Loving my Oldies

That’s wonderful. Should be more of it. I know it is an island and therefore somewhat different, in fact very different, from the mainland, but it just goes to show what can be done when there is a will. Our country (our world) needs more of this will.

Canetoad, those photographs are amazing in the true sense of the word. I reckon you could sell them to a travel agency, even National Geographic. Absolutely stunning. And then there are the dogs . . . . . .

They recover very quickly - LOL. And if they overdo it and feel a bit of pain, they learn very quickly too.

I was going to say much the same. Thrilled for your Aunt and Betty. Just a thought: maybe you could have her clipped and groomed before the dental and desexing as you will need to wait approx 10 days before being able to bath her --- stitches and all that. Looking forward to see the two girls happy together

Good Poppy. Teach her to fart at the same time.

I would have slapped his hand away. That’s stupid on so many counts. Such an imposition. It’s like people who think they can pat “baby bumps”.

Poor darling. "Lease issues" - the dog is probably 10 times cleaner, nicer and loving than the owners of the property :mad I read it as they were renting and the home owner may not have wanted dogs (which they are entitled to)so they have surrendered her. If this is the case then that's what makes me angry. That’s what I mean, Hazy, and what makes me very angry as well. The owner of the property probably needs cleaning up, not the dog or the renters. Reminds me of the taxi drivers (and their taxies) who refused to carry dogs. It is a bit better today, but in the days when I was taking taxies regularly, they used to make me sick just to have to sit in them. (Off Topic sorry.)

Stop grinding it up and just give it to her in a couple of little cut bits. Even a tiny tablet ground up makes a lot of powder to be disguised - almost impossible. I have discovered that my dogs love Cream Cheese and the tablets are just wolfed down.

Of course he is innocent. :eek: :laugh: :laugh: He is a puppy

Ditto and how it suits a little Pug.

LOL --- anything to prevent 4am activities.

I read that with tears of relief in my eyes. Definitely thrilling news. Go Pudding :thumbsup:

Wishing Pudding all the best. Sounds as though she is in very good hands.

What a shocking harrowing time for you and the doggies. You must be exhausted from the terrifying emotions. Hopefully you will all make a complete recovery.

Huge changes are taking place in a person's body and mind in those years. I know as I am there myself (except for the fit part ). Lots of people fall off the twig between the ages of 65 and 75, people you would think would go on forever. I'd be sending him to the doctor. Don't forget there are huge numbers of assistance dogs now for people who suffer from all sorts of medical issues whereby the dogs senses if that person is going to have an episode.

This was my first thought.

Still the personality boy . I was awakened this morning by Danny teetering on the edge of the bed, desperate to go to the toilet, but frightened of the height. Mumma to the rescue. Nothing gets me out of bed faster than Danny needing help. :eek:

No advice, just want to say good luck with your new little dog. You sound super caring and committed and well on top of all that is necessary. No dog could ask for more.

A friend of mine sent me a newspaper from Cunnamulla where I lived for a couple of years as a child. The house we lived in was a great big Queenslander and the house today, all renovated, is for sale at $285,000 !! Yes indeed. How is our Wonder Westie?

That photograph is totally wonderful, WM. A day to be remembered indeed.

I've found that the only food I can rely on for giving tablets to my Danny is Kraft Cream Cheese Spread - not the Lite one though as that doesn't have any flavour. On the occasions when Danny does turn his nose up at this, I just smear it on the roof of his mouth and because it is thick by the time he tries to get it out, he has swallowed it all.

Isn't it just! Beautiful. And the model would be the star of any catwalk.

If I'd known you were having troubles, I'd have added a lot more :laugh: I imagine Mac has been doing a lot of this after all the excitement :sleep: :sleep:
