After a hiatus of not chewing, my dog recently started ripping apart library books again. I haven't the courage to deal with it yet though, and keep renewing his latest two chews.

This is funny! LOL!

Just came downstairs to find the dog has chewed my garmin to bits. Gutted!

WOW. At first glance I thought this thread would be about some sort of excuse for not running.

Now I realize that it is just a very sad, sad story

That cat should have been a Darwin Awardee.

She is 16 and spayed...at this point I think they won't want her application. We kinda like her, though. She was our first baby. Good thing the Human baby is a bit smarter. Tongue

That sux!!

If you decide to upgrade look at th Forerunner 310XT. I just upgraded to it and like it so much more than my 305 and it's waterproof too!!

That being said, does anyone wanna buy a "gently" used Garmin Forerunner 305???

Just wondering, why (aside from waterproof) do you like it so much better? Battery life?

#1 reason cats are better than dogs...

I beg to differ. You should see the scratches on my wrists from Mom's cat. Had to capture the beast to take it to the vet for its yearly checkup. Of course it is Siamese, so that's to be expected.

I offered an extra $20 to the vet to slip a little "something extra" into the monster's shots but she wouldn't do it.
