common.

I've not had it often enough to be "attached" to
it, I've more often had Viet style Pho, which 
has more rice noodles than rice(grin).

More than likely a consistancy thing(grin)
Scuppers behaves better for me than he
does for Annie, but he KNOWS I'll always
react the same way. He's very well behaved
for the most part but being a terrier, he's
very "willful" and he keeps testing the
boundries that we have for him (grin).
Once he has been reminded that the
rules are still in place, he's usually good 
for the day. (with that rule at least!)
 
-> Slight break, horrors!  Charlotte was out playing and I forgot to feed Cash!
-> Normally she does that.  Sorry Cash, poor thing was famished!  2 hours 
late!
->
Scupper's usually gets fed twice a day, 
1/2 cup dry kibble in the morning (5:30 am)
and 1/2 cup of same at 5:30 pm. I swear
that dog can tell time! (grin). He does usually
get a few treats during the day for good 
behavior (and just cause he's so cute). 
 
-> Now he's full and Cash became Crash (as in on the sunroom sofa).
->
Scuppers is good at that too!

and the price is right!
 
-> Meantime.  Quiet whispers to Charlotte as we plot Don's birthday.  It's not

-> gutters (or scraping if the leaves arent too bad yet).  Should save time.

(3

-> - A bird seed bell so he can hang it then watch the cat and dog go nuts 
over

Sounds like  fun gifts! My dad's a big fisherman
so one year I bought a bunch of lures and using
floral tape, wrapped them onto "stems" and made
him a birthday "bouquet" of them! He loved it!
 I'm sure Don's going to have a great time
with his "goodies!" 
chat with you soon!
