Loving my Oldies

My dear dear Caz, you must be in such a turmoil of anger, sorrow, disbelief, recriminations..... such a tragedy. I too feel sick to the stomach at what has happened. You are right: something does need to be done and when you are up to it, you need to consult a lawyer. As others have said, nothing can bring back Buddy, but the salon has to be made to take responsibility. Frankly, I'd be out the front with a placard and walking up and down in front of their premises. You are the biggest softy out, Caz, but don't let that kick in and start feeling sorry for the groomers. They must have left Buddy alone for at the very least several minutes. Oh, Caz. Such a tragedy.

I would imagine so, but we are just having fun with imaginations. :laugh: :laugh:

Well she has gone, but unfortunately probably pedalling her rubbish on a not so well regulated site.

Nah, he's thinking: gosh I hope none of my friends see me out with this little fella. :laugh: What I loved was the seriousness of the little boy going back and forth through the puddle. Wonderful little video

I looked at ME profile and saw this photo. Thought, Huh! The woman in the photo looks normal. ME ain't normal. If her posts are even 50% real, she should be banned from having anything alive.

I thought of this thread last night . Myrtie was at SASH (emergency and specialist hospital in Ryde, Sydney) with a bout of HGE. I went over to walk her to see if she could poop and decided to take Tamar with me as a walking buddy for Myrtie. [Obviously, I was just going to take her to a grassy patch to let her sniff, not to a two hour cross country - LOL.] Anyway, big mistake. The waiting room was hugely busy with several couples/families visiting dogs, taking dogs home, admitting dogs. Wish I had shares in the organisation :laugh: . Poor Tamar was extremely put off by all the activity and was keep very close to me. Unfortunately for her in terms of getting attention, she is very very cute. I was sitting down and caressing her ears to try to take her mind of things when another woman was called by the receptionist, she leapt to her feet very quickly and, as she passed us, bent down thrust out her hand, snapped her fingers in Tamar's face and patted her. It happened very quickly, but I managed to get in a sharp, "Don't, she is very timid." My mistake for taking Tamar, I know, but people can be so forward where dogs (and babies) are concerned.

Even if he tried, all the other neighbours are on my side. To show how petty he is, I have put a bowl of water for the birds because they are thirsty, the last two days, he has emptied the bowl & thrown it into the bushes, the guy is a sociopath. Nasty piece of work. Ignore Ignore Ignore. With these sorts of people, no amount of "being nice" or just simple politeness works.

. 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.
