Well I hope we can! I was too busy in Belize (bummer!) but LP again would be FUN!!!! 'Shell

BIG hugs and positive vibes!! 'Shell

If you used to mix it in, why do you pour it out now?? 'Shell

Awww! That is a WONDERFUL story. Very much the same story of my little deaf white girl, Bug (dumped at 5 months on the side of the highway). Deaf dogs are actually VERY easy to train! They make much better eye contact with you and, of course, respond to hand signals whereas my hearing dog just looks away! Looks like she is going to have a wonderful forever home! AWESOME!!! Thanks for sharing Ryoder!

He counts on me to add him. He's lazy like that. I guess it's the least I can do for him adding ME to Belize! And TallGuy, I got a little teary eyed too! You NAILED the experience!

Well, the garden is actually two planters - about 3-1/2' high x 6' long x 2' deep - so they can't actually get into those. It's the FROST that's an issue. I tried covering them this past fall and I still had frost damage. Guess I'll just HOPE it warms up!!! 'Shell

Me too. About 4 feet of it. At this rate, I won't GET a garden in! And the upside down tom plants are probably a distant memory since the roof of the deck came down from all the snow last month! No where for them to hide from the frost (that's inevitable for us into the latter part of May)! Oh well, I'll do my best and hope that it warms up enough for at least the tom plants - and some old sheets to cover them just in case! Lettuce should make it in the garden, even if I plant in June. MAYBE I'll plant some swiss chard and beets too. At least the greens are yummy if the beets don't grow. Try one of these to get things going.... it does not take much of a lightbulb inside it to keep the frost away... http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000NCTGQE/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_3?pf_rd_p=486539851&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B000EHJN84&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=14WNR30P0YS2F4YHYE44 I've thought about those but with the dogs having access to the deck, they'd get into it, which is why I have the upside down hangers for the toms. But thanks. One day, maybe ... when they stop eating plants ... 'Shell

I'd point them to this thread and bore them to death ... 'Shell

Awww. I'm SO sorry for your loss! Bug and Tucker and I are sending you BIG (((((HUGS))))) 'Shell

You KNOW I love your babies! What sweeties!!

We heard the news while we were in Belize. There were quite a few of us from Alberta at the boogie and were there for Jean when she received the news. Ian was one of a kind and truly wonderful friend. I'll miss that giggle of his. Here's a pic that was taken on a road trip to Jasper in November 2004. Blue skies Ian. I'll miss you! 'Shell

A friend came by today that works in construction and he and his brother are going to take care of the mess and rebuild it. Considering it's been up for over 15 years, I guess it had a good life. The table and chairs under it, not so much! 'Shell

No one was hurt. Thank god the dogs were in the house with me. 'Shell

So, we had a lot of snow here in Edmonton in January. More than we've had in a lot years (I'm guessing decades). It's been warmer recently. Things melting. HERE is what happened to me tonight. About an hour ago ... FML ... http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=615416&id=864205396&l=8a90685883 And I leave on vacation on Tuesday morning and have to deal with THIS now ... FML .... 'Shell

Is this your Yoda imitation? This must make you a Star Wars fan kind of movie nerd... Elvisio "confused" Rodriguez I thought the same thing! 'Shell

Sure this is tucker (right) helping Chaos get use to his new house. AWESOME!!! They look very sweet together!

BIG (((((HUGS))))) to you!!! While we've never met, I look forward to the day we do.

Can I see a pic of Chaos and Tucker please and thanks. That would be nice.

YOU just turned 50 as well. Guess that's how THAT happened so fast! Yes, Happy Birthday Wayne!!!! Edmonton misses you!

Awesome!!! Thanks!

THANK YOU!!! i JUST had the conversation with some 20-something's tonight. They don't get why I don't text. Easier to dial 10 numbers and say what I want to say. Oh, crap .... does that mean we're old?! i'm only 23, so it just means that you are old 'Shell

...not from a rotary phone. 20-something here and here is what virtually all of my text exchanges look like: - I text someone with a question or brief statement of fact - they respond with something other than the one sentence response I was looking for - I call them - someone texts me something - I answer their question or try to respond in a way that warrants no further conversation - they text anything back - I call them But a rotary phone doesn't have to go to SPACE!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8r1CZTLk-Gk And some of us old folks have those new fangled push button calling thing-a-ma-jigs ... like on your texting apparatus ... oh wait, that's a PHONE!!!
