The nature of grief is such that we the adults in the family could go a spell without a dog.
She is happy and healthy, and in desperate need of us !
she is fat from lack of exercise we hope that her slight slink is 'cage posture' that will resolve.
The children miss the routines of having a dog and both of them will be better people for having animals she is a sweet little girl who needs us so. . . .
welcome to the family ,we think it is Providence and will be a great addition to the Diabase family.
SHE IS NOT A PUPPY!
those things are so cute!!
They were fur balls that smooch and lick you as if you were candy!!
but they are like my kids . . .
A lot of work!
As far as what we could understand, he is very willing to give her to us for what I am still not sure?

she is thick like us so that is good.
the real obstacle in all of this is in a strange language issue.
Ahmed's english was 'Pakistany -driven' and the dog he says is Czech,
We speak a version of the educated english and being in NJ we all slured our R's
but the way he ran words together was more drunken than not.
It would seem that this is the pig in a poke situation as no vet has seen her and i am committed.
We have been told:
One litter of 9! that is a lot of puppies for a smaller dog.
Her cycle is just three weeks past, not again for five months.
so now we think that she didn't take, 9 pups is too many for a sound litter his sleeze quotient
is clearly displayed by his not having her fixed .
He said she eats too much! and we know that her exercise needs have not been met .
Ahmed is not a puppy mill he is a smart man into a lucrative end of Service dog breeding.
I think it is a win win win
the breeder is rid of her and glad to be so.
My daughter and son will have a pal at the bus stop every morning once again.
The dog is going to think that it is in Paradise! because she will be.

Sorry I cannot keep up.
I'm on Social Security and Medicare.
I have both hyper- and hypo- thyroidism.
I'm practicing law without a license.
Wish I had a license to kill.
I suffered hyhpothermia in Idyllwild.
I wish I had a big watermelon.
What's a mother to do?
Who killed Davey Moore?
Why?
What's the rason for?
Is mother's day over yet?
Whine baby whine, johnturnip.

You beat me to the whine part.
I woke from a doze this afternoon,
Hearing Goatboy Smellz telling me
How depression is conquered by sleep
Breathing inandout the sad
And then I was left with papery lungs
And wheezing I breathed inandout some grace
Which I am saying now before I eat
My plate of spaghetti with cornish tomato sauce
(No mushrooms, I'm tired of fryin' onions, corn'll have to do)
And wishing to go to the Grand Canyon sometime later tonight.
That's on the Colorado River
and colorado is the same as the spaghetti sauce
and the Rev grew up on Colorado Drive in Merced
and red is red, I'm sure glad that I'm not dead

Weird a guy as he is, I have still have a certain fascination with ol' Bob Zimmerman.
I shoulda asked him to autograph that frisbee.
I actually have this one in my file cabinet. Will fix size when I get back from New Dehli. OK Done an done.

It's pouring zzzz'z but no dreams.
I had all the dreamless sleep I can handle.
I got up to no good and read in the R & I online Ascent of the one-go ascent of SEA OF DREAMS by Bridwell, Diegelman, and Bard.
Benjamin Franklin is responsible for the Bridwell maxim, "Fail to plan, plan to fail."
It's one of JB's best-ever journalistic efforts. He always seems to give his best and for the climbing community, I'd like to say, Jim, THANK YOU!
Even now, I can imagine some kid thinking, "Who is Bridwell?"
Hat is off to Mr. Jimmy.

Gots to thank the Gnome for the treat of reading about "little feet."
He sent me the link, no ink.
I now feel much more "in the Pink."
Will JB ever reveal those places from which he scoped the route in his planning?
Come back next Monday. Or Tuesday. Talk to "Juanita."

As always with R & I, you must subscribe to the mag to get the links to share. I'm not a subscriber to anything.

