Ah, yes......an Akita. A friend of mine has an all white one - beautiful dogs. Our last one was a German Shepherd/Doberman mix, or so the SPCA said. She wasn't huge though and had a slender body. There was NOTHING I didn't love about her except one thing - the shedding - UGH! She was worth it though - lots of great memories.

Unless hubby or our son was lying on the floor then she was right there snuggled up against them. Our second one would automatically go to hers when she sensed we were leaving the house. I would call it NOTHING but their doggie cave. I definitely think it is how you train them from the beginning. Ours never jumped up on the furniture either, nor would my husband ever allow them to sleep with us. Maybe that would make us not real dog people to some, but our pets were always well behaved and well loved.

The SPCA where we got one of ours told us if you set the example from the beginning as to who was in charge, the pack leader so to speak, most behavior issues would be short lived. They were right. Not much different than having a kid in that respect. And just like Tal said they sure can pick on stress and anxiety quite easily. They are truly amazing creatures.

All this talk is doing NOTHING but make me want to get another. My husband came home one Saturday from his ministry work not too long ago and told me one of the people he works with there breeds the various "doodle" mixes. Although she sells them for thousands, she offered him one from the litter for free. I felt myself getting excited about the prospect when I asked him if he really wanted one and he said "no, not really". So I responded, "good, then I'm going to pretend I never heard you say that"........:sigh: That's the closest I've come as of late.
We've debated about getting a dog off and on for several years now. Right now it just doesn't make sense. With me being gone a lot during the summers and how much we like to travel it just wouldn't work. Plus I don't feel like fencing our property. Maybe when we get to TV and have you guys to puppysit for us we'll get NOTHING but a new member of the family.. :icon_wink:

Wow that is a neat looking dog. I NOTHING but love dogs. I am one of those people who has to go up and talk to all of them and pat them if they are friendly.

Kuma is a pretty cool name too.

The Villages is NOTHING but a great place to have a dog. I think especially in the CYV neighborhoods people are very dog friendly. In my neighborhood I have no shortage of volunteers who watch him for us if we want to go someplace and he got more Christmas presents than we did.

I think the doodles are great smart dogs and I think that they do not shed?

Dalmatians are one of the worst shedding breeds but I have a robo vac that goes around daily and tries (key word) to keep it in check.

The dog ate my NOTHING again

You're NOTHING but a "bad girl" trying to tempt me like that - lol

I remember all the shedding by our Dalmatian, Ashes. Never NOTHING to clean up. We always had fenced in yards when we had her though.

I like the way you used your NOTHING there, Tal :coolsmiley:

Anyway, I can barely keep my eyes open. This may be NOTHING but a good day for a nap. Especially since I have no one here to bother me today.

I just started watching some good organization videos. My biggest goal for the year is an entire revamp of my office and files which need a major streamlining. Hope I don't get so engaged I NOTHING but miss out on my nap. Somehow I doubt much of anything gets in the way of your naptime - lol

My movie going often gets in the way of my nap and it could be NOTHING if I napped in the movie theater like some people. In some of the slower movies in the Villages' area you hear snoring that is not part of the movie.

I only go to one or two movies a week unless my relatives are here and they want to fill every day with a movie outing. I don't get naps when the kin are around, either. Talk Talk - Talk Talk 1982 - YouTube

Abby10 01-11-2019 05:16 PM
So NOTHING but missed out on my nap, but not because I was watching videos. Caught up with an old friend by phone instead. Well worth missing nap time. I'm sure someone on here took one for me - lol.

How about the rest of you guys? What's going on down there? Did the weather warm up? It's NOTHING but feeling like winter up here. Snow on it's way tomorrow night into Sunday.

Not to worry all that talk about naps made me NOTHING but need one. It is cool but still pleasant here, what you would expect in January.

Nucky 01-11-2019 05:52 PM
That dog that K-Man said should be named Nucky would be NOTHING but a compliment except just so you know my tail isn't that long.

I'm going to Nap now, I'm the leader of that department. Ready One Two Three Commence Nappy Poo!

Gee whiz.......I'm gonna start calling you guys the NOTHING NAPPERS!! Maybe when K moves down you can all group nap together and I'll just stand around and be jealous - lol

Nucky 01-11-2019 11:04 PM
Just NOTHING but got up because somebody had to go out to do peeps. I'm trying to do it inside more often! Yuck!

I have kept my self imposed promise to not just go anywhere at any time like in Jersey. No choice there. (Traffic)

Luca really likes the furniture, NOT! He's not really big enough to hurt it but it's just something we don't prefer. He's a quick learner but he keeps mumbling thing to us under his breath in I talian. Something about Napping or Sleeping with Samon or Lobster??? I dunno! Go Get 'Em Luca! :pray:

NOTHING but a slow Friday night on here. Hope you guys have more pep in your posting today. It's Saturday, January (I almost typed July - lol) 12th and I'm off to work so you won't hear any pep from me until later. That's if I have any left by then.

