Loving my Oldies

How I can relate :eek:

Ha ha ha, great minds Morita. I saw this article on FB a few days ago and posted there: "Pope Francis needs to watch his back. He'll be joining Gallileo and be tried for heresy soon." But yes, I have been gobsmacked at some of the gentle and accommodating things he has said during his papacy. John Paul II and Benedict were reactionaries of the first order and I doubt they knew what "Christianity" was all about. But then that would apply to the vast majority of "The Church".

Thanks for the update. Thank goodness the little one is still being cared for. Poor old guy. Must be breaking his heart. ETA: I've just re-read you opening post, Sunny08. Do you mean the little dog is still all alone in the house where the old man and woman used to live with just twice daily visits by other members of the family. That sounds a pretty lonely existence to me. I wish they'd contact Rescued With Love and then Trixie would go into foster care with people who have years of experience with elderly and/or disabled dogs.

As inexperienced as I am, that was my first thought too. It looks very angry. Good luck with finding a new vet and quick healing.

Jesse and Jonah are looking great, Canetoad. The outback must suit them.

Brothers, hey! I have one who knows everything to know about everything and believes his stories are worth hearing over and over again. There are some subjects that simply can't be talked about with some people as hard as that may be. Obviously dog training is one of those with you and your brother, Mrs RB Her Majesty DogMad's last paragraph says it all with regards to taking our dogs with us.

Isn't it just such a worry. We love them so and want only for them to be happy and healthy. Stella has been through a lot: facial surgery and desexing. She is just a baby. I tend to agree with Persephone regarding not changing her sleeping arrangements, but if you would be more relaxed hacing her in the bedroom, set both places up for her and let her chose. Look forward to tomorrow's report. well.

Nope. But if someone else does, that is their prerogative. Both Bellas are very beautiful.

And beach, these days. Seeing the photos of Maddie and Stan enjoying themselves at the beach is just great, HazyWal. Happy Gotcha Day, beautiful girl.

Gosh, these photos are just the best illustrations of dogs having fun together.

Good luck with your girl, Stitch. Westiemum - who was your internal medicine specialist? Danny seems to be best when he has his medicines (Ranitidine, Cisapride and Carafate) three times a day. He still picks at his food and throws up fairly regularly, but not huge food filled vomits.

How tragic and devastating, Scootaloo. Deepest sympathies. :rainbowbridge:

Beautiful and touching posts, Seren. Lace will always be in your heart and now Harry will be there too. Very generally speaking, most dogs like having another dog around even if they don't do much together. Just to know that another of their kind is nearby is sometimes enough, but it sounds as though Holly did need a doggy companion and you have struck gold in Harry.

Dear dave73 All DOLers will share your heartbreak. Jazz has been given a life full of love and happiness. Hugs and best wishes to you and your wife and Zeus.

Most strays are owned by someone who just doesn't know how to find them.

Memory just popped into my head. Does anyone remember (is it still going??) Dogs Life! Magazine. I was addicted when it first came out, but after a couple of years it was just a repeat with different packaging and twice as expensive. However, I have never forgotten one heart wrenching letter. A woman wrote about how in a moment of having difficulty coping with everything that was happening in her life, she surrendered her dog, a staffy if I recall properly, to the pound. Shortly afterwards, she really regretted what she'd done, went back to the pound, but the dogs had been already euthanised. She admitted that she had to live with that for the rest of her life. That said, I do know that a lot of people will walk away without a backward glance or a nano second of regret.

You'll often see on FB pages which feature dogs in pounds ..... XYZ is a surrender so is urgent. ACT sounds so much more enlightened than many other places.

Great news. Go Jessie

Now that is good news.

Unless the owners are super sleuths, none :(

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Because it was a load of self serving, judgemental codswallop.

Send it to Kirislin for a make over. :laugh:

Little Gifts, from what we have seen of this outrageous organisation over the years, I would doubt that any proper process was followed. This little dog never stood a chance from the second his owner walked through the front door.

As I am the opposite to a hoarder, I've cleaned out Danny's medicines which are in tablet form and I can't get him to take. I generally take unused medications back to vet or to chemist for safe destruction, but thought I'd offer them here first. Losex 10mg - 7 tablets Viscotears Eye gel - used once Metacam 1mg chewable tablets for dogs - 4 tablets Periactin 4mg - 80 tablets Aminyllin - 16 tablets I'm in Hornsby. Probably not worth sending via post, but if anyone in the area wants them or wants them for rescue, I am more than happy to drop them off or have them collected.
