Hi, I'm a Basset Hound married to an Irish Setter interesting combination don't you think? If you want to know what you or your friends are check this out. http://www.emode.com/emode/tests/dog2.jsp

Ok Holly I took the bone and took the test.. I am a Scottish Terrier. Haven't found out what my husband is yet but will let you know. Great site..I sent it on to non BTers. Did you take the party test??? I turn out to be a parrot.. Lucky me..

Holly, that was fun - I'm a Collie, and proud of it!! I'm gonna have my hubby check it out also. Thanks for the smiles!

Freddie, Turns out I'm a Lab as a Party Animal.Must be that laid back but ready for fun. Simular to the Basset Hound in me.

Hazel,I thought your kids might have some fun with this.

Just got the Collie collar!!

Will be interested to see what Cheryl comes out as??

Bill

Cheryl here! I am a Cocker Spaniel (party pup)

That was fun, I'll be sharing that link!

Cheryl

Well...I'm a German Shepard. Neat link.

Yikes! I'm a poodle!

I refuse to even check out the site....This is my worst nightmare!!

I know, I know, I shouldn't be here.. but just couldn't resist this one over coffee this am! By the way, I'm a Chihuahua!

Have a great week all..

Sarah

Freddie, my friend,

I'm a Scottish Terrier too :-)

Jake

Voof! Voof! I'm a German Shepard
Chet

Irish Setter here.
Linda

Chihuahua also....plus Koala ? for the party thing...is that good? Oh come on Andy give it a whirl....

Aha! I sense a new LIST in the works.

Go Chet go!

Gee Linda, I'm so glad Ric (my husband) was feeling lonely as the only Irish Setter. None of our friends have come up with that yet.

I'm a Bernese mountain dog! And a party parrot!

Irish Setter here too! Thanks for such a fun way to procrastinate on a Monday morning!

Oh man!!! I am a pekingese! That is a dog I would never ever want for myself! But then again, they are kind of cute! Ha! yes- a reason to procrastinate this Monday AM,,,, any reason will do on a cold and dreary Monday :-)

And an owl at a party - yup that one IS me!

Cute site! I'm a Bernese Mountain Dog, (never heard of one), and a Koala Party Animal. I soooo wanted to be a Golden Retriever like my own beloved girl, but I couldn't imagine going through life with a tennis ball in my mouth!

I'm a Chihuahua and a Koala! Yikes! Don't like Chihuahua's! Koala's are cute though.

Leigh Ann...exactly the same!

Oh boy, I'm a Collie.... and a wolf... That's a mean Lassie

I'm a German Shepherd and a Koala. hmmmm, what kind of analysis can we do on that personality????
though Martin's Collie/Wolf mixture is pretty interesting.

Great site Holly, thanks - I sent it on to some friends.

Well I'm a German Shepherd and a Koala

Gail, Here is a photo of a Burmese Mountain Dog. They are beautiful and very loyal..

As yet another member of the Burmese faction I thank you , although wouldn't a further description be kind of big, lovable & drooly??

Alright Meryl! I guess we are twins!

I had also heard that the Burmese Moutain Dog was the dog that orginally brought the provisions to standed people on mountains . Most people think it is the St.Bernard. So I guess these Dogs really know their Scotch or was it Brandy??

what? no other Golden Retrievers! interesting site, i'll have to go back again.

Bernese aren't drooly and are slim with medium coats, they are great with children and are very well behaved. The St Bernards were supposedly bred from them and are larger in all directions. They both have a habit of thinking they are lap dogs and both are definitely lovable.

PS, I am a German Shepard.

Jim

I am also a Golden Retriever, now where did I leave that tennis ball.

Mister Keely now you have had a paws for thought what sort are you?

I'm still fighting the temptation to take a peek, (Sorry for that, it just slipped out) Brian.
Working with 'em all day long's bad enough...the discovery that I might be a shitzhu would be just too much to bear!

Who would of thunk, I'm a St. Bernard. Where's the brandy.

Holly, Thanks for the fun site. My students tried to take the test this AM, but since they are all under 13 years of age, they were denied access. We even tried to put in different ages, but the site obviously has a check and balance feature that continued to deny access.

