Ok... I have to correct myself ONE MORE TIME...

I was in a hurry to post, because I knew the photo was a fake.

Gibson is the TALLEST dog in the world.

Annnik

Wait a minute...

that's not the same Hercules I saw!  that's not even a dalmation!!

OK... here's my edit:
Gibson is who I saw and he's a spotted great dane.  duh!!

Oh Amelia!  You beat me to it.

I was looking this up on snopes, but couldn't find it.  Didn't think to look under "photos".   bear_grin

Hercules was on GSN (Game Show Network) a few weeks ago, on the "New What's My Line".  He was a beautiful dalmation that stood about 8 foot when on his hind legs.

Annnik

Oh Jane.  Big hugs to you!!   :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:

Did you pay through PayPal?  Can't they do something?  Look into eBay's solution center too.

I had a problem with a purchase last year and didn't go through these channels and ended up paying 3 times the purchase price to fix what I purchased.  I didn't want to "upset" the seller.  I should have sent the item back and demanded a FULL refund.

Other than what I just said, I wish I had some better advice for you!  So... MORE HUGS!!

Gotta show off my guys... but this is the best pic I have with most of them together.  The cat only roams the house at night and she is too good to go outside.  Apparently I was too good to go outside this day, I took this through my window.  bear_grin

DJ, on the left, is a rescue...  Ringo in the middle is my sister's dog that stays at our house during the day so he can play.... and on the right is the newest member of the family, Lily, the puppy that was dumped at our house a couple of weeks ago.

Annnik

Yea!  Thank you so much for posting that Jodi.  I think I could make something like that.

Annnik

No, we still haven't found him.  The girls do have hope that he'll "pop up" some day.  I know this sounds bad, but at least we haven't "smelled" him yet...

The bucket idea is great!  I should have tried that when he got out.

Annnik

:crackup:  :crackup:  :crackup:  :crackup:

I must print this out!!

Annnik

So cute!!  Love her. 

I don't know about sewing the clothes on, I am finishing up my bear "Jim" and I've sewn the clothes on.  I personally feel it give a more taylored look.  Maybe one of the collectors on here can help you more with that.

I just wanted to tell you how cute she is!  I think I need to have a road trip down to Austin so you can teach me how to needle felt better!!

Annnik

Aren't they fabulous!!  I just odered my second batch of mohair (yea me!) and as with my first order, I had to order more of these eyes.  I have to say, for me, these were the first set of glass eyes I've EVER used and they were so easy and the color was beautiful!  I can't see myself using any other kind.

Annnik

I'm in North Texas... we had 80 degree weather 4 or 5 days ago... IT'S FREEZING right now!  I did see a few snow flakes, but nothing made it to the ground.  BUT it's suppose to be like this tomorrow, we may get snow then.  I heard it snowed/sleeted around Ft. Worth which is about 2 hours southwest of me.

Annnik

I agree, I would have used the same noodles!!   bear_whistle
If the sink is clean, and ya shock the noodles anyways, why not?
(shock = rinse in cold water to stop the cooking process)

Annnik

oh I LOVE her!  Just beautiful.

Annnik

I want to, too!!

As a jumping off point, at least for me, could be gomakesomething.com ... there's a tutorial on making 10 cards out of one sheet of cardstock http://www.gomakesomething.com/content/view/49/2/  and a "formula" for making simple collaged ones for beginners http://www.gomakesomething.com/content/view/174/2/

I am saving my bear money for a new bike.  --->$$$$<---

I've got a lot of bear making ahead of me.  :P

HeeHee!!  Cute!

So far, my bear making/selling has just paid for more bear making materials.   bear_sad

BUT... when I start getting alittle extra, a mircoscope is what will be first.  (home-school-mom!)

Annnik

:hug:  :hug:  :hug:

BIG HUGS FOR YOU!!

Annnik

Oh!  The Color Purple!! How could I forget to list that one?

I start crying almost when it starts... LOVE that movie.  And I'm a horror movie addict!

They kinda look like they are mixed with blue tick coonhound

yeah, I'm sorta thinking that now too... I guess we won't know until she grows up more.

I'm gonna take some more pics soon, I'd like to get one with her and DJ (the big cat)... I'll post one soon.

As for being the neighborhood softie... that's my dad, not me!!  (OK, both of us.) 
We live in the middle of nowhere, but on a fairly traveled road.  So, this is where the dogs get dropped off.  3 of our past 4 dogs were dropped off.  (DJ was a pound rescue)

Annnik

Well, Tyson (the boy... get it?  he's a boxerbear_grin )... Tyson has gone to his new home... Lilly (the girl that looks like a pitbull) has been given the OK from my father... WHO TURNED AROUND AND GAVE HER TO MY KIDS!

silly grandparents...

MY dog, who thinks he's an 80 lb. cat, has been looking at her like she's from another planet and "what gives her the right to be in his yard, but I'll let you stay because you're cute, but then again, stay away from my stuff..."    He seems to be bored with the puppy... he's such a big cat.

Annnik

the picture isn't too great, but the boy looks more like a pure boxer.  the littl girl looks like a boxer/pitbull mix.

Annnik

OOOO!!  Steel Magnolias!!  LOVE that movie.  bear_wub

Annnik

Does "A League of Their Own" count as a chick flick?  Or is it a sports-chick flick?
