It's not whether you win or lose and stuff.... you know the rest. I told my little Kwanzaa Bee that she didn't win and her only response was "Take me to the dog park now!!" So I guess there are no hard feelings. She is ready to become a Valentine's Day Bee. I dare not say a "Martin Luther King" Bee due to the postings about my sweet sweet puppy :) Her real name is Paxil and she is the best antidepressant anyone could ask for. She saw my friend through a long period of unemployment. Paxil would love tOdd and vice versa.

Thanks Todd for all of the fun and laughter.

oh, i see. so desperate to win a damn bowl you start the crazy rants, iwannakwanzaa!
well, too late to hit us with that, "whether you win..." business. should have thought about it BEFORE entering the contest.
i look forward to seeing the 'bee' all dandified again, but please spare us the other nonsense!
:-)
p.s. "bee" is dee-lightful.

I am not IwannaKwanzaa. I was quite shocked at first at the comments made about my pup, but I then was entertained by the string of replies. I watched silently while seeing what transpired.

it's not surprising that you're refusing to take responsibility for causing all the chaos on the boards. it's 'the american way', fer cryin' out loud!
you fashioned yourself after the pols...stir up the pot, create mayhem & confusion, just to get votes. well, it might work in the general elections come november (probably), but we saw through that ploy.

now here's the drill, how 'bout tarting the "bee" as a valentine's bee? she's a sweetheart, fer sure.

Is that you? Stirring up more interest in my puppy. I don't know whether to thank you or defend myself to you. :)

nah, i'm just funnin' ya! i thought your sweet 'bee' was a hoot! something about her expression touched my heart. then, when iwannakwanzaa got into the mix, i laughed even harder.
seeing all of those terrific animals was pure joy, coupled with the fray...i can tell you, it really brightened my day.
i'm into FUN, massive doses of it!
now about those "bastard" jack russel's. what's up with that, huh?

:) My Paxil pup is actually a lab mix that I adopted from a local shelter. She has many lab qualities except that she doesn't like to retrieve. However, she loves to chase retrievers and steal their toys. Usually this instigates a fun run and chase game except when the retrieving dog is possessive of his toy. In that case a fight sometimes ensues. For some reason the dogs who are least tolerant of Paxil's klepto tendencies are Jack Russels and Yellow Labs. Cattle dogs, Australian Shepherds and Border Collies seem to like the game a lot more. I think Paxil is part Border Collie.
