I was just wondering the same thing :)

1:24 am

flosey

got ready for bed and everyone left!

1:24 am

flosey

except you, sorry Dee

1:25 am

flosey

should have said everyone seemed to have left

((flosey)))

1:27 am

grannyrose

does three count as a group hug?

1:28 am

VolleymomDee

absolutely

1:28 am

grannyrose

in that case...GROUP HUG!!

1:29 am

flosey

nice

1:29 am

VolleymomDee

How are you feeling, rose?

1:30 am

grannyrose

not too bad. went to physio who worked on my lower back. a bit tender when i came home, but seems good now.

1:30 am

grannyrose

and how are you going? have the injections and therapy helped you?

1:30 am

VolleymomDee

Excellent!

1:31 am

VolleymomDee

Hanging in there. Having some times of less pain, so the therapy must have helped some.

1:31 am

VolleymomDee

Hey, I forgot to ask the other day, what kind of surgery did pug have?

1:32 am

grannyrose

so pleased, dee. may you continue to improve, dear

1:32 am

grannyrose

repair of a ventral hernia.

1:32 am

VolleymomDee

How is she doing?

1:33 am

grannyrose

better now, at least that is what she said yesterday. i have emailed her. waiting for a reply.

1:34 am

VolleymomDee

Bet she is glad the surgery is over with. Flosey, didn't you have a daughter or daughter-in-law who had surgery?

1:34 am

VolleymomDee

ca 7

1:37 am

flosey

yes Dee, daughter had c. tumor on her brain removed followed by proton therapy (not done in Canada) so had to go to Seattle for that

1:38 am

VolleymomDee

How is she doing?

1:38 am

flosey

fortunately, they have friends there and was able to stay with them (and help with a new baby)

1:39 am

flosey

she has been fine throughout, back home now, repeat MRI every 6 months for a while just to be sure

1:39 am

VolleymomDee

Wow! Lots of stress on her physically, emotionally, and mentally ... That is a lot to deal with.

1:41 am

VolleymomDee

Bet that was tough on you and your hubby, too.

1:41 am

flosey

but hubby was enormous support - he, 5 yr old son went with her throughout all interviews appts. etc - amazing how much a 5 year old can take in -and being kept 'in the loop' he understood why Mommie had ot be away throughout the treatments

1:42 am

flosey

of course it was stressful but had every reason to believe she'd come through fine - she was even able to drive home weekends

1:42 am

VolleymomDee

That was wise... not sure what I would have done... my generation tends to keep those things secret.

1:42 am

VolleymomDee

Really amazing.

1:43 am

flosey

I remember how much I resented not understanding when my mom was ill on a couple of occasions - everything was hush hush and really bothered me

1:44 am

flosey

it's amazing how much kids can understand

1:44 am

VolleymomDee

That same situation happened to me when I was in 5th grade... "secrecy" wasn't total, and I heard just enough to scare me to death...my mom tried to do the same thing when I was in my 30's and she had cancer... I found out by accident...

1:45 am

flosey

oh Dee, how horrible to find out that way

1:46 am

flosey

and she really needed your support too

1:46 am

VolleymomDee

She just thought that all things health were private...she didn't realize how supportive we could be

1:46 am

flosey

so true, my mom was much the same

1:46 am

VolleymomDee

We also lived 2,000 miles apart, so she didn't want to "worry" us...

1:47 am

VolleymomDee

That is how they were taught...

1:47 am

flosey

yes

1:47 am

flosey

Mom's parents never lived far from us

1:47 am

Lizlin

Hi again - so happy that your daughter is doing well, Flosey.

1:48 am

VolleymomDee

Funny how times have changed.

1:48 am

VolleymomDee

re-hi, liz!!

1:48 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} liz

1:48 am

Lizlin

:)

1:48 am

Lizlin

Hi and hugs to you all

1:48 am

flosey

thanks Liz - and her (kept black) hair is now coming in gray and gives her a much softer look

1:49 am

Lizlin

Does she agree?

1:49 am

flosey

yes - is quite happy to do away with the blacko!

1:49 am

flosey

kept it that way because she wore it long

1:50 am

Lizlin

:)

1:50 am

VolleymomDee

Hair stylists don't know how to color hair properly anymore...

1:50 am

flosey

isn't that strange!

1:51 am

Lizlin

What makes you say that?

1:51 am

VolleymomDee

Colors are way too stark

1:51 am

flosey

my other daughter coloured it for her

1:51 am

Lizlin

I'm happy with the way my hair is coloured - less happy with the cut!

