Loving my Oldies

Aphra = huge amount of valuable knowledge. I hope you will be continuing to spread your expertise far and wide, Aphra.

Really sags, as though Jed's new offerings and her marketing of such could in any way be misleading. She is offering a valuable product - why would she need to mislead.

Sorry Kirislin, I've jumped ship because I want a striped hairless dog. :laugh:

Good news and bad news, Dave73. Why the time limit if there is no cancer in the surrounding tissue? Is it because where once there is cancer, it will be there albeit somewhere else? I hope too that she thrashes their odds .

Wonderful wonderful photos, Koala, of dogs just leading the best lives

Well, I'm glad to see that accidents can start to happen at what to me is still young - LOL. I have been a bit baffled as to who is "leaking" at night. They all sleep on my bed and move around a bit which is why I am not 100% sure who is having problems - my only certainty is that it isn't me :laugh: :laugh: , Gussy or Bunter. I don't think I can point the finger at Danny, so that just leaves the girls. I think both Jeune and Tamar are having accidents and as Tamar is not quite 10, I was a bit horrified to find patches where she has been lying Our annual vax times are coming up so I'll be having them all checked over. I had two really large wet patches in three days pretty much where Jeune had been and this morning I flipped back the bedclothes to find a smallish patch where Tamar had been. Thank goodness for dryers and the ability to purchase extra supplies of mattress protectors on line :laugh: .

How wonderful to see dogs on the full stretch

Wow! Jed, I can see how hard you have been working to restore your property. Well done! Love the house too - and I thought you were converting a shed. Your conversion skills are something else: from ornery dogs to superdogs, from ornery shed to mansion.

Oh Lordy - that is hilarious !

And there are people, even on this forum, who say that dogs don't reason, don't have "higher emotions" (whatever they are). I loved the way he kept looking up, presumably towards his owner, to get encouragement.

Don't you worry about Grabbit&Goe, Kirislin. I'll help you fight your case, because I want deeply madly desperately a Mini Black Pharoah Hound, provided photography lessons come with her. Yes, I'd like a girl, if possible.

I'd def be interested, but I'd worry that those long long legs would slip on the wooden floors. Of course, they are no long shiny and polished (the floors that is) because of all the other wondrous creatures that inhabit this place (including me :D ). The colour is also a bit of a worry because he is very similar to my Danny and I'd worry that Danny might think he was his mum or dad. I'll pass this year, but look forward to hearing of other exceptional examples of excellent and forward thinking breeding practices.

. And if we do manage to contort ourselves in our sleep, we need to visit the chiropractor :laugh: whereas littlies and dogs just jump up and get going.

Ah Kirty, what a sad sad burden you had to carry. Bless you for knowing what is the right and humane thing to do when others don't and won't.

Beautiful gal . Congratulations on saving her.

I suppose it might happen at some stage, but in none of those pictures is the puppy restricting the boy's breathing. I see a lifelong love affair happening .

Totally Off Topic, but I "bought a brick" when Sippy Creek was building its new facility - and I've never even been there. An elderly cousin of mine was a volunteer there.

LOL. I am sure she is lapping up all the attention . She looks a lovely dog and her wound, although frighteningly large, looks tidy and healing well.

I have attached a link to the old thread wherein Miss Myrtie was introduced to DOLers along with her, ummmm, unique way of entertaining herself. :laugh: Just to show that age does not dim some, I took some photos today of her three plus years down the track still doing what she does best. http://www.dolforums.com.au/topic/198210-miss-myrtie-has-joined-the-moochers-as-a-foster-baby/page__view__findpost__p__4600077__fromsearch__1

I'm very lucky to live on a gently sloping block, Hankodie :).

Just lovely, Rozzie. Makes me think that Danny at nearly 15 is a Spring Chickie :laugh: .

Sometimes, one sees perfection. You have captured it, Rainers.

Yep, me too :D

This is true and just a matter of recognising it and trying to make the beating up of oneself not too hard

Wonderful news, Dave73. Hopefully all goes to plan ---- seeing the plan is such a great one for everyone. Well done Jazz - what a girl.
