I thought you made up words until I played with Jim :shock:

sheesh, I have to have a dictionary when I play with Jim, just to know what he's posted. I hate not knowing. :lol:

*dives at roll* :D Thanks Lisa

[3Turner]

Did I answer this yet? I have quotes hanging on both computers...

I can't put them on my site without permission and that hasn't been granted yet. Apparently the pictures have to be approved by the celebrities that attended the event and it's a little hard to get them approved when they're still on my hard drive because I haven't finished processing them yet.
Nope, don't think you did before. So essentially, getting permission from the celebrities is gonna be near impossible.


Well, I think I need to head to bed. Have an early appointment and then head home. Nighters.

[Permagrin]

*dives at roll* :D Thanks Lisa

ignore everything I just typed on the scrabble game Z. I'm way tired tonight. :lol::lol::lol::lol:

Good luck Chief!

[Permagrin]

I hope you guys find it. It'll be hard in the dark but maybe it'll come if called.

G'night kids.

Good night Kit

:lol: :lol:

The whole background story on the pups is just so nuts that I decided not to tell the whole thing, cause you wouldn't believe me anyway. :lol: Let's just say that he didn't even know if there were 6 or 7 pups, and they had to 'go 4-wheeling' to get the puppies from where they were. :rolleyes:

And he really did tell us that he thought the pups were Dingos.

stupid people

Guess I'll go take another drive around and look for the dog. See you all later.

Good Luck Chief.

Good night everyone that has gone before mek and I am also headed off to bed

[JWright]

That actual line isn't in the movie, but there is a big part that revolves around it.
It's the Seinfeld clip that made that line popular.

I never have seen Seinfeld either.

Me neither... I often marveled at the vast numbers of people that identified with a series about four losers and that it remained on the air for as long as it did.

:lol: :lol:

Are these people from one of those families whose tree has no branches?

Nope, don't think you did before. So essentially, getting permission from the celebrities is gonna be near impossible.

Not necessarily... I just need to wait and see. Since the event supports a non-profit organization, there is a likelihood they will want the publicity and since none of the pictures depict them in an unfavorable light it should happen.

I think I'm going to head east. We, sort of south east actually.

G'night kids.

We have to go northwest...

[eddarr]

I love how the freckles on Cisco's nose are black on top and brown on the sides.


Good night all. It is way past my bedtime.

[CrazieCricket]

Coffee drinkers in the thread will appreciate my pain today.

I've been avoiding coffee for a couple months now, having a sip of Ash's once in a great while but nothing more than that. Well today, during lunch, we went to Tully's and both got coffees. I've been feeling like crap ever since. I've had issues with coffee off and on for the past 6 months but it was very hit and miss and I didn't give it any heed. In the past two months though, every time I had more than a sip or two, I get sick. Nauseated, upset stomach and dizzy. :( It's not caffeine either because I can have caffeinated tea and other beverages without issue. So it looks like my relationship with coffee is at an end
I'm sooo in the same boat. My tummy gets very upset with coffee. Even decafe. But, I'm fine with teas and such.

GOT IT! brane hurtz. :o
LOL and I so had to look up somnolent. LOL!!!

The best laid plans....

Sheesh.

Mosey is still at the shelter.

Kirby is here. Apparently, he and one of the other big black labs at Apple Valley got into it last night, and he lost.
got him all fixed up, wrapped up and such, and he's here now. He's a BIG boy. And not housebroken. Not neutered yet, and now Doc doesn't want to do it till he's healed a bit. *sigh*

So he's got a foot wrapped, with a toe almost off, and his head/face is shaved in a couple places to allow drainage from the bite wounds.

We have no idea what happened, or which dog he fought with. *sigh*
sheesh, sorry about poor Kirbs. Poor guy. Give him an extra hug from me.

They piled up on each other in the crate.

They put their little brother on the bottom.
Poor little guy.. all those sisters. :lol:
LOL!!!! He's squished!!!!

We just spent the better part of the last two hours out helping a friend look for her dog. Apparently the gardeners left the gate open, and she took off.

She's a 5-month old Teacup Chihuahua, and she's apparently been gone since mid-morning. We're hoping someone found her, and are preparing posters to paper the neighborhood with.

This is our friend I've mentioned before, the Katrina survivor, and she's devastated over this little dog. I gues Lois and I will offer a reward; I don't think she's in a position to do it.

