    Yep, I hate those days! The broken chair after a fall on walk is definitely a bad way to start the day. Hoping the rest of the day was OK.

    Sorry you fell but am gald your ok well ok all but the knees. The chair I had to laugh just gald you were not hurt.
    I hope this can make you laugh.
    Have a friend in army both her and her husband. She was gone overseas for a year and got home in time to go to some big to do thing for her husband. She went out put her two dogs in the truck had forgot her purse went back into the house and came back and well keys in truck and dogs had locked the doors. She called the base right away tried to get Ryan but they said he was busy so she called the toyota dealership and ask which window was the cheapest to replace. Well you all ready know rest of the story she broke out the window. At least you did wait on your husband. Have a great weekend.

    Yes, I can laugh. It actually struck me as very funny as I was staring at the ceiling. And while I was laying laughing about my chair having broke Nicky was shredding the judging program for this weekend's show. His way of telling me that he didn't appreciate the short walk.

    In the UK we call it Sod’s law, also know as Murphy’s law. If anything can go wrong, it will.

    I had one memorable one years ago, My Basenjis decided to make her own way home while out on a walk, and instead of going under a bridge and avoiding the traffic she choose to go over it and through the traffic!

    Needless to say she had been run over for the second time in her life and was in need of veterinary help, so I jumped in the car and turned the key, the engine momentarily tuned over and came to an abrupt stop, the cam belt had broken. Why now of all times!

    So at great expense a veterinary ambulance was called, the next day she was right as rain with just a few stitches to show for the ordeal.

    I'm so glad your girl was okay though your pocketbook was quite a bit lighter.

    LOL– anything is teethworthy from the Basenji perspective! Just like you buy them a basket full of toys and their favorite is the empty spaghetti box "found" in the trash.

    That sounds like a scarey experience, so glad things have turned out ok. Thats a good tip re the benedryl. I had an afghan hound once that swelled up and looked like a bloodhound! He had lumps all along his back too, the vet thought that it was a reaction to a sting, we never did know what caused it, it didn't ever happen again.

    The only Linus reference I know of is Linus Schlumpberger (sp?) who runs the Operations at UPS. Yes, an entire wheel can be lost. It is the driver's responsibility to check lug nuts and look behind the wheels to be sure everything looks good. I was on I-15 in Utah a few years ago and saw two tires, still attached to each other in the median. About half a mile further, there was a truck sitting with a bare axle end. Also, some very few drivers carry their spare tire pre-mounted on a wheel. This may have been the case and the driver lost it off his catwalk.

    I found this formula in a "household tips" book by a guy named Haley. 1 gallon water 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper 1/4 cup Tabasco sauce mix and spray affected area - i.e. the top of the fence I had a Sheltie next door that used my side yard for a bathroom constantly. Bad enough to have to pick up after my own dog before grass-cutting let alone the neighbor's too. A different neighbor told me that the Sheltie had been trained to do that B4 I bought the house. Anyway, it worked great!! I just used a regular watering can to put it down rather than buy a sprayer. It didn't effect the grass at all and, according to the book, should work on a multitude of "lawn loiterers". 666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666 Sorry, Arleigh just decided he'd put in his "2 cents" but I guess he's adjusting for inflation!! Should've hit "submit" B4 I put the keyboard down, it's a cordless and we're sitting on the couch together!!:D

    How sad, especialy for her children. It's heartwarming to see people do something for others. Usualy we hear such bad things that people have done to each other.:(

    Thank you Wizard, I did 11 years in the Navy (9 years active, 2 years in the reserve) and DH is still in. We went to Arlington Cemetery this weekend and it is something I think everyone should do if they get the chance, there are so many buried there that have sacrificed for our country. I was honored to have served.
