Loving my Oldies

Sorry, but I totally disagree with this. I think you'd create a huge problem with Bonnie thinking she HAD to be with you and what about Georgia? A dog doesn't need to be his or her person every second of the day, even those who, like Bonnie, need a lot of reassurance. In my book, whilst you give the dog plenty of love and caring and cuddles if and when the dog can accept them, you also give it space and the ability to learn that it is safe even when you aren't in view or aren't around.

Nah, she probably wanted to sample those blue nails :D :D

She sounds a remarkable girl, Dave73. You must be both very happy at her progress and concerned that she can tackle the everyday life so well. You probably thought you had a relaxing period of adjustment :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

She is beautiful, Michelleva. Your Sheltie might think mummy has come back :laugh: Have a wonderful time with her; I am sure you will give her, I mean find her, a wonderful home. :D :D

LG, I would be reporting that place (but to whom, I wonder). I would be telling them of my concerns about how dirty it looked, how long Tempeh stayed in the tub, and your distress about how the cat was washed ......... and that you were never going back.

She'll be pleased to see the end of the cone

Flirt

Dont you wish wrinkles on us looked so endearing. Well, I don't know about you, but me . . . . . . . . . . . . :laugh: :laugh:

OMG, K. You'd better watch Neko when Stans Mum passes through. Not only a gorgeous photo of her with the soft ball, but highlighting the wrinkles as well.

As are a lot of people - which is said without criticism, just a fact. If the dog is already biting, I rather feel that there might be tragedy waiting in the wings for this family.

Or: I'd rather have 3 legs than be dead.

Sadly, Dave73, you will have to prepare yourself for some (probably a lot) negativity . It is part of the human psyche to want to transfer their own feelings onto others with very little understanding or care of what they are doing. When this happens, get your equilibrium back by popping into this thread to see what genuine and understanding dog lovers dog think and feel about what you have done :laugh: :laugh: . You have given your Jazz the opportunity to continue to lead a happy, balanced, loved dog's life. But because Jazz's difference is so obvious, you are going to be presented with this for the rest of her life. You sound well equipped to deal with it

It can be so very sad and so very frustrating. RIP little Skye. Everything Shiny gave you love to the very end and beyond.

Yes, but no updates? You know how we all love updates.

LOL - it was great to finally meet you too Rachel. I could have done without the chocolates I think they were opened by the time I turned onto Woodville Road. I really have to say that Teddy is such a lovely dog. We took him with us for the drive, and he has already met his new family. What a good traveller: he just say in the back seat (hooked in with clip to seat belt attachment in case anyone is worried :D ) and didn't utter a word until we arrived - and the same on the way home. I didn't realise until you mentioned the different coats of the others that he was one of several puppies rescued, Rachel. The other went to Tdierikx, if I recall correctly. I'd love to hear how they are all going and whether they are as lovely as Teddy. Any news on them, T?

Such an honour to be in a beautiful tribute, Ams. Askari was so beautiful . My deepest sympathies for your loss.

Oh, so soft and ready to have someone's head buried in his coat

Love that expression! :laugh: I've never heard it. So that is my something learnt for today :laugh: :laugh: And it will be stored away ready to use.

Fantastic news, Dave73. They sure are remarkable creatures, our canines. I hope you all enjoy the coffee ritual.

Oh such love The moment I saw Odie in the crate, I was going to ask why LOL. My nail clipping has always left a lot to be desired: too long or too short ouch!!

Oh that is hilarious, SM (enlarge it for those who might not have :laugh: ). If your neighbour keeps ignoring your warning about letting Martin roam, show her that photo. Eyes almost out on stalks might just tip the balance for her. Mind you, it would be hard to believe that those two gorgeous creatures could harm anything :D . You've always said that Maddie was a small greyhound, but this photo puts it in perspective for those of us who don't know much about them. \ Great photo to have for posterity.

He is certainly a very striking handsome dog, but no cuddling from me in this weather

LOL - but how ridiculous that you have to go to these lengths because a few tender souls are put out.

yeah, it's pretty amazing, it's so sleek and slippery. Like a little seal. Oh, forgot to mention it here, she has a registered name now. Roskyle Too Many Kisses mwah! Hopefully coming to a show ring near you. Ah! Roskyle ... In the other thread, you made a typo - Rosklye. LOL, now I can pronounce it

I had a scroll through their website and saw some pretty impressive (going by pix) ramps. People are often asking about ramps, so just thought I'd flag it.
