Loving my Oldies

Well you know what waiting did last time.. I would be out there on their doorstep.

What a sad and terrible thing to have happened . I hope Lilli continues to get well and eventual manages to put her fears behind her. I sincerely hope you find Larry. Blessings to the farmer who helped Lilli.

Yes where is everyone Hopefully not bothering about DOL, but getting ready to snatch the boy away to a new and better life :) :)

The wheel has already been invented - LOL. If you are deadset on establishing yet another rescue group, talk (as in pick up the phone) to those already long established.

My advice: don't replicate what is aleady happening and thin out already scarce resources. Offer to help already existing rescue groups who have been in the business for a long time: http://www.dolforums.com.au/topic/243719-act-animal-rescue-aar/

Princess wins the lottery for a second time: first being rescued by K9, secondly by finding the perfect home. The photo of her scaring :laugh: :laugh: Takoda is excellent. Well done, K9.

So do we know who is No 1 on the EOI at Blacktown for the Skye Boy? Only one more day there for him. I know that if I'd been "bidding" for him, I'd be on the phone to Blacktown just to make sure that my name was still there and that all was tracking well for a very early springing of him.

There would be more variety and expertise at a nursery. Water cress is delicious. Mustard and cress, too. I think with hydroponics there is fertiliser running through the water.

Poor baby . It could be the medication as well upsetting her tummy. I know from past experience (and bitter regret), that it is best to go to the vet than to not, when a behaviour is of concern. As a vet once said to me: the owner knows the dog better than anyone and if they think there is someone not right, then that is probably the case. It might be anything from "nothing to worry about" to life threatening. Best to go to the vet. With your dog who is barking, Kavik, my Danny starting growling some time ago. He sleeps on my bed and growls if I or any of the other dogs move; he growls when any of the other dogs jump up onto the bed or jump off. He gets so bad sometimes, that I have to put the light on and give him a good shake to bring him out of it. And then he looks at me as though he is saying, "Huh, what's up?" I have put it down to old age, because blood tests and examinations haven't shown anything. He is also barking more often - at birds, at people passing by (he can't get to the front fence though) and generally if anything disturbs him.

Well, I don't have anything constructive to add, except that I have had two little dogs who would disappear into the bedroom and under the bed from time to time. One I still have and one has long since gone to god. I put it down to the "Greta Factor" - ie I want to be alone :laugh: and/or just a nice little cave situation, because none of the lounge chairs or couches are high enough for them to get under.

Sounds dreadful, P_S. I hope you are a quick healer. Don't forget we want pix of the lime green cast with Pei Prints.

I feel sick - LOL. I was watching it thinking about the thread on Off Topic about these little robots. At first, the house looked soooo gorgeous . . . . . . . . . .

Welcome back and congratulations for bringing such a heartstopper into your life. Omar looks a real character. I always had a giggle at your signature photograph and am so sorry to hear that Turtle has crossed the bridge. As you say, he will always be with you.

Tie her ears together on top of her head with a soft scrunchie.

Like your thinking, Aphra :laugh: :laugh:

Oh that is just terrible, Ams. Poor P_S. Doesn't she already have some not so good ramifications of a previous injury, or am I getting her mixed up with someone else? Please let her know we are thinking of her and wishing her a speedy recovery.

You have yourself a stunningly beautiful girl there, Tarope. Congratulations on rescuing her and as SamiSam says: may you have many many years together.

I think it probably isn't submission in cases like this: I think it is more to put the other dog at ease and to show that they (the belly crawler LOL) isn't a threat.

I thought I'd post this because some people are disappointed with their experiences and it is always a good thing to have the other side of the coin :) . Following on from a couple of topics about the unknown histories of our dogs and despite having Danny for nearly 11 years, I sent an email about him to a Finnish Spitz breeder. Although the pound Danny was in said he was a Pomeranian cross, I decided that he was a Spitz cross and googling convinced me that he was a Finnish Spitz cross. I have often wondered where on earth he could have come from because there can't be all that many Finnish Spitz breeders in Australia. Remember I am going back nearly 11 years and 2-3 before that for when he was born. So .... about a week ago, I checked on the DOL Breeders lists and sent an email to one listed there telling them about Danny, attaching a couple of photos and asking for their opinion as to whether they thought he was part Finnish Spitz. I received a long and lovely email back from them, even suggesting we could meet when they come to the Royal Easter Show next year. Oh, and they are pretty sure that Danny is more Finnish Spitz than anything else :laugh: .

Well, I'm sure glad you happened along for the "little unwanted" because he now has a perfect home!

A pomeranian He's a biggie! I thought he might have been a Spitz.

Now that is one handsome little lad. But he isn't a Cocker :laugh: :laugh:

Probably a few things going on depending on the situation. Hey, ya wanna play? Hey, I'm bigger and older than you, but I'm no threat. Jeez, you are a big and scary dog, but I still want to play with you. Common mate!! :laugh: :laugh:

Now that's a radical new observation !!!

How is the Monk going? What an adorable pup !! Would love to see more of him
