Loving my Oldies

So do I. Stay strong Caz Yes. You are never far from my thoughts,Caz.

LOL, yep. I remember that.

Gosh, those front on pix are definitely reminiscent of BT, but what else I couldn't say.

Yes, you are not alone

Oooh, that's exciting . Keep us posted please.

What is wrong with people . The poor dog was injured in their care. I just don't get it.

Too true and I was one of those people who thought my dogs (Maltese and a long time ago) looked great with regular brushing. First trip to the groomer and they had to be completely shaved their coats were so matted next to the skin. I still have the photographs When I worked and had the money, my dogs were groomed fortnightly.

I don't want to turn this into a Shar Pei discussion :D but that is a bit sad, really corvus. Maybe look into the Shar Pei thread in Breeds? I spent a bit of time being involved in Shar Pei Rescue a few years back. I had Shar Peis visiting my house, baby sat puppies and adults, and loved each and everyone of them. The only caveat I would offer is that, as with any breed, there can be rogues, and you need VERY deep pockets

I have always been of the understanding that most vets will come to your house. Naturally you will pay accordingly, but that is how it should be.

Agree, Minimax, we all react differently. This has obviously upset Mantis and I think we need to understand that and treat her concerns with respect and care.

I have to agree with this, but also think Pav Lova is being pretty insensitive. It is bad enough being followed around the streets being harassed by someone (as I was some years ago because I made his dogs bark by walking past his house!!!), but this man lives in the same unit block as Mantis. Knowing that someone like this man is close by is enough to stress someone out, let alone knowing that if he sees you, he will be horrible to you. I agree that Mantis should just go out and ignore him. HOWEVER, that is easy to say. Not so easily done.

I am, but that means my girl is a prisoner & can't go for walks, it's unfair on her. But why can't you go out,Mantis? Do you think he waits for you and then harasses you, or are you not going out through fear of bumping into him? A most awful situation to be in, but if you are worried about his harassment claim, forget it. He doesn't have a leg to stand on. If you go out and he approaches you again saying he is suing you just tell him you are taking steps to counter sue. Do you have someone you could make arrangements with to have company on your walks?

Oh, THANK YOU Gosh they're little cuties - well not so little at 16 kgs. I don't know how you get anything done with those two around.

I can't see the videos. Haven't got Flash Player.

He's a knockout ..... and we have another one to look forward to. Exciting

She is a beauty, Shmoo. Hope a new carer comes along soon, or better still, a new home.

Ha ha, that sounds worth waiting for Bobby and DeeDee sound like a match made in heaven. Wonderful to see.

Oh, where is DeShonko kennels :laugh:. Puppies from Gambit and alibi's TV (Tard Version). A fortune in the making!!!

whether this is the case or not, it is totally disgusting. It is indeed disgusting. Same happened to a friend when her dog died of heatstroke from mismanagement at a boarding kennel. They think they will avoid liability somehow by not admitting anything. Doesn't really help much from a legal point of view. But shows them up as the arseholes they are. Same attitude is being adopted in the thread about dog being bitten at kennels. The dogs owners are going through so much grief, yet the businesses can't even extend the hand of sympathy.

whether this is the case or not, it is totally disgusting. Caz, keep up your strength and maintain your rage for Buddy - and other dogs who may enter that salon. OMG!! Ella, that must haunt you daily. . I feel sick to think of the hundreds of time I have cheerfully left dogs at groomers. I did walk in on one once to see one of the groomers THROWING a dog onto to table. Yes, we have a very litigious society which prevents people from offering even a word of sympathy and, as you say, will lie about even the smallest things. Then, when tragedy strikes, people like Caz and Buddy have to suffer even more.

Oh, what a darling. Even his brow is furrowed :laugh:

My thoughts but don't really have a clue LOL. Has to be the cutest little face I've seen for a while ------- except my own, of course. :laugh:

This is shattering, really. I know, I will be asking more questions next time I take my dogs to the groomer.

It's not good, but at least they didnt try to make something up to cover themselves. Huh. Not good even comes close. The owner should have added, "But, I will not rest until I find out what happened."

Totally. Absolute garbage on the part of the owner. He/she should be moving heaven and earth to find out what happened. Someone is not coming forward. I hope your friends take this further. Five days without treatment. Was the dog even fed????
