You can dress them up BUT.....

Youngest daughter thought Gryphon needed hair clips!

55206

So did Gryphon! :D:D

55207

After about a half hour later, hubby realized he still had them on his ears and cursed us female folk for making him into a suckie boy! :laughing::laughing:

BTW---a special thanks to Frenchy for the toy in the food bowl ideal! :lightbulb: It has really helped Gryphon's digestion. He's not inhaling his food anymore! :D

:laughing: poor Gryphon... sounds like he enjoyed the attention though!

I do the toy-in-the-bowl trick too- learned it from Pets.ca as well, it's great for those furry piggies of ours, isn't it!? :thumbs up

He does look lovely in Aqua, though! :thumbs up :D

You betcha Mollywog! :lightbulb:

At one point, we timed Gryphon eating and he could scarf his food in less than 40 seconds! :eek: Now it's over a minute with the toy in the bowl! :D

Gryph looks rather cute with stars in his ears :D

Yep, I do the kong in the bowl thing too for our goofy lab hoover. What amazes me is why these dogs don't just take the kong out of the bowl first and then inhale it. :rolleyes:

Gryph looks quite oblivious to the fact that he's wearing hair clips and the colour does suit him very well. :D

What amazes me is why these dogs don't just take the kong out of the bowl first and then inhale it. :rolleyes:

Cuz then someone else would steal their toy :D This way they get the food and the toy :dog:

Cuz then someone else would steal their toy :D This way they get the food and the toy :dog:

But Gryph and Molly don't have any competition who would steal their toy. :D

Sure they do - their hoomans! :eek:

But Gryph and Molly don't have any competition who would steal their toy. :D

Well rainbow, in Gryphon's case....this will soon change! :eek: :whistle: :whistle: :D:D

Well rainbow, in Gryphon's case....this will soon change! :eek: :whistle: :whistle: :D:D

Do tell...is there an "addition" in the works???? :goodvibes::goodvibes:

Well rainbow, in Gryphon's case....this will soon change! :eek: :whistle: :whistle: :D:D

:eek: How dare you tease us like that. :yell: :p

:whistle: :whistle: :whistle: :whistle:

:whistle: :whistle: :whistle: :whistle:


:p :p :p :p :p :p

And another ....

I know how you feel Rainbow...the suspense is killing me just as much as it's killing you! :frustrated:


55248

Can we have a hint pleeeeeeeze? :D

Now I don't want to go and jinx anything Rainbow. :sad:

Maybe some :goodvibes::goodvibes:, :fingerscr:fingerscr and :pray::pray:'s

I am taking next week off from work (last week of July) just to hang around the house and chill. Can't wait! :crazy:

LOL ...now you sound as superstitious as Hazel. :D

Well definitely lots of :pray: :pray: :fingerscr :fingerscr :goodvibes: :goodvibes: from me. :thumbs up

Well to be perfectly honest, I feel like an expecting mother waiting for her first trimester to finish!

All in due time! :cool:

NO---I'M NOT PREGANT!:laughing: :laughing:

BTW---a special thanks to Frenchy for the toy in the food bowl ideal! :lightbulb: It has really helped Gryphon's digestion. He's not inhaling his food anymore! :D

oups , just saw this , I'm glad it worked out :thumbs up

I do like the new look , brings out his feminine side :D

so , new addition ...... I'll bet hubby is making you adopt a female doggy to dress up so you girls can leave Gryphon alone :laughing:

can't wait to hear about it :goodvibes:

Poor Gryphon. :sad: No wonder he's hanging his head in shame. Oh! He's not!! He's drinking!! :rolleyes: Cute clips! Nice suspense too. Good luck!!

You're absolutely right Frenchy--the gals are practising and hubby has given up on any form of male testosterones in our house! :laughing: :laughing: :D :D

Hmmmm...next week off to greet the newbie? :D We need some more hints. *hazel taps her toe, madame hazel crosses her arms, and TDFO looks grumpy* Can we at least have a timeline so we know when to expect pics? :p

Well if all goes according to plan, a new thread could be posted as early as next week. :whistle: :clap:

:cloud9::lovestruck: Gryphon looks gorgeous with those hair clips, what is the problem DH has with them :frustrated: :lovestruck:.

Surprises, surprises, I hate not being "in the know" :yell: :yell: :frustrated: :D

Exactly when next week??? :o

Well DH was happy to bring HIM home and was hoping to even out a female enviroment. Didn't work very well! :D:D

Kitty on the other hand, could care less of these over-grown four legged canines. They have a tendancy of just getting in her way! :laughing::laughing:

55355

55356

Kitty below doing her favorite bird watching pose! :D

55357

You should change her name to GK (Gorgeous Kitty). :flirt: She has a luxurious coat! :lovestruck:

Early next week, eh? :D

:whistle: :whistle: :whistle:

So how's the weather over there Madame? :D :D :D

we do that with my horse, bricks in the dish so he cannot bolt his grain.. tried it with my dads siamese cat too as he puked after eating for the longest time

Kitty is just gorgeous :lovestruck: we need to see more of her :cloud9:

Love the ears flat back pic :D

That is one beautiful kitty :D

:whistle: :whistle: :whistle:

So how's the weather over there Madame? :D :D :D

Cold. :D

Stopping by, are you? :p

:D I think I've figured it out ;)

That is the first time I've seen pics of Kitty and she is gorgeous. :lovestruck:


What did you figure out Growler? .......I wanna know too. :yell:

I think I've figured out Gryph's soon-to-be new doggie sibling :D ........ but I don't want to jinx it for Klm :fingerscr

I love the hair clips on Gryphon. :thumbs up Especially in that shade of aqua.

And what a gorgeous fur coat Kitty has! Oh my! She looks so soft and cuddly, just like a cloud. :cloud9:

Keeping fingers :fingerscr for the new arrival. :pray:

I like growler's guess better than hazel's! :D

Don't forget to keep us posted!!! :goodvibes: that it all works out!

Thank you Growler! :D:D

BTW Hazel, what is your anti-jinx potion again? :shrug:

Kitty truly is one big "fluff ball!" She loves to be brushed and believe it or not, she loves bathes! :eek:

Anti-Jinx routine: :fingerscr, avoid cracks, knock on wood, throw salt over your left shoulder, kiss a toad (in winter, we substitute margarine under madame hazel's left b...um...well, you get the drift :p...for the toad kissing, cuz toads are so hard to come by when there's snow on the ground. :D)

ha ha! I remembered butter or margarine was involved! :D :D Thank you Madame! :thumbs up

Listening to Phantom of the Opera tonight--Little Lotte-such a delicate name! :lovestruck: I do believe that Lotte means "struggle" in Italian. :shrug: The play is our family all time favorite. Hubby & I saw the Toronto production way back in 1990 and our girls have also seen the play since then.

:whistle: :whistle: :whistle: :whistle:

*sigh*

I can't whistle... :p

Jus' let me know when it happens...the suspense is killin' me! :laughing: It can't happen tomorrow, though--I'm gonna be offline most of the day. :o

Thank you Growler! :D:D

:confused: for what? Not spilling the beans?? :shrug: well of course I wouldn't want to jinx it for you :D

What a nice pup and I love the accessories too! :laughing:

ha ha! I remembered butter or margarine was involved! :D :D Thank you Madame! :thumbs up

:whistle: :whistle: :whistle: :whistle:

Well seems like the secret might be a female, named of Lotte? :D Am I close?

Debbie :)

:confused: for what? Not spilling the beans?? :shrug: well of course I wouldn't want to jinx it for you :D

Precisely Growler! :thumbs up :D

Performed all of Madame's anti-jinx suggestions however; I'm so not kissing a toad! :yuck: I chose the substitution! :D

so it's midweek already ... where 's the newbie ???? :yell:

:p

Here's an update! :D :D

55521

Dragged this poor puppy out of storage and cleaned her up today. :thumbs up

Here's an update! :D :D



:frustrated: I'm NOT a patient person ....


so it's defenetly NOT a great dane or st-bernard by the size of the crate .... well , that leaves many many dog breeds danmit :yell: :cry:

the suspense is killing me :goodvibes:

It is a large crate--not extra large! :D

While I totally love Great Danes, St. Bernards and Bernese's, we're gonna have to wait till the human money hungry, teenage girls move out to make room for an extra large! :laughing::laughing:

Performed all of Madame's anti-jinx suggestions however; I'm so not kissing a toad! :yuck: I chose the substitution! :D

:thumbs up

So whose boob did you spread the margarine under? Inquiring minds want to know! :laughing:

A large, eh? So...hmmm...say between 45 and 60 lbs? :D

Yep, I do the kong in the bowl thing too for our goofy lab hoover. What amazes me is why these dogs don't just take the kong out of the bowl first and then inhale it. :rolleyes:

That's what Skippy does, looks at me as much to say "you stoopid or something" and swiftly removes whatever I have placed in there.

