Serious answers only, has anyone ever gotten their dog furminated? Does it really work?

I have two shar-pei's and my male just sheds like crazy. I've heard of a product called the furminator, and I'm wondeirng who out there has used it. Does it really reduce pet hair 60-80% If not I dont want to waste my money. Thanks!



Serious answers only, has anyone ever gotten their dog furminated? Does it really work?

The furminator is actually one of the best tools out there thats actually worth your money.I'm a dog groomer and I ordered one about a year ago,I now have 5 of them.My clients cannot believe how much the shedding on their dogs has decreased.I actually charge $20 on top of the grooming price to use this.This tool is amazing.my clients come in every 4 weekks religously to have this done,after the 4th time there is literally no shedding compared to how they shed before I'm not sayin by any means that it stop shedding 100%,but its definetly worth your money

Have you checked out the videos on this site? They have me convinced.! Especially the video of the Lab.

Hmm I've never heard of the furminator until now. It looks convincing, but I would also like to know of someone who has used it!~



Serious answers only, has anyone ever gotten their dog furminated? Does it really work?

I am a groomer and I had never heard of the 'Furminator' before. Looks like it removes alot of the dead undercoat. I will definitely give it a try

wow a repackaged hand stripper at 3 times the price. Yes it will work, you have to be careful not to catch the skin on your Sharpei. You may want to just buy a hair stripper for 20-30 instead of speending 50 on the marketing hype around this one.

Does anyone have any advice on the proceedures to get my renters deposit back any associations?

left the duplex in exellent cond. steam cleaned the carpet put up new blinds, they said we couldn't have $$ back cause there was dog hair on carpet, you could see where pict. were hung because we smoke, and a mark on carpet that was pointed out when we 1st walked thru duplex before renting they never called back to set up final walkthru never retured calls from 4th of this month and this week phoned to say they are keeping my deposit they already got my $200 pet deposit and now my $300 deposit and I dont know what to do



Does anyone have any advice on the proceedures to get my renters deposit back any associations?

Did you fill out a "commencement checklist" when you moved in? You should have filled it out regarding the condition of the unit. Then you turn it in and they give you a copy. This protects you at move out if they say you did something that was damaged when you moved in.



They cannot hold your deposit for animal fur if they already kept your pet deposit. The items you mention in your question are normal "wear and tear" and they cannot hold your deposit for that......It is expected for "normal wear and tear" that the landlord cleans the carpet and paints at their expense, not yours.



Here is the big thing!!!!! Read your lease...Not everyone reads the lease close enough when they move in. There might be things in there that you agreed to that you forget......



If there is nothing in the lease I would send the management company a letter stating your case and tell them if you do not have your deposit returned in 10 days, you will have to call your attorney to take over.

rentings a drag. i always got my deposit back except for last year. they nickel and dimed us and i took pictures of the place the way we left it. if you steamed cleaned it its not going to cost them money to vacuum the carpet. theyre just trying to keep your money. call renters rights. renters have a lot of rights. it would be through your county.

Kenmore progressive vacuum cleaner!?

anyone own a kenmore progressive vacuum cleaner!? I am in the market for a really great vacuum, at a resonable price, (unlike dyson's)! i have read good and bad reviews on the progressive! I have a black lab and I need a great vaccum to get up all that dog hair! Please let me know what you think and also what kind of progressive you have! THANK YOU!



Kenmore progressive vacuum cleaner!?

I have a Progressive canister (sorry, couldn't find the model number) and it is terrible!! I have had many Kenmores in the past ...both canisters and uprights... and this is the first one that stinks! It blows more dog hair out the back vent than it picks up...the cord does not rewind properly...it sometimes shorts out depending on the way the hose connection is turned...

Would you pick birch or dark wood cabinets to redo a kitchen?

I am remodeling and am trying to decide between birch cabinets or dark wood cabinets. A lot of people have cherry right now--is it going out of style? I live in San Diego --in your opinion should I go with a lighter cabinet? My appliances are stainless steel and will stay. The countertops are white ceramic tile and also have to stay. Also am between a porcelain tile floor or an engineered wood floor. If I use the wood, should it match the cabinets? I am afraid a dark wood floor will show all my dog hair, and make the kitchen look small. What would you do?



Would you pick birch or dark wood cabinets to redo a kitchen?

With white tile counters and stainless, I'd opt for the birch. The dark wood would be too much contrast with white counters, in my opinion. The lighter birch wood with white and stainless would look awesome!



Tile on the floor would make your kitchen too "busy" if there is also tile on the counters. Way too many squares! A medium toned engineered wood floor is the better choice there. By medium, I mean darker than the birch, but lighter than walnut or mahogany. Maybe alder, maple, or oak? Hold the floor samples up to the birch and go with a nice easy on the eye contrast - not too dark, not as light as the birch. Medium :)



Cherry is pretty popular, but so common now it's not a big deal. Do what's best for your space and lighting. The birch, white, and medium floor would be very neutral and easy to sell if you get a new house. Best of luck in your decision! :)



Would you pick birch or dark wood cabinets to redo a kitchen?

dark wood.



Would you pick birch or dark wood cabinets to redo a kitchen?

The nicest kitchen I have seen has a colour called antique white. Just an off white! I imagine it was birch with that stain. It was gorgeous. A light kitchen is cheerier I find.



Would you pick birch or dark wood cabinets to redo a kitchen?

If I were you I would go with light wood for both floor and cabinets. The reason is that you want your kitchen to be light and bright.



Would you pick birch or dark wood cabinets to redo a kitchen?

I dont believe in going along with fashion, but I do believe in personal style.



If you like the dark wood cabinets and its your style, go for it! Dark wood can be pretty classy (light wood is starting to be a bit childish). Go for porcelain floor, to match the countertops, and this will avoid your dog's hair to show. And remember, painting 1 of the walls in a light color will help it look bigger.



Would you pick birch or dark wood cabinets to redo a kitchen?

I would go with birch....it is so beautiful. I don't like dark wood cabinets. That is just my opinion.



Would you pick birch or dark wood cabinets to redo a kitchen?

you are right! Dark will make the kitchen appear smaller. Birch is a good wood grain wise for the cabinets, if you like cherry, just keep it light.



Would you pick birch or dark wood cabinets to redo a kitchen?

The nice thing about birch, if and when you get tired of it, you don't need a whole new kitchen. A little bit of sanding and staining and you have a whole new kitchen for just pennies. (and a little elbow greese. Go for the wood floor. It will keep your kitchen Warm and inviting. you already have tile on the counter.



