Hi Janis,


>> Understand :)  I try to organize my daytime, but you know, things

 JK> > I know the feeling, all too well.

 JK> Yep... I feel like "Emily Litella", the character that Gilda Radner
 JK> played :) do you remember Saturday Night Live? that's what she always
 JK> said (in the skit she was in).."It's always something" (g).  Gilda was
 JK> such a great commedienne.

I never saw SNL when she was in it (and have seen very little
otherwise).  We tend to use the German "Immer Etwas"; basically the same
thing.


>> Ah you had a cocker? We had one for about 11 years.. poor guy was

 JK> > We adopted Sam in spring of 1994 when he was 4 1/2, from a family

 JK> After meeeting > Sam tho, she said that "she didn't want Any dog, she
 JK> wanted Sam".  So,

 JK> That is so neat :)  I'm glad for the dog ...

He was happy to go where he could get lots of attention from little
kids.


 JK> > he went there, to the delight of 3 little girls.  Now Deborah is
 JK> telling > us she has an opportunity to adopt another buff colored
 JK> cocker named
 JK> > Sam.  Don't know if she will or not but she said that if she does,
 JK> she > will brush it's teeth and teach it to sing, 2 things she did
 JK> with the > first Sam.

 JK> hahahaha.. that is so funny.. I did the same with Chester :)
 JK> Sometimes most to his dismay.. but that's why I named him Chester.. it
 JK> was after "HowlinWolf", the Blues singer, who's real name was Chester
 JK> Burnett :) I taught Chester to sing and howl just like Howlinwolf (bg)

I see. Our Sam was named before we got him and we figured at his age, he
didn't need to learn a new one. But, he did respond when Deborah called
him Spam.

 JK> And he really didn't like getting his teeth brushed, or even his coat
 JK> brushed .. boy do I remember that :)

Ours loved the attention.

>> petit mal seizures, and wouldn't recognize anyone...

 JK> > That must have been hard.  Our cocker was raised with lots of love

 JK> Yes, it was.. it first happened soon after we bought him.. he'd been
 JK> thing I ever heard was that pet store was forced to close because of a
 JK> law suit that someone had brought against them :)

Good, the store was shut down.  We liked to go to hte pet stores in the
mall but never bought any dogs or cats there. It was more just so the
girls, especailly Deborah, could get a "critter fix".


>> haha.. sounds like our cat.. she loves popcorn too... the labs get it
>> first though :)

 JK> > You just have to put it down where the labs can't get it.

 JK> Umm.. you can try :) :)  There are few places a tall lab can get to,
 JK> one darn way of the other.. they really are my "comic relief" :)

That's what we called Sam at times. (G)

 JK> > almost anything; it was funny to see him with something we'd think
 JK> "no, > he won't eat that".....and he did. Popcorn was his "vice"tho.

 JK> haha.. I bet.. it's like my male lab, Toby.. he eats and loves
 JK> bananas.. or any human food he can reach :)  Priscilla, our female, is
 JK> older, and she won't eat them, but she will eat grapes when 'given'
 JK> them ... :)  Then again, labs are weird.. (these are Black Labs).. one
 JK> of my friends told me that his lab once ate the boxsprings out of his
 JK> bed, and then neatly passed all those metal parts out through his butt


That was one hungry (or bored) dog!  But I should think it would have
hurt to pass all that sherp metal.

 JK> (g) (geez, ouch). Sounds scarey until you study the gut of the
 JK> Labrador Retriever.. they can digest just about anything but plastic
 JK> wrap.. it can get entangled in their intestines.  And they will indeed
 JK> make whatever they want edible by licking it until it's a goopy mess.
 JK> I saw it happen with the first two we bought in Lousiville (Priscilla
 JK> was one of them).. the two of those girls liked the walls until the

Don't need a goat with them around.


 JK> she was hit by a car when we were away at my Dad's funeral. We bought
