6:48 am

periwinkle

hmmm not getting it

6:49 am

6:49 am

periwinkle

rubyfoo

Does anybody know what people meds help an itchy dog? I've given him benadryl, but it does nothing

7:12 am

MollyL

Ru might know, if you see him around here.

7:12 am

doseffing

... I'd guess a bath and a good grooming is more likely to help than meds .

7:13 am

MollyL

I agree with Dose, although I know very little about dogs.

7:13 am

bichon

I think a Vet might have a good answer. Does he have fleas?

7:13 am

rubyfoo

He'll let me comb him, but a bath is out of the question as he's too heavty to manage

7:14 am

rubyfoo

No fleas and it's Sundayt, no vet, either

7:14 am

rubyfoo

I feel sorry for him as he's such a sweet boy

7:14 am

bichon

He could have eczema

7:15 am

rubyfoo

He had sk** probs when he was a pup

7:16 am

doseffing

... I can spell dogs and that's about it ... but my sister-in-law finally took her animals to the vet and gave that diagnosis ... ... but yes ... some kind of skin condition that requires a vet to look at him seems more likely than an allergy being helped by human antihistamines

7:17 am

rubyfoo

I don't deserve to have such a big, fancy dog

7:17 am

lynxxx

Try apple cider vinegar 50/50 mix with water, I am guessing he is red underneath?? and it could be good if you can get him to lay down

7:17 am

rubyfoo

I'll comb him and see if it helps; see you later

7:18 am

doseffing

... a bientot

7:24 am

rubyfoo

So much for combing! 5 minutes and he's hiding Under the table!

7:25 am

bichon

Did you try a brush?

7:26 am

rubyfoo

several different ones because the two dogs have totally different fur (hair)

7:26 am

rubyfoo

She has extremely long, soft fur, looks like a ragamuffin, but never scratches

7:27 am

rubyfoo

He is a "rough" chow, short, stiff hair

7:29 am

doseffing

... It could be he's like my old cat ... we didn'

7:29 am

doseffing

we didn'

7:29 am

rubyfoo

They're both pur, but from different lines. Raffie is a Spanish princess and Rufie is an English nobleman

7:30 am

doseffing

we didn't comb her for years because she'd keep running away but eventually he fur was so bad that we just kept chasing and combing her whether she liked it or not ... and eventually she got to like it and insist on being combed ...

7:30 am

rubyfoo

Rufe is 3/4 Mi-Pao and 1/4 English

7:31 am

rubyfoo

He was bred near Lake Como

7:31 am

rubyfoo

She comes from Barcelona

7:32 am

doseffing

... an English nobleman bred near Lake Como ... don

7:32 am

doseffing

don

7:32 am

rubyfoo

They both have lovely manes

7:32 am

doseffing

don't they always end up being trouble in old English gothic novels

7:33 am

rubyfoo

He's a descendent of a famous int'l grand champion, Mi-Pao's Johhnie Walker

7:33 am

rubyfoo

6 ofmy 7 chows come from him

7:34 am

rubyfoo

Raffie is unrelated

7:34 am

rubyfoo

If you're interested, googlr Mi-Pao kennel

Hiyas, kiddos!

10:21 am

MollyL

Judi's here. Get the party started.

10:21 am

Trifioso

hello friends

10:22 am

MLFAN17

hi trif

10:22 am

MLFAN17

hi judi

10:23 am

Trifioso

hello dear!

10:24 am

Trifioso

mlf, the concert we went to the other night was SO GOOD - a perfect summer night in the city, right on the waterfront, Doobies and Chicago ROCKED it.

10:24 am

Trifioso

I love shows where the band is just having a blast playing, the crowd is with them note for note.....it was so great

10:25 am

MLFAN17

trif that is so awesome so it wasn't too hot ?

10:25 am

MLFAN17

I mean the temperature not the musicians:)

10:27 am

Trifioso

gosh no - the past two weeks here have been WOEFUL - 60s. ugh.

10:28 am

MLFAN17

well that's good trif those are two great bands and to see them together I mean what a treat!

10:30 am

Trifioso

I have an additional update....see my profile pic for details :)

10:30 am

cybernan

I hope, for the sake of the people who live on the waterfront, that the concert was neither too loud, nor too long.