Would you pick birch or dark wood cabinets to redo a kitchen?

I would think that the birch would go better simply because of the white countertops. Cabinets and floors don't have to match...that's totally up to you and your style.



Would you pick birch or dark wood cabinets to redo a kitchen?

In general, a lighter wood will make the kitchen look bigger. It's better to have light wood if there aren't a lot of windows too. But sometimes dark wood goes really well with stainless steel appliances if you want a really modern look. It really depends on the size of your kitchen, how much light you have, and what style you are going for. You don't have to get cherry stain if you're not crazy about it, just because it's the "in" thing. You have to look at it everyday, right?



Also it might be good to consider your neighborhood. You don't want to over-do a kitchen with granite countertops and really expensive high end cabinets in a low income area, for example. But for San Diego, you probably want more high end stuff. If you're planning to sell the place in a few years, you might want to consider what appeals to the most people. I think most people would prefer the lighter wood, but you could ask some people who sell cabinets what their best sellers are.



I recently saw on tv (I think it was an episode of Flip That House) that someone said the wood floor doesn't have to match the cabinets. Personally that would bug me if both floor and cabinets were light wood but different, and they are pretty hard to match exactly I think. It will also make the cabinets stand out more if there is some contrast from the floor. Just be careful the grout for the tiles doesn't attract too much dirt and make it difficult to clean. Go with a pattern instead of plain white for the floor to disguise dirt.



As for birch, just be careful as it is a very soft wood, and might ding more easily than other types of wood like oak which is very hard and durable.



Personally, when I've saved enough money to redo my kitchen, I'm going with a light maple for the cabinets. My countertops are cheap white laminate, so I definitely want something that doesn't stain so easily. For my small condo, I think granite would be overdoing it though. Maybe some kind of corian or the new silestone. I have white appliances but I would want a new stainless steel sink. As for the floor, I'm fine with the neutral marble pattern laminate the previous owners picked out, so I'll probably leave it.



Would you pick birch or dark wood cabinets to redo a kitchen?

Go for the light wood it makes kitchens appear larger. Also when thinking about the floor have you ever considered bamboo flooring or cork. They are very in style at this moment and the bamboo is a very hard wood floor. It has a very interesting pattern in it also. Also since your appliances are stainless the lighter wood seems better. I had antique white in my kitchen with stainless appliances and loved it. Good Luck and happy redo.

Any natural, non-toxic rabbit repellants that work?

A friend is having trouble with rabbits eating her tulips. Here is what she has tried already: critter repellent, but they don't seem to mind. Hot sauce on the leaves (don't do this, but bunnys don't mind, and it kills the leaves),dog hair around the plants, garlic around the plants. Bear in mind that she has children and pets, so can't use anything toxic. Are there any home remedies or natural solutions to keep the rabbits out of her garden? Thanks!



Any natural, non-toxic rabbit repellants that work?

Q: I am having trouble keeping rabbits from my shrubs and flowers. I have used liquid fence in the past. It seems to help, but it is so darned expensive. I read about using hot pepper spray on your Web site. Could you please e-mail your recipe for this spray? (e-mail reference)



A: Red cayenne, Jalapeno or habanera fresh peppers can be used in the preparation, but be careful if you use habanera because the capsaicin concentration is high enough to cause serious damage to the preparer! Jalapenos should be hot enough to keep the bunnies away. The quickest way to come up with a concoction is to take three fresh peppers and run them through a food processor with enough water added to create a liquid. Pour the liquid through a cheesecloth mesh into a glass quart jar. Add about 2 tablespoons of olive or other vegetable oil, a squirt of Elmer閳ユ獨 glue and a drop or two of liquid dishwashing detergent. Use one part of the concentration to 10 parts water. Shake well just before application. This should discourage the bunnies without hurting them. If not, then make the concentration stronger, to 30 percent, or just go up to the cayenne pepper for extra heat. Be sure to reapply after new growth appears or after a good rain.

Try sliced up Irish Spring. Yes, it sounds weird, but we have found that it works for deer who seem to love hostas.

Use hot pepper wax spray, is non toxic, or just leave dogs and cats outside at night.

Four suggestions:



1. If your friend lives anywhere near a zoo, tiger (or presumably any other big cat) dung. Of course, that might attract the kids as much as it repels the rabbits (and maybe her pets).



2. Companion planting: there are some plants like alliums (onion family) that repel certain animals by their smell, and by interplanting those with the tulips the rabbits might be put off. Unfortunately I don't know which ones work with rabbits.



3. An active, hunting cat will certainly keep the numbers down. However it might also bring home trophies.



4. A physical barrier, such as a fence. My father, a retired market gardener, discovered the hard way that to succeed with a rabbit-proof fence it must extend at least 18 inches under ground - any less, and the rabbits will simply dig under the fence.

What do you say when its too much?

Okay, take a deep breath and take everything one at a time. Just keep a positive attitude and go out there and make some friends, even if you are more shy its easy make friends with one of your kids parents and get all the help you can get. I dont know alot about the legal system but i know that it takes time put your mind away from that and focus on the things that matter. I hope the best for you all i can say is keep a chin up and there are people out there willing to help dont keep this all in it is too much of a burden!!!!



What do you say when its too much?

wow, :'(



jeez



um, listen to music



that's what i do



you know what, ive found that if you keep going things will eventually get better



to tell you the truth im going through a really bad time myself



so i dont really know what to do, but i will keep on trying



What do you say when its too much?

You say ...It's to much...



What do you say when its too much?

Hello, we all go through tough times not being rude to you or saying that your not having a rough but Ive had a hell of a lot worse, and you will be just fine.The way I handled things was one day at a time one step at a time, get the ball rolling,keep pestering those who misplaced your case, keep hassling SS to forward your papers be nice and persistent , you do have rights, use the Internet to find out what they are and how to go about it, I'm not familiar with social security in America(i assume that's where you are)You have yourself, so be strong and stick up for yourself when you have no one else to help you. Look at all the things you do have and appreciate them, however small they are. Ask a neighbour if you can borrow their vac *** , make them a cake and go over and ask, they can only say no,so ask the next neighbour.USe your time to help yourself instead of feeling sorry for yourself, and always keep smiling cause you never know who may be admiring you from afar . All the best to you !:)



What do you say when its too much?