1:52 am

VolleymomDee

I am now, Liz, but it took me a very long time to find someone good. I drive 2 hours because she is so good with color.

1:52 am

Lizlin

This is a relatively new stylist for me - hope she'll learn my hair if I stay with her. My more regular stylist went to the UK for a while - sick father - she cut well but coloured less well!

1:52 am

flosey

mine is all white!

1:53 am

Lizlin

Mine's probably a good shade of silver!

1:53 am

VolleymomDee

Yours is beautiful, flosey.

1:53 am

Lizlin

True - I still love that pic of you, Crossy and Joso.

1:53 am

grannyrose

i'm being honest. have left it uncoloured since just after we were married. i coloured it pink for breast cancer day, and shaved it all off on the day, with people sponsoring me in order to raise funds for breast cancer research.

1:53 am

flosey

ah, wondered where you'd seen it!

1:53 am

VolleymomDee

I am still in the soft blonde phase. I didn't want to have white hair yet or platinum or yellow...

1:54 am

VolleymomDee

Wow, rose, that was brave!

1:54 am

flosey

wow, wtg Rose

1:54 am

Lizlin

I've coloured my hair since my early 20s - just haven't stopped.

1:54 am

Lizlin

Amazing thing to do, Rose.

1:54 am

VolleymomDee

ditto that, liz

1:55 am

grannyrose

it was very liberating dee. have you ever walked in the rain with such short hair. the feeling on your scalp is amazing.

1:55 am

VolleymomDee

That would probably be liberating. I have always had a major fear of going bald... doing it by choice ... wow

1:56 am

flosey

I coloured mine in my 50's + for a while, then gave up

1:56 am

Lizlin

I started with highlights and it developed from there.

1:56 am

flosey

went white young

1:57 am

flosey

as did my Mom

1:57 am

VolleymomDee

funny how that is definitely genetic - when you turn white...

1:58 am

flosey

yes, mom coloured hers for a long time

1:58 am

grannyrose

my hair went white in the front very early too, like about 35. coloured for years. at the back i am a rather boring grey.

1:58 am

Lizlin

Started going grey in 30s - sped up drastically mid-30s when my mum got ill and died.

1:59 am

rururocks

<--not a lot of gray hair

1:59 am

flosey

did your mom go white early, Liz?

1:59 am

VolleymomDee

Interesting.. stress definitely affects hair. I think at some point, hair stops taking the color.

1:59 am

VolleymomDee

re-hi, ru!

1:59 am

VolleymomDee

fireworks, finally

1:59 am

Lizlin

I think so, Flosey - she coloured her hair too.

1:59 am

flosey

wtg Dee

1:59 am

Lizlin

Congrats, Dee.

1:59 am

VolleymomDee

1:59 am

Lizlin

Hi Ru.

1:59 am

flosey

hi again Ru

2:00 am

rururocks

I do have some gray hair though..

2:01 am

VolleymomDee

I started getting some gray / white around the temples, but have no idea how much would be that color, since I have colored for so long :)

2:01 am

grannyrose

WTG DEE!!!

2:01 am

VolleymomDee

ty, rose

2:01 am

Lizlin

OMG! 2 children struck by lightning on the way with their mum to vote :( Massive but very short storm here an hour ago.

2:02 am

VolleymomDee

oh, no!

2:02 am

grannyrose

watching the news now, liz.

2:03 am

Lizlin

Hubby reading news on computer.

2:03 am

flosey

how horrible!

2:03 am

Lizlin

What an awful thing to happen and apologies for OMG - not something I usually write!

2:04 am

grannyrose

no apologies needed liz

2:04 am

grannyrose

it is such tragic news

2:05 am

Lizlin

I know that really but I actually dislike the OMG acronym!

2:05 am

Lizlin

Totally tragic. Nothing anyone could do.

2:06 am

rururocks

did all three get killed?

2:07 am

Lizlin

Most likely - not sure. Hubby read that they're working to save the kids and that they've been taken to hospital. But the storm was huge.

2:08 am

Lizlin

Must've been a massive charge.

2:08 am

rururocks

very sad then

2:08 am

VolleymomDee

Sure hope they can be saved.

2:08 am

Lizlin

Very sad and quite shocking.

2:09 am

Lizlin

Apparently mum and dad were also struck.

2:09 am

Lizlin

Rose is watching the TV news - perhaps she'll update.

2:10 am

grannyrose

no mention yet

2:10 am

VolleymomDee

That is one of the freakiest accidents I have ever heard..

