He may be blocked again. Hopefully they will mess up again and he will be able to get through to us for a quick post.

Right you are, amigos. I am home again for a little R&R visit, though, and no 'net filters on my home network!
Not sure how much I'll be posting, but wanted to check in and see whats up here, Mrs Biscuit is keeping me busy with fixing broken stuff. She has a very persuasive way of asking

.

I can't believe I have to go back. Ick!

Hope your flops are all great!

Welcome back Biscuit.

Looks like I just missed you on here.

I know the feeling about the Mrs. having things to be fixed.
I still have a water facet assembly to put in, a 15 or 20 minute job tops, but have yet to put it in.

Sitting by a pc all day will make a person lazy.

We even have an ocational spat over who is to get the mail.

Good to see you back Biscuit.

p.s. if you notice in some of my posts of late; I do well on the flop, but that damn river card gets me about 90% of the time.

Welcome Back Biscuit!

The trip back was no fun. 34 hours from Djibouti>>Addis Ababa>>Paris>>Washington>>home. Going back is worse.

Off to fix the gate latch. Apparently my dogs have been letting themselves out for strolls about town.

Good thing you don't have a pack of wild dogs to worry about around your homestead.

We had a small pack of wild dogs around here for a few years, until our Husky mix grew up, and then we didn't see them for a long while.

One day our Husky, his name was Bear because he looked like one, he chased a bus and that was his last day on this earth.

Well, to make a long story short. Those wild dogs returned a few months later.
It looked like one was missing and a couple younger dogs joined the pack.

I bet that latch wasn't too hard to fix. I've also got a gate support that needs tended to, when I get to it.

It's still good to see you on here Biscuit.

Uh Dyno, so sorry to hear about your dog, thats just to sad.

I have never seen a wild pack of dogs, only on animal planet, and its amazing to me just how smart they are and how good the work together, its amazing.

I hope both of your Independence Day's were fun and filled with family and BEERS! lol

Bisquit, hope you get to stay around longer with your family, sounds like your dogs need to be taken out on the town before you go back, so they don't feel the need to sneak out! LOL

When I read the part you wrote catwoman, about taking the dogs out on the town, all I could vision was the picture of the gambling dogs.

Yeah, our dog being run over was a sad and sadistic day.
I kept in my feelings to be strong for our children. Our oldest son struck out blaming his sister for not being on the bus, our youngest son was all tears, and when our daughter came home she shut herself off in her room for a few days.

We all had our ways to deal with it, but it passed.
That day still brings tears to our eyes when we talk about it.

Bear was my buddy. I would go out to have a smoke and talk to him, scratch his big furry neck, and he would just lick me and listen.
He also followed me around the yard when I mowed, to protect his master.
Many memories with a dog we had for just a couple years.

God i love animals and i can feel your pain still when remembering your baby. What type of dog was he? what was his name? did you shoot the person who ran him over??

I had a beautiful Collie that i had for 13 years and 3 years ago i had to put her down because she had lost half her weight and i was told she had cancer, and dementia. She was almost to the point were she didn't recognize us anymore and that was heart breaking because she loved us all so much, the best damn dog i ever had and i still cry now when i think about the day i had to let her go, watching her and saying good bye while holding her in the vets office....so sad.

Having young children had to of been horrible to deal with. your pet is part of the family and children don't understand....why?..

Dyno_Don · 07-09-2009, 08:00 AM

I'm sorry for your loss too catwoman. Dogs are a man's and a woman's best friend.

Bear was our dog's name, and the School Bus ran over him while he was chasing it.
I'm just glad he died quickly. I hate to see animal suffer.
