Very nice presentation. Looks like you're enjoying this job - looks fun! Congratulations!

Nothing but a baby is cutier than a Basenji, Big or Small!!!! Hands Down!!!!!

I'm guessing that puppy was still getting out, and the owner had no clue how, so they set up a camera while they were out. We did it with Blaze when we couldn't figure out how he was still getting to the garbage with the can in the sink. Turns out he moved a chair over there, picked out his choice pieces and moved the chair back… too smart in all the wrong ways...

Thankfully, this one is going to miss us! I hope you were as lucky…the snow is up to my knees in the yard though. We've had snow on the ground through the first week in May on occasion! Yikes!

@Schouiffy: Well, my pics are not uploaded quite yet.. but I have a Paso Fino mare I keep out by Stanford, and I had a half Arabian half Hanoverian as my jumping sport horse. =) I'm a major sucker for the Arabians.. =) Ooooh! I can't wait for the pictures. We had a half-Arab growing up - he was a handful! Beautiful, a bit high strung, very fun to ride. But he was so sweet - he turned to "mush" when we put a child on him. He really knew…I have very fond memories of him.

my dogs also do that. I think Gromit can find out which cream you are using by the taste of it. Regards, Esther

I have 4 cats. Pic of all 4 on top of my computer desk [image: 4cats_on_bookcase2_sept08.jpg] (L-R Moxie, Tuk, Gypsy, Sherman) Free cats if anyone wants one! lol!

California is a very strict place for pets!! I have parrots, and have a friend in America who was going to relocate to California but couldnt because one of the parrots she owns is illegal in that state!! Apparently not in any other, just California. Very strange!!

Thanks all! I guess i do have a think for wrinkles and curly tails lol! And Pugs are definately either a love or hate dog. I personally think they're gorgeous, like adorable like monkeys!! Im sure we'll be able to encourage Maya into the water eventually! lol Pugs are supposed to hate water but both of mine jump right in!!

No basenjis, all small "toy" breed and so called designer dogs.

@Tayda_Lenny: i like all things Basenji!!! Haha well that's awesome! I'm decking out my b w all ohio state stuff :) Name too haha.

That was great!

@renaultf1: That is interesting, because the people I know who have gas stoves have to push the knob in, then turn it to a certain point in order for it to first bleed gas…then there is a pop, pop, pop noise indicating the gas is coming out and then just past that the flame lights. that's how ours is. We have a toddler in the house, so most often we just pull the knobs off and keep them up high, near the stove. this way they can't accidently be turned on.

I am just loving these responses from my husband's post!!!:D:D ROFL at the thought of him running through the house with the TP!:eek: I guess I should maybe pay a little bit more attention to him.;) That wine and Barry White music could maybe convince me to notice him more…:o

Vinegar and water is good on any surface that I have used it on over the years… and I think safe for any surface/material.... When I have puppies, I keep a spray bottle of 1/2 and 1/2.... then when I had all elders in the house maybe 1/3 vinegar and 2/3 water.. I would start out with warm water, but since I just left the bottle sitting around.. it was really room temp. I found that the elders pee was much less concentrated then the pups.. so lots less smell... however puppy pee is way smaller in size... ggg

Where does your friend live? I do happen to have Portuguese Podengos and the big size HOWEVER I also have the only 2 in the US that are registered. I imported them directly from Portugal. That said - there is a guy in CA that has a few hunting stock not from Portugal but from the Azores - I have asked him for a picture as he also says they are Podengos - but didn't happen. The Podengo has a much narrower muzzle than this dog and does NOT have anything close to wrinkles on their forehead and their ears are up. A bit heavier than the Ibizan but same overall look. I would wonder about a Beezer and ridgeback or lab. And of course if you want to be bored with Podengo pictures go to my website that is under my name and click on the Podengo page.
