Loving my Oldies

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.

This is very very sad. I live alone and although I am not as old as your lady, MUP, I worry that I might pop off the perch and the dogs and cat are alone until someone realises I'm not around So, a suggestion: She arranges with a friend, relative, neighbour, to call/text/email (although I imagine she isn't on line) every day just to say that she is still alive. If they don't hear, whoever is her contact person comes around to check. She needs to have hard and fast conditions in her will for the animals to go to such and such a rescue and also in her will ensure a financial contribution for their upkeep.

This is the point I've made a couple of times. Doesn't matter if it was done by stupid copycat morons: it has been done.

That last photo is mandatory viewing for people scared of dogs LOL. Beautiful!

I was thinking the same, Coogie. I have read that depending on the length of time some people have been homeless, it can be very difficult for them to actually adjust to living in a permanent place again. Going off topic, you'd think that our country would be able to find the resources to build and manage hostels and the like And then of course there would be a "No Pets" rule so people like John would not go there.

Why bingo I wonder? MUP's friend DID find a ribbon. She just isn't passing on something third, fourth or fifth hand. Just the knowledge someone left a ribbon there for whatever reason is scary.

Me too. I have to laugh at Pepe going from "PO you interloper" to "You is my bestie, Bob."

What I am wondering is, has that already happened :D :D

Exerpt for those who can't see FB: Pet Search STOP THE PRESS! Carrie has been found! We have been contacted by the family who have been caring for her. She is ok and is being reunited with John tomorrow (Friday 27th June 2013). We will be sure to update you with more details, when all is confirmed, it is one of those things that it is hard to really feel and believe until you see it. It is all of this sharing of this post that worked, it got around to people who know the family and enabled them to get in touch with us, so thank you to all of you. You are big hearted people who took time away from your busy lives to help Carrie and John and it brought great results.

That is wonderful. I have been checking all day to see if there have been any additions to this thread.

I've been scrolling through some of the posts on the link, and someone said she had seen John and Carrie recently and she had a little jumper on

The way social media is today, I imagine this story is going through the CBD like wildfire. I hope so and that Carrie and John are soon reunited. Poor man must be devastated.

Great news. So good to get the "happy ever after" story

Beautiful photo - what a gorgeous coat on a Super Model. Yep, Red Hot Pokers aka Torch Lily. Aren't they fabulous. When they stop flowering you cut them right down and divide them because they keep on spreading. I have yellow ones.

You'll have to teach him how to wash himself, Giraffez :laugh: :laugh:

PAWS.com.au has a section for rehoming your own pets. Also lots of information on rehoming your own pets on the PetRescue site.

Or just maybe they went to a perfectly good home where they will live happily ever after.

Good to hear that it seems bettr. I agree that you should still take him to the vet, because whatever sort of infection it may be might not be totally cleared up.

I don't think we are going to hear .... see Jelly's other thread.

My friend isn't lying and has reported it to the police and is very upset. What did the police say and/or do?

yes that is odd. How much easier would it be to just text an address, rather than physically place a little ribbon. I admit these questions are going round in my head as well. MUP's friend did say that the ribbon wasn't easy to spot. I guess the spotter puts the mark where the casual observer would not notice it, but the person who is doing the stealing/robbing/whatever knows what to look for. Even if people are just jumping on the band wagon and getting their kicks out of frightening people, they would be pretty damned successful. :mad Slaes of CCTV cameras will skyrocket.

Well, I sure would be .... whatever the reason, someone has targeted her house. Very scary.

Uh Uh ----- Toy Boy in the making :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
