If we stay away that long, though, some of them give us an "do I know you?" look when we get back. We just have to make sure they have clean litter boxes and adequate food and water before we go. George Patterson Coffee is only a way of stealing time that should by rights belong to your slightly older self. |

I understand that. 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. My parents used to do that when they went to Las Vegas, NV. It was a 6-7 hour drive from Phoenix, dog went everywhere with them. Dog spent the night at the kennel, spent the day with them. Precursor to doggie daycare! |

Our dog (actually, he owns us but don't tell anyone) goes to Doggie
Daycare Bed and Breakfast when we travel. He gets to play for 4 hours in the AM, a meal at noon and then, at 2:00, 4 more hours until the next meal at 6:00. They separate the dogs into two groups. One group for smaller dogs and dogs that play nice... the other group is for bigger dogs and dogs that roughhouse a lot. We left our guy there for 4 days last Fall and, when we picked him up, he slept solid for the next two days. They said he ate vigorously, loved to chase and be chased and, in general, had a romping good time. John Blanche wrote: George Patterson wrote: I understand that.

Your computer clock has been set ahead about 7 weeks. - Barnyard Bob - |

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. Well, Jim, I'm sorry if that's the way you feel. Clearly there's more going on here than we know, and I hope it all works out for you and Gail. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination |

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. 2006 will be my 4th OSH. That *is* stopping and smelling the Jet-A for me (6 or 7 hr drive over from the Twin Cities). For me, it's not a show but more like a week at the lake. Hang out, relax, enjoy, sit, drink, relax, eat, walk around, drive home on Sunday - or whenever. Maybe you could knock off doing the forum (and all prep) and just enjoy the show this year - maybe leave Thursday morning? Just a thought. On the flip side I know what you mean about - let's try something different ....for once! This year, for me, will be two scheduled days at the flight line, in a white plastic chair, for oh ...about 6 hours each day - starting early in the morning. I'll walk around during the airshow. Always wanted to do that - this year I will. Montblack |

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? I'm available for dog-sitting. And by then, I'll have my new puppy and will be potyt-training also. It might be nice to have "a big sibling" to show how it's done! Doggie door to the backyard, too. And rides in the car to the pet store! And trips to the fenced in handball court at the school to play catch *very safely*, since they can't get out. All you have to do is get puppy to Denver. I'm not going to OSH this year on general principles. Hate camping, lost all interest in the dorms (after 4 years of it), can't get a decent hotel room. |

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. Jim, You might want to checkout: http://www.petloss.com/ Especially, the stuff about the Rainbow Bridge.
