Oh Ge'Lena....thank you thank you thank you.....I have decided after looking at some pics here that Magic has some white shepherd in him...there are two pics that look like they could be his relatives in a lot of respects!

I just didn't know how to post those pics....I changed my avatar but then it wouldn't show up and then it did, but the one saying I'm online is still the old pic ....SO I TRULY THANK YOU FOR SAVING MY PICTURE BEHIND!!!!  I will sometime get this!  And you got the pics to look like closeups...I hate to say it, but my hubby was the camera and camera to computer person and now I'm just trying to figure it out.

I love the doggie/kitty door....both animals have now learned to use it...before it was..if it is black it swings (it was a black rubber mat that was the last swinging door part) and if it is clear it is the glass door, don't bother.  So they have had to relearn that and now they put their noses at the bottom...if there is air it swings!!

One downside that I'm trying to figure out how to cure...I notice that the flies and mosquitos and those huge flying things that may or may not be mosquito eaters have some intelligent members who fly to the bottom and in the house.  I thought about weights on the bottom and of course the always popular magnets would be really good if the animals all learned to push...but OJ is getting kinda frail and I'm really not sure he would push anything that presented a challenge...since this was the first door of this kind the screen door guy made, it is really an experiment!!  And when the swinging plastic (it is heavy plastic, the whole thing...the top is NOT glass) gets really yucky,l he has the measurements to just make another piece!  I think maybe something that keeps the bottom formed like a metal rod, which would then keep it from allowing critters in might work....but for right now I'm glad they use it and I have a fly swatter in every room.

That isn't a dog park incidentally, it is Magic's mom flirting with a ticket for off leash dog at a regular park....the only good thing is that there are an awful lot of us and I plan on playing the disabled card....not that it will work.

Thanks again Ge'Lena....you ROCK

Oh, and the little friend is Shiloh, a chichuahua (the second one that is nice) that is NOT neutered and instead of dominance humping, I think it may really be a sexual humping....he is in LOVE with Magic's leg...well in lust maybe.  This is NOT the first little guy he met, Pepper...I will try to get a pic of him...he is just a sweetheart but Magic likes to drool on him and lick him so now I carry a hanky to wipe him off (so his owner doesn't have to take him home and bathe him.....he's a new dog owner)

i typed a reply, then closed the window, oopsie...now I can't even post without a keeper...NOW I see the right avatar everywhere...thank you....I shall read and try to figure out how to post the pics....

okey dokey let's see if this works...if it does, it is another victory for Ge'Lena and the CometWorld!!

it certainly is always something .... like the mysterious black oil like stuff that all of a sudden is in the siide yard...no poop smell, no barf smell and I would be in a total panic if it wasn't for the fact this happened LAST YEAR prior to the C....took a scoop in for testing and NO ONE ever figured out what it was.  Never happened again til today.  dang it.  If this was the first time I had seen this we would be at the vet on an emergency basis...he has had some black over brown poop, but this isn't poop.

Here are Magic and OJ on the den bed prior to the surgery, I hope. (still learning this)  He is considerably heavier but so is OJ!!

this was even before the bone biopsy and see the licked spot on that right leg.....he was preparing for them to stick a needle there!!
