Loving my Oldies

Can I read that without seeing any video footage?

No - go with the Canopy. Just make sure you have a couple of Punkah Wallahs walking alongside with their fans.

I want one for myself

I heard that (had my tv headphones on), but didn’t watch. I am filled with admiration for people who work in animal welfare overseas. It is bad enough here. What a wonderful life Pippin is now living.

Put a couple of plants in it and you can just say you are visiting a gardening friend . But honestly, if someone saw you pushing your little dog along in a trolley they would think you were wonderful.

LOL to you both. Even a teensy dog gets heavy after a short while. Little pusher close to the ground where the wonderful smells can still waft into little Pom's nose

LOL. Just saw this on FB:

One of my hobby horses, westiemum. Even in my virtually ignorant about dogs days I just intinctively knew that recommending little dogs for elderly people was a recipe for disaster. I am reasonably agile, but I couldn’t tell you the number of times I nearly fell over Danny because he stuck to me like glue. Years ago, I also had another dog whose favourite position was just behind me at my feet.

Being the slave to many littlies over the years, I have always been thrilled on the occasions that I could walk along and actually pat or touch the dog I was walking. Yep, I too, reckon that will be the case.

That is so bad - and sad. They should be pulling out all stops to get their dogs homed or rehomed.

I’d love to be a fly on the wall. The smiles won’t leave that couple’s faces for days. And I’ll bet the first thing they think of every morning will be, “How’s Bart? Where’s Bart?" Just beautiful.

You need to take ALL labelling with a grain of salt, teekay. While doing a short term job with a company who consulted to the makeup and alternative medicines industries, I learnt that “Not Tested on Animals” applied only to the finished product. That product still could contain items that had been tested on animals. So much dishonesty in every tiny facet of our lives.

This popped up on my FB feed. Needless to say, I did not look or read but wanted to ask if it was just a horrible horrible and cruel stunt and the dog wasn’t actually drowned. Is there no limit to the cruelty people want to pursue in the name of entertainment. Everyone there who did NOT go to the dog’s aid should be charged as accessories.

What has happened to more photos of Jimmy.

Wagga isn’t that far. Why not take a road trip?

At least you knew the neighbour was in hollering distance.

OMG that is the funniest thing ever.

If you are gone for 9 weeks, with having someone just come in to feed and water, he will soon go wandering. Perhaps you could consider a house sitter. I had an excellent experience with getting someone through Happy Housesitters, but that was several years ago and only two weeks. I have seen other people on this forum recommend them as well.

Had to laugh at this, mita. As that what I was to my precious Danny. I did have a ramp built several years ago, which none of the dogs uses to go down, but use to come up. Don’t ask! I don’t know . But he used to come up the ramp fairly easily. Jeune has NEVER used the ramp and she is now 16. I have noticed that she sometimes stands at the bottom of the stairs as though psyching herself up and then bolts up at a rate of knots. Pic of ramp below. My back yard certainly isn’t park-sized, but it is big enough for littlies to wander around sniffing.

Govts at any level couldn’t give a rat’s arse ----- no money there, you see. Different if the property was sitting on a coal seam.

This is heartbreaking. .

Bichons are beautiful little dogs. Great natures and grooming probably every 6-8 weeks. There will be plenty of people who disagree with me but I would not leave a little puppy alone (or adult dog - particularly toy breed - for that matter) for 10 hours a day.

Good news. Well done those on his case.

I don’t have dogs who are at all adventurous in terms of diet LOL. Coffee grinder is working well (because I can’t find thumbsup ).

I can't read the story . EVIL. EVIL. EVIL. It popped up in FB news too.