Wow. I kinda feel your pain. I'm pretty much looking for an answer, too. My problem is not the same as your problem, but I have alot of stress, too. I know you don't want any religious answers, but the only thing that has kept me going is prayer. I am really pleasant person, most of the time. But lately, I'm having mood swings. I'm mean, I'm slacking on my work, then I'm depressed and trying to save the world (my company). I've had a lot of lows and lower lows. And I was wondering, when do you say something? When do you ask someone for help? I hate asking people for help and certainly don't want to seem mentally unstable or anything. Just hold on. PRAY! And one thing I know for sure. You absolutely ask for help before you do something detrimental to yourself or someone else. That could be anything from drinking to suicide. And remember that God never gives us more than we can handle. So as hard as it is, just know that you're strong enough. Take care of yourself.



What do you say when its too much?

well I hate to tell you this but it could be alot worse just be thankful for what you do have I always think about how bad off other people are and that makes me be grateful for the stuff I'm going through nd I have been through alot in my life time and I am only 24 I have lost two children 1at birth and the other at 8 months and have had 3 c-sections in 4 years my teeth are horrible and I'm trying to go to college with 3 kids I have to move out of my house in 11 days and haven't found a place yet and haven't got sleep in 3 days so trust me I feel for you just take it one mental breakdown at a time you will make it through it just think tomorrow is another day and it could be the day everything turns around so I wish you luck just have hope it wouldn't happen if it's not supposed to it just makes you a stronger person



What do you say when its too much?

Anyone on this site could write a paragraph about what is bad in their life. What you probably need to do is keep as good of a record of the things that go right, and the things that are good in your life. You seem to have documented even the smallest thing that went wrong, so now start doing the same for even the smallest thing that goes right. You will usualy find that there are more good things than bad in your life. Always be thankful for what you have, not bitter about what you don't have.



What do you say when its too much?

When things get absolutely too much to handle, that you feel like there is no where to go or turn, pray to God, and ASK God for help! I am not one of those religious fanatics, but there has been times in my life, when I was at the end of my rope, and didn't have any more answers. I just said, God, I'm giving you my problems, and you handle them! You know what? God never let me down yet! You must have faith, even when things seem totally impossible, and you feel you've hit a dead end in everything you do, or every way you turn, you cant give up, you must keep trying even though it may not seem like your getting anywhere, keep trying, and you really must give it up to God, I usually got an answer within 48 hours when Ive done that. Hope things get better, and if you need help, keep searching, there is always someone out there that cares enough to give advice, or help!



What do you say when its too much?

Question is this on the soap. or are you for real really .I can't even begin to imagine, what to respond.If your on the up-n-up time for a cool change get out of the negative and shift gears, thats no way to what you might call living that is a storyline for the afternoon soaps.

I don't think people are reading your question. All those machines are good for carpet only. Your question screams canister vacuum. They are made for multi-surfaces. There are a lot of different brands that make canisters, but you will probably have to go to an independent dealer to get a good one. Miele is a German manufactured machine, and the best built on the market, hands down. It is also the only one that has a hepa rating on the machine itself, instead of just the filter. The company is very particular about who they authorize to distribute there products, so you'll know you're dealing with a reputable vac store. Their website has a dealer locator. www.miele.com

I have to agree on the Miele. I own one and love it, the cleaning power is amazing! Report It

Eureka - The Boss - is a great inexpensive vac. It's about $150 at Sam's Club or Walmart. It received top ratings from Consumer Reports. It even has a HEPA filter. Replacement bags/belts/filters can be ordered at the Eureka website. Also the website has a sale every year in January for 15% off, so I stock up then.



I bought one 4 months ago to replace the older model of the same one that I bought 8 years ago. The 8 year old one still works but the wheels are so worn that I didn't want it on my hardwood floors anymore. I now have in the closet of my screened in porch to clean up out there.

kirby g5...they are expensive but worth the $$...I have had mine for 10+ years and it works like new as long as you maintain it.



Recommend a good vacuum cleaner?

I would suggest a Rainbow Vac. We bought one in the early 90's and we were amazed with how well it worked then, so we bought another updated one a couple years ago and we've never had any trouble with them. They use water instead of bags, so you empty the water tank when you're finished and fill it up with fresh water for the next use... it keeps the dust and pet hair from floating around the room. You can also add a couple drops of fragrance in the water and it makes the room smell nice. We used ours as an air purifier before, we put Eucalyptus scent in it and it helped with having congestion or stuffy noses. There really a lot of + features with this. A couple cons is it takes a little bit to set it up, you have to add the water and put a couple of things together and it's a bit pricey, but I think it's worth it. Hope this helped!

I clean houses for a living and I bought a dyson. Hands down the best vacuum out there. I got the dyson animal, it has a knob that you turn for bare floor cleaning and rugs. It has a pull out hose for those hard to reach places. No bags to mess with. I have a inside dog also and it sucks up dog hair like a dream. Had mine for almost 3 years and still works like the first day I bought it. Bought mine from sears.

Poodles and Maltese are very differnt animals, do you have some type of crossbreed? I would rely on the Vets word, If you are still uncomfortable with the idea, ask yourself? DO I love the dog Does it really matter what specific breed (S) he or she is?



If you still want to see more info? try the links below.



I am assuming you have a toy poodle? Either or your dog will love you anyway so enjoy your canine companion/ friend~



The vet say I have a poodle dog but I think is a Maltese how can I found out which one is it?

Why did you get a dog that you don't know what it is? Surely you were told when you bought it, what it was!! So long as its healthy and happy does it matter anyway?



The vet say I have a poodle dog but I think is a Maltese how can I found out which one is it?

Get the pedigree papers and have dna tests done. The Kennel Club can check the paternity and confirm the blood line in the same way as you can with humans. You will then know the breed of your dog. If it was sold to you as a pedigree Maltese, but the blood test shows mixed breed or different breed, you can sue the breeder for misrepresenting the breed of dog they sold you. This can be quite expensive.



The vet say I have a poodle dog but I think is a Maltese how can I found out which one is it?

stick your finger up its bottom. if it barks then its a maltese - if it squeels like a pig then its a poodle.



The vet say I have a poodle dog but I think is a Maltese how can I found out which one is it?

Are you sure your puppy is purebred or a mix? Have you ever tried looking onto the AKC website? They have all the known registered and recognized breeds on that site and give some very good information about the breeds also. They also have pictures of the different breeds to help you compare the pups with yours.



Hope this helps and good luck with your new puppy! Sounds too cute! :-)



The vet say I have a poodle dog but I think is a Maltese how can I found out which one is it?

