RE: baka: no blockages but still having hind end problems
Hi Laura. The symptoms sound like Lyme Disease. Our Charisma experienced the same upset stomach and lameness last summer.

Hi Pat. I made the switch. There is a choice for receiving in html. Is that legal now?

Urine Masking
Hi helpful listers. I have a friend in Texas with 3 pound dogs that use her large yard as their relief area. She cleans the solids up, but the urine smell has lead to a neighbor war, especially in the Texas heat. An retired couple with too much time on their hands has called the warden so many times that he is threatening her with dog removal. Does anyone know of a product that will mask the smell but not harm the plants or lawn? She has tried mild soapy water, but it does not help. Thanks, David Sandler and Charisma ( my s**t doesn't stink)
Movie alert-Good Boy!
Hi. Friends of ours saw the Nemo movie this weekend and there was a trailer for a movie due out in October called Good Boy!. The premise is a 12-yr. old dog walker gets a dog of his own, who is a spy from Sirius sent to see how all the dogs sent to colonize hearth are doing. The star isn't a berner, but one of the dogs in the group is! Something to look forward to this fall. David Sandler and Charisma (can I go to!?!?)
Re: vacuums
Our current girl, Charisma comes running over when Paula brings out the vacuum. She makes it difficult to vacuum the house, since she is right in front of the attachment, waiting for more suction! Our last girl, Eureka! also loved the vacuum. The strange part was that our black cat, Goblin, would fight Eureka! for the vacuum's attention! Go figure.

It just seemed a natural progression from doing the stairs to doing the dog at the bottom of the stairs! :) Rhona and Louis who was 2 years old on Sunday __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
