@Benkura:

I have just seen on another thread that the diesel price 'over the pond' is approx $4 a gallon. WOW!!!!

I was the one who mentioned that.

I should have clarified that the almost $4 per gallon for diesel is in Arizona…and Arizona has cheaper fuel than some other states (but more expensive than others). Even within the same state, or within the same city, you can find wide variances in prices. Diesel is well over $4 in some places (like California, for instance), but where we are, we can get it for about $3.829 per US gallon. When we return to Spokane this spring, we'll be paying more...the cheapest diesel in the Spokane area appears to currently be $3.909, but at most stations, it's well over $4.00.

LOL Anne, in my home town, the ONLY Jewish family owned Brooks clothing store. That was over 50 yrs ago. A couple of more families moved in when I was in high school, not in the clothing business.\

And yeah, Leora often has to explain, NO we really do NOT celebrate Christmas or Easter.

I hope you were able to get some help…
I am leaving OZ tomorrow to get back to the real life.
Best of luck to these little ones.

Hi IMBJ, I'm not in Japan but my son & grandsons live in the Bay Area and he has a friend who teaches in Tokyo. No word yet from her. I'm glad so glad the tsunami spared SF. I hope you and your B are okay!

What a great place! You are lucky to have such a great place so nearby.

Belinda, I forgot to mention how happy I was to see your post this morning. We have missed you and AJ!

Do not forget about us. We love seeing you here.

most ppl here think suki is min pin or a rat terrier?!?

although a guy honked at suki and i at a stop light yesterday and motioned for me to roll down my window - he wanted to know if suki was a basenji and if they really don't bark!

But Bowpi LIKES being under the blankets…

I have these…

I loved this story when I saw it. It reminded me of this white cat that used to live near us years ago. We would buy catnip toys (one particular one) for our cats, and this cat would come into our place and take them. We were forever replacing them. By chance we finally met the owner and found out that white cat (we called him Thiefy) had a huge stash of these toys and that the lady never knew where he got them from.

@nobarkus:

I drop one of these little probiotic pearls in Buddy's food 1x per day. He rarely ever has gas.

Dan, palm oil isn't the best for humans. Is it different for dogs? I know dogs digest many things differently.

So pleased that Megan is getting slowly better but what a shame about Dougie -mind you he is a good age for a BC and he's had a lovely life with you. I do hope he does improve though and that you can have him for a bit longer.

Shelley, I bet Jerry never selects to watch The Dog Whisperer.

I love all kinds of music- I do like hip-hop, I used to dance with Joe Tremaine Dance Co., so anything you can dance to works for me- but I cannot handle the hard rap stuff! I have a friend who's in a pretty good band out here in Discovery Bay. The band is called Sagacious Past- if you get a chance, check them out on YouTube. They're a metal band.

Oh Rita Jean - that is truely awful, just tragic. I would never have thought sledding could be that dangerous.

wow, very cool..looks almost a little like deer to me on the ears and face..

Stanley sure is green! When I saw your title, my first thought was of a restaurant close to us which is named the Green Iguana - you can take your dogs there on the outdoor patio, so I thought - "Wow" In England too??? Wierd how our minds work….. anyway, cute iguana.

This is so funny. I am reading here at work it was a challenge to contain my laughter from my co-workers. What a memoriable Thanksgiving.
