bmwgem I have to say that I also joined for the money but like you say you don't earn much and I'm still here so what does that say? I enjoy some of the discussions and love it when I can really help people with their dilemmas.

graceandowen @graceandowen (1637) 25 Mar 08

Does your dog pee when it gets excited to welcome you home?

kulaskulasito @kulaskulasito (430) • United States 31 Mar 08

Mine's really weird. Manytimes, my dog gets so excited to welcome me home, she scatters her pee all over the place while she scrambbles to jump at me to get my attention. I'm not sure if this is normal. What do you think?
