A Thread about anything, but mostly Grandkids Pictures

He ain't a lap dog to me, but he kinda sneaks that one on her, is funny to watch cause he knows if he just tries to sit on her lap it won't work, he starts on the couch and slips over a little at a time.

Glen, It sounds like he's got the "Lassie Crawl" down pat.

[Leo Tanner]

I'll tell ya what, that lab I had here yesserday eneded up stayin the night.  Things barely a year old an is just the perfect dog.  Now I know what all the fuss about the breed is.  Everytime I'd go out fer a smoke I'd give her a pat on the head an she'd lay at ma feet.  Kinda startin ta miss her already.  The dipwads that own her named her Another, which is dumb so I just called her Girl an she seemed ta get that I was talkin ta her. 
Of course Angel was very jelous, but put up with it ok.

[Texas Lawdog]

Leo, Now you know why Glen and I love Labs so much.

[Leo Tanner]

I had a pup once, it was black too but one of my daughters was allergic and ended up in the ICU after sleeping with it.  I found a great home fer her and haven't seen her since.  God made sure that one got a good home, the kid I gave her to was the son of dog trainers.  Met him in front of a gas station goin ta get smokes.  He had just lost a female black lab ta old age an it was a perfect fit.  Sad an happy at the same time fer me.

Victoria is a lot like Rowdy. She sleeps with my wife more than I do. She tries to split her time between both of us.

[Leo Tanner]

Angel has perty much become Lil's dog an Sammie is The Boy's dog.  Was about ta kidnap the lab from last night an say "THIS IS MY DOG!"  Just can't get over what a good un it was.  If ya knew the owner ya'd know that all it's smarts was natural an not trained.  Other words, the dog is smarter than all the folks around her.

[Texas Lawdog]

They're something special for sure. Depending on how much longer I live, Victoria may be my last dog.

A fine lookin bunch Mr. Cole.  I'm sure they keep ya busy.

[Arcey]

Nice lookin’ group ah kids, Curly. Ain’t believein’ my number three grandkid’ll be here in a few weeks.

[Ozark Tracker]

Good lookin kids Curley,

the other day when the kids were here, Jada was washin dishes and Jackie was standing right behind her and Jada told her "the train is stopped"  Jackie asked her what she was talkin about,  she repeated the train ain't moving and she pointed out the window toward the turkey houses,   she can see enough to think the buildings there was a train,  Jackie told her that's turkey houses,  Jada kept sayin it was a train,  finally Jackie just got her and put her on the 4 wheeler and took her down and showed her what it was.

now I said all that to say,  Jada starts school at the School for the Blind on Aug 17,  but we are so tickled to see that she can see to some degree,  those turkey houses are almost 1000 ft. from the kitchen window and she had to have seen it to say that there was a train down there.  here in the house you can ask her to go get something,  she'll go right to what your pointing at, she know her colors, when you point at something here in the house, she can tell you the color,  I'm sure everythng isn't clear to her but  she gets around pretty good

when the doctors  first started  talkin about her vision,  they said she'd never be able to see anything.  we are awful thankful that she does as good as she does,  nothing slows her down, if you could see her play,  you wouldn't know she has a problem at all. 

Thanks to everyone who's said a little prayer through the years.

[Leo Tanner]

Great lookin kid OT an a great story.  Nothin more fun than provin the docs wrong.  Sounds like she is good at adapting.

[Curley Cole]

 Thank you, Actually them is only 5 out of a total of TEN.. Like a fool I started given the kids an American Silver Eagle at birth and then on birthdays...dang....then I decided to add a tenth ounce gold eagle on their 10 bday...gultton for punishment. now that they are gettin older they look foward to them.

OT, VERY cute child, and glad there is joy in the house. Prayers continue for you.

good shootin

The wife was taking the loss of Kokopelli pretty hard, so we went to the Washoe County Humane Society (NOT AFFIATED WITH HSUS).  There we found Samantha (Sam).  After one day she’s already taking on her big brother, Jake.  He has already accepted her as his little sister, and just whacks her on the top of her head when she attacks him.

[Leo Tanner]

Bet it would be fun ta watch Sam play with a ball of yarn.  They're really somethin at that age.

She has a small stuffed toy she bats all over the hardwood floors in the kitchen, dining room and hallway.  That’s between chasing Captain Jake Cutter, and sleeping.

[Leo Tanner]

Only cat I ever had I got from out bahind a dumpster at a hotel I worked at.  Mama was a stray an had a litter back there.  One was a runt and weren't gettin no milk.  Took it home an nursed it.  Little Miss was a toddler then an named it Cleo.  Funny thing is, in Pinoccio Cleo was the goldfish an Figaro were the cat.  She got confused an named the kitten after the fish.  Once that thing got it's nurishment up it would fling all over the house like a rocket ship.  Both me an Little Miss er allergic ta cats so once it was good an healthy we gived her up ta more cat friendly folks.  But boy howdy, them kittens is cute.

[Texas Lawdog]

Russ, I'm glad you got Capt. Jake a companion. I think cats do better when they have another cat to be with them.

The only all black (Sam does have an extremely small white spot on her chest) I've had was a cat picked up in the median of I 95 in Wisconsin by a former girl friend’s sister.  Called that one George. (large history of calling my female cats with names that sounded male…Charlie (named after a girl n High school named Charlene, George after a girl I knew named  Georgina…Max after an Aunt named Maxine).  Kokopelli was the only exception.
Jake is a feral born cat from our old apartment.  They are getting along just fine!!  Was a little worried if he’d adjust, but they are doing fine.

[Russ T Chambers]

Even though it looks like it, he hasn’t killed her.  Just shows the size difference right now!

[Texas Lawdog]

Russ, It looks like Jake is showin' Sam who is the BOSS!

[Leo Tanner]

Russ, It looks like Jake is showin' Sam who is the BOSS!

Give it time.  I remember when Angel was small an Sammie thought she was the boss.  Sammie is no longer the boss.  Now that I have been loaned a camera I'll have ta put up some current photos of them.

Victoria passed her checkup at the vets today, with flying colors. She had lost almost 3 lbs, which pleased the Moose.

[Russ T Chambers]

I think this was the way Jake was keeping from being harassed!!  She just tears around the house, chasing him every time he turns his back. 
Glad Victoria passed muster.  Keeping  the weight down is good for them.  We have the problem now with the high fat kitten chow VS the adult cat food.  Guess who likes each other’s food!!
 Samantha has her first vet appointment next week, for the last of her kitten shots.
