What is your quirk? Of the subject a bit, but fun!
Comments (31)I will eat almost everything but I have a DH who just has to be the pickyest person in the world. This means I have to cook two different dinners on many nights. DH won't eat anything with onions, garlic, oregano, mayonnaise,salad dressing, cabbage, broccoli, spinach (or any other greens),fish of any kind,and no tropical fruit. He wont eat any type of casserole, pasta or potato salad.He won't eat things where one food is touching another. He will eat hash browns and french fried potatoes only, no other kind of potatoes. When we want to have spaghetti, I have to make two sauces, we like the traditional Italian type while he wants some ground beef, some tomato sauce and some chili powder for spice. He will never try anything new. He lives on chicken, pork chops, beef, peas, corn, green beans, chili beans,french fries and bread. It is such a shame as he is missing so many good foods. I get a headache just thinking about what I can't feed him. If the day comes and we aren't together(after 49 years of marriage), the first thing I will ask a suitor,is what do you like to eat.LOL...See MoreEver wondered what your pets would do?
Comments (14)my black lab will go nuts if you fall down. he thinks you want to paly at first, but if you don't get up he starts grabbing you by the arm or leg and tryign to drag you. heck, he does this to me if i SIT on the ground. as to teh play fighting, my daughter and i do it all the time. whether she screams like she is hurting or whether i scream like SHE is hurting me, he bites me! not hard, but hard enough to let you know to stop. if anyone not living here does it, he bristles up and gets a REAL MEAN growl going. he does the samee thign if my wife is alone and someone he does not know or know well comes in. we had him at the office one day and the local PD Special ops Drug task force came by to pick up their radios. my wife was up front by herself, just her and Beau. it was funny to watch him run 6 big guys back out the door. they actually held the front door shut so he could not get out! and these guys go up against drug dealers who all have BIG dogs in teh house. to this day if the Spec Ops guys come by they stick their head in and if that big dog is there. he is only an avg sized lab, but i guess the sounds he made seemed like he was huge....See MoreWhat Pet Accent Decor do you have In your Home
Comments (11)What BIG dogs! I have four and the largest is a Lab. Smallest weighs less than 7lbs at 7 months. I don't usually throw so much of the same in one room, but when we built this house, DS said he "did not want dead things in his (guest) bedroom." Like we ever had dead things around the house when he was growing up! lol Since we live in the woods, I didn't want to go that direction, so I went with dogs. Corner to left of bed. These are new prints and one of the last things I bought. Tired of searching for older prints with dogs that would work with the room: I went a tad overboard. Have two pictures in a drawer. :-/ I bought the material for long pillow on bed from ebay and had a friend sew the pillow. It features a hunting scene with dogs and horses. We live in a horse community, so i like the horses thrown in. The room is quite large (16x12) so things are fairly spread out. Doesn't scream DOGS when you walk in. lol Corner to right of bed. Dog TV lamp from the 50s is one of the first things I bought for the room. I had it made into a table lamp: Better photo of vintage picture: Dogs items on/above highboy: Vintage etchings over desk. We have a wheat Cairn Terrier that looks just like the bottom etching: There is a vintage dog bookend for a doorstop in the room, but no photos. I have two Boston Terrier doorstops in the house (one black/white, one brown/white). Cat lamp in sunroom. Was mine when I was a baby. Vintage etchings in kitchen on either side of range/hood. One features deer, the other dogs:...See MoreWhat have your pets done to your homes!?
Comments (109)I have two new rugs I haven't put down yet. I need to prepare and get a dog gate to put the innocent looking little white dog behind when I leave the house to walk the Rottie. I always take her out before the walk but she always manages to squeeze out some pee an poo on the game room carpet just to let me know that all the attention is meant to go to her. Sometimes she does not think I notice the game room carpet so she does it on the carpet runner in my bedroom so I'll step on it on the way to bed. Next, before I lay the new carpets I need to go to Costco and get some pepper to sprinkle on and around the holes that the Rottie is digging around the house...thus tracking in much dirt. I also need to change the wall paint from flat to satin finish so I can repeatedly wash the walls that the digging Rottie and old Retriever lay against. For some strange reason my Retriever licks the base cabinets in the Kitchen. At night when I give her her pills in peanut butter she goes up to the cabinets and licks them. I'm so glad I didn't do the painted on the bottom as well because the dark stain works a bit better for hiding dog droolies if I don't see them right away to clean. Oh and my slider windows to the patio are starting to look abstract due to a hundred and twenty pounds of Rottweiler nails jumping on them. However, I think he's getting trained against doing that and now just bangs it with his head when he wants to come in. But...I have no chewing so I'm thankful for that....See MoreJasdip
