Loving my Oldies

To keep your candles burning as they go out after 48 hours: http://www.gratefulness.org/candles/candle...=eng&gi=DOL

Good morning Jed. I'm having a big bowl of muesli and banana and it is delicious. We are all looking forward to hearing that you are calling for your favourite breakfast too.

Wasn't the old man in The Beverly Hillbillies called Jed Clampett or something like that? Just so long as you wipe your feet after cleaning out the chook pens and the duckponds, Gaylek.

Shoot!! That can really be called going ahead in leaps and bounds. You must be so happy YG to see this confidence coming to the fore. I bet Kelpiehoundmum and Shannon will treasure the experience and photograph as well.

Brrrrrr ...... sure is warmer in here than at my place, even with the heaters blasting away. Hope Jed is nice and cosy. I reckon she'll just grab her drip line and run to the other end of the hospital with all the singing and the howling of the dogs. I haven't worn ear plugs since I lived on a six line highway in London, 1000 and one years ago. :p

Oh god, this is just so sad. People are trying to do the right thing by their dogs by taking them to off leash parks which are fenced and supposedly safe and these sorts of things happen. I sure hope the council catches up with those dreadful people.

Had to google, of course :p . Stunning.

Ooohhh, scrumptious too - can you smell them Jed? Can't wait to know you are happily munching on all sorts of yummies.

Just whip out the photograph album, Casowner. I can already see Jed starting to smile when you tell us the stories of the zoo plans and all the wonderful creatures you already have living with you.

Well Mufti is very happily eating his food with some tomato paste in it. I will be watching his little bott very carefully 1. To see if he stops biting (I know the paste isn't for that - LOL) 2. To see if it starts to fade. He is such a dear boy, he deserves to be pristine.

Now all you have to do is mount a fan on the front and she will think she is in the car. Every Lady deserves her Chariot.

Lordy, I hope Jane is feeling a damn sight better before she gets to these last posts; she is likely to have a relapse from laughing too much. I'm a bit worried about joining people in the waiting room unless I can have control of the remote

If people who care don't make things that worry them their business, the world would be a much worse place. Two highlighted pieces here. A lot of BYBs don't care about the age of a dog: they'll breed the poor things until they drop dead. The old owners are every bit as bad as the new owner for having so little care about their dog. If the new owner has been alerted to you and knows your voice and name, can't you get a friend to do all the contact and buying on your behalf? I know you don't feel you can rescue the dog personally, but maybe if you have a big think, you could. Then have all the necessary veterinary procedures undertaken and rehome her to an Irish Setter knowedgable person.

Good morning Jed. Listen woman, Autumn-Winter is the best time in Queensland and you are sleeping it away. And the candle wax we are all going through We will be arrested for causing an increase in global warming. You, your family, your amazing friends and much loved animals are constantly in our thoughts and hearts.

A few years ago, I was walking the dogs and Gussy Cat was trailing along behind us. A woman who was out with her daughter on her little tricycle greeted me and said something along the lines of: oh my husband told me there was a woman who walked her dogs and her cat. She doubted him until she saw me

I live in a very quiet area, but 50 metres down the road is a little group of shops one of which is a grooming palour. The husband and wife are breeders and showers of Standards and at last count I think they had about 12 or 13. They also help with rescue when they are able. So when it is time to realise your dream Blue Fox . . . . . .

Good morning Jed and all your wonderful friends and family. Beautiful photographs - thank you.

Thanks for the updates. First and last thing every day is to check here (and several times through the day). I wonder how the puppy who went to his new home that had already been arranged is faring?

Great news. Don't give up Goosey-G. Going up and down is pretty standard really. Once the corner is turned, the downs aren't as far down and the ups are higher - LOL. The little guy has lots of healing vibes coming his way.

I'd already taken Tamar, Jeune, Kisho and Danny. Sari usually comes with us, but she was stirred up and I couldn't get her lead on because she kept trying to bite me She had settled down when I returned from walking the others. And after walking Sari, I took Mufti out. He was amazing! Normally, Ijust go a few houses up the footpath and home again, but this time, he wanted to keep going and we actually went right around the block. I expected him to either keel over with a heart attack or to have to carry him home, but he bounded along like a two year old and wasn't even panting when we arrived home.

I can see Jazzy strolling out with her tail held high, nose in the air and poor CK looking a bit like a stunned mullet.

That's the point Golden Rules: I have six dogs Oooooh, I see! It's like you forgot to put both your shoes on then! Oh god!!! That's another story I'd rather forget ;)

Oh, I know they all think I'm a bit nuts - I gave up worrying about that a long long time ago .

That's the point Golden Rules: I have six dogs

I was walking Sari on her own and almost home when I saw one of my neighbours walking towards me with her old Golden Retriever. I waited at my driveway for them to reach me and as she came closer she said, "It doesn't look right seeing you with only one dog."
