OK, so we care as much for our furry family as we do for each other.
Airplanes and dogs have equal weight in our eyes. And airplanes don't sleep on your feet on cold nights and lick your face awake in the morning. Sorry, Jay, there is more to life than cold aluminum airframes and hard steel engines. No, this is not an imposter scamming my addy, and if you had half a heart you'd understand how bad I'm hurting from my loss. Jim You're missing OSH '06 to train a puppy? No way. This *has* to be an imposter, scamming Jim's email address...right? |

It took me years to get over the last critter that I lost. If one of my critters needed expensive medical attention, and the only way I could pay for it was to sell the plane. The plane would be gone. I'm feeling for you, buddy. --- Jay Masino -- __!__ Jay and Teresa Masino ___(_)___ http://www.JayMasino.com ! ! ! http://www.OceanCityAirport.com http://www.oc-Adolfos.com |

steel engines. No, this is not an imposter scamming my addy, and if you had half a heart you'd understand how bad I'm hurting from my loss. Well, Jim, I've cried a thousand tears for my dogs over the years. When we had to put Princess down last year, we pulled the kids out of school so they could spend time with her at the vet's before, well, you know... We're STILL hurting about it. But, for crying out loud, OSH is six months away! I think it's safe to say that you can potty train any puppy by then? I'm not insensitive to your loss, but I think you're premature in cancelling your reservations. There are many people -- myself included -- that regard your forums as the ONLY "don't miss" forums at OSH, and it simply won't be the same without you and Gail... -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

![]() But, for crying out loud, OSH is six months away! I think it's safe to say that you can potty train any puppy by then? So that's it, is it Jay? Just potty train her and let the little ******* fend for herself for two weeks while we're (for her 6 month old mind) gone forever? Or stuff her in some kennel where if she's lucky they'll take her for a walk once a day? What doesn't your brain understand that for you what is a day-trip, a 2 hour flight up the boulevard, is for us a bitch of three days going, three days coming back, and a week at the airport? Two weeks out of an already shortened summer. Not to mention the two weeks before the show coming up with an idea for the forum, building it, testing it, drawing up the plans, making sure that the CDROM is burned right, stuffing the project in boxes that will fit in the airplane, schlepping it from North FondDuLac to the forums plaza and back, then schlepping it back home. I haven't had a summer to myself in 34 years, I haven't been to a summer airshow in California in too long to remember because it has always been Oshkosh, Oshkosh, Oshkosh. Well, dammit, it's time to stop and smell the roses ... and I am. I'm not insensitive to your loss, but I think you're premature in cancelling your reservations. There are many people -- myself included -- that regard your forums as the ONLY "don't miss" forums at OSH, and it simply won't be the same without you and Gail... Quite frankly, I don't give a hairy rat's ass what you think. And to hell with what Jim and Gail want. Jay is going to miss a forum that he likes. Isn't that just too frikkin' bad? It's not what Jim and Gail have decided to do, it's that Jay (the center of the known universe) will be inconvenienced. Jim |

We spent Christmas with my mother in Tennessee this year, which meant our coonhound spent five days in a kennel. She lost about 5 pounds -- just refused to eat. Next time we go, we're taking her with us and putting her in a kennel down there. Then we can visit her every day.

Next time we go, we're taking her with us and putting her in a kennel down there. Then we can visit her every day. We watch a number of friends' dogs for that very reason. Dogs go goofy in kennels. Sometimes one of our friends does a half and half. He kennels his dog, then we go over (daily) and take her with us to the local Dog Park and walk (run) her for a few hours. It's a 500 acre doggie Disneyland. It's only a 50 acre Dog Run - but we go 'exploring' in the adjacent open space. Other times we go over to friends' houses a couple of times a day - morning and evening. Still other times we have a dog with us for a week. We've been doing this for years. Always dogs, never a puppy. I got roped into taking care of four cats last year. Won't do that again! Montblack |
