Desperately Seeking Fido

Does anyone know where I can find this dog (see video clip, compliments of Aunt Dee from Florida)?

I need this fella to come train me on how to control Claire better. When Claire isn't attempting to crawl into the open dishwasher... or to sneak her way past the barriers in the living room to play with the window drapes that hang down to the floor behind the big leather chairs... or to carefully clean the middle shelf of the bookshelf in her nursery by removing each and every book (book by book by book) and scattering them on the floor throughout her nursery... or to crawl over the big, fluffy blue dog chair in her nursery to gain access to the power cords of her CD player/radio... Or, when Claire isn't doing any number of "fun" little things toddlers do to drive an already insane stay-at-home dog even more crazy, she's opening every cabinet door and drawer she finds in her path as she makes her rounds between her nursery and the kitchen. She's particularly fond of the cabinet in the kitchen (pictured here) that has the slide out drawers which hold the rice and lentil bean packages she likes to strategically place throughout the house. And when she's not clearing the kitchen cabinet of all pasta, rice and legume contents, Claire can be found in her nursery emptying her dresser drawers of all her clean clothes and scattering them over the sea of books she already has strewn on the floor. Yes, Stew has purchased the kid-proofing drawer thingamagigs that are supposed to keep toddlers from prying open cabinet doors and drawers. However, the thingamagigs require one to drill holes into the cabinet doors/drawers and base, and we're all a little frightened at the prospect of Stew wielding a drill. Plus, Momma doesn't want to damage the kitchen cabinets in the event we ever sell the "Love Shack" and move into a McMansion. But, since the nursery dresser is fair game (translation: hand-me-down furniture), Stew plans to one day install thingamagigs on the drawers. He'll probably get around to doing this the day after he finishes the guest room in the basement. That's right. THAT guest room. The one I told you about more than a year ago (original post). The latest deadline for completing the basement guest room that I overheard Momma giving Stew is, "before my folks arrive for Christmas." Apparently Stew thinks drinking beer in the basement while wearing a carpenter's belt around his flabby belly equates to "hard work" and "making progress". We all think Stew must have secretly taken online coursework (i.e., Ignoring Reality 101 and Critical Thinking for Dummies) from the George W. Bush School of Egocentricity. The next thing you know Momma will come home from work to find a huge MISSION ACCOMPLISHED banner hanging in the basement... even though there's still a disasterous mess to deal with in the unfinished guest bedroom. Does anyone else hear a ticking sound?

Bogart,
You are going to have to tell cut your stay-at-home dad some slack. Once, it took our dad 18 months to tile a 4X4 bathroom. And currently, we're on year two of "finishing" the mud room. It seems that other things (at our house it's the StarTrib Editorial Section and SportsCenter) come before actual work. And even though our mom thinks "WHAT DO YOU DO ALL DAY?" and wishes that he'd have kids all clean, dinner on the table and a cold martini waiting when she gets home, it never, ever happens.
It's nice to have a bathroom indoors on a day like today...

Hi there!
I would like to burn a theme at this forum. There is such a nicey, called HYIP, or High Yield Investment Program. It reminds of ponzy-like structure, but in rare cases one may happen to meet a company that really pays up to 2% daily not on invested money, but from real profits.

For several years , I earn money with the help of these programs.
I'm with no money problems now, but there are heights that must be conquered . I make 2G daily, and my first investment was 500 dollars only.
Right now, I managed to catch a guaranteed variant to make a sharp rise . Visit my blog to get additional info.

Good day, sun shines!
There have been times of troubles when I didn't know about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright pessimistic person.
I have never thought that there weren't any need in big initial investment.
Now, I'm happy and lucky , I begin take up real money.
It's all about how to choose a proper companion who utilizes your money in a right way - that is incorporate it in real deals, parts and divides the profit with me.

You can ask, if there are such firms? I have to answer the truth, YES, there are. Please get to know about one of them:

THE SAHD CLUB - A rip-off of the letter written by the kids from the 1980's blockbuster hit, The Breakfast Club.
