Collars, crates, & other cool things / new food bowl
« on: September 05, 2006, 02:35:07 pm »
someone may have already posted on this.  we just got in the store a new bowl called "brake-fast".  it is a food dish that has "pegs" in it.  The dog has to slow down and work the food around these pegs.  This is supposed to cut down on gastric torsion.  I think it sounds like a great product.  Wonder if anyone has it and how it works with their dogs.

Giant Schnauzer Discussions / Long time no post....
« on: April 02, 2006, 11:26:16 am »
Well just thought I would say "hi".  It has been a long time since I have posted.  I started a new job a couple of months ago and been working alot of OT which has cut down on my internet time.  By the time I get home there is just to much to do to "surf".  But today I thought I would grab an opportunity to post.  I hope all you BPOers are doing ok. Talk soon...

Games & Jokes / TO ALL THE KIDS WHO SURVIVED the 20s-70s...very cute-will take you back...
« on: December 03, 2005, 01:10:07 am »
TO ALL THE KIDS WHO SURVIVED the
1920's,1930's 40's, 50's, 60's and 70's !!
 
First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they
carried us.
They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a can, and didn't get tested for diabetes.
 
Then after that trauma, our baby cribs were covered with bright colored
lead-based paints.
We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets and when we !
rode our bikes, we had no helmets, not to mention, the risks we took
hitchhiking.
 
As children, we would ride in cars with no seat belts or air bags.
 
Riding in the back of a pick up on a warm day was always a special treat.
We drank water from the garden hose and NOT from a bottle.
 
We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and NO ONE
actually died from this.
We ate cupcakes, white bread and real butter and drank soda pop with sugar in it, but
we weren't overweight because
WE WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING !
We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back
when the streetlights came on.
 
No one was able to reach us all day. And we were O.K.
 
We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then ride down
the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. After running into the
bushes a few times, we learned to solve the problem.
We did not have Play stations, Nintendo's, X-boxes, no video games at all, no
99 channels on cable, no video tape movies, no surround sound, no cell
phones, no personal computers, no Internet or Internet chat
rooms......... .WE HAD FRIENDS and we went outside and found them!
We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and! teeth and there were no
lawsuits from these accidents.
We ate worms and mud pies made from dirt, and  the worms did not live in us forever.
We were given BB guns for our 10th birthdays,
made up gam es with sticks and tennis balls and although we were told it would happen, we did not put out very many eyes.   
 
We rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and knocked on the door or rang
the bell, or just walked in and talked to them!
Little League had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn't
had to learn to deal with disappointment . Imagine that!!
The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of. They
actually sided with the law!
This generation has produced some of the best risk-takers, problem solvers
and inventors ever!
The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas.
We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned
HOW TO
DEAL WITH IT ALL!
 
And YOU are one of them! CONGRATULATION S!   
 
You might want to share this with others who have had the luck to grow up as
kids, before the lawyers and the government regulated our lives for our own good.
and while you are at it, forward it to your kids so they will know how brave their parents were.
Kind of makes you want to run through the house with scissors, doesn't it?!


Thought this was tooo cute!

Giant Schnauzer Discussions / Giant Schnauzers have taught me...
« on: November 30, 2005, 12:26:39 am »
this is a little skit me and a fellow giant owning friend put together.  it is what giants have taught us-all true stuff...

Giants Schnauzers have taught me . . .
 
That DVDs don’t need the box or the plastic case,

They have taught me that “holey drawers” can still be worn and holey socks too; I may have to take up the long lost art of “darning” socks.
 
They have taught me,
That I should never attempt to walk across the floor by myself-I could fall and get hurt and not have a big dog to land on.
 
They have taught me that toy poodles CAN “live” and “thrive” on the couch only.
 
That rolling in the mud is fun- just let yourself go (I'm still trying to get the hang of it though).
 
Never share your food unless you can steal someone else's even it is worse than what your eating-it's the fun of it!
 
That window glass can vibrate from a dog's bark and so can my head.
 
That chair seats don't need corners-no more banging your shins on that thing! And splinters aren't near as painful and don't leave a bruise...
 
That Giant toenails can hold 2.7 pounds of mud underneath and make 10 lbs of clay dust when dry.  This is great when you’re tired of that sparkling clean look and have nothing better to do.
 
That you can wear chewed shoes in Wal-mart & no one will notice- who looks at your feet anyway?
 
Those fingernails are only good, if you use them to scratch giant backs.
 
That you don't need to see the T.V. to enjoy a good program...and how to watch a show between cropped giant ears.
 
