 JK> And nothing hiding in the closet.. I mean it could happen (vbg)

But of course... Quite the real possibility, especially in the canine
mind... or feline, for that matter....  :)

 > One is bad enough, to be sure... ;)

 JK> That would be heaven it were just one (g).. once in a while though
 JK> Sophie gets fed up with vying for space at the bottom with mr. lummox
 JK> and jumps down onto her doggie bed.  My feet are happy :)

Finally a chance to stretch out... ;)  It can be bad enough just with
cats hogging the bed... ;)

 JK> No doubt.. but her belly is also spotched like a beagle :)  The vet

 JK> major mothering tendencies. Not sure what the vet meant, but she didn't
 JK> have time that day to explain.  

Overly protective, maybe...?  Mother-bear-ish...?

 JK> I have had vets come here since with 3
 JK> dogs the cost wasn't so different.  Now with two I may make the trip to
 JK> the vet's office. We'll see when they come due for shots, etc.

It reduces the hassle of gathering animals into crates (or barreling
around loose in the vehicle) in order to take them in...  We had one cat
that was so paranoid of the vet's office that it was just much simpler
to have the vet come here to do the cats' shots... We discovered the
local mobile vet somewhat by chance...  That was with the first wave of
them... the second wave we did take to the vet, but only when absolutely
needed... So far the new ones haven't been at all...

 JK> Doubt it.. they are going to be 4 this summer I believe :)  But who
 JK> knows. I've been surprised before. :)

Yeah... never know...  :)

 JK> haha.. well, we talked about it and we all think she might like a soft
 JK> doll.. have to find something at the pet store, or I'll make her one.
 
That could be interesting...  :)   Maybe she'd just snuggle with it... :)

 JK> Big families were norm back then... and so neat to grow up in.  And
 JK> lots of cousins to play with (grin)

We always had someone to play with...  even when there wasn't anyone
else around...  ;)

 >> We love eating this and used to eat it all the time in Korean

 >> ===Korean Bibimbaap Recipe===
 > Our favorite place used to have a great bibimbap... too bad it is long

 JK> Ours as well!!  Well, sometimes I go for beef short ribs (pounded
 JK> thin, split, marinated and sauteed).

Another (newer) favorite of ours is a beef short rib noodle soup... to
add to another old favorite, Man du Kok...
 
 >> Geez, now I want to make this for dinner tonight.. :)
 > And did you...?  Or didn't you have the ingredients available...  ;)

 JK> I did! And I had everything... but looking over that recipe I posted,
 JK> it didn't include any beef IIRC. I'll have to check it again, but
 JK> that's what I'm remembering from that post I made.  I included
 JK> marinated steak that I sauteed. The steak is marinated in soy sauce,
 JK> sesame oil, garlic and green onions for 20 minutes then sauteed.

Sounds pretty good...  :)

 JK> Now I'll have to dig up that beef short ribs recipe.. I have it here
 JK> in one of my korean cook books.  It is so good. I'll find it later :)

Yeah... talking about things, one's mouth starts watering...  ;)
