Loving my Oldies

I had to find a new raw food supplier after my one of about a decade closed down . I was so sad for them as they were obviously very distressed and I just happened to go down on the day they were closing their doors for good. I've started buying the Prime Rolls from PetStock at Mt Colah and to date they seem to be a success. (Someone in another topic had mentioned them, so thanks for that :) .) As they didn't have VAN Complete, I went to PetBarn at Castle Hill only to find it was about three times the size it was last time I visited some years ago. Wish I'd invested LOL. Bought the VAN and some Waterless Dog Shampoo - LOL. Bunter has scored a new harness as he can slip out of the previous one if he decides to put the brakes on during our walks. And I recently bought a pestle and mortar to mash kibble for Gussy Cat to ensure she gets some dry in her diet.

I had the same situation some years ago, Westiemum. I looked after two little dogs I'd rehomed - same reason: an event organised prior to the adoption. It was quite funny really because the two ladies were soooooooooo really worried that the little dogs wouldn't want to come to them when they arrived to take them home. I just laughed at them and told them not to worry. I was right :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Hopefully Chester will make further progress today in Yellowgirl's expert and loving hands. If Raffi is too much trouble, you can send him up to me :D :D :D

Hey! That is pretty exciting. We will want LOTS AND LOTS of updates :laugh:

Fantastic news. Congratulations Just Andrea Family . Welcome to the world of rescue, Tyrone. What a wonderful example you are going to grow up to have.

All I can think of is that you and your husband deserve medals, Chezal58. You took on an enormous challenge with courage and love and faced down threats and fear for the sake of Narla and her puppies. Total admiration from me. May St Francis stay with Narla and her babies. He was pretty slow in getting there, but he was looking out for them the day you came into their lives.

Me too. I didn't watch the videos . Bless you, yellowgirl. Your courage, care and compassion are truly exemplary. Wish there were more like you. :love: Get better, little Pom. You are in truly loving hands now.

I would imagine the frenzied excitement will die down a bit once they are living with each other. You are right to consider the size difference. I agree with everything Jed and Staffyluv say Hope the move goes well and the dogs (and humans) have a ball.

No contest LOL. Kelpie/Basset/Basset Cuddles.

Wow!! That is sure impressive. You must all be really nice people :laugh: :laugh: Hope all goes well for you with the application.

Yep, my first thought. Can't believe anyone is replying actually. There is a separate forum for this discussion.

Little darlings. They would make wonderful companions. Hopefully someone sees them soon and rushes them off to live happily aver after.

Poor little thing ... For,her past. But happily she has found you. Without having the experience the other posters have, from the little I have I have to agree that a month isn't much time. It took Tamar (one of my many adoptees from pounds) six weeks to approach me voluntarily and to put her paws on my knee!! A red letter day, that was. Good luck.

How very very exciting for you all. Nothing like getting your own home Best wishes for a successful application .

Ha ha - Ziggy in the crate. A couple of years ago I had to bring out the crate for one of the dogs to recuperate. The recuperating dog didn't like it, but Mufti did. Hey, what happened to Saffi :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

So good to know that Nutmet and Smudge are on the improve. Hopefully their siblings will turn the corner too.

What a nightmare for you, Chezal. I don't have anything to add, I'm sorry. Just wanted to send cyber best wishes and reiterate what others have said re contact with RSPCA and police. Put it in writing, not email or phone, so you have copies of the correspondence and they can't say they weren't advised. Ed to add: for a while, I'd be inclined to take Narla and her pups off the adoption site.

I think that grommit was just coming to where she would get a bit of advice and support. It is like having to go for an interview: you ask people who have done it, what to expect, how to handle yourself. Obviously the interview is going to take place, but preparation and planning are necessary. It is a shock when things go wrong. Surely there is no fault with turning to where you think there will be support from others who may have experience.

I have nothing to add to the advice (conflicting) given here, I just wanted to wish you and your puppy all the best. When I adopted a puppy from a breeder nearly 20 years ago, I was like you: found and adopted her at 4 weeks and visited her while she was growing old enough to come home to me. First visit to the vet: diagnosed with a bad heart. Naturally, I was devasted, but I can in total honesty says that it never crossed my mind to take her back. She was my dog from the moment I set eyes on her. My best wishes for you and your puppy.

I saw Bob's pics at the shelter with pride of place on the wall and the staff cooing over them That's great. Nothing like getting updates from new owners.

LOL, great photo

She's beautiful. Still alert and looking for fun, while Ziggy is collapsed beside her :laugh: :laugh:

Lucky Zig .... a playmate again She is very tall.

Yes, it is horrible to think of anything/anyone being kicked, but worse when the creature is so small. However, it may have been another homeless person without full mental faculties. Sad even so.

I hope she can get some peace of mind. Her pets are not all that old and her fears, though totally justifiable, shouldn't lead her to do something unnecessary Ditto.
