What was with Angelina Jolie's gaunt white leg sticking out her dress while hard-posing at the Oscars? I can understand why those fellows chucked off at her.

So tired of rich people with addictions.

It's March! Summer is just around the corner. %$%#@%%@#$!

Subject: Re: Say something random about you (Part 5) Sat Mar 03, 2012 9:46 am

I'm here, I've just been busy. The work week was rough this week.

Random: I'm watching Hillbilly Handfishing on The Animal Planet.

Subject: Re: Say something random about you (Part 5) Sat Mar 03, 2012 1:47 pm

I saw that once. I'm surprised no one got bitten by snakes or spiked by catfish fins.

Subject: Re: Say something random about you (Part 5) Sat Mar 03, 2012 6:27 pm

So rough that it reduced you to watching a fishing show, DK? Eek!

A passion for fishing has always eluded me. I understand that part of it is the quiet time on the water and that's fine. It's the handling and touching of the wet, wriggling thing that you've just yanked out of its safe haven that I have an issue with. My food needs to be faceless. I'm a coward like that. Rolling Eyes

Julie, you don't like being addicted to us??? Laughing

Random:

I am now the owner of two beagle boys aged under three years, much to my mother's (sometimes not so) quiet dismay. They have taken a little while to sort out some jealousy issues but yesterday, as I was working in the yard, both boys chased each other jostling for possession of a fluffy toy and did so without snarls, etc.

Today's agenda includes a visit to a friend in hospital, quick turn at work, weeding/mowing, an afternoon nap and a loooooong walk. Sunday's are usually good days.

Subject: Re: Say something random about you (Part 5) Sat Mar 03, 2012 7:20 pm

Well, it isn't as though there's much to watch this time of year but re-runs, nature shows, sports, cooking or supernatural type shows---Me? I watch the spooky ones.

Random:

I'm just glad to stick my nose out without a tornado blowing it off.

Subject: Re: Say something random about you (Part 5) Sun Mar 04, 2012 1:33 pm

Sharabella, I'm glad you didn't get blown away.

Nay, that particular fishing show involves all the people, a dozen or so, getting into the waist-deep water and feeling in holes and brushes for fish, then grabbing said fish with bare hands. Sometimes they lie down and use bodies and legs to form barriers to trap fish then grab said fish with bare hands. It is very funny to watch prissy or scaredypeople try or try not to touch fish, or water, or mud, etc.

The novelty wore off for me in a show and a half.

We lose an hour next Sunday. Blah

Heck, that would be amusing. Not to do, of course; just to watch the idiots. Laughing

Shar, are you in a tornado corridor? I saw the absolute destruction in poor Kentucky on this morning's news. Dear God, that looked awful.

Random:

We are in for heavy rain and thunderstorms here tonight and tomorrow. The boys stayed inside because it was due to start today and as you can imagine greeted me in a frenzy from being cooped up all day. Jordy is currently frolicking with one of Bud's toys at my feet as Bud gets his monthly wash/blow dry. He is such a happy boy and they have really bonded as brothers. I couldn't ask for more.

Julie, do you know anything about show dogs?

Subject: Re: Say something random about you (Part 5) Mon Mar 05, 2012 10:29 am

I am indeed. Luckily (at least for me) I live in the western end of Kentucky and most of the storms went a few miles north of my town, though 4 or 5 tornadoes were spotted in the county. The church that was shown in ruins was the church my boss's family attends. It was a scary week, and I have a feeling that the summer is going to be a stormy one. My heart goes out to those poor people who's lives are changed forever.

Glad to hear how well the boys are getting along.

Subject: Re: Say something random about you (Part 5) Mon Mar 05, 2012 12:16 pm

Show dogs? I'm a cat person!

I've watch some dog show shows on TV. Those dogs are highly groomed and trained, and so are the people showing the dogs. Are you planning on showing yours? You'd have to dress up nicely and run with the dogs, and train the dogs. I don't think frolicking with bras is part of the show. Standing still a lot is.

Subject: Re: Say something random about you (Part 5) Mon Mar 05, 2012 4:34 pm

Shar, please stay safe. Don't go to work unless everything is clear and make sure someone knows your movements at all times. Take care.