Auč Cntrer, my franch, sucks, the the things that you subscribe to get you through and through,
I could 'v covered for you and just agreed
in the end it makes no difference
but that Is not as fun as being contrary .
The last time I played in the house of the last alphabet letter I learned that.
but my mind is on my lack of clarity,
if I do, then you can see & scan all the links?
If so, some of the same things that choke my spit ,
make me go "WHAT?!",
seem to make you go
WHAT too?

Any hauser if a guy named Dana has not been in touch at this point then I have no past!
I was the third wheel and the weakest of the climbers. We formed our own small hard group that was as talented as the best climbers guys like Earl W and Merril B, had some followings
Certainly Mugs & Nitro were famous. The 80s in the West climbing living vagabond style, I was Along for some of it, it was the, tHERIDE!

I was bullin' with The Bull on Mother's Day. Ma don't have no nickname, so we just call her Reita, like when she was born. Anyway, this guy who has legitimate things to complain about (some of you know, purple hearts and stuff), but never does, brings up midget racing in Balboa Stadium.
So without further ado, 1950's car racers. This used to be a car club thread right?

Groovy, dad. Groovy.
I dig the slo-mo.
How did that stadium come to be named for a fictitious pug from Philly?
[Click to View YouTube Video]
The word coming to mind is "insipid." Not quite "revolting" until the third listen.
Perhaps it could be performed better by a livelier group, like Randy Watson & Sexual Chocolate.

Ernie Ladd chose the name? For the long and continuing story of Ernie see below ***.

Following in the footsteps of The Wolfman, Ernie "The Big Cat" opened up a gym on Third Avenue in Chula Vista.
This is from Mike, who grew up in CV. The Big Cat & The Elks?
When the Chargers came to San Diego from Los Angeles in 1961, they played in Balboa Stadium, the track and football field for San Diego High School. That is how bad it was. I think a ticket was three bucks. And that team, especially the 1963 American Football League champion team, is still the most talented and dominant Charger team there ever was. They beat everyone by large margins. I remember Sid Gillman, Lance Alworth, Dave Kocourek, Ernie Ladd, Earl Faison, Ron Mix, Paul Lowe and Jack Kemp, the quarterback. I went to a game there. Never knew my dad even cared about football, but he took me there. And he took us to meet Paul Lowe and Ernie Wright once, at the Elks Club in Chula Vista
Dylan's thinking of doing The Ballad Of Ernie Ladd soon.
The most well-publicized of Ernie Ladd’s gastronomic events was when the big man participated in the Golden West Eating Classic on April 22, 1961, at the U.S. Grant Hotel in downtown San Diego. The gorge-fest, in which Ladd competed against local tuna fisherman, Nick Cordileone, brought out some 1,800 spectators, and some of San Diego’s most celebrated citizens, many of whom held “positions of authority” for the contest. Among those involved were:
Regis Philbin – Referee
Archie Moore – Referee Emeritus
Barron Hilton – Assistant Calorie Counter
Sid Gillman – Consultant to the California State Eating Commission
1/22/1965 - Just in -- Billy D. Lyon and Ken Hollis Brown
Ol' Bob's gonna light this one on fire

Your dog is a good-looking lady, Gnome.
Tell the kids about not feeding her like she's Ernie Ladd, though.
Here's a story.
First women's alpine Olympic gold medal, 1948.
http://retro-skiing.com/2014/01/gretchens-gold/
Not being an slpine skier, this story didn't interest me. MUCH!
Not having any connections to skiing at Sun Valley, it left me cold. NOT!
My relatives in Sun Valley and Ketchup and McCall all recall the member of our family, one of my mom's cousin Connie's kids, who was a member of the US Olympics Alpine Ski Team.
Her name is Maria Maricich and she was born in 1961 and finished 19th in the Downhill in 1984.
Her father is this man, Connie's husband, Herman Maricich.
[Click to View YouTube Video]I was never able to meet "Herm," because I only visited Idaho once, when I was three. That was in 1951 and the Mariciches didn't show up in Sun Valley until much later.
