Loving my Oldies

. Depends how short of cash his lawyer is :D

That photo is amazing. Rest easy, Oi

I know it is expensive, but can't cataracts be removed and artificial lenses inserted? Or do cataracts differ in as much some can be operated in and some can't. My Bunter was completely blind when I rescued him from Renbury. I am considerably poorer and much needed repairs to the house are now just a distance hope :laugh: but Bunter can see.

Yes, but Stan is a one off and (I think :laugh: ) the Boss.

I am very sad to read this thread, Persepone. Rest easy Oi. No matter how many dogs we have, the absence of one is always hard, whether permanent or temporary. (Myrtie is in emergency care at the moment with second bout of HGE in less than 12 months. She is progressing well.) Remember that wonderful photograph you posted a long time ago? It is on dawn and the dogs are a fair way ahead of you on a road? Is Oi in that? Can you post again, please.

[Not whole post quoted.] Couldn't agree with you more on both points, SSM

Whether you want to or not. :D Off you go. One dog! So easy.

What a dreadful experience for you and your old boy and I sincerely wish him a speedy recovery and for you to be able to have a many more precious days with him. I imagine treatment depends on badly ripped your dog's ear is, but sometimes ears are better off with the minimum of intervention, because they bleed very easily and profusely. A snood for protection as Persephone has suggested and maybe just taping the rip instead of any more scraping and shaving. :hug:

Beautiful. His coat looks absolutely superb. I'd love to say "perfect" actually and I hope future judges think the same :laugh:

This. But they are all soooooooo good. What brilliant photographers we are privileged to have on DOL.

Those photographs will be such a precious record for their new parents.

Oh dear, so wonderful to see dogs having that much fun They are both such personality-plus dogs.

Didn't know that. Thanks.

Especially if they are Tibbies :laugh: You'd be proud of me, DD. All dogs get a 'Hello!' from me. Today I walked past a young man with 2 hugely happy bully type dogs at his feet & holding a baby Shih Tzu. I said 'Hello, happy guys!' to the bully types & told the young man his little one is gorgeous. :thumbsup:

Not necessarily a rip off, Loraine. Just as Jumabaar says: not something vets would do everyday. Why aren't you just using your regular vet? I also understood that you didn't give heartworm medication without a test, unless dog has been on regular heartworm prevention.

Especially if they are Tibbies :laugh: Simnply Scrumptious Syndrome :D Now he would be impossible to resist. Actually, I get that too. Although I have the above SSSyndrome.

Priceless. Charlie sure is going to be a great playmate for Harry.

Obviously, there are certain issues to be thought about and arrangements made to cover such things as medical, but all in all, I think we over analyse. None of us knows what is down the track. Of course, we can plan, but plans can only be guidelines. I still say, go with your heart Kiwioz :)

Well, I'm far from an expert LOL, but I would have thought if the dog was snarling, the top lip would be much higher up and showing his gums. His ears are relaxed, but thinking that made me realise I don't have much of an idea what ears are doing if a dog if a dog is in full snarling mode. The photo also reminded me of "the Dally Smile". There doesn't seem to be any tension in the dog, not that we have the full dog in the photo. Very interesting. Another vote for Turid Rugaas' On Talking Terms with Dogs.

Chicken stock with whatever he likes. That was my first thought. I boil up a whole chicken and when finished, take out the chicken, stand the pot in the frig until fat solid on the top, skim off and strain the stock through fabric to get all the fat out of it. I cook vegetables and rice in the stock. (This is just for the dogs as I am a vegetarian.) I have one dog who would eat until he burst so he gets mostly vegies.

Oh, that adult cream is totally desirable - what a dog

That is a helluva lot of dog - and so handsome, even when tentative I hope you find a perfect home for,the young girl.
