What Happened Ozzy?
 

This link shows that, if Ozzy did any research, he chose the camera
that came on LAST for his money.

http://s92093572.onlinehome.us/images/12_iso_small.jpg

But Ozzy's "photographic needs" made the 350 a better pick. He needed
the poor ISO performance, terrible metering system, lack of built in
wireless flash control, lack of true spot metering and more for his
"needs."

Now THAT'S research! Good work, Ozzy. You narrowed down your choices,
read the reviews and chose the model with the best ad campaign!

C'mon, don't ignore the truth, be a man!

Bwahwhawhahahahwhawahahaaaaa!

Why doesn't Thomas ever smile in all his pictures? I was going to ask you
the same thing earlier, but Oz already beat me to the subject.

Thomas is a beautiful baby, but I'm truly concerned for him. I've been a
stay-at-home mom for 15 years. The counselor years ago pulled me into her
office and commented that my two sons are the only ones that come to school
with a positive attitude and especially a smile on their face every day *all
day*.

The counselor wanted to pick my brain about why my boys were different than
the other 98%. After a long discussion, we came up with the answer. Most
kids are thrown into daycare at 6 weeks old. They meet caregivers that are
paid minimum wage, and they change jobs monthly. They didn't have any
*real* interest in the child. You claim you have a great interest in your
son and I believe that.

On the other hand, the counselor talked about reflection. A child reflects
what they see. I was always smiling at my boys and they grew up familiar
with smiling at the world. She thinks that's where they got the happy faces
from.

Does Thomas see you smiling all day long? Or does he see you at the
computer frowning...pecking on the keyboard all the time? Maybe Thomas
looks so sad because his mom isn't home with him?

Just my reflections on a beautiful boy! You should be thankful and spend
all your time talking to him, even before he can understand. I talked to my
sons very young, as soon as they could sit in the shopping cart. I took
them through the fruits and vegetables and let them touch each one and told
them the name of the fruit/veg.

The counselor also commented that in the 3 rd on both sons, they have never
seen a vocabulary with any others in their grade. Think about it.

Unfortunately I didn't sail.

My poor old boxer had to be put down after being my best mate for 11
years.
Got ill while I was away skiing and was diagnosed with lung cancer.
Pretty bloody agressive it was too, almost 8 weeks to the day it was
the end.
Had a great few weeks with him, spoiled him rotten, took him swimming
and generally had a ball while the drugs were on top of it.
Unfortunately it couldn't last and yesterday he wasn't too good, last
night, I spent the whole night up, with him lying on the lounge and
his head in my lap calming him through his pain.
Early this morning, I rang the vet and told her the bad news, she'd
been expecting it and asked me to bring him straight down.

Anyway, he's gone now and it'll be another 5 years or so before I'll
want to begin the whole process once again.
It's worth it, but jeez when the end comes, it sure messes you up.

Great looking dog, OZ. Sorry about the ending. If science wanted
to do something really worthwhile, they could look for a way to
extend dog life so that wouldn't have to lose our faithful
companions so early.

Sorry to hear it Oz. I lost my buddy after 16 years of
companionship. I haven't gotten a new dog yet. It's been
five years and I'm just about ready to get another one.

Sorry to hear about your best canine buddy, Oz. Been there, done that...

Got ill while I was away skiing and was diagnosed with lung cancer.

So you allow him to smoke?

Pretty bloody agressive it was too, almost 8 weeks to the day it was
the end.

I know exactly how you feel. I had a Giant Schnauzer that used to go to the
airport with me everyday and fly most all flights. He had a tumor the size
of a football, and the surgeon couldn't get it out without being aggresive
and him bleeding to death. I too, had to do the humane thing...that was
over 16 years ago. The feeling still sting, but it does get better.


Anyway, he's gone now and it'll be another 5 years or so before I'll

That's a good point. During the past century the mean human life expectancy
has increased nearly 20 years. During that same period the various breeds
of dogs have netted a year, if that, on average.

16 years!
Wow, what was he?
Best I've had was 12 and again, it was a quick end with cancer,
probably the most common killer of the breed.

I know how you feel, 5 years is about what it takes me too.

I said after the last one "never again" but my kids needed to grow up
with a dog.
This time...well, never again....

The general rule is that the larger the breed the shorter the lifespan. Of
course there are exceptions, but Irish Wolfhounds live about 6-8 years while
it's not uncommon for small terriers and miniature breeds to live well into
the teens. Our two golden retrievers lived to ages 11 and 13 respectively.
A friend's miniature dachshund lived to 18.

Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn's rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there, I did not die

If I knew it I would have. Nice poem

We had to put down our last dog Simone, the schitzu. We adopeted him
from an animal shelter when he was 8 years old and had him till he was
21, Terry still misses him.. We got Skipper a couple mo. later.

When I was still in the pet business, I had to deal with loss
frequently. I found, over the years, that it is much better to
anticipate and find a replacement before the event occurs. One of
the reasons I suggest this, and most vets will concur, is that a
sick or aged pet will extend their life when a puppy is introduced.
Another is that the hole that is left is not so great. Barring
that, filling that hole soon is also IMO, the better way to go,
remembering that the new pet is NOT the old pet.

That means they have to come up with another two years to equal what has

My buddy's neigbor had two Boxers which soon had a
litter of five. They kept all the puppies, and we called
it "The Hoard". It was a great sight to see and hear
when "The Hoard" attacked!
