A (different) credit card question

what do you mean by 4/24?  The funny part is my wife has relatively few cards and her score is higher than mine since my income counts towards her score.

Bad part is we have a ton of chase cards and they will not let us get anymore from offers.

5/24 is an unwritten Chase rule that limits how many Chase credit cards you can have.  Basically you cannot have 5 or more new cards within 24 months.    There are currently great bonuses out there that I can't get due to the rule.   

 

They also have a bunch of other less restrictive rules. If you are hoping to open new Chase cards it's best to close some old ones that are not used.

yes chase is the limiting factor for sure.  We were using my daughter once she turned 18 to get new credit cards. She too has a stellar credit report  since the bills are in my name!

Yes about then same for me first Kom was actually a stray we found wandering down the dirt road we lived on, when he passed we adopted another, then another as the first was getting a little older and we had 5 acres with horses and ducks and chickens.

Then we rescued a female (from a kill shelter) that was not spayed and the owner left her chained out.  She was very male aggressive and we had to find another home for her.

 

Fast forward a few years and when 9/11 hit the people who adopted her left town and left her at the house outside.  I went and picked her up, at the time I had just purchased a new house and had no other pets so she was perfect.

 

Then was looking for another Kom and got talked into a puppy from a friend who was a breeder, deal was I had to show and get him finished, paid about 1/2 price.  Did the show stuff he did not really like it but he was still very well behaved.

 

Lost Kom about 2 years ago but right now just not in a good spot to have a 3rd dog that is large.  Getting someone to take care of 2 small dogs.  Walking a Kom at least all that I have owned can be a challenge, mine were always well behaved but other dogs always wanted to attack them.  Had 2 Koms I had to take to vet for dog bites.  Part is always had to hold mine back since I knew that they would not do the usual dancing that dogs tend to do but they would either slam into them and take out a leg or just bite and crush.

 

Pleas post some pics and I will too, one of the funniest thing Dante learned was the table command, he loved nothing more than jumping onto tables of any kind.  Mostly without being asked too!

WOW What a beautiful boy. Our first Kom once hopped up on the kitchen table when my (then young teen) daughter was having a small party and was caught munching on a bowl of potato chops. It was quite comical.  The photo of the two dogs together are my two first babies (pre digital ) Bikki and Abrand (Abbi)  the rest of our sweet girl (Princess) Charlotte.

Very cool... Over an about a 35 year period I had three beautiful Kom girls.  I got talked into a little showing here and there. We got points and ribbons but always managed to wiggle out of it before finishing. It was a time (and $$$) suck to me.  Our last wonderful beautiful girl passed away suddenly four years ago and left us desperately heartbroken. We have two rescue Coconut Retrievers from St Martin, FWI.  I expect one more Komondor is in our future.  They are THE BEST 😍.

Great pics thanks for sharing we used to always shave our Koms down in the summer and let it grow back in the winter.  I am sure you never worried about someone breaking into your house. 🙂

What is a Coconut retriever a dog with a very large mouth?

 

Here is Dante as a puppe being terrorized by my small terrier mix rescue

Totally off topic --- But I'm loving seeing pics and finding out more about this fascinating breed. Thank you all for sharing! Does all that hair/fur grow back in one winter season? And what the heck is a Coconut Retriever?

[fredflint]

No it does not grow back takes about 3 years or so to get the full coat.

Coconut retriever is the name given to stray dogs on St Martin and probably some other islands too!

Exactly.. on both counts.. they are called different things on different Caribbean islands. I believe  on Turks and Caicos and the Bahamas they   are called Podcakes . If you have ever spend time in a beach in SXM in the past you most likely have run into one or two (more more 🙂.)
