Yes :D I'm a softie. In other news, we have a new foster dog. Not our usual working dog ... our resident dogs are ... perplexed and nonplussed.

koalathebear Posted February 16, 2023 Author Share Posted February 16, 2023 A while since I last posted but here are some photos from Elbie's birthday yesterday. He turned 13!!! I can't believe it. He's very grey now but still very lively and spry and has no idea that he has a senior dog :) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koalathebear Posted September 3, 2023 Author Share Posted September 3, 2023 Sadly we lost our beloved Hoover yesterday. We had hoped so much that he would make it to another Christmas and perhaps one more visit to South Durras - but he did make it to his 13th birthday and had a wonderful time ... so we are very thankful for the very precious time that we were able to have with this beautiful boy. He was a beautiful Kelpie with absolutely no badness in him. Calm, gentle and sweet-natured, we brought him to all our yard checks so we could see how the potential adopters treated a dog, how their kids treated a dog, how their resident dogs treated a dog ... As you can see from this album, he was the best foster carer in the world especially with puppies. We will miss him terribly. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loving my Oldies Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 That is so sad, @koalathebear. Deepest sympathies. Hoover sounds like the perfect dog and the album is so so precious. A wonderful catalogue to have and to bring back the memories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koalathebear Posted January 14 Author Share Posted January 14 I felt like I had to post here where it all began ... 14 years later, 173 thread pages later, we had to say said goodbye to Elbie today. We were lucky to have almost 14 years with him and he stayed with us as long as he could but he let us know today that it was time for him to go. We learned so much from him and we have met so many wonderful friends through him. There are so many memories that are inextricably linked to the little black dog who stole our hearts in 2010. He was happy to the end - giving tail wags and happy kisses to the vet who came to our house on a Sunday. He fell asleep peacefully, happy and without pain or fear. He was safe and surrounded by people who loved him and that was all we could have wanted for him even though we didn't want him to go. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
