Yes, just like Richard Simmons, during Sweat to the Oldies...

[xsmommy]

well that would also be in character now wouldn't it ? ; )

[hobbes1]

Yup. See above.

[Conspiracy Guy]

My bad. I just clicked to your post and saw pic. He is a cutey.

Today the garden walls go in! I'm so excited. The 'bot told me he would handle the workers and contractor. How sweet. He doesn't know all the plans and specifications, and he's a pick about stuff like that. The first time he picked up dog doo, he mapped out the dog doo spots. By the time he got to picking it up, both dogs had taken another dump. So much for planning, eh?

[xsmommy]

when i talked to the breeder of the new potential xspup, she understood completely the problem with xspup and said she has bred dogs for years and had the same thing happen with a corgi, and had to give it up. she said she didn't WANT to have to be that tough with a dog, and that is how i feel. and from what i understand it would never be required, in fact rough treatment would be devastating to the tenderhearted cav.king charles span.

[secret garden]

When are you getting the new and improved xspup?

[xsmommy]

like i said, i was gratified that this woman understood completely that it is not in my nature to be like that with a dog, so i need a dog that does not require that type of treatment.

[Slip18]

My Box o'Rox has that same expression. It's like a smiley face for dogs. I'm so glad this dog got adopted. He really deserves a good life.

[Conspiracy Guy]

I like him. But he aint no LulaBelle.

[xsmommy]

well if i hear from the breeder this week, she had said she was going to be doing a dog show in York, PA this weekend and would bring some suitable pups for us to see, and the object i guess would be to go home with one, since she lives even farther away. xshub is being brought along slowly, he is reconciling himself to the inevitability of it....

[hobbes1]

That is because you are all sweetness and light of course.....

[Slip18]

I think if xs had her way, she would have had a dog a month ago.

[xsmommy]

my brother in law and niece devised a system where they dropped a FLAG where their little yorkie pooped and then they went back for it. i doubt that they kept up with that, though!

[secret garden]

No, it's more like
How fast can you get me to Montana so I can hook up with some hot little labs?

[hobbes1]

ROTFLMAO....

[xsmommy]

everytime xskids and i see a dog there is a chorus of AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW, we want a dog......

[honeygrl]

"in fact rough treatment would be devastating to the tenderhearted cav.king charles span. "

Guess that is one more breed of dog the kids can't have once we get a house and hubby lets me get a dog.

[xsmommy]

The breeder said she would not sell to a family with small kids, she asked how old mine were.

[Laura Earl]

Yep...Flurry was getting confused with 2 LulaBelles around.
