I think you should be a little more accurate, how many seconds? LOL! I got your PM but I don't like many surgar free things, thank you so much though, keep me on your list. I'll have to send you a sample of my juice sometime, I just haven't had the time or energy to mix big batches.

I'm going to go try and lay down. It's going to be a long day. I'll talk to you later. Good Morningnite!

Rest easy, jpf880!

Tomorrow starts my weekend =] A few new recipes to cook, plans to reorganize my desk AGAIN... I got a replacement printer and it has not even been opened... just a box sitting on the floor in the way each day and night :/ I dread unhooking everything, taking everything off of the desk, and then putting it all back and hooking it all up again... But I really, really need to... I am out of space and seriously cramped.

5. 4/18 - Thought I would give you folks another pic I took of the nicer side of spring's animal kingdom. Actually it was the beginning of last summer, but they should be hatching pretty soon...

Black Witch Moth on a 2x8 beam. It was so big, when it flew I thought it was a bat.

Bella calls these "Flying Crackers"

Heh! Bella is a huge bug catcher :p Emmy hasn't noticed any bugs on our walks and I haven't seen any inside. Emmy tries to chase birds, I make her sit as quietly as I am able while I feed the squirrels, and the cats... she has ignored. Dogs she loves!

Bella loves cats and dogs but they run as soon as they see her. I drove by a dog park on the way home one day and there were a couple German Shepherds, Dobermans, and boxers. I picked up Bella and took her back to play as soon as she walked out there all the dogs went and sat behind there owners. Except the Chihuahau, it was the only one that would play with Bella. I felt so bad for her walking around in the dirt by herself.

It gave us more room to play ball.

EDIT: She look PRETTY BIG! She is not LAB, she is Great Pyrenees, isn't she??


That's pretty odd :/ She looks very friendly... then again... you know it could be you right? Not a sweet, fluffy white Lab... but you LOL Wear a funny hat or something to look non-threatening LOL

I had 2 long haired Chihuahuas before =] I think I have their pics posted on my blog, they were not friendly to anyone when they were older LOL My male Chihuahua was super friendly, but when I got a little female 'sister' for him, she taught him to snarl and bark at everyone LOL

Emmy loves everyone, but I am pretty paranoid around larger dogs. I've raised wolf pups, pit bulls, and Chihuahuas... now with Emmy I see that they all have different personalities. Emmy has surprised me at how very smart she is... and she is a lover! If you walk by and don't talk to her or show her love, she barks at you! I don't like the big dogs coming around her though... I see a few larger dogs that seem too focused on her and at those times she's UP IN MY ARMS and MY KEYS are BARED! LOL! Have to protect my little monkey face!

Why I don't know she bit the carp out of me yesterday when I was drying her after a walk... she is usually good about nipping the towel with our drying/wrestling game, but she nipped me under the arm. Sore & tender spot for marshmallow lady like me!

#2 My dog is such a jerk when it comes to other dogs. He was bullied by bigger dogs when he was a puppy, so now he doesn't like other dogs. I also learned that he doesn't like baby strollers. Poor lady. He probably scared her to death, the way he reacted to her kid's stroller. I think he just didn't know what he was looking at.

Did you get him when he was older? He may have had some bad experience with other dogs and strollers. My Chihuahuas were aggressive, but with 10 acres and livestock, they were pretty territorial. Plus, the little female actually herded the goats, chickens, ducks, and geese... she had to be a bit aggressive to get some of them penned up every night.

Emmy though, she is a big cream puff... I got her when she was 6 years old because the family's children went to college and no one took care of her... she was a sad little mess when I got her - hair, nails, teeth, fleas, worms, and feeding habits a total mess, now she is a pert and prancing spoiled little monkey faced dog!

#3 he was just under a year old when we got him, but he had definitely already had a hard life, poor guy. He had been bullied by the bigger dogs, got almost no attention from humans, lived outside in a pretty small yard, wasn't allowed to eat very much because the other dogs wouldn't let him, and then on top of that he contracted parvo and almost died. But he is very happy and healthy indoor dog who gets lots of love now.

Bella's a sweetheart, she loves everybody and everything (except bugs) and she's extremely gentle and mellow. When I first got her and took her for a walk there were several little kids that would just stare at her. Their parents said they were afraid of dogs, so I talked them into petting her back. They did, since it was so far from her head they felt it was safe and she is so beautiful and soft it was too hard for them to resist and she always just looked forward not trying to lick them. It was like she new any movement would scare them. Every time I walked her they'd be waiting outside there houses with a parent to pet her. Slowely getting closer to her head each time, finally stroking her head. After a couple weeks they'd run out (no parent) reach up and throw there arms around her neck and squeeze tight. A couple parents thanked me because now they could finally get a dog. She got her therapy dog certificate on the 1st try and I didn't even have to train her. They say a Great Pyrenees will never start a fight but if a dog keeps going after it and won't back down, it will end the fight, quickly. They can snap a coyote spine in one bite. One Pyr can kill a wolf, and chase away a bear. Two will kill the bear. They were bred for over 2000 years to guard sheep and goat flocks.

I have seen them being trained for water rescue here at one of our lakes and I have owned a half breed Great Pyrenees... whoooo long, long ago LOL She was a serious lover =] Meghan was her name LOL Stole my best friend's name for her future daughter, she was ...... for years :p Yeah, Bella looks like a cuddle bug =] Emmy hates to cuddle, my only complaint about her... she likes her space...