Based on the description, it could be either one. If the dog isn't white, it's a poodle. It could also be a poodle-maltese cross. I say trust your vet...they see a lot of puppies and would be the best judge of the breed.



The vet say I have a poodle dog but I think is a Maltese how can I found out which one is it?

what are d ears? long erect ones well thats maltese, if its droopy long ones thats a poodle, maltese has strait hair, poodle has curly hair, maltese grows only 10 to 12 inches, and with similar built as shitzu, almost snubbed nose, but with a little snout, if urs is a bit taller, with longer legs, and curly hair, with long ears thats a poodle... the question only is that is it a toy poodle or a poodle. but not a maltese. we own and breed maltese



The vet say I have a poodle dog but I think is a Maltese how can I found out which one is it?

The main give away is that you say that your puppy had curly hair and Maltese dogs have straight hair this isn't to say that your puppy's hair won't change. I have a Bichon Frise which looks almost identical to a Maltese pup and she had really cute straight hair and as she got older it went really curly so you can't tell until there get their adult coat. Maltese dogs are also very small so the size will give it away too. You should also talk to your breeder if you bought him from a breeder. I would love to see if a picture of him. Send me a pic and i might be able to tell you from that. miasummer2805@yahoo.co.uk

try looking for pictures on the internet for both breeds and compare them but unfortunitly vets are very rarly wrong when it comes to breeds and does it matter anyway as long as you love the dog thats what counts. but on the other side if you brought a pedigree maltese and it looks like a poodle somethings wrong it could also be a cross between both breeds and show characteristics of both breeds hense the confusion

Have cleaned entire house-labor far off?

OK, I have had 2 kids so far, but I have never had the "nesting instinct" before. I'm pretty sure this was it, because I went on a rampage to rid my house of all the dog hair, and got waaay too wrapped up in it. This came out of NOWHERE. I'm 39 weeks along, and was wondering if anyone had a timeline as to how far off labor might be. I know it's different for everyone, but I'm sooo ready to pop this one out. Any answers would be appreciated!



Thanks.



Have cleaned entire house-labor far off?

My guess would be 2-3 days. I had this instinct when pregnant with both of my children. About 3 days before labor started with my daughter, I went completely nuts on the cleaning thing. With my son it was cleaning and cooking about 5 dishes each day. My husband wasn't complaining because there was something about being pregnant that made the food taste better than ever. Good luck and let me know.



Have cleaned entire house-labor far off?

My ex-friend had an obsession of cleaning her house when pregnant. Like you said it's called "nesting instinct". Clean house is always good and healthy anyway.



I had a differnet obsession. I was obsessed with stationery paper and stickers and colored pens. My water broke when I was looking at my stationery and while watching "Friends". Don't ask me why of my stationery obsession, I'm fine now LOL



Have cleaned entire house-labor far off?

I nested when I was 7 1/2 months pregnant. It was non-stop cleaning, shopping for the baby, decorating, etc. So I really don't think it's a sign of how close you are. Because I went 5 days past my due date. I know it's tough at 39 weeks. Especially when you see other women going in 2 weeks to a month before their due date. It sucks! Be patient. And Congrats.



Have cleaned entire house-labor far off?

I didn`t have it with my daughter but with my son I cleaned house all day and was in labor that night!! Good luck with your little one!!



Have cleaned entire house-labor far off?

I had the nesting about one week before I had my daughter. The end is in sight!! Best of luck to you.



Have cleaned entire house-labor far off?

I did the nesting thing with 2 out of 5 of my children, you are absolutely correct when you say that each pregnancy is different but I have heard that when a women goes through the nesting stage that she is going to go into labor shortly there after. I know I did! Good luck, congratulations and I wish you and your new baby the best of health.

your nesting ..... it won't be too much longer .... CONGRATS!



Tomorrow- I would go for a walk and have s**...these two things have been known to get things going...and if you do I bet you have a baby this week....best wishes!



Have cleaned entire house-labor far off?

That sounds like nesting to me and I believe it is a real phenomenon. About 10 days before my first was born, I felt the need to clean every window in the house. Three days before my second was born, I cleaned out the kitchen pantry, then emptied all the spice jars, and replaced them with fresh spices.



Best wishes to you and your family:)



Have cleaned entire house-labor far off?

I was that was on and off throughout the whole last month of pregnancy and I gave birth 3 days late. I really had the nesting instinct the night before I went into labor though!



Since you already have 2 kids, I'd say you should be very close! Most 2nd and 3rd etc. babies are usually on time or early, so I'd make sure your bag is packed, it's just a matter of time! :)



Good luck and congrats!



Have cleaned entire house-labor far off?

I have been nesting with this baby since i was about 10 weeks (now 26). I am driving my kids and hubby nuts ha ha.



With my son I started nesting a week before I had him.



I think it depends on the pregnancy and person.



A few of my friends have done it for months before, others the day before, while others have not at all!



I don't think anyone can tell you when you're going to have the baby just because you are nesting.



It will come when its ready



Good Luck with the labour!



Have cleaned entire house-labor far off?

Have cleaned entire house-labor far off?

Nesting is a way to comfort your mind knowing that everything is clean enough for the baby to come home. If you watch the birds build their nest, they are frantic flying back and forth with branches in their beeks to make a safe place for their young. After the nest is built, the female sits and rests for the rest of the time, until the babies come. So relax and rest and get ready for your beautiful baby to come.



God Bless You and your Family.

Question about my 4 yrs. Old Boxer Dog?

I own a 4 yr. old Boxer pup. He has a itchy problem across his whole body. he's had it since he's been about 6 months. He has loss of hair and blad spots on his body. Everyday I have to give him a 20mg tab. of predizone. The vet can't seem to figure out whats wrong with him, and I have tried everything from changing foods to giving him med. baths. I'm a little lost on what to do for him, i don't like seeing him like this!! Anybody with advise please answer. Thanks!!



Question about my 4 yrs. Old Boxer Dog?

If you haven't already, have him checked for mange, ringworm and allergies. Allergy testing can be expensive, so it's usually not the first thing that gets done, but it can be the only way to get to the bottom of things. It might not hurt to check for mange and ringworm again even if you have already done these things. It is possible to get a false negative and your dog certainly seems uncomfortable.



Question about my 4 yrs. Old Boxer Dog?

mange, allergies to food or something in the environment.



Question about my 4 yrs. Old Boxer Dog?

I am sorry that you had to exiperence this.. email me at kaj4him@yahoo.com



Question about my 4 yrs. Old Boxer Dog?

