OK, I give up. I can't argue anymore. I have both a puppy and a kitten sleeping on me,

[Redstone]

and those two warm spots have just taken all the fight out of me. Especially given that one of the warm spots is my bad hip, and the other is my bad shoulder.

I ain't arguing with anyone else tonight. I just can't.

Sorry to let y'all down like that...

1. Why, sir, do you hate America so?

*snicker*

Had to. It's in the contract.

[Redstone]

2. I hate American because of its freedoms, of course. But you already knew that.

Hey, how's your pooch doing with the recovery from his surgery? Well, I hope.

Redstone

[flvegan]

5. Don't we all, though?

And he's doing quite well, considering, thank you. I spent a couple hours cooking for him tonight. I'm a BIT of a sucker.

[Redstone]

7. We're all just that BIT of a sucker for our critters. I'd do the same.

Tell him that Crazy Uncle Redstone said "That's a GOOD boy."

Redstone

[flvegan]

12. .

Uncle Redstone. I like that. I like that a lot.

[Redstone]

14. CRAZY Uncle Redstone. Don't forget that part. But remember if you get

hit by a bus tomorrow, your pooch will have a home. We have plenty of space, and love to spare.

And that's the stone truth, and my commitment to your dog.

3. Probably a good idea, friend.

When you have little furry heating pads, take full advantage of the situation.
You can argue any day.

[Redstone]

10. Damned good advice. I'll take it.

4. Welcome to my world. The dachshund sleeps with us every night

and when I am sleeping on my back, she sleeps in the hammock between my legs.

On my side, she sleeps in the hollow behind my knees.

One good thing, she is a major heat factory which makes my feet warm.

[Redstone]

9. Same with our pup. Then the kitten wanders in and wants playtime. Riots ensue. Animals are dragged

outside for business. Then all settles down, with only an hour of sleep lost.

A small price to pay for so much fun.

6. The only warm spot in my bed

is the one I make...

:hi:

RL

[Redstone]

8. I'm on the couch, not in the bed. By bedtime, both of the animals are in full-tilt boogie mode,

and every time Mrs R or I turn over, we get our fingers nibbled.

We've gotta work on the schedule coordination around here.

Hey, I made my own warm spot for a long time. It gets better, trust me.

Redstone

[NC_Nurse]

11. Who wants to argue?

Not me, that's for sure. I'm not feeling so good tonight myself. Sounds like you're getting some good therapy on those bad joints. Too bad my animals can't really lay on my knees when I'm sitting at the computer. :-(

I think I'm going to crawl into the bed pretty soon. My tummy hurts too. Wah.

[MichiganVote]

13. Try not to let them pee on you Redstone

[Redstone]

16. Thanks for the out-loud laugh I got from your post. But hey, if they did that, it

would just be warmer, wouldn't it?

Redstone

[MichiganVote]

29. :) :) :) Yup. Now all you'd need is baby spit on your shoulder!

[Redstone]

32. I've had my share of that, believe me.

Redstone

[NC_Nurse]

18. Hahaha!

Thanks for the laugh. I needed it! :D

[bullwinkle428]

15. I figured you'd have a picture of the furkids curled up together, but

it sounds like this might be the first time you've caught them sleeping at the same time!

[Redstone]

19. It is indeed the first time. And I'm NOT going to disturb it by yelling for someone

to bring a camera. No way.

But bladders have limits, so the spell is gonna get broken soon.

Redstone

[bullwinkle428]

33. Yeah, I suppose they do have to go often when they're that young...

...you're just going have to have the camera in a convenient spot when the perfect shot comes around next time.

[lizziegrace]

17. It's a wonderful peace isn't it?

Unconditional love and warmth. I wouldn't trade my four-footed family members for anything.

:hug: to you and yours Redstone.

[Redstone]

22. Thank you, m'dear. It is extraordinarily peaceful. Except that the puppy snores.

I wish she'd stop that; it's not exactly ladylike.

Redstone

[lizziegrace]

23. There is nothing ladylike about beagles

They snore, burp and make other assorted noises. Could be worse, she could be a bulldog. ;)

[Redstone]

27. Oh, jeez, you just made me laugh out loud and disturb the critters. You're absolutely correct.

Beagles are astonishingly un-selfconscious.

Just part of their charm.

20. The cute picture I just got in my head...

...just made my night. :evilgrin:
Have a good one, sweetie!!
Duckie

[Redstone]

26. Your picture would be 100% accurate. We're here on the couch, and the only thing I can move is

my fingers to type on the Powerbook...I'm covered with critters. And I like it. I like it a lot.

If that picture helps you slide softly into sweet dreams, I'm glad I made the post.

My best wishes for the holidays for you and yours, YRD.

Redstone

[YellowRubberDuckie]

36. How sweet of you!!

And right back at you! :hug:
Duckie

[SPKrazy]

21. Meh, It's All Right Redstone!

puppies and kittens get us all at times

I know you'll be back on track soon enough

glad they are helping your sore spots though!

pain sucks!

:hi: :thumbsup: (handshake)

[NMDemDist2]

24. isn't it amazing they know where it hurts?

animals are awesome

lucky lucky man you are Mr Stone!

[Redstone]

28. Yes, they do. And even though I don't LIKE cats, last night AND tonight, the kitten

went right for my shoulder.

Guess I'm gong to have to re-examine my attitude toward cats.

(Just a joke. I already really like this kitten.)

Redstone

[SeattleGirl]

25. Your animals know just were you need the healing heat, Redstone.

:hi:

[Redstone]

30. Dammit, they do. See #28 above. (And thanks for the PM, too.)

[Radio_Lady]

31. Redstone, did you know that the royals of England used the Cavalier King Charles Spaniels...

for their aches and pains? I don't know about cats, but seems like you're following in a regal tradition.

I've heard that the women used warm dogs for their menstrual cramps, and to chase away the dampish climate of Jolly Old England.

I'm not making this up! There are paintings of these things in the museums around the world.

[Quantess]

34. I'm jealous!

A puppy AND a kitten...all cute and cuddling on you.
:loveya:
If that won't ease stress, nothing can.

[elfrangel]

35. Aren't furry heaters the BEST?!?!?!

We have 2, Ginger sleeps on my feet every night. They're always freezing cold. Julie is content to cuddle nearby...whenever the DH is gone anyway. lol.

Glad to know that you are doing so well.
