Debated making it the Tim Treadwell Memorial Thread . . . just to see what Puddle would do with/to that.

[Jon]

And they said it would never last . . .

Still saying it....

[Skrim17]

Hi!!

[Jon]

And thank you all for timing this to happen before Jeopardy.

[Skrim17]

LOL, thanks for the move Jon.

Lexi update: She is starting to eat and drink, moving around the house more comfortably too!

[cfpackerfan]

Wow... I had no idea we were that close. :lol: I was surprised to see the move.
Nice and painless... thanks Jon!

[gjl711]

Whoa!! new threads.. Nice..

Here is the finished product. Well, almost finished. Had a desk on one end.

[cfpackerfan]

That's all good though, Cat - savor the days like that. There are too many when there isn't enough room for all of them.
Amen to that.

We are trying to work out how to help a hoarding situation right now, where the woman lost her home. :shock: We may be getting a flood of dogs/puppies in the next week.

And I get a special case from the shelter here too on Monday (If he doesn't get adopted over the weekend). I'm looking forward to that. SO maybe it's good I didn't have any fosters come home with me today. :)

[Chet]

Is that $40 in materials or more?

Somewhere around there, maybe a bit more, but not much. I build two for a little over $100 if I remember correctly.

Looks like you traded out some PVC for wood in that one JJ.

Jon - Nice rodent photos.

RANT *hates Credit card company right now. Made a payment the day I got the statement, and it went into limbo - then I go charged a late fee. When I called to dispute the charge, I was asked to put my mother on the phone to gain permission to speak to me. I told her that it was my account not my mother's, and that my mother has nothing to do with this account and never had. It turns out that when you make your payment the day the statement is issued, they consider it an extra payment, and not credited towards the amount due, thereby making it late. Spoke to a supervisor, late fee should be removed, and I need to make my payments at least 2 days after the statement is sent to my email* RANT OVER - although I am still not happy with them. The original person was a PITA and did not want to listen to what I was saying.

[monkeygirl]

Great looking pups Cat

Nice move, Jon.

Cat, kumquats are small, look like a tiny pearish/oval shaped orange (about the size of two marbles stuck together. You eat them skin and all...the skin is thinner than tangerine skin. They are not too tart and not too sweet (a wonderful balance btw. the two). Such a refreshing summer snack and full of vitamin C.

LOL, thanks for the move Jon.

Lexi update: She is starting to eat and drink, moving around the house more comfortably too!

oh my gosh these guys are GORGEOUS! You can' take them?
the new HART dogs are so cute too. Love the aussie/catahula (sp, I know) mix.

[gjl711]

... It turns out that when you make your payment the day the statement is issued, they consider it an extra payment, and not credited towards the amount due, thereby making it late. ....Are you serious? That totally doesn't make any sense at all.

[Permagrin]

sorry Heather. That totally sucks. I have one credit card co that continually tries deceptive practices and just hopes you won't notice.

[BearLeeAlive]

Nice digs. :D

Jon, good job on the move, and great wall hangings too. :D

JJ, neat looking pipe bed. What's the load rating on one of those?

Cat, a bunch of great looking dogs, I like the colouring on Vikki.

Heather, you have a good right to complain. That sure seems like a weird call on the payment.

They are in a no-kill shelter, so they are safe. Not ideal... but not in danger.
If Arctic Rescue will take them, it would be ideal. We would do the transport.

And Vikki looks so much like our Keeya and Obi.
With this being the third dog we've pulled that looks like this, I'm wondering if it's a specific breed, rather than a Catahoula/Aussie mix like we're thinking.

Keeya:

Obi:

450343

[Permagrin]

oh yeah, she really does.

[Skrim17]

How big is Ben? Looks like a flat coated collie.

[cfpackerfan]

How big is Ben? Looks like a flat coated collie.We were trying to decide what kind of dog he might be. He's small... not as big as a lab. He's very underweight, but I would guess at proper weight he would be about a 50lb dog.

