just hope dog is now not permanently locked in his yard

Ours has always been on a table :)

*nods* OK.. a couple of paintbrushes, a spray can , and some little pots of differently coloured,bright, metallic/glittery paint ! :) rainbow /psychedelic muzzles !!!!

...ermmm .. weird/unkind comments? As a teen living in the 'burbs, I had a Xbreed grey bunny, called Lionel. Most evenings, I would attach a long lead to his collar, and we would go up & down the street . It attracted some interesting observations :p

yes..it is sad ...mind you, we were'country' .. so large roo dogs etc were not uncommon ..but he still looked a bit overwhelming. Could your guys maybe have a vest wardrobe ..with all sorts of cutesy/decorative patterns ? Folks might see that , and check it out, while their brains are assimilating "large dog/not barking/not running /may be ok/" info ?

That is just lovely!! Thank you :)

It's heaps better than the boring name he had when he came to live with us ..poor bruce ..he had a rough start ... I was not told of his habit of knocking people over .... until one day, he tried it on me Reflexes kicked in ..and I grabbed one ear really hard, twisted, and hung on tight ... yes, it did hurt! He was careful after that ....I introduced 'Collie' to him, and he very soon learnt what it felt like to be on the receiving end !! :)

Fingers crossed he is feeling happier very soon :)

:) Reminds me ('scuse the sidetrack) Kieran was BIG , and brindle ... and he often got looked at thru fearful eyes ... so.. ...bought him a really wide ,bright red collar , painted bright flowers & things all around it , and then bought a good sized metal teddy bear shape , and hung it low off his collar .... so there was a big brindle dog, with flowers & a teddy bear :) The kids adored him ...and their mums weren't as anxious :) edit: OMG. an apostophe catastrophe

yep.. I have not listened to it again.

I don't think what the op said was nasty or harsh , however the second comment would have stung me badly ..... that's all. :)

reply..................... "Oh, Thank you :) I just knew I had to buy a new red globe for that outside light :) "

:) :)

Only that much ?????

Thank you . :)

into the D O L archives!!!! :D

When walking Kieran ( 36 " and 42 kg) The "horse/saddle" comments were very common :)

... people often say something like that ..he was obviously staring, and thought he'd best say something ..and it is a handful ! While I don't think your reply was 'nasty'... an enigmatic smile may have sufficed :)

Thanks, Raineth :)

..has she had blood tests or whatever to test for inflammation .... autoimmune problems?
