No, the copyright remains with the person that took the photo. Even with proffessional photos that you pay for copies of you can not copy it in any form without the permission of the photographer. ieYou pay for the photo not the copyright. I work in photographics and daily have to explian to people that regardless of them owning a photo this does not mean they own the copyright and I can not copy their photos. To do so would leave me ina position of libility as well as the company I work for. ETA Sorry just read the rest of the thread.

I'm so sorry for your loss Benshiva, your tribute to Webster was lovely and brought tears to my eyes, he sounds like he was a truely awesome boy. RIP sweet fella. Look after yourself Benshiva, while the tears may take a long time to dry the pain you feel shows just how lucky he was to be so loved.

What like sending a text, come out come out where ever you are? :rofl:

Thanks for the invite Rubystar, haven't been on DOL for abit so would have missed it. Not sure if we will be in Albany that weekend so will have to check with J but if we're not and we can afford it J and I might be able to come. What is the latest we can get back to you Hortful. ? Will be working full time in November so might not be fit to go anywhere but my bed with a good painkiller and hot water bottle. Still, it means some extra cash for Xmas, so my back better hold out.

J and and I go on a Tuesday night before Agility (when Sarina is available and weather suitable) with Helana Fitzgerald, she is very good and gets the best out of most of the dogs and sometimes their owners. DId try the thursday one years ago when Jenna was small but did not feel I learn't much at it, where as in just a couple of weeks with Helana I feel I have learn't quiet abit. Admitidly I was a bit skeptical about going at first, but as J needed another handler I went and now am looking forward to Helena getting back from overseas so that we can continue. Classes were small too so more individual attention although that might change as the weather gets better. Classes are $12 and start at 7pm.

Love the new signature Mason 2009.

What a beautiful tribute to your lovely Emma, she was a lucky dog to be so loved and it sounds like she brought alot of joy into all the lives she touched. I'm so sorry for you loss, RIP sweet Emma.

Hey, Mirrawee if your putting in a Cleanrun order can I get you to order me something and share the postage?

CC you are so talented - thanks so much for posting the link. I have a little "thank you" for when I next see you and Strauss's breeder is over the moon with the ones I sent her. Mum fell over last night, so today I spent 8 hours in the Emergency Department, she has dislocated and fractured her shoulder. OMG that means I am on cooking duty - oh well good way to lose weight Sorry to here about your Mum Ptolomy, hope she mends quickly and is'nt in too much pain.

What's the saying, "if it sounds too good to be true then it usually is". Gave up waiting for my results submitted months ago, will pay the extra and go with a more reliable company. Great at talking the talk in emails but that is where it stops, should have known with the wait for the test kits, disappointing to say the least..

I am so sorry for your loss Dogslife, Nala and Chantie both sound like they were both very special dogs and your tributes to them were full of the love you felt for them and brought tears to my eyes. I am finding it hard enough to deal with the loss of one of my furkids a few weeks ago I can barely imagine how aweful it must be to loose two so close together, my heart goes out to you and your family at this sad time and I wish I could ease your pain. They were both lucky dogs to have found such a caring and loving family after such a rocky start in life and it is lovely to know that they got to experience that joy in life which we wish every dog could have. RIP Nala and Chantie.

So sorry to hear about Chloe RS, too many good dogs taken lately . Hugs to you and your family at this sad time, she was a lucky girl to end up with such a special family and she must have known that too, to have reached such an awesome age. RIP little Chloe. The pain we feel at their passing can not negaite the years of joy they bring us while their here, I hope you find a little comfort in this poem. LEND ME A PUP I will lend to you for a while, a puppy God said, For you to love while she lives and mourn when she's dead. Maybe for twelve or fourteen years, or maybe two or three, But will you, until I call her back, take care of her for me? She'll bring her charms to gladden you and should her stay be brief You'll always have her memories as solace for your grief. I cannot promise she will stay, since all from earth return, But there are lessons taught below I want this pup to learn. I've looked the whole world over in search of teachers true, And from the folk that crowd life's land I have chosen you. Now will you give her all your love, not think the labor vain, Nor hate me when I come to take my puppy home again. And my heart replied “Dear Lord Thy Will be Done” For all the joys this pup will bring, The risk of grief we'll run. We will shelter her with tenderness; we'll love her while we may, And for the happiness we've known, forever grateful stay. But should you call her, much sooner than we've planned, We'll brave the bitter grief that comes, and try and understand. If, by our love, we've managed, your wishes to achieve In memory of her sweet, sweet love, please help us while we grieve. And when this cherished puppy departs this world of strife, Please send another needing soul to love for all her life

Take care on the roads going home everyone. PJ's and a cosy bed sound way better than going out and training tonight.

I'm with you Tiggy, sometimes its better not to know. I know I will think nothing of buying a hairbrush that is around $90 for the dogs and then look for a $2 brush for me same goes for shampoos, $30 for dogs, $2 for me. Plus the dogs get a variety of supplements along with their feed whereas if the supplement is for me it is too much to spend. They have umteen toys, blankets crates and beds and yet I still buy more, and I hate to think what I've spent on clubs, trials or show entries. Then add raw feeding which seems to have skyrocketed cost wise .lately I could probabaly go a good holiday with what I spend on the furkids and that isn't including vet bills but for what I get in return I think I get a bargin, unconditional love and companionship plus I have met many wonderful friends because of the dogs and my activities with them so better value than a holiday that would only last a short time anyway.:D Mind you I do wish I controled my spending abit better when it comes to the furkids, well at least until the next time something for them temps me, being on this site I get tempted far too often by what others have bought for their kids and the oh so tempting dog sites like Cleanrun. Destined to be permantly poor.

Thankyou everyone for your kind thoughts and words they are much appriciated. Everyone on here knows how much our dogs mean to us and many have sadly shared the same heartache. GayleK, I know what you mean, I blubbered the whole time I was making the tribute, but I also remembered each day each picture was taken so clearly that it didn't feel like 13 years had passed. I think I needed to do it to help me let go and say goodbye after not being there when Gizmo passed. Each time I think I have cried myself out something small will set me of again but looking back over the week I am handling it a little better each day. With the loss of your beautiful Benson so recent you will know only too well exacly what it is like. I hope it is getting easier for you each day I know how special he was and use to love hearing about his antics. So many friends have been in the same situation recently and too many wonderful dogs have passed lately but I hope they are all enjoying each others company at Rainbow Bridge. I always use to think of Gizzie as a reincarnate of one of my childhood dogs who I was extremly fond off so hopefully if he was perhaps he will come back to me yet again one day. I live in hope and it gives me a little comfort to think this way.
