Sorry to stray from the topic so much!
I'm getting used to the Here & Now Monopoly, but it was very strange at first.
There are no more railroads, they are airports now. The utilities are now cell phone and internet service. All the properties have changed ... you can now buy Red Rocks Ampitheater in Denver, Disney World, The Grand Ole Opry, Las Vegas Blvd., etc.
And the money is crazy now ... it goes from $10,000 to $5,000,000! And you have chance cards like, "Get a tax break for driving a hybrid" and "Go to jail for identity theft."
My kids actually like it so much more, though. It makes so much more sense to them.
And I apologize for hi-jacking this thread with my Monopoly story! :o

Sorry i dont often get mad on here but these folk who are breeding these so called fashionable digdogs should be marched out and shot :mad: ....it is iresponsible and god only knows what the damage they are doin to the poodle and the other breed they are 'mixing'.....
But they will be continued to be bred,whilst there is a market....nuff said :confused:
This is horrible! Whatever happened to the good old days? I could cry with this new "advance" in toys and games. Blech!
I do have to say however, that I love the names that were brought up, the "borderretrieverdoodle" and the "Huskashepralabracolliedoodle" That would make Jemi' a Chiratbimalttzu or something along those lines (I don't know her exact breeds, I am completely guessing!)
What has this world come to? *sigh*
:eek: I thought that was supposed to be a purebred Maltese! :(
I had no clue it was a designer dog, I'm boiling mad. My sister was like "AW! It's soo cute mom." and I agree with her because I wasn't listening to the stupid commercial. This is sick. How can they change a classic game like monopoly? I'm NOT buying that new version, I'd rather play the old one anyday.
Wow. That is all I can say. Why can't people just leave certain things alone? Kinda like all these new Uno and Yahtzee games. I'll take the original any day.Quote:

Build a Work shop toys are so cute, my cousin made her own santa bear for only $50.00, I want to make one of my own probably mumble lol, that little cross breed dog was realy not needed in there company tho .. why not just stick with a regulare dog?, I geuss they wanted somthing un-commen.
Ya I don't like it when they cross animals I think it's stupid (not the animals) but I don't get mad about it because there's nothing we can realy do about it, we can't fine the company because they cross breed there little teddy bears. :rolleyes:
Guys listen, It's just a stuffed dog. Kids probably don't even know what a maltipoo is! If the mother was smart they would say no when the kid says "Mommy I want a maltipoo!" Kid doesn't even know what it is. So what if they want a mixed breed. Big whoop.
Ditto!Quote:

It may be true that the kids know what it means, but it is basically advertising designer dogs. The kids may 'upgrade', if you will, and say "Mommy, I want this *holds up maltipoo dog* for Christmas" Another designer dog sold, another shelter dog killed.
It looks more like a Bichon Frise than a maltipoo. A toy isn't going to change anything. The kid will love it for two weeks, then forget about it.
