    On my front porch. Only about an inch long. I've seen these guys a lot but none with eyes as red as this one.

    I used to have Wacky Wall Walker frogs in Kali, they are cool but their dew dew sticks to the wall too.

    Best friend that I ever had possibly the only friend that I ever had. She has been gone for some years now and I don't have the guts to get another dog. Her name was Hillary, SAY HER NAME! She actually had a lot of names mostly variations of "**** Dog" Like Poopinstein, PoopDe Chine, PoopMachine, etc. etc. She knew them all.

    Ha! You can't say p o o p in Romper Room, friggin pathetic.

    Best thing to do when you lose a dog is after an amount of time to grieve is to get another dog. You won't forget the one you lost, but it helps get over the loss.

    Why not have the pleasure of having another dog?

    @milto, I had 3 dogs when the first one died (I cried like a little biotch) and I immediately thought of getting another. Then I thought that I am going to have to go through this 2 more times as is and that's 2 more times too many. That Yorkie there was the last of the bunch. My daughter does like this Uber dog walking thing for extra money and she can't have a dog where she lives. I may try it, it will get me some exercise and I will get to hang out with the kind of people that I like, dogs.

    Zazie is too cute

    Thanks Josh :) She is the baby of the bunch. We got her when the shelters were being cleared out due to COVID.

    I’m glad to hear that slacker is pulling his weight (also glad that Dana is on the mend).

    My better half says that Zazie has been by my side since I recently went through a procedure and have been home recovering.

    My old shepherds knew not to take the eye off the prize when humans were eating. My floors were always spotless, even with 2 little kids in the house!

    The younger shepherd, we called her “the shadow” when the kids were in a high chair. You would just see her big dumb ears sticking up from the side, waiting. The food rarely had the chance to hit the floor...

    The alarm goes off early, like it always does, and Mr Headsmasher rushes over to casually sit on my right shoulder, purring up a storm into my ear.

    Within a blink of an eye, a loud, wet gargle comes from his dirty hole licking mouth which instantly engaged my nonexistent spider sense, and swiped him to the floor. On his way down, vomit spewed in a 12" long streak, starting at my bed and projected outward. That could have filled my ear instantly...

    He then has the audacity to run, from his spoils, to the bathroom where he sits on the sink, loud meowing like a jerk, awaiting the faucet to turn on for his morning drink. So, you ask yourself, what does Mark do? I'll tell you, i cleaned the sputum in my underwear and gave Lloyd a drink of water because his breath was rank smelling.

    What an abomination...

    I don’t know what I get up quicker for, 4yo claiming she needs to use the bathroom at 1am, random smoke detector, wife getting frisky, burglars, cat yacking somewhere in the dark With a fear of stepping in it!?!?

    Yikes. What an experience. Any idea what caused him to violently upchuck?

    I must have the least pukey cat then since he only does it like twice a year, and then there's grass in there so I know it's because he went outside and ate a bunch of grass.

    Do you understand where cats put their mouths?! :D
    You take a stab at your exhaust pipe and i'm sure you will do the same thing.

    He is an indoor cat, so i don't have to worry about the grass clippings, but when i do sluice his litter box, its usually full of house plants and piece of plastic bags. He's my buddy, but boy is he dumb.

    I let my cats go out back for an hour or so most days, and they immediately start chewing on the grass. Thankfully most days they don't upchuck it. Not really sure what the fascination is with grass.

    Free horse. Then you need $100,000 barn, $10,000 in fencing, 6 ton of hay per year at approximately $250/ ton, $75,000 for the truck and trailer to haul said hay, then there's vet bills, farriers, saddles, tack... Almost makes me wish I had boys.

    Boys instead of horses? Ha
    Girls definitely get horse crazy for some reason, but the guys do too. Everyone wants to be a cowboy.
    In 2008, we had to ship square bales from Florida, because Indiana was in a drought.
    Packing those suckers in the barn have me the worst case of chiggers ever. I had chiggers in places on my body I’ve never even seen. Rough summer...
