"I killed my pets to move in with my fiancé…"

Surely you jest!

[Goodgirlinred]

Why are you on an animal ping list if you feel that way?

[Goodgirlinred]

Excuse me. Pets are part of the family. They may not be right up there with my children, but they are close.

[Goodgirlinred]

Exactly! Well said. I could never love or want to be with anyone who did not want Harm to be part of the package.

[Cyber Liberty]

Well, duh. Yes. It's Chihuahuas I cannot abide.

[Cyber Liberty]

We lost our big baby dogs last year, and we have a nice cat. All have been well loved.

[Cyber Liberty]

Your pet is named "Harm?"

[Dashing Dasher]

"Your pet is named "Harm?""


As in the guy from JAG...

[Cyber Liberty]

Oh. Popular television series. No wonder I messed it.

[Goodgirlinred]

I know. I wouldn't want an ankle biter for myself, but I do love all animals except for snakes.

[Goodgirlinred]

Actually, my big baby's full name is Lt. Cmdr. Harmon Rabb. I call him Harm for short, just like the character on JAG. Harmful is another nickname since he ate my great room furniture when he was a puppy and dismantled another sofa down to the frame. He is Alaskan Malamute/Siberian Husky/Chocolate Lab cross. He looks like a Timber Wolf with lab ears at roughly 90 pounds. :)Also, he will take down anyone who tries to hurt me. ;)

[Goodgirlinred]

You got it. And he is just as handsome, too, in a doggy way. ;)

[Dashing Dasher]

We need pictures of Harm!

[Cyber Liberty]

Hear, hear!

[Goodgirlinred]

I don't know how to put pictures on here! I am going to get him in school with a sled dog trainer. I will take pictures of him doing that. The only pictures I have right now are of him 20 pounds ago. He is cute in them. This guy also thinks he can do some obedience training with Harm. I have never been able to do that with him. We flunked out of school when he was 7 months old. :( He is 4 years old now. He barks orders at me all the time. He rules. I am seaman, he is the officer.

[Dashing Dasher]

Send them to me and I'll post them.

Let me know if you need my email - not sure if I've sent it to you before or not.

"I euthanized my dogs for you!" [sound of door slamming]

[Goodgirlinred]

No, I don't have your email. The pics I have are not new. He is smaller in them. He does not look magnificent like he is now. He looks more like a dorky puppy than an officer! :)

[Dashing Dasher]

Take pictures - I'll FReepMail you my address.

We'll get it done!

How true. My husband once made the remark that he had never slept with cats and dogs until he married me (we have now been married 48 years). I told him that was because he came from and underprivileged family and he should be happy he found me. He agreed.
