EAA UWO Dorm Room (Air Conditioned) For Sale

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.

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.

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!

Work, other people's work, is an intolerable idea to a cat. Can you picture
cats herding sheep or agreeing to pull a cart? They will not inconvenience
themselves to the slightest degree.

Not _absoulutely_ true. We had a cat that was, on occasion, known to herd
dogs. When some 'stranger' made the mistake of trespassing on our property,
that is. It's rather funny to see a full-size standard poodle in full flight,
being pursued by a circa 20 lb tiger-striped American Shorthair. Especially
since the cat would abort the pursuit as soon as the dog crossed the property-
line, outgoing.
