Ya gotta read what Vince said about the new dog...

[milivica]

Ok, so I'm explaining to Vince about neutering.

Vince listens to my explanation, I give it to him in plain english, no victorian type delicate explanations.

So, Vince thinks a minute, "Manny got his balls out?" and I say "Yes." Then Vince says, "And now Charlie got his balls out too?" and I say "Yes." Vince quietly thinks and says, "Sooooo, what do they do with all the balls??"

Baawawawawa!!!

I just laughed my brains out, all I could think of was like some giant mound of balls they wind up putting a golf course over...."hey, why is the green so lumpy" baawawawaa!!

Am I just twisted, I think his question is hilarious.

OMG, Mil...:D :D :D So...pray tell...what did you say to him?? Any mention of golf courses?? :p :D


Poor kid...:rolleyes: :D

LIZARD, LMAO! :D

[gynwhyver]

Love your twisted sense of humor! Too funny!

[The Pogue]

I'd have been tempted to say 'they make spaghetti and meat balls'.

[milivica]

Ding ding ding....and Pogue correctly guesses my answer.

Gotcha! I'm totally kidding, I did not say that but I sure wish I had!!! Vince is finally at the point, that I CAN joke like that and he will even join in joking back the same way. However, it has to be VERY obvious, or, he will believe my sarcasm and get mad that I tricked him. So, like today when I was putting a pillow case over a pillow, and he said, "What's that" I said, "My left eyeball, would you like a pillow case over your left eyeball?" and he said, "No, over my arm"....I was hoping he'd say over his right eyeball, but close enough!

Cripe, the more I think about it the more I love that meatball answer...so help me Pogue next time he's shopping with me, I'm heading to the frozen meat ball section and saying, "Hey Vince, I found out where they put the balls." He'll come over, and either be furious cause he believed me (until he sees the meatball package) or he'll add a joke, I'm hoping for the latter of course. To be on the safe side, I'll pick up the package, and give him my 'look' first to cue him I'm up to something, so he can 'succeed' by not believing me for even a moment. See, RDI can be used with everything, even in my poor dogs' removed balls - (now, to the tune of New York New York) If you can, use it there, you can use it, anywhere, it's up to youuuu, meat balls, meat balllllllllllls.

Gwyn, I have a twisted sense of humor, what do you mean??? (LOL)

Lizard, I didn't answer him. I just laughed my brains out, he asked why I was laughing, I told him because I didn't know but actually that was a really great question - that he has a great brain, I never thought of that and he better stop getting smarter than me...he said, "Nope!" proudly feeling real smart, it was fun. I assume they throw them out with some medical waste type stuff, but why ruin a great 'abstract' moment with factual 'absolutes'.

Having a DH who lived out west, I can attest to the fact that "prairie oysters" are indeed eaten out there. Yes, they are exactly what you think, from cattle! They cook and pickle them, serve them in bars (next to the pickled eggs and pigs feet, I'll bet), and challenge the newcomers to town to eat them! YECH....DH said that he had never been stupid enough to fall for the trick, but lots of Easterners he worked with in the mining industry got a real awakening after chomping down on those nasty things and then hearing what they had just eaten....:eek: :eek: :eek:

[Mother's Heart]

That is way too hilarious! REFRESHING!

So....are you filming your market adventure for your RDI lesson tape? :D ;)

[milivica]

I was too lazy to go shopping today, but unable to stand the suspense cause I was dying to pull the meatball gag on Vince. So, as we lay on the carpet talking about I forget what, he said he'd broken something and I believed what he said, and when I said "really, why would you do that?" he bust out laughing and said, "Ha ha I tricked you I could see on your face" which in itself was like AWESOME to hear. So, the timing seemed right and I said, "So Vince, I was talking to my friend and she told me what really happens to all the balls" so he's like "what?" and I'm like, "well, ya know those spaghetti and meatballs you eat...meat BALLS" and he just goes silent, blank, then says very calmly "that's it, I will not be eating any more spaghetti for decades" (btw he does not know how long a decade is) So I said, "Did you believe me?" and he smiled and said "No".