2:11 am

Lizlin

http://tinyurl.com/kzb74j7

2:12 am

flosey

get a message saying does not match any docs

2:13 am

Lizlin

Possibly because it's a local newspaper - the link worked for me from the chog.

2:13 am

flosey

ah, ok

2:14 am

grannyrose

me too

2:14 am

Lizlin

You too like me or like Flosey?

2:17 am

grannyrose

like you liz, i can access the link. i tried opening it, and copying and pasting in an email. didn't work. :-(

2:17 am

Lizlin

Wonder why

2:18 am

VolleymomDee

Well, I need to get going. Hoping to bake a bit tomorrow; we are supposed to get 6 - 12 inches of snow in the next 2 days, so we'll see how off the weatherman is :)

2:18 am

VolleymomDee

Hugs to all!!!

2:18 am

flosey

good night Dee, sweet sleep

2:18 am

Lizlin

Sleep well and stay safe - hugs

2:18 am

grannyrose

aaaaggghhhh, on the news...they are talking about global warming....IT'S CLIMATE CHANGE!!! for goodness sake, these are supposed to be professionals.

2:19 am

grannyrose

sweet dreams, dee. xoxox

2:19 am

VolleymomDee

(((rose, liz, flosey)))) See you tomorrow :)

2:19 am

Lizlin

I've e mailed you the link, Rose. It works from the e mail for me, when I copy / paste into url. Does it work for you?

2:20 am

Lizlin

!

2:20 am

Lizlin

That was supposed to read - Climate Change - Aaargh!

2:21 am

grannyrose

forwarded that link to flosey, liz. thanx for that

2:21 am

Lizlin

Hope it works for her - not that it's very cheery stuff to read.

2:21 am

flosey

thanks Rose, will check it now

2:22 am

grannyrose

yup, liz, it opened quite nicely.

2:23 am

Lizlin

I don't know if there's something to prevent local stuff transferring to other countries. Perhaps don would know.

2:23 am

zoozzoom

I copied it from chog and pasted it into another window with no problems here.

2:24 am

Lizlin

Hi Zooz :)

2:24 am

Lizlin

So that answers that!

2:24 am

zoozzoom

Tragic story and hi, Liz & all :-)

2:25 am

Lizlin

One of those freakish accidents.

2:25 am

grannyrose

g'day zooz

2:26 am

grannyrose

okay...as zooz did. the link in chog has to be copied and pasted into a new window.

2:26 am

Lizlin

OK - taking a break now. Might ca 5 up with you later. Hugs

2:26 am

grannyrose

xoxox liz girl

2:26 am

zoozzoom

I remember there was a football match in Africa and the field got struck with lightening and a lot of the players just fell to the ground.Some needed heart massage and alike.

2:26 am

flosey

thanks Rose, all so sad

2:26 am

zoozzoom

That was a long time ago now though.

2:27 am

zoozzoom

Nice to see you, Liz.

2:28 am

grannyrose

what a freak accident, as liz said. don said there would have been a massive discharge of electricity. so, even if the people had not been touching the shelter at all, the electricity in the air would still have reached them.

2:33 am

zoozzoom

Anyone else here read any of 'Daphne Du Maurier' works?

2:34 am

grannyrose

have read a few.

2:34 am

zoozzoom

I am reading a play called 'September Tide'

2:35 am

zoozzoom

I rather like her style of telling a story so far..although the man in the story is a right pig by the sounds of it.lol

2:35 am

grannyrose

a play??? du maurier wrote plays?? this i have to look into...i have only read books/novels.

2:36 am

zoozzoom

It is called 'September Tide' rose

2:37 am

grannyrose

was it her only play?

2:38 am

zoozzoom

Ahh that I am afraid I do not know, Rose.

2:38 am

grannyrose

looking it up as we speak

2:38 am

zoozzoom

Cool..let me know what you find.

2:41 am

zoozzoom

I found that she wrote three plays, Rose.

2:42 am

zoozzoom

http://tinyurl.com/yq9s4a

2:44 am

grannyrose

ditto zooz, what an interesting site wikipedia is. rebecca, the years between and september tide. must look outfor them.

2:45 am

zoozzoom

It is a rather small book.But very well written.

2:46 am

grannyrose

ugh, the asian world cup is on. our team is about to play korea.

2:46 am

zoozzoom

Good luck!

2:46 am

grannyrose

* giggle *

2:48 am

grannyrose

mate, this particular form of football leaves me eye-rollingly bored out of my brain. i'm sorry if that alarms you.

