Jack, Baily is so cute!! He resembles my Mr. Magoo (he's a Shitzu, not likely a purebred... with crooked teeth.) It looks like Baily has the same window seat in your home as Mr. Magoo has in ours! A big welcome to Baily! MANY of us here are pet owners! Do you see a resemblance?

Both dogs are adorable - and sitting on their window seats - Jack tell Bonnie I love the cording she put on her checkered fabric -

Bailey is adorable! (as is Mr. Magoo!) CJ - good to see you around again. ;)

Both Baily and Magoo are adorable. I've never seen a Havenese in a puppy cut since I've only seen them at a dog show. Very cute. They are on my list of breeds I considered before I got Daisy.

Marcie, not all purebred dogs do conformation (the beauty pagent of purebred dogs) so the others have crooked teeth, extra toes, the wrong color i.e. lack of perfection for the current dog breed standard. Daisy didn't have the opportunity to be shown - she has a slight overbite and a crooked tooth!

Thanks all for the window seat photos..I tried to add a picture of Carly to the cute little furry friends pictures but it didn't work - but if you click here you can see her too! I hope it works..

Cute dog Claudia and same name as one of my granddaughters-

I think we need a screen name and password??

I just love Bailey and Mr. Magoo! They are so photogenic!

Jack and Marcie, maybe you have a second career in pet photography!

Trish

Carly has a face like my Gizmo's face. Darling! I love the soulful look in her eyes!

what do you mean Marcie?

Claudia, when I click on the link it's asking me for my screen name and password? I don't have AOL.

Me too!

Betty

Welcome to people and dogs (and cats) alike great to see so many new people..

Hi I have been lurking on this board for many months. I really got hooked during Pet Lover's world cruise. I am a working lawyer (but still have friends!)I am originally from NY but have lived in So Cal for 25+ years. My husband and I are leaving on 9/24 for the RSSC Tokyo - HK cruise. This will be our 2nd RSSC cruise, we were on the Baltics cruise last August. Before that 2 other cruises to the Med and Alaska on main line cruises. We are booked for next Aug on SIlverseas Copenhagen to Norway.Thanks to this board I was able to get our fare reduced to the current 50% off fare! Thanks guys! We try to get in at least one cruise and one land trip a year but have to work, so time is limited.But we are doing our best to see it all while its still there!

Welcome to LCT Ms Understood.

Anthony

Welcome to LCT, Ms Understood. Glad you came out of "lurking" mode. Enjoy your cruises.

Ms.Understood,

Welcome to LCT! You will find many like minds here on this board. Like you, we all love to cruise!!

Betty

Welcome Ms. Understood, I'm happy you enjoyed reading my WC diary. I know your upcoming cruise from Tokyo to Hong Kong will be GREAT! Welcome aboard LCT!

Welcome Ms Understood, I love when people come out of lurk mode! Your cruise sounds great.

Ms. Understood, I look forward to meeting you on the Tokyo-HK cruise. I too am a lawyer, but we'll try to forget all about that for a couple of weeks.

Ms. Understood, I'm one too, and so are others on this board, my intro is way up on an early page of this thread to explain it. Anyway, I too have friends, especially from this board! Like Crystal, we try to forget that, as it is these days something left unmentioned, although I am proud of the work I do.

Hi Ms Understood

Welcome to LCT! Glad you came out from under wraps! I am NOT a lawyer too but I have many clients in the field of law. Anyway, my field is financial consulting so I am glad we could save you a few $$$$$ on your cruise.

I am a So. Calif. neighbor. We try to include all the So Cal LCT'ers when we have a gathering. We're due to plan one sometime soon.

Welcome out of "lurk mode", Ms. Understood!!

Masaki

Thanks for the warm welcome. I have enjoyed lurking here because you all seem genuinely fond of each other. I live in Diamond Bar, much closer to Pet Lover than ChatKat. And my name is Helen. (MsUnderstood was/is a friend's stage name in a drag show and it always made me laugh)Anyway, thanks for all the unwitting advice/info over the last few months, maybe I can contribute some soon.
Helen

Wow Helen....you are practically my neighbor! We live in Fullerton. I'd love to hear more about your neighbor's drag show....sounds very entertaining!

Hi Everyone,

My name is Boue {short for Mary Anne} and my husband's name is Harry. I've enjoyed reading all your coments for a while now and finally got the courage to jump in and join you all. Harry and I have been on three previous cruises starting with Carnival and got hooked right away. This October we will be going on the Paul Gauguin to Tahiti for seven wonderful days and nights. We are so excited we can hardly stand it! We are open to any and all suggestions, coments etc. to add to the fun of it. This cruise is in celebration of our anniversary {27th} and my birthday {gulp 60}. We have three children who we are very proud of. Our oldest son is married to a beautiful young woman and they just had their first child. Our middle son just entered into law school and our daughter is in college and works as a dental assistant. Now if I could only get our dog and five cats to graduate and get jobs that would be it. As you can tell we also love animals and each one is a rescue.
I rambled on enough now so I will say good by for now. Happy cruising to all of us even if it is in our minds like it is in mine most of the time! Boue
P.s. Anyone one else going on the Paul Gauguin on October 15th of this year?

Welcome Mary Anne: I have not been on the PG but so many on this board have and will help you with any questions - welcome to LCT!!!!

Mary Anne,
Welcome to LCT!!!

Betty

Welcome to LCT, Boue! glad to see more people coming out of "lurk mode"!

Masaki

PS: How do you get Boue from Mary Anne? I'm still trying to figure that one out!

Masaki

"Boue" is just one of those childhood nicknames that never goes away. Guess I'm stuck with it but it's confortable. Did you get one pinned on you when you were little?

Hi Boue!
Welcome to the board and I am glad to see your post! You are going to love the Paul Gauguin, what a fantastic cruise for your special celebrations :)

Mary Ann, welcome to lct! There is a ton of information, much of it recent, on the PG with all kinds of suggestions for excursions, pre-and post-cruise hotels. You will love FP and the PG!

Welcome to LCT, Mary Ann. Lots of valuable information here. Enjoy!

When I was small and our family lived in New Jersey for a short while, I lived next to a little Caucasian girl and we used to play together. She had the hardest time pronouncing my name and decided that she was just going to call me "Michael" instead one day. :) Other than that, can't recall any other nicknames I picked up along the way.

Masaki

Welcome Boue!
I've not sailed on the PG but you've come to the right place to get all the answers you need!

In high school, people called me "brillo pad" or just "brillo" because I used to have a really short buzz cut.

I was tunafish. Want to play, figure out Betty's maiden name.

And welcome, Mary Ann. I seem to be the queen of hijacking topics on the board. Glad you have joined us. It really is a gret board.

Betty, Starkist?

Betty, Charley?

Lawrence - brillo?? :D

Masaki

Michael? New Jersey ? For some weird reason..I just don't see you living in Joisey.

"pretty cold here eh' bro?"
look out for da waves..etc..etc..
ALOHA oh vey!
