Loordy, Lourdy the COUCH is 40....

The Malinois is my favorite and my new dog looks almost exactly like one, although the vet thinks she is German Shepherd, heeler cross.
Wikidpedia photo:


I tried to add a photo of my dog, but it's huge. But, the photo above is exactly what she looks like.

MKAC - I am sure she is quite a handsome dog like the one in the photo.
The breed I am most attached to (and what I have) is a herding breed, but not much used in police work. I like the looks of the tervuren best out of the belgians because of the coat. Which would also be a drawback for some. But my dogs both have longer coats like that.

Good afternoon, couch.

Howdy Healed, what you doing? I'm watching the lawyers discuss dogs and poetry.

Just dropping in to say hi. Still sick with bronchitis but got some meds for it from the doctor yesterday. Hope everyone is well. I miss being on here more.

Glad you got meds MeL, get to feeling better. I am going to eat my 3rd piece of pizza and 4h crazy bread, It's like I have a tape worm..... hungry

LOL- those lawyers.. interesting creatures they are. I am just chilling at home.

I hear ya sister, I like to sit back and watch them , in their natural environment .

Verse For a Certain Dog by Dorothy Parker

Such glorious faith as fills your limpid eyes,
Dear little friend of mine, I never knew.
All-innocent are you, and yet all-wise.
(For Heaven's sake, stop worrying that shoe!)
You look about, and all you see is fair;
This mighty globe was made for you alone.
Of all the thunderous ages, you're the heir.
(Get off the pillow with that dirty bone!)

A skeptic world you face with steady gaze;
High in young pride you hold your noble head,
Gayly you meet the rush of roaring days.
(Must you eat puppy biscuit on the bed?)
Lancelike your courage, gleaming swift and strong,
Yours the white rapture of a winged soul,
Yours is a spirit like a Mayday song.
(God help you, if you break the goldfish bowl!)

"Whatever is, is good" - your gracious creed.
You wear your joy of living like a crown.
Love lights your simplest act, your every deed.
(Drop it, I tell you- put that kitten down!)
You are God's kindliest gift of all - a friend.
Your shining loyalty unflecked by doubt,
You ask but leave to follow to the end.
(Couldn't you wait until I took you out?)

Dickinson. She lived nearby. She visited the Cape often. I just "feel" her sometimes.

Exultation is the going
Of an inland soul to sea,
Past the houses—past the headlands—
Into deep Eternity—

Bred as we, among the mountains,
Can the sailor understand
The divine intoxication
Of the first league out from land?
—Emily Dickinson

Nice twist, the CPA will play with the attorney's.... whatever shall happen?

The lamb will lie down with the lion...

T was okay...sometimes I wonder whether her questions are for therapeutic reasons, or if she is just nosy. Today she felt nosy. Talked about the home invasion...err, I mean inspection. There are a lot of feelings in me about being engulfed by others, having nothing of my own or to myself. I feel robbed when people get too close, like they are going to steal a part of me. Maybe because there were so damn many kids in my family and I never had my own space. I am very selfish of my home and family. I like my privacy very much, maybe too much.

I am off to get some printing done.

OH...and guess what? I won Creative Suite 6 premium! I had entered in a design competition where I had to design an advertisement. I just submitted the ad that I created for a non-profit I help out with and I won. So now I have the latest and greatest adobe software (and $1900 value).

Wikid - perhaps time to reread A Room of One's Own?
and good job on the design win.

I get this.

Hello everyone. My request to have my account removed has not yet been fulfilled. Therefore, I will take this opportunity to say hi and I love and miss you all. I'm thinking about you all.

Take care Couchies. Take care.

Jersey out.

We love and miss you too Jersey... Come back we have a like button@!

JERSEY!! Stick around for awhile! The couch is comfy today

ok quick couch question.... does anyone else have a phobia with public restrooms? I prefer a one hole-er and would rather hold it all day then use a public restroom. Am I in the minority?

I don't have much of a problem with public restrooms.

Jersey- why delete your account - could you keep it but just not sign in?

I hate public restrooms would rather wait tll I get home.

I like it too. Nobody's looking at you. You get to eavesdrop on everybody else's conversations and thank your lucky stars you're not stuck with those people for the rest of your life. And you get to chat with your single co-diners if you want. Eating with people is also fun. It's nice to be able to have both. Not be so scared of one that you settle for an awful version of the other?

Same answer applies for the public restrooms, more or less!...
