Loving my Oldies

You did well, but I wonder how long they will last.

;) :cry: Good one. Another person who thinks this story is a good one. The woman "Gave her a good walloping for killing a chook." What is funny about that.

:D Lovely story! :D Really :D . So NOT a lovely story.

I agree. There must be a better way for a civilised society to handle this problem. Are any animal welfare leagues/organisations objecting? The usual short sighted, bludgeon approach by people who haven't an innovative or new idea between them. No animal deserves to die from these cruel procedures. And what about collateral kill? If councils don't care enough to stop the killing of thousands of innocents lives, they are not going to care about "feral" animals.

You definitely are and I am coming to get Emmy IMMEDIATELY. Sorry I can't take Charlie as Danny is already upset at the boys I am bringing into the household. I have from time to time closed doors and dogs have been shut in rooms, but that is their fault I once shut one of the dogs in a walk in cupboard, but again, her fault intirely. I have on a few occasions forgotten to feed Gussy Cat, but she should have learnt to bark. I have on occaions given a dog a bad hair cut, but she shouldn't let her hair grow. Etc Etc. Nope, not my fault at all.

I'll just have the fruit thanks. Happy to share any with Jed. 'Morning Jed. Bed is a good place to be on a day like today, at least where I am. Snuggle up and let yourself heal.

What a story and what a beautiful photograph. I hope someone coughs up the money. Maybe Fergie could give some of the 40,000pounds.

What a smart girl: the puppy makes her feel better. Love it.

What a hugely sad sad thing to have happened, Biafra :rolleyes: . You all must be just so devastated. No point in telling you not to blame yourself: you will and you will go through all the "what ifs" a thousand times over. As dyzney says: it was just an awful accident. They happen and people are left shocked and bereft and wondering why. There aren't any answers really. Sincerest condolences to you and your family. Phoebe.

Maybe that is something they will need to consider.

Naughty Jed! You know we all want to give you real hugs so you can feel the warmth and love, and hear all the good wishes coming from hundreds and hundreds of people around the world. Keep going girl. The design of a special bag is in the planning so ChiChi can be smuggled in. :rolleyes:

What is there to investigate, I wonder? Whether or not there ARE owners, I suppose and just terminology or not expressing it all very well. My sympathies to the camels, the owners and the riders. It would have been terrifying - you are pretty high up when you are on a camel

Noisy, you just start another one

Have a look at AMS thread about questions and see her answers. I will find the thread and link it here. http://www.dolforums.com.au/index.php?showtopic=196236

You just need to click on an unlit candle and follow the instructions. What unlit candle where?? I've been clicking on candles but nothing happens (except maybe for some pictures that then come up as enlargements ) When you are on the website, you will see lit candles and also candles where the wick hasn't been lit. The lit candles are all different lengths (heights) because they "burn" down for 48 hours, but the unlit candles are all full height. Click on the wick of an unlit candle and follow the steps. If there aren't any unlit candles on the first page, just go to the bottom of the page and click on Next. This will take you to the next page where there are sure to be some unlit candles.

Amazing update!! 'Bout bl***dy time, Jed. Now when do you want me to smuggle ChiChi in? To excited to eat any of the goodies, but happy to share this . Mother and her Moochers are very very very happy to hear such a wonderful prognosis. Also very aware of the terrible grief that Jed is going to have to work her way through and for that we can only send our best and sincere condolences and recognition of the enormous losses

Deck: I have hooks on the deck for the dogs leads - they get too smelly to be hung inside. Laundry: I have a basket with all their bushes, combs, shampoos etc in the laundry. Study: All their bedding is in a cupboard in the study and their coats are in a basket on top of the cupboard in the study. Kitchen: One cupboard section in the kitchen is for storing their dried food, treats, bowls, etc. Deck: Their toys and bones are rounded up each evening and thrown into a basket on the deck. Living Area: I have bedding for them in the living area and in the study and this is gathered up and washed every few days. No wonder my water use is going through the roof So reading back over that, it seems as though the house is pretty well designed around the dogs . Not exactly a joke as the main requirement for when I was looking for a new house was that it had a large yard for the dogs to sniff around and for me to garden and if not a deck already built, the room to add one. Edited: Garage: (I forgot the garage) Spare leads and crates. Gussy Cat's beds and food.

What is the background, that is the story behind bully being taken to pound, how close were they, who was bully, how long was he there, etc etc.

I'm happy to put my hand up for the smuggling into hospital job, but ChiChi may not make it back to her foster mum's house -

To be honest, I haven't lit a real one; I just keep returning to the website for the virtual one. Having had my own fire a couple of days after Jed's in which no real damage done, (but I have already paid out nearly $7,500 - hopefully the insurance company will be as fast at paying bills as I am - replacing metres, etc) the idea of even a little candle burning is too scary for words. http://www.dolforums.com.au/index.php?showtopic=195996

One of the reasons I like Optrex is that dogs get dust and muck in their eyes as well and they end up liking having their eyes washed. I don't even use the Optrex all the time; I regularly wipe their eyes with cotton wool balls soaked in just warm water.

CW EW, Mufti's very own thread: http://www.dolforums.com.au/index.php?showtopic=192107

And Optrex eye wash from the chemist. It lasts for ages.

I'll PM you my address so you can do that for my house as well. It's like a waiting room too ..... six dogs waiting to be taken for a walk. I'm sure Jed won't begrudge your using your magical powers for such a good cause, ie less time taken up cleaning house means more time spent with my dogs - LOL.