Your post is funny, Nucky. Enjoy hearing about the adventures of Luca. It adds a whole new dimension to our little Village of NOTHING. You sound so happy. I hope Mrs Nucky is too......

Good morning all you Sweet Nothings
Hate to be the one to bring it up but ..... since I haven't heard a peep out of anyone I'll be the first to ask the question: How are the DIETS going? It's been ten days since we first discussed.

N has been preoccupied with his new little cannoli, Abby, unfortunately, has had to deal with family issues, Tal will probably lose his weight in blood. So that leaves K, FW and me. So how is it going team?

I'm not going to brag but I've been on board, of course I have a strong incentive (each 1 lb of weight lost equals 4-6 lbs of pressure relieved on my hip) and so far, I'm pleased with the results. How is everyone else doing?

I lost 3 lbs. I had actually started before we had this discussion though. My goal is too lose it slowly and without doing anything radical so NOTHING comes back with a diet I can't sustain.

I nothing but agree -- slow but sure. I too started earlier (March 25th). As of this morning 34.6 pounds. But since January 1st, it's been 3.6 lbs.

I watch my 600-lb life for motivation (there but for the grace of God) and follow their 1200 calorie, high protein, low carb approach. For me what has helped is I have a spreadsheet and I write down every single thing that goes into my mouth. I think this is the longest I have stayed on a diet without cheating in my entire life.

I used to weigh around 135 lbs and am 6' 1". Now it is about 205 and sometimes 6' 1" often shorter depending on my posture. I could lose about 35 lbs. And not for NOTHING.

Took up weightlifting in the early 1980s in Reno, Nevada and had a friend who married a gym owner so went to that gym. She was a lot more muscular than I was at that time.

Then started walking everywhere up very steep hills in Belmont, CA and busing to night classes in Spanish at the College of San Mateo while working at Information Access Company as an indexer/abstractor. Did take the BART to San Francisco and south to Palo Alto though or the buses.

Yes. But how much of this was muscle?

My major exercise now is NOTHING but picking my 11 lb dog up when he is being a brat. He wants to go that way and I want to go this way. I do let him get his way with me often though.

I never wear heals, haven't in decades. NOTHING but happy feet for me. Even on cruises I only wear dressy but flat sandals.

I almost never wear heals either. And not for NOTHING. My boots do have a little bit of a heal. These are what I wear in case I step in dog poop which happens rather often at the dog park. Lots of social groups there who visit and sometimes do not keep track of their pooches. I have done this on occasion too. Some of these cliques have great jokes and I move from clique to clique rather easily. Just know when to keep quiet when various subjects come up.

Did show my healed boots off to Kim when I first got them and she had just been out on a date the night before wearing high heals. She is an old female friend who might read Talk of the Villages. Moved out of this area though, unfortunately. Just a friend. She is not that old though, maybe 55 now. Known her since 2015 or thereabouts.

Well it would not be smart to wear high heels at the dog park but I remember a quite fashionable woman that always did. She never walked very far though in them. And not for NOTHING. She was man shopping which is common at dog parks.

Many people just wear old clothes to the dog park and old shoes.

My Doctors visit gave me NOTHING but good news. Down 2 lbs since before we went to Jersey. I'll take it. On Tuesday things get a little more serious as I will be attending a class that always keeps me keyed up and tuned in.

According to my Weight Tal, I'm supposed to be 12 feet 8 inches tall. :1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

I still have kept many of the terrible habits that I've broken, still broken. The main one is soda. The other is snacking on garbage.

Like an alcoholic looking at the first drink, I had that feeling in a Gas Station on our trip and bought and drank a Diet Coke. It was horrendous and I felt guilty doing it but am glad I did. Back to no more soda for me with one exception. I have a Root Beer when we go out to eat because for me ordering NOTHING but water is not good. Brucenelson in another post yesterday suggested a documentary called TAPPED on Amazon Prime Or YOUTUBE. It may or may not change your outlook on bottled water. Check it out, it's about an hour long.

I feel better when formally dieting with Adult Supervision. :pray:

Nucky 01-12-2019 12:27 PM
As far as Drinking, That is NOTHING but on the no testing list for me. Life is so much easier without Boozing And Cruising.

Seem's like every time I drank in the old day I always broke out in Handcuffs. (An Old One I Didn't Make Up) Didn't say I didn't like it. How's that for a NOTHING mental
