Hmm.... I just noticed that Gizmo looks blind in that picture, how do I take that out? I can take the red out of Pearls eyes (I forgot to do that in that one, makes her look like a demon) Gizmo acts like a cat as well, even the stuck up attitude of when you call him to come to you he most of the time just looks at you without moving a inch, unless it is his idea forget about him sitting on your lap or laying by you. Karen, I have never seen a Shih Tzu the color of Cody, that is a awesome color (I could only see the first one however, my computer likes to play games with me) I had one that looked just like Buddy and my mothers Shih Tzu has the same grin as Alex:) All you Shih Tzu owners, does your dogs love those stuffed squeak toys to distraction?? No one is allowed to play with them (works great for getting him to come in when he is playing the game of ignoring you while outside)he will squeak and squeak on them until the squeak is gone, it is almost like a type of aggression therapy for him. I loved seeing everyones pet pictures, a lot of beautiful animals on here:)

Okay, so I pulled two of the four tonight, found nice strong green babies with at least three regular leaves (not including seedling leaves) to graft to and then got the shakes working with something so small! LOL! I cut and then taped carefully making sure that the cut edges were tight together. Now we wait. They are so small. But I figure if they will die anyway, why not try it now and see what happens? The only loss I will really have is the fine strapping young 'uns I chose to slice into to try to save the white ones. I really picked out the two best out of seven hundred or so. I was spending time (obviously) looking over all of my babies with a critical eye tonight and was amazed at how much I love looking at them! Even with seven hundred to look at. I have to remind myself not to go crazy trying to pamper them and poke at them and water and water. Sometimes I worry the poor things, I am sure. I am one of those plant people who have so little patience! :-) So ... as for grafting these little guys ... anyone want to take a stab at how long, in their tender green baby condition, it might take before I should check on the grafting process and see if it is working? Months? A week or two? I have never ever grafted anything, so I don't have a CLUE. I will of course research it, but I was just wondering if anyone had a suggestion or two? I also wonder if the white seedlings will (if they share nutrients) turn green by picking up some chloraphyll? I kind of hope they don't. I would love for them to STAY white! :-) Peace ~ Ang

What about using some vintage furniture decals? There are some on the inside of my cabinet doors that appear to have held up amazingly well for the last 50-60 years. http://www.ebay.com/sch/Tole-Decals-Transfers-/41215/i.html http://www.ebay.com/sch/Tole-Decals-Transfers-/41215/i.html?_nkw=vintage+meyercord+decals&_pgn=2&_skc=50&rt=nc Many of them are totally gawdawful but I like these butterflies and these birds. Edit: Writing everything in Yoda syntax, I considered. Too difficult, it was.

Our two Bichons, plus one who crossed the bridge...all are rescues, and we keep their hair short. :O) My happy faced little boy, who will celebrate his 16th birthday in April. Our littlest, who loves to roll in the dirt (when she does that, she's Dirty Pearl, Pirate Girl): Our darling little pretty pretty princess, Bijou, gone too too soon...