That gas is a laughing matter, or you would cry.
 
Those portable phones still work after they have been chewed on, called Thailand and dunked in the water bowl.
 
That cells phones are so small these days they can be concealed in the mouth while giving you that “what did you lose mom? Look”.
 
That keys with keypad for your car must be kept higher than 6 feet off the floor or you will go out and find your car with all the doors unlocked, and the trunk up, and the radio on & the battery nearly dead. And I still don't know how they got that radio station to come in- I can't.
 
That you can never drink too much water and never pass up the opportunity to put a wet beard on someone's bare leg.
 
That company's crotches are nice places for giant noses.   
 
That I can “sit on the throne” while a giant’s head is in my lap.
 
Chasing cars is great exercise for the body AND the lungs....
“STOPPPP! HALT!! OFFFF! COMEBACK”!
*pant, pant* (that’s me not the dogs),
“STOP! STAY! STAY! SIT! DOWN! ANYTHING! PLEASE”!!!
 
That I should answer the door with a firm hand on the choke collar and God forbid I might have to "sign" for anything.

Any size lap is NEVER too small for even the largest of giants and insists upon pulling, pushing, twisting, nudging, cuddling, wriggling, poking, and digging in till every inch is sitting securely on me.

So you see my Giant has educated me very well and I wouldn’t have it any other way…

17. You don't have to wear a watch because it doesn't matter what time

You know you're from Tennessee if:

vegetable, grain, insect or animal.

unlocked.

7. You carry jumper cables in your car...for your OWN car.
8. You know what "cow tipping" is.
9. You only own four spices: salt, pepper, Tabasco and catsup.
10. The local papers cover national and international news on one page
but require 6 pages for local gossip and sports.
11. You think that the first day of deer season is a national holiday.
12. You find 100 degrees Fahrenheit "a little warm".
13. You know all four seasons: Almost Summer, Summer, still Summer and
Christmas.
14. You know whether another Tennessean is from east, west or middle
Tennessee as soon as they open their mouth.
15. Going to Wal-mart is a favorite past time known as "goin' off to
"Wally World".
16. You describe the first cool snap (below 70 degrees) as good
pinto-bean weather.
17. A carbonated soft drink isn't a soda, cola or pop...it's a Coke,
regardless of brand or flavor. Example: "What kinda coke you want?"
18. Fried catfish is the other white meat.
19. You understand these jokes and forward them to your friends from
Tennessee (and those who just wish they were).
Not EVERYONE can be a Tennessean; it's an art form and a gift from God!

Games & Jokes / How many dogs does it take to change a light bulb
« on: November 15, 2005, 11:27:29 pm »
got this today in an email.  its very cute...you all may have seen it before....

How many dogs does it take to change a light bulb?

1. Golden Retriever: The sun is shining, the day is young, we've got our whole lives ahead of us, and you're inside worrying about a stupid burned out bulb?

2. Border Collie: Just one. And then I'll replace any wiring that's not up to code. . .

3. Dachshund: You know I can't reach that stupid lamp!

4. Rottweiler: Make me.

5. Boxer: Who cares? I can still play with my squeaky toys in the dark.

6. Lab: Oh, me, me!!!!! Pleeeeeeeeeze let me change the light bulb! Can I? Can I? Huh? Huh? Huh? Can I? Pleeeeeeeeeze, please, please, please!

7. German Shepherd: I'll change it as soon as I've led these people from the dark, check to make sure I haven't missed any, and make just one more perimeter patrol to see that no one has tried to take advantage of the situation.

8. Jack Russell Terrier: I'll just pop it in while I'm bouncing off the walls and furniture.

9. Old English Sheep Dog: Light bulb? I'm sorry, but I don't see a light bulb!

10. Cocker Spaniel: Why change it? I can still pee on the carpet in the dark.

11. Chihuahua: Yo quiero Taco Bulb. Or "We don't need no steenking light bulb."

12. Greyhound: It isn't moving. Who cares?

13. Australian Shepherd: First, I'll put all the light bulbs in a little circle...

14. Poodle: I'll just blow in the Border Collie's ear and he'll do it. By the time he finishes rewiring the house, my nails will be dry.

How many cats does it take to change a light bulb?

Cats do not change light bulbs. People change light bulbs. So, the real question is:
"How long will it be before I can expect some light, some dinner, and a massage?"

ALL OF WHICH PROVES, ONCE AGAIN, THAT WHILE DOGS HAVE MASTERS, CATS HAVE STAFF!
