Hey, Hearts? We're kinda gonna need you to pick a smaller avatar - 100x100 is an acceptable size. Sorry. Now back to your regularly scheduled madcapitude.

Sorry...first time I tried this...had to work on it a bit...is the new one OK?

Puppy dog!  Aww!

I got lots of 'em.  They are awfully cute and cuddly.  This is Babette.  She's the daughter of two of my Champions (living in a wonderful home now).  Nothin' beats a Golden Retriever for makin' you feel good!

Shecky , Myyrdn & Chiro:  Thanks for the nice words...uplifting!  Meth lab had me ROTFL, Shecky!  Nice departure from working with irritable cats all day (as in herding cats...you know the drill).  ;D

Do you show your dogs, Hearts?

Yes, since 1986...just finished a championship on one of my boys this year.  ;D

My cat refuses to be herded.

No one can herd you when you don't want to be herded.  ;D

Exactly...most of them do.  Thus, a job that requires herding cats is a very tough job.  That's why I like to come home to biddable, sweet, adoring, dumb Golden Retrievers....pure love with fur!  ::) ;D

I herd Miss Demeanor Underfoot and Princess Clawdia.

They said "Mrowrrwow.  Mrow.  Murr."

My cat tells me things with his teeth.  In my hand or foot.

I have a leopard gecko and a tarantula too - they don't herd well either.

Two cats & 2 macaws....all those are rescues....and a horse....no tarantulae, bats or reptiles...tho I do like reptiles, too.  Just had to draw the line somewhere.

Talk about un-herd-ability--try a macaw...they can take your finger off with one "nip"... fortunately, I have good relationships w/my girls...
