Goodbye Fluffy, goodbye Bobo, goodbye Puffles....

No sweetie - you have not lost it. It is when you hear them saying Goodbye Dawn- you will know at that time that you have lost your presence of mind. I lost my presence of mind once when giving birth to my third son. They gave me a little gas ans air canister to take a few whiffs from when I could not take the pain. After 8 hours I through it across the labour room because it was empty and then they would not give me another one. I went for 15 hours with contractions lasting 90 seconds and 30 second break before the next contraction. 15 hours! I ended up kicking a nurse who was trying to prevent the baby from being born because she had not called the doctor in time and he would be cross with her because I had paid him privately. What does all of this have to do with your discussion. Nothing - but I feel better now.

you should be more careful how your express your thoughts on hairloss. Hairballs have feelings too. I have 2 cats and i name each and every hairball and then give them a ceromony with scented candles, while myself and the two cats say prayers under dimmed lighting as Michelle jarre jauque plays in the background. (a recording, not the actual artiste) as we flush them down the toilet. The reason for this is simple. I am a buddist and i am terrified of coming back as a hairball. the reason i am so afraid is i believe that if i do come back as a hairball someone will give me a silly name like Petunia.

LOL. I don't think you have lost it. I think you have finally got it LOL. I have names for some things too so don't think you are alone LOL.

he he oh my I had a laugh first one this morning. I can just see people dumping the hairballs into the trash and going so long puffy good bye dusty, sayonara fuzzie lad. now if I did that the men in the white coats would come to take me away for sure. My son once had downloaded a silly song about hurray hurray they are coming to take me away,those men in the little white coats, I just got a note 'from Napoleon V , that he's got something for me to see. After last night with my roommie moaning about how her hip was killing her and she had to go to ther hospital. finally at 11 last night the caregiver got an ambulance for her. so I went to bed exhausted but at three thirty this morning the ambulance men brought her back. and then she talked and played her radio and keep turning on the lights.saying oh did I wake you,I am sorry. really? so I have had about two or three hours sleep. now how on earth did I get off topic like this from hairballs to nutballs lol lol lol.you were saying maybe Ive lost it, and I am thinking oh my maybe I never found it, hairballs and all.

Oh yes! Spring is in, it´s almost summer time to Swiff everybody!! Haha, well at least our dogs. I take them yesterday with the vet to Swiff them. Is very cute that you played the fluffy game, with your girl! My children since they are at clubpenguin, they have "puffles" or something similar, haha... and they name them and feed them... and if they don´t feed them correctly they die. I think they are similar to Fluffy, Bobo, and Puffles! Blessings!... Dainy

LMAO! Well if it makes cleaning more fun the why not? My dogs have fine hair so their fluff balls aren't too bad. My daughters cat though because he goes outside had such a thick coat that he leaves cotton balls everywhere. Cotton balls is what they look like too since they are white. A friend who spins her own yarn made a comment about saving the hair to spin with now my 11 year old is saving her cats hair to spin into yarn..in truth I think this is gross but she is really into it and she will learn something I can't teach her by doing this (my friend is saving the hairs from her horse when she brushes her) and they plan to make little baskets out of them not clothes at least.

I do not think you have "lost it" I think you have actually "found it" as this is more like the discussions you used to start, before the divorce stress started. I am taking this as a sign that your sense of humor is back and you are more light hearted. My sister, when she became so unsteady she had to have a quad cane, named it. In fact, I think in my family we name almost everything. My brother and his wife drive a Corolla named Cora and a van named Ferdinand.

Have you considered joining other groups where you have some time with other adults? LOL....well...maybe the hairballs are like old friends...some people won't give up their teddy bears...maybe you have found a friend in hairballs.

If I named all of the fluff stuff I found lying around, I'd run out of names to call them. But why name 'em when they're going to be sucked up anyway? Yup...you've lost it.

omg, yes. dogs do shed a ton more. my little tiny coco, sheds so much that people who arent used to it imagine they've got hair in their mouth when they visit. when we vacuum or sweep, we often joke about the fact that it looks like enough to make another Coco in the pile. wonder how it can be almost as big as her?

LOL! I have a population of these little critters inside and outside our home! I never considered giving them names, it is an interesting prospect. Perhaps they (the hairballs) should be given a voice so we could possibly negotiate where they should live. Who knows that we may not be able to reach a compromise and all of us live happily together...Perhaps not...OMG, I need to lie down...

Now that ia funny! I think Michelle has lost it! Not you! This discussion made me laugh! I really needed a good laugh! Thanks Dawn!

Oh, some dogs can shed a lot.. I have noticed that with dogs having long hair, one reason i really don't like all of the fur dogs (i love huskies though) but i didn't know it happens with cats too. In fact i didn't even notice that when we had our cat. Next time say goodbye to Mushee-Mushee.

Are we suppose to comment on furballs or you've lost it? With Shelties I can't even say they're furballs, it's just globs of hair everywhere... I've given up trying to dust, vacuum, sweep, etc. The dogs run through once and there's globs of hair again. Now I'd like to quickly address your last question...yup, you've lost it.

i think 6 cats=1 big dog..at least. we have dust rhinos around here. i wonder if there's any market for cat fur felt?

Thanks for a great laugh!!! I think it is great that you give names to your furballs! I think sometime you have to "lose it" so you DON'T lose it!!! Great call!!!

Can't lose what you never had in the first place.

I can't remember people's names, how could I possibly remember a dust bunny's and how would I know if it was the same one. I do name spiders and mice if they are aroound a long time.

LMAO Every morning when I wake up I can say it again.Welcome Fluffy welcome Bobo welcome Puffles welcome ....and the others a nameless.I got 2 Gogs both long haired. Its a new fight every day lol

Honestly Dawny, you lost me there.
