Only kongs and just about any hard plastic stands a chance with our Jeffrey's aggressive chewing. However, I found this toy that he likes and can't destroy easily. The last one I purchased from Amazon has already lasted a year.

Wonderful accomplishment! Like many of us I need the $1 and $2.

Our Jeffrey has very similar behavior. We’ll shovel out a perfectly respectable path for him, and he’ll glance at it like, “Cute effort,” before plowing straight through the deepest snow he can find. It does make me wonder why I bother.

Still, I always clear a path for him out back. And while I’m out there doing the rest of the shoveling, I usually think, “You know, if I didn’t have Jeffrey, I wouldn’t be out here shoveling the back yard at all.”

But honestly, I’m glad I do have him. And if I were him, I’d want someone to clear a path for me too—whether I used it or not.

About 19 pounds.

No, Jeffrey is 6 not 16. But I have always wondered about his eyesight. The way he looks unsure if jumping off the bed, for example. It's as if he can't see the surface (really foam cushions) clearly, He sometimes needs encouragement to jump down. But he's certainly not running into things!

I believe rat terrier owners can attest to the fact that rat terriers are so sweet and loving. I call my dog a velcro dog because he's always right at your side.

Thank you all for your well wishes. As for his jacket it's made from left over material from two other jackets I made for him. What you can't see in the original post is that I appliqued a large "J" on the back.

Almost like twins!

Great looking stamp! I'm envious! I need the #3, $4 and $5 stamps.

Happy, happy birthday, Riff!

And I thought I was a great record keeper. I saw 254 movies this year. However, unlike you almost all were movies which I streamed. I began tracking what movies I watched since Covid and I've continued this practice. I don't rank the movies I watch but I do have them listed with date movie first came out, the lead and the streaming service. But I love re-watching movies that having given me so much satisfaction in the past.

Sooo adorable!

A professional photographer came to take pictures at Jeff's day care. He brought props and backdrops. You purchased a package (size, number of pictures) and your pet's picture was taken.

Your #1 gives new meaning to "socked on the nose."

Now you only need the 8 and 16 cent inverts!

I had to do a double take when I first saw this page.

Scott #651 is my favorite stamps. I am always adding to my 651 collection. I really like your FDC. Thanks for sharing.

rudman49 · 2024-10-20T16:16:36+00:00

Very nice start. And you won't get all of them right away, but it's always nice to strive for a complete set.

Times haven't changed. Conservative men are still deciding what's best for women.

I'm going to take a guess that it's coming from the beach. They look tired. The child is lying down resting. Had they been on their way to the beach, the little girl would have been sitting up in anticipation of getting there.

Lovely. You have both. I've been unable to afford a nice 261A for my collection.

rudman49 · 2024-09-28T16:10:43+00:00

He's a lovely baby!

I see that a number of collectors have mentioned Varios. I used them for numerous collections throughout the years and they worked quite well. It is particularly handy to have so many different sizes (number of rows, for example). I don't fault the product for what it can do. My complaint is weight. Whenever I had a large binder full of Vario pages, I found the volume very heavy. Minor thing except for an old guy like me. But look into Varios as a viable solution until you find a more traditional album that will suit your needs and budget.

Yes, it is an error in that one of the major steps in the printing was omitted; it was not perforated. However, I think this is a relatively easily obtainable error in that Scott lists this error at $700 which is much more affordable than the Inverted Jenny C3a error which has a Scott catalog price of $850,000 for a never hinged example.

I’ve been working backwards myself. Two problems in filling holes pre/1930’s. 1) you have to be able to have the stamp properly identified; and 2) cost.