The dog loves everyone, and would have gone to the first person she came across. Hopefully it was someone well-intended.
Awwwwwww she is a cutie too! Hope you all find her soon.

This is a residential area, so I doubt there would be any Coyotes, but there are lots of airborne predators in the area. I looked out our front window one day and witnessed a falcon devouring a Cottontail Rabbit on our lawn. (left a heck of a mess)

This dog is certainly no larger than the typical Cottontail. Still, we're hopeful a neighbor found it and took it in for safe keeping. Also, she hasn't checked animal control yet, either.
I worry about predators too when I take Cricket and Scout out for a run. I take them to a state park area that is very close to an audubon area. I hear hawks and eagles all the time and freak out. I'm scared one will come along and get my little Cricket girl.


QUIT GIVING AWAY THE CINNAMON ROLLS!!! GAAA!! mine... they're all mine... my preciousssss....
:lol:





Oh aren't we witty and a bit faster on the post. Hi Chris, you look loverly tonight.
:lol:
Are you kidding me?!

75% of all of my references and humor once came from that show. :lol:
uggggh never liked Seinfield. Sorry. :lol:

[poppie guy]

hmmmmm, a late night snack sounds really good. I hope there's an apple left in the fridge.

[short5]

I have left over thai food :D

[short5]

Though an apple and peanut butter sounds better :confused:

[Permagrin]

I'm having some zantac for a snack if anyone wants one. :rolleyes: Hello heartburn good bye sleep.

*waves* well...that wasn't a real wave...more like a wobble...but if I put *wobbles* I'm not sure what you'd think I was talking about. :lol:

[short5]

Awww, crap Lisa. 75 milligrams? If so take two if you need. Zantac extra is 150 milligrams. I take one prescription Zegerid a day and I can eat anything. *burps Thai*

[Permagrin]

I didn't know that. Good to know.

I don't know what's happened lately. Everything gives me heartburn. Some things worse than others but it's just crazy. ungh.


Off to try to sleep again.

[short5]

Sadly one of the worse heart burn inducers is bread. Night again some more.

[poppie guy]

Heartburn sux Lisa, when I get it Rolaids takes away the burn.

Found a red delicious apple, chilled in the fridge. Thanks for the peanut butter idea Zane.

Night Lisa.

[BearLeeAlive]

oh lets not go there, Captain "that's not a word!" :lol::lol:
You've heard that too, eh? Last time I heard that from him was a few games back when I played 'thirsted'. Quite a common word, actually. :lol:
I thought you made up words until I played with Jim :shock:
I do admit to 'experimenting' with letter combos, especially when trying to get rid of letters (like in the current game) and get a rack of something useful. 'tis an advantage of this online type play where you have a dictionary right on the board. :lol:
sheesh, I have to have a dictionary when I play with Jim, just to know what he's posted. I hate not knowing. :lol:

[Becky N]

TOM sorry about your neighbor's dog, you efforts are commendable hope the little one shows up unscathed.

*puts cinnamon rolls on the bar for anyone I missed*

*dives at roll* Thanks Lisa

Why are the rolls gone?

Bummer you missed it. I already fed it to the Raccoons.

Oh, good going T.D.:rolleyes:

I think I'm going to head east. We, sort of south east actually.

Ours is straight south...though I think there are other reasons it seems warmer in there.;):D

Mike, trust me on this.
http://www.kremaproducts.com/Crazy-Richards-Natural-Chunky-Peanut-Butter-case-of-12/productinfo/CR035/

Sounds good, I like peanut butter you have to stir up first.:D

G'MAE Curt was the hero this morning. Last night I brought home a big bag of dog food. Because there was still some in the bin that would be used this morning, I left it in the garage to bring in after I filled Bax's bowl. Went out this morning to get it and there was a quarter size hole in the top that wasn't there last night...I had Curt open it, with the exception of our resident Mouse here, I don't like it when mice come out, even when I expect it. :shock: Time to find the box with the traps...hope they don't eat any of that cheese that was in the link I posted a couple days ago.:lol:

[Skrim17]

Becky, I think a cat would be a better solution, besides Bax would love a kitten!!!

Zane, we only eat crazy Richards, it is awesome.

I so dislike Seinfeld, if I need a whining fix I have a kid...

[Becky N]

Becky, I think a cat would be a better solution, besides Bax would love a kitten!!!

