Meet Herbie Girl, today's Puppy of the Day!

[Kristen&Bailey]

So, please, for my own peace of mind, PLEASE remain the nice, normal lady that you seem to be, OK? I sure would appreciate it!

This is actually Herbie's dad. (right? lol)

[Phyrie]

Erf, sorry!! Nice man, very nice man!

[Herbie Girl]

You know, ever since this started and everyone jumped to your defence, I've had the strangest worry that YOU might turn out to be the fake! Must be from raising a son who could lie bald-faced with genuine tears, making us feel terrible about the accusation, and then we'd find out later he was lying. So, please, for my own peace of mind, PLEASE remain the nice, normal lady that you seem to be, OK? I sure would appreciate it!

That's hilarious.. the thought of making a joke like that did cross my mind, but I figured I'm already on thin ice being involved in all this drama from the get-go, and it probably wouldn't have gone over very well. But I swear on Herbie's life I'm not the scammer!

I hate to break it to you though.. I'm not a nice, normal lady. I'm a nice, normal guy- Sam as in Samuel, not Samantha. I know, it's probably not typical for the guy in a relationship to be so smitten over puppies, but I'm the one who always wanted a Corgi, and it took an act of Congress to convince my wife that we should get one. She never cared for dogs, but after a few weeks of owning Herbie she's head over heels in love. It is kinda funny that I'm the one who has to be constantly restrained by my wife to not buy another goofy outfit for the dog.. but I'm a complete softy for little fuzzy animals.

My wife did sign up on Sunday as "Herbie's Mommy" (I think) to post some comments, but she probably won't be around much.

edit: Yep, Herbie's dad. I'll have to add some photos to our gallery of my wife and I holding our little "practice kid" as we call her.

Phyrie, you make me laugh.

Hi herbie's mommy and daddy. I'm glad you were able to get past this nonsense. Unfortunately school holidays are the bane of DP life but at least if they are being creative and writing a fictitious dog's life story then they are not vandalising someone's property or being any other kind of nuisance. Anyway forest fires are much more worrying. Whereabouts are you?


Welcome to the DP from Tracy and Loki and Idun the deerhounds and not forgetting Libby the CKCS in North Devon, England.

Deb, what an appropriate name for a Pembroke Welsh Corgi, Taffy being a slang name for someone from Wales.

[Phyrie]

I am sorry for the assumption, Sam. My husband is just as infatuated with Kiba as you are Herbie, so no worries. The main reason for the assumption is there simply isn't that many men posting here on the forums. We are glad to have you, if only for that reason! A manly point of view is a valuable commodity around here. Just ask Richard! LOL!

OT: Tracy, always pleased to amuse.

[Herbie Girl]

Anyway forest fires are much more worrying. Whereabouts are you?

Colorado, between Denver and Boulder. The fire burning right now is about 12 miles away and we're in no danger, but there are 40-60 mph hour winds that are really fouling things up. March is usually cold and snowy, but it was in the mid 70s yesterday, with a whopping 8% humidity. Definitely not typical for March, and not boding well for the massive tinderbox sitting a few miles to the west.

[Deerie me]

Ooh scary. I suppose you get used to it. We have a thread on where members live. I know nothing about Colorado. *hint*

[lucky&babesmom]

Welcome to DP from Brenda and her furbabies Lucky, Autumn and Trixie from Illinois.

This has been an entertaining post to read ,sorry for all the problems you had at first and Phyrie ROFL but you are right we don't have many guys brave enough to post.

[Herbie Girl]

Yikes. I don't know if I should be happy or run away!

[Deerie me]

Please don't run away. We can all be well behaved when required. Actually not all of us (PHYRIE) but most of us.

[Phyrie]

(BITCH) Oops, did I do that?! Heh heh heh...

[Deerie me]

[Herbie Girl]

I figured this would be the one forum where "bitch" is used as an everyday word (referring to female dogs, of course). Have to admit, I still giggle like a 3rd grader every time the little old ladies at the dog show talk about their bitches.

Ahem..

[Phyrie]

Yeah, that's EXACTLY how I meant it. Hur hur...

And we also now know something else about you: you are probably under 50 years old, since you could read the "tiny" font. Not all of us can, at least not without CTRL-+, anyway.

Damn, you're good! I'm 32.
