yes.

No -I hate football - but couldn't resist:P Thank goodness fit that!!! I got worried when I saw their names! :D

*snicker* :) It's true ..I often do go to move, & can't

From the Op's first post ...

often when I'm taking photos , I seem to spend quite a long time absorbed in a particular something which interests me - then, when I am ready for change , it is as if there is a weight on me, making it difficult to move on ......

Ohhh ;) Stan needs someone to pass his tricks on to ...

;) you see mainly the better ones , don't forget , but thankyou. I constantly play :)

There are only a couple of pics of "Plonk" (from the slang for some alcohol- he was brought home as a pup along with the booze supply) he was an ACD X, and my guardian/playmate for my first 4 years . No one except my mum could take me from my pram or playpen ....and he saved me from snakes at least once . yes, I do have memories of him - mainly me pouring 'mud pies' into his ears because he wouldn't eat them dear Plonk.....

Collie wee'd in it in the house, does that count? yet another purpose!! ;)

ha! perfect :) next trick - teach them to fold it up ;)

..and some playing in the garden jungle before lunch ;)

Thanks - they're pretty good, these two :) Time now for a session of crazies, I think :)

Our guys do get chained ... yes. It is a necessary part of their life when we cannot watch them, when they are working way out bush , or on other properties .... So, today was the kids' turn.. They are doing amazingly well :) From now on .. 'big' treats are only available after that chain is clicked on ;) Don ate his chicken thigh , climbed on his cushion ...... photo is 20 minutes in . Ess ate her chicken happily ..then stood stock still until I showed her that she could still move , demolish a tub of yoghurt ..and lie down with her favourite pink pig ...

That photo! - just wonderful :)

;) seems to me as if she has a full belly , and feels GOOD ,so she wants to play . You may find that if she has a bone to chew , that will give her something to do ? A decent bone can take many, many minutes to properly chew .... and it uses up energy , plus releases those 'feel good' hormones humans get from exercise (or chocolate ) ;)

It's Brightside in Tassie dogmad. I've been drooling over Horse the greyhound down there for a while. that photo!!! Stop drooling, and DO it :p

That does look very stressed :p :D :D

this insect is now forever digitally preserved in amber , a la Jurassic Park ;) It was just floating on top of the birdbath water .................. ;) Ok- humour me , thankyou :)
