Loving my Oldies

LOL, I was surprised to find them together like that, so I had to record it for posterity. :laugh: :laugh: Sometime later, I found Bunter had gathered all the chewed bones for himself:

Isn't she beautiful . . . . . . Hussy !!! :laugh: :laugh:

Oi! 'ands orf :laugh: :laugh:

They are truly very beautiful dogs. They do make me feel a bit hot though :laugh: not exactly fur coat weather.

You are absolutely right Erny and I should have quoted the whole post to show those words in context which would then have put my negative judgement in context. :) :)

Obviously, I can't vouch for individuals, but I used the Happy Housesitters website in 2008. I had very specific demands such as preferring a couple one of whom was home most of the time, etc etc and I found exactly what I was looking for. Long time ago, though. I also did a google search on the people who applied. I also met the couple beforehand.

All those gorgeous puppies and now we can follow all ten Rachel I am sorry to be disloyal :laugh: :laugh: , but ......... Epic and Stealth

Bros hangin' and munchin'

Oh Lordy - you couldn't adopt just one!!

:laugh: :laugh: OT: but why anyone needs to assert their authority over their dogs is quite beyond me.

I hope I don't jinx myself by participating in this thread . I haven't had any accidents on the bed for years. Rover ( ) was occasionally incontinent because he was really old, but belly bands took care of that. They were just the best best thing. Every so often, I think I'd like the bed to myself (or at least dog free :D ), but then I miss them. I usually have one draped around my head or as close to as she can possibly get, and the other three at various points around the bed. Bunter has to sleep on the floor as he starts growling and wanting to fight the others so as much as I feel for him, he knows his place in a very soft bed and happily curls up there once I given him a pat and a scratch.

LOL, I popped in here to see where "we" were with this delivery and TODAY IS THE DAY I had a little laugh about your nervousness ---- at my expense. When I first had two little puppies, I was a wreck. I'd not had a pet for decades, knew nothing about puppies and was sooooooo nervous. A friend came to visit and I remember crying on her shoulder, I was so worried that I'd do the wrong thing. I even asked my vet if puppies could die of cot death. Anyway, I am very very excited for you and can't wait to see pix and and learn about your third Cav and how Jules and Renae are adjusting to a new family member.

Forget the puppies - I'll have the bracelet thanks Rachel :laugh:

It is understandable that you are reluctant to contact the person who recommended the breeder to you. However, if the breeder is not returning any of your contact methods, you really are absolutely entitled to do this. You have been handed a very unhappy situation which for the sake of both you and the little dog, needs to be resolved. For someone who cares about dogs, to see a dog scared and unhappy is vey very distressing, so I wish you and the little dog a happy outcome eventually.

5 dogs all at once - aren't you a glutton for punishment. And thank goodness you are Those little dogs are going to have the best introduction to the big outside world. They are all gorgeous Rachel and so are you and your Best Boys !!

Excellent news. Bliss for all

Yes!! I could take each and every one of them :D :D

He hasn't been gone long from his real mummy, remember. I am sure other multi-dog households could comment as well, but it seems to me that, despite all dogs getting on well, there are always a couple more attached to each other than to the others. Like so - look at Tamar trying to squeeze into a tiny bed with Jeune LOL.

What an imagination!!! Marvellous

Oh Lordy - that is hilarious She is just gorgeous too.

I thought you had a puppy puppy ! :laugh: :laugh:

Congratulations Wonderful to read of your happiness ..... very infectious :laugh:

Hmm, she doesn't look too relaxed in her new home to me. She is obviously terrified. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Congratulations and I hope having Missy does indeed help Lucy.

It is good to see that there has been some action, Caz. Three weeks seems an awfully long time, but in the scheme of things, not so long. Nothing strange or misdirected about not wanting to change anything that is testament to "Buddy Lived Here". Buddy was a special part of your life and soul which has been cruelly wrenched away. Healing is hard enough at the best of times. Courage to continue the work to commemorate Buddy.

Thank you. Off to Google. Thank you Ilka for posing so beautifully and drawing my attention to the TT :laugh: :laugh:
