I haven't had a summer to myself in 34 years, I haven't been to a summer airshow in California in too long to remember because it has always been Oshkosh, Oshkosh, Oshkosh. Well, dammit, it's time to stop and smell the roses ... and I am. 2006 will be my 4th OSH. That *is* stopping and smelling the Jet-A for me (6 or 7 hr drive over from the Twin Cities). For me, it's not a show but more like a week at the lake. Hang out, relax, enjoy, sit, drink, relax, eat, walk around, drive home on Sunday - or whenever. Maybe you could knock off doing the forum (and all prep) and just enjoy the show this year - maybe leave Thursday morning? Just a thought. On the flip side I know what you mean about - let's try something different ....for once! This year, for me, will be two scheduled days at the flight line, in a white plastic chair, for oh ...about 6 hours each day - starting early in the morning. I'll walk around during the airshow. Always wanted to do that - this year I will. Montblack |

I understand that. We spent Christmas with my mother in Tennessee this year, which meant our coonhound spent five days in a kennel. She lost about 5 pounds -- just refused to eat. Next time we go, we're taking her with us and putting her in a kennel down there. Then we can visit her every day. We watch a number of friends' dogs for that very reason. Dogs go goofy in kennels. Sometimes one of our friends does a half and half. He kennels his dog, then we go over (daily) and take her with us to the local Dog Park and walk (run) her for a few hours. It's a 500 acre doggie Disneyland. It's only a 50 acre Dog Run - but we go 'exploring' in the adjacent open space. Other times we go over to friends' houses a couple of times a day - morning and evening. Still other times we have a dog with us for a week. We've been doing this for years. Always dogs, never a puppy. I got roped into taking care of four cats last year. Won't do that again! Montblack |

Gorgeous animal...have him tested for thyroid. I've seen more dogs perk up
when they get the thyroid working correctly than anything else. Jim He's still with us, but he's starting to slow down and I just know he's going to break my heart some day. rg |

If we stay away that long, though, some of them give us an "do I know you?" look when we get back. We just have to make sure they have clean litter boxes and adequate food and water before we go. George Patterson Coffee is only a way of stealing time that should by rights belong to your slightly older self. |

His problem is arthritis, plus a congenital defect (he's missing one of his hip joints, though that actually doesn't slow him down much). He's on meds and they do help. But he's ten years old now, so he's not a puppy any more. The days of ten mile hikes are over. But he still bounces (literally!) when he knows it's time for dinner. rg |

So that's it, is it Jay? Just potty train her and let the little ******* fend for herself for two weeks while we're (for her 6 month old mind) gone forever? Or stuff her in some kennel where if she's lucky they'll take her for a walk once a day? I'm available for dog-sitting. And by then, I'll have my new puppy and will be potyt-training also. It might be nice to have "a big sibling" to show how it's done! Doggie door to the backyard, too. And rides in the car to the pet store! And trips to the fenced in handball court at the school to play catch *very safely*, since they can't get out. All you have to do is get puppy to Denver. I'm not going to OSH this year on general principles. Hate camping, lost all interest in the dorms (after 4 years of it), can't get a decent hotel room. |

It was a 6-7 hour drive from Phoenix, dog went everywhere with them. Dog spent the night at the kennel, spent the day with them. Precursor to doggie daycare! |
