ah so THAT'S the dog in your profile pic! Haha, that's so funny! Doesn't he like water?

She. Yea, she likes it, when she was just a little puppy she retrieved really good, even in the water. But there were other dogs around, and she is very weirdly jealous of me when there are strange dogs around, if they get close to me at all. I guess that's why she kept climbing on me. She loves my old little hounds, she is like their puppy and never gets jealous of them tho. You would never know she has pit-bull in her until a strange dog tries to get close to me. Then I get a little worried sometimes, but she has never done anything too bad, just sounds really horrible.
Now that's funny :bigteeth:
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Tornado Joe)</div>Clamps are for wimps; though I did manage to slice my right palm wide open about two hours into my very first piece ever. I should have gone to the emergency room but instead I just filled my hand with napkins and wrapped it closed - like some sort of Asian foot binding - and changed the napkins every few hours for about a week then everything was fine. You'd think I would have quit then and there but no. I did get MUCH smarter about the way I grip and learned not to apply too much pressure!Quote:
Damn, you don't use any kind of brace or clamps!?? :eek:[/b]
And you're a female? Cool, I've known very few female carvers. Not to mention women (or men, for that matter) with the "courage" to try that kind of carving. I'm impressed.Quote:

Your wood carvings are amazing! I can't imagine what went into each individual piece.[/b]

I have always thought wood carving was cool. Then a few years ago I met someone online who taught me some basics and I have had fun trying my hand at a few things. I tried a ball in a cage, but it turned out pretty lopsided....lol. But I have done a few more pieces that I am kind of proud of.
When I get a chance I'll post some in Artists' Corner.Quote:

Thanks for the kind words, everyone.
Cool carvings!
and Burns! REALLY cute puppy, and as always, a wonderfull smile! :content:
Burns... I thought you'd know better than to support breeders! With all the lovable and eager to be accepted critters in pounds and shelters :shakehead2:
Nonetheless... he looks like a keeper. :sleeping:
heh we already tried getting a rescue dog... didn't you read my thread in the CT? He destroyed our house in 48 hours, so he went back to the rescue. So we tried but it just wasn't going to work - I can't have my house destroyed every time I leave. So getting a puppy was the only other choice so we could train it right from the beginning.
Thanks ranma! :teeth:
Yah, I remember that thread. Pounds do have puppies as well - just not as often I guess, though. Been thinking of names yet?
hehe yeah, another Final Fantasy name, Red XIII. So we'll have Cloud, Titus, and Red XIII. btw, this was all James' idea. http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e2...ons/tongue.gif
Nice pic ShYne...have you ever heard the term "bedroom eyes"?
Wow Joe you got that much snow? It's 22 degrees Celsius over here.
Awww... look at Macy! :D She's so cute!! I bet she loves rolling around in the snow.
Cute pup, Joe. :)
Beautiful dress, Nina.

Ska... you look nuts. HAHA
Dodobird, you forgot to take off your cat-ears before you took the picture.
(Don't be embarrassed; I did the same thing at work with a big plastic glittery tiara they put on my head for my birthday party. I forgot about it and walked all around with it on. I got so many looks and smiles I thought I was really looking good...then I saw myself in the mirror.)
Cool pic, Wolffe :)
Goldney, what a beautiful place to visit! I bet you got lots of great photos. Hope you had a good time :D
Yeah it was awesome, and I got a load of great pictures, espescially of the scenery, I never realised quite how mountanous Italy was. Oh and Vesuvius was spectacular. I threw several rocks into the crater to see how long they took to hit the ground, it was a big enough crater that I couldn't actually hear them hitting the bottom. Ooh and when we got back to the hotel we played poker for most of the evening. Aye it was a good trip.
