Did I tell you, Menswear ? – I meant Men's Underwear!
Nothing like a bunch of free men's underwear to make people want to donate!
(Bwahahaha!)
Now, that my cover's blown – there goes my comedy career.

I swear Jim! You'll use any excuse to show your modeling pics! You forgot the best one!
Not to confuse anyone...you can use the gift certificate toward anything we offer, not just underwear. We were just kidding around. But the underwear model is Jim!

FINALLY - I now know Cometdog's Mom's name!!! I saw someone mentioned your name once and I said to myself "who is that? I don't know who that is?"
Tracy, Maggie's Mom
Maggie was amputated for soft tissue sarcoma 10-20-09
Maggie lost her battle with kidney disease on 8-24-13
Ge'Lena and Jim,
Wow! These are quite the modeling pics!! To quote the line in the movie When Harry Met Sally...."I'll have what she's having" and I won't elaborate any further! )
Awesome promotion on Men's Underwear!
Kami
My sweet golden Mackenzie. She became my angel on Dec 29, 2010 at the age of 8 1/2 although she was always my angel from the time we brought her home. She was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in Sept 2009 and officially became a tripawd (front leg) on Nov 5, 2009. She will be forever in my heart and now she's running free with all of our other tripawd heroes. I love you Mackenzie!

René is rolling on the floor laughing. No, really.
But seriously, if anyone is in the market for some fine new threads, they could get a free fresh supply of some mighty fine briefs. They'd go great with etgayle's socks!

Comet said: So, will you make a little promise (and this goes for Fortis' dad, too and all the men folk out there!) that you will let us know when you are having a tough time? I just don't want you guys to think it's a Hen Fest here on the boards!
Can you say Victoria's Secret Lingerie …..admin. can I post some pictures? Please please!!!!!
Seriously what a very kind offer Ge'Lena and Gayle have made. 
Really makes me question my response under anything goes…A Random Rant
I'm with Kami. I'll leave it at that.
... or should it be 
Holly joined the world of tripawds on 12/29/2009. She has a big little sister, Zuzu, who idolizes Holly and tries to make all of her toys into tripawds in Holly's honor. And she's enjoying life one hop at a time!

By all means, we can't wait. But note, the mod pawd is mostly hens, with the power to peck posts.

said to myself "who is that? I don't know who that is?"
Wow! So, I'm not the only one that says that when my name is mentioned! And then everyone is so nice to spell it correctly! An apostrope wasn't enough for my parents - "Oh, what hell – let's throw in a capital "L" !".
Fortis's Dad – Don't be messing up my sexy male model post! I know your real name…don't make me write it!
How about some Italian Midi Briefs, girls!??? They come in black, white and grey! OO-LA-LA!

AAAAHHAA!!! there are so many comments rattling around in my mostly vacant brain - I'm (almost) afraid to put them out there !!
Ge'Lena ... your comedy career is safe ... your "Tripawds face" will always be CometDog... who is, by the way, very funny.
I wanted to say something about having to buy the briefs in order to get the model - but then y'all went and "revealed" that it was Jim - and we all know that Jim is a happily attached man .... so .... yeah ..... I guess I'm going back to "Plentyoffish.com" ... (sigh)
(BTW - what a great idea !!)

"It came to me that every time I lose a dog they take a piece of my heart with them. And every new dog who comes into my life gifts me with a piece of their heart. If I live long enough, all the components of my heart will be dog, and I will become as generous and loving as they are."

EEEEEK!
My Dad's been busy modeling again I see. I wonder where he finds the time to work out AND model like that?

I don't need excuses to flaunt what I got, but in the interest of full disclosure, it is only fair to share a more current shoot ...
