    When does he need them by?
    I'm doing a road trip in the states for my honeymoon end of August and begining of September, I'll probably hit 5-6 states, plus two provinces, if he's interested.

    I'm all over the place. Just somehow or other keep a tally of what you have and I can try to get the rest. Well, okay, Alaska and Hawaii are a little out of my range. I don't have pontoons and a propeller, nor do I have a dog harness and skis on my truck. But I can help with the Lower 48! I just don't want to duplicate anyone else's efforts.

    Cheers!

    What a fabulous idea/teaching tool. I remember when I was 8 and my parents told us we were moving to Ohio and I had absolutely no idea where that was. I also remember that one of my teachers incorporated it into a lesson not to long after that (Gee, were my parents involved?). Everyone in the class then knew where Ohio was. That was nearly 40 years ago and I still remember.

    I will see if I can find something generic to Ohio, mostly, around here, the postcards tend towards the Wright brothers and the invention of the airplane. Or would that be o.k.?

    Also, to ask Knipper's question again…when does he need them by?

    And, btw, check out the "where's AJ" threads - if DH is stumped for a fact or trivia about a place, I'd say she's a 'go to' poster.

    Hi! AJ's Human!

    Quick question – would you prefer the postcards stamped and addressed, or placed in an envelope and then sent, especially if they're blank?

    You may also want to consider looking at http://www.postcrossing.com. It's an international project, but if the 50 States idea is successful, DH may want to branch out. There's also a forum there where one can post specific requests. I used to send/receive a lot of postcards on that site… =)

    Thanks everyone! School starts early September, so anytime between now and then would be great…but really anytime by the end of September works.
    So...Knipper, if you don't mind and it's not too much trouble, that would be great! Sounds like a fun road trip...we usually take one in the summers too, but had a baby in January, and I'm not quite up for a long road trip with a basenji and a 6 mo old yet...maybe next year!
    And AJ's human, thank you for your offer! I'll tell him to keep track, and we definitely will let you know if we are missing any...I do enjoy reading your Where's AJ posts, and I actually thought of you when I posted this...
    BART...any kind of post card is fine, so send whatever is easiest :)
    Curlytails...thanks for the website, I passed it on to him, so hopefully he'll check it out. YOu can send the post cards any way you want, just blank and alone, or filled out, or blank in an envelope...whatever is easiest...he's flexible and just appreciates people helping out!!
    Thanks again everyone, and anyone else who is willing to help, we appreciate it so much!

    North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Arizona, Idaho, Montana, Colorado, Nevada, and Utah coming at you. Apparently in Farmington, New Mexico, asking for a postcard gets you looked at funny, laughed at a little, and sent to the drug store…
    Sorry it took so long, everything has been on end since the wedding, honeymoon, and Blaze's passing.

    Does anyone know how the project went? It was supposed to be for mid-September?

    Thank you for updating!! Please still send them if you can, DH's project is going well, I'm not sure how many he has, but I know more will always be appreciated, if not this year, for next year. I know he didn't get as many as he had hoped, so it's great if you can still send them!
    I am sorry to hear about your loss, since having a baby and starting school again, I haven't been on here nearly as much as I wish I could be, everything is so busy…but it's a good busy so I can't complain :)

    How to help neglected dogs

    I know how you feel. It's horrible to live close to animal neglect. My new next-door neighbors leave their two dogs out 24/7– heat, rain, snow, lightning storm. They have a big fenced yard, but almost no shade. Of course, the dogs bark non-stop. There's no talking to people like that-- I've already been told to mind my own business. Maybe your neighbor will take you up on your offer... but probably not. It's sad.

    @BasenjiDiva: Maybe a sheet of plywood to cover the door? (We put our dogs in wire crates when we leave the house and while they tolerate them when we gone, they cry loudly when they know we are around. I don't think we could entertain guests with their dramatics going on. :eek: ) While our dogs like and tolerate our little grandsons, there are times I feel like they need to be separated. Then I put high baby gates up to secure the dogs in the kitchen. Is that possible in your home? It is a bit of a hassle for people to go in and out of the kitchen but it is very doable and beats the alternative. And the dogs can see what's going on. Pat We have this problem with Querk too. He is almost never crated, except when we have a big group of people over. What we have done that works is put his crate in a room as far away from the gathering place as possible, and close the door…and let him cry it out. He usually quiets down after he realizes that he is in for the duration of the party. He will start up again if he hears someone. I have been known to put his crate in the van too, if the weather is cooperative.

    IM so sorry for your loss … it almost sounds like feline leukemia or feline aids... we had 2 litter mates die from it... And the symtoms you describe sound all to familar ... You might contact your vet and ask questions... If you have other cats, this is a highly contagious desease.
