Yay for another Pibble rescued into a loving home! The breed is an addiction, but of the best kind. :-) Just so you know, with a nose that color, she may require sunblock if she's outside for an extended period of time and Burt's Bees makes an all natural one which is safe for dogs.

There are no Fire Ants in Oregon. Trust me.

As a native Texan who attended PennState, I think it's a bit mean to laugh at Texans when winter weather strikes. Depending on what part of the state you're living in (and Texas is *huge*), it may not be common for your local county to keep salt on hand in the event of a winter storm. While I find it a bit different that homes in PA don't come with central A/C, I don't laugh at Pennsylvanians for being unable to tolerate the higher temperatures. Laughing at people because they're used to the weather in which the grew up is a bit rude.

@Wil, I don't know if you already knew about this (you probably did), but here's David Hewlett attempting* to play Pokemon, and giving you a shout out about 2:12 into the video, haha! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5DJMU68ubY&feature=plcp *I know he's probably faking for the sake of humor, but it doesn't make it any less funny to me, since I've never understood the rules (I'm really lame like that).

I have two Pibbles (glad I'm not the only one who uses that term, haha) who do the exact the same thing. I have a queen sized bed for my two dogs and me. I wake up in the middle of the night, and I'm literally sleeping on my side on about 6 inches of mattress! I wish I could use my cats to scare them away (my dogs have a healthy respect for their feline sisters), but the cats aren't allowed in my bedroom at night, as they mess with the blinds.

That's when I started tearing up!

I want to know how certain people draw what they want so precisely. Seriously, I must have the clumsiest fingers ever, because I cannot get that detailed.

I know it's already been said by almost everyone else here, but that's seems like one awesome Mother's Day gift there, now you just need to figure out how to top it next year, lol. Also, it sounds like y'all are getting some pretty perfect weather there. Here in the Houston area the weather’s been kind of nasty, particularly Sunday's weather. The sky was so dark and threatening when I left work that afternoon I could have sworn a tornado was going appear out of no where. I literally had to fight with my car to keep it from being blown off the road. Not fun at all, lol. Anyway, I hope the weather stays lovely there so you can keep on enjoying the payoff from all your hard work.
