Hah...Patti we have a lot of ties here...lol. My dogs love bananas too. Ever since I was a kid, I've loved a snack of bananas with maple syrup. As soon as I peel a banana, they pick up the scent and are hopping around me like little rabbits. lol. Lucy running in circles and jumping up on my legs and whining like she's a starving child. Oy vay. The drama. They also love, carrots and brussels sprouts as I mentioned, oranges, though I've stopped feeding them because I read about some toxicity issue with them and dogs, popcorn and chips which I don't feed them but maybe one or two ONCE in a blue moon, but Lucy still knows the word Chip. They know the word EAT too and I can't even spell it, they can understand the spelling too. Smart asses. Brooklyn is picking up on a lot of this, as soon as I open the fridge, he comes running and meowing. When I'm making his food...oh my, exactly like the pugs, he jumps up on his hind legs, reaches his front paws out to as far up towards the counter as he can as if to say "Please, give it to me, I'm dying of starvation, I can't wait any longer!" He jumped up and knocked down all the food the other day because he couldn't wait anymore! Whenever I give the dogs a cookie/treat, he comes and wants some too. He is so hilarious. He's fit in so ridiculously fast and so perfectly. I am astounded. He's like another dog. A very mellow, sleek and agile dog. LOL. I can't get over his begging and his talking. It tickles me pink (what an odd expression). lol.
Babylon huh? My boyfriend lives in Deer Park. He's a volunteer fireman there. His ancestry traces back to Brooklyn though, mostly in Park Slope. The LIE can be horrible definitely. Thank goodness I don't have to use it often, but the southern state is even worse if you ask me, and that, i get stuck on regularly. I live in North Massapequa which is a really nice family oriented area. I live in a basement apartment under an AMAZINGLY understanding and very cool landlady in her late 60's. I honestly could never leave because I am so spoiled living there. We're all like family. She and her son and his family live upstairs and they have 2 dogs, a cat, 3 birds, a lizard, a guinea pig and I'm sure there's something else I'm missing but unfortunately they're not the best guardians. Not terrible, but not the best. At least they love their animals. What a house huh? Altogether 4 dogs, 2 cats, 2 rabbits, 3 birds, a guinea pig, a lizard, some fish and coming soon...a partridge in a pear tree. lol. I crack myself up (hey someone's got to laugh at my corny jokes). lol. Hugs. It's so great to be here. The support and just having people to talk to who can relate on so many levels is great. I'll have more about Brooklyn on Saturday. GEEZ talk about babbling. I win. Hugs, Rebecca
