I’m recent to this thread (and recent to these boards, for that matter…) I would venture to say this is less of a thread and more a FORUM of friends!
Yes. It’s part of the grooming standard for many dogs, including Bichons. (trained as dog groomer, long ago…but, I’m still not bathing Wyatt. Besides, he seems to enjoy it when Dreamer bathes him. And, who could blame him?)
Nice! Do you kiss your Munchkin with that mouth?
I suppose you’re pissed because I haven’t divulged all the intimate details of my life, yes? Sorry. I been busy. It takes a lot of time and energy to get so many people so upset with me at one time. It takes a rare combination of innate talent, native cunning, and abject stupidity, too. It’s not every guy who can piss off three women simultaneously. But, sorry to disappoint, but I’m still not telling all. This is too real, unlike Theresa, and too personal. Suffice it to say, one is now happy with me, again. One seems to be on her way back to being happy with me, and one seems to be headed out of my life, unfortunately.
So, no, I haven’t abandoned anyone. Just really busy and unable to keep up. Sorry, folks.
Poor Wyatt is sick sweetie…
Davebear, we miss you…we ladies will be waiting in the hottub when you return!

ROFL!!! rolling… laughing… OH, my belly hurts from laughing… OMG!.. still laughing!!!
That is the funniest thing, in 34 pages, in 1,662 replies, in 22,533 views that I have seen!
Like the Hendrix song… Still Rolling, Still Laughing.
You non-Hendrix fans don’t even know how funny that was…
Eh, he swiped it. Don’t be too impressed, 6. His best stuff is ghosted.
Well, as Uncle Miltie said, there are only about 6 good, original jokes. Everything else is just a variation.
tanookie, I’m sorry I snapped at you. I’m just a wee bit stressed, myself; something I’m sure you can relate to, at the moment. So, here’s your morning update. One woman has, indeed, dropped out of my life. One, the one I thought was happy with me, is not as happy with me as I thought. And the third, the lady of the weekend, whom I thought was becoming happy with me, again, may not be. The last communication from her was not so nice. So, one right, one wrong, and one I dunno.
Hey we’re all stressed around here…
I wasn’t really upset that you hadn’t divulged … just worried that you’d dropped off the face of the planet! I certainly understand busy and that some stuff simply is not board worthy. shrug
No worries… Just happy you ain’t face down in a gutter someplace is all…
No. Not yet, anyway.
OMFG
All, mipiace just sent me a couple of pictures. She is stunning- she looks exactly like 1960s Faye Dunaway. Unreal cheekbones- long wavy hair- wow.
tanookie, I am worried about you. How close are you and the family to the coast?
According to the last forecast the hurricaine will go too far inland by the time it gets north enough to affect us 
We’re an hour from the water I think… not too coastal.
Thanks for the thoughts though!
Of all the pics on our website I don’t think any of them are of me 
You can see my really cute kid and some wonderful animal pics though! (www.kaczorzoo.net)
Oh, tanookie - me too. My house looks just like that. Everyone in my house that wears fur or feathers is a rescue- (all spayed and neutered of course) and I also house any livestock that gets turned into our city shelter. I have 5 plain, ugly, but grateful cats- Gryphon the St Bernard- 4 ducks, and one mean donkey that no one wants, and 2 fully loaded 120 gallon fish tanks.
Cara is precious- grinning in every picture. You made a very pretty child- are those dimples? And Alex is a Very Good Dog for getting along with the cats so well. Mr Whipple is also suffering from toocuteness. You mentioned earlier that you weren’t working- when did you make those incredible cakes? The wedding cake is perfection-
My kids, when I have them (theraputic foster home for teenagers) are nearly as ugly as my rescued pets. Pierced, tattooed, and equipped with foul attitudes. Full of angst, poetry, loud music and skateboards. But they are so creative and so much fun- I have even begun to see beauty in thier tattoos and piercings and happily color thier hair with kool-aid.
hi guys…
Rocky - Thanks as always for y our words of wisdom. I think I fall more in love with you all the time. Just wait 'till your birthday young man, I may have to show you how pleased I am with you.
Psalex - Thanks…that was sweet. Those are kind of old photos. I’ll see what I can do to get Studmuffin to take a couple of recent ones. My hair is longer now but the rest is pretty much the same.
If6was9 - I think you actually hit the nail on the head more than I’d like to admit! MEN! Always lookin for the best deal and they don’t 'realize THEY HAVE the best deal. [shakes her head…} Who else is going to put up with him? {shakes her hand in a verrry Italian manner}
Dave…honey, I want to just give you a big hug. To start with, I’m sorry for hijacking your hijack . But I’m sorry for all the ups and down and sideways…dating is is a big rollercoaster isn’t it. IF we lived closer, I’d take you out to lunch and we could just bitch about it together. Oh well, all I can say is there are good times and not so good times…we care though.
Tanookie…how long 'til they induce?
I made most of those cakes at home… the only ones I did when I was working that I have pictures of are the airbrushed ones.
I want an airbrush machine for home!!!
You can color hair with koolaid? I’ve always wondered what I would look like with blue hair!
The kid is pretty cute thanks … I think we are in big trouble going into those teen years!
Oh and not having the shelter to volunteer at has certainly slowed the accumulation of non humans to the household! We had fish but then we also had algae that we simply couldn’t get rid of 
Shoulda previewed
Oct 28 is surgery day! I cannot wait to meet my little boy!
We have an appointment tomorrow for a general check and measurement and non stress test.
It’s a boy? Why did I think you were having a girl all this time? DOI! Well congrats on your boy!!! ANyway…I have fish and I just get algae eaters and keep the light down and it helps a lot. IS your tank in a really lighted room? That is probably your problem with the algae.
That’s right…a Halloween baby…not much longer now Mamacita…
And yeah, I’ve colored my kids hair with koolaid for Halloween b/c it comes out easy.
Yeah our old house had no place that wasn’t brightly lit…
Our apartment had a lovely drab den that we were able to keep dark a lot!
The new house suffers from no space for fish since there’s another human coming and now we need to either expand the house or move syndrome!
Yup a boy One of each… we’ll be that annoyingly cute family everyone likes to pick on … a little girl and boy and mom at home making cookies and dad working in his ‘office’ (what once was my living room) Ready all … AWWWWWWWWWWW
Okay, mipiace, you have a fan club. co-workers Rob and Amy were looking over my shoulder when I pulled up your pics. I said “Faye Dunaway” and Amy ran over to a friend’s desk and brought back publicity photos from Bonnie and Clyde. Luckily the guy who sits at that desk (who apparently plays Faye in drag at one of the local clubs) is not here today or you would be bombarded with compliments. Amy says “rowr” and Rob would like to see you pose with one eyebrow raised and chin up. He is recreating the pose as I write this- leaning on my desk and sucking his cheeks in. As he is newly married, I will slap his hand when I complete this post.
tanookie, you should invest in an airbrush machine. If you could find the time to bake at home and still devote enough time to the toddlers and furry children, you could make lots of money doing wedding cakes. You are very talented. Oh, and Kool-aid does not wash out as easily as one might hope- I had to escort my last little sweetie to court with greenish blond hair. And I am guilty of dying it for him.
Halloween baby! Does he have a tiny costume yet? And what is his name?
Well tell Rob I will see what i can do about recreating the classic pose when I get the muffin to photograph me this weekend. LOL You are going to make my head swell and I really don’t need that!!
I’ve been seriously considering baking from home… After baby comes and things settle in a bit the local community college has a seminar on starting home businesses…
Oh and the boy will be a tiny lion and the girl a little devil I promise there will be photos!