For a snack, maybe.;) Sorry as much as I love everyone's cats on here, we are just not cat people. *shrugs*

What will be better for us is if the owl I heard the other morning sticks around. :D

[Skrim17]

No one is a cat person until they get one.

[Harm]

Goooooood Morning people of PoTN :)

[Skrim17]

Harm did you see the thing about the gas pedals on Toyotas?

[Skrim17]

The estimated delivery for my new machine is 2/11/10, I ordered it on the 18th. Good thing I got a good deal on it, i7, 6 gb ram, speedy 750 hdd and a monitor (which probably sucks) for 1050! I had a coupon.

[Harm]

Harm did you see the thing about the gas pedals on Toyotas?

Yes, I did - thanks. Actually a few have sent me PMs which is nice. We have spoken to the dealership who said that should our vehicle be one off the list they will contact us to get it sorted out.

Basically Toyota have said that a particular factory has had 2-3% of their vehicles off their assembly line have an accelerator issue. So rather than looking at the batch from that particular factory, they are recalling every vehicle from it and replacing the parts - issue or no issue. But I've been told that if the accelerator feels heavy and hard to push down to accelerate or slow to come off the gas when i take my foot off it, to go to a dealership and they will fix it on the spot...

until then, I can use it as an excuse if i get caught speeding ;)

[Chet]

Howdy kids.

So, the most important thing about Kirby's wrappings.. that is stays on, and it stays dry.

So I says to the doc yesterday "whew! thank goodness all the raining is over!"

I shoulda known better. :rolleyes:

So this morning, as I open his crate, and have to hold an "OH MY GOSH I HAVE TO PEE!" dancing dog still while putting a plastic baggie over his wrapped foot and trying to get a rubber band around it to hold it on, and Star is jumping all over my head, and Drake is barking because he has no idea why no one else has gone outside with him.....
... the thought might have crossed my mind that I'm insane.

[misspix]

g'night friend Dragon :) *fingers still crossed*
Countdown started :)
I want a cinnamon roll. :(

*wonders if a slice of bread stuck in the oven with butter and cinnamon sugar will do*

G'night Drache!
...
It does when you haven't had bread in 3 weeks.
That.

I've tried having a cat or two before. I am not a cat person.:| They are great if they belong to other people. I am however, a C@ person. :lol: If you need a break, Cat, you can come visit me and have my dogs help you relax. :lol:

hi Tiff / Paula

[cfpackerfan]

So what are the plans for today, everyone? Hmmm?

I'm going to finish this cup of coffee, and then go do my dishes which have sat neglected for 2 days ( :shock: ) then steam clean the carpets. Even though it's raining. And even though I have a dog that isn't housebroken.
If I wait for the perfect time to do it, it never gets done. And it NEEDS to be done. (gag!)

It's raining (again) so I don't think I'll be going to the dog park.

Believe it or not, we don't have any meetings, or shelter runs, or anything scheduled for today. That doesn't mean that stuff won't come up as the day progresses, but it's nice to look out and see an empty schedule, ya know? I can't remember the last time that happened.

[sevillafox]

I've got laundry hell waiting for me at home along with other assorted cleaning, panting in the studio space, going through the pics from my mom's horse training event, lots of processing.....

[Harm]

I am flat out with a proposal, a lunch & learn presentation (lots of good free pizza), and football tonight (kick off at 10pm)....oh, and I have to buy some new contact lenses...

Wrapping up my own last cup o java for the morn...just finished the 'whenever I have a spare minute' house cleaning...

Going to get dressed, then off to the grocery store (:confused: hate that) to replenish the cupboards.

We have pretty sun today, so will enjoy being out in it :D

I, too, have an empty schedule. It prolly won't last, but am enjoying it for the moment!

Cheerios and bananas!! *waves* Catch you all latah!

[Belmondo]

A lot of paperwork to do. I have two properties to put on the market., a sale to process, an escrow to open, and all this while I keep my fingers crossed on one that's supposed to close today. Lenders are so paranoid these days, they're making things extremely difficult, even where there's no justification for doing so.

No puppy news. We went out last night, and I just drove around for another hour this morning. I printed a couple hundred fliers last night, and the dog's owner is going to paper the n'hood with them today, and hopefully that will do the trick. I have no idea if rewards work, but Lois and I are offering one for the owner. I don't think she can. *sigh*

[cfpackerfan]

I need to get up and start the dishes, but I've got dead dog living room here, and I know the second I stand up, the wonderful quiet will be gone. *sigh*

What to do what to do. :lol:

Yeah, it's bad.

