Post something really ugly about Jackie's little dog? Try to sell sponsons to everybody? Or maybe read the instructions you got when you subscribed. I'll bet you could also find them on the Paddlewise Web pages.

Not to be mean but it would be nice if people realize that not all of us have total access to things like web pages. I can thank aol for its really high quality Mac support for my web browser punting me about 90% of the time. Accessing some pages makes me wonder if social security will end before the whole thing shows up. I have a second bone to pick with aol, in that I am still on ver. 3, I think it is, for my Window NT machine at work. That one doesn't even have a spell checker and I just use the t1 for web access. Aol is a joke on that platform too. I don't care about all the things aol does because about 75% has nothing to do with anything I can use at this point. So, if you want to aim really useful messages like this could you please cc aol for me? I might actually get my $21 worth out of them someday. So, would someone with the e-mail saved somewhere in their system like to send this person the information they asked for? I don't have it either.

How does the word Hallie derive from the name Rafael Diaz? > Pray tell us the story. > > Sandy This is really a wonderful Jackie Fenton story more than a Diaz one. Just before Christmas last year, Jackie who lives in Southern California and much more soft-hearted than her tough PaddleWise den mother persona lets on, got upset about something she had heard of through the 'Net. A Westie puppy, the same breed as her beloved Mollie of ascii art fame, had been returned to a pet shop in Las Vegas because of some ailment that is common among Westies. Jackie knew that the ailment could be cured with a caring regimen of medicine and attention. She negotiated with the shop to buy the puppy. But it was now Christmas eve. Jackie was upset by the vision of the puppy alone in a closed shop over the holiday. In a scene reminiscent of the Three Wise Men and the baby in the manger, she got her significant other, Bob, to drive the long distance over the Rockies with her and Mollie to pick up the puppy before the shop closed. The puppy turned out to be a delight and took to Bob and Jackie right away. And to Mollie. The two greeted each other like twins who had been separated at birth...no jealousies, no territory staking out, just a lot of sisterly sharing. The rescued puppy showed herself immediately to be a scamp. Her favorite trick was to steal any sock or small object that was lying around and to hide it. With the story of her rescue on Christmas eve and her loving way with people, the puppy stole the heart of anyone who met her. Jackie started thinking of her as a pirate of hearts and things. And that is where one Rafael Diaz y O'Halloran comes in. About a month earlier, Jackie and I had been exchanging email on some matter. Somewhere along the line, I mentioned to her that her last name, Fenton, meant "someone who lived near a marsh or low wet area." (I had written a book, still not published, about surnames, so I kinda know such things). I mentioned what my two last names meant. Diaz (paternal surname) coming from "of, or son of, Iago or Diego" and O'Halloran (maternal surname) from early Gaelic for "pirate or stranger from across the sea." Jackie remembered that. And so the new puppy became Hallie as a dimunitive of O'Halloran. So that is why I have a puppy named after me. Sic transit gloria. ralph p.s. sorry that this is not kayaking related but it does say a lot about Jackie, our den mom. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Ralph Diaz . . .

Now you've gone and ruined my reputation. :-) > A Westie puppy, the same breed as her beloved Mollie of ascii art fame, > had been returned to a pet shop in Las Vegas because of some ailment > that is common among Westies. CMO or Cranial Mandibular Osteopathy... the canine version of elephant man disease. If it doesn't kill the puppy (sometimes they die of malnutrition as the disease causes too much pain for the puppy to eat), they can outgrow it and live a perfectly normal life and all signs disappear. This disease occurs often in puppy mill puppies which is where Hallie came from. I've been informed that the pet store that had Hallie for four months has been shut down. Yeeeeaaaaaaaayyyy!! Due to malnutrition (improper and lack of treatment for the CMO), Hallie is basically a runt. But she makes up for her small size with major energy. This is one fiesty furry kayaker. > Jackie knew that the ailment could be cured with a caring regimen of > medicine and attention.

Well, actually, it was over the desert and through the cactus to Las Vegas but I'd rather have been driving over the Rockies (or anywhere for that matter) than to Las Vegas. I *hate* Vegas. > The puppy turned out to be a delight and took to Bob and Jackie right > away. And to Mollie.

They have to keep in shape for the badger kill :-) They love to hunt which is why I'm convinced they love going out on a sea kayak... they think they are with alpha dog (me) on the hunt for something fierce. All a big game for westies. *Life* is one big game for westies. <snip> > About a month earlier, Jackie and I had been exchanging email on some > matter.

We've always referred to ourselves as the "swamp people." :-) The desire to get wet is in my heritage. > (I > had written a book, still not published, about surnames, so I kinda know > such things).

Nothing stranger than a westie pirate in a kayak.... > Jackie remembered that. And so the new puppy became Hallie as a > dimunitive of O'Halloran. So that is why I have a puppy named after > me. Sic transit gloria. And she's certainly living up to her name :-) I need a mini tandem folding kayak for two westies so they can start carrying their own baggage....

Jackie, I've always had a lot of respect for you because of all of the work you've done as "den mother" of this group--but now to also hear that you are against puppy farms and pet stores that sell dogs from them---well there just aren't any words to express how much more respect you've earned. As a former dog breeder and exhibitor (Old English), owner of canardlies (you can hardly tell what breed they are), and now as the proud pet of two Dobies; a tip of my paddling hat to you!!
