  1. Ha ha ha! I think the chair if just fabulous too, Alkhe.
  2. Oh gosh! The jewellery is V V V gorgeous, but I was reduced to loud guffaws by the dog in the pantry Loved the dogs floating in the pool in their blow up as well.
  3. My immediate reaction to your post, kwirky, was that I would do the same. However, I believe Clyde's post is very sensible as well. Depends on the length of the holiday and the vet check. The problem is that we can't see into the future and old animals can just suddenly go downhill. Best wishes for whatever you decide and I hope Hunter continues to plod along beside you for a while yet. Bali will always be there :)
  4. Hopefully someone who can guide you step by step will come in, but you need to open a Photobucket account, put your photos up there and use a link to post them here. Pretty sure there will be more detailed and easier to follow guidelines in either the Photos forum or the Help forum. Good luck as we'd love to see photos of both your pups
  5. Oh! Good and bad post. I am thrilled to know that Koda is doing so well and really sorry you have this big set back with Tinker . I hope she makes a total recovery and your lives with your beautiful dogs can be full of fun and love.
  6. What a devastating loss, Ash. My deepest condolences. RIP little Smudge and hugs for Pixie who is missing her dearest companion. Yes, time will dull the pain and loss, but never the love.
  7. OMG!! I am lost for words!! So so beautiful (happy tears). Do you think he will be going anywhere? :laugh:
  8. Oh! His freckled nose is so cute :laugh: :laugh: .
  9. What an amazing story and picture you paint for us.
  10. Disappointing isn't it :laugh: . Sadly, I don't have much call to go to Marrickville anymore. I used to go through there regularly to the place where I bought my raw dog food, but they have closed I'll just have to go for the pastries :D ...... and to try to see a Kangal IRL.
  11. OMG! That tiny tiny tiny puppy with her great big, more to come, mumma She looks as though she is saying: is that all
  12. You're like a relative of mine: if something doesn't interest him, it isn't worthwhile But if something interests him, everyone should hang on his every word while he drones on interminably about it.
  13. WOW!! Did any dog ever have a better birthday? She is really beautiful, Rach, and your boys !!! They are real boys now. Time goes too quickly.
  14. Moose must be wondering how his little kid brother turned into his great big dad :laugh: . Wonderful that they are so close.
  15. How wonderful . Have you been to the exhibition? No I have not been, but would love to. Have you Danny? No. I'm all out of energy for getting myself into the city.
  16. Look at all the "human births" in the movies and TV. Hardly a spot of blood in sight and generally the new mum is sitting up in sparkly white sheets, hair immaculate and in full make up. And not to forget the people who think milk comes in bottles and meat comes in plastic wrap. A bit of reality could only be a good thing.
  17. I stopped a couple of years ago, after Bunter actually. Apart from the cost in dollars, the coming and going of all the different dogs, the rescues and fosters and permanents, over many years, took a toll on my dogs, I believe. Some of the rescue sites drew me like a magnet and I knew that if I looked, I would weaken, so because I knew I could afford any more, financially or emotionally, I went cold turkey. Although I'd half heartedly promised him, "No more dogs," after I rescued and kept Bunter, I finally core promised my Danny. He is 14+ now and really needs his mum not to fragment herself anymore.
  18. What about local radio and local papers?
  19. How wonderful . Have you been to the exhibition?
  20. They don't have to have anything to do with the organisation :) . I was just scrolling through the photos and stories and saw this one: We first met Andi 'on line', loved her profile and arranged to meet her in person at the Starfish Animal Rescue in Baulkham Hills, Sydney. We went for a beautiful walk together and it was love at first sight! Andi moved in with us that same day! She is adored by all our family and someone's loss was definitely our family's gain (especially for 84 year old Beryl, who is pictured here with Andi). It is inconceivable to think of buying a dog from a pet shop or breeder when there's little ones like Andi in shelters around the country just waiting to love and be loved. Have already read this story about Andi so has Starfish. I had never heard of the Starfish Animal Rescue so I enquired about it. No agenda or mystery, just interest as I am not far from Baulkham Hills. You have now. ETA: You might like to get back to them to tell them that one of "their" dogs has been featured and it is a beautiful photograph of the dog and an elderly loving human :) No need to she already knows. So what is the problem?
