I must have been wildly clicking in Bloglines.<BR/><BR/>Second of all, I really don't like it when people don't have the guts to say things without being anonymous. It totally irks me. Personally, I would have deleted it.<BR/><BR/>Third of all, that window treatment is so totally cute!futuregirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12838888056940421285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23443085.post-1170661735505691152007-02-04T23:48:00.000-08:002007-02-04T23:48:00.000-08:00Ohh....love the curtain.

Then while I had her, I took her to the vet to be certain it was not just a trainable instinct on her part. We have been soul searching to be sure we are able to handle this responsibitity and we truly want to do this.<BR/><BR/>I talked about my shock at the responsibility (55 years) just to illustrate how serious the commitment is, and how deeply it struck me..<BR/><BR/>I have been serious about adopting a dog for 2 months and thought I had my perfect match. If I had my way I would have kept her but I was making the most concienscous decision I could make for her safety and for the cats safety as well.<BR/><BR/>Your point is well taken, but already realized.<BR/>Thanks.You can call me Betty, or Bethany, or Beth ...Just don't call me late for dinner.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04105440452868506777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23443085.post-1170254329057835502007-01-31T06:38:00.000-08:002007-01-31T06:38:00.000-08:00the next time you get a dog, be ready to take on t...the next time you get a dog, be ready to take on the responsibility of it, good and bad. maybe you should just stick to your cats. there is no telling how many homeless pups you might have to return before you find the perfect match. dogs need training and people who take the easy way out make me sick. did you talk to your vet, call a trainer, talk to the rescue organization?? the internet has a wealth or information and so does the library. hopefully your puppy will find it's forever home soon with people who really really want a puppy until they are aged 55.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23443085.post-1170111796052128342007-01-29T15:03:00.000-08:002007-01-29T15:03:00.000-08:00a hem?Animals (especially dogs) can wiggle their l...a hem?<BR/><BR/>Animals (especially dogs) can wiggle their little selves into your heart so quickly can't they?

I'm a bit of a dog nut so I can't imagine a life without one or two.<BR/>I was looking at my labs the other day thinking they have a presence (energy) that adds to the house. Each one differently too. Of course it helps if they behave and don't cause havoc. I'm not a nuture type either but I don't mind taking care of them. <BR/>PS - They're a great excuse if you have to go somewhere you really don't want to ..."We really have to go, the dogs need to fill-in-blank (eat:: go out::poop)!"<BR/><BR/>I agree with the stitch lines at the bottom.

My puppy and cat are the same and I have come very close to finding her a new home (the dog) but I keep hoping it will all smooth out and that the cat will stop tormenting her before she figures out she could eat him up.<BR/><BR/>I would either leave the curtain exactly as it is (it's really cool) or do what Ambercake suggested, that sounds good too.Angelinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05216322840161752535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23443085.post-1169682376170290472007-01-24T15:46:00.000-08:002007-01-24T15:46:00.000-08:00I totally understand your state.

I was so in love with the bird, it would sit on my shoulder and nibble on me ear, and cuddle in my hair. Well, after a week of screaming and at the dog, I knew seniority wins... Alas, I still miss the little guy, and probobly always will....<BR/>I like the curtain, but kind of feel like it needs a red fringe or ribbon on the bottom, to give it a bit more weight...

Just a straight line near the bottom, maybe across the center panel, maybe across the whole thing. It's already really cute.AmberCakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10322637880008301537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23443085.post-1169574156498289172007-01-23T09:42:00.000-08:002007-01-23T09:42:00.000-08:00well shoots, i can see why you miss her, that pict...well shoots, i can see why you miss her, that picture says it plain... but, you did the right thing. that situation wouldn't have been right for anyone, mommy or puppy.....hahahahaha.ruby-crowned kinglettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10840067675245737972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23443085.post-1169573917843691452007-01-23T09:38:00.000-08:002007-01-23T09:38:00.000-08:00If it makes you feel any better some years ago I g...If it makes you feel any better some years ago I got rid of the cutest little white lab puppy (found abandoned) because it immediately got the mange (stymied my bonding with it...how superficial am I?) and it would roll itself in cow manure and then come up wiggling to my kids. Felt awful at the time about getting rid of her. The guilt. But I actually found a home for her and have heard she is as happy as can be. Was the right decision because I'm sure she was going to keep on rolling in cow poop and I wasn't going to like her too much for that. Decisions like that are hard because ... well you know. By all means, try again. Get another dog. There will be a good one for you somewhere. Don't get me started on the biological clock thing!<BR/>As for the curtain, I think it would be nice to have the side fabric edge along the bottom of the white, maybe up a little to let the fringe stuff still be there? I like the fringe.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
