Yeah, I looked at the website for Sit Means Sit - as soon as I saw the words "electronic collar", I was immediately turned off. I don't know what all is involved with that, but I don't like the sound of it! I'll pm 'ya about those printouts. Thanks!

^^^^ Thanks, Jodi.... I appreciate the thought!

Thanks for all the good advice! They're actually doing very well with the "potty-training" part. We take them out every hour, and they "go" every time. We found that it worked MUCH better by taking them out one at a time - this way, the one trying to go isn't getting effed with by the other one! haha. After they've both gone, then we let the first one back out so they can play. We do have a very big yard, so there's def no shortage on room for them to run... those little effers are fast!!! My main thing is the behavioral part. I completely understand that they're just babies, and it's totally natural for them to be little hoodlums. I just want to get a handle on things right away, while they're still young. I think I should have worded things differently... I'm not looking for someone to train them FOR me. I was thinking along the lines of obedience classes, instead. I did a little searching online and found some places that looked pretty good. Not sure which concept might be better, though.... take them to a class at the park with other dogs, or take the option of having the person come to the house and work with them here. Seems like quite a few of the places I looked at give you both of those choices. I was mainly trying to find out if anyone here on the board has used any of these places to work with their dog, and how their experience was. I am going to look into that Vegas Valley Obedience Club now, as well (thanks Skyz). Once again, THANKS for everyone's input. As for the pics... the recent ones are still on the camera, but here's a few crappy cel pics from right after we got them. They're already 2 1/2 times this size! The one on the left is Walter - the one on the right is Tiger.

FYI - the ltz/kfx 400 DOES have the same bolt pattern as Honda. Just lettin' ya know.

eh, I dunno.... if those are 35's, I think that lift is more than 6.

So here's the deal..... My wife and my son have been bugging the crap out of me, for the last couple of years, to get a dog. Don't get the wrong idea... I love animals - I had a LOT of pets growing up (dogs, cats, birds, etc), it's just that being the "clean-freak" that I am, I was reluctant. A couple of moths ago, I was out of town for work and my wife calls. She says a friend from work has an 8 week old Whippet puppy that she needs to find a good home for, and she wants him. Being that I really DID want a dog, too (and I like that particular breed), I said it was ok with me. The next day, my wife goes over to her friend's house to pick him up. While she's there, she sends me a pic of him.... who could resist that face! lol. Then, AFTER she gets back home, she sends me a pic of the other one.... she decided to bring his brother home, too! ugh!!!! So now I have two, 4 month old MALE puppies in the house. I love these little guys to death, but they're driving me crazy!!! I need to get them trained by yesterday! lol. I'm not looking for any hard-azz, hard-core, super-strict kind of crap.... I just want them to be happy, well-behaved dogs, who don't :poop: all over my house! hahaha. So if anyone has any recommendations of places to call, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.

That truck that you said yours is gonna look like..... does it belong to a friend of yours? I'm wondering if you know what size those tires are, and how much lift it has. With the exception of the wheel off-set, I REALLY like the stance of that truck.

I'm pretty glad I stumbled onto this thread. I was just thinking about this yesterday - how I needed to start my "project" of looking into an extended warranty for my truck. I have a very bad habit of not keeping vehicles very long, so I'm def not well informed on this subject. I didn't even consider buying one with the truck because I didn't plan on keeping it for more than 3 yrs. Well.... the factory warranty is up in October, and I love my truck, so now I'm thinking about warranties. If anyone else has any more input on this, I would also like to hear it. If it helps any... I have an '06 F150 with 16k miles. Sorry, Cole... not trying to hi-jack your thread. If you find anything good, could you let me know?? Thanks.

Sounds like a plan! I'll get a hold of 'ya before the end of the week.

I'm looking to go out this weekend if there's gonna be someone to ride with. Wife is gonna be out of town and I have'nt made it out to Dumont at all this season - gotta get my azz out there before it gets too hot! Checking out the races for a while would be cool, but I'm def more interested in going out there to RIDE.

^^^ damn, should've paid attention to Pete's post..... I really CAN come up with my own thoughts!

That's fuggin hilarious!!!

I was thinkin' the same thing! :angry2:

:angry2: No comment!

Done. This crap never ends! :angry2:

Looks like dunefreak and I had the same idea! First pics were just before 5pm - last one was at 9:30.

Thanks, Craig. I checked ebay, but didn't look at craigslist. I'm thinkin' you're probably right, Nick. Gonna just grab another one and deal with mine later... then I'll have a spare! Thanks. - Got it handled... I'm getting that shock from raptoroy. Thanks DDR!!

AMEN!!!! Backspin and Howard Stern were the only reasons I have Sirius - as much as I like Howard, I'm not listening to talk ALL day long! BOOOO!!!

anyone???

Figured I'd give this a shot.... I was wondering if anyone here on the board has upgraded the suspension on their Raptor 700, and still has the stock rear shock laying around in the garage. The shock on my bike is blown, and it would be much easier to just grab another one, rather than deal with the hassle of having mine rebuilt. If you have one, and would be willing to sell it for a REASONABLE amount.... let me know! Thanks.

Dammit Craig, quit puting ideas in my head! SWEET bike!

Hi Tiff! I agree, gonna be a GREAT trip. See you next weekend!

No problem, glad I could help you out.

GOOD TIMES for sure! We did'nt even make the decision to go until that morning, but I'm glad we did. Sometimes those spontaneous trips turn out to be the best! It was great seeing everyone... the usual suspects, the ones I had'nt seen in a long time, and got a chance to meet some new peeps as well. Thanks to everyone for making it a GREAT time as always!
