I'm in on the cruise. Always looking for an excuse to take a vacation, especially one with sun!! Uh, oh, are we talking Alaska?

Who's gonna watch the tri-pawds?

Also, who's gonna make sure Brett packs the red outfit?

Also, Coop's Dad - are those tighty whiteys or just really cute shorts? If they are just cute shorts, I have a great pair of wedge sandals to go with the outfit. They'll bring out the color of your eyes. Back to therapy tomorrow.

P.S. - I've learned that it's really important that my friends all have a good sense of humor, because I need to laugh.

Oh goodness...I'm so sorry. Don't sue me for libel.

Is that Gus' Dad in the tighty whiteys? Does he need the sandals?

Lincolns mom, I have not met anyone here that I would sue. wink  Looked like and honest mistake to me, just wanted to be sure everyone knew that someone else should get the credit for such a handsome photograph. No need to be sorry, I have been lost on some of these topics for the last few days... Coops and I are still trying to figure out what fur figured means! Anyway -  from what I know about you at this point - it would take A WHOLE lot more than that for me to get upset - or sue ... winker

Also, Coop's Dad – are those tighty whiteys or just really cute shorts?

 

Lincoln Stinkypants, THAT's NOT Coop's dad!   That's Gus' dad, Dan!   (I've been holding this little gem for a while! I cut it out of his video of Gus.)

All I can say is....you know you are old if you send a picture of your dog while in your undies and assume the world will only notice your dog! surprised

 

Coop's dad - We'll have you begging to post embarrassing pictures before you know it!

 

And also -  Lincoln's mom are you saying that the bad guys don't tell you lawyer jokes? big-blink 

 

I love cruises!  I'm all in!  That would be so incredibly fun!  I know if Brett says he'll do it, he'll do it!   

I vote warm and something that doesn't stop in Encenada, Mexico (I feel a tummy ache coming on just thinking about that town)!

 

Shanna, tell Bob you only live once!  And if that doesn't work...say what I say - "You have no choice!".  (Okay,  don't really say that because Cometdad is so easy-going)

Oooops!  I was posting and talking to cometdad and didn't notice the above post!

 

Sorry Coopsdad – where did we lose you? 

 

Dan (djbockman) is Gus' (the handsome boy dog) in the picture.   Dan in your neck of the woods in Ohio and farms.  Very sadly we lost Gus back in July. He was a special farm dog. 

 

We had a fund raising drive this summer and Cometdog did videos from dog pictures- so we saw the good, the bad and the ugly!

Here's the post with all the videos - so you might be brought up to stuff if you got some time on your hands to watch them. Just click the link and then click the links on the names.

Thanks Cometdog. I was a little lost on who Dan and Gus were , I have seen djbockmans posts , so I'm clear on that. Now Im still just trying to figure out what "fur figure" means. 🙂

Size 9 on the sandals....... I'll need them for the cruise!!!! If you guys are serious about a cruise,I'll do some checking, I think if we reserve a certain number of rooms at one time we might get a price break. I've done 4, all caribbean, no better feeling than leaving cold and snow for sun and fun. Hey, we could call it the cool " Tripawds Tropawcal Hopaway " cool Hey Coops dad, don't worry, the pain isn't as bad as you think it might be!!!!!

Sheesh. Who knew I'd go from musing about the merits of getting older to a picture of Brett in a HOT HOT red micro mini (you'd never get across the Canadian border wearing something that short, just so you know) to a craftily pixelated picture of Dan in his undies (I agree with Cometdog - we DO also notice the humans in photographswink - keep that in mind, Coop's dad)  to plans for a cruise!

Love it, love it, love it. Tripawds Tropawcal Hopaway. Brilliant, Dan. big-grin

For inquiring minds!

The red skirted gentleman was actually introduced to me by my wife. His name is Leslie. He's quite funny and famous too. My legs are way better looking than that wink

Here is a picture of my wife and a friend with him…………………Someone is blushing. She would probably kick my butt if she knew I posted this. In fact, if you don't hear from me for a while and it gets deleted you know why oh-my

So, it looks like we may have a " Tripawds Tropawcal Hopaway " in the planning. I'm serious Dan. That said, I couldn't plan my way out of a box (and I didn't discover that with age) but I will help in any way that I can smiley

If we're serious about planning, later 2011 would be better for me.  We're trying to finish our house between now and the summer.  Of course, you guys could plan something now and we could plan something this time next year also.

I'll try to make a couple calls to see how many rooms it would take to get a break, just for an FYI. Maybe we should all go down to Texas for a house raizing then we can all hop a ship from there!!!!! Are you building or remodeling?
