Reporting in

I know what you mean. We usually go out through the laundry room into the garage. There is no trim along the knob side of the door from the laundry room to the garage. Charlie destroyed it trying to go where he last saw Mommy go during a storm that came up while I was gone one day. Now, I check the weather forecast and plan my shopping accordingly. If there's bad weather and I need to go pick up/drop off a child, the hairy boy gets to ride along. ("ride in the car" offsets "bad noise from the sky.") If I really need to be gone, someplace he can't go, and I know there's a chance of weather, I call Gramma and see if he can go over there so he won't be alone. ;) DMIL is great about that. And her yard has SQUIRRELS!!!!!!!! (isn't that pathetic that I am willing to do all that for my dog? lol he really is one of my children.....)

Whoo hoo!!!!!!!!! New toy!!!! I'm so glad you will be able to dedicate one machine to embroidery designs. That's great. You do such a beautiful job with that stuff. Having that computer just for that is definitely a tool you needed. ;)

From now on with all that wiredness going on at your place, I will expect email answers from you at the speed of instant messages. ;)

I once accidentally left Ming Tu in the master bathroom ( he had gone in there and closed the door) while I was out shopping, Came home to one desperate dog and a door with major damage all along the bottom 6".

Indeed. My current main computer, a Pentium II, was brand new in 2000. :-} I have added memory, 500GB harddrive, a wireless network card, better audio card and speakers, graphics card, flat-screen monitor, a DVD RW drive, a 2.0 USB port, etc. But there reaches a limit as to how much money it's wise to invest in an older machine. The new one is WHIZ-BANG! ;-)

I actually bought the laptop for the embroidery machine when I set it up in 2005, but the Singer Quantum XL 5000 requires a serial port for design transfer and the laptop has only USB ports. I found a USB-to-serial adaptor but it has not been an entirely successful work around. The older Gateway has native serial ports and will take up residence in the embroidery room. It's not as fast but will be fine for the digitizing software. And the laptop will mostly live in the kitchen/living room and go on vacation with me. ;-)

Yes Ma'am!

And then there's Cooper. Likes to get into the linen closet and sleep in the dirty laundry basket. Gets himself closed in there at least twice a month and at least one of those times, Mama freaks out, thinking he's managed to squeeze out through the fence, or that somebody has left a gate open. Mama runs around, calling frantically, checks gates, fencing, laundry room and, finally linen closet. Terrier blinks sleepily from amidst the damp and dirty towels, licks his chops, then inquires as to when supper might be expected.

I spent all day looking for a cat once. It was IN the ironing pile, tip of tail only was showing when I found it... In the airing cupboard, so behind a closet door AND a sliding door.

I also found that one in Alan's sock drawer... We had a built-in chest of drawers, which had a gap behind it. Mog would squeeze into the gap and shove the drawer open, then burrow into the socks.
