You need some sort of shrimp canon.
"NOW" you tell me!

I was thinking a sling shot would be perfect for shrimp, but I didn't want to put someone's eye out.

Now, with a canon, it will just knock them unconscious, then we can just run like hell.

It takes a lot of planning and forethought to fish whack people.

Redbelly totally lied. I shrimp slapped him in another thread.

First time a new member has gotten it twice, I think.

Must have knocked me unconscious. Well, that does explain the 24 hour blackout I experienced a couple days ago.

Boy this is hard work. She is trouble :smile:. She is into everything and is very bold. She launches herself at the sofa in an attempt to get on your knee. Sometimes successful and sometimes not. She is also teething so she's trying to bite everything, but she's now pretty much house trained and knows she can only bite her toys and rawhide. I'm tired.

EDIT: image host is being silly, I had a couple more to post but I'll do it later.

Puppies can be a handful.

My last house and everything in it was destroyed by "THE JAWS OF DEATH". AKA a yellow lab. She even ate the windowsills. :bugeye:

Oh Kurdt, you might be in for it :smile: ! My Chocolate Lab was the boldest puppy I've ever known, totally fearless! She took A LOT of work to tame - I know how much energy it takes out of you. Luckily I was a stay-home mom at the time, so I had the time.

She's a beautiful puppy!

No she seems quite controllable now. I think we were all excited by the newness. But she hasn't had a whine or a cry or anything after being separated from mother and siblings. We're all amazed by her and its helped establish her character very early. Shes lovely.

Oh my, tastie rugs, plants AND tastie candles. I'm sure she will be a good girl for you, enjoy the puppy-ness.

Ok, here's the extra two.

SO SWEET :!) !

I love the shot of her in your lap. Of course, you know she'll want to curl up in your lap when she's full-grown!

Yes, our last Dobe Emma was always trying to get on your knee at the ripe old age of 8.

My friend's dobe, Cleo was pretty big, and she was an inveterate Lap-lander, too. She always wanted to cuddle up.

Yep, I was thinking the same thing. :biggrin: The bigger the dog, the more they seem to like being on laps. :smile: I just wish I could reach through the monitor and give her a snuggle!

She is gorgeous. I've never seen that spelling in her name before, but is it related to the Norse Goddess that gives the name to Friday?

Yes its Norse in origin, but the spelling is German.

Make sure she's getting her share of the love.
 
  • #54
Make sure the cat gets equal snorgle time. :approve:
 
  • #55
I wonder if our member retention rate would increase if we offered tummy snorgles instead of fish slapping?
 
  • #56
It depends who's giving them. I think I've got some preferences... ;-)

Or maybe fish slaps to the tummy?
 
  • #58
Or well-prepared fish dinners...?

With garlic?
