Chili is the red dog in my avatar picture. He's the Alpha, the dog in charge.
He's the serious one. His hobbies are chasing bees and sleeping.
I have to take a new picture of him, since his face is almost all white now.
He's 9 years old.

This is Jazz, or Mr. Kitty. 12 years old.


This is Wilson, Mr. Longhaired dachshund.
He's kind of "the blond" in the family, loves to be groomed,
always happy, never serious. He loves ice cubes. He's 7.

Nice photos! Your cat looks likes he might be bigger than the dogs!

What beautiful dogs!!! And Mr. Kitty / Jazz looks just like my cat Zoe. What kind is he? I'll have to find a good picture of Angel, Gabe and Zoe....

I haven't found any chamois butter around town yet but I do have some Walmart brand Simply Basic Coconut Butter. Looking at the ingredient list, it looks an awful lot like the stuff in the chamois butt'r etc. Anything jump out at you as a no-no for girly bits?

Shea butter, glycerin, sunflower oil, coconut oil, lanolin, perfume, and a bunch of scientific mumbo-jumbo... (that's probably where the bad stuff would be...)

Anyway, it seems nice and thick and glide-y. Of course, I've never tried the real stuff so what do I know....

I just tried my MTBike saddle onmy road bike, as well as Erik's two saddles, and none feel any better than mine. Guess I have to go down the the LBS and start trying out a bunch of new ones.

bikerz, yes, Jazz is the biggest one!

kelownagirl, he's not a purebred, I know that much. I think this keeps his personality from being too crazy. Other than that I don't know exactly. Yes, you'll have to find some pictures of the clan.

This is Zoe(cat) and Angel. Zoe is not happy that Angel is so close.

And the second shot is Gabe (chocolate lab) and Angel (golden retreiver).

I dont' know how to insert them into the post...

Great pix of beasties! I love the beasties. Angel appears to have a dashing little black mustache, or is that just the picture? Very sweet with the crossed paws, too. I love the pandacam. I forwarded it to my sister.

I am just about asleep at the keyboard, but wanted to pop in and say hi.

Today's my 46th birthday--I spent it all with my family. My brother and his fiancee (Soon to be Sister in Law) came to town (sort of the summer midwest tour--they're going up to her family on Sat). He took the train to my place, we fitted the Larkspur to him as best we could (he's 6' 2", I'm 5'8"), and took off. Rode down to Oak St. Beach for lunch with our Mom, then rode on south to about 30th, and turned around. He got a taste of it all: Small side streets, roller-derby dangerous north bike path, beautiful, peaceful south bike path, harrowing city traffic riding, and the long industrial corridor that is Elston Ave. 25 miles altogether. That ride has two big smells: Divine chocolate at Blommer's factory, and hideous leather tanning at ... somebody's leather factory.

We crashed here briefly, then mom, sister/niece/nephew/BIL, and STBSIL showed up. Pizza, salad, fruit tart, cupcakes, presents, chaos! All happy! Now all gone! I am so tired! Going to bed! Love to all, L.

Just came in from the back yard, Chloe had a very ambitious round of "oh a good stink on the lawn I must roll in it!" Of course, by the time I got my camera she didn't want to play any more. Then came inside where she played "greyhound running a race" in the hallway. Now she's passed out under my bed.

Chloe is the Corgi, right? They run sort of like dachshunds--they have no awareness that their legs are only 3" long.

As we rode today, my brother asked about the Larkspur, "Are you going to keep this bike?" I tried not to look shocked, and said, "Oh, absolutely." It was as if he said, "Are you going to keep both cats?" What, I'm going to ... get rid of it? I think not!

PS, Nanci, love the fake blood poisoning! Hope the cut's not too bad.

PPS, Mr. Potential called this evening and wished me a happy birthday. What a sweet guy. Why is it I long for the not-nice-guys? Good grief. MWBR, as always. L.
