The pup has arrived so I thought I'd make a new thread.

One of the greatest things in the world, PUPPY LICKS! She is so sweet! Congrats!

Sweet, Kurdt.

Hello to Freija. Welcome to Kurdt's.

Keep an eye on him, and make sure he stays out of trouble.

Oops :redface:

SHE's gorgeous.

I guess that I should be more careful when it comes to gender, since the majority of people here thought I was a she at first!

Hello Kurdt, I'm somewhat new here. My name is Redbelly.

What pray tell is Freija's favorite kind of fish?

Our female cat Misty fetches mice. She let one loose in the kitchen when my son got hold of her while she was passing through with a mouse in her mouth. She dropped it and it ran under the counter then under the kitchen table behind some shoes and some boxes. I was moving the boxes when Misty jumped in. I suspected she had the mouse because she started growling. I pulled her out with the bottom half of the mouse hanging from her mouth. I had to ease the mouse out of her mouse, but then I dropped it, and Misty snatched it again (she's fast). I pried the mouse out of her mouth again and took it outside. It hopped away.

Dobermans do fetch, at least the one with whom I played and who belonged to a roommate in grad school. She also liked to fetch me by walking into my room and taking my forearm in her mouth. She was very playful. :biggrin:

Redbelly, have you been fish slapped yet?

Love your avatar, BTW!

Freija means woman apparently. I don't know what fish she likes yet redbelly but I don't think pets have been initiated with fish, just members.

Astro: Our previous Dobe would not fetch. She'd chase stuff then run off to a corner and chew it. Our newDobe Freija got her first ball and ran off into a corner to chew it. I've seen vids of Dobes doing the same thing. Then again they're not gun dogs.

Um, no ... and I am rather fond of shrimp (if that counts as a fish).

Thanks!

Darn shrimp are hard to hold onto.

You need some sort of shrimp canon.

{rubbing face gingerly} Perhaps the jumbo variety would have worked better. Too late now! :wink:
