Get him one of those shallow child's swimming pools. Dogs love them.

love to, but water restrictions (not just where I live, but throughout
australia) are such that wading pools are not allowed. Heck, watering your
plants aren't allowed. amee was telling me that the Toowoomba City Council
gave every single resident an egg timer and new water saving showerheads
when they put the area onto stage SIX water level restrictions. When we
moved only 18 months ago, they were on stage 4 and Melbourne had just gone
on to stage 1, where we live were stage 4... whilst we haven't changed our
level, other areas are getting worse.

It's now official too, australia has had the hottest year on record even
with all the floods, fires and major catchment areas being well below 30% of
water in them!

Gosh! I had no idea it was so bad there.
Let's have a rain dance! I'll bring the ice.

Tamara>>Maybe we could send you some of the rain that we are having in
Calif. (Specifically N. Calif.). The storms are so bad, that they have
closed the Sierras all the way to State Line (Nevada), expecting another
Donner Party maybe>>LOL (Google that ).

Now I had a life long friend that was my best friend since we met in
Kindergarten, that moved to and has stayed down under for maybe 30+ yrs.
now. But he and I became estranged as friends over 7 1/2 yrs. now. Go
see him, cause he is definitely ALL WET>>LOL LOL .

Works for me, I'll bring an ice shaver and we'll have snowcones.

For a dchange, I actually agree. (quick, call the Vsatican, I see signs of
The Rapture ....

OT I liked, this just felt ... slower

Again, I agree (the Earth is doomed.)

The last part was what really turned me off to what I saw as a slow book.
The dog acting all Angelic-like was what bothered me. I) don't even think
it would have bothered me AS much if Nikki had turned into an angel. But a
dog, who in prior scenes had done everything a dog would do, sitting on
wounds suddenly healing them, well, that just bothered me.

The only part I liked and I could, somewhat, relate to was Piggy/Hope seeing
the dog yelled "Doggie!". As someone who would love to get a dog, I could
just see in my minds eye her face lighting up. I admit, I'm a sap when it
comes to animals.

Reader, suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of

I was hooked but only due to the fact I usually AM hooked. Basically I kept
looking *for* the hook. If that makes any sense (hush, Fred!)

Did you mean Stuart Woods? Amazon doesn't list any Steward Woods.
