I've been thinking of names for Asia, the foster I have now. I think Daisy and Asia are getting attached and I'm thinking about keeping her, except that she eats poop - ICK! No doggy kisses from her. Anyway,one of the cutest names I've heard was Helen for a Bulldog. I like people names for dogs. If you like fashion, Coco is a good one, too. And I am seriously considering Condi for Asia, since she is a woman I admire. I try to stay away from the names of people I know personally. [Wink]

JJ,
I kind of like Tuffy for a small dog.

A friend once had a tiny chihuahua (sp) named Killer. It had a little tee shirt with Killer on it. I think the dog thought it was a killer too. Funny.

I actually had another one at one time named Missy. Don't know what it is about those double letters, but anyhooo...I think next animal I get will be more than one. I'm thinking about a bird like Sammie, AND a dog, AND a cat....

Why does Old MacDonald come to mind?

My sister had a toy Yorkie that weighed in soaking wet at 5 pounds and he thought he was a giant guard dog. His name was Tiger, cute as could be. My two little Yorkies are Reeta & Rosee. Janis is going to be so happy by the amount of love these little dogs can bring to us (all dogs really) I am so happy for her, way to go big Dan!!!

Gee Daisy, that hardly seems worth it, which is a big problem with all this high tech stuff in the first place. You can buy an Ipod shuffle for $100, or is it the Nano one? There are so many now. New ones come up so fast, the old ones get outdated just when you get used to them.

Dotsie, we are very mod I guess. He loves anything to do with music and he is so into that Ipod. I'm the computer geek. I have trouble with the remote control for the tv, but I can do most anything on the pc. He can't use the cell phone. That one's mine too. [Smile]

Louisa, I can totally relate the the remote comment. One night, Ross and I found ourselves hoem alone so we decided to watch a movie on the big screen in the basement. We were all excited and set up down there and what do you know? We couldn't figure out how to work any of it. There were so many remotes and we couldn't get a dang thing to work. We gave up, went upsatirs on watched don the smaller TV.

The kids came home. We told them of our dilemna, took our son in the basement, and sonny boy said, "all you do is hit this."

Now I know how to use the TV but not the rest of the mess.

Tell me about it. I was babysitting Lea the other day and right before my son left he said, "oh Mom, here are the remoteS for the TV." I said, "forget it. They look like the inside of an airline cockpit." He said, "Well, if you need help, ask Lea." EVERYBODYYYYYY is a comedian!

Of course later in the afternoon, Lea goes over and cuts off the TV. I'm thinking, "now how in the heck am I gonna get that thing back on." She then goes back over and turns it back on. She's one.

I remember Mom and Dad getting their first answering machine. Mom kept asking me how to use it when I visited. I was like...what's the big deal? All you do is push this and listen. Now I can totally relate.

I have several friends in their seventies and boy are they ever technology challenged. I'm always having to try to get them out of some computer mess and it's so frustrating because they simply do not 'get it.'

One of their daughters was trying to teach her Mom and Dad to use their cell phone. She said, "Mom and Dad are the Helen Keller of technology." I laughed because I understood exactly what she meant.

I don't think my mom would do well with a cell phone, but she sure has calling cards down pat.

Never mind all this technology stuff with eletronics, remember trying to go from curlers to blow dryers and curling irons? The first time I had my hair cut into a style that could be blown dry, I thought I would never get the hang of that thing. I thought I would spend the rest of my life in curlers.
