that is the correct meaning' chupa=to suck and cabra= goat. i can get you a t shirt here in NY that has the picture and the name, except they usually make it a plural name=chupacabras. It is a very popular myth in the spanish community, not sure why Mulder thought it was mexican only. Those aliens!
anyway, I'll save one t shirt for you and your baby!

LOL! chupacabra!! where did you get the translation? some call it a vampire of sorts or a zombie, they even 'saw' it in Europe. Hopefully your chupacabra is nothing like the myth! funny name! love it!

Count me in as a dog lover!  I have two cocker spaniels and they are just the best!  I really miss them when I am at work.  Of course--like many of you--they "run the house"--but they ask for so little and give me back so much!  Ever since I was dx'ed this year they have been hanging around me even more than before--I think my husband is jealous!  But they know something is going on and they want me to know they are here for me!  I just love them.

LOL my dog weighs only 17 pounds.......it's inconceivable to me (right now cause I don't have one anymore) to imagine a 120 dog LOL. I can't imagine having a dog who weighs more than me (although since I've started gainning weight back...that might not be the situation for long :)

I have a mini lop rabbit and he is the most adorable, affectionate thing I have seen, so what if he does not wag his tail?

I love animals, mostly mammals.
maybe some reptiles also. having a warm, little four legged body, close to you and loving your touch is the best antidepressant.

LOL I saw a movie on the SciFi channel about the ChupraCabre (spelling?) and I had never heard of it before in my life...I thought they had made it up.

Next time I need a good name Iam coming STRAIGHT to you! (or my pal Beagle since we obviously share a commonality since we name our dogs the same name LOL)

Cowgirl...get outta here you are killing me.

Now I feel like Bailey was such a lame name I should have named my dog SunSprout or something huh?

Lame names for dogs--how about Murphy and O'Reilly--do you get the idea we're Irish??  Of course that is there real names--they often get called so many other "baby" names--makes you wonder what they're thinking sometime!!

I had a Siberian too and had to put her down.  SHe was one week from being 17.  It was so hard but I should have done it before then. I got her when she was 1 1/2 because she would get out anywhere of anything.  I used to race her (on sleds with wheels as KC does not have consistant snow)  She was my baby.  I since have 2 goldens and a cat.  Now my goldens are getting old.  Not sure if I have the energy for a husky anymore.  They require lots of exercise but hey that may do me some good.

WOW it feels like I haven't talked to you in SO LONG!!

I completely agree with you you know...dogs DO have an inner sense and help their friend when they are in danger or injured WITHOUT a doubt.

Years ago my Doberman Bandit came in behind my daughter who was only like four...she was SCREAMING AND crying and I thought the dog was after her (it's what it looked like - he kept trying to bite her head I mean he was LITERALLY nipping at it!).  All of a sudden she picked up her hair while screaming and a big black wasp flew out...and that dog barked and growled and chased it out the door.

In all my life I never saw anything like that.  Gosh I miss that dog - he was one of those dogs that when he wanted to go out would go "oooooowwwh" so you knew. I loved having a talking dog at parties LOL.

You guys can count me in on loving dogs.  I love my pups.  I have three of the lugs.  We have 2 80 pounders that sleep on the bed with us and then a 40 pound girl who is a clown and a pain in the booty at the same time.

I don't know what I would do without my dogs.

doglover my husband has been through 2 motorcycle accidents (still recovering from this last one) and I have pictures of him with all the dogs around him while he was laid up.  dogs are just the best.

When I had my c sections and things went totally wrong I was recovering for 3 months and during one of the recoveries I had to lay flat with my knees angled up.  The home nurse brought this pad that will do it.  One of my dogs laid under my knees to keep my legs up.  Now that's loyalty right there.  To this day he still sleeps at my feet and most times crawls under my legs.

Aaaaaah I could go on forever about pups.  I tell ya.

one more thing...when I first found out I had hepc I told the dogs first.  I wanted to practice how I would sound telling people.  They sat and looked at me like great, thanks for sharing can you throw the ball now!!! hahahahaha

I think there are lots of dog lovers in here. Sign me UP because my baby is just the most wonderfull doggie too.  I can only have one little guy right now cause of my housing situation but look forward to the day I can get a couple more big guys to run with him outside. :)

Beagle Bailey and I both have doggies named Bailey :)

Shelly you sound SO MUCH better today...like you have some gumption (gosh how old can I sound???) back today.

I bet a lot of us have had real **** lives going on for a while now (waving my hand big time here).  Isn't it so great to know that we aren't alone. I mean I don't WISH it on anybody else the GARBAGE that has gone on with me either...but it's nice to know that people UNDERSTAND.  That helps me a LOT.

Best of luck to both of you guys.

A lot of emotion gets left on these pages.  I had a series of really bad things happen to me over the last two years; my wife left me, I was in a bad motorcycle accident, I lost the home I had worked so hard to buy and make so special, I found I had hep-c, I lost a job and had to file bankruptcy.  I have so much back pain I must wear an internal pump that doses me 24/7 with morphine.  I went from being a very social man who had a lot of friends to a virtual recluse.  Now I'm looking at interferon and all the unknowns that will bring Throughout all of this my two babies have been there for me. I can be gone for five minutes and they greet me like I have been gone all day.  They love me without any conditions.  They are pound mutts and every day of their lives they share with me I love them just a little more.  They have complete run of the house, sleep on my bed with me and they even let the kitten attack their tails.  These guys brought me back from the brink.
You take good care of yourself
PEACE
