i have to say, navarre is great!  i couldn't be more thankful that she's watching axle for us!  sorry i didn't post earlier, but i've been sick.  anywho, i have to say that i LOVE daphne's face and izzy has the best personality ever!  thanks again for watching axle!

haha can't be any worst than when i tried to shave axle and the clippers broke half way done!  i totally jacked your thread lol sorry!

omg!  i love floyd's face!  how sweet!  bo sure is a looker!  i wish i had the time to have a long haired dog (and didn't move so much so i could)!  they're gorgeous!  thanks for putting those up for me!

congrads!  on the bottom of this page there is how to make a pvc cart, and also how to modify a child's wagon into a cart.  it also has some info on carting for you, though not as much as some other sites.  it has the basics, how to get your dog to accept a cart, and breaking to drive though.  someone on here (or two people maybe) cart, so they'll have more info.  good luck!

hadda ask about the belly button!  i would miss my innie if it turned into an outtie lol  i'm glad you said just a little line, how many stitches were there?  do you remember?  also, did they completely knock you out for it?  i'm going in tuesday for my pre-op (i don't think it's even really worth calling an operation since i'm getting out same morning!) so i guess i'll find out more, but i'm so paranoid they're going to want to just give me an epi and do it...  there's no way!  (ok, if you haven't figured it out yet, i'm a pessimist!)

i feel better about things now, i was worried about the drive only 8 days after (350 miles).  i'm glad you mentioned the gas-x, my doctor didn't bring that up!  how long until that stopped bothering you?  did they do the belly button thing with you, too?  will they push it back in again or will it look freaky or be an outty or something??

ugh the battery that site came up with is $198, guess he was telling the truth.

can that be the only one???  thats not fair 

ok, so first off, i'm going into the hospital on the 1st for a tubal.  yes, everyone agreed we're not comfortable with a partial lol.  it'll be a laproscoptic (sp?) tubal, and i'll be in about 8am and home by lunch the same day.  wild, huh?  i'm nervous, the doctor went into TOO much detail on what they do during the procedure.  did you know they go in through your belly button and pump your tummy up with carbon dioxide (isn't that the right gas?) to get everything out of the way??  he said after that they'll put a band on my tubes and drain as much gas out as they can.  he said they won't get it all out, they never can, and it'll hurt my right shoulder b/c of a nerve that goes towards my tummy from the shoulder.  apparently, as soon as i wake up and can stand and walk a bit i can go home, and it should only take about 30 minutes for him to be done, and 1 1/2 hours total including knocking me out and bringing me back.  i wonder how certain the bands are??

on another note, maya is doing great!  she's 5 weeks old as of yesterday.  we went in for a dr's appt today, and it was perfect.  remember, when she was born, she weighed 6lbs 3oz? and was 19inches long?  well, today she was just shy of 13lbs!!  and catch this, was 22inches long (tall)!!!  for weight she is at 50% on the chart (meaning she's heavier than 50% of kids her age) and for height she was at the 95/95% (taller than 95/97% of kids her age).  she's gotten SO big!  i knew i wasn't exaggerating like hubby thought!  she's gone from preemie clothes all the way up to 0-3 month clothes, which are a tad tight as far as length goes.  my little monster!
