**Superdude** – It’s not Lassie…

It’s [Halvsie, the two-legged dog](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=51807&highlight=Halvsie) to the rescue!

**Crunchy** , I can’t believe I forgot about **Halvsie**. I bow to you.

**Zappo** , you know, I thought about doing that same thing. But I couldn’t spell “Sibilance.”

Well hello GBS, and welcome back. We’ve missed you. Got a lot of newbies on the board, ignore them. They won’t know who you are. Hope all is well with you.

Hi GBS!!

I have missed you!

I have thought about e-mailing you a few times.

Yet, Procrastination has blindsided me every time.  
For that I ask for forgivness.

Glad your back!

Hey Shayna!!! Good to hear from you… I hope that you are keeping everyone in line 😉

Osip!!! my long time friend and buddy… I hope all is well with you. I’ve had my fingers crossed that, that sweet heart of yours would find that special mate…

Wicked Blue… Hello to you, and I really like the name…

Gosh, it’s good to see some of the gang… And yes… we were like family…

_HELLO!!!_ Gee, I’ve missed you, **GBS**. So glad to see you here again. I hope all is still well with you.

Ignore the newbies, they know not who they trifle with. 😉

I sure hope we see more of you around these parts. And what weird parts they are, indeed. This will take getting used to, for sure. Take care, hon, and glad you’re back.

Have you seen the Animal Planet Channel? They have video clips of a dog who had his right front and rear legs amputated after being hit by a car as a pup. The dog learned to run!!! They show him bouncing around, chasing after a ball. It’s freaky lookin’, but the dog gets around really well. pretty quick too!  
Just thought I’d share…

wow…I remember you…or, at least, I remember your picture from the People Pages…politically incorrect to say you’re a hottie?

Welcome home. You’ve been missed.

poohpah chalupa… nice to meet you… thank you for the kind words… if you read father, you will see that I was once voted as the shy one on the board… so with my southern cheeks slightly red, I say thank you…

tater!!! Hello!!! so good to see you. My long time buddy and sweet friend that has sent many beautiful postcards from a land so far away. Big hugs and kisses. I’m so very happy for you!!! My daughter is doing well, thank you for asking. You take good care of yourself and keep us posted. I know your baby will be as beautiful as you are. Take care my friend…
