What does food run you a month? :-)Nancy L. Green December 02, 2012
Must be lots of fun cleaning up the yard!!! Wonderful capture dear friend, I LOVE your sense of humor!!! <>< #10447222Laura E. Swan December 02, 2012
I think I bit off more than I can chew rescuing old REX from the inhumane society a few days back.He is eating me out of house and home. Oh wait. Right. He ate the house, too! But I do have a nice tent I live in now and REX hates the smell of mosquito repellent so I just keep spraying it all over the tent and my sleeping bag. (And me). SO FAR SO GOOD.
I'm sure things will calm down soon and all will be fine.
HEY! What was that blood curdling scream??? REX! NO! STOP! (That silly dog just loves chasing the postman. Glad it's a young fellow. Good runner that one!)
Now, to order more trees for the yard. Let me see.......

Only you, Swanee!!!Reynaldo D. Reyes December 02, 2012
I'll definitely have second thoughts about petting Rex and I'd better find a bone for a treat, a really big bone! Awesome capture, love the way it towers in the sky. Excellent work Laura. #10447850Nadia Paul December 03, 2012
Well he definitely is cute - BUT - needs to go to doggy training! Fun capture with great light and detail Laura! #10447999Mary K. Robison December 03, 2012
Pommy, you need to hire the Dog Whisperer to bring Rex's roar down to a manageable level. However, that won't keep the mailman, et. al., from screeching their lungs out as they set a new record for running a mile...Laura E. Swan December 03, 2012
Doozie Dotes here! Hi Gang. Gosh I slept like a log last night.I don't mean that I slept well, I mean that I had to pretend I was a log so Rex wouldn't see me. He seems to be turning on me a tiny bit. Thank goodness for brown clothing and woodsy perfumes. (And that insect repellant!)
I am so happy for your notes of advice here and I am going to rent a 63 foot long flat bed truck today and this puppy is going to obedience school. No more of this bad attitude nonsense. Not with any dog of mine!!! No bones about it except that big bone Rey was talking about. We live in Alberta. An area with one of the largest dinosaur finds in the world and I had a few bones excavated yesterday.
Yippeeeeeeee! We are making headway.
Rex seems happy this morning. I cant even hear him.
Uh oh. Wait. He's gone. I better call the fire department again. Little Rex doesn't mean to but he takes down electrical wires when he leaves the yard and it gets tricky with the neighbors when the wires dangle in their yards.
I will keep the generator going so I can keep reading your handy notes.
Thanks everyone!!!!!!!!!!
Have a great day!!! Ha!

Can we borrow him for the Rex Parade next Mardi Gras down in N'Awlins?? As you must realize, it is the most respected and prestigious parades in New Orleans society! Don't respect this Rex, and it's the LAST thing you do! #10449122Mary K. Robison December 04, 2012
It's 7 AM, Doozie-Pom, so I won't be spilling any bons mots this morning...Just a reminder to wear rubber-soled boots when Rex is out amusing himself by trashing the electrical wires. Rain is NOT your friend at that time!Kirsten Kiki Kjaer December 04, 2012
Oh, Sister. Giggle Giggle Laughing of loud!! You are so funny.Now I'm looking into the future. Let me see... yes - I see GOLD!!! #10450494
Laura E. Swan December 04, 2012
You guys are so fun :) I have some bad news.Rex is missing. His tracks were easy to see until he left the grassy areas and hit the highway heading east towards The Drumheller Badlands.
I hired 200 people yesterday to look for him out there in the badlands. It's nothing like the Canadian Rockies that are plush and green. Why in the WORLD would REX want to go there???
Here is the footage. At the end of this tape that one of the 200 people took, to my shock, see something very very odd. Does REX know something we don't know???