2:50 am

zoozzoom

I am not a football fan, Rose, so your comment made no impact on me what so ever..lol

2:51 am

zoozzoom

In fact I would of rolled my eyes too!

2:51 am

grannyrose

*giggle* we think alike then.

2:53 am

grannyrose

oh gross, don says vietnam police have stopped trucks from china containing 3 tonnes of live cats on their way to vietnamese restaurants. that's a lot of pussy....lol

2:53 am

zoozzoom

Sorry to be a bore but the money the football players get paid here in the UK (some around Â£175,000 per week) is way over the top whilst people who saves lives as in emergency services and alike get next to peanuts!

2:54 am

zoozzoom

Oh the poor things....Oh, Rose, Can't take you anywhere..lol

2:54 am

flosey

something very wrong about that, I'd say - especially when they're called on to save the life of one of these players!!

2:54 am

grannyrose

*shakes head* same here, zooz. do you know over here a person on an assembly production line gets paid 3 times what the critical care nurse is paid. go figure.

2:56 am

grannyrose

sorry zooz....but you know me...

2:56 am

zoozzoom

Agreed, Flosey & Rose.They can also get beaten up by the drunks on the wards they work at too..So disgusting.

2:56 am

flosey

wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that it might be a very boring job?

2:56 am

zoozzoom

I do, Rose...lol..I do :-)

2:57 am

grannyrose

don says he never knows what is going to come out of my mouth. it amuses him no end.

2:58 am

zoozzoom

Teehee! it is nice to know you two are so made for each other..lol

2:58 am

grannyrose

you are probably right, flosey. but i do think someone who holds a human life in their hands is worth more than someone who screws a bolt onto a screw.

2:59 am

flosey

ah yes, for sure Rose

2:59 am

grannyrose

nope, that's a bolt onto a nut

2:59 am

zoozzoom

hahaha!

2:59 am

zoozzoom

Get it right, Rose..Teehee!

3:00 am

grannyrose

well it is a boy thing....bolts, screws, nuts, domes, wings...they all look the same to me...* collapses giggling uncontrollably *

3:01 am

zoozzoom

Rose knows how to save lives put needles into arms...set up a saline drip. But ask her to put a Bolt onto a nut and she is all fingers & thumbs!

3:02 am

grannyrose

and your point is????

3:02 am

zoozzoom

Keep saving lives :-)

3:03 am

grannyrose

what would you rather have beside you when you are in a recovery room, in pain, vomiting your heart out?

3:03 am

zoozzoom

A nurse to hold my hand and say everything is going to be OK :-)

3:03 am

grannyrose

and did i mention bleeding like a stuck pig? hmmm...just how does a stuck pig bleed??

3:05 am

grannyrose

i wonder if that phrase refers to the slaughter of pigs at an abattoir ?

3:05 am

flosey

so true, zooz

3:05 am

grannyrose

have a degree in hand holding. also hair smoothing and cuddles.

3:06 am

flosey

all so comforting when everything hurts

3:07 am

zoozzoom

To show that you really care about the person you are looking after when they are ill, So helps them to recover more quickly.

3:07 am

grannyrose

* smiling at you * flosey...it is also a requirement that you recognise what is happening to a patient before they know it is happening.

3:08 am

flosey

true, rose, the pain might be here but related to something elsewhere!

3:09 am

zoozzoom

That makes sense, Rose, you would of seen it many many times and know what to expect.The person who is ill probably would be the first time and does not have a clue what is going on.Vital to show confidence and care goes a long way.

3:09 am

zoozzoom

Sorry i am rambling on here.

3:10 am

zoozzoom

Back to the grid.

3:10 am

grannyrose

i had one young buck in his early 20's. woke up extremely agitated, as they do. i stepped up to the side of the bed, cradled his head to my chest and cuddled him, with the reassuring words, it's okay, you are safe. to which he said...gee you have big boobs as he snuggled in. i nearly laughed my head off.

3:10 am

flosey

34 to go and I should get to bed, just after 1: am

3:11 am

flosey

I'll be back in the morning to finish up - goodnight Rose and Zooz

3:11 am

flosey

and anyone else still around

3:11 am

zoozzoom

Have a deep sleep, Flosey :-)

3:11 am

grannyrose

sweet dreams flosey. and dinner is ready.

3:11 am

flosey

tks, zooz, would be heavenly

3:12 am

zoozzoom

lol that is dare I say it..typical male!

3:12 am

grannyrose

ca5 you all later.

