Yea..He will grow out of it for the most part, but as I said, my dog is 2 and still likes to just pick up whatever he feels like and put it in his mouth. You can do some simple training things, like when he has something bad, teach him to drop it, and then give him one of his toys. We did that, but we weren't consistant, which is why although he's much better then he was as a pup, he still does it :-) Just this morning I saw him messing with the cat and then all of a sudden he was chewing something, So I go chasing him around and here he had an inspection sticker from something (no idea what). the cat must have been playing with it and it took it from her..LOL And he is a 73lb, 2 y/o Lab. Somethings, you learn to live with!! LOL Good luck though. I'm glad your pup is feeling better :-)

Well if he has been eating it all this time...I can't see why it would affect him like that now. Since he is a young puppy, is it possible he ate something else he shouldn't have? Those things def happen! My dog is 2 and he still picks things up off the ground and starts chomping away... But as a puppy he was much worse. Another thing could be, is he eating too fast? If he's eating too fast and not really chewing, just swallowing, the food will sit in his stomach and make him sick. My Dog can only eat large Breed dog food because of that reason. If we buy the regular size food, he will not even chew it and throw it all up. You will have everyone telling you what the "best" dog food is and what is oh so horrible, but I think you need to go with what your dogs likes. And what fits your budget as well. My Dog is on Science Diet lamb & Rice Large breed. But we went through all kinds of different food, until we found this one. Plus as an added bonus to me, he has food allergies and this food doesn't affect him too much as far as his allergies go. Good luck with your puppy, and if he keeps throwing up, I would just make a Vet appt just to get to the bottom of it :-)

Gets on my last nerve! hahaha..I feel you on that!! I swear my FI will be so quiet during the commercials, but he finds something to ask me right when my show starts!! It never fails :-) Lucky for me, FI is in a bowling league on Monday nights, so he is out of my hair for most of the episode. He gets in about 9ish and then we usually start arguing because he thinks he's gonna come home and turn on Wrestling (monday night RAW) and then he gets a reality check when I tell him, "um, I don't think so...the bachelor is on until 10..you can have watch it then :-) The previews make him look really aggravated through the whole Parent-meeting experience. I hope they go better then the preview make it out to. At least some of them!! lol

Wait...we have to write a letter for Customs on our stuff?? I didn't hear about that...do you have any more info?

I'm going with Roberta as well!! She has been awesome so far..I am sending in my payment in a couple weeks and i can't wait to see what my flowers are going to look like! I have complete confidence in her Glad to see s many other girls going with Plumerias as well

Thanks for the Advice everyone!! I figured June was too hot for pashminas, but I was secretly hoping someone would say, "Omg, it gets sooo cool at night!!" LOL And I think Koozies it is!! i already made my design anyway, I just have to order Thanks!

They could have an upper respitory(sp?) infection. If that's the case then the Vet will ust give you meds. Or it could be hairballs. As long as you have your Appt. at the Vet and they are eating, drinking and going to the Bathroom, they should be ok

Ok Dreams Cancun Brides (And Brides to be)...I need advice on 2 things... One (I already asked this, but didn't get a response so I am trying again :-) lol) Would it be a waste for me to get Pashminas for a June Wedding? Does anyone know if it still gets cool at night that time of year in Mexico? and Second....For those who already got married at Dream Cancun..Can you give me your honest opionion on what would be more useful...personalized Cups...or Koozies?? A part of me wants to order the cups..But I have beer drinkers, so do they serve the beer in Bottles? In that case the Koozies would come in handy, right? I thought about using another girls Idea and getting plain cups, and putting Mini Sharpies with them so everyone can personalize themselves. If I did that, I was also going to get the Koozies for the cups with our logo on it....But I'm not sure... :-( Help!

I LOVE the earrings!! I already got the Necklace from Kohls (Who by the way are selling this necklace for $10 right now)..but I haven't seen the earrings..they are really cute. Thanks!!!

I just sent them an e-mail as well...I'm really excited about this. I think it will be a nice addition to my OOT bags :-) I'm just not sure what i am going to do about sizes....I don't really feel like calling everyone for shoe sizes..I'd rather it be a complete surprise, ya know?

Ooh, I was wondering if the Quality was nice...The chain made it look a little ify...But I took a chance :-) I'm so happy now! :-) I will def go get some Jewlrey boxes. Thanks

I have been watching them for a while..LOL After X-mas they were buy one get one free, but this is a better deal...and actually..even though the website says $11.99...they showed up as $10.79 on my order..so even better! :-)

How are the nights, Weather Wise, in June?? I would LOVE to order Pashminas...And I still may..But I am just wondering if it even gets cool on June nights :-)

