I too, so enjoyed the first episode of AR. I'm not Irish, but that is definitely on my wish list. Seems like an interesting bunch this year.

My Dad had to leave the room. He said all he could hear was people yelling at each other (maybe because the tv is so loud so he can hear it). I told him to do what I do, just enjoy the scenery.

I don't like the cali girls and the sisters. I think it is degrading to use your body to win money. I like the heartfelt stories best.

I missed AR last night. My poor little 4 month puppie was not feeling well. My daughter said that she probably was teething and that makes them hurt and also upsets their stomach. Today she is very quiet and won't eat. I am just going to wait for a little while and then call the Vet. Nothing can happen to her. I don't think I could take another loss. Wish her good health.

Hi Joyce

I'm so sorry to hear your little puppy is feeling so crummy. Hope it is just teething related. Puppies have a tendency to eat what shouldn't be eaten. Hoping a trip to the vet is not needed. I hope you little pup is feeling better soon.

My daughter agrees with you BETH about the teething. I think you both where right. Today she is eating and playing like herself. I was just the old worried mother. Forgot what it is like to have a baby in the house. It has been about 20 years since I had a puppy. Well I have to learn all over again. But there is that problem of memory forgot what I learned. When my daughter tells me something on what to do, well the screwed up brain doesn't compute. I am also not sure if I made a mistake by getting the dog. I was so lonely I figured it would help. Not keeping in mind that this sick body does not have the strength and capability that it had at one time. My daughter is helping a lot. Well got to try my best because I fell in love with the little ball of fur.

Joyce, don't ever regret getting a pet. I got my cat as a kitten and she has given me hours of companionship and FUN.! Your puppy will to. What is his/her name and what kind is it?

[Jappy]

Hi Doydie: Her name is Sage and she is a German Sherpard. My daughter has two and one of them is the half brother. They have the same father. She is from Kentucky. A friend of my son has a great big farm that is strickly for breeding Shepards and traing them for show, a pet, police, and the government. They are exceptional dogs. They have 100 % German bloodlines. The line started in Germany and all the dogs have the German line. There is no American Shepard Bloodline. I never new that there is two lines. To me a shepard is a shepard. But when you are in the breeding business just like anything else you have to know your facts. I am sure we will make out just great. She is lying right beside me as I am writing to you.

YEA!!!!! AR is back!!! Have to get used to the new teams. Actually I didn't feel too bad for the last two teams. If they had been a little more gentle with their donkeys, they would have responded better. And the ones who were eliminated stole another couple's taxi -- what goes around??? I really enjoy the scenery too!

Joyce -- I'm so sorry your little puppy had a problem, but glad he/she's okay now!! Years ago when I was married (before kids) we had two German Shepherds from the "von Freesland" line. Sure didn't have to worry about intruders with them around -- Christa and Dolph. They're sooo cute as puppies!!! Good luck! I wouldn't have the energy to keep up with one of them now!!

Talk to you all later...........

[Jappy]

Judy that is what has me a little worried the energy that she has. My daughter is helping me. She is a Dog Trainer and Groomer. When SAGE that is her name gets older I know she will be a great dog and my protector. That is the main reason I wanted the shepard. Being alone now. Her mother is from the Vom Drachefeld line. Her father was born in Germany and is on loan here to breed. His name is Va1(DK) K ARATS ULKO. and a lot of numbers. I will make it with my daughter and Gods help.

Hey there Joyce!

WOW!! I'm wondering what they call Sage's father in "everyday" language??? Also was wondering if he learned the obedience commands in German? Was watching something on Animal Planet about a competition between police departments who have K-9 units and some of those dogs respond to German commands. Amazing to watch!

I'm sure you'll do just fine with such professional help in your daughter close by. There's nobody near me so that's why I won't get another. Even if I did, I'd like to adopt an adult/senior since they usually get passed by. I sure miss the presence of Susan's sweet little soul!!

Here's to many years of happiness and companionship for you and Sage!

Hugs...........

Hi Judy, never thought of the father of Sage understanding German. You would not believe the house that he lived in. It was what I would call DOG MANSION . They had two fences built around it for protection, so that nothing would happen to him or also to someone else. Because if you are interested in buying a puppy and wanted to see the parents they would take you to see him. Well I see it is 7:45 pm Survivor is coming on soon so I am going to get myself ready for the night and enjoy the show. Do you watch Survivor?