Oops. Edit that. I was thinking you were talking about Taylor. His name was Ben when we pulled him. LOL. We had to rename him, because we couldn't have 2 Bens at the same time. :lol: He didn't respond to his name, where the other Ben did. So he got his changed. :lol:

Ben is on the large side for a Border Collie, but he's overweight. :lol:

[monkeygirl]

Are you serious? That totally doesn't make any sense at all.

Tell me about it. That was what I was saying to the call center personal, but it took speaking to a supervisor to get the charge removed

Nice digs. :D

Heather, you have a good right to complain. That sure seems like a weird call on the payment.

I know, but will now wait until a couple of days after I get the statement to pay it, instead of paying it early.

Thanks everyone for letting me rant a bit about that credit card. This is the first time that I have had a problem, and although it took a bit of badgering (and most of you know me and how quiet I am) but the charge should be removed by next week (Three business days).

Cat - loving the new H.A.R.T. dogs - I want the lab mix (if I could) he looks adorable.

[poppie guy]

Neat JJ

Thanks for the move Jon. Off to see the horses.
That was a fun horse ride that you linked an hour or so ago.

Get this.... we did a shelter run to the out of town shelters. Came home with dogs, and ALL of them went to other foster homes. :shock:
I walked home from the office with empty leashes.
I'm not sure that has ever happened. :lol: :lol:

It's ok though. We are going to try and stay not crazy full till after Marian's graduation so that we dont' have to move a bunch of dogs around while we're gone.

And do they have some of those fancy looking ones (like the cannon) for the horse or the spectators?

We're hoping to be able to make the run to Lied at least once a month. But if there's ever an emergency with a dog that needs to get out NOW, we'd definitely give you a call. Thanks.

He's got a vet appt in the AM to take care of some things we're worried about (lumps and bad skin, among other things). He'll get neutered too if he doesn't have any infections.

Jon - Nice rodent photos.

RANT *hates Credit card company right now. Made a payment the day I got the statement, and it went into limbo - then I go charged a late fee. When I called to dispute the charge, I was asked to put my mother on the phone to gain permission to speak to me. I told her that it was my account not my mother's, and that my mother has nothing to do with this account and never had. It turns out that when you make your payment the day the statement is issued, they consider it an extra payment, and not credited towards the amount due, thereby making it late. Spoke to a supervisor, late fee should be removed, and I need to make my payments at least 2 days after the statement is sent to my email* RANT OVER - although I am still not happy with them. The original person was a PITA and did not want to listen to what I was saying.They suck, glad it is sorted out.

Zane - just got to watch the video - WOW! Some of those jumps!

And do they have some of those fancy looking ones (like the cannon) for the horse or the spectators?I know, incredible. The idea is to have a horse that is confident and trusts the rider to go over anything. They make the jumps scary for both competitor and spectator. The canon jump made my heart flip more than most anything out there. There is a huge psychological factor to jumping. A high, "airy", jump like that is harder for me than say a solid wall of the same size. A flat wall is more scary than a sloped one. A thick timber wall is different than a thin brush one. By mixing it up they really challenge horse and rider. Also from that camera angle things looked smaller than they are. Those are some huge jumps.

Thought I'd look at some shots from last year.

[Love these :)

*sigh* I wanna go back.I'll meet you there.

We took their photos and will contact Arctic rescue in Vegas to see if they can take them.
Brother and sister, about 4 yrs old. GORGEOUS.
*sigh* I love them. One day, I will have a matched set and we will live in a cabin perched on the side of a mountain with a stream running behind it and the only access will be via foot or horseback...
This was just seconds before Cat was admitted into the OSHU Burn Clinic for 2nd and 3rd degree Dragon burns.

The tree with the giant thorns looks like it might be a pochote....a prize hardwood usually found in Central America...but can range north into the temperate regions of CA.
