I named a rescue foster Border Collie pup Timmy, after the dog from the Famous Five... he was an awesome dog! MUP has the best name for her dog... Maybe... ripper name! T.

Yep, just begging for trouble. Speaking of which I'd not give a dog a 'naughty' name.... asking for the dog to live up to it. My Lab is named Trouble... and that was a self fulfilling prophecy... *grin* T.

Our farm dog when I was in high school was named "The Goose" I just named one of my red cattle foster pups "Felony"... named after a friend's dog who looked very similar... my Felony is so cute it's criminal... *grin* The best names ever are given to the rescue dogs at Fetching Dogs... all very unusual but awesome names... I named a champagne coloured rescue poodle pup Moet once... and no-one enquiring about her could pronounce it... somehow I don't think many of them had ever drunk it either... lol! I have to come up with names for the following in the next few weeks... 5 Boxer cross pups - 4 girls and 1 boy 3 Bull Terrier pups - 2 girls and 1 boy 1 Rotti cross pup - boy 3 small breed cross pups - 2 boys and 1 girl ... and possibly 11 Bull Arab cross pups - don't know the sexes of those yet. But already have named 2 ACD pups (Bonnie and Clyde), 3 Heeler pups (Felony, Charm, and Ned Kelly), 1 GSD cross pup (Gemma), 2 Shar Pei cross pups (Percy and Pluto), and 1 Kelpie/Whippet pup (Tarni)... all in the past week! I'm going to aim for slightly quirky or unusual names for the currently nameless ones... but it ain't gonna be easy remembering who is who... aarrgghh! T.

mita - I'm happy for cute furkids to scratch and nibble me... all in a good cause... lol! LG - we should still have these guys the following weekend... *grin* T.

you know you only have them until Saturday lillypilly... they are then coming home with me... *grin* T.

Hahaha! Seems lillypilly couldn't wait for me to have sorted all of the fosters here before getting the BT pups pic up... enjoy the double up peeps... lol! T.

Here are the cuties that arrived today... how gorgeous are they? Many thanks to JaneyA for making room and holding them overnight so they could meet the wonderful Marshall for transport this morning. Thank you also to ninahartland and Rhonda for organising said transport. Without these wonderful people, none of this all could have been possible - true legends, all of them! T.

I Shudder to think what the Neurologists are going to think when they see my altered sensation leg next Tuesday - bruises and scratches that I really didn't feel happening... errr! And the little turds seem to have beelined for that leg in particular... lol! T.

That first shot is definitely a print out and hang on the wall one... awesome! T.

Well - I'm just the biggest dog fan ever. I really am not fussed whether they be from great lines, or just regular run-of-the-mill mutts... I'm up for cuddling them ALL! T. ETA - I currently have 10 rescue foster puppies at home, but that didn't stop me going to the Sydney Royal to cheer on my friend's 2 purebreds... and we weren't disappointed... *grin*

I had a Rotti named Woosie, and have a Labrador named Trouble... *grin* If YOU like the name, who cares if other people don't? T.

Ummm... I think you'll find that the dog in question was pts by the people who "rescued" him from MUP... turns out that MUP was quite right in her summation of said dog and that he needed to be given his wings, but the "professionals" decided that as MUP was new to the game, they knew better and made a big deal of taking him on - and eventually had him destroyed anyways. So maybe we need to give MUP the benefit of the doubt on this issue, yes? T. I am going on how she treated the dog while the dog was with her. I suggest you reacquaint yourself with the threads in question. We can all learn from the things we didn't do to everyone else's expectations Sheridan... and you have to agree that MUP has come a hell of a long way since that first foray into rescue... T. ETA - and the other rescue that took the dog from MUP didn't exactly treat him any better IMHO...

I swear - I'm going to need a skin graft on both lower legs by the time these pups are ready to rehome... they have so much love to give that it actually hurts... lol! You want today's cute antic? Bonnie the ACD pup thinks she's a guard dog... lol! Zeddy decided to bark at someone going by this afternoon, and up pipes little Bonnie with her say on the matter... yip yip... *giggle*... Clyde, of course, just lay there and let the girls do all the "work"... *sigh* Oh - and Charm likes to stand her front feet in the water bowl to have a drink... then come racing over and jump all over you... aarrgghh! I needed muddy legs on top of all the scratches... *grin* T.

Better to ultrasound... the amniotic fluid is somewhat opaque on x-ray. T.

I'm giving heaps of notice... only need some pics on or around Friday... *grin* T.

Obviously someone who had access to your groomer's company's database at some point, and had taken the list once they left. T.

I think you've really summed it up beautifully DD... everything I wanted to say too... Rach - you are one of those people that makes others better people just by knowing you. T.

Well - Roo appears to approve of the new man in your lives... he might just be a keeper then... lol! Baby steps forward are still steps forward... and I think Roo has had a lot of changes lately, so any forward motion with regards to her behaviour can be taken as a positive, right? T.

The story about where the footage came from is that the property is up for sale, and the animal libbers went there posing as buyers... although how they got the diary footage is a mystery... it's not exactly stuff you'd show a prospective buyer of your property, is it? T.

Charm is pretty quiet BlueyLove - the blue stumpy tailed girl... *grin* T.

Please don't forget 4 week old photos on Friday... *grin* T.

No probs Chez - I really think they look very Boxer cross... lol! T.

We thought there were going to be 3 surrenders too - but ended up with only 2... maybe the owner rehomed one? As for the other 3 - I reckon Felony might actually be good at any dog sport you might want to enter her in - she is very attentive and willing to please. Charm is a bit softer and still a little bit timid, but is coming along nicely. Ned is just downright cheeky... *grin* T.

I have a nasty habit of "breaking" guard dogs by making friends with them through the fence... I got into big trouble once when I was caught giving one tummy rubs through the fence at a car yard... apparently it was really nasty and would supposedly take your arm off, and it's handler was scared of it. It was a really sweet dog (for me) actually... lol! The secret is chicken flavoured Smiths chips... lol! Haven't met a guard dog yet that doesn't like them. The funny part is that I haven't the slightest intention of burglarising - I just like patting dogs... feel free to call me crazy... T.
