The Hobbit Hole III - Journey to the Cross-roads!

Posted on 12/17/2002 7:32:02 AM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Journey to the Cross-roads

The Two Towers Edition

Come on! Come in! -if you would like to have some seedcakes and a pint and relax a while. (If it is a special occasion, we still have a few bottles of the old wineyards left!)

Our first thread ( New Zealander builds Hobbit hole ) reached 4,100 posts, and we thought that was big. Our second thread (The New Hobbit Hole ) held us for over 48,000 posts, and we loved it dearly. We talked about moving to a new thread for the last 38,000 posts, but we are really slow to muster! Finally, the time has come. Tomorrow (at 12:01 am, to be precise!) The Two Towers comes out, and we start a new chapter.

Yay for your DSL!! :-D

I was soooo giddy when I got mine. Then I was very mad and frustrated when I moved and Qwest fouled up (big surprise) and I was stuck with dial-up for a few weeks!!! Hard to go back to dial-up after DSL!

I saw that too! I did a double-take on that one.

"am also trying to talk my hubby into getting a little Scotty dog."

Scotty dogs are great! My brother and his wife have had 2. The first one had to be put to sleep :-( but they got another one. They are just so cute.

It's gonna be great! Though I'm worried...I hadn't yet received my install package, and if it isn't there when I get home, I'll have to wait until MONDAY! I'm NOT good at the patience thing!

[raises eyebrows]

You *are* talking about the dogs, right?

A friend had a Scottie at their farm, fun little dog with more opinions than brains! - used to harrass the horses, and got stomped pretty hard one day. Took off runnin' away (smartest thing it ever did) needed some stitches, but in the end was no worse for wear. She gave the dog to her mother after that though, who had no horses around!

Yeah. Hmm...why, you have other stories for us?

Yeah, that was the story I meant - the Scotty [dog] that couldn't seem to learn from experience!

We're home! Pippin is doing well on his first day in the new place! He played with the boys for a few minutes and then right before lunch, I took him outside and he pee'd!

Brought him in, my mom bought a baby bassinet (up on legs, you know...she doesn't have to bend over so much) and she put it in the bassinet with a towel and it immediately curled up and slept all the way through lunch. When it woke up, I took it out again and it pee'd again! Smart puppy! Much praise and love!

That's pretty much how the whole visit went...we'd been there since about 11am and if we didn't put it in the bassinet, it would curl up between the boys when it would get tired and fall asleep. Then I'd take it out and it would potty.

Pictures soon.

I'll be for the popcorn and tales of "Scottys". LOL!

Gotta run now. Glen will be here to pick me up shortly.

Bye everyone! See you later in chat! (I hope!)

That dog would have chased horses forever, or until it was killed! - Chasing them with fresh stitches in!

See I forgot I had told that story before, so I wasn't sure *what* you were talking about!

I often forget which stories I have told before ("we know grandma")
