Loving my Oldies

Sounds truly fascinating, PS. Don't listen to Noisy, except for the T-Touch idea. :laugh: :laugh: I had a phone session with Amanda de Warren when I had Sari, I was so desperate to try to help that poor little dog realise she no longer had to fight or bit. Sari shut her out. I'd love to have a visit with Heather as she sounds exceptionally intuitive. From what you say about Wolf, I can imagine her turning her back; she wasn't going to have anyone look into her soul and reveal her secrets to mummy - LOL.

You kicked an old man to the point of knocking him down?! Teenager at the time or not I find that as disgusting as belting the dog. To a teenager, anything over 25 is old.

Yes, words of wisdom, SSM and Persephone.

Poor Jett. Probably overwhelmed by all the noise.

SSM, I think you are being too too generous with these sorts of people. I've seen it and I've seen their faces (not often thank goodness): just uncontrolled anger to my eyes.

Good for you. One puppy saved and that is worthwhile. Unfortunately the guy probably went to the pound (or the boozer) and bought another poor dog. Yes, it is horrible. I told a fellow off for hitting his dog (a lovely cattle dog0 and he threatened me and told me it was his dog and he would do what he liked with it. Unfortunately that is the attitude with those sorts of people. The dog is their possession to vent their anger and frustrations. They probably do the same to their children and women in their lives.

I'll have Tempeh, please. ETA: tell us more about the dog psychic, PS. Was she Amanda Warren? Why did you go? Was it interesting? Do you think you learnt anything about your dogs you wouldn't have known in time? Etc, Etc. I'd love some more information.

Whew! That's a relief because my first thoughts were what Persephone said. Agree with towels or old flannellette sheets to make belly bands. Good luck. Time. Will. Pass. Very. Quickly :laugh:

Of course we are going only by photographs, but Poppy seems to have much more muscle definition in her front shoulders than DaVinci. **sigh** what a beautiful dog.

I'm a hopeless photographer, but had to take this just a moment ago. If you scroll in very closely to Tamar's face, you will see her lower front canines sticking out. I've had Tamar from mid 2004 when she was about six months old. She still looks and acts like a puppy. As she is the youngest, I still call her the puppy of the group :laugh: .

WOW, I'll bet she was fun to live with Trish, the neighbour may be being just vexatious, but you won't know until you know what happens when the dogs are left alone. I remember a long long time ago, a DOLer was told that her dogs were being really really noisy during the day and didn't believe it . . . . . . until she was shown a video :laugh: .

Have to say that that has crossed my mind too. Which is why, when she is able, not only for justice for Buddy, but for any others who may have been subjected to this totally unacceptable and dangerous practice, Caz will pursue this.

Both the above. Plan B, any idea how DaVinci is going these days? His name is so appropriate, but it should have been prefixed by "His Royal Dogness" - he absolutely has the WOW factor. :laugh:

... with Steve and her husband? Oooh, now that's a thought. Might just be put off by the doggy sighs though. :laugh: :laugh:

Forget the b***dy dog sighs! I want some "adult cuddles" :D :D

In the past month, I have had two of my dogs diagosed with URTI. Firstly Jeune who seemed to recover very quickly on AB and then Bunter who after nearly five days of AB is still coughing, though no nearly as frequently. This evening, I went downstairs and found three sicks in the back yard and I am 100% sure it came from Jeune as she is they only one I have seen chewing on the violets (not native, but they grow self seeded around the place) and there was a lot of violet greenery in the sick. And just a little while ago, I heard her doing a bit of a raspy cough Jeune is large Chihuahua of approximately 10 years of ago. Bunter is a Pomeranian x Corgi (I think) of approximately 10 years of age. My uncertainty is because they were both adopted from pounds. Naturally if Jeune isn't well tomorrow, I will take her to the vet, but just wondered if anyone else has had this experience.

HarperLee on this forum has a dog with DI. I believe her dog Kisho is on constant medication. Send her a PM and I am sure she would be happy to tell you her experiences.

I would need to say hi to this guy! I've just noticed his little shaved patch . Must have need vax for his travels. Percyk -

Yep :laugh:

What a glorious looking dog Inka was. Does Keesha look like her? Your memorial was lovely, Inka3095, and moving. When the time is right (whether for you or your mum) a dog will find you. Goodbye Inka.

:rofl: Don't take any notice of him, mum. Those photos are priceless.

Great news, Mantis

My groomer is literally 50 metres down the road from me and I pass them several times a day when walking mine and driving out from my street. Apart from the fact that next time I take any of my dogs, I will be telling them of Buddy's tragic story, I will also be asking them a few questions to ensure dogs are never left unattended on grooming tables. I do recall being there once to book my dogs in and one of the groomers was in the middle of clipping a tethered dog, she said to ring me later as she couldn't leave the dog. As she was only a metre away from the counter where the diary was, I think this is a pretty fair indication that they never leave dogs unattended, no matter what, but I will be 1000% checking.

Brilliant idea I am sure there is a Boxer Rescue Group :laugh: :laugh:

Could it be the "snuffling" LOL?? Sort of serious question. I think it really is the noises. And the fact their eyes are often looking in all sorts of weird directions :laugh: LOL, glad I'm not as silly as I sounded
