[Christiansmommy]

I have something cute, that might make you smile...similiar to Karen's post. My son, Christian, hence my user name, Christiansmommy , is 18 months old and talking up a storm. So anyway he knows how to say belly button "bellbut"...so he was carrying around a naval orange the other day and says, "bellbut"...and points at the whole in the orange, otherwise known as the naval!! It was so cute...i have a little genious on my hands!

Catland: I can almost smell his breath

Hey thats almost an insult
My puppy doesn't have bad breath at all & never did (not joking).. I think its his dog food that keeps his teeth so healthy & stops them from rotting like most dogs & thats a big factor to dog breath (I was told this by a vet)... & I think his ropes help it alot too... See how sad u made my sweet non-bad breathed puppy feel.



Its ok sweety, Jessie knows the truth, don't be so sad.

Just a quiet moment of awe to share:

I grew up in a sub-suburban area, with woods and swamps behind the houses on either side of the street. We had a birdfeeder that you could see from the kitchen and the dining room that extended on an armature out from the porch, and we also threw birdfood on the gravel driveway for the non-perching birds. On quiet winter mornings, a special treat were the mourning doves, who were pretty shy, but a few would come feed in the drivey, sometimes a half-dozen or so at a time. We never knew how many there were in the woods, but the morning before the Blizzard of '78, we counted 33 mourning doves in the driveway at one time: we knew the storm was going to be more than the "flurries" that were forecasted. The doves were always quiet, with little murmuring coos at best, and have lovely, subtle coloring, and would flee at the slightest disturbance. Special.

I live in a city now, a pretty suburban city, but a city nonetheless, But we, too, have (thin) woods behind our house, and I scatter seed on the snow all winter for the juncos, sparrows, squirrels, blue jays, and even the pheasant partakes on occasion. But in the almost 6 years we've lived here, I never see some birds that I knew from childhood.

Last week, on one of my usual hurried weekday mornings, I rushed out of the house, tossed my bag on the passenger seat and got in the car. I looked out the windshelid and there, on the path right in front of me, at eyelevel because there's a hill, were two lovely still mourning doves!

I sat, in awe at their quiet presence in my harried morning, amzaed that they were here, so close to so many people, cars, roads and noise.

Just a small miracle on an ordinary day. I hope they come again some time.

Kingrattus: I loved your comment about the claw "shells". I scared myself stupid (not far to go) one night when I gave Grasshopper a grooming girl time - when I got to her hind claws, one was kind of sticking out, and I was figuring since she's getting old, maybe her toes were getting arthritic and wouldn't retract well anymore. So I carefully clipped all the claws, but when I got to the "bad" one, it wiggled loose in my hand! I freaked, the cat just looked at me, and I tried to shove it back in place. Needless to say, it was a shedding "shell", that came off in my fingers. After I shrieked, Dadcat came out, and by then I was laughing my a** off, realizing how dumb I was!


Lut: Dadcat always calls the "naughty" pose "One eyed cat peeking in the seafood store".
