My wife's lhasa apso/shih tzu mix has "little dog syndrome". He loves to rough-house and is constantly trying to assert his dominance over everyone in the family. I make sure he always submits when he challenges me. The cat is his arch enemy and he gives her a wide berth. She's too old and ornery to tolerate any of his nonsense.

Still, he's pretty sweet and loveable. :p

Smart dog. My niece has a pug that one eye was put out by a cat (her cat) :facepalm:

Can any of you fine folk help me with a bit of advise
I want an rba to fit on the 14500 mini, rob has offered to turn anRM2 down to fit, but I have a problem, with chrome, it tends to make me unwell, so I tend to use only SS.
What I'm after is an SS rba, that is easy to coil, that will fit on a mini, I've looked at the miniA7, but after reading the threads on it, I'm reluctant to get one, could you recommend any others for me
Thanks
Frank
By the way, I don't like an airy draw

I like the hornet for the side air hole but I have a couple of SS Surface RBA's for sale in the classys in case you weren't aware:p

Morning, afternoon, evening Peeps!!

Please stay safe all who are in harms way. I've been through +120mph winds (hurricane) and its nutting like a tornado. Our tornadoes here mostly form/stay off shore (water spouts) and heard of a small one once that lasted a couple of minutes which landed and damaged a few homes years ago. Been through several tornado watches (Missouri) but none materialized, lucky me.......had no idea what the sirens were for the first couple of times.:facepalm:

Anyone with comments on this dog. Australian Shepherd/Heeler. No experience with either of the xbreeds here.....lol, I'm getting too analytical.

Nutz - I worked for a vet for 12 yrs. They are very smart breed. Herding dog by nature so likes a lot of running room. Just FYI

Thank you so much Alice, you are a fountain of info :laugh:. I'm gonna take a look see in a couple of hours, the seller still has all 7 available. Says some have longer coats like the shepherds and some shorter like the Heelers. He wanted $500 but willing to go $400 because vet physical and first shot will be $400 cost for him. Full docs of physical and shot will be provided. Two of them would be great, but so much money going towards new home makes this tough. Still haven't heard of Min Pin that I would also be getting. I think under 2 years old, female and spayed. It lives at the Hilton Hawaiian Village, the owner one of the managers whose gonna have to return to the mainland.

Having a pack of dogs is quite different than just one larger and one smaller dog.

The heeler/sheperd will need not only room to exercise but something to keep him from getting bored. These dogs do a lot better taken for walks and active play with the owner. They tend to develop nervous tendencies if just put outside to run. Bad habits of digging, running in circles around the yard and lots of barking are frequent if these dogs are just put outside for long periods of time. At least one, better if two daily walks at a good clip for about 45 min to an hour.

A pack of dogs serve as playmates and do good for games of chase. In other words they find their way to stay amused and active by the close contact of others.

I have seen many dogs left outside to get their "play and exercise time" become the dogs that travel the fence line just barking at everything that moves. They need more. It takes time as a owner to have a well adjusted, and happy dog.

Just my two cents.

Great info Karen. My Heeler girls are quite vocal much more than the others. Virtually always some kind of critters to bark at mostly at night. It could be nusance if in a "regular" neighborhood but they don't do as much barking at people; mainly woods critters. They alert bark at people but then stop and watch. The Doodles were the most destructive to property we've ever had. I think it was more fun thsn boredom. Heeler girls weren't destructive as youngsters but stole things but didn't eat or tear up. My Rotties would go a year and then all of a sudden tear up a doggie bed into old age. They weren't destructive of soft toys. Herding Briard never tore anything up even soft toys. Mastiffs hardly did any damage to anything with a few rare exceptions but killed any soft toy quickly.

Even people who have disabilities can find ways to bond and exercise their dogs like ball throwing. Just needs to be regular.


Hugs, Feisty Alice

Thanks gurlz, appreciate the input. Lotsa parks near where I will be moving, including a soccer field where kids use only on weekends, too hot for weekdays (no trees). Retired and little to do so dog be good for me to get some exercise as well (docs been nagging me to do this). Will get help from brother in law when he moves in with us and my son. Hopefully the Min Pin will be a good playmate as well so hopefully we be one big happy family :). DW is nut animal friendly but likes a dog for better security and will put up with them. Should've investigated her better before proposing :laugh:

Finally got all my ingredients in the mail today to make Val's recipe! YAY So I am off to make my first batch verbatim her recipe. If I don't vape myself into oblivion I will get back on here later this evening to let everyone know how it turned out!

I hope it comes out well! I just mixed my biggest batch yet, 150 mls of it to send some out to DH's daughter. I have been getting some really positive feedback on it and people want it! Yay! I am still experimenting with the vanillas, since I started with DIYflavorshack and now use TFA, I ordered some DIYFS to compare. I may just decide DIYFS is the "one", just as they were with the caramel. The main difference is I didn't think it was even vapable without DIYFS caramel, and I do vape the TFA vanilla just fine.

Had I known other people would like it as much as I do, I probably would have been a bit more picky with brands of stuff. I was just making it for myself all this time. I don't know about the acetyl pyrazine, or why I put it in their either. I think it was in a recipe I found elsewhere and tweaked, yet left that ingredient as is. I should give credit to whoever originally made it (albeit with differences) for their inspiration, but have no idea who/where I got it from! I just mixed it a few times with the calculator, saving different versions until I had the one I liked best. Which is exactly what I would encourage anyone using the recipe to do for themselves, since subtle changes really do make huge differences. I used to put a lot more PB in it, until someone said it was too much, and I agreed. So I started cutting it down to where I liked it best. You might like more? I am just glad you didn't hate it :lol:

Oh, and I vape it immediately after I make it sometimes. If I am not out, I will let it steep with the lid off for a day or two just to get out any vodka that got in since I rinse all my bottles/syringes etc. with vodka immediately prior to mixing. I don't know how that will affect it, but what I sent you I had made for myself so I think it did sit out at least one night.

Ok Val, where do I place my order? Looks like your website is down again. Grrr...darn uppity up juice vendor type peoples... ;)

I don't sell it. Heck, I gave away the recipe! DH thinks I should sell juice, but that would be a PIA if you ask me! Demanding customers, wanting it their way, when they want it? No thanks :lol:

Val well I made my batch and like it very much! I made it verbatim. Now I have one Reo with Boba's in it and one with your recipe. Funny not the Boba's seems almost flavor less. I know the recipe comes out to 25 pg / 75 vg which I think will be better for me. The 100% VG I like the vapor but seems to make my chest heavy feeling.
Thank you again!

Well I am glad everyone thinks the tornado project is okay to commence with. :D
I got to work to 13 bright eyed and bushy tailed excited kids. We were soon joined by the other 7. So all came and that really made my day. we spent the morning doing 3 lessons on tornado safety from NSSL Learning Resources: Students instead of printing it out we used the smart board. Everyone was calm and happy. So we had a class discussion to share what we had seen and heard and what we were thinking and feeling.
Everyone was in awesome spirits. So we are on a green light to make our projects.

Alice I am glad you are doing okay! This weather is so new to me!

Ratman thank you for clarifying what they 24 count meant. I was very confused when I caught a snippet on the meeting on the radio during lunch.
24 is still obviously too many but we are thankful for any reports they can recant in our favor.

I am not sure how to close this message. Thankful for everyone out there doing things for people. People are so awesome.