Aidan tossed all the clean stuff on the floor the other day and started crawling in it. I asked him what he was doing.....he was making snow angels.

Painting I don't mind. It's mostly the edging left. But, painting and kids is not fun.

And, ROFLMAO on jim's mom.

[cfpackerfan]

Cat, have there been any sightings of Jenna? *asks tenatively, doesn't want to upset the C@*
None at all. At this point, with it being a whole week, there really are only a few scenarios....

1. Someone found her, took her in and loves her. This is the one that I choose to believe.

2. She is traveling, and no longer in the Veyo area. We are spreading our posters out to cover about 75 miles. If she's on the road, hopefully someone will see her and our poster. This one is a high possibility.

3. She didn't beat the odds of surviving bad weather/mountain lions/traffic/no food/abandonment.
I choose not to believe this one.

[mtnphtgrphr]

I'm at work... have been for a three hours... going to go to lunch soon... even though I ate my albeit healthy but not very tasty lunch at my desk.

Not sure what I will do with my lunch hour...

Cat... I'd sit still and enjoy the dead dog living room! ;)

[cfpackerfan]

All righty then. I'm going to blatantly ignore Jen's advice and get my self going. :lol:

Failed science experiment?

That depends on the perspective. My PM knew I had issues with smells and a queasy stomach. (This was before I was diagnosed with gluten intolerance so I puked a lot and for "no reason"). So the experiment might have been trying to see if he could make me puke on "command" or the experiment might have been in the container. lol We'll never know!!!

Sorry to hear Kody
Thanks Heather :)

I'm sooo in the same boat. My tummy gets very upset with coffee. Even decafe. But, I'm fine with teas and such.

This mostly makes me dizzy and nauseous, not necessarily that I'm going to hurl but I just feel SICK. Hard to explain. It sucks but there are other alternatives. :)



GMAE! We've got FOG this morning!

Much as I'd like to do what I normally do, nothing, I have to finish processing the images from last Friday and get them uploaded to the paper's ftp site.

It was so tedious yesterday and since a lot of them were of award recipients at the podium, I created a preset in LR for that particular lighting. It sped up the process because all I had to do was crop and then hit the preset. Once I'm done I'll delete the preset because I doubt the lighting will be the same next year...

Sometime in the next couple of days I have to help a friend reinstall some software on her computer. She deleted some stuff by accident and she doesn't want to tell her husband because he'll ridicule her for her "ineptness..."

[JWright]

Oh, and of course the first thing is to vote for H.A.R.T.

because...

Oh, good going T.D.:rolleyes:

G'MAE Curt was the hero this morning. Last night I brought home a big bag of dog food. Because there was still some in the bin that would be used this morning, I left it in the garage to bring in after I filled Bax's bowl. Went out this morning to get it and there was a quarter size hole in the top that wasn't there last night...I had Curt open it, with the exception of our resident Mouse here, I don't like it when mice come out, even when I expect it. :shock: Time to find the box with the traps...hope they don't eat any of that cheese that was in the link I posted a couple days ago.

oh bummer. I admit to not minding the creatures UNLESS they are inside the house. *shudder*

Wrapping up my own last cup o java for the morn...just finished the 'whenever I have a spare minute' house cleaning...

Going to get dressed, then off to the grocery store (:confused: hate that) to replenish the cupboards.

We have pretty sun today, so will enjoy being out in it :D

I, too, have an empty schedule. It prolly won't last, but am enjoying it for the moment!

Cheerios and bananas!! *waves* Catch you all latah!
I have to do the grocery thing today too. I was suppose to yesterday, but was feeling very unwell. Other than that, I have to take hubs laundry to the laundromat, and Scout out for his daily walk in the fields (part of training). It's cold and dreary here today. Uggghhh

I need to get up and start the dishes, but I've got dead dog living room here, and I know the second I stand up, the wonderful quiet will be gone. *sigh*

What to do what to do. :lol:
I always sit very still when I have dead dog livingroom. :lol:

[Skrim17]

We got up early to study for a spelling test, here at work I am down one staff so that is always a pain, went to the gym for basketball and have yoga in the afternoon, I've got so much laundry to do I actually brought some of it with me to work!! today is sparring day for karate class so extra crap to lug around after making sure the HW is done, clean the house, do more laundry, make dinner then collapse. Oh and while he's at karate I've gotta go help my mom get my dad cleaned up and into bed.

