I had a boxer who ate my solid oak dining room table :o) A friend of mine had dobermans who ate her living room furniture.


>Some good tips there. I will try some of those. So far I have not been too concerned since I haven't seen him eating any, just playing with them in his mouth. No gnawing observed. He still chews most everything he can get in his mouth. This weekend he killed one of Emily's new sandals (not popular after that) and another doorstop, the third in the latter category. He's a Lab and they are notorious chewers. Will continue keeping an eye on him, the brat. I am looking out the window at him now and see he is asleep in a sunny spot on the deck. It's a dog's life....

>I just spent a few minutes screwing around with a new picture and trying unsuccessfully to upload a new picture. For some reason whatever I did to shrink the first one isn't working to the UT picture uploader's satisfaction now.

>>I have a friend whose dog wouldn't stop chewing rocks. It really became a problem. She followed the advice of giving more attention to no avail - she just ended up with a spoiled dog.

>>>PS -- Crash has learned a new trick. Eating rocks. I haven't seen him actually ingest any yet but now that the weather is nice and he is outside more he can lie in the sun and chew on rocks for hours. Maybe this explains the rocks in his head. To quote my daughter, Crash may be stoopid. Sydne is old, gray, and losing her hearing, but she is an Einstein compared to Crash. That must be part of his charm ;-)

>>>>That's what you get for using a Mac......

>>>>>I know. It reminds me of the first version of some of my software ;-) I took a normal photo on the Mac. By the time it was down to the size required by the UT, this is what I wound up with. It looks like one of those placeholder images, doesn't it? I will zoom in more and try again.

>>>>>>>>>Tell me why the US invaded iraq while there was no real evidence of WMD and there was in Iran, North Korea, India, Pakistan and maybe others?? Iraq was tightly controlled by inspections that found nothing. It was controled by no-fly zones and was under constant pressure. It was sold to you as such. By now, most of your government does not believe that argument themselves anymore.
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>I will not continue on the Iraq discussion with you anymore Walter. The many, many possibilities have been presented ad naseum here - including Krassimir Petrov's thoughts on it. You only keep denouncing the same over and over again but I don't recall anyone using only those statements you denounce. It's like a radio keeps playing over and over again and you can't change the channel. You don't even address or understand or consider the others. No matter what is presented you argue against something else. You keep arguing that everyone is wrong about something that no one is claiming. You claim that we were sold on something when you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. Just admit it Walter. You simply hate Americans and to justify that hate you put words into our mouths and imagine we believe things we don't. I don't know where your information is coming from but for an educated and intelligent person you are very uninformed or rather misinformed.
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>I don't think Walter hates Americans, just our current administration. I can relate to that.
