a neon glow beneath vehicles and patented in 1987. His newest product is "Shades Eyewear," which have a built-in visor over each sunglass lens. The visors protect the eyes from glare without having to wear a hat, he said. ... 3 basis hair styles: parted, unparted, and departed. > hmm, i'm adding these name suggestions to my list! > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > diane We won't be ready for about six months.

Maybe 'cause that's the kind of thing my brother would say and no one would think anything of it. I thought of the DC area residents I wasn't meeting quite often over the weekend. But there were even relatives I didn't get to see and I will have to be apologizing to them big time over the next few days. As I told my niece and her husband (first baby due Nov 6, a girl.)

At least in the picture (besides looking gorgeous) he looks far too intelligent and 'old-soul' like to have a typical 'doggie' name. He needs something with a bit of gravitas, but still quick and easy to say. What about the word for 'friend' in some other language - Amigo (Spanish); Ami (French); Yideedee (Short i, strong accent on last syllable - slang for friend in Hebrew. CHaver is the literal 'friend.' But it's hard to say for those who can't do the gutteral ch which is a bit like gargling). Freund (German). There is the Aussie - Mate. That's the end of my knowledge.

I went back to the picture of your new baby and showed him to Charlie. Told him that is what the next dog we get looks like. (Color etc). Maybe I should have you reserve a girl from the next litter of Keeper's sibling's for me now. Picking her up would give me a chance to visit the Museum of the American Indian that opened Tuesday, the day we had to leave Washington to get back home after my brothers funeral.

Get yourself some Apple Bitter cream. Paku chewed through some computer cables before I had the cream. I remember the day I told him to stop or I was going to wash his mouth out with the stuff. I finally did that by putting some on my finger, like you would finger brush your teeth and then rubbing his gums with it. Gawd that was awful but it worked. What is that thing about hurting me more than him... The next time he came near one of the cords that I had covered with the stuff, he caught the odor and recoiled. They sold me the gel because they said it stuck better to cords than any other formula and they were right. They did get along very well. She needed mothering and he was only to happy to help. I tried to keep them separated in the beginning because my vet said to keep them separate for a week but Paku really wanted her and she needed him. I was right there hovering. She arrived about 3 am if I remember correctly. I put her in the pet tent he was raised in but I slept in the room with her so when she cried I could murmur to her. Paku was outside the door of that bedroom. The next morning at dawn I let him in and hovered. After about an hour, I opened the pet tent and let them get closer than nose/mesh/nose. Never had a problem. I hope Keeper is thrilled with a new playmate. You have an enclosed backyard right? I can see then herding that ball together. Don't tell anyone, but sometimes I think I want another. lol Duckie > duckie, i've had so many suggestions for names, especially from blog readers. > bay is cute, but i think i'm going with java. it sounds good. i'm trying to [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > visit my website at http://www.dianechamberlain.com Signature_('> (_<_) _ _('< -quack (_<_) _ __('< *QUACK!* <_{__) _('< "|,,|_" (_<_) _('< "AFLAC!"
