Does the va7 work off the va5?
1:37 am
rbud
th5's a va 7? cool, ty, looking... haha
1:39 am
rbud
answer: no. it's just like the sa 7.
1:44 am
Marc Freeman
Sorry don't have sa7, could you clue the va7, please?
1:50 am
rbud
well, if they were clothes, they'd be ga 7s. Do you have me 5/12? use most of that to end these two words.
1:52 am
rbud
well, one of the me 5's, I see two since I just glanced into Lickety
1:53 am
Marc Freeman
thanks
1:53 am
rbud
the first me 5.
1:53 am
rbud
but did you get it, haha - I felt sort of "clueless" for some reason
1:54 am
rbud
the va 7 made me think of hillbilly critters, yee-hah!
1:55 am
sprite
good morning all
1:55 am
sprite
ugh, a baby babble
1:55 am
rbud
howdy there, miz sprite - I've fallen into hillbilly mode
1:56 am
sprite
lol :D Hiya hillbilly bud!
1:57 am
rbud
also just got back from driving around town at 1 in the morning,, looking for our escape artist dog. Sigh.
1:57 am
sprite
ouch. Did you manage to find him?
1:58 am
rbud
Yep, found him, but then my helper (daughter's BF) had to walk him six blocks home as he was too muddy for the car, yuck!
1:58 am
sprite
glad you found him, but not at all a fun exercise for either of you.
1:59 am
rbud
he's old and loves to pop out of his collar when he's on the cable outside. If we put him in a fence, he jumps over it. He's a pain.
2:00 am
rbud
He's so proud of himself, too, he's one of those dogs with a big smile, haha
2:01 am
sprite
terra has arthrosis on his neck and shoulders and we bought him a different kind of collar. This one goes under the chest, one leg on either side, and then closes over the shoulders. Impossible to pop out of, might be worth trying?
2:01 am
sprite
lol, gotta love our pets... the more character they have, the more we love them.
2:02 am
rbud
we've tried all kinds of collars and harnesses. Sometimes he just takes the whole cable with him, too, he's really tricky. Yesterday he somehow just unhooked it from his collar quite neatly.
2:03 am
sprite
what a pain... but also kinda funny
2:04 am
rbud
Tonight he was dragging the cable. If only he were faster at doing his business, we wouldn't feel so inclined to ignore him out there for long periods.
2:06 am
rbud
One of these days, I might be able to get a tall enough kennel setup, I hope.
2:06 am
sprite
he is a real smart dog, apparently. Not the easiest of pets, but also adorable.
2:06 am
sprite
I love it that he is proud of himself and gives you a grin.
2:07 am
rbud
Oh, yeah, way too smart. Mostly border collie, they have to have something to do or they get really bored.
2:07 am
sprite
oh, one of the smartest breeds, those border collies. And as soon as they get bored, they are gonna find something to do, lol... and never something good.
2:10 am
sprite
acquaintances of mine have two dogs... a border collie and a jack russell terrier. You wouldn't believe the kind of trouble those two manage to get into. Both still young. They are more than a handful!
2:16 am
rbud
oh, I'll just bet - those are a couple of very energetic breeds.
2:24 am
sprite
fireflies. Too short, too fast. Enjoyed our chat though!
*hugs* and have a good one, rbud.
To you all, a blessed day and a peaceful night.
And *leaves a hug in chog for rose to find*
2:26 am
rbud
laters! hugs to you, too. :)
