Loving my Oldies

Ah Kirty, what a sad sad burden you had to carry. Bless you for knowing what is the right and humane thing to do when others don't and won't.

Beautiful gal . Congratulations on saving her.

I suppose it might happen at some stage, but in none of those pictures is the puppy restricting the boy's breathing. I see a lifelong love affair happening .

Totally Off Topic, but I "bought a brick" when Sippy Creek was building its new facility - and I've never even been there. An elderly cousin of mine was a volunteer there.

LOL. I am sure she is lapping up all the attention . She looks a lovely dog and her wound, although frighteningly large, looks tidy and healing well.

I have attached a link to the old thread wherein Miss Myrtie was introduced to DOLers along with her, ummmm, unique way of entertaining herself. :laugh: Just to show that age does not dim some, I took some photos today of her three plus years down the track still doing what she does best. http://www.dolforums.com.au/topic/198210-miss-myrtie-has-joined-the-moochers-as-a-foster-baby/page__view__findpost__p__4600077__fromsearch__1

I'm very lucky to live on a gently sloping block, Hankodie :).

Just lovely, Rozzie. Makes me think that Danny at nearly 15 is a Spring Chickie :laugh: .

Sometimes, one sees perfection. You have captured it, Rainers.

Yep, me too :D

This is true and just a matter of recognising it and trying to make the beating up of oneself not too hard

Wonderful news, Dave73. Hopefully all goes to plan ---- seeing the plan is such a great one for everyone. Well done Jazz - what a girl.

People who allow dogs to get into that sort of condition should be prosecuted for cruelty the same as they would be for deliberately starving or beating a dog (if found of course ). He would have been in pain, not just uncomfortable. Thank goodness he is with you now, Keetamouse.

She sounds quite a girl, Dave73. Saturday will be exciting, scary, exciting, scary. Know what you mean :) Hope your boy continues to do well too.

I'm so sorry for you and your boy, Kirty. Renal failure = feeling very very crappy. I think I'd be letting him go too.

Great news, Dave73. So you have a Ridgeback too! You and your wife are lucky ----- as are your dogs Dogs are truly amazing creatures.

At least Odie is black :laugh: . Great pix. Yes, he is turning into an adult in front of our eyes. Love the photo of your little Buddha with her dad. ETA : I think your yard needs some drainage pipes

I wouldn't have a clue ....... BUT, I do want a photo , please :)

A mini poodle of 9 is still a Spring chicken :laugh:

:) It takes a big heart to apologise, HugL. Actually, I could back track a bit too, because your post did start me thinking and remembering that some years ago, I did come across a few rescue "older ladies" (BTW, I'm ancient :D ) who were on the verge and their houses were pretty questionable.

Shoot! That's enough to reduce one to tears ... of happiness. Love the look: she seems to be saying, "See, I have my very own mug."

Oh! Little here, Dave73. Your girl has had a huge procedure. Best of luck for a speedy recovery and adaption, and hopefully she'll be in boots made for running in no time.

Well a Pom is close in that some believe that a Schipperke is a Spitz breed. :)

:laugh: :laugh: Great pic, W Sibs.

LOL. He is a bit of a barker at birds and other dogs passing by on the footpath LOL. I have no idea of his cross as he was adopted from a pound in 2002. It only occurred to me a years or so ago to contact a Finnish Spitz breeder to ask their opinion and they def agreed with me that he was mostly FS. He is also very stubborn and believes that with age comes privilege :D . My forum name is due to his "Velcro-itis" :laugh: :laugh: - he is always either by my side or where he can see me.
