Oh, realized that wasn't a husky puppy, but a malamute. I always mix them up. :redface:

Ooh, yay, puppy touchdown! :biggrin:

My back is killing me from the last two nights.

Try capsaicin cream. I sprained my back a month back and my doctor recommended it - wow, it worked for me. (It's the chemical compound in hot peppers that makes them hot. It's a good analgesisc...just don't get it in your eyes!)

I could not attend the chat (I work weekends/Nights) I was sleeping.
I mentioned using Skype for voice chats but I think Team Speak would work better (people could create rooms and have separate voice chats).
I will test some things out this week and I will set up a Team Speak server or find a free server so we can also have voice chats. People will just need to download and install the Team Speak client and have speakers or headphones and a Microphone.
I will post the link and the name of the Team Speak server to connect to in a few days.

They had a rerun of the Kitten Halftime Show! I have to try to remember this for next year to invite people over to watch the Puppy Bowl. I know enough people who couldn't care less about football who would love this!

Here is the link to download Team Speak.
http://www.goteamspeak.com/?page=downloads"

It is freeware and all you will need is the Client.
In the morning I will post the name of a common Team speak server where we can all connect for the chat on Sunday.
