Guest guest Posted January 21, 2004 Report Share Posted January 21, 2004 OMGosh!!! I'm LMBOPIMP!!! Tristan climbs people!!! I'm probably one of only a few that can totally understand that. I cracked up when you related the Duff's idea of why Maddie doesn't climb you. Unfortunately, I'm a tall person and Tristan DOES climb me. Not too good on the bad muscles, joints & back.

Now he can't play with the TV, or climb to the top anymore. Bet he would beat anyone in a game of King of the Mountain! LOL Gosh, 6 days after heart surgery he climbed the jelly cabinet and pulled it over on himself. No damage to him, but I still shudder just thinking about it. Took 's advice and bolted it to the wall. LOL Gail :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just can't break DH of that bad habit. Now at 40+ pounds, DH is finding it hard to let Seth *roost* atop his head! LOL Gail :-) Yep, same here GAil. And Maddie is EIGHTY pounds now!!! Still perches on her DAd's shoulders using his ears as handles...LOL donna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