[Permagrin]

Mornin', Lisa. Heartburn better?

Morning Chief.
Yep. I probably overindulged on yesterday's bread. :lol:

[Permagrin]

I rarely have to go to the grocery store. For which I'm truly thankful.

[sevillafox]

Planning on some extracurricular activities after the boys go to bed eh?


:p:p:p:p:p:p

<-------------- ready for spring. Just sayin'

Sounds ideal. I'm trying to decide if I should get Lois to drop an application at the local grocery store.

[Permagrin]

:lol: sometimes looking at my spring shots is the ONLY thing that cheers me up in a dreary winter.

In fall around here, one can get out (the rain breaks up occasionally) and shoot fall colors. But winter...it's just bleah. No snow. No sun. Just grey or rain. :confused:

Every time I want to move back to the coast, the greyness over rides that want (well mostly overrides...I suppose if Dan said today "want to move back" I'd start packing immediately). Oregon coasts are lovely at certain times of the year but the overwhelming majority is grey, windy & raining.

[Permagrin]

lol! It is ideal. Every day he sends me a text that says "what do you need before I come home". It couldn't be any nice. I HATE the grocery stores. :lol::lol:

[BearLeeAlive]

No puppy news.
I sure hope the little fella is ok, and that your flyers help him find his way home.
I like to paint though. And I hear that Jim's mom is a great pai.... wait. She's broken. Cross her off as a possible helper.


:p
Yeah, yeah......rub it in. :lol:
But, I did a good job, eh?
If you put us up at Green Valley, we'll help paint.

:lol: :lol: That's even worse than letting Jim break you!
:lol:
And last nigt, I even learned that "glid" is not a word, from Z :lol:

It's 'glidded' then, right? :lol:
<-------------- ready for spring. Just sayin'
More then willing to wait a couple months here, still lots of skiing to do. I don't leave for my 10 day backcountry trip for a month yet. ;)

[BearLeeAlive]

Need a new printer, maybe check this one out.
I would sure like to try it out if someone picks one up :D

I don't mind the winter much except for the cold. I love the frozen fog we had...that was really neat! I do wish we would get some more days with heavy frost or light snow...where it clings to the trees prettily.


But, I'm mostly ready for warm!

[CrazieCricket]

<-------------- ready for spring. Just sayin'



I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm ready for spring too. :lol: I thought I liked the cold. But for some reason the cold here is different than in Oregon. It seems I'm always cold here. Just can't seem to warm up very often.:confused:

[BearLeeAlive]

But, I'm mostly ready for warm!
You should live up here then. We have furnaces in our homes, heaters in our vehicles, and wooly underwear for outside. We stay warm. ;) :D

Do you think it just might be that you are living in a thin walled RV? ;)

Could be. :lol: Hubby is always warm in the RV though. Which makes me think it's just me.:confused::lol:

Quote-free catch-up this time . . .

Bummer on the missing furkids!

And Cat, it's only just occurred to you?

O.M.G.

do people not do their homework??

You know you're in a crap meeting when the guy presenting his company to you starts to rave about his super fantastic new supplier based in "Czechoslovakia". Has it on his powerpoint slides, handouts etc. etc. Did he hit 88mph and go Back to the Future?

I lost immediate interest in the meeting after that.

Page 26 and this is my first post. Life is mad mad busy on the work front and Harley is taking lots of time (good time but to get it other things have to give) Work is so hectic that I am going to India Sunday night and returning Friday morning, I am only going to take T's G9 with me.

Harley is doing really well, retrieving dummies and is now doing a sitting present. She is getting very tall but remains sleek and fit.

I will try and get some more Video footage when I get back from India, I have some radio mikes now so on the next Vid you will be able to hear what I am saying to her.

Her training will level off for a while now as the next things she needs to learn really need her to be a little older and less of a puppy, so for the next few months it will just be reenforcing the things she knows and getting her used to loud bangs.

CAT

I have been trying to catch up but why are we voting again? Is this something new? Did you get anything from the last vote?

[Permagrin]

Hi Neil. I thought you'd already gone to India.

Glad to hear Harley is doing well. Can't wait to see the video.

How is Teresa liking the the 7D?

Those things aren't the same. I like it to be warm where I can wear jeans and a tshirt outside and not freeze my bum off.

Any ideas throbbing brain people?