3:13 am

zoozzoom

Bye, Rose, Have a restful night.

3:28 am

grannyrose

and back...oh yummy...zucchini and bacon fruttata.

3:29 am

zoozzoom

Sounds very nice, Rose. Not had any breakfast yet!

3:31 am

grannyrose

yeah, zooz. am thinking fruttata is not a breakfast food......lol...so what's on your agenda for today?

3:34 am

zoozzoom

Drink the rest of my tea whilst I babble for a bit more.Go to my parents and see if they need anything from the shops and tidy around a bit.buy some food..come home..eat when hungry..and then come back to babble.Such an exciting life i have..NOT..lol

3:36 am

grannyrose

hey, it's a life....lol....zooz you are so good to your parents. btw, the father has died, the mother and two kiddies are hanging in there.

3:37 am

zoozzoom

Yes they are in a serious way.Not a good outcome really.Very sad.

3:44 am

Lizlin

Just read that the father took a direct hit - then it travelled to the rest of the family. Kids 12 mths and 18 mths.

3:45 am

zoozzoom

Yes not good is it.poor youngsters. I hope the mother survives.

3:46 am

Lizlin

Hope so.

3:48 am

Lizlin

BBL - just popped back in for a minute. Good to see you, Zooz. Have a good day.

3:48 am

zoozzoom

you too, Liz :-)

3:49 am

sprite

3:49 am

3:50 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Sprite & Happy Birthday to your daughter!

3:50 am

sprite

*hugs rose* Hello dear friend. Sorry to be away this morning. We gave Caya her presents just now and I need to get her some birthday groceries.

3:51 am

zoozzoom

Close to mine, Sprite. Mine is the 11th!

3:53 am

grannyrose

okay, thanx....brain cells are humming here

3:53 am

sprite

it sure does fly, zooz. Arriving at a time where we can stop parenting, though never stop being parents.

3:53 am

sprite

awwww good birthday, zooz!

3:53 am

zoozzoom

You will never stop being a parent, Sprite no matter what their age is..lol

3:54 am

sprite

exactly, lol.

3:54 am

grannyrose

i think something must be wrong with me...i stepped back years ago. left my three to their own devices. but you are right...i am humming along in the background....lol

I am fine. It is cold here too, but not as cold as in your country.

5:32 am

sukee

Yes, woke up to -13C

5:32 am

sprite

ouch! We are just a little below freezing point. And no wind today, so actualy it is rather pleasant outside

5:33 am

sukee

It's windy here too and that makes my apartment cooler too, even with the heat blaring.

5:34 am

I bet. A steady wind can drain the heat right out of a house.

5:34 am

I'm ready for spring...

Our energy providers have finally been forced to admit that because of world energy prices dropping they are now overcharging us and are going to reduce the prices - but not till the end of April????Think most of us will have turned our heating off by thern!

I only ask, because a few years ago, on a website on which I write (www.ciao.co.uk) one of the most prominent members there faked her own death. And that of the non-existent baby she wasn't actually pregnant with.

10:54 am

rururocks

fake deaths, fake people, dual identities..

So lucky to be bililngual!

1:07 pm

penquis

yes, came in handy when traveling...

1:08 pm

cybernan

had to learn french the hard way - and still don't know it very well -- not grammatically correct anyway. However in France the people are just pleased that you try and don't worry about it being "broken"

1:08 pm

penquis

my oral language is not very good because i don't use it anymore....but my oral and reading comprehension are still quite good...

1:08 pm

penquis

i had french in school from first grade through 10th....had enough by then!

1:08 pm

hego

I have some French and Spanish, but reallyonly speak Italian.

1:09 pm

I had business in Italy so I had to learn.

1:09 pm

Penq, if you know one Latin language, the rest are easy.

1:10 pm

cybernan

naples to the amalfi coast, then to rome, then florence, venice, a cruise on the adriatic and back to vencie, followed by vienna and prague

1:11 pm

penquis

yes, spanish was pretty easy....german and japanese not so much...

1:11 pm

hego

Nice!

1:11 pm

1:14 pm

You will find it very different Penq.

1:14 pm

penquis

yes, hence the tour...not many decisions to make, lol....

1:14 pm

hego

Simpler, for sure.

1:14 pm

cybernan

only because you have to rely on tours -- husband is already complaining about having our own car for the first 4 days to get around

1:14 pm

bichon

My dream is to go to Madrid to see the Prado. Theen I will have been at all the most famous art museums in the world

1:15 pm

hego

Spain is hard to do on your own due to the fact that the dites are very far apart. Lots of driving.

