Tweek

Babyblue5290 — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 20:59:29 GMT

Tweek (one of my Parakeets) died today. :(

He was always kinda a sickly budgie. When I first got him he was tiny, one of his toes on his foot was broken and healed wrong, his color was drastically dulled, and his feathers were in a horrible state and his tail was almost completely plucked out.

This is one of the first pics I have of him, you can tell he has an attitude lol

And over the years I had him he has improved so much. He gained plenty of weight and grew a bit. His feathers got their nice vibrant blue color again instead of the dull gray/blue. His feathers grew out and he was just a beautiful boy.

I don't know what killed him, though I believe it may just be due to neglect during his first part of his life.

RIP Tweek

He's flying free with his best mate Butters now.

Fun with the stove

eddieq — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 20:35:18 GMT

So I got home last night and my wife is standing there with "that look" on her face. I ask what's up and she said, "Did we renew the warranty on the oven? It won't light."

I said, "No, we decided to let it slide." At that point I'm thinking that it was a dumb move to let it slide, but honestly, the warranty cost was just about the replacement cost and I didn't think it was worth it.

Anyway, I decide to "take a look" and confirm that while the burners will light, the oven does not (propane gas setup here). I figured I'd take a look at the manual and the troubleshooting guide to see if that condition is listed. Mrs. Q is telling me, "I already looked there, it didn't help" but I look anyway. Well, apparently there is a separate gas shutoff for the oven and for the range top. It tells me where to find it (take out the bottom drawer and it's behind it) and sure enough, it was half tripped. I flipped it to the off and back on and voila, the stove lit up. I'm guessing that one of the handles from the pots that get stored in that drawer must have pushed it.

Crisis averted for now. Especially since there was panic setting in as we're hosting a dinner party tomorrow and also Thanksgiving dinner. Phew.

So, if your stove won't light, check the shutoff :)

twilight/new moon folks...

whos seen it, whos going to see it and am i the only lunatic that wants to see the movie 100% because i think werewolves are amazing and im interested in seeing how they do the shift and pack dynamics of that group and have absolutly NO interest in the edward/bella saga?

Prayers for Bella please...

PoodleMommy — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 20:00:11 GMT

My mom just called, the poodles were at the groomer today... the groomer called and said it looks like Bella has some kind of bite wound on her foot and she thinks there may be an infection moving up the leg... I dont know how she knows all of this but she is a very holistic person and does most of her own vet care at home.

We have no idea how/where this could have happened... my mom is on her way to pick them up and talk to the groomer more, so she will know more once she gets there.

She also thinks she has an ear infection.

Poor little Bella please send vibes that all is okay... I will talk to my mom more later and see what is going on.

Fila in Florida!

Miakoda — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 18:55:09 GMT

A forum friend on another forum is fostering a 6-month-old male Fila that was an owner surrender at the shelter she volunteers/works at. So I'm crossposting here in that our trusty Fila circle can help get this boy into a home he deserves!

Here are some pics of him:

**Sorry for posting a link to another forum, but it's the only way for me to get the pics visible for y'all because my computer is having problems allowing me to paste them over here.

doggie day care/boarding

Dreeza — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 18:49:43 GMT

Ugh, I just left Oakley for his "interview" at doggie day care...he gets to go free all day, so I figured I'd take advantage & leave him there...

He hates it so much though...I brought him in & forgot some paperwork in my car, so I handed his leash to the nice lady to go run & grab it...when I come back (like 10 secs later) Oakley is like pulling the poor woman, whining & freaking out cause I left him :(

She then showed me around...the place is alright... i didn't have much choice cause EVERYTHING was booked over thanksgiving (I only very recently found out I had to board him)...so its gonna have to do...

We left him in the play area to discuss his paperwork & I could hear him scratching & barking at the door the whole time...I'm pretty sure the woman thought I was crazy cause I was like telling her every detail about him & exactly how to handle him, blah blah....

Ugh, Now i can't do work like I planned cause I am just so worried about him!!! I feel like a horrible mom.

Pizza Pizza Pizza!

ACooper — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 18:47:02 GMT

Is there anything that ISN'T put on a pizza anymore? LOL

Pizza doesn't rate at the top of my list for favorites........but it's so darn versatile isn't it? You could throw nearly anything onto a crust and call it PIZZA!

Today I had a little spinach/mushroom pizza with alfredo sauce instead of tomato sauce and MMMMMMMMMMMMMM, it was so tasty!

My lunch wasn't crazy, but it got me thinking about all the ways I've had pizza.........breakfast pizza, taco pizza, pineapple and ham, even PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY PIZZA! <------and believe it or not, that PB&J pizza was GOOD!

Do you have a far out pizza style you adore? Or are you just an average topping kind of person?

dogs in weddings

milos_mommy — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 17:30:31 GMT

here is a wonderful place where i don't sound extremely crazy...

Zach and I (no, we're not getting married anytime in the near future) would like Milo and Giselle (his parent's mini doxie) to be the ringer bearer and flower-girl at our wedding.

We are keeping in mind that: Milo would like to use Giselle as his new chew toy and take all her stuffing out, and Giselle is not in a million years going to walk down the aisle (or do anything unless it's on HER terms), and also Giselle barks incessantly at every dog she sees and whatever food she wants or chair she wants ON or person she wants to pet her and is going to be the biggest princess in the room whether or not she's wearing the wedding dress (Yes I plan on competing with a 7 lb dog for attention on my wedding day)

Has anyone been to or heard about a wedding with dogs at/in it? How did it work? Did someone walk with the dogs down the aisle? Were they at the reception AND ceremony, or just one? How big/well trained/calm/ etc. were the dogs? Where was the wedding/ceremony? How formal/casual was it?

We're thinking we would have to designate a "babysitter" for each one to keep them happy/behaved/where they need to be. Probably someone would take either one or both of them home afterward, or they would both be leased and kept on opposite sides of the room and we would have the option of bringing them somewhere else should the need arise.

Just wondering if anyone has experience with this and if you think it's a good idea, doable, etc.

Lets see your doggies parents!
