| At random: In 1921, a United States submarine, the R-14, having run out of fuel at sea while looking for the missing tug USS Conestoga, rigged sails from blankets and hammocks sewn together. Bunk frames were used for yardarms and booms. The torpedo loading king post for a fore mast, the torpedo loading boom for a mizzen mast and the telescoping radio mast, for the main mast. The R-14 sailed 100 miles in five days to the port of Hilo, T.H. at a speed of two knots. It has been reported in March 2016 that the Conestoga has been located 3 miles off Southeast Farallon Island, probably sinking with-in a day of leaving port. All hands lost. |

COMSUBBBS Posts: 2561 Location: Rapid City, SD | Subject: B-a-a-d Day at Black Rock! (NSR) I took Gracie to the Beauty Shop (the doggie one) today, for her first 'grooming' since we've been a team. I was 'sposed to pick her up in two hours. When I went back after her, the 'groomer' told me that she was running into some difficulties because Gracie had quite a few tangles, and that it would take another hour at least. I went shopping. When I returned at the (2nd) appointed time, the 'groomer' had clipped an 'elbow' and made it bleed; she had cut one toenail too close, and that was bleeding profusely; and she had clipped Gracie's tongue. Yeah - her tongue! If you've ever had a child who has bitten their tongue, you know what a marvelous blood supply tongues have. The 'groomer' tried to staunch the blood flow, without a whole lot of success. While we were heading home, I stopped about two blocks from the "Shaggy Wag," and called my vet (veterinarian). No doctors were in today, but the vet tech told me that if she didn't stop bleeding in another hour, I should bring her in. After we got home, Gracie kept licking her foot - the one with the too-close clip - and there was blood both on that foot and all over her face. So I took her to see the tech. The tech determined that the toenail wasn't bleeding, but Gracie was keeping the tongue bleeding by continually licking her owie foot. I don't know for sure what she did, I was told to stay in the waiting room because my little Maltese is definitely a "hyper" puppy, and they thought she might settle down better without my sympathetic presence. I brought her home again, and gave her ice cubes to lick. Everything seems a-ok at the present time. The 'groomer' didn't charge for her services. Ask me if she's going back to the "Shaggy Wag." Not Poor baby.   Cora Edited by Corabelle 2008-03-07 8:08 PM | ||

(NSR) At the risk of having to explain the pun to the youngsters hereabouts, that's a shaggy dog story if I ever heard one!  I'll bet that you couldn't take the dog back there even if you wanted to -- dogs do have long memories! Edited by SOB490 2008-03-08 6:27 AM | ||

Right now, we are both trying to ease back into life around here, taking it one step at a time, keeping every extremity crossed, praying that no more surgery will be needed. So, we will see. | ||
