Loving my Oldies

LOL! One happy and much loved boy

Sour grapes, sounds like. Poor show other rescue group

Deepest condolences, fainty girl. What a gorgeous girl was Jessie.

Agree with LG , but adding, a rescue group whose dogs are in foster care, not dumped in holding pens somewhere, and they know the personalities of their dogs. Given the right assistance and attitudes, I have no doubt that you could very happily introduce another dog into the mix. Anecdotally, I have a tiny weeny little dog who is a nightmare to walk, because she is so reactive, but I can bring any dog INTO my house and yard, and I can even take her to dog training where there would be dozens of others dogs without any problems . Who knows who is going on in the heads of reactive dogs? A huge muddle of feelings I would guess. I would start working on your situation now to find your next dog. :) Good luck.

I don't mean to disparage your vet GSDowner, but I find this quite extraordinary and downright shocking. All my dogs are elderly, none of them has food intolerance, I rescued and adopted several elderly dogs from pounds over the years and none of them ever developed a food intolerance. Yes, they (and we humans) have their off days and might from time to time have upset tummies, but to say that as dogs get older they develop all sorts of food intolerance problems is just plain dangerous. Go elsewhere .... and fast. ETA: Perhaps you could tell us the town/city/suburb you live in and we could give recommendations.

This is one of the coolest ideas I've ever heard :D What fun It's something I've never really been able to understand , but I guess from what I've read here on DOL, black dogs and black cats do suffer for their beauty LOL. Whilst I am fully aware the ghastly history of cats, particularly black ones, being associated with witches, it is heard to believe that superstition plays any role in decisions today, but I suppose it must . I have diarised the date so I can remember to check how you are going.

Oh, how totally horrible. Those poor women. If those men hadn't been chancing by . . . . . . . .

C'est moi !!

What a naughty cutey. LOL

I hope the man who is in prison is allowed, no forced, to visit his grandmother to see what his stupidity and criminality have caused.

Oh that is hilarious. Frustration, thy name is Goat.

With that colouring, she probably thought he was her dad.

Oh, yes Loved the white dog with the cropped ears "rescuing" the Poodle.

Oh, Staffyluv - that is worse than my rant. Poor poor dogs. At least "my" little dogs have each other and they have the run of the back yard, although I've no idea how big that is.

A little dog has been barking non-stop for over two hours. She and her sister (Maltese Crosses) are owned by people who don't believe in having dogs in the house ... AT ALL, so I have been told. The dogs are occasionally walked and are basically just your nice average dogs. But they sure don't have much of a life. I don't want to cast aspersions, so I hopped in the car and drove around the block to check their house. Plenty of lights on, two of their cars are parked out the front, so someone must be home. Are they deaf, or don't they care? I guess it's the latter I first became aware of these dogs a few years ago: I actually went outside one day to call Tamar to stop barking only to see her snuggled and quiet on the lounge. It took me a while to work out where the barking was coming from. The household consists of parents, two adult children and the 3-4 year old daughter of the daughter, so no shortage of people who could take these little dogs for a whizz around the block. If someone told me my dogs were barking non-stop, I would be mortified, yet, I once asked the young woman which of her dogs was the barker? Deliberately of course. Could have wasted my breath. She wasn't sure . . . . . . . .

Oh WOW! That was entertainment at its best. Marvellous dogs.

Oh gosh, Rozzie. What an amazing little chap. You and he were blessed.

They might be USA sellers LOL.

Modern surgery Good boy, Zeus. No more worrying mum and dad, now

Hopefully, that will be the solution, westimum.

Have you looked at Furbabies - Can't remember full name - an advertiser on this forum? I bought belly bands from her; you may need a combination of belly bands and pants. Love my furbabies, I think.

Their routines were totally thrilling and entrancing. She was so modest and Gin obviously enjoyed every minute. Good to read an update, thank you. Funnily enough, I was thinking about them the other day. I wonder if Rupert could be persuaded to start a newspaper: Whatever happened to . . . . . :laugh:

Do you mean the Weimeraner or the OH

I used to mix ID, rice cooked in home made chicken stock and chicken, but seeing your dog developed an intolerance for the chicken, perhaps you need to stick to the ID and rice. With the chicken stock, I'd make is up as for normal stock but without any seasonings. Remove the chicken and let the stock sit o/night in frig. Skim off as much fat as possible and strain through material. I use a cotton tea towel. This gets pretty well all the fat out. I then cook rice by the absorption method to ensure all the flavour is retained. What does your vet say about the krill oil and Inner Health? Maybe they are a problem as well. Good luck. It is hard to see our loved ones struggling.

I agree with juice. The council obviously isn't going to act - unless they are scared into it. This whole thing (I am going through something similar but nowhere nearly as bad with an RE company) just makes me so mad. Council workers are paid out of our taxes, yet few seem to have any concept of honouring their obligations to their community.
