Just a point to ponder since the weather is so hinky everywhere. A generator. Even a small one just to keep the bare essentials going. I can remember seeing small one's at garage sales going for 50 bucks. Could be a life saver.
Hey Macky, you must be close to me. I am right by Louisville in southern Indiana. Right on the Ohio River.
Oh Bravo ~ I remember that "pup" during the 1st trial for the psychopath goddess!
You had her picture on your avatar. I love black Labs! My cousin has one and that dog is a riot. She is so sneaky. She will "steal" any thing she can find that is yours, and then bring it to you to "show" you what she had. That was her "game." Then she would take off with it so you would chase her. She found out quickly that if you gave her a dog biscuit, she would gladly trade your shoe, (or what ever she had) for that biscuit.
Labs are so smart!
We had taken a trip to Louisiana to meet up with another cousin one summer. When we got home, my cousin had three $100.00 bills left over and she laid them on the counter. About 15 minutes later, here comes Shelby (the lab) with those 100 dollar bills in her mouth! It was so funny, although my cousin didn't think it was :giggle: We both chased her with dog biscuits, but hey... she liked this game and now she had two people chasing her. After 10 minutes are so, she finally gave them up...but they were soaked and one had to be taped back together. I had tears in my eyes I was laughing so hard...my cousin, not so much. :smile: She was NOT amused.
This was hysterical.
I've been obsessed lately over in the retrial thread but I love coming back here to catch up on the important things in life.
Your lab stories are so funny and we can all relate as each of our "fur babies" do these sorts of things on occasion.
My Yorkie pulled a funny one the other day. We had a possum in the yard and my dog loves to pretend he is a bad azz. He will bark like crazy in the window at any wild animal and he wants me to get him on a leasch to go chase after it.
Well, since the possum wasnt leaving the yard and my dog was barking like crazy, I decided to give him some fun so hooked him up and out the door we ran. Well, if anybody knows anything about possums, they dont call it playing possum for nothing. The thing just stood there and wouldnt run off.
I of course would not let my dog get too close to prevent injury to either the possum or my dog and the most hysterical thing happened. My dog at first acted like he was all ready to "sick em", and once he found out the thing wasnt going to run away, all of a sudden, my dog wasnt interested anymore. Because he obviously did not want to get too close and have a real confrontation or anything. LOL
I had to walk him away from the Possum and pretend he did great and was a good watch dog, and gave him a biscuit when we got back inside. It was so comical.

When my lab barks at someone walking down the street and they keep going, I tell her that she scared them off, LOL!
Hi! We lived in Jeff until 2012 then bought a home in Charlestown. I know right where you are speaking of there on Riverside Drive. And Galt House...ah, that's nice. Ever watched Thunder over Louisville? I know you couldn't miss it from the Galt House or Jeff. We have eaten at every restaurant on the river. rockys was a big hit when we moved here but it was down on Market, across from Jeff Boat, back then.Well, howdy neighbor!!! Yes, I've lived in the Ville my whole life. Well almost. I moved over on Riverside Drive in Jeffersonville Ind. for about 6 months waaaay back when I briefly worked as a bartender at the Galt house. Me and a fellow worker rented a house about 10 ? doors down from Rocky's. It was a beautiful big old house that faced the river, and we rented the first floor. Do you live In Jeff ?

Curious , Macky, I'm in Ohio bit South of Cleveland. Wouldn't it be nice?:loveyou:
evening all, I closed my laptop last Thursday after the state rested. I needed from a break from all of Jodi's lies. I know I've missed some good things so if any one had the short and sweet, I'd appreciate it.
YesorNo thanks for keeping this trivia going. It's sad to she Leslie Gore go. So many young female singers Brenda Lee, Connie Francis, Shelly Frabrege(hell if I know how to spell it)Jackie DeShannon, brings back so many memories.
After Einstein Arias, I just can't take another trial. I know this is a serious, victim friendly site. But I sure wish the Mods would make a thread just for the funny side of life. That way I could keep in touch with everyone and what is going on.Good morning WS Friends:
Jury selection will start tomorrow with opening arguments scheduled for Wednesday in the trial of John Brickman Wall. Wall is accused of murdering his wife, Doctor Uta von Schwedler in their bathtub in similar fashion to convicted killer Martin MacNeal's murder of his wife Michelle. Xanax was found in von Schwedler's system even though she did not take Xanax. Wall was a Utah pediatrician.

I remember after Avery arrived and I was so obsessed watching constantly and demanding such that I didn't want too much ruined in our home. I didn't think that was much to ask for given we are moving into retirement and it was our Son's dog moving in. Not only for our sake but more worried about what she might ingest. Yes there were some minor things we didn't care about that could be repaired. Worst for me was the dark hardwoods. I cringed. Never said much. A friend of mine who had a Lab said. Your floors have character. Good enough for me.
Yeah, we learn to live with the "punches". LOL
The worst that ever happened to me was my Springer Spaniel I used to have many moons ago. One day while we were at work, he got bored and decided to eat a hole in the wall. We suspect there may have been a splash of food on the wall since it was near the stove and we think once he got a taste of the sheetrock, he liked it.![]()

Okay everyone. I am a dog lover. But my little Punkin passed away in 2003 and I haven't had the nerve to get another dog. She suffered so hard. And when I really start wanting one, my DH says no. That said, I am loving all your stories tonight. My son has the most beautiful Lab. And I guess we all have stories because they become family.
Thanks for helping me remember Punkin.
I swear....I keep trying to use more of the happy icon buttons, but every time i do, my iPad shuts down on me. I just gave up.