Try feedin him oily fish (like canned salmon) and instead of bathing him, brush him very day to bring up the skin ois %26amp; se if that helps



Question about my 4 yrs. Old Boxer Dog?

You the 10th person to ask this same question. I think it may be allergies or just the change of season for these dogs.



What ever it is your boxer is not the only one to have this problem, thats for sure.



I wish I had the right answer for you but your already giving him meds so I cant think of anything else for you to do to help him.



I'm so sorry.



Question about my 4 yrs. Old Boxer Dog?

some dogs get allegic reaction to certain things,,maybe he is allergic to grass !!!!



Question about my 4 yrs. Old Boxer Dog?

How frustrating for you and your dog. I hope you can finally find out what's causing the problems and get it taken care of. I found a couple of interesting websites that might be of some help. You may have to scroll down a bit on the second website to find information pertaining to your situation. Good Luck!



Question about my 4 yrs. Old Boxer Dog?

Try a different vet. sorry to here about your dog



Question about my 4 yrs. Old Boxer Dog?

You can try a food called avoderm my boxer had skin problems as well and I fed him that it helped also I bathed him in Johnsons head to toe baby wash. I also put baby lotion on the bald spots and gave him chewable benadryl. Also you can ask your vet about herbal treatments sold at whole foods they are for humans but they work for dogs too. Good luck BOXERS ROCK!



Question about my 4 yrs. Old Boxer Dog?

I have a 3 yr old boxer who has had sensitive skin all his life. He had demodex as a puppy and we bathed him in a medication the vet gave us. Now we give him regular baths with moisturizing Selson Blue and it keeps his coat and skin healthy. He does still have some bald spots and we cant keep a collar on him because it will rub his hair off his neck but otherwise he is fine.



Question about my 4 yrs. Old Boxer Dog?

your dog probably has a skin condition or a skin allergy try to give him or her a benedryl pill and have your pet checked for mange. Good luck!

Another breed question - domestic short-hair, bengal, pixie bob or ???- any ideas?

Hi,



we're discussing Jenny's origin once in a while - She is now one and a half year old, unfortunately a little obese (14 pounds and should just have 12 or so, very agile and playful, has dog character (like waiting for us behind the door and following us everywhere), LOVES attention, but is not a lap cat; She is almost a retriever, vocal (especially at 4:00 am ;-). She loves to purr and she is definitely a 'licker'. She does have a long tail and big paws. Some of her whiskers are black and white. I hope I can get some pictures in...



http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cf...



And we are excited to hear any comments!



Another breed question - domestic short-hair, bengal, pixie bob or ???- any ideas?

Hi there...Jenny appears to be mostly a DSH brown tabby. She has ticking more commonly seen with pixie bob cats, but very little markings to indicate any Bengal.



Nonetheless, she looks quite happy and is unique with her own personality and antics to endear herself to you and your family.



DSH Brown Tabby: http://images.google.com/images?imgsz=hu...



Another breed question - domestic short-hair, bengal, pixie bob or ???- any ideas?

Your pic does not work. Where did you get her? If not from a breeder, chances are she's a domestic shorthair.



EDIT - Looks exactly like my cat (except he's a boy and he's big too). Domestic short hair for sure.



Another breed question - domestic short-hair, bengal, pixie bob or ???- any ideas?

Jenny is beautiful!!!



She reminds me of my sweet Biddie. Biddie was a DSH mix of Red Abyssinian %26amp; Grey Mackeral Tabby

Overstepping boundaries???

I have found that my new "man" is a pig,and I mean this in the nicest way possible. I can deal with laundry piles(clean or dirty),or even piles of papers,(cause really no one is perfect)im a clutter-queen too I am the first to admit this!!!



But he is WORSE -ex-(days)old plateS with dried on food laying all over the room,empty soda/beer bottles just thrown on the floor,spider webs shooting from every possible corner of the room,not to mention the 5"thick dust on the top of his furniture or the clups of dog hair on the carpet!



HELP ME-would I be oversteping my new g.f boundaries if I were to clean up a bit?(we've been dating for about2months but its only been a month that I've been going to his place!)



Please GUYS ESPECIALLY tell me how you would feel if your new g.f were to start cleaning up your place? Honestly its sorta makes me sick to go there sometimes,I like the guy alot but how messy can one man be?



thanks...



Overstepping boundaries???

If you wanna clean my room, that's okay



If you wanna mop the floor, that's okay



If you wanna use a broom, that's okay



If you wanna restore the wood on my dresser, that's okay



The 5 inches of dust just remind me how old I am



And the dog hair on the carpet prevents me from slamming



the door before I toss more bottles to the floor



But please leave something for the spiders!



The spiders are swell.



They eat lots of bugs.



When they catch their prey



they give it a hug



by wrapping it up inside a cocoon



to paralyze it, and then they consume!



Yes, this dried food is disgusting



But I'm just tryin' to feed the buggies



Who hopefully will eat them



so they can feel the snuggies



When spidey comes to capture



Their souls per the process



But this wouldn't be happenin' if our rooms were so spotless



So, go right ahead and clean up the place



it'd save me some time, and I'd think it the bomb.



Plus I'd sooo like to see the look on your face



when I accidentally call you "mom".



Hear this sung for you at: http://noise.dillfrog.com/audio/aawwtf/o...



(Translation: do it if you want, but you'll have to discuss it, and if he's this lazy around you so early in the dating process, don't expect that to change much if you go long-term. Also, yuck.)

Overstepping boundaries???

Well, my bf and I have only been together a month, but I clean his place all the time... Admittedly, I moved in a week after I met him, and I only work part time while he works full time (plus some), so I do most all of the cleaning. But I've had ex's that I didn't live with that were slobs, and they LOVED it when I would clean. It's not that guys really want to live with crusty/moldy food and beer cans all over - they're just too lazy/busy/tired-after-work to make it a priority.



Overstepping boundaries???

If you are going to have a long term relationship with this guy, then the subject will have to come up sooner or later. Better to address it now than to wait. If he freaks out about it, then you probably don't want to be around him anyway. Then again, he may be OK with you cleaning up, as long as he doesn't have to do it. Great gig, if you can get it... Us guys don't take hints very well, so be direct. House cleaning isn't usually our #1 priority, but it sounds like he could stand to at least pick up a bit.



Overstepping boundaries???

Do NOT start cleaning up his place. Either get used to the mess (try looking at the spider webs as 'Irish Lace,' for instance), or just don't go to his place. Frankly, it sounds unhealthy. Maybe you could find a way to tactfully suggest he hire someone to clean his place at least monthly. But please, do not do it yourself. You are his g.f., and until and unless your relationship progresses to the point where you receive some vested interest in the deal, enjoy his company but stay away from the mop and broom.



