Does your dog like coffee?

HenrySwan @HenrySwan (27) • United States 9 Nov 09

Our little Yorkie loves coffee. If we sit it on the coffee table she will stare at it, and if we ignore her or don't give her enough, she will nudge our arms with her nose.

dorkello I gave my dog beer once..she liked it. We also let her try champaigne and she made the most awesome face ever. Then she wouldn't go back to her water bowl for the rest of the night.

My dog likes my clothes

I just wanted to share given I have nothing else on the brains right now. Call it a brain drain, if you may, because I've been working and I'd spent time participating here. I have a Pomeranian. Well, I have more than one dog...

Pet Insurance?

3SnuggleBunnies @3SnuggleBunnies (16374) • United States 10 Nov 09

Do you have it? Is it worth the cost? I'm thinking for the $12 each animal (I have 4) I'd perhaps be better off just setting that $ aside than paying insurance premiums. Though it would come in handy for problems like our...

dorkello For a long time I was against pet insurance, and made fun of my mother-in-law for getting it. But now we have it for both our dogs. My older dog had about 2 months where she had all kinds of problems and had to go to the vet ER and regular vet quite a few...

What is your favorite animal to have as a pet?

mac6304 @mac6304 (76) • United States 10 Nov 09

My favorite pet is a dog. My favorite type of dog to have is a Boxer. We have had three and they are wonderful. I have also had fish (loved them, they were easy) and hamsters (they bit me, didn't like them very much). Can't handle...

dorkello I had two turtles and loved them. You'd be surprised at how much personality they have. I had Kevin, a female red ear slider, for 16 years and 11 months, and Teddy, a male western painted, for 7 years. They can live for up to 30 years in captivity, but from my...

mean dogs or not

livinloud72 @livinloud72 (24) • United States 2 Dec 07

i have been a life long owner of dobermans and i am tired of all the negitive comments on them. however they tend to be loyal to just one person but they are aware of gentalness and have shown me many times. one day my ex-wife got...

dorkello I am also tired of all the negative comments and stereotypes. I think part of the problem with dobermens is that they are very protective. My family was scared of large dogs (we had a little mutt while i was growing up) and now that they have met my dog, they...

How well do you get along with your sister(s)?

spalladino @spalladino (17891) • United States 16 Jun 08

How many sisters do you have and what is your relationship with them like? I have two younger sisters and we've pretty much lost touch with each other over the years but we communicate from time to time. When we were growing up I...

dorkello My sister is 9 years older and my brother is 6 years older. Growing up I got along pretty well with my sister, but it was hard because of the age difference. We've always kept in touch, but recently we've become closer, and it's great. I'm hoping she'll move...

Charging by the minute to use the internet

desertdarlene @desertdarlene (8910) • United States 15 Jun 08

I just heard on my local news that three major broadband companies are planning to set up plans similar to cell phones where you get a set amount of minutes and if you go over those minutes, you get charged extra. Now, maybe...

dorkello I heard about some city in Texas doing that. I also think it's a bad idea. I saw someone say Comcast plans on doing it? We use Comcast for our internet, so I don't think they should charge us per minute so we have them for cable too. Clark Howard also says its...

How many of you watch AVP?(beach volleyball)

katisaurus @katisaurus (1038) • Canada 2 Jan 07

AVP is a beach volleyball that happens every summer in the states. How many of you that enjoy volleyball watch it? Do you prefer the guys avp or girls? I usually watch both although I missed a lot of it this year.

dorkello I love it! AVP finally came to Atlanta two years ago, and I have gone every year since. Last year I was even able to keep stats for the matches, which was awesome. I met Ty Loomis and absolutely LOVE him. I also know a ref for the AVP, so gets my vball club in...

What do you do when you think you lost it?

shannonjyl @shannonjyl (421) • Canada 15 Jun 08

I lost my drive, my ability to look at a blank canvas and feel anything. I need help to get it back. Can anyone share with me and other mylot readers some tools you use to get motivated. I would really appreciate and help at all....

dorkello I am usually motivated by current events, and find what really pisses me off. Or rather than going for conceptual ideas, why don't you try something like painting a photograph that you love, or just something abstract that doesn't make any sense? Or even...

Have you ever said I love you to your dad?

senses @senses (840) • Philippines 14 Jun 08

We, in the family, are not expressive with each other feelings, so saying I love you had never been uttered by my mouth to any member of the family. I have said it but through text. However, does it really matter? I always believe...

dorkello I have said it to my mom many more times than my dad. I can actually remember the times I said it: when I was in Europe, and on my wedding day. But I don't think it bothers him, because he does know how much I love him and care for him. My husband's father...

Snoring? Do any of you snore?

honeydew82174 @honeydew82174 (1720) • United States 15 Jun 08

I had a sleepless night last night because my hubby was snoring so loud! I would elbow him to roll over and he would roll over and I would just start to dose off and he would start again. He could wake the dead! Do you snore? Do...

dorkello I know from experience snoring keeps you from getting the "good" sleep you need to be rested. I went to an ENT and she said I had a deviated septum which affected my sleep. So after a really crappy sleep test, I finally had a septoplasty and tonsillectomy,...
