Linda K

that was so lovely, thanks for sharing that

glad that the pups were OK, but not a good advertisement for service

something to think about, thanks for raising the thought in our minds

oh that is so sad, my sympathies to that poor family and their beloved girl

she sounds like one really tough cookie - good for you Gert

I feel sick just reading that

glad that you managed to stop her doing this, amazing what new scams keep being dreamed up

good luck, and as others have already said, the one thing to do before bathing is to make sure there are no tangles - washing will only pull the knots tighter and make them harder to get out. I have a Persian cat, and I swear he can knot up at the drop of a hat, and at first I was not grooming him right down to the skin, the comb I was using was too wide a tooth, and was just going through the top f the coat only and not down to the bottom layer, but with a slightly smaller tooth comb and slightly different technique, it is amazing how much comes out each day (and how much you need to stay on top of it), so can only imagine yor girl is the same sort of thing. Hopefully you can get that appointment soon, and be back on best terms with your girl.

would be happy getting married at either - my OH has said he wants to get our vows renewed by an Elvis impersonator in Vegas for our 20th anniversary - since that is 2 years away, he had better make good on that promise!!!! Congrats to the happy couple, may they have many years of happiness ahead

blanket as well on our leather seats

just gorgeous shots, and love that last one. And yes, Devons don't have a lot of hair, they have a very short wavy coat, but some of them can have a very sparse coat

so cute, definitely a cuteness overload alert needs to be issued for these guys

I get dead rabbits (the half left over after eating), from our farm cat. Never had the gift of poo though, unless you count the "gifts" our neighbours lab leaves on our front garden overnight

did you name him after Nikola Tesla? He is so gorgeous, great choice, and I would not have been able to resist letting him on the bed either

what a lovely story, and great that Dimples will have a wonderful home and such an important job shortly

simply gorgeous, and love the hairy shots, they really capture the texture beautifully

congrats on the impending new arrival, can't wait to see the pictures. What are you going to call him?

ditto what Kristin said - had the 1.2 and adored it, but man was its focusing so SLOW compared to the 1.8, so could not justify keeping it in my camera bag for the no of times I would use the 1.8 instead for its superior focusing time (and when shooting animals and small kids, speed is essential!!!) For the money, you can't go wrong with this prime

Got it in one

Having worked in customer service for over 10 years (out of there now thank goodness), I know how often it was that people rang up to complain and even if the error was 100% their fault, they would so often be so abusive demanding a fix, that the rare ones who were gracious about it were indeed treated like gold (and their complaints went to the top of the pile to be dealt with first, I can tell you). I also remember treasuring a lady who sent me a bunch of flowers when we had an error (our fault, nothing to do with her) that meant she had accidentally received money in her account that was meant for someone else, and not only did she return it, she also sent me the flowers & apologised that it took a couple of days for her to send it back but she had to wait until her son came over so she could get to the bank. Made a difference from the one who deliberately emptied his account, then told us he would pay it back at $1 a month for the next 10 years, and if we did not like that, would go to all the current affairs shows about another bank bashing story. So glad that your faith in this company was justified, and no doubt they now have a customer for life as with service like this looking after a client, they are the sort you would be certainly be more than happy to use

yep, would also have said it was the other way round - that people like DB have helped create the DD influx

just love her eyes, simply gorgeous

people that can do this to an animal are capable of anything, and the minimal punishement the person could face is a joke. RIP poor little one, you are no longer in pain now, but sadly you endured much before you left

would strongly suspect you might be looking at a scammer site - when google searching, discovered quite a few sites where they were saying how they had pictures and content stolen by the scammers, together with offers to buy pups, which the same as when that happens on ebay, is not at all from the original owner, of course that is quite ironic given the whole subject is a "teacup" dog anyway which in itself could be said to be a scam

perhaps look into whether you can get some of the large rolls of hay, which can just be put into the paddocks and the horses / ponies / donkeys can munch on as they like. individual hay bales of lucerne run about the $10 - 20 mark, depending on the quality, and buying feed by the bag for that many horses (if they were being hard fed once a day), you would need a bag of oaten chaff and 1 of lucerne chaff per day, and the copra maybe 1 per 2 days. That would be quite costly, but with any luck, maybe the feed place might offer a discount. Absolutely no idea on chook food
