Loving my Oldies

Hmm, I rather think pix are in order

Nah! Deshonko can get them out in a couple of days. I would like to see the result of this "mating" though

The story was on the news as well and they pups looked absolutely delightful. Lucky woman ;)

I find it hard to believe that the message hasn't reached everyone by now... I like to give people the benefit of the doubt, and maybe they honestly didn't know... So I wonder what more can be done, that hasn't already been done, to get the message out there. You'd certainly think so. If they have enough understanding of the legalities to open and run a business no matter what it is, you'd think they'd have enough understanding of the laws pertaining to Assistance Dogs. And cultural differences should be no excuse for breaking the laws. Frankly, I'd like to see the book thrown at people who put another obstacle in the way of people who require assistance.

I love the colours, not to keen on the nose, but love the little ballerina- on-point feet, but I might have to pass because I don't know that this one would fit in with the Teacup Sledders. Kissindra - how wonderful to see you

I hope you passed around the hat, the one you no longer need to wear - LOL. OMG, Jed. Your progress stories are harrowing enough to read ;), must be very difficult to live it. But your spirit is indomitable. There are people on this forum who need to be cloned . The world needs more of you.

What an incredible sight that would be ---- 17 very large puppies romping around the back yard. You wouldn't notice a lion or two provided for their enjoyment ;)

Do you have one that would fit a Terrier Mix, please, of 3.5 kilos? ;) . Absolutely gorgeous, Newfsie. You obviously have a wonderful way with all your dogs. Makes me think of the old [very ] Beatles song "All You Need is Love".

+1 ;)

Oh, she looks tiny beside her new brother - and her legs are super model legs.

Poor little tyke. Don't be offended by my signature . We all have to learn and good thing you have joined a forum where there are people with a wealth of knowledge and desire to help and positively educate. Lovely little dog.

All vets don't automatically give ABs for a desexing. That said, my vet generally keeps the girls in overnight and does give ABs. I'm glad you feel relieved and not sad anymore

Oh, look at that last pic. He is definitely plotting mischief Gorgeous little chap.

I'm still gritting my teeth about a so called friend who did this with me a couple of years ago. She didn't talk about her dog so much but rather what a wonderful fun afternoon she'd had and when she'd been her about an hour, she suddenly switched tack, put on her sad face and asked how was I doing. I said, "Not too well." She said, "Do you want to talk about it?" Me, "No." While staying away from the sorts of things not to say such as those mumof3 has listed, the main thing is to acknowledge the loss. You can't feel the way the person does, they know that and wouldn't expect it. But the person needs to have their loss acknowledged and the existence of whoever it is they have lost affirmed and eventually when the loss is not so raw, celebrated. When my first little dog died at 3 1/2, I couldn't talk about her for a year without the tears welling. I used to wonder how I could have lost something so precious to me. Several months after her death I went to a party and there was a man there who had been friendly with my neighbour and had met me and the dogs and he mentioned Calypso. I was delighted that he remembered her and we just reminisced.

That's fair enough, mumof3 - and a lot of people think that way. The difference is that you have made the right and ethical decision :D Get your fix of puppies here; you'll have to wade through a few of the flamers that you were worried about :D but Caz and seen and heard it all: http://www.dolforums.com.au/index.php?showtopic=211031

Or go into business with Deshonko. Make a squillion :D

Now THAT is the Christmas spirit. :D :D to this mystery person.

OMG OMG OMG Yes PLEEEEEEASSSSSSE. Although I did say couple was not an issue, but can't you just see 1/2 dozen of that colour and perhaps some red ones. OH BOY !! BINGO here I come No more boring old :D

I have had those fail on a couple of occasions and I have only small/toy dogs.

I am getting old and tyred [spelling intended :D ] so I don't have much energy. I know it was a while ago that you posted about them, Deshonko, but do you have any teacup Mallies around still? They would be perfect to get me to Bingo every second day and up to cash me pension check and then to the Pokies. I have something similar at the moment but she wouldn't run in harness and, really, I need more than one 2kg Mini Mallie to pull this 70kg of gorgeous flapping female flesh. Colour is not really important, because I am pretty spectacular, I just need them to be strong and colour blind because I don't believe in traffic lights. Oh, god!! I am so excited. I just envisage it: Hurtling down Pennant Hills Road, trying to keep within the speed limit, cars going in all directions as gasp in envy at this amazing vision, sirens blaring, horns blasting, pedestrians leaping out of my way. OOoooh, hurry up Deshonko.

Well I hope you won't get shot down in flames. I accept that some people feel sad about it, but thinking of what a "bitch is going to miss out on" is anthropomorphism at its highest :D . She isn't a human being who thinks about what she might have missed out in life. She has come from a breeder whom you respect and when anyone talks to you about her, you can carry your conversion further.

OMG - they are not being fed!! Puppy has to eat his foot

Good grief, that a pretty wild and wide assumption, FFB . They are sitting together . Considering how different in sizes these dogs are going to be and already are, I think it is pretty damned important that they have a bond. Their auras are merging MM

Oh boy - they are both gorgeous. Here's to a happy well adjusted puppy and Maltese.