10:31 am

Trifioso

no, neither, cyber - boston is really good about it, and has strict guidelines

10:32 am

MLFAN17

trif would that be a diamond piece of jewelry on your finger?

10:32 am

Trifioso

it would indeed.

10:32 am

MLFAN17

engaged?

10:32 am

Trifioso

yes maam

10:33 am

MLFAN17

WOOHOO Congrats trif:D That ring is so pretty!

10:33 am

cybernan

I wish we did -- there is a summer festival going on in city park (directly across the lake from us) this weekend. Two days and nights of woofers constantly booming so loudly that we can hear them on the opposite side of the house with all the windows closed and one more night to go. They don't quit until 11 pm which is an hour past my bedtime.

10:34 am

Judi

SQUEEEEEEE for Trif! Congratulations!

10:34 am

MLFAN17

cyber we can hear fireworks from where we live in our area

10:34 am

Trifioso

oh cyber, that does not sound pleasant at all! The city did a great job constructing the venue - in a not particularly residential part of the city, stage is aimed out across the water, and lots of bars/restaurants in area for after.

10:34 am

Trifioso

thank you!!!!

10:35 am

cybernan

grats on your engagement, trif

10:35 am

MLFAN17

oh yes bars "conveniently" located

10:35 am

Judi

*pops champagne* Salute!

10:35 am

Trifioso

thank you!

10:36 am

cybernan

yes - the stage is faced out across the water here too -- which is fine except for everyone that lives along the water within a 2 mile radius

10:36 am

Trifioso

I do get frustrated with the prices of concessions at concerts, and RARELY get anything - $9,50 for a four ounce glass of red wine???? pass!

10:36 am

MLFAN17

trif did you have any idea it was coming?

10:36 am

Trifioso

no idea at ALL mlf!!! I was completely and utterly floored.

10:37 am

Judi

Assuming you said yes, seeing as you're wearing the ring.

10:37 am

MLFAN17

oh concessions and concert stuff is so ridiculously priced. way too expensive

10:37 am

MLFAN17

trif how cool!

10:37 am

Trifioso

He did SUCH a good job it isn't even funny. The ring design is straight up perfect - PERFECT - for me, and get this ....since I am, uh, "of a certain age" he felt rather than ask my dad for my hand, he individually had asked each of my children. I cannot tell you what that meant to me.

10:38 am

Judi

Wow. *heart getting all melty*

10:38 am

Trifioso

yes yes yes judi

10:39 am

MLFAN17

my mom was given an engagement ring, but she has no intentions of getting remarried. she is 20 yrs or so older then you trif. But they are together and she did wear the ring for a short time. Last time I saw her, I didn't see the ring and I didn't ask

10:39 am

welki

he's a keeper - congrats to you both, trif

10:39 am

MLFAN17

trif that was the perfect thing to do!

10:40 am

Trifioso

I have a new computer and I really miss babble expert

7:06 pm

I'm afraid to install it on this machine. I had it on my old one

7:07 pm

7:07 pm

joansiebone

It doesn't work on Apple equipment

7:07 pm

periwinkle

do you use licketys list,Harry?

7:07 pm

HarryHood

I do. I will go there any minute now :)

7:08 pm

7:08 pm

7:14 pm

joansiebone

Thanks

7:14 pm

Gillie

For me it downloaded a file called BabbleExpert20110410.zip, which I was able to open in Explorer to get the executable.

7:17 pm

Gillie

It didn't do any kind of installation. I just copied BabbleExpert.exe out of the zip file, then double-clicked on it to run it. (Actually, I can run it from within the zip file, but if you want to keep it, you should copy it someplace.)

7:19 pm

periwinkle

Idk, I am getting a headache. I may just quit with 9 left.

7:19 pm

periwinkle

I may try to get it later or tomorrow

7:19 pm

HarryHood

sorry peri - feel better

7:20 pm

Lizlin

HI all and feel better soon, Peri

7:24 pm

periwinkle

I got babble expert but how do I copy it to someplace?

7:26 pm

Lizlin

Sorry - can't help, Peri. Use a Mac.

7:26 pm

Gillie

Actually, I guess there's no reason not just to run it from the zip file. Open the zip file, then double-click on BabbleExpert.exe.

7:27 pm

periwinkle

ok

7:28 pm

periwinkle

somehow I got it to work, not sure if I can do it again

7:29 pm
