going back to the OP: Halvsie climbs up the ladder towards the burned out light bulb, slips, falls to the ground, and runs around like Curley for 30 minutes… This offering comes from my daughter who demanded that I give her credit for it. She’s rather taken with “that Crunchy guy” 😃 ---

Fairymom- too funny, I wish I had remembered Halvsie Border Collie mix - Um…I think they need to be in a circle RIGHT NOW…no wait…maybe a square…but definatly some shape this instant. MY Minature Pinscher(sp?) who violates all breed standards - What’s a light bulb, wake me when there’s food involved. ---

According to them I’m a St. Bernard, but I refuse to sign up to find out why. Interestingly, my Father used to tell me I was named after a famous St. Bernard. (Well, okay, maybe it’s not **that** interesting.) ---