1:15 pm

hego

It's wonderful Bichon!

1:15 pm

72 Temple Owl

i have a friend who winters a few weeks in spain she says it is very affordable

1:15 pm

cybernan

we have probably visited a few of the same places, bichon

1:15 pm

hego

You would not be disappointed.

1:16 pm

penquis

yes....it's hard for me to find people who both want to travel and can afford to....so i accepted this invitation from the friend i went to italy with in 2008....same tour company...

1:16 pm

Nan, I will be cruising the Adriatic myself in June.

1:33 pm

hego

Look at her!!

1:33 pm

Aloyisius

young at heart, hego.. lol

1:34 pm

cybernan

IN June: shorts or capri's (2 pair), 1 skirt, walking shoes, sandals that can double for both a lot of walking and as dress shoes, 6 t-shirts or blouses(ncluding one with bling), 1 light jacket and 1 cardigan (to layer), umbrella. That, with socks, undies and toiletries should fit in a 24 -25" suitcase -- all your really want to haul around! The only meals that you really need to have a skirt for is the captain's dinner. Hubby didn't even take a jacket and tie. Just one dress casual outfit for him. It will be really hot in June so don't forget to pack a crushable sun hat or plan to buy a throwaway when you land. Have a wonderful time -- we did the Amsterdam to budapest one and you are doing the best part.

Hi Doren!

1:43 pm

1:43 pm

rururocks

:D

1:43 pm

hego

Hi Welki

1:43 pm

Aloyisius

hi welki

1:43 pm

welki

came in to see if you were here, ru - having same problems with baxter again, that you've had with dylan. vet gave me vanectyl, but suggested benadryl in between - is that what you give dylan?

1:43 pm

rururocks

penquis started it Doren..I'm innocent

1:43 pm

penquis

hi welki...

1:44 pm

hego

Doren knows you're never innocent!

1:44 pm

rururocks

I do Benadryl twice a day and he's on cortisone too.. and two anti-biotics right now..

1:44 pm

welki

oh - and he's now taking salmon oil, vitaman e (and an egg in his food 3x week)

1:44 pm

welki

vitaman! reminds me of i love lucy :)

1:45 pm

rururocks

I have allergy drops from UC Davis for him to build up his immune system

1:45 pm

welki

vita-meeta-vegimin!

1:45 pm

rururocks

Doren does in fact know I'm innocent.. just ask her :D

1:45 pm

cybernan

ta 6/21 please?

1:45 pm

hego

OMG! I thought she was talking about a person!

1:45 pm

welki

they never did find out what he's allergic to, did they? can't figure out w/baxter

1:46 pm

welki

hego - sorry, it's about our four legged friends

1:46 pm

rururocks

no.. we went for a comprehensive coverage of several candidates that are bothering him

1:46 pm

Aloyisius

passes smelling salts to hego

1:46 pm

welki

(and apologies for hi-jacking chat)

1:46 pm

hego

All the cadidates bother me.

1:46 pm

hego

candidates.lol

1:46 pm

hego

ty Aloy

1:47 pm

welki

*sigh* so we're sort of in the same doggie-boat. he's still on the royal canin?

1:47 pm

rururocks

yes

1:47 pm

welki

it's so difficult to groom him

1:47 pm

rururocks

and bathing him at least once a week helps too..

1:47 pm

hego

Saw Welki's hubby dropping egg into his food 3 x a week.

1:47 pm

rururocks

I have to do Dylan every Saturday

1:48 pm

hego

and bathing him atleast once a week..

1:48 pm

welki

i've tried sensitive shampoo, tea tree oil shampoo - it's so dry here, i have to make sure i don't overdo it

1:48 pm

hego

I'll stop now.

1:48 pm

rururocks

the fish oil will help him welki

1:48 pm

rururocks

there are medicated shampoos too from the vet that are helpful

1:48 pm

welki

i give it to him 2x a day, hasn't made a difference in the past month

1:49 pm

rururocks

it's a total drag isn't it

1:49 pm

welki

i feel so friggin' bad for him

1:49 pm

rururocks

me too

1:49 pm

welki

he's on the canin venison, right?

1:49 pm

rururocks

I took him off the venison to the hydrolyzed protein

1:50 pm

rururocks

he was throwing up the venison

1:50 pm

welki

kibble or can?

1:50 pm

rururocks

kibble

1:50 pm

welki

that's weird, since the venison is supposed to also be a gastro-formula

1:50 pm

rururocks

yeah.. well.. ya know..

