Hello vbfsaaes.

Yoo Hoo, anybody home?
' border=0>

Hello, MizTricia!

It's exactly noon, so can't use Good Maen or Good mAen.

MizTricia, last night I missed you by 2 minutes - and it happened again today. I am going to take a break for brunch - and whatever else takes some of my time today - and hope to be back later. I hope you're having a great day!

Good afternoon! It's still raining here. Don't know if one of the tryouts will be canceled because of all the rain. The fields are probably waterlogged. It is getting brighter out so this may be a sign it is ending. I was kind of hoping the outdoor one would be canceled, but probably not. (can't go to both, so will have to pick one)

Hi, Stella! Is he trying out for 2 different teams - or is it 2 different children trying out?

He is trying out for two different teams.

Good luck, 'Max!' If he 'makes' both teams, would he be able to play on both, or need to choose? (By the way, I'm back & forth between puzzles & here, so not completely abandoning you just yet.)

Hi Stella,Julie anyone else who may be around

He will have to pick one. One is closer and less expensive. However, the other team has several kids trying out that he has played with before, but it is about $500 more.

Hi Brenda, how are you? Winding down for the night?

I'm fine Stella, only just getting going tonight. I have been out for lunch today so haven't done much else

Will be having an earlier night though as we are headig up to Lincoln (just over 110 miles) tomorrow lookig at a puppy

A new puppy! That is exciting! What kind is it?

I Brenda.

HI BRENDA.

an English cocker spaniel

PUPPY.

Cocker spaniels are very pretty.

Hi Max thought you had left
Yes we are going to get a new puppy after losing our dog earlier this year (My avatar is a picture of my Lady)

We decided to go for a different breed than Lady as we wouldn't be able to compare them

We've never had a dog, or any pet. I'm allergic and some of the kids are allergic. We almost had one once that was rescued from a dumpster, but we gave it to my sister and they had him for a long time (maybe 17 years) until he died.

Oh what a shame you are allergic to pets I would hate that. Our place is sometimes a bit like a zoo. At present we have 2 Rabbits (used to have 4) a Jenday conure (small parrot) gold fish in an outside pond, and 4 tanks of tropical fish. We have had hamsters too.

Hi, Brenda & Max!

Hi Julie how are you today?

Brenda, that's exciting that you'll be getting a puppy! I'm not sure what the difference is in the various cocker spaniels. Maybe I'll google it. . .BRB

We're also so busy with the kids' activities, that it would be hard for a pet I would think. We're always running here and there. I teased the kids and told them once they are out of the house, then we will get a pet. They were not happy with that.

You have to have time for pets. My kids (apart from one) are all grown up, though they still live at home, and can get themselves to any activities they want to go to. None of them have been very sport.

The English Cocker is merry and affectionate, of equable disposition, neither sluggish nor hyperactive, a willing worker and a faithful and engaging companion.

Apparently they are small to medium in size and originally hunting dogs if I skipped through carefully enough.

skipped = skimmed

Brenda, what influenced you to consider an English cocker spaniel?

I wasn't to sure we were going replace Lady, but we looked after a friends 10 month old cocker spaniel over the weekend and realised just how much we missed having a dog around

The cocker spaniel is just the right size for us. Not too small but not too big. We often go away in a smallish caravan (trailer) so don't want anything too big. One of our neighbours has three Newfoundlands which a lovely dogs but just too big.

That's a good way to find out if you're ready, Brenda.

Brenda, our daughter (who already has a Samoyed) is planning to get a Newfoundland this late this summer. We were with her family when they visited a breeder and saw about 20-25 Newfies. (The breeder had a small farm, so had room.)

My neighbor had a cocker when I was young and I always loved that dog. It was very lovable.

Someone may be getting ready to post and grab the honors. Brenda, I hope you're ready!