Anyway, I asked the students and my assistant what type of dog they would like to be. Here are their answers:

Lauren age 6: a Kelpie, whatever that is!
Katlyn age 7: a Poodle
John age 8: a black Lab
Tyler age 8: a McNab
Travis age 9: a yellow Lab
Mrs. B classroom assistant: German Shepherd

That's all, folks. I was glad to see that some sites really are off limits to young people, although I would not necessarily consider the dog site to be dangerous.

I'm a Pit Bull... wonder why?

Andy

Lets guess what breed you are:-

British Bulldog, No big & slobbery and breathes with a wheeze. Well maybe!

No - I have it, it would need to be a breed that breathes in a posh way.

I suppose you would call it a Fancy Pants.

Why not write another trip report Brian?...you were quite good at that.

How can the dog column get catty??

Pull the tail of an unmuzzled Fancy Pants, Jack, & you risk getting your fingers bitten off...at the elbow!

Mr Keely - your a little bristly this morning, I hope this terseness doesn't mean that you grabbed the wrong end of the shovel again.

Egads...I'm a Pug. eeeew..but maybe true

To paraphrase one of you Brits...their ancestors were guarding temples, while ours were swinging through trees. Sheeszh, guy owns a kennel and doesn't know a top dog from a mop! No wonder he gets the spade work...;-)

Jake, so far it's you and me for the Scottish Terriers. I think the breed is for SPECIAL people only!!!

Like I said at the beginning of the thread...This is my worst nightmare!!

Oh, come on Andy darling, I'm enjoying being a Chihuahua this week.. you could be enjoying it too..!

Andy, thanks for the direction to the thread...Cecil whoda thunk that two folks born on the same day would both be St. Bernards! I'll take it! I am also a party doe and my flavor is blueberry...oh, Andy, come on...we will still love you no matter what you are

That is too weird Cynde. The trick is not to like burritos as your only food, we could of ended up being Chihuahuas.

Cecil, I know, very wierd...hmmm...passed it around at work,and one gal chose "power bar" for the lunch for the rest of her life...yikes!

Power bars for the rest of your life??? That would be MY worst nightmare!!

I wholeheartedly agree Hazel! That is what we all said!

Pllllllllllllllleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaassssssssssssssssseeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Andy...come on...be a good dog and take the quiz.....

Now look Cynde! I only dragged you over here because I thought your new imput would get 'em all off my back. Youre just making things worse.
And Meryl...remember your salary will shortly be coming up for review.
I'm not giving in!
Anyway, every dog has his day as they say & I'm much too busy being a hero...See Dinys "Trip Report Jan 12-20".
How can you discourage Diny, Cynde? Us divers are a much underappreciated bunch & at last someone sees us in our true light. Don't knock it.
I know that I for one, will be shovelling with a spring in my step this morning!
OK you heroes....in the words of the much missed Jason "Colour me gone!"

"dave, you're a Cocker Spaniel!

No bones about it, you're a perky, loving Cocker Spaniel. (Think Lady from Lady and the Tramp.) Playful and energetic, you're a real people person — er, dog. People can't help but fall hook, line, and sinker for your friendly, well-rounded personality and natural charm. It's a subtle thing, though — being outgoing and flirtatious, not showy, is the name of your game. Friends, co-workers, and potential dates can't help liking you. How could they not? Your winning-yet-humble ways make you popular, admired, and a joy to be around. Woof! Keep reading for more about your puppy personality..."

you gotta be kiddin.

Mr. Walhiq?

I think that the "h" comes before the "l" in Wahliq, mate. But it doesn't really matter because it's silent (not pronounced) like in Schip"h"ol.
Nice one, eh?

Dave, I have to disagree...I think Andy is more like a teacup poodle cute and cuddley, hardly even know they are there....

oh, andy, you know how thick a St. Bernard's head can be at times...how did I discourage Diny???...

Thicker than I thought, for sure. Get a grip woman, for Lords sake!...Dave's talking about himself not me.

andy, you know how hard it is for edina to concentrate (especially sober)!...my little poopsie woopsie

Dang,

I'm a poodle. And an owl at a party. My hubby is a german shepard.

dave,my apologies for thinking you were speaking of andy, that is why it was so confusing for me...however, andy after reading your post under the kitty thread...me thinks you really need to take this test and embellish the results

oh, and speaking of Jason...did he disappear along with Barry?

