the store and I can almost fill that thing up when I get her to sit still

long enough for a good brush out.......

You should try living w/ 3 st bernards!! My ex MIL had 3 in the house

when I first started dating my ex. I love those dogs. I used to tease

him that's the only reason I went out w/ him was to see the dogs. LOL!

Bostons are great! We are looking into getting another soon so that

Willie can have a playmate. Willie does fine while we are at

work/school all day. We crate him when we are gone and at night; but he

does fine if left out as well. They don't shed a lot. Mostly in the

summer; but they're short haired so it's not so bad. And if you bath

them weekly they're really not bad.

Hi Kim

There are all types of dog hair that can be woven.. I love llama and alpaca

myself well I get huge bags of it each spring.

I often donate things that I make to the SELR ( South East Llama Rescue)

they are very near and dear to my heart.

To the approval to the surgery when we went to the meeting to what it was

all about they said that Medicare is 100% so they are the easy one.. BCBS is

a PPO so I just may luck out.. I talked to a lady from our church today who

has the same insurance and she said it was approved with one phone call..

With my luck it will take 1000 calls before it is approved.

Llamas Rules, they are a little to big to bring in the house.. We have had a

cria or 2 in the house to dry them off.

Kim,

She is doing better with pain meds.....She is about 14 so I don't know

how good its going to get for her......It kills me to see her in pain...And

yeah she is molting! But she is an inside dog....So its not to bad. She has

slept outside for I think three days in her life, and that was when she

chased after a skunk in the yard and got sprayed.....She is sooooo

spoiled...
