Well that's the end of that. I want to cry.

Bassets have long ears because oddly enough it helps them smell better. When they are on a scent, their ears actually hang in the nose area and prevent breezes from interfering in their ability to sniff out a quarry.

Latewood, I promise I'm not giving in!!!! And now that he's out of the house, and not puttering around every evening with a drink in his big paw, I used my Festivus party as a last-blast before I lay off the sauce for quite a while. I have to lose a whole bunch of weight and gads does the juice pack it on fast!

I'll send a pic and you will be the only one on this whole site who knows what I look like!

I am glad to hear it...I drank so much back then, that I can't believe I lived through it...If it weren't for MMJ and learning/mentoring here and other sites I would've been lost. To be honest...you won't even miss liquor after a few days. peace

I already don't! Honestly it was just becoming a habit out of boredom and the need to go 'out' to socialize as the relationship was starting to go downhill.... couldn't bear to sit home with the man and just go 'uhhhhh...yeah....' all evening. The bars were an easier solution. We could go out and we didn't really need to talk. ya know?

SA...

If he wanted to go drinkin and driving more than he wanted to be by your side you are better off to find out now.

When the person comes along that you are meant to be with *forever* there will be no drug, no model of truck...and noone or nothing else in this world that can keep you apart.

I agree w/ StormCrow...get out and be seen. I would also urge you to re-examine your past. I found my lifelong love in someone I knew WAYYYY back in Jr high school.

Lastly...here's some old fart advice for ya:

Don't look for love. You won't find it.

It will find you when ya least expect it

;-)

[stinkyattic]

Good advice.
I'm not really ready to get 'out' yet though. I need a whole bunch of nice selfish 'me' time. I deserve it dammit!

I have never heard anything about ears improving a dog's smelling ability. Latewood came the closest...both were intended to improve the dog's ability to defend itself when caught face first in a hole with the prey. Everything stretches......
