RE: Those Glowing Eyes
I've noticed that, too - that my dog's eyes glow with different color. My big Aussie has a "marble" eye (brown with a fleck of blue in it) and that eye glows twice as bright as the other one....
And Jimmy and Ike's glow red, while Jack's glow green.

RE: Loose dog attacked me and my dog
I guess it wouldn't occur to me about dropping the leashes.... when my "pack" is being approached by a loose dog, I put them in "sit-stay" at my side - looking at ME. Because yes, 3 leashed dogs out of control WOULD be a handful....
Granted - they might not be "quiet" - the Aussies whining to go play with the new friend - and the Cattle Dog with full hackles up and growling his scariest noises....
And it's a liability thing - I want my dogs looking 100% under control - so *if* they do damage to a loose and stupid (I'm tellin' ya - the Cattle Dog does NOT look "playful"!) dog, I stand a chance of winning a court battle....

RE: Do dogs go to Heaven?
I think there are more dogs in heaven than humans.
So true - all you need to do is watch the news and realize that many humans are skating on the "thin ice of eternity"....LOL!!!!

RE: Loose dog attacked me and my dog
For some of us - it works the "other way", too - I was walking my Aussie and Cattle Dog (leashed) on a path, and a loose Border Collie came bounding out of the underbrush at us! Now everything about this dog read "friendly and loveable" - but I started yelling "Call your dog back" "Call your Dog NOW"!! and a voice from back in the brush says "It's OK - she's friendly" and I yelled back "Mine's NOT and he's going to hurt her". The guy whistled, and the dog ran back to him.
Even though he's socialized, my Cattle Dog will NOT tolerate a strange dog running up to me without a "proper introduction".

RE: Loose dog attacked me and my dog
While I think that's a great (and effective) idea - it's against the law to carry these in Michigan (other than when moving stock) and probably other states, as well??
Bear spray, on the other hand, seems pretty legal.... :-)
also there is some form of dog-mace, is different than for humans...
a CO2 extingisher fired close to the snouth....
besides, carring a small extinguisher in hand is less fearfull to others than to carry a spray-baton-or handgun!or if loose dogs are an issue in your area you could carry.....

RE: Christmas Commercials!
I love Christmas! Embrace it, don't fight it. Lets have Christmas all year round! :)
Sorry - Grinch here. I have relatives who have made Christmas the "Season of Ridiculous Excess and Expectations" and knowing it's around the corner makes me cringe.....

RE: Another stick house flooring question
We spent a weekend in this Frank Lloyd Wright home - it had stained concrete floors, which were warm to the eye (and touch- radiant heat)
There's tons of pictures on this website - you'll have to scroll down to get to the interior pictures showing the floor

RE: 8 Sights Every American Should See
Strange list, indeed. I remember going to Gettysburg and being SO dismayed by the "tourist trap" feel of the area. Graceland?? Huh??
The places that have been tops on our list:
Yellowstone/Tetons
Grand Canyon
Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor
Valdez, AK
Kona, HI
The Keys, FL
Moab, UT
And if I had to pick a building: Fallingwater (Frank Lloyd Wright's design at Bear Run, PA)

RE: Pictures of the Fifty Ugliest Cars of the Past 50 Years.
I still see some of those admittedly ugly cars....at the drag race track. With a few modifications and some cool paint - and BIG WIDE SLICKS...even the ugliest car can become "cool"!!!
Regarding cars like the Ferrari, Beetle, etc....the author must not understand the difference between "unique" and "ugly".
From a confirmed lover of "Bugs" :-)

RE: Swine Flu Vaccine?
Something I've noticed: it's not the H1N1 virus that kills healthy people - it's complications that come afterward. A healthy man in his 30'2 recently died of encephalitis after getting over the swine flu.
*IF* you are unlucky enough to catch the swine flu - be VERY aware of high fevers/rashes...or a new set of symptoms just as you think you're getting better. Don't delay seeking medical help.

RE: Help me decide on a car
take a look at the Malibu or Impala...both good looking cars and good gas mileage, think the Malibu can be towed without mods..have to check the book..I own an 05 Malibu, i tow it,and it gets 30-35 mpg on the highway...
I agree! We own a used car lot, and both those models are VERY popular because you get so much car for your money. Our personal car for 8 years was a Lexus LS 430; and I must admit that a nicely appointed Impala rides/drives just as nice at about 1/3 the price....LOL!!!

Dogs and Time Change (or lack thereof...)
OMG!!! I'm at work and my dogs are driving me crazy because "it's time to go home". Of course, the clock says it's only 4:30 - but try to convince the hounds of that.....LOL!!!
I'll bet I'm not the only one with pets whose internal clocks haven't changed?!

RE: NASCAR does it again
They can drop restrictor plate racing and go with shorter race track programs.
More fender rubbin' short track racin'. Maybe even a couple of dirt track races.
I have to agree - in yesterday's race, it provided a nice nap for the first 4/5ths of the race - then I actually watched the last 30 laps or so......

RE: Dog has Motion Sickness!
When Jimmy (Aussie/poodle mix) was a pup - he was prone to sickness after 20 minutes in the car...if I knew we'd be traveling, I'd pick up his food so he was riding on an almost-empty tummy and it seemed to help.
But it all seemed to pass with time - as he got more relaxed in the car, the sickness went away. He still has his quirks regarding the car, though - will only get into the car on the driver's side, for example....LOL!!

RE: reason one would not want to hook up to sewer?
That allows you to choose a more scenic camp site at MOST RV Parking lots and often that means getting out of the parking lot and down to the lake front.
That's what crossed my mind, too? If I had a choice of a "regular" space with sewer, or a scenic one without - I'd opt for scenic. Of course, we seldom stay more than a few days in any one place anyway, so we only hook up when we're ready to dump.

RE: Another reason why I'd rather RV....
DW just got a shiney new hip, and a little plastic official card for her wallet to use at such security check points. Do those cards actually help at all?
We haven't flown yet since she got it, and I'm just curious what we're up against? I'd be more than happy to take the MH everywhere, but it will be hard to drive it to Puerto Rico for the winter cruise departure we're considering. ;)
Here's what happened the last time I flew: the hip sets off the metal detector. The card (I have one, too) means NOTHING to them - any terrorist could make a similar card.
So you get sent to the "wand" person - and the wand picks up ANY metal. Not just the hip - it picked up my underwire bra, also. And ever since a couple of women tried to carry explosives onto a plane tucked in their bras...... THAT's when you get sent to the "Grope Box" :-(
The Grope Box is a plexiglass room in the middle of the gate entry...where a female attendant politely feels to make sure you have on an underwire bra with no "extras". Of course EVERY PERSON boarding the plane gets to watch this process.....
So that's why I prefer the MH