Gryph looks quite oblivious to the fact that he's wearing hair clips and the colour does suit him very well. :D

Gryphon just loves the attention and could care less what the girls are doing to him :dog:

This little girl would have made a nice companion for Gryphon:

55542

Sadly she is no longer up for adoption :rolleyes:

Glad she got adopted. :thumbs up

I wonder whose house she is going too? ;)

That's what Skippy does, looks at me as much to say "you stoopid or something" and swiftly removes whatever I have placed in there.

Swiftly removes the kong or the food? :D

Glad she got adopted. :thumbs up

I wonder whose house she is going too? ;)

Oh I am out of the loop...does the name start with an 'H'? Do tell....

Oh I am out of the loop...does the name start with an 'H'? Do tell....

Nope. I will pm you. :D

Glad she got adopted. :thumbs up

I wonder whose house she is going too? ;)

:shrug: I'm hoping Ethel is not too busy this afternoon and she can do some sleuthing for me :cool:

Swiftly removes the kong or the food? :D

Kong first silly, it's all one movement.....grab, plop, scarf down :D

Oh I am out of the loop...does the name start with an 'H'? Do tell....

No no "H" Benmax,.....maybe her new friends name begins with a "G"....KLM is teasing all of us :frustrated: but I believe she was smitten with her when I posted her pic in one of "H's" threads :rolleyes:

Oh I am out of the loop...does the name start with an 'H'? Do tell....

omd, NO! Bite your tongue, BenMax. :p

:shrug: I'm hoping Ethel is not too busy this afternoon and she can do some sleuthing for me :cool:

Hee hee :thumbs up



Kong first silly, it's all one movement.....grab, plop, scarf down :D

You always say he is such a doofus but I'd say he's pretty smart. Or is it Rebel that's the doofus? :D

Chase leaves the Kong in his dish and hoovers around it so it does slow him down somewhat. :rolleyes:

You need to feed Skippy in a bundt pan. :D





No no "H" Benmax,.....maybe her new friends name begins with a "G"....KLM is teasing all of us :frustrated: but I believe she was smitten with her when I posted her pic in one of "H's" threads :rolleyes:

And will also have a friend beginning with the letter "K". ;)

omd, NO! Bite your tongue, BenMax. :p

You would have liked to though, wouldn't you :D

It's Reb that is the doofus, I'm sure a bundt pan wouldn't be a prolem for Skip though, where there is a will there is a way is his motto :rolleyes:

It's Reb that is the doofus, I'm sure a bundt pan wouldn't be a prolem for Skip though, where there is a will there is a way is his motto :rolleyes:

You should try it since your bundt pan is probably just collecting dust anyway. :laughing:

I don't have one...remember I don't bake and never will :evil:

Want me to send you the one I have that is collecting dust? :D


KLM is gonna think WOW lots went on this thread today :laughing:

She'll probably be relieved that we hijacked her thread to take the pressure away from us bugging her. :laughing:

omd, NO! Bite your tongue, BenMax. :p

:laughing::laughing::laughing: Sorry HazelRunPack - you were the first one that came to mind. Ok my bad, my bad.:laughing::laughing:

She'll probably be relieved that we hijacked her thread to take the pressure away from us bugging her. :laughing:

Heck NO I don't want no silly pan :clown:

You guys had better keep up the pressure, be relentless until KLM has to cave, just to shut everyone up :D

But she's a pretty stubborn gal so don't think she'll cave. :D

I'll have to remember that about the cocoa Butter cuz madame hazel has margarine build up :o

:laughing:

One more sleep, eh? So your quest was successful? :fingerscr :goodvibes:

You guys are way too funny! :D:laughing::laughing::laughing:

And you are way too mean......I hate secrets :yell:

I have an extra bundt pan Chris if you want to borrow it! :lightbulb:

OK I'll take both bundt pans as long as they have goodies to boot :D


hmmmm........if it ain't the one I was originally thinking......I have another theory ;).....and I ain't telling :p

You're mean too :frustrated: making your tjt buddies suffer :yell:



I wanna know :frustrated:

OK I'll take both bundt pans as long as they have goodies to boot :D

No goodies in my pan but if you're nice I will clean the dust off it. :laughing:

I wanna know :frustrated:

Well it's Friday so we shouldn't have to wait much longer. :D
