How about one of these
Got Sue some company for when I'm away doing murals this summer.
"Candy". So named cause she looks like a ball of Candy Floss with legs (think you USA peoples call it Cotton Candy?) She's a 7 week old Maltese Terrier/Poodle cross.
She already has a taste for toes,socks,shoes and contents of my waste paper basket. Thank God she's too small to negociate the steps down into my studio. Computer cables? And Damn it ...at least yer can put diapers on a kid. hahahahaha
Wonder if the IRS will accept her as a business deduction? Guard Dog ?

Watch out Jon, that ferocious hound might kill your cat. There is a good chance it will get stuck in the cat's throat and choke her to death! But seriously folks, watch out for van wheels and enthusiastic muts. Hi Sue, better start knitting that dawg a jumper for those Toowoomba winters, and get yourself used to the concept that the chair closest to the pot belly stove is no longer yours. On the up-side, it looks like if you soak he/she in enough turps it might be absorbent enough to remove any errant spills! David

I can't tell you what I'm getting him because he will see what I posted and know what he is getting! I will say it is sign related... Just got him the Drill Doctor thingy and a leaf blower for his birthday in October. BOTH were a hit! He renamed the leaf blower however...it is a "leaf-get-the-hell-outa-the way machine". Men and their tools!!!

Cool Jon, a self propelled dust mop! I gotta get me one of them We're being cheap for Christmas this year and setting a budget of $50 that we can spend towards each other. We're saving our money for the trip to Vegas in March! I'll probably be practical and get her some coupons for free car washes and the Indiana Jones DVD collection.
Happy Holidays,
Checkers

We're building a house so, not much money for Christmas per se. Bought her a jacuzzi tub and am working on installing it this weekend.
My fireplace will be installed later this week. ...and yep....it does get cold in northwest Florida.

Shirl is getting a remote car starter so she can jump in a warm car, early in the morning, when she goes to work this winter.

My husband's present is the hunting trip to Alabama (think we leave the 27th) with the extended family. I think there are 7 of us going. Georgous hunting lodge where they only stop serving 1 meal when it is time to start serving the next, non-hunting spouses go free and get to spend their days in the pool or whirlpool or horseback riding or watching the big screen tv or laying in front of the fireplaces. Of course, it's only 45 minutes or so from Lynchburg TN so I have to take a field trip to the home of my old buddy, Jack. Anyone who feels about Mr. Daniels the way I do, couldn't be that close & not go visit.

OK, I give you all a joke - read it quickly - things have a habit of disappearing around here
Three men died on Christmas Eve and were met by Saint Peter at the pearly gates. In honor of this holy season," Saint Peter said, "you must each possess something that symbolizes Christmas to get into heaven."
The first man fumbled through his pockets and pulled out a lighter. He flicked it on. "It represents a candle", he said. "You may pass through the pearly gates", Saint Peter said.
The second man reached into his pocket and pulled out a set of keys. He shook them and said, "They're bells". Saint Peter said you may pass through the pearly gates.
The third man started searching desperately through his pockets and finally pulled out a pair of women's panties. St. Peter looked at the man with a raised eyebrow and asked, "And just what do those symbolize?"
Hey Dan! I finally got to meet that Mouse myself last year. I'm reminded everytime I get a credit card statement. Oh well...Lydia loved it.
Anyways! I'm walking down the main street at Disneyland and this guy pushes his way thru the crowd yelling "Steve, Steve!" The guy explains that he is the Mayor of Disneyland and an avid reader of this Letterville BB. He really seemed thrilled to get his photo taken with the Mayor Of Letterville. Sigh. I love this town.

Jon, wait til you wake up to find yourself clinging to the edge of the bed for dear life cause the furball has worked all night at pushing you out of her way so she can be comfy. I got a Jack Russel in January and am amazed at how much room he thinks he needs for all the bigger he is. Since he's so little, he has this great ability to slowly slither into my lap when I'm working on the computer and suddenly I notice there's a cold nose nuzzling my neck. They definately take over.
I also have a 3 yr old beagle/daschund mutt. When I brought him home, he'd curl up with me in the evenings & nap on the couch with the blanket I kept on the back of the couch. Now he comes over & whines til I spread the blanket out on the end of the couch so he can nap on it. He has decided it's his blanket. What brats.