My dad gave me a Lexar Media 512mb CF card that he can't get the pictures off of. He can see the thumbs on his camera but they will not upload to the computer. I have tried RescuePro and my other recovery programs, even windows sees the files, I just can't get them off the card.

Any ideas?

[Jon]

What specific Lexar? Back a few years ago they had a proprietary extension to the CF spec that was supposed to be higher performance. It worked (mostly) OK in-camera, but you needed a Lexar reader to cope with it; other brands need not apply. If that's what it is, you might need to try downloading from the camera, or to scrounge up an older Lexar reader.

It is an older card, he used it daily until this. He has a thing with using larger cards for this very reason. He uses a bunch of 512's with his 5d so he won't lose a days worth of pictures if one card turns up gimpy.

It's a Professional Compact Flash with WA (Write Acceleration Technology) Lexar Media 512mb 80x.

SN# 3911512cb20059171Yeah - "Write Acceleration"was Lexar's proprietary thing now you mention it. I'm not too surprised recovery software can't cope with it. Maybe see what Lexar has available for it.But Write Acceleration is one reason Lexar had to recall a bunch of their cards (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=74619&highlight=Lexar+recall) because they didn't play nicely with some of the Canon cameras and why some of us are still skittish about Lexar cards.

$41 for peanut butter? Did I miss something? Is it a case of peanut butter?

And last nigt, I even learned that "glid" is not a word, from Z :lol:



Yes a case, and you are cute when you are sleepy and try to scrabble :lol:

Where the heck is JJ??

[3Turner]

Afternoon folks. :D

Not necessarily... I just need to wait and see. Since the event supports a non-profit organization, there is a likelihood they will want the publicity and since none of the pictures depict them in an unfavorable light it should happen.
And to make sure that there were no wardrobe malfunctions caught in a shot? :lol:

So this morning, as I open his crate, and have to hold an "OH MY GOSH I HAVE TO PEE!" dancing dog still while putting a plastic baggie over his wrapped foot and trying to get a rubber band around it to hold it on, and Star is jumping all over my head, and Drake is barking because he has no idea why no one else has gone outside with him.....
... the thought might have crossed my mind that I'm insane.
You are insane.....insanely helpful to all the dogs.

A lot of paperwork to do. I have two properties to put on the market., a sale to process, an escrow to open, and all this while I keep my fingers crossed on one that's supposed to close today. Lenders are so paranoid these days, they're making things extremely difficult, even where there's no justification for doing so.

No puppy news. We went out last night, and I just drove around for another hour this morning. I printed a couple hundred fliers last night, and the dog's owner is going to paper the n'hood with them today, and hopefully that will do the trick. I have no idea if rewards work, but Lois and I are offering one for the owner. I don't think she can. *sigh*
Bummer about not finding the dog and very generous of you for the reward. Hope you find the pup.

That depends on the perspective. My PM knew I had issues with smells and a queasy stomach. (This was before I was diagnosed with gluten intolerance so I puked a lot and for "no reason"). So the experiment might have been trying to see if he could make me puke on "command" or the experiment might have been in the container. lol We'll never know!!!
:lol:

Where the heck is JJ??
He should actually be here in San Antonio or on the way back home. His son graduated last Friday from basic training....and I completely forgot about it! I don't even remember if I sent him my number to give me a call.

[Permagrin]

ymmmmmmmmmm just roasted some PNG coffee & am doing Kona now.

I just found this photo on my iPhone. I'd forgotten taking it. This was at the Brian Setzer Orchestra Christmas show we went to last month. This phone takes really horrid photos, but it was all I had.

We had really wonderful seats in the second row, right in the middle, BUT.......


They put us behind a punked Wookie.

[Permagrin]

LOL! Nice.



Hey dog owners...question. Do all dogs have big-ish jowls? Kona's lips/jowl things are often kind of tucked in his teeth....he looks very dorky when he does this. :lol:

Not all dogs... But, some do. Actually, now that I look at her, Minnie's are kinda big and flappy. They don't get stuck in her teeth, but they do hang down over her lower jaw. It's what gives her that German Shepherd look in the face... I don't remember any of the other dogs in my life being all that jowly.

LOL! Nice.

And, just how does someone try to call another, when the one doesn't have the other's number? Just start dialing at random and hope for the best?

It was just funny...he holds them (the jowls) in his teeth tight. It's not like I can slip them out or anything. It must hurt.
