Loving my Oldies

The receptionist should have told him to put his dog on a lead or wait in the car and she would call him when it was his turn. Most places have signs up saying that dogs should be on a lead and cats in crates.

I was making a list for what I needed to do in the garden and couldn't for the life of me remember Cordylines. I have lots of them and a couple in pots I need to transplant into the garden. Eventually popped into my head when I'd stopped OMG OMG I'm losing it

Perhaps you need to let Pets Purgatory know the price that K-Mart sells SWF.

That reminds me of a lawyers question to a witness: How could you tell the victim was dead? Pathologist: Because his brain was in a dish on the bench. I have to say that when I see a foster poo for the first time, I go racing down to see if there are any wrigglies in it Slightly off topic, sorry, but the lawyer story is so funny and apparently was from a real case.. ...as quoted below from the court recorder; Q: Doctor, before you performed the autopsy, did you check for a pulse? A: No. Q: Did you check for blood pressure? A: No. Q: Did you check for breathing? A: No. Q: So, then it is possible that the patient was alive when you began the autopsy? A: No. Q: How can you be so sure, Doctor? A: Because his brain was sitting on my desk in a jar. Q: But could the patient have still been alive, nevertheless? A: Yes, it is possible that he could have been alive and practicing law somewhere. Sorry for stealing the thread, hope you have a good laugh. OT Again . I was sent a heap the other day and just about made my dogs orphans, I was laughing so much.

Big Dog .

More people should be desexed than dogs :p

Yes, "my dog and me" is correct in that instance - LOL. I won't go into the details of subjective case and objective case ;) ;) , but a quick way to work out whether you use "I" or "me" is to take away the other part of the phrase, in this case "my dog and". You wouldn't say: I cannot thank and praise the volunteers at Duthie Park Dog Obedience enough for all the help they have given I..... The sentence can be constructed differently to show where "My dog and I" is correct: My dog and I have become a great team, thanks to the volunteers at Duthie Park Dog Obedience enough for all the help they have given. In the first sentence, objective case; in the second sentence, subjective case. Here endeth the lesson and congratulations for getting published. :p

Congratulations :p . (.... "my dog and me" would be correct in some instances, eg something something for my dog and me. LOL )

Where do you get the cobwebs? Aren't I a baitch - LOL. That is absolutely awesome !! Wish you lived around the corner from me :D . I can hardly hammer in a nail, successfully that is.

Sadly, they so often do. However, you have been given plenty of good ideas by the people who aren't interested in soley their own concerns, so hopefully that helped. Ditto. Yep totally EVIL. I hope she and her hubby manage a holiday this year with no kids within 1000km.

I am so tired of the attitude of some people that if something doesn't cater for them, that something is just plain wrong and/or discriminating against them and should be punished. If I go into a nightclub and it is filled with young people being young, rowdy, uninhibited, and I don't like it because it doesn't suit me, is that place discriminating against me? No, I chose to go into a place that wasn't suitable for my age group and requirements. So if there is any fault, it is with me. So if an accommodation place wants to set itself up as dog friendly, no children please, if anyone with children wants to go there and feels slighted because they can't - well tough cheddar. The majority of places are PET free and to have some that are opening up specifically to cater for people who want to holiday with their pets is just great. In my opinion, in all facets of life and social relations, anti discrimination has gone too far.

Lovely update, slk. Time soon for a pic of the two bonding ones?

A shovel and the long drop even better - more environmentally friendly :D

You won't have any choice :D . They'll just jump on your lap whether you have the room or not. You should see me trying to take a kip on the lounge or watch the tennis with six (Sari hasn't learnt yet) dogs leaping up around me :D

It's called Market Research, Chewbacca.

I was thinking about this thread this morning as I was trying to move around the house with between 4 and 7 dogs at my heels. I apologised to them for shutting them out of the bathroom as I needed "to be alone" without many paws scratching my bare legs . Years ago, I used to go to Hawthorn Parade (where Cafe Bones is in Sydney) and I used to see these women (always women - sorry ) coming into the park with 4, 5, 6 dogs trailing along behind them. I used to watch them in awe and a little, umm, wonderingly .... to put it kindly. However, by the time I left the Inner West, I had become one of those women with: Danny, Jeune, Tamar, Gong Zhu and Tirra trailing behind me. So ...... I guess I'm GLAD I didn't know that was going to happen when I got my first dog. :D :D

:D :D

Sounds spiffing, spiff ;) . You just need to put your advertisement with "All Advertisers" on this forum so we know where you are. Get ready, mate, you are going to be inundated. ;)

I dont think Wendy was intentional but the worry is that some people want to create lines with this mutant gene, and it would be a very bad thing. Those are not healthy dogs. On the Blog site, someone wanted to breed her with a pit bull - s**t for brains, I guess, is pretty common.

Few thoughts: Vaccination Records: Do you request that up to date vaccination records be sighted? Insurance Cover: Does your insurance cover anyone/anything damaged in case of dog fight, eg furniture knocked over, someone bitten trying to break up a fight, any damage to neighbouring properties, livestock. Check list for guests: Do you have a check list for people who bring their dogs: eg all waste must be correctly disposed of, all dogs to be on leads when entering and leaving the property, any accidents in the rooms must be immediately attended to and cleaned. There would be a quite a few more, but that's all I can think of at the moment. Congratulations on helping people to holiday with their pets.

A pound is not a rescue facility. Delving into the depths of my memory, I believe Logan Pound was one of the first pounds to actually have a website. I remember reading about it in Dogs Life! many years ago and being absolutely gobsmacked at the innovation. What an absolutely pathetic argument to say the bidding system was introduced to stop BYB and Puppy Millers. Typical of politicians. As plenty have said: if you want to stop the Puppy Millers and BYBers, desex the animals.

I think so too. Put the cat close to the defendant, if the cat hisses, or scratches, or takes off at 60ks an hour: GUILTY AS CHARGED !! Save a lot of money and a lot of time. ;)

More frightening than a batallion of Wendys are the comments on this site. Every second word is "F**K" and every second person is called a moron. Just horrendous. ;)

What! lol Yep, sadly that is true. The vet I had when I first got dogs used to tell me that. Also if a dog/cat/animal was brought in who had obviously been sick for ages (but just got sick that day of course) and no amount of veterinary skill was going to save the poor creature, the people would just not pay the account: You didn't save my dog, why should I pay you? Not all cuddles and smooches working with animals.
