Loving my Oldies

Marvellous photographs showing a beautiful boy in a beautiful beautiful home I'm off to google Kirkland LOL.

Hmm, not good. So sad. Just had a thought: what about Big Dog Rescue? If they have room, they may be able to get the dog out of Blacktown.

What about your friend ?

Just to add, if you are allowed to surrender a dog anywhere, Hornsby Vet in Leonard Street is one of the holding vets for SDCH.

I don't think that is the case, dogs life. However, if it is, I ditto what fbaudry has said about Sydnet Dogs and Cats Home. Good luck in your endeavours.

Yes, the children over the road would be broken hearted too .... like hell. I am in my front garden a lot and so I regularly see all members of,the family coming and going ay various times through the days. The gate to the courtyard with the poor dog is kept is down the side adjacent their driveway, so they have to pass it when the get out of their cars or the children walk in from school. I rarely if ever see them look in let alone go in to interact with the dog.

Apart from the fact that "your" family is in the Blue Mountains, Scottsmum, you could be talking about the people over the road from me. Female, Black Labrador. Locked in front courtyard with no view of the outside world except the sky. Ignored most of the time and given an occasional walk, read drag. Breaks my heart because I hear the poor think crying and yelping with sheer lonliness and boredom. And yes, outside with cover, but wind blows in the rain.

LOL, no you would not be able to trust people to honour your rules and requests. I think if I wanted to stay in dog friendly accommodation and wanted my dog on the bed or furniture, I would take my own throws and covers to protect the bed and furniture. People can treat holiday and rental accommodations pretty carelessly.

He sounds a dog in a million, CM. Deepest sympathies on your loss.

Best advice ever Walter the Weimaraner used to live around the corner from me (family rented and have just moved). He barked a bit, but then He was left alone for most of the day and I very rarely saw them walking him, so I don't hold that against him. He regularly got out when tradesmen were there and when his people would leave the front door open. He didn't seem to have a mean bone in his body and, though I was not one of his people, he would obey me and go home. As I would have my little dogs in tow, he didn't show any interest in them except wanting to be friendly. I once saw a couple of LH Weimaraners at a show and, whilst I can't say anything about their personalities, I nearly swooned :laugh: :laugh: at their beauty.

Stunning, Kirislin. I'll bet the man was thrilled to bits as well and he will now have such beautiful photographs. Some years ago I used to see a woman walking two Afghans on Beecroft Road. On the same road I saw a man come whizzing out of side street being pulled on a uni-cycle by three Whippets. No camera on me though

Thanks, they look lovely. If Benny stills needs to get DH on side, I hope he doesn't express his enjoyment of his dinner in, ummmm, a particularly doggy and aromatic way. :laugh: :laugh:

Groan... along with just about every second dogs and boy baby born lately.

Fair point, but a pure bred Fox Terrier is a very distinctive animal! I'm afraid I don't get that "logic" at all. Why can't the story about the animal say as much. Sorry, shaking my head.

Get yourself a copy of "Give Your Dog a Bone" by Dr Ian Billinghurst. Should be able to find a reference to feeding up thin and arthritic dogs. It is a good book to have on hand, in any case :)

Called that by pound or shelter, YAPS.

A beautiful and heart warming sight, Brandiandwe And, yes, his tail is pretty cute. Can we have names of your three, please?

Crikey! That's extraordinary. Glad he found a good home this time.

Yeah, but you have to pretend you're not going to FF, at least for a while :p I suggest we ask Benny :laugh: :laugh:

Sometimes you know within 24 seconds .... LOL

What a yummy little boy. Have a great time with him.

:laugh: :laugh: Benny is working his crafty wiles.

You are so right. Gosh, he is really handsome. Love that colouring. Not enough icons! I'm really happy at how well you have organised it all, Brandiandwe.

Despite her provenance :D :D , I think Kirby is in very good hands. The only problem I see is DOL tragics getting enough photos. LOL.

of relief. Have been on tenterhooks