1:51 pm

welki

yep. they defy logic.

1:51 pm

rururocks

I had Dylan on Apoquel which was helping.. but then his immune system crashed and he got a bad viral thing

1:52 pm

rururocks

he was one of two dogs out of Davis on Apoquel who had this bad reaction.. out of thousands of dogs

1:52 pm

welki

i've read about apoquel, my vet hasn't

1:52 pm

welki

hehe - he might have read about it, he hasn't suggested we switch from the vanectyl yet

1:52 pm

rururocks

it's expensive.. but worth a shot..

1:53 pm

rururocks

it knocked back the itchiness by 70%

1:53 pm

welki

i'll give him a call on monday; he's a great vet, i trust him 100%

1:53 pm

rururocks

it takes 6 weeks to be effective

1:54 pm

rururocks

i'm lucky I have fantastic vets

1:55 pm

rururocks

I drive an hour and a half to get to them though

1:55 pm

hego

That's quite a commute.

1:57 pm

rururocks

yep.. but it's worth it

1:58 pm

hego

If it helps, for sure.

1:58 pm

welki

just spoke w/clinic - they stock the canin HP and the tech hasn't heard of apoquel (might not be available up here). my primary vet's gone for the day, but he's got a note on his desk to find out about it - so will speak with him on monday

1:58 pm

welki

i really appreciate the information, ru

1:59 pm

rururocks

sure.. happy to help.. we're in the same boat. I think Dylan is a more serious case though.. he's in the top 1%

1:59 pm

rururocks

it's a constant battle for me

2:00 pm

hego

Dylan is lucky to have you Ru.

2:00 pm

welki

i know he's had a rough go of it, and so have you.

2:00 pm

Uneaixoise

soooo sorry, ru -- sounds miserable for poor Dylan :-(

2:00 pm

rururocks

at one point I thought I was going to freak out.. but it's more under control right now

2:01 pm

welki

freak out because he was scratching himself raw?

2:01 pm

rururocks

thanks une

2:01 pm

welki

with baxter, it's all over, not just in one spot - same with dylan?

2:02 pm

Aloyisius

so hard to see your furry friends miserable

2:02 pm

rururocks

yes.. and skin infections and staph infections and bald spots ... with Dylan it's his whole body

2:02 pm

penquis

me 6/21?

2:02 pm

rururocks

His father never had a hot spot in his life either.

2:02 pm

Uneaixoise

oh, man, that's just heartbreaking . . .

2:02 pm

rururocks

roast beef + mr. gore

2:02 pm

welki

2:02 pm

penquis

nm....found it...

2:03 pm

rururocks

his mother is an allergic dog

2:03 pm

rururocks

his father was such a great dog too

2:03 pm

Uneaixoise

later, all -- heading out to pick up sweet mastiff boy on 3-day journey from Florida to Wisconsin :-)

2:04 pm

welki

2:04 pm

rururocks

2:08 pm

hego

good clue, dumb word

2:08 pm

penquis

ty ru...

2:09 pm

penquis

agreed, hego...

2:09 pm

cybernan

have never heard of your group welki

2:09 pm

hego

:)

2:09 pm

hego

I think just an American thing Nan.

2:10 pm

Aloyisius

thanks for the fun chat, all.. must scoot - ciao for now

2:10 pm

cybernan

but if they are the group that protests the seal hunt they aren't very popular with our atlantic fishermen --- too many seals have killed the cod fishing

2:10 pm

penquis

i am done... :oD

2:10 pm

72 Temple Owl

i though they were international

2:10 pm

hego

WTG Penq!!!!

2:10 pm

penquis

the group that protests eating lobster...

2:10 pm

hego

Bye Aloy!!

2:11 pm

penquis

ty!

2:11 pm

hego

I think they would protest that Nan.

2:11 pm

hego

Eating lobster, really?

2:12 pm

hego

people for the ethical treatment of animals, I believe.

2:12 pm

cybernan

I think they tend to forget that humans have their place in the food chain too!

2:12 pm

cybernan

ma 6, please?

2:13 pm

hego

I wish folks would be as conscientious in protecting children.

2:13 pm

cybernan

agreed, hego

2:13 pm

hego

it's a kind of monkey Nan.

2:14 pm

penquis

they object to how lobster is cooked...

2:14 pm

cybernan

no idea hego

2:15 pm

hego

ma plus hot ***a*. a chocolate drink.

2:15 pm

cybernan

they would rather we poison ourselves?