Overstepping boundaries???

He needs to do it himself and show some respect for himself and for you. Don't ever clean his house or he will expect it --get use to you doing it. Just let him know why you choose to not visit with him there--politely.. If he does not change after that then I would find someone who does care about his home environment.



Overstepping boundaries???

I would be running away from him as fast as I could. Don't tell me that all this slob has not rubbed off on him in some way before you saw how he lived...his clothes cannot be very clean and he sure must dress like a slob if this is the way he lives...it does not sound like anything is clean about this guy...yuck!!!!!!



Overstepping boundaries???

Its not your place to be cleaning up after your boy friend. And if he wants you to be at his home, he should clean it. Personally i would go back in that house until he did. Try and talk to him about it in a calm way and see how he feels about the situation. Besides if you clean up his mess, he will expect you to do it all the time.



Overstepping boundaries???

Someones home is a reflection of their soul so I would run like crazy girl!



Overstepping boundaries???

Ewww... Gross! I hope this guy doesn't clean because he is busy at his high paying day job. If that is not the case you may want to reconsider your situation. If he is like this now, he will be like this if you ever decide to marry him. You almost sound a little resentful that it has to be that way. If he doesn't care enough about you to make an effort, get out while you can. If not, I'm sure he appreciates someone doing his dirty work and may be looking to keep you on a permanent basis. Enjoy!!!

What's the funniest thing you dog (or any pet) has ever eaten?

My German Short Hair, Daisy, once ate half a dozen individual snowman cakes that were cooling on the counter, waiting to be frosted. I came up from switching the wash and they were all gone! I was so dumbfounded that I thought for a second they had all come to live and fled before being someone's snack! When I finally realized Daisy must have taken them, I turned to her and asked if she'd eaten them . . . she burped in my face! Mystery solved.



What's the funniest thing you dog (or any pet) has ever eaten?

The Black Cat once jumped up on the chair next to where my Grandma was having dinner (pasta with shrimp). He quietly regarded her and her meal for a moment, then reached out and grabbed one of the shrimp with his paw. Impaled on his claw, he transfered the tidbit to his mouth, nodded politely at her, and jumped down to consume his bounty in relative privacy.



What's the funniest thing you dog (or any pet) has ever eaten?

My dog ate a roadkill squirrel once. I only knew because she vomited the thing whole into my living room.



What's the funniest thing you dog (or any pet) has ever eaten?

My dog tried to eat a marshmallow that was on fire once.



What's the funniest thing you dog (or any pet) has ever eaten?

My cat swallowed a sewing needle with the thread through the eye. I saw the thread sticking out of her mouth and pulled...thank goodness I didn't hurt her but I got it out!



My dog was running through my house and instead of stopping at the wall he was heading to, he jumped and flew into the aquarium! When he landed, all the water and fish came pouring out and I had a HECK of a time gathering fish before he could eat them!!!

Whipped Cream. My cat eats it all the time.



What's the funniest thing you dog (or any pet) has ever eaten?

My friend's mutt ate a lightbulb once. Like those 60 watt type you put in any household fixture. By the time my friend realized what was going on, the dog had swallowed the thing. Amazingly, the dog was fine afterwards.



My dog ate 6 boxes of chocolate covered coffee beans that my dad had left downstairs. All that the dog left were a few shreds of packaging. Surprisingly, he did not get sick either.



What's the funniest thing you dog (or any pet) has ever eaten?

well lets start... WE've lost a BRAND new package of toilet paper, not the 4 rolls but like the 32 that we had left on the floor, we lost an un-open bag of hamster bedding, digital camera, computer charger, dvds, video games, shaving razor, face wash, tampons, kleenex.



*Its all put away, there just is always a fluke, such has putting away groceries, and we threw it on the floor til we were ready for it, or set on a coffee table when we weren't using it. SO really take your pick. chich is the funniest thing or dog ate!**



What's the funniest thing you dog (or any pet) has ever eaten?

our auto insurance bill... i guess if our dog ate it she thought we wouldnt have to pay it



What's the funniest thing you dog (or any pet) has ever eaten?

My mutt, Zoe, is an all around junkyard dog. She will eat anything that isn't trying too hard to get away, with the exception of my shoes which is good. So far the body count has been:



a playstation controller

2 Questions about a messy friend. Help!?

First Question: My friend had a baby about 4 months ago and her messy habits have gotten way worse. She uses the baby as an excuse never to clean but she is always going out with friends or doing crafts. Her apartment has dog hair, laundry, dishes and clutter all over the place. She wants me to go over but it's too uncomfortable for me and my daughter. I would invite her to my house but she doesn't get up my way very often. What should I do?



Second Question:



The same friend changes her baby right on my kitchen table when she does come over. What should I do/say? How can people be so messy?!



2 Questions about a messy friend. Help!?

you should try to tell her that whats shes doing in going to affect her baby in the long run, cuz with all that cluster her baby could get hurt. and about the kitchen table.. just WOW who the heck does that.. show some respect. try to talk it out with her about respect and everything



2 Questions about a messy friend. Help!?

If she's really messy then you should tell her that it won't be healthy for her baby and maybe she might listen to you this time because a child's health is really important due to the environment.

Ok, so im pretty convinced my dog has parasites,however, i do not have the money to pay a vett...?

what can i do to stop them ???? he is missing hair on his lower left back and side of tail where he ate it off... i have been putting neosporin on it but he eats it off. please help



Ok, so im pretty convinced my dog has parasites,however, i do not have the money to pay a vett...?

there are too many options as to what could be wrong with your dog......You MUST seek help from a vet. it is your responsibility.



Ok, so im pretty convinced my dog has parasites,however, i do not have the money to pay a vett...?

vet's



Ok, so im pretty convinced my dog has parasites,however, i do not have the money to pay a vett...?

Sorry but you need to see a vet so they can test for what it is so you can properly medicate it. Neosporin isn't going to solve the problem. See if they can work out a payment plan. Don't use OTC products, they have harsh chemicals that can kill your dog if not used properly.



Ok, so im pretty convinced my dog has parasites,however, i do not have the money to pay a vett...?

Could be mites, you can get some ointment and powder specifically for them at wal-mart pretty cheap.



Is it mange? Burnt motor oil is a good way to clear that up, just rub some into the skin and it kills the mange. Don't let your dog eat the oil as it will make it sick, so rub it in, then immeadeatly wipe it off and clean the area.



