how do i convince my husband to let me at least job-share so i can take care of our 3 month old dd? he grew up with his mom working & all his friend's moms working. we can afford it if we cut back on some things, but he doesn't want to cut back & just doesn't understand someone wanting to be a stay at home mom...it doesn't help mycause that the grandmothers will babysit. i'm so unhappy about having to go back to work...he wants me to work full time 1 more year & just doesn't get it! i feel like my heart is being ripped from my chest every time i hink about it.

I had to shave the Big Boys this summer. They look like overlarge whippets. I had no idea Bogart was all legs. I used Frontline on him and it didn't take--his coat was too thick. He had a flea allergy so off he went for shaving. He enjoyed it so much I got Sparky done also.


They almost look like Labs now.


With the heat wave, I am glad I did it. Yesterday, at 9:00 am, it was already 97 degrees. Yuck!


Poor Cysduck.


Batmanuel: I must say, I find your sister strangely compelling. Do you think she'd care to go out with me?”
Arthur: What? NO! She's married. She's got two kids.
Batmanuel: Oh yes, I thought I knew that scent! A soccer mommy! It's my only weakness

Thank you asking and may I burst into tears now? I've been holding them in. It's my "prince charming" dog. He has something called "mascular myosisites" or inflammation of the masticular muscles. The researchers don't know how or why dogs get it, but basically, the dog's antibodies begin to eat away at his muscles in the head/jaw. I took him to emergency on Friday because he had a swollen head, he was refusing all food and water, he was drooling, and his jaws were clamped shut.

I was told he was having an allergic reaction to an insect bite. Of course, nothing made him better . . . and he kept refusing food and water because it hurt him to eat! And on top of that, he was cowering whenever I went near him, which was breaking my heart, because it hurt when I patted his head. But who knew?

My vet finally figured it out yesterday. See, all his vital signs for perfectly normal . . . except for an elevated WBC. It was that and the initial drooling that got her attention. Now he's on steroids and polished off two bowls of boiled hamburger and rice last night. Yeah!

Isn't it weird how you come to see your pets as your own children? It was killing me to see him refuse food and water. Then he would just lie there on the floor, starring off into space. I was dying.

You have to show me pics of your shaved dog. I hate mats. It's also why I pay a small fortune to have them regularly groomed. :-)