2:15 pm

hego

I kill mine before cooking.

2:16 pm

hego

Although I rarely cook lobster.

2:17 pm

cybernan

ty hego

2:17 pm

hego

yw, glad you got that sad clue. :)

2:18 pm

cybernan

we usually buy it cooked because cooking at home just stinks up the house. Really needs to be cooked outdoors.

2:18 pm

cybernan

*!* ta da *!* - thanks for the help

2:19 pm

hego

I usually eat it in restaurants only.

2:19 pm

hego

simpler

2:19 pm

hego

WTG!!! Nan!!!

2:20 pm

cybernan

only problem with buying precooked is you have to be careful that it comes from NB or Maine

2:20 pm

penquis

congrats!

2:20 pm

hego

Why?

2:21 pm

penquis

i don't often cook lobster at home, but i eat it often....there is a seafood store here that will cook a batch for a couple dollars....less smell in the kitchen...

2:21 pm

cybernan

I don't think you'd want to eat the stuff that comes from the polluted waters of china or indonesia!

2:21 pm

hego

Nice to live in Maine.

2:22 pm

cybernan

same goes for crab and shrimp

2:22 pm

hego

We get lobster here in NJ too.

2:22 pm

penquis

Maine lobster comes from either new england or new brunswick, i think.....

2:22 pm

penquis

maine lobster is actually a specific species, i think....

2:22 pm

hego

caught locally.

2:23 pm

penquis

i live on the coast in the lobster shipping capital, so i see it often on menus....

2:23 pm

hego

Well, out in te ocea, actually quite far out.

2:23 pm

hego

the ocean

2:23 pm

cybernan

all this talk of food is making me hungry --- off for lunch and will be back at the flip. hagd everyone

2:23 pm

hego

yes, Maine lobster is different from ours.

2:24 pm

hego

Bye Nan.

2:24 pm

penquis

if you ever see a lobster that is smaller than a pound, it's not from Maine either...

2:24 pm

penquis

illegal to catch....

2:24 pm

hego

That would be illegal here.

2:25 pm

penquis

had to give up a cabbage and beef supper at my bro's....he said his driveway was not plowed...not taking any chances....

2:25 pm

hego

smart

2:26 pm

penquis

it's so cold, too....really don't want to go out...

2:26 pm

hego

Really col today here too.

2:27 pm

hego

It's up to freezing now. A high for the day.

2:29 pm

penquis

2:29 pm

hego

Oh my!!

2:33 pm

penquis

yes, that's one reason i told my brother i will pass on dinner....really don't want to go back out....with the wind, the air is lethally cold...

2:34 pm

penquis

my neighbor helped me shovel out and she shoveled the walk....told her i was knitting her a scarf...

2:34 pm

hego

shoveling must be murder. Brr..

2:37 pm

penquis

yup...glad i did not have to do a lot of scraping....did what i could and moved the car back to its spot....left the wipers up so they would not freeze to the windshield...

2:37 pm

Dorens

2:38 pm

hego

2:38 pm

Another quiet night in Babble land... Hello lurkers. :-)

4:15 pm

MollyL

Not lurking, but peering at the lurkers in the bushes.

4:15 pm

Soodle

Lets peer together, MNolly. :-)

4:16 pm

java2

not exactly lurking - I have this open, but doing other things on the computer.

4:16 pm

MollyL

Ah, the multi-tasker. So many of them.

4:16 pm

Soodle

Hey Java.

4:17 pm

java2

I know of no other way to get it all done

4:17 pm

java2

Hey back

4:18 pm

Soodle

Molly, did I tell you about my new Netflix fix? Sons of Anarchy. Sublime!

4:19 pm

MollyL

I have read about that show, but not watched it.

4:20 pm

Soodle

Oooh. Watch it my friend. I avoided it for months, because of the title. I don't 'do' anarchy, but it is a good series. Believe me.

4:22 pm

Soodle

Hey Java, whats the weather like in Wisconsin?

4:30 pm

Soodle

:-( Ah well. I'll come back tomorrow. Nite all

4:32 pm

MollyL

No action here Soodle. Dead as a door nail.

5:39 pm

java2

Ah, went away just back. Weather in Wisconsin right now is just cold, but there's snow on the way. We're looking for 4-6 inches where I live, and less as you go further north and west. Milwaukee and south are looking for up to about 11 inches. Temps will be in teens and lower this coming week.

5:42 pm

Yeah, and there's a 6 hour time difference, so soodle is probably asleep. I would be at the same time!