I emailed them with all the info to return one of the packages and they promptly emailed back telling me that they had credited my card and to just keep the extra bags and donate them to a charity! I thought that was amazing customer service!!! A also used the amazing Sproullie Designs | Custom Photobooks, Invitations and more! for my monograms...I am sooooo happy with them!! I even re-designed my invites to incorporate one of the monograms on the front. They are so inexpensive but do take a while to get made. She emails them right to you. I know most BDW brides know all this but it was a great find on here that maybe someone didn't know about!! Last and definately not least was Party Flops for my amazing personalized flip flop favors! I love love love them! and can't wait to give them to my guests in Jamaica. This company had great communication and paid attention to every detail of my order. You'll be so happy with the flip flops!! This is a Fabulous Idea!! I was just on their website though and I didnt see any prices. Would you mind telling me how much they ran? I plan on e-mailing them ASAP :-) I love this Idea! Thanks for all the Websites ladies! I really wanna order pashminas, however, I'm not sure how cool it gets in the evening in Mexico near the end of June!!! We'll see though. And I may have to order chair sashes as well , I think Dreams Charges $3 per chair!! Thanks again!!

Hey ladies, I just wanted to let you know that Kohls is having a sale and their Starfish Necklaces are $11.99 right now...Originally they are $27.99!!!! I just bought 4 for my BM's. Here is the link...Happy Shopping..... apt. 9 Sterling Silver Starfish Pendant

But I think not meeting her family will not be good. I like Naomi too but I was super shocked about what she said regarding her mother. I'm pretty sure that's why he pulled her aside right before the ceremony. And honestly I'm not sure if she's really ready for his life... And for some reason I just don't see him with Jillian. I don't think she's "girly" enough for him, kwim? All I know is that I'm working next week. I have a trip Mon-Wed and I'm willing to trade for a Fri-Sun in order to see this show when it airs! People will think I'm crazy for working on a weekend but I don't care! In fact, I'm going to work on that trade right now!!!! You are too funny!! You can always DVR it and catch up on thursday. AND you can fast forward through all the commercials! LOL I was thinking the same thing about Molly....She really walks around like he's going to be hers in the end...And she may be right, but it's not over yet! (Well actually it is..lol but not for her at thos point in the show :-) ) As far as the Melissa thing...If her family doesnt want all the publicity or whatever she was saying last night, then why doesn't Jason say, ok, we'll leave the show out of it? If this is suppose to be so real and he is looking for his wife, then tell the cameras to stay behind so he can meet his, Maybe, Future in-laws? Ya know?? I liked Naomi for one episode and that was last week. This week I remembered why I don't like her. She is definitely not for him!

I don't want to give any spoilers of tonights episode just yet...But all I have to say is...I was crying right along with them at the end!! But..He made the correct decision...in my opinion..LOL Umm..I'm a little confused though, because no word on the Deanna episode...WTF..is she gonna show up at the final 2? Could you imagine if she did that and he picked her?? and right now they are engaged That would be crazy! I hope not though, she doesn't deserve him.

Ya know...I thought about it this morning too!! LOL It makes my Mondays better. I am hoping this is the Epi with Deanna (Sp?) however..I think they would have promoted it more last week..So maybe next week? Either way, Can't wait! :-) I think Stephanie is gone this week :-( She is one of my Favs, but they are just not right together, which is a damn shame. Ah Well...Melissa is still in the running.

Well there's Blu Martini....Club Heat...And even Lucky Strike. I know that's a bowling Alley, but it's also a club and could be alot of funn. But also pricey!! If the weather is nice when your party is, you can head up Delaware Ave (AKA Columbus BLVD) and go to Cavannaughs Riverdeck...There is also Rock Lobster up there and probably more places that have opened since I was up there last :-) Good Luck

The only problem is, My handwriting Stinks...I'll have to recruit my sis! :-)

Thanks I am getting married 4 days after you...I actually arrive the Day of your wedding!! I also keep looking at the beach, but not for my Ceremony, more for the reception and the pictures look so awesome! But the wind is an Issue. I personally am going to play it by ear. I'll be there for 4 days before my Wedding so I'm just gonna see what the weather is like and how the wind situation is once I get down there. As much as I want it on the beach with the lighted Dance floor & Etc...I am thinking that maybe I'll just have it on the Lobby Terrace because the bar is right there. How do they work that one the beach, do the drinks get butlered?? that could take forever :-( But Again, I plan to play it by ear

