Loving my Oldies

#2 .. First World Problem Info about the newest Dyson cordless ($899) popped into my emails the other day, so I’ll be watching what people have to say. From what I’ve read in the past, it is either love them or hate them.

One decision in 2016 to help out leads to a whole new adventure Your [not so] new girl does look a bit GSD, but very beautiful. Lovely update, thank you.

Deepest sympathies to you and Andy, WM. Such a dearest girl Sarah was and so loved. Her passing leaves yet another huge gap in your heart and soul.

OMG! I feel your pain, K . I’ve had tiny little dogs too and, although I live in the city, some of the crows I’d see were bigger than a couple of my dogs.

How beautiful. Secret is still tiny!!

You said, “I can sort of understand.....”. No, it is incomprehensible.

Totally agree. What an example for the children.

The world needs more of you and your wisdom and compassion

That is brilliant.

Really!! Think on this. Would you put your dog in a small carry-on crate and then shut him up in a drawer in your bedroom cupboard?

Absolutely. Why on earth did no other passenger intervene? Just beyond understanding.

Yes, the airline and the flight attendant need to be seriously seriously punished, but who in their right mind would put a puppy in an overhead locker? You’d have to have a few marbles missing to even think for a second they’d be ventilated. This is horrible and that poor little dog; it makes me feel sick. What on earth were the other customers thinking ... they heard the dog barking. What is wrong with people? Everyone is at fault here.

As you already recognise you have an anger problem and are inflicting pain via the prong when you get frustrated, seek help before you do some serious harm.

I don’t think that is sounding negative at all . It says it like it is when we have elderly/ill/recovering pets - both management and coping. I had to keep a torch in my bedside cupboard when I had Orla because of her toileting habits . Wooden floors don’t show up what might be lying in wait for the unsuspecting foot. Particularly if you are stumbling out of bed without glasses and having been woken from a deep deep sleep.

Well [hands on hips and pouting] get ya butt in here Westiemum.

LOL. It is a work day, I think, so I managed to control my curiosity. I confess, I thought about this and wondered how @westiemum and Sarah managed.

I would have thought the scrambled egg, butter and cheese a bit rich. I always have rice and puréed vegetables to mix in with the dog food. Funnily enough, Jeune has started to ask for midnight snacks. Luckily she and Tamar still have no difficulty getting on and off the bed (they jump off and use the stairs to get back on) so no problems re toileting through the night. If you wanted to give her egg, what about hard boiled and mashed up in rice. Keep us posted as to what you do and how it turns out.

@Maddy you are so right, but your post makes me feel so sad for the dogs. The owner of that a Great Dane needs a kick up the backside for allowing the dog to be placed into such a position. And don’t get me started on the stupid other man.

Orla (now gone to god ) had these and the relief was almost immediate. Mezza has just finished .... and made not a jot of difference. But, of course, knowing they were available, I had to try. So, yes: can be different result for different dogs.

Thanks for that. He is totally adorable. He nearly had a brother An identical boy popped up on a FB page the other day. I nearly fell off my chair and even took details thinking I might ring the pound. I need another dog like a hole in the head, but I knew Mezza would love a little playmate. Luckily, the little guy popped back up with a note saying his owners had found him and he’d gone home.

All goes very well here although Mezza and Tamar are still not playing . But he and I have tuggy toy games and ball games; he loves it when I chase him around the house trying to grab the rope toy or ball And I am finally NOT kidding myself with wishful thinking. Mezza’s hair around the base of his tail and his back IS growing back. The pink area was quite a violent pink and had the barest minimum of fuzz on it. Now normal colour and a lot of much longer hair. Very pleased. IMG_0708 by Cynthia Waters, on Flickr IMG_0707 by Cynthia Waters, on Flickr IMG_0706 by Cynthia Waters, on Flickr

Scary scary, particularly with blood in the vomit. So relieved that all is well now. I bet you lost a bit of weight too!!

Why do you want to close down or delete this thread? DOLers invest a lot of time and emotion and, most of all, caring into their responses and thoughts and good wishes. Dogs and their owners become part of this community; we want to know the outcomes because we do care and also because this sort of discussion may help another little dog down the track. We would like to know what the answers are and what has happened to your little Pomeranian. Here is my little guy, adopted from a pound just over 5 weeks ago ...... just to show that we can relate and know the anguish you are going through. IMG_0663 by Cynthia Waters, on Flickr

A peaceful passing with his loved and loving human there with him. Deepest condolences, Karjirin. faithful Scout.
