Loving my Oldies

Memory just popped into my head. Does anyone remember (is it still going??) Dogs Life! Magazine. I was addicted when it first came out, but after a couple of years it was just a repeat with different packaging and twice as expensive. However, I have never forgotten one heart wrenching letter. A woman wrote about how in a moment of having difficulty coping with everything that was happening in her life, she surrendered her dog, a staffy if I recall properly, to the pound. Shortly afterwards, she really regretted what she'd done, went back to the pound, but the dogs had been already euthanised. She admitted that she had to live with that for the rest of her life. That said, I do know that a lot of people will walk away without a backward glance or a nano second of regret.

You'll often see on FB pages which feature dogs in pounds ..... XYZ is a surrender so is urgent. ACT sounds so much more enlightened than many other places.

Great news. Go Jessie

Now that is good news.

Unless the owners are super sleuths, none :(

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Because it was a load of self serving, judgemental codswallop.

Send it to Kirislin for a make over. :laugh:

Little Gifts, from what we have seen of this outrageous organisation over the years, I would doubt that any proper process was followed. This little dog never stood a chance from the second his owner walked through the front door.

As I am the opposite to a hoarder, I've cleaned out Danny's medicines which are in tablet form and I can't get him to take. I generally take unused medications back to vet or to chemist for safe destruction, but thought I'd offer them here first. Losex 10mg - 7 tablets Viscotears Eye gel - used once Metacam 1mg chewable tablets for dogs - 4 tablets Periactin 4mg - 80 tablets Aminyllin - 16 tablets I'm in Hornsby. Probably not worth sending via post, but if anyone in the area wants them or wants them for rescue, I am more than happy to drop them off or have them collected.

What better place ..... in loving arms. Happy happy Gotcha Day, Basil and Stellnme :thumbsup:

That's a relief.

K, no way could you be a dag. You have exquisite dogs, you make beautiful beautiful collars and leads, you take the most amazing photographs. .... but you are still going to be reported to the RSPCP. :laugh: Looking forward to the updated collar photo of tag. How amazing that a fellow DOLer has one. Perrin

But that is what they have been doing since Day 1. You'd have to be enamoured of death and killing to work there.

Horrible. Caught very quickly as it doesn't look engorged. Keep us posted.

That's interesting. I wonder if it has a smell. Plastic does give off nasties that we aren't even aware of .

My wire crate (purchased some years ago from Vebo Pet Trading) is 43D x 50H x 600W. It would fit both yours and a couple of spares, Donatella. I have a soft crate too, but that was to get Gussy used to sleeping on the bed again surrounded by dogs. It's virtually impossible to see in it, but it worked for that purpose. For dogs to be separated and yet within the family, I'd go for wire. Heavy though, even the small ones.

I have a small crate in my garage, I'll go and measure it, but if don't get back, ring 000 as I will have drowned. Donatella, I have found these dividers worth their weight in gold. I use them to block the hall way, entrance to rooms, etc etc.

It's Denali's fault :D :D :D http://www.templeandwebster.com.au/felli-pets/pamper-your-pets/night-swimming-pet-crate-cover.html http://www.templeandwebster.com.au/felli-pets/pamper-your-pets/bleeker-street-pet-crate-cover.html http://www.templeandwebster.com.au/felli-pets/pamper-your-pets/your-hand-in-mine-pet-crate-cover.html

RiverStar-Aura, I am certain that is the case in probably 99.9% of cases.

That man belongs in a mental asylum. He delights in death. I can't accept that. For sure, systems exist, but staff should be standing up for the rights of animals in their care. Just make sure your will is up to date and you have SPECIFIC instructions in it for your dog.

That is the whole point, JRT Rescue. They KNOW UNEQUIVOCALLY that there are plenty of rescue groups who would willingly take dogs and cats, but for decades, they just won't do it. That is why I say that they are verging (if not there) psychopathic.

OMG, that is just so sad. I can attest to meeting one at the vets the other day who was like that. Totally the owner's fault. These dogs get like that because they are treated like little toys instead of like dogs. So so sad. On the other hand, I've met many who are not like that. I am glad that Jane was able to point you in the right direction. Good luck to you and your two gorgeous dogs.

Where are you in Qld, Stitch? There is a vet at Kedron, I think, who people rave about. She used to be mentioned a lot in the Rescue forums, but I can't remember her name. DOLer Ams who used to rescue Shar Pei would know.

. More than this. The trainer is a danger. : Fortunately, StressMagnet came onto to DOL and was able to hear from dog owners who live in the real world. Think of the damage that so-called trainer is doing to other people and their dogs.

I came looking for this because of StressMagnet's post in the Dear .... thread. BigDaz needs a name change to BigSilly :laugh: Love your work, HazyWal
