No no - please- I welcom all suggestions. My family has always had dogs - but I realized this is the first time that I am a dog's primary care giver I am trying the slow integration of new food - the people at the shelter recommended that - I know she needs some adjustment time - I'm actually impressed by how comfortable she already seems at my place -wasn't outwardly nervous or squemish - still I know she must be very confused and may have abandonment issues - I went to the store last night leaving her for a short period- she was fine and so happy when I got back....I'm so excited to have her in my life now - she's such a sweetie |

Wow - that's odd - I house sat for some other cats (for someone who's allergic I've watched a lot of cats in my day) and they used to come home with odd stains on their fur, cuts etc...BUT these people lived out in the desert - I was always thankful that the cats came back at all and weren't eaten by coyotes But yeah - then they killed a bunny and brought me the head as a little present - freaked me out...but yeah these people refused to keep their cats indoors all the time... |

Have had previous cats hit by cars, attacked by god-only-knows-what, and shot with bbs. Yet my family still doesn't understand "Keep the cats indoors, period." |

I'm not sure about being the perfect person lol - but we'll see how it goes! For sure I already feel so much happier with a dawgie in the house and I'm so excited to go home after work and spend time with her.... We went on our first walk last night too - she's great on a leash and it was a great walk!! So - it does sound like you know a lot about dawgs - so mind if I post of PM you with any questions that may pop up?? |

I used to have an outdoor cat when I lived in the burbs, she was such a sweetie and stayed out of trouble but I always worried about her. One time she did not come home for a couple of days and I was beside myself. She had already been an outdoor cat when we got her so we let her continue that lifestyle. She was an awesome cat and nothing happened to her thank god. I asked the vet about indoor versus outdoor and he said "If you had seen what I've seen, you'd keep your cat indoors." My ex has to keep her in now where he lives and said she adjusted quite well. And of course here in Boston Mufasa stays indoors.

I also forgot to mention that I had a cat swallow a fishhook and line (a lot of people fish for crawdads in that creek and often use cut up hot dogs as bait, I can only assume he was trying to eat the hot dog). He ended up going through an exploratory surgery and over a week's worth of hospitalization and fluid therapy to the tune of over $1,000 (this was about ten years ago, so I don't even want to imagine what that would cost now). I was still in high school at the time, so that enormous bill was footed by my parents, and still they allow the cats to go outside. I have at least managed to convince them to keep the cats confined at night, which brings down the danger factor some, but not enough. |

Well...

Kinda funny, but most of the metal heads I know say Stevie "Rocks" whereas Phil Collins just "Blows goats" As for Fleetwood Mac being too "pop" I think someone needs to have a check on that lump located 2 feet above their ass, Cause Phil Collins is more "pop" (Or in his case "puke") than FM ever were. "Bang it til it bleeds..." \m/_<-_->_\m/ Brian j. ps-Hell, A few Ledgies have seen me headbangin' during "Come" at the Oklahoma City show in 2003...Ol' habits die hard

Hhhhmmm... interesting. Actually the metalhead friend I am referring to is the one that I stole my "Elmer Fudd comparison" (on another thread, don't remember which) from. Of course at the time I was rather offended by it, since I was (GASP) a Stevie fan back then. Stevie, the perfect woman? Ok. whatever. We'll agree to disagree on that one. We'll have to agree to disagree on the subject of Phil Collins as well. He is much more pop than FM (which is why I was so confused by my friend) but I like his music quite a bit. Headbanging to come? That's something I certainly have never seen anyone do. But then again, I read somewhere (don't ask me where, it's been years since I read it) that Jerry Cantrell of AIC has listed LB as an influence, so what the heck? I certainly didn't get the urge to headbang during that song, but the friend who went with me still insists that I had an orgasm during it. |

And let me just add that coming home to someone who is SOOO happy to see you is awesome lol...
I got home from work and Clancy was beside herself excited....then I got her leash and she literally started jumping up and down - it was the cutest thing ever... Unfortunately she seems to have gotten sick to her stomach today - nerves I guess She hasn't eaten much even though I kept the same food she ate at the pound...it's Science Diet Anyway - I'm loving this - she's so friendly and cudly |