Yep - Jason decided he'd been active enough on BonaireTalk, and the whole deep diver thing was enough. Had a nice little e-mail exchange with him. Kelly's gone on holiday too (don't know if he's planning on dropping in anytime soon).

Jake

Thanks Jake, I asked about Kelly a while back cause I hadn't seen posts from him. I miss him. Is he coming down soon? We should have steered that whole conversation to www.diver.net's chat board...I'm actually AFRAID to post on that one!

Aw c'mon Cynde.
The "deep diver thing" was a great opportunity to see the contributors true personalities.
What really surprised me most from it all was just how insecure most of those who posted on the thread really were. Very few were prepared to accept anyone elses point of view as having any merit & an equally large number refused to post the inevitable tales they harboured, that showed them to be mere mortals, in the Humility thread.
An aside...I had a lot of time for Jason, as he did for me. We needed plenty because although we thought that we liked each other, neither of us had a clue what the other was talking about!

Andy - I think you are a staffordshire with indigestion. Definitely an attitude. Thats my 2 pence worth.

I guess its my turn to be growled at.

andy, all i have to say is God Bless Testosterone

Andy, I will testify on your behalf. I read both threads several times (did not contribute), and I do not get where the hell the animosity came from. But boy was it there, talk about a case of step away from the keyboard. The differences between the two sides was so miniscule and I had a hard time keeping track of which side everyone was on, and mentally had some of the participants on the wrong side. I never did get it.

Saying all that, it still bothers me that we lost Barry and Jason.

and Kelly...

I'm not going to growl at you Linnea. Far from it. I've just been checking out your profile & you look like my kinda girl!
I do think you're being a trifle unkind to me though.
While I admit to being slightly mischievous at times, I only attempt to entertain & where possible promote a little interesting conversation between us all.
Let's face it...if the only subjects we discussed were the Bonaire weather & the occasional fish that was worthy of note that passed in front of the reef cam, we'd all soon lose interest & move on to pastures new. No?
Certainly, the attraction of the site to me is the diversity of the subects covered & the characters who write about them.
Thanks Cecil. Our paths haven't passed much lately.
Are you still the king of the sunset posts, or is that young upstart Rusty still trying to wrestle your throne away from you?
Jason wrote to me a couple of times since he stopped posting. I think that he only left because he lost interest & nothing more sinister.
I'm sure that he could be tempted back if the subject was right & someone gave him a nudge.
I write to Mary & Walt (his neighbours) quite often. Perhaps I should see if they can drag him back to the keyboard?

andy, maybe they can let him know we have been asking about him...

Ok new game....with what we "think we know" of Andy's personallity...let us do the test for him..and see what we all come up with....

I come up with Scottish Terrior....

I've got a better idea Meryl...I'm going to start a new & much more interesting thread.

Besides....deep down we all know really, don't we? I'm a Bloodhound!

Mery, what are you doing "here", I thought you were here.

Keely....humm...Jack Russell

I don't know why I can't read the preview before post page, sorry bout that Mery+l

Dave was there...now back here! went very quick..short vacations are bad cause they pull you here and there....I took many real estate papers home with me ! My sister is starting out in a realty company...so we will see...beautiful area....

Ok, I come up with "pit bull" for fancy pants...andy you better take the test yourself and be done with it!...now read on..

"No bones about it, you're a commanding Pit Bull with a bite as big as your bark. Authoritative and aggressive, the power position is the only one for you — and you never have trouble making that crystal clear. A bit quick-tempered, you can be a little intimidating — though you hardly ever attack unprovoked. Taken aback by our insight? Don't despair! You have several redeeming qualities. Very low-maintenance, you're not one to fall victim to superficiality. You say it like it is and don't waste time playing head games. Just make sure to keep your scowl and growl in check so people can get close enough to notice and appreciate your positive side...."

andy, please don't be mad at me daaaling...i just answered for you (if you would take the dang thing yourself, we wouldn't be doing this)...still love ya

Cynde, have you been on the "Ab Fab"?....S

Andy, dearest, the only staffordshire I ever met was a sweetheart of a dog. Most people were scared of him at first sight because he looked so much like a pit bull, but he was lovable and well trained to boot. (Can Marcia and Mum claim the same of you?) If I ever meet you in person, I promise to scratch you behind your ears.

lol, sarah, wathed 3 whole episodes saturday night...gratefully...edina