Then, Carmen yells, "MooOOooOOoom!" She runs into the living room looking pissed off, "You were kidding?"

Ha, so much for her previously secure nt status around here, hee hee.

[peglem]

And now you all have an episodic memory for whenever you eat meatballs!

[LIZARD]

And now you all have an episodic memory for whenever you eat meatballs!

EEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!! :eek:



LIZARD, LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D :D

[milivica]

I don't think I will, I don't think my memory will be linked to emotion. I think I'll actually be thinking about dog balls specifically.

[GinaMarie]

ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww..

and to think I was just looking at a bag of frozen meatballs today at the store and thinking we havent had spagetti for awhile. lol

I probably will think of them now when I eat meatballs.. IF my memory sticks with it. lol :rolleyes: lol My brain cant remember to take meds or remember errands or important things.. but it can seem to remember things like that that seem to STICK to it. lol :rolleyes: :p

Cute story tho.

[frogmama]

well, from the looks of Charlie, we are talking more like the meatballs in a can of spagetti-O's, which always seemed a little suspicious to me anyway.....

[milivica]

Frogmama, yeah, I was thinking of chick peas myself - I'm sure Charlie thought they were grapefruits.

Charlie checked out VERY well at the vet, got his anals expressed - the vet said they were packed which I noticed. He didn't bite me as I held him, but he whimpered, I felt like such a dog molester. It was over quickly, Charlie might not agree it was so quick of course. His heartbeat was great she said, no murmur, no wee dog issues, ears, eyes, lungs, it was all good. The Humane Society DID get his original vet's name and phone number, I called so his records were faxed to his new vet, and he did NOT have to get a rabies. They said he was between 2 and 3, so that was truthful and soon enough he'll be feeling better, feeling playful, and Manny will have Charlie, and Charlie will have Manny - for all the doggie stuff humans can't provide. I'd be really shocked if Manny wound up leader, Charlie is a more confident dog, you can see it under all the apprehension of being in a new place with new people.

He is WILD about car rides, the first 2 days he didn't know what 'go bye bye in the car car' meant, so that's fun too see him freak when I say it. He gets at least two rides a day on weekdays to pick up/drop off kids. I made a real cute spot for both of them in the car, I'll take a pic sometime. Basically I cut and put a board behind the back seats (I have a Honda Element). Most hatchbacks give you that to sort of cover your groceries and stuff so the world can't see your junk back there. Anyhow, I cut a board to fit, covered it with a spare car seat that matches the current, then put a dog bed on each side so they can feel stable, and weather laying or sitting they can enjoy the view - and - not be next to a window that rolls all the way down, I don't trust either of them. Cripe Charlie could get sucked out by the vacuum of the wind through a window cracked 3" wide if I was on the highway.

Charlie is a QUICK learner, very smart boy. Manny is more my darling little goofus. I just can hardly wait until the two of them bond more, compliment one another, enjoy each other. They have played, but only for real short times so far. Just lights up my heart when I see them running next to one another and biting each other's necks and whatnot, so cute.

Oh, and Charlie in fact is 5 whole pounds, I couldn't believe it. The whole time at the vets he was calm, didn't shake, didn't seem to hold a grudge or any fears after the butt thing. The vet said he seemed very alert and curious, not nervous at all, no little dog syndrome type of stuff. Hopefully I won't screw him up! It's hard not to coddle him, treat him like a baby instead of a canine. He's just so darn cute, Manny too of course. But I'm pretty good about that. I ask myself what I would tolerate if my small dogs were big, and don't let the wee ones get away with stuff I wouldn't allow a big dog (with big teeth!).

Ok, more updates as they happen. Can't wait for more bonding for all of us so it feels normal to have him here instead of new.

Thank you all for enjoying the new dog with me!!!

ps...edited to add a couple of pics, they are playing, God it's so great to hear the happy pitter patter of 8 furry feet, hee hee. I LOVE it.