Oh Julie, that there were a bra stealing and twirling section to a Dog Show! Imagine the audience reaction - men would be unhooking their wives and tossing them around like a Hooters Bar. My boys would win comfortably in this section. Say something random about you (Part 5) - Page 17 646968

Rather - I meant Jordy has been trained to stand in a stack position with his back legs firmly planted away from his body. This stance is interfering with him sitting. I want him to sit to receive his treats from me, not stand like this. Any advice would be gratefully accepted.

Random:

Now the weather experts are talking of a cyclone forming off the coast of southern Queensland. That is very late in the season but the tropical low is slowly shifting north-east so it may drift out to sea. Fingers crossed.

I've seen my in-laws try to teach their dogs to sit by firmly saying Sit, then pushing down, and/or patting, on the dogs' rumps until they fold their hind legs and put butts on the ground.

You could bring out treats, which would of course summon them to you. First tell Buddy to sit and praise & treat him if he does, then do the same with Jordy, including the rump pushing/patting if needed. No treat for him if he doesn't sit. Maybe he'll imitate Bud eventually.

I'm assuming the command to stand stack isn't Sit.

Done all of this multiple times when training Bud and then with Jordy's arrival. It hasn't worked.

LegoJulie wrote:: I'm assuming the command to stand stack isn't Sit.

This is my next step. I have been advised to ask his owner/trainer if she uses hand signals for sit, stand, walk etc which might explain why he doesn't listen to me. As he is an ex-show dog, anything is possible I suppose.

Gee Julie, you gave good advice for a 'cat person'. I say that while holding my fingers in an anti-christ cross position. Laughing

Good to see you around, Emily. Are you happy living back in the Big Easy?

Random:

I've just watched the short for 'The Raven', a story of Edgar Allen Poe with John Cusack in the lead role. Looks good.

Subject: Re: Say something random about you (Part 5) Wed Mar 07, 2012 7:53 am

If you had a cat, you wouldn't have this problem to begin with. A cat ain't gonna stand if a cat don't wanna stand. You'd never have to teach it to sit. Heck, the cat would go one step further and put all four paws underneath and LIE down.

Random: Anyone know how to connect a Kindle wi-fi to your T-Mobile account? I'm supposed to be able to do it but I haven't figured it out yet. I guess I'll take it up to the T-Mobile store and ask them.

Subject: Re: Say something random about you (Part 5) Wed Mar 07, 2012 9:35 am

You don't train cats. Cats condescend to train their poor, dumb humans, because they feel sorry for us not being able to figure out a routine for ourselves.

Hubby does all my electronics. I don't know squat anymore.

I'm enjoying doing jigsaw puzzles. I haven't done them in years. So nice and relaxing, and gives me a false sense of accomplishment.

Subject: Re: Say something random about you (Part 5) Thu Mar 08, 2012 7:20 am

I love doing jigsaw puzzles too. Unfortunately, when I try to do them the cats want to walk all over them and play with the loose pieces.

Random: I figured out the T-Mobile/Kindle thingy. Well, actually the nice lady at the T-Mobile store did. I had to get the device that goes with it. Fortunately, it didn't cost me anything because I'm a customer.

Subject: Re: Say something random about you (Part 5) Thu Mar 08, 2012 11:46 am

Ugh. Seems every interface has to have a piece of hardware. Too many pieces.

Next time you do jigsaw puzzles, throw some catnip toys in the other side of the room.

I saw an article with pictures of some towns in New South Wales covered in spider webs. Here are pictures, more than enough to cause arachnophobia.

Not a spider person, DK? Julie, NSW has really had an awful week. Parts of Queensland have flooded too but nowhere near that extent.

Random:

T.G.I.F!!!

This afternoon, I walked out of the bottle shop with a French white, an Italian red and an Australian beer.

They weren't all for me. drunken

Subject: Re: Say something random about you (Part 5) Fri Mar 09, 2012 7:49 am

Nope, I am a total arachnaphobiac. *shudders*

Nay, you're going to drink the two bottles of wine and give the beer to someone else...right? Smile

Random: I can't think of anything random to say.

Subject: Re: Say something random about you (Part 5) Fri Mar 09, 2012 9:44 am

DK, stop buying more stuff.

Don't Foster's come in 20 gal. cans?

It does?

I might call that a keg.

Random: It's Friday night and I'm in the Malbec. Yum.
