[Daisy's Mom]

Daisy here. I never meeted a skunky 'afore! They sounds like a lotta fun though. I hope you all don't smell skunkish any more though, cuz yer dad sure doesn't seem to happy about it! Well Mom's got homework so I gotta go. Stay outta troubles, you two!
Love,
Daisy

One time last year, me and Cody girl sleyed a zippy and hid him inna wood pile, way unner the sticks. For months mom kept mumblin, "I smell skunk!!" What a SU-prize she got one nite when she lifted up a stick and there was mr. zippy, all dead and frozen like. She found our stash! She wasn't laffin much tho. And Cinners, so glad yer nailin dow yer strokes and paw paddlin talents. Now, we just gotta get Cody to follow yer lead. Woof at you later. Oh, and guess what, Smokey and Cinners...For my birfday, I gotta a big doggie cake in the shape of a star*****!!! Yum! Mom's the best. Lots a labbie butt wiggles and husky ear perks to our friends. Love, your pals Star and Cody.

[Cinder & Smoke]

We're back; fromma White Coat's Lab ...

I nowed sumpin wuz up last nite. We gotz our grub urlee, then no outie till reel dark:thirty. Dad grabs a zippie bag an hooks me up onna leash stringy. No runnin inna yard; jest lotsa *go poddies*. I gived up and took a dump. Dad uses his litestik then scoops up my stuff inna zippie bag?? SmokeMan's next onna leash. Found out later he wuz a tuff case - no poddy while Dad's lookin. Came back in wiff Dad mutterin he thinks he got the rong pile - handz were so kold he couldn't tell iffin it wuz "fresh".

Lebbin a-klok atta shop; nudder zippei bag an Smoke goes out solo, wiff Dad hawk-eyen out the door. Dashes out an comes back *grinnin* wiffa fresh bag of Smokey stinkie.
Letz go, hop inna trakter kar.

Uh, Oh...

{{Zippp, whooshe, pop!}}

Hold onto him; he won't like this.

Well, he's got a class 3 out of 4 "medial Luxating Patella"; he'll be a candidate for surgery if it gets any worse or bothers him. Cost about $800 at the hospital clinic I'd recommend.

Bare with us folks - we can't see what's happening here on Page 9 ...

At Karen's, our esteemed co-Moderator, suggestion, we've opened a New Thread...

"Cinder, Smokey & "The Pack" ...Continued beyond page 9..."

Fellow FurKids ~ We're moving on...

Page 8 might have been a record; let's try for page 10 on the new topic!

We might not be able to see this, cuz it'll appear on page 9; but we'd like for our whole Big Extended "Pack" to join us on the new page ~ See ya'll over there...

Lotsa Love from Cinder, Smokey, Boots, the Kat, and of course, "Dad".

This BY FAR gets the award for BEST THREAD of 2001!!!!!!!
And it lasted almost as long as the Year!!!!!!

[lbaker]

ABSOLUTELY!! This is what started my addiction to PetTalk and I've never regretted it. I still think Phred should make it into a book and have it illustrated.....it has best seller all over it

[momoffuzzyfaces]

First time to see this thread for me. I enjoyed it very much. Now I know how Smokey came to live with Cinder, Boots, and Phred.

[Freckles]

Moff, you might check some of the other threads in 2001

[Cincy'sMom]

This thread was BA (before Amy). I'm glad it came back to "front lines", as i did not know the whole story of Smoke. What a great story!!!

And I agree Phred sould write book...short stories of the furkids

[Randi]

This is just too good to be lost in the past - GREAT stories Cinder & Smoke - AND Phred!!

I agree, definately material for a book! We'll be glad to help with the pics (if still available) and layout. Got a title ready?

[captain]

This is one thread I have bookmarked, and I come back and read it every now and again.

I love it!