What a great story and fun read!! :) #10451316Laura L. Gonzales December 04, 2012
Hey Emmy, I think Rex met up with my Big Red Dog Clifford!! I think the both of them are hanging out at the new dog park at the "Giants" stadium! Hee hee :) Hope the come back soon, Clifford has 60 lbs of kibble waiting!! And thats just a snack lol! #10451400Mary K. Robison December 04, 2012
"The Dinosaur Capital of North America" ~ how cool is that?!?!(And not just because it's in a cave!)Laura E. Swan December 04, 2012
Oh, Laura Lee. I'm so sorry to hear Clifford has taken an adventure, too. Maybe they are indeed paling around?Hmmmmmmmm...the Giants stadium! Makes sense!

o.k.....now that I spent the last umpteen minutes reading this blog and cracking up all the way......Laura you have to write a book......or do stand up comedy....or maybe you do already! Bring Rexie along when you find him....I'm sure he'll be a crowd pleaser....have a glorious day, Canada Kin.....Hugs #10454474Laura E. Swan December 07, 2012
Hi Patricia! I do love BP so much and it's because of the people!It's good for us to ham it up. Life can be just so serious otherwise. :)
You come on back any time you need a good laugh. Many of my thread are hilarious and it's the BPers who get crazy at times. Ahahahahahaha! :))))))
Come on back to Canada. I'd sure love to meet you.
-Laura :D

Laura E. Swan December 16, 2012
Mr Treeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Where have you been? I've missed you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!You know, REX was pretty nice to the trees. It was the house he demolished. Darn it all anyway...
HOWEVER he chewed off all of the tree-tops. Don't get near him or you might be in the market for a tree toupee. (So they even make them?) hmmmmm......
Oh wait..."Top a tree and watch it fill out at the bottom". You'd be looking at weight gain. Ha!
-Miss Rose #10466545
Laura E. Swan December 16, 2012
I know. It's just not natural. I am glad he found his Mama. I didn't want to tell you but I did have to buy a whole bunch more trees. It was not a pretty picture after REX living here for only a week. #10466607Lydia Williams December 19, 2012
Love your puppy, Laura! What a great protector...I am still slacking here...unable to do much so as not to aggravate any galls! :) See surgeon tomorrow....need to get back to bp! #10471000Laura E. Swan December 19, 2012
Lydia! So good to see you. I saw the surgeon YESTERDAY! What a group hey??? Lol...I had oral surgery and am sitting here with Gauze in my mouth. Sure glad REX has found his REAL home now...The smell of human blood seemed to spark his interest a bit! HAHAHAHAHAHA!I have thought of you so many times. Please do exactly as your "Gall" Darned Dr's say! Ha! :))) Promise me? Or Santa's Elves will be taking notes. Just ask Wm! :)))
-Love, Sister Laura :D xo #10471004

Hi Everyone! This adventure was so fun and I am grateful I didn't have to go through it ALONE with my dog REX. he was a handful!
Lydia- Listen to Wm on the elf's. It;s no word of a lie!

Thanks Chrissy! HeeHee

Irene - He's great at shoveling snow..or was that digging ditches?? I will send him your way if I ever see him again okay?? I know you need a hand down there.

Jill be sure your hubby see's this one. (But be sure he doesn't head to the pet store afterwards....as there was only ONE T-Rex dog. I suspect the T-stood for thunder. Read this thread for the rest of the story! Lol!)

Hi Ladies! I think ALL the REX's of the world are doing the happy dance. Word travels fast in their world. One pounds it's foot 3 times and then they all do down the line.THAT BEING SAID if you feel shaking and rumbling like that you MIGHT be living on the CALIFORNIA FAULT LIKE as well! Two out of four of you that commented MIGHT BE! HeeHee!!!
Thanks so much! Great seeing you all!

Oh Laura Lou Lou, big congratulations on making a finalist with your gorgeous pet Rex, even Freddy Flinstone would be proud to own him!! I love that the judges have picked him to be in the finals, and here's hoping for gold!!! #11097374Robert R. Goodman August 03, 2014
Big Congratulations on your beautiful finalist my friend!!!! #11100263Laura E. Swan August 03, 2014
I was so thrilled that Rexy got a FINALIST. It does show that the judges have a sense of humor. Either that or they really thought we have dinosaurs here in Canada, (for pets!)
We DO have dinosaurs here and I live in an Igloo, so don't get that wrong!
Okay see you great folks later. My dog sled needs oiling! I only need one dog. Guess who?
:D
Great fun and Thank You Again!
