no worries, i am sure he will poop and pee on my new wall to wall carpeting downstairs, where he has not even been permitted to set paw yet, by edict of xshub.

arghy, i must tell you of a breakthrough. i picked up xsbrownie from her early dismissal on Monday and took her home, i was preceded there by xshub who came to let in the carpet cleaning people. he was standing outside with xs2pup. he had LET HIM OUT to pee. it was the very first time he has ever done anything for either dog!

[xsmommy]

cough them up....

Flurry has pictures of his vasectomy? Damn, I should have had my hubby to get some taken of his, but it completely slipped my mind. There was a DJ on the classic rock station here who had his done live on the radio from a doctor's office, with his wife doing the rest of their morning show from the radio station. It was a scream-I was driving to work listening to it and nearly lost control of my truck several times I was laughing so hard.

[xsmommy]

i know what you mean. my rock radio station often has me doing the same thing, like the time they had the live, in studio, sex toy party.

[CSM]

I don't see anything funny about sharp objects in a man's groinal areas!

[Argh]

Good Grief! He probably figured with you out, he'd have to clean up the mess.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Laura Earl has the pic's

[Robert A Cook PE]

"cough them up.... "

Does Laura know you, ah, er, uhm, ... are giving Flurry's annular exams in public now?

[xsmommy]

are you using the pix to create an xtra special XS? ; )

[xsmommy]

what the HECK is an annular exam????

[Conspiracy Guy]

Vasectomy's are simple. Whenever someone whines about their's I label them Nancy Boys.

[Texan5]

You are probably quite correct. That is usually what happens.
The day we moved ourselves and dogs to this house, it was raining. I let them out of the truck on their harnesses and leashes and brought them into the yard to walk around. Nothing. The minute I brought them inside and took off the leashes, both peed on the living room floor rather than go outside again to get their feet wet. Luckily, all the downstairs floors are ceramic tile and I hadn't put down any rugs yet.

[CSM]

I can hear Robert snapping on rubber gloves and I am picturing the evil grin on his face as he heads your way!

[xsmommy]

Tonight is puppy K. he missed two weeks. one my fault, one the teacher's cancellation. his new trick is the get right up on TOP of the kitchen table, only if it has food on it. xshub, luckily, has not seen this trick. he hops right up onto one of the chairs or benches and then right up onto the table top, walking around wagging his lil tail. i am going to raise this as a problem issue at tonight's class...

[xsmommy]

do not give that old coot, robt, any ideas, CSM! his imagination is way overactive ENOUGH!!!

[Texan5]

A sex toy party! Oh, I'll bet that was hillarious. Especially the women's remarks about the ones they could'nt make a positive ID for use on.

[CSM]

Ok, but I thought you liked it!

Hey, sounds like xspup is keeping you busy. As a fellow dog owner I am highly recommending "Good Owners Great Dogs" by Brian Kilcommons. It is a great book and it has a ton of great training tips.

[Texan5]

The thing itself isn't what was funny-it was the comments from the DJ, his wife, and the doctor.

[CSM]

I figured that was what you were referring to, I just wanted to poke you in the ribs a little. However, I am very squeemish when it comes to human surgeries or blood, etc. I wouldn't have been able to listen to it even in a comical way!

[Constitution Day]

Thanks for the birthday wishes!

I'm trying to get some work done so I can get out of here early and double-check things at our place on the river.
