For the folks worried about my Dog.

[beenthere]

Did yo-all see where they repaired the last space shuttle with duct tape before returning from space. My daughter queried why they would have duct tape along in the first place.  ;D  Guess she doesn't understand riding on a 'low bid' Gov't machine. 

[Jeff]

Wasn't it duct tape they used to help build the CO2 scrubbers that got the apollo 13 crew back alive?

[Jeff]

A quick google to answer myself.  YUP!

Not worried about the pup putting a hole in the liner with a swipe of the paw??  I've seen it happen...

[rebocardo]

Totally cool!   

[Jeff]

We declawed him when we had her bark removed. ;D  NOT REALLY PEOPLE!

We were worried about the liner to begin with but this pup is a pretty sharp character. She doesn't go anywhere near the edge other then where her exit is. I did clip her nails a little to blunt them but thats because of her trying to beat me to her frisby all the time and clawing up my back.

[Furby]

There is a nail file for pets as well that you can use after you clip the nails.
The file has a curve in it from side to side.

[Jeff]

I've never saw one of those. She could use them.

[Snag]

 :D Dont know which is funnier, the joke or the disclaimer. :D

[Furby]

If ya can't find one at the pet store, let me know.
I'll order one with my Mom's next order.

We made  up a similiar device for the duck board on the back of the house boat. Steel frame with timber ladder treads that pivoted up when you were mooring or bringing another boat in alongside. The weight of the steel combined with the timber flotation kept it just low enought to allow a swimming paw to get a grip. retreiving dogs out of the lake during the day isnt so much of a prob..but when they decide to go for a quick dip at 0200 it is a little tiring. I will see if I can dig up pic to post over the weekend.

Jeff,

Is the new pup a replacement for poor old Sidney? Are you going to be in the market for a new Aussey?

[Jeff]

Don, Ice is an Australian Shephard and is a mix of blue and red merle. Thats why all the white. In most instances they dont allow those pups to live as they dont want to taint the lines. She would normally have been killed. Because she had enough color around her eyes the determination was made that she probably would not have the typical eye problems that the mixing of two merle genes strains can get.

She cant replace Sydney, thats for sure, but she sure has wormed her way into having a home here.

[Jeff]

There will be no more pool time for little miss ice today! Her and Juno decided to dig a hole together, of course ice had alreay been in the pool and was wet before she started. KIDS!

[Furby]

 ;D :D ;D :D ;D :D :D :D :D :D :D

[sawguy21]

Bet she doesn't get in the house. :D :D :D

[asy]

hehe I was thinking just what Sawguy said...

Also, she looks like she's had a dye job!

asy :D

[Jeff]

Oh, she got in the house. She got a hose bath shortly after the photo.

[isawlogs]

  Sheesh ... Dont take much to get grounded from the pool at your place . 

[Jeff]

Marcel, if you show up here looking like that and expect to get in the pool, yer going to have to stand in the wash tub and get hosed down first too.

[SwampDonkey]

 :D :D :D :D Marcel

Getting back to the dogs, glad you came up with a solution for their safety. This is the first I saw this thread. Watched the video also. Dogs ain't so dumb, eh? ;)
