Whether you go to a shelter, pet store, or pick a puppy from a breeder, there are plenty of dogs out there. Did you pick your dog out from a group, or your puppy from a litter? If so, what made you pick yours? What stood out to...

Thunderll Aw, it's good that you found a new buddy for your older dog. It's so sad when something happens to one dog and the other just kind of mopes around.

Thunderll Yes, shelters can be very helpful. I wish that more people would plan in the long run and figure out just what type of dog they really want. Less dogs would end up in shelters that way.

Thunderll That sounds like a great gift. I used to love the Homeward bound movies. I bet she's really cute if she looks like Chance. It sounds like you have some nice kitties too.

Thunderll I'm glad you're happy with your dog. It's so tempting for me to go and look at puppies they're giving them away outside of stores (it happens a lot around here) but I know I'd be tempted to take one home and I can't right now.

Thunderll My family had a yellow lab when I was growing up. They are really cute! It's nice that you spent the time to find them good homes. We do the same thing, either get our dogs from the shelter or from people whose dog had puppies, or people who simply can't take...

Thunderll I think I know what you mean. My mom is the same way. She says the dog just has to 'click' with her. She'll walk in with a few specifics in mind, like must be female, must be a Lab, etc. Then she'll see some scruffy male dog over in the corner and just say...

I am not kidding our dog would rather you give him a balloon then any other toy he has. And believe me he has the toys. We can start to touch the drawer where we keep the balloons and he will be right there with his stubby tail...

Thunderll I know how you feel; I miss the mutts back home terribly. That's a very cute picture.

Do you have any problems with your neighbors? Are they noisy? Have you done anything about it? My husband and I moved into an apartment that is between two of the nosiest neighbors known to man. Seriously the guy on one side of...

Thunderll I know! It's kind of freaky sitting here wondering what they are really up to and why they felt the need to lie.

More and more people travel alone nadays. How do you like it? Have you ever traveled alone before? If you are going to travel alone, where do you most want to go?

travel alone

Thunderll Yes, it is definitely something that warrants consideration. It's unfortunate that anyone has to worry in the first place, though. When I have to travel alone, I just make sure that I tell a couple different people where exactly I'm going and how long I plan...

Over the last few weeks, I've gone to lunch at a couple of restaurants. Two of these times, I had a waitor. The interesting thing is that both times I thought they were flirting. I'll give you I was eating alone, but it made me...

5 responses

Thunderll Yeah, a waiter being a little too nice or flirting can make me feel uncomfortable. They should definitely be polite and friendly, compliments are nice, maybe a little harmless flirting, but there is a certain point where it can stop being harmless and start to...

The subject of tips has been discussed to death, but sometimes it still gets confusing. I think I'm a reasonable person and I contribute my fair share to help the economy. But at times it seems a bit much. You walk into an...

Thunderll I had never heard that an employer has to pay the difference to a waiter or waitress if they don't make enough in tips. I wonder if that is done everywhere or only in certain places?

I have been a voracious reader since I was about 11 years old. I have read so many books from many different genres. I can honestly say that there have been only 2 books that I have started and found so boring that I just put it...

Thunderll Thanks for the welcome! It is pretty funny that your husband uses time as an excuse, then gets caught playing games for hours. Mine tries to talk to me sometimes, too, when I'm not paying much attention to anything around me. He hates it when he tries to start...

Really, sometimes it just seems to be a conspiracy... I had my car in the shop the last few days, found out what was wrong, got it fixed, passed inspection. Then, last night, we went out for a bite to eat and on the way back,...

Thunderll Luckily, we didn't have to walk anywhere. His sister's family actually has their own tow truck, so they were the ones who came to pick us up. It did suck sitting there in the cold night waiting and trying to figure out what in the world just happened,...

Thunderll It's unfortunate when you don't get to see your loved ones as much as you used to. That's life though, I suppose. Right now I am living five hours away from my parents. Of course, I just moved out at the beginning of this year so it hasn't really affected me...