That is all I can recommend, if people give you a hard time about not going to the vet, don't worry, dude, I have been on hard times before too, I feel ya.



Ok, so im pretty convinced my dog has parasites,however, i do not have the money to pay a vett...?

First, I have to say that you need to take the dog to the vet. Put it on a credit card if you have to. Dogs cost money to keep healthy.



That said, I have an idea that may work. Perhaps your dog just has allergies. Try putting witch hazel (you can get it in any drugstore, and it's very cheap, like a dollar a bottle) on your dog's "hot spots." It shouldn't burn, and I have a friend who swears by it for his dog's hot spots (raw spots where the hair has been chewed off).



Ok, so im pretty convinced my dog has parasites,however, i do not have the money to pay a vett...?

Your dog absolutely needs a proper diagnosis and treatment, and there are two things you can do.



1. Get a phone book and call all of your area vets. Ask them if they will allow you to make payments. See if you are eligible for Care Credit, which a lot of vets will accept. (It's a credit card for paying vet bills.)



2. Surrender your dog to the SPCA or Humane Society. You will no longer have a dog, but your dog will receive the veterinary care he requires. It might not be your choice, but your dog should not suffer because you can't afford to have him.



Ok, so im pretty convinced my dog has parasites,however, i do not have the money to pay a vett...?

you can try bathing him with flea/tick shampoo (follow the directions) but most likely he will need to be diagnosed by a vet. Start saving or go hock something...



Ok, so im pretty convinced my dog has parasites,however, i do not have the money to pay a vett...?

You might try calling a vet and explaining the symptons and your curcumstances; that you are not in a financial positition to bring the dog in and are seeking advice. You would be surprised to find that most are willing to help or work with you if he needs medical treatment outside of something over the counter. It certainly is nothing lost to take that route. Worst case scenario is that if they are unwilling to offer assistance or advice, you will know that is one vet you don't want to use when and if you are in a postion to use one in the future.



Ok, so im pretty convinced my dog has parasites,however, i do not have the money to pay a vett...?

Sell your computer and pay for the vet!!!!!!!!



Ok, so im pretty convinced my dog has parasites,however, i do not have the money to pay a vett...?

Go to petco or Walmart and get the meds you need there. You're dog is slowly being sucked out of every needed nutrients and will die. But you will have very health parasites. Just goofing. A dog is a costly responsibility. It needs parvo shots, rabies, flea shampoo, heart meds and lots of love. If you are not in the position to accept these responsibilities now a mature,loving and unselfish thing to do is give it to someone who can and wait until you can get a job to afford another dog. There are many great dogs out there that need a good home. You will find one when you are financially ready.



Ok, so im pretty convinced my dog has parasites,however, i do not have the money to pay a vett...?

I understand that sometimes you just don't have money for a vet visit. I hope you at least have money to pick up the treatments.



Are you sure that he does not have fleas? Fleas tend to congregate where you are saying he is chewing. If he is allergic to fleas, he'll darn near chew his tail off trying to scratch the itch. If he does have fleas, bath him with a good flea shampoo (Not that hartz crap either) and then put a monthly preventative like Frontline on him to keep them from coming back.



If he is scooting his butt on the ground, that isn't a sign of worms like people used to say but rather a sign of impacted anal glands. That is very annoying to them and they'll chew around the base of their tail for that as well. You'll have to get a vet or a groomer to take care of that. A groomer will generally charge about $5-10 for that. If he's not scooting his butt though, probably not the problem.



You can buy over the counter wormers at any pet supply store (Petco, PetSmart). I would avoid the stuff from Walmart because it's generally garbage (there's a reason it's so cheap). If you live where there are farm supply stores, they will have them as well. You can also get a tube of Safeguard wormer for horses. It is VERY safe, you can overdose them and it won't hurt them. A tube will run you about $7-8 and it's enough to treat a 1250 pound horse, so it will last your dog a lifetime. This will get tapeworms in addition to the usual parasites. I've done this a million times with dogs dumped here in addition to my own, works like a charm and my vet ok'ed it as well.



As for the places where his skin is raw, you really need a topical antibiotic made for animals. At the pet supply store, look for some type of oil for dry itchy skin, something with tea tree oil would be great.



When I lived in a major city, the vets were all Payment Due At Time Of Service. No exceptions, no sympathy. I'm in the country now. My vet just puts it all on my bill. I drop off $20 or $40 every week until I'm caught up. If you're near a rural town, might try calling one of the clinics there.



Ok, so im pretty convinced my dog has parasites,however, i do not have the money to pay a vett...?

Are you sure it is parasites? My dog did that and it was food allergies. I understand the money situation. It sucks. I went to the vet ($40) just so they could tell me to switch food($40). You should call a local no-kill shelter. When I'm low on cash I try that and they have always told me to bring my dog in. You may just want to show up there, so they can't turn you away. In my case, they just gave me what I needed. But even if they charge you, it won't be nearly as much. Just make sure to make a hefty donation to the shelter when you have more cash. Good luck.



Poor people are entitled to have pets too, and I am sure that you love yours very much.



Ok, so im pretty convinced my dog has parasites,however, i do not have the money to pay a vett...?

please seek medical attention for your pet, he depends on you (his family) for his care. Good Luck.



Ok, so im pretty convinced my dog has parasites,however, i do not have the money to pay a vett...?

Try and find a vet in your area that treats animals at a low cost. There's always one somewhere. Your other option is to surrender your dog to your local ASPCA. Let them know what the situation is - your dog is sick and you can't afford to take care of it - and they will take custody of your dog, and give him a good home. There are so many things that could be wrong with him. Hopefully, it isn't too late to save is life.

How to safely clean...?

How can you safely clean the insides of a pop-up toaster? I usually just shake the crumbs into the trash. But this time, when I opened the bottom of it there were spider webs %26amp; dog hair in it~Nasty!! Would it be ok to run hot water through the unplugged toaster and let it dry thouroghly before using it again or would that damage it?



How to safely clean...?

unplug the toaster and remove the bottom trap door then shake the toaster holding iupsiode down u can gently vaccum the inside being carful to not touch the wires etc then put back together



How to safely clean...?

Although it would be perfectly acceptable to run water through an UNPLUGGED toaster and let it dry, this can possibly cause rust. (unless of course the toaster is stainless steel inside as well as out) Suprisingly old fashioned rubbing alchohol would work better because of the evaporation factor. The alchohol will clean (and kill germs) but cannot cause oxidation because it evaporates quickly. However, whether you use water or alchohol, make sure it is DRY!!! before plugging in or you can cause damage to the toaster or a fire in the case of alchohol.



