Yeah, it was pretty much leveled.  The people that owned the property aren't rebuilding and it's impossible to sell so it may just stay as FEMA trailer city   :-[

Well, td...I've always told people in discussion that Mardis Gras is a "once in a lifetime" event. At least for me it was. It was VERY disillusioning...being 26 at the time, I felt beyond the "party till you puke" days (a la Bette, huh?) -- but, not quite financially privy to any of the masquerade balls or fanfare for the mature & famous. :biggrin:

That would've been more than a decade before Katrina & I thought the French Quarter et al was a complete dump.

I've never been in such filfth my entire life...

Glad you made it back home safely, dahling. :smitten:

Now that's just sad.  :'( It will be a constant reminder.  :no:

I know, Sunny.  Isn't it sad?  The place is so dynamic and has such fabulous history but the crime and filth keep everyone from enjoying it.  There used to be a tour of gardens that featured about 20-30 homes but one tour group got robbed at some point and about 20 of the homes pulled out of the tour.   :no:
   
If you are lucky enough to get an invite to a Krewe ball you definitely have to go!  We have a local Krewe here that has an annual ball that hubby and I love to attend -- all the crawdads and boudin balls you can eat---soooooo yummy!

I've always wanted to go on one of the Halloween tours that they have annually but not until they clean the place up.

Well this is a sarcastic post in Fun, Fun, Fun!

Last night my Chessie visciously attacked my new puppy, Sadie!   :eek:  My husband came home from work and found Angie (the Chessie) on top of Sadie in the ditch by out driveway just ferociosly biting her.  Luckily she only got to Sadie's feet and leg.  He had to fire a shot to separate them!!!

I can't understand it.  One minute they're romping around and playing nice and the next minute there's blood!  What is Angie's problem? 

I am currently changing Sadie's bandages and going to try and get her a VIP pass to our kennel club here.   :rolleyes:

Can't they all just get along??????   :-\

I bet Angie is jealous of the new puppy. You need to watch them real careful. They may have just gotten carried away, and misunderstood the others intentions,and it got out of hand.  :yes:

Wow, poor Sadie. It's tough being the new kid and you know how girls can be when they get together. I guess dogs can be catty too. :biggrin: Seriously though, that's unusual for a Chessie. They are such friendly and affectionate dogs. Although they're protective too. I wonder if poor lil' Sadie unwittingly did something that Angie perceived to be threatening? Whatever it is, I bet she won't do it anymore. I hope she's feeling better.

Well, hubby is certain Angie came from a puppy mill.  She has always been fierce when it comes to protecting her food bowl.  Hubby thinks that Angie just grew up having to scrap for everything and being an Alpha dog, she's just that way.

I will have to say that Sadie holds no grudges!  I let her out today to get a feel of the situation and she ran right up to Angie like nothing ever happened.  I am watching close, however   :yes:

Angie is part Lab as well as Chessie.  Being part of a puppy mill, she is showing signs of hip dysplasia and is in pain some days.  I think Sadie caught her on a day when Angie was hurting and, well you know the rest of the story............. :-\

Oh yeah and that could be it too. Or perhaps while they were rough housing Sadie caught her in a bad spot. Since Benji was attacked, I have to watch him closely, because if another dog goes for his ball, he gets really aggressive. I hate that 'cause he was such a sweet dog before the attack. We're working on it and I hope eventually he turns back into a consistently friendly pup.

Yeah, it stinks the way one bad incident can totally change a pet's personality -- as far as the balls or toys go, I always make sure I have a bunch of them on me -- I get the three-packs of toys at Dollar General for a buck--and as long as everyone has a toy or two there's no ruckus.

Right now all three of them are out on the front lawn rolling around in the rain like they're best friends. 
I wonder if they make puppy Prosac?  LOL