I've also ordered all of my favors. (i will ship them to the hotel a day or 2 before i go there) I will make up OOT bags when i get there as well. We got the wedding package that includes the photog- don't think we're getting a videographer. we got the tech with the sound system for the ceremony and i think we're going to do the same for the reception as well. one bride said they just used the cd/ipod player from the room (but i don't want to be in charge of changing the songs- go i'm getting the tech. Still need my passport (yikes!!!) and the rings, but otherwise i think we're pretty much set (i hope) Are you a little nervous sending your favors ahead of time?? I really want to send my OOT bags and contents plus some other things, but I am sooo nervous that they will never make it :-( It is a really good idea though and can't wait to hear how you girls make out!! It would take alot of stress out of my packing!! Also, We applied for our Passports on 01/17/09 and we got them Exactly one week later on 01/24/09 :-) So I wouldn't be too scared about getting them, But since you only have 3 months, I would get a move on that!! LOL It's very painless. So far I have: Booked the Wedding & Our rooms Booking Flights tomorrow got our Passports Hired Cecilia Dumas as our Photographer Hired Plumerias Wedding Flower Boutique for our Bouquets Ordered most of the OOT contents and bags Bought Rafia fans from a BDW member Got my Dress Ordered & Received BM's Dress (VS 7 in 1 Convertable/Sour Cherry) 14 People booked so far, but we are expecting 25 total So much more to do!!! But this is the funn part I have been waiting for. I couldn't wait for the Holidays to be over so I can really get started. January has been a productive month, so far. Now there are only 2 things that I REALLY want, but right now aren't in the cards...Yet.... #1..For my Brother and His family to be able to come to Mexico :-( I really would love for ALL of my family to be in the Wedding and just be there...Especially his two kids, My Neices...However..his job isn't Stable at the moment...It;s still in the air, but chances are slim. :-( #2..For money to somehow magically appear so i can hire DJ Mannia and have my reception on the beach with the Illuminated Dance floor! LOL Everyone keeps say we are getting a Stimulus Check...I don't think we are and didn't hear anything about a check, just a plan...However..If we do...Then Barrack will have bought me my DJ!! Hahahahahahaha Can you tell I don't want to work today??

What was with Shannon saying she was going home to French Kiss her puppy? WTF?! My stepson was laughing so hard when she said that I had to pause the show lol OMG and was she really picking her nose with her tissue not only in front on Jason but on T.V. LOL I was cracking up! I am glad the three left that did. I don't see him and stephanie together, but I really like her!! My hope for the last two are Melissa and Naomi....Melissa FTW..LOL

I am so sorry you had to go through that. I feel your frustration..Although I just got my Dress this past weekend there and I had THE best Consultant. However..If not for her...I would have not been happy with my experience. The whole thing about needing a consultant to get a dressing room is so ridiculous. I went on Wednesday night, tried on about 18 dresses...I had it down to my top 2. They were closing so I chose to go home and think about it a couple days. I made an appt for Saturday at 2. Now, All I had to do was try on these same two dresses and make a choice...That's it. Saturdays are like a zoo in there and I realize that they were really busy, so we get there about an hour early and I said the the girl that I already tried on my dresses, I just need to Re-try my final 2 and decide. I said I realize i am early, but If I can just get a spare dressing room, I can be in and out in less then a half hour. She was like, sorry, you have to wait until your appt...All of the Dressing rooms are assigned to consultants. So I was bitching a little, not being obnoxious, but just bitching to my mom and step dad who were with me..and another girl who worked there, went over to her after hearing me and was like, are you sure there is nothing..Well, i guess not because there we were standing around. So after about a half hour, we were looking in the BM's section, Just wasting time and this girl comes up and says, DO you need help? So I explain to her that all I need is a dressing room and someone to find my dresses. My Consultant wrote all my style #'s and sizes on my card on wednesday, which I also tried to explain to this girl. Well she goes, I have a dressing room and I can help you. So we go over to the computer and she;s looking, and twice she asked what kind of BM's dress i was ordering and twice I told her I was the Bride. She is looking really confused now and says, well, why were you in the BM section? I don't do Bridal gowns..LOL So I tell her again, if you just pull my card, you can grab my two dresses for me and lead me to a room , and then you can go help someone else. Well, with that she goes I'll be right back and she walks away. 5 min later, she's helping someone else..WTF So I am steaming now...All I want is a room to try my stuff on and make my final decision. I guess I was being a little impatient since I did arrive earlier then my appointment, but it's not like I needed a consultant, I already picked two dresses!! Finally, just before 2...My Consultant (Her name is LAZ for anyone who is going to the DB in Deptford. She was so awesome!!!) came over to me and was like, i have your card, I'll get you set up. I was so relieved. I was literally 20 mins and most of that was getting the one dress tied up!! And as far as them not ordering one if they have it in stock, that is such Bull. I have been a bridesmaid more then a few times and each time we have gone there. And if one bridesmaid fits the one off the rack and the other needs to order one, they will tell you to just order them both so it's the same batch of Dye or something. So I think they were just being lazy!! Good luck with your dress decisions and it stinks that your experience was really bad! Oh and speaking of alterations..My mom got married a couple years ago and her wedding was in two weeks, She went to pick up her dress after they were supposedly done doing alterations on it and when she put it on, she saw that they never even started!!! Luckily they got it done in time...But that is crazy!! The only alteration I am going to need is getting a bussel (sp?) put in....thank god!! I like Davids, because they are affordable, and like I said in another post..For bigger girls, they are accomodating. Most stores, you can only try on Sample that are in a size 8 or smaller and you can't get the full effect if your bigger then that. Davids has all sizes. Even the Bridesmaids Dresses are affordable and pretty nice. So overall, the dresses themselves aren't bad, but I think they can be a little more accomodating to the customers that are spending lost of money in there. :-)

I like Melissa & Stephanie the most :-) I think Melissa is gorgeous and Stephanie just seems genuine. I love Jason and he is by far my fav bachelor