How to safely clean...?

do not run water thru a toaster! take it out side and use the wand on your vaccuum cleaner on exhaust and blow the garbage out, or just toss the thing out and get a new unit they`re dirt cheap and easy to find, especially with xmas coming up, they are all over the place



How to safely clean...?

I would not run water in it.....They are very cheap at Wal-Mart I would just buy another one. Like $10.



If you are wanting to save it you could.



#1 If you have an air-compressor you could blow it out.

Is it okay if i get a hamster or pet with hair if i have allergies?

can anyone help me? i need an answer quick. see i have allergies to fur and any animal that has fur and i've asked all of my friends and they all said its probably okay if i get a hairless pet or a dog that doesn't shed. but ever since i was achild i've always wanted a pet hamster, dog or even a cat i don't really care what kind but i just really want a pet companion. can anyone give me a name of a breed of a cat, dog or any other pet i could have that can have? it would be a great help.



Is it okay if i get a hamster or pet with hair if i have allergies?

If you are prone to alergies, then having pets of your own is probably not a good idea. But that doesn't mean you cannot enjoy your friends pets.

Best vacuum cleaner?

I'm looking for a good quality handheld vacuum cleaner that won't die as soon as you remove it from the charger. It'll be used mostly for picking up dog hair, so it should be decently strong. Even one that isn't cordless is fine, as long as it's strong.



Best vacuum cleaner?

unfortunately, my experience with charger type vacuums is they just don't last. you might have to consider a old fashioned cord!! I have searched for years for one...no luck yet. if you do buy a corded one, consider one with a rolling brush, I own a dirt devil. It's just o.k. and very loud.



good luck.

Are you supposed to tip your dog groomer?

Like you tip your hair stylist? If so, what's the standard amount? Do you tip if the groomer owns the business?



Are you supposed to tip your dog groomer?

I don't take my dogs to a groomer - but after having worked with someone who groomed on the side and bathing a few dogs for her in a pinch - I definetly would if I was satisfied with their work. Grooming is alot more difficult than you may think. Especially if the owner doesn't upkeep the coat or the dog isn't well behaved.



I doubt there's a standard amount - it doesn't even have to be money, as Jennifer T pointed out. Just a little something to show you appreciate what they're doing.



You can't really compare it to a human going to a hairstylist. You sit still. You don't try to bite, scratch, snarl or bark at your hairstylist. You do not urinate or have a bowel movement wile they're trying to do your hair. You don't try to jump out of the chair or fight when they try to wash your hair. There are groomers that have to deal with this for some dogs.



Are you supposed to tip your dog groomer?

I never tip the dog groomer. Maybe I am a bit selfish, but I figure I'm paying $60 for a dog shampoo and haircut. That's for only a couple of hours of work! They are making plenty enough money off of me!



Are you supposed to tip your dog groomer?

Some people do, some people don't. It is not expected that you tip, like it is in a restaurant, but if you really like your dog's cut. than they accept tips and are usually very grateful. I give a 5 dollar tip if I really like my dogs cut, but that is for a full service trim. I would still tip if the groomer owned the place, she would still appreciated it and did as much work as she would have had she not owned the place.



Are you supposed to tip your dog groomer?

u dont have to... i dont know anyone that does.... u dont have to tip waiters and waitress.... but most people do



Are you supposed to tip your dog groomer?

I don't tip my dog's groomer. I think $60 is too much to groom a dog in the first place.



Are you supposed to tip your dog groomer?

that's left up to you-did you like the look of your pet when they are done? Do you want a last minute appt? TIPS stands for: To Insure Proper Service. If you like your groomer and want to keep their services, consider it.



Are you supposed to tip your dog groomer?

Tips are really designed to reward satisfactory or excellent work. If you groomer is the greatest, feel free to tip generously. If your groomer is not so good...don't, then find a better groomer. Many of my customers give me neat things like "Best Groomer" certificates for my walls and pics of their dogs on vacation or in Christmas photos. Trust me, any token of appreciation is cherished.



Are you supposed to tip your dog groomer?

no you really dont have to. i mean if u want to go aa head but, its not really expected.



Are you supposed to tip your dog groomer?

I always do. Of course I also take in 5 dogs at once! All of the dogs love this lady and she is sooooo good with them. I think she deserves a little extra something!

I have clean sheets on my bed?

The comforters and pillows have all been thoroughly cleaned, not one speck of dog hair anywhere. Do you think that Lonely Bastard will spend the night with me now?



The lil puppy is in her kennel and my ex took my beagle I am flea and VD free.... Do you think I have a chance?



I have clean sheets on my bed?

I'm packing my bags even as I type. All I was waiting for was clean sheets so I can soil them while we romp in them all night long =)



I'm on my way xoxo



I have clean sheets on my bed?

oh NO--you lost the beagle???? Life is over...it would be if my ex took mine...



I have clean sheets on my bed?

Sure he'll spend the night with you. But what's going to be left of you when I'm done? Told you before babe. Just sh*t and a bit o'hair. So ferget it. I'll send the bits to 'em in a plastic baggy.



I have clean sheets on my bed?

Well, I would certainly come over because my sheets are stiff in spots.



I have clean sheets on my bed?

I think he will



I have clean sheets on my bed?

Looks like he's ready and willing. You sure weren't this accommodating when I came over for our all night drunk-fest, Margo.



I definitely didn't appreciate having to clear all of those empty liquor bottles out of the bathtub before I passed out.



I have clean sheets on my bed?

i should change the sheets on my bed. i was gonna do it for hubby , for his birthday and all, but then i folded all his socks for him ,instead.



well, not folded , necc .. but there's all in one basket together, without any towels in there ,or anything.



oh wait .. the question, yeah..



if that LovelyBastard won't, you could borrow mine for the night.



Just teach him something new ,while you've got him, would ya?



I have clean sheets on my bed?

I was going to say yes, but see he is on his way...don't do anything I wouldn't. tee hee



YES...YOU HAVE A GOOD CHANCE NOW!!!



I have clean sheets on my bed?

um, Margo...I just got my test results back babe. Sorry to inform you that you are NOT VD free. Sorry



I have clean sheets on my bed?

I think stains and smelly sheets give your bed more character. Why would you want to change that?



I have clean sheets on my bed?

id rather get another std from you. so no, i wont come over now.
