Loving my Oldies

Vale Fleming. Deepest sympathies for your loss, MadWoofter. :heart:

So sad to read this, MadWoofter. I don’t have any additional advice to that given, but you and Fleming are in my thoughts. Danny’s deterioration was fairly rapid, but over a few months, not weeks. He was 17 and a half and also had a variety of conditions all being managed very well until the last week. Hopefully you will have Fleming with you for a little while yet.

Ha ha - that is priceless. Gave me a good laugh. :laugh:

I had to google because memory was letting me down. I always thought that the wife of ex Pres Gorbachev of Russia had a very pretty name and they did seem to be very attached and fond of each other ...... Raisa.

:( How the hell am I going to get that out of my head now. One of my all time favourites. :laugh: :laugh:

Gosh - my heart is about to explode. Dogs are such exquisite creatures.

Haha its enjoyable researching but also scary. :) We have only ever owned 2 breeds - Rottweilers and Staffordshire Bull Terriers - both lovely breeds that we will always have soft spots for. Its really hard trying to settle on a new breed ...one we do the right thing by and can fit to our current lifestyle. Not too big, not too small. One we can do some obedience and endurance with, maybe some showing, take away on holidays, something the public isn't generally wary. Also one that has an easy care coat or one that we can learn to properly clip Scroll through PetRescue and you will find a squillion to fit your requirements :) :) :)

You snuck a whippet in there.

Big beautiful black'n'tan babies.

So beautiful. Always in our hearts.

dogs and body language :rofl:

Oh my, Boronia. She is sooooo gorgeous. I am sure she will get to work, as K demands, and bring love and laughter back into your life. Already she sounds a great personality and a worthy follower of very large pawprints. Well done for both of you. :love:

I am sorry to hear that, JayGee. Danny was a cross breed, but obviously part Finnish Spitz. His body coat colour was still a glorious red, albeit shot through with grey. Have you posted a photo of Benny?

That was my immediate thought, but I was too polite :rofl:

On no!!! Criminal. :laugh: :laugh: Hard to tell from photos. What does she weigh? That colour speckling makes me think of Pointer.

This is the problem (as I see it anyway :) ) with statistics. Fine until YOU are the 1 in 100,000. Going OT, naturally :D , if something is used for the greater good when it badly affects someone or something, then it behoves society to recognise that and provide for those affected. I’m off to the dictionary for ototoxic.

Thank you ladies. It is hard to believe he is gone. I was just sitting here at the computer thinking how soft his fur was. Because it was a bit spiky looking, you’d have thought it would be a bit rough, but it was so very soft. I loved cuddling him.

Goodbye you special little Macster Being with Penny and Daisy will make you young and whole again racing around over The Bridge.

More tears from me, Boronia. I can’t imagine how many you have shed .... and you still think of others. Bless you my dear and all your Westie Besties.

How wonderful, Loba. Your update moved me to tears. I came across TTouch some years ago and found it quite extraordinary. I really must get back to using it on one of my littlies who is very timid. Good luck for continued improvement. :thumbsup:

:shrug: Me too and sorry to see them deleted as they were helpful and insightful.

Know the feeling Yep, been there got the t-shirt too. Very disappointed to see you join in this silliness, Little Gifts.

What about a t-shirt for yourself saying “Rescue a Pound Pet” or “Rehome a Rescue” or something that appeals to you.

I hope you get only three applications for adoptions so doggies can spend the rest of their lives playing with siblings. :D :D

Oh Boronia, they were such amazing little dogs, full of personality and joy of living ...... best of all, living with you. (Such a tragic story behind Daisy's and Mac's adoption :cry: , but wonderful that you were there.) Your loss is enormous and such a shock. May you and Mac have extra cuddles and time to grieve. Deepest and sincerest condolences - quite overwhelmed :cry: :flower:
