Chloe did her share of sniffing inside that stroller. She was not quite sure what to make of it, not exactly comfortable so leashed her in as she was looking for a way out. Didn't think about the yard. Glad I got the mow lines straight :) Thanks. Been working my butt off outside.

That pic of Fonzie in his rain gear had me smiling & chuckling yesterday...and again :lol: Every time you look @ it, you just can't help but laugh. So darn cute.
I bet he's thinking: "Mom, is this really necessary?".

Forgot to mention mob's cat. She is a very attractive cat, and looks like she likes to be in charge. Like BS, I'm more of a dog person,( after posting nearly a bazillion dog pics, pretty sure that was apparent). However, if I were to get a cat, it would be one like her, a beautiful tabby with what looks to be white paws. If I had to pick just one adjective from that photo, I'd say she is judgmental, a perfect characteristic for a cat.

Claudine, I could look at these penguins and seals all afternoon.

Amy, I like Bo's ears. They give him a lot of character. We used to have a samoyed with one straight ear and one crooked one, who we got from the local rescue organization. He wasn't the smartest dog but was apparently charismatic. Not our opinion, but duly noted on his report card from the kennel he boarded at occasionally.

Just out of curiosity, do Bo and Woody ever get pupaccinos for treats?

One more thing regarding Chloe's stroller. Have you tried out the lights for an evening ride? That is a nice feature.

I haven't really heard this song before, but our DD seems to think it is appropriate for Fonzie in his stroller, and should count for Chloe as well.

Chorus from 'They see me rollin'

They see me rollin'
They hatin'
Patrolling and tryin' to catch me ridin' dirty
Tryin' to catch me ridin' dirty
Tryin' to catch me ridin' dirty
Tryin' to catch me ridin' dirty
Tryin' to catch me ridin' dirty

My music's so loud
I'm swangin'
They hopin that they gonna catch me ridin' dirty
Tryin' to catch me ridin' dirty
Tryin' to catch me ridin' dirty
Tryin' to catch me ridin' dirty
Tryin' to catch me ridin' dirty

Bo is a rebel, no seat belt for him! Between he and Woody, that's 200lbs of dog in the car :shock: They are litter mates but couldn't be more different. I love those goofballs. We have a total of 4 dogs and 2 cats but the GSDs are the only ones that like to take pictures.

As for treats, we're a milkbone household. The 4 year old and 2 year old give them way too many, but it's adorable. Giant ass dog mouth ever so dainty taking their treats from tiny little girl hands after they've been told to sit or down.

We have such a wonderful life. 8)

I know she is a big lover of dogs.

Bluebonnet season is a big deal here in Central TX. It lasts a good 6 weeks, and we get pics of all sorts of things in the bluebonnet fields, longhorns, goats, chickens, babies, police officers, cats, the list is quite extensive. Here we have an example of a French Bulldog surrounded by bluebonnets and Indian paintbrush.

Hey homie !!!
Glad it worked for you. After photobucket commercialized, a few folks looked for different sites.
Many work well on this forum.... BUTT some have linking/sizing issues,
So as long as we get the images posted to share = ALL GOOD !!!

AND .. mycologically speaking .. there ARE some VERY KEWL pix you could share about budding bodies / mycelial masses ... YES ?
as a vet I only saw the "evil dimorphic fungi " as a clinical issue :(
SO I love the owl pic sitting on the fungus !!!!!

Cheers and Harmony
