What should matcom get the lovely Mrs.Matcom for her birthday?

[Midlodemocrat]

It's too late for her to not marry him, so she's pretty much stuck, but shouldn't he get her something SHE really wants? :shrug:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

1. I've gotta say go with the Greyhound provided it's a racing dog.

Saving a life is a great gift.

[Midlodemocrat]

Yoohoo, matcom! Over here!!!!

Notes:
Nicknames for this fun-loving Australian city include “Bris Vegas” and “Brisneyland” – making this a moniker that is entirely fitting for this fun-loving, handsome boy! And of course, this has only become more and more the case as he settles in - he LOVES stuffies and can often be found blissfully squeaking away on his favorite toy - a pineapple toy. He’s easy to get along with (including even those of the feline persuasion) and is an absolute joy to have around.

Overall, what a GOOD boy he is!

Brisbane is so calm in the crate that it's hard to believe he came in less than a week ago. His favorite part is the bedding, which he likes to rearrange so that it's at maximum comfort level for whatever position he happens to be in at that moment. This model greyhound sleeps perfectly through the night by himself and has mastered the stairs in record time.

Out on walks he's a total social butterfly, with a sniff and an immense tail wag for everyone (human and canine). He's always very happy on walks; even through the hard rain we had one morning he just kept on, completely unfazed by the downpour.

He recently met a cat and showed a little interest but no aggression - Brisbane should be just fine with any felines with whom he's properly introduced.

Envisioning a happily ever after with this handsome boy? Apply today for your chance!

31. you are NOT HELPING!!

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

32. I think Mrs. Matcom needs to see this thread.

I'm sure Midlodemocrat would agree.

[matcom]

i have her currently scrubbing the kitchen floor

to 'keep her mind off DU'

she seems very content on her hands and knees

[LeftyMom]

33. .

[matcom]

34. oooooooo EVIL!!

:rofl:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

35. That was a wonderful suggestion from LeftyMom.

Mrs. Matcom has been PMed. When she's done scrubbing the kitchen barefoot, she should check her PM.

[matcom]

37. i will pass that along however....

next on her list is changing the oil on the scooter so i'm not sure how long that will take her

[Mrs.Matcom]

48. THANK YOU

for the post, I will be looking into this very seriously!!!! :*

[BarenakedLady]

41. Hey

My mom's neighbor's mom (are you following?) runs a greyhound rescue. They are in RI or at least in NE, I'm just sayin'....

[GOPisEvil]

42. See post 33 for the link to pass that info on to Mrs. Matcom.

She'll appreciate it. Promise. :)

[GOPisEvil]

36. Fly me up to Boston.

;)

[matcom]

38. what for?

certainly you can send your holy socks up here via FedEx and she can have them darned and returned to you before the weekend!

:shrug:

[GOPisEvil]

39. Well, er, let's just say some things are better in person.

Holy socks, for example. :7

[Mrs.Matcom]

44. OOOOOOOH Baby

All that time spent with the manbox... Oh well. His loss! :D

[Mrs.Matcom]

[SOteric]

40. Just one night with Bobo?

I was thinking matcom should hire him on as a pool boy for Mrs.M, - at an extravagant rate of pay.


Pool optional.

:7

[Mrs.Matcom]

46. I'm game

he can be my bathtub boy! I really need a good tub scrubbing, not me, but the actual tub!!! :hi:

[SOteric]

50. I'm sure you do if matcom's been washing his feet in that thing.

But I'm not sure whether DS1's delicate sensibilities can handle the aroma...






Heee! "delicate sensibilities" - I slay me.

[Mrs.Matcom]

53. BWAHAHAHA

you slay me too!!! I would never make the 'sweet boo boo' scrub my tub! I don't have a hazmat suit available!!!

[matcom]

54. that's not the ONLY appendage i've been washing in that thing!

Bobo! MORE BUBBLE BATH!

STAT!!

[Mrs.Matcom]

55. EWWWWWWW!

I am now going to have to hose him off in the back yard!!!! :puke:

[Arugula Latte]

49. I know! ... CAPRIS!

She'll have that Audrey Hepburn look. Little skinny black capris are IN. The Gap told me so! :woohoo:

[Mrs.Matcom]

56. Only if matcom

[Arugula Latte]

57. Well, does he have the gams fer 'em?

}(

[Mrs.Matcom]

60. Oh my Yes he does

Long lean gams!!! we also refer to them as chicken legs!!! :D

[Arugula Latte]

61. Buk Buk Buk BRAAAK!
