Show Off Your Kids!

[leese]

Kids giggling; best sound ever. Thanks for sharing them!

[Jezzebelle]

Alice!  School Halloween Party!

[Maggie the Opinionated]

What a cynical bid for applauds. You know she is adorable and will attract them!

[Jezzebelle]

Yes, and as you can see I have no influence over her at all.... peac**k last year, and Alice this year

Game! You have a whippet!!! 

Ok, cute kid, too. 

I have a greyhound and several Italian greyhounds. No kids of my own, so a sighthound draws my attention first.

We have two whippets actually, there's some pics in the pets photo thread.

We actually wanted italians to begin with, but when we looked into it it seemed that whippets were a better fit for us since they need less exercise and kids can better handle them.

Sighthounds are awesome dogs. Do you also try to push the breed on anyone wanting dogs?

Do I push Italians? Not really. They're kind of a specialty breed. Needy. Want to sleep under the covers. Break relatively easily. Easy to step on. For the right people they're the BEST, but they're not a good choice for some people.

Do I push greyhounds? Same sort of thing. I think its very important that people find a dog that meets THEIR needs, so I am very honest about what they're like so that people can make up their own minds.

For me, Italians are the best breed in the world with one shortcoming. Difficult to housetrain completely. I have two indoor potty stations set up (washable potty pads), and so they are perfect. We also have a doggy door. But I also keep them out of the carpeted half of the house, just in case.

Whippets appear to be a bit more "doggy" than greyhounds and IGs. Perhaps a little easier to train, a little more likely to be good off leash if one is so inclined, and I'd heard, more active. My IGs snuggle A LOT. One of them, though, thinks he's a greyhound and runs around with my big girl. Its kind of hilarious to see this little guy strutting around like he owns the place.

I've also had two borzoi in my past. Gorgeous and very nice dogs.

I'll try to get around to posting some dog pics in the pet thread.

[Jezzebelle]

Both my little monsters for halloween

[leese]

^^Too cute! Your daughter's smile is always so adorable. It's like she's trying extra hard to give you a good one.

[Jezzebelle]

They both could use some smile lessons!  That was pic like 10 that only turned out half way decent.... 9 times out of 10, I get this:



It's like she smiles out of one side of her mouth only :D

Better than my boy at that age who always looked like a serial killer in pics with his dead eyes, LOL

[leese]

Fart maker. What kid wouldn't give you a huge genuine smile.

Jezzebelle, your daughter's smile is so precious. Your son, well, he scares me (but he's cute) Please don't take that the wrong way. Such cute kids!

[Airyaman]

What's to be scared of? No way a killer wears those shoes he's wearing. Those shoes are too laid back for the killing type.

[Jezzebelle]

LOL!  He's a killer on the football field for sure :D  Playoffs round 2 tomorrow!

Thank you.  They are really good kids... I have no idea where they get it from though :D

[Jezzebelle]

Here ya go.... sideways smile in all it's glory LOL

[Jezzebelle]

Thank you guys <3  Sometimes it's hard to keep things like in perspective for things like school pictures, LOL.  but overall I love all the wonky qualities about my kids

Really poor taste. -1 if I had the ability to do that yet.

As another expecting mom on this forum, I agree.  Extremely poor taste.

I got it, Garja. Ignore Shin, but I am sure you know that from ATT. He's just a troll.

I already did it, but I did it again just for you.

Cute! She looks like she might be about to speak in Pirate.

[Game]

My sweet little daughter has apparently misunderstood the whole teen thing - you're supposed that in your teen years, not teen months :)

[urs]

Game. You're in trouble.
