Loving my Oldies

LOL. As for movies driving sales of all sorts of things, what about "product placement", eg having a character drinking coke, pepsi, whatever. Advertising works and a movie about something cute and cuddly or clever or endearing is advertising writ large.

As I sit here reading and scratching like craazy, I have to ask: is it prickly against the skin? I nearly go nuts in woolly pullovers.

Nice car, Nekhbet

Quite right too :laugh: I hope Kibah's mumma is spoiling herself a bit too.

Ha ha ha - well do we know. But he is protective little soul too and has to make sure that all goes well in there :laugh: Do you still have any fosters for RWL? Yeah, we still have the Pancho man! Who has weaseled his way into my heart, the little bugger! Alas, I have to choose between failing and continuing to foster, so I have to put the greater good ahead of my own selfish desires and just pretend that he's mine until the right home comes along :) And that is the best you can do

Agree re being courteous, helpful etc. However I don't believe rescues send people to pet shops...people do that by choice, not by force. There are plenty of stories of successful adoptions, it's just that for whatever reason we don't hear as much about them on here. I meant that their attitude made people steer clear of other rescue groups and just go to a pet shop to avoid the hassle. Yes, there are 10s of thousands of successful adoptions over the years, but it doesn't hurt to give those rescue groups who are performing a bit of a help.

See if Gillybob wants it.

You obviously got off lightly. Ams must have been desperate. :D :D Joking of course..... Shar Pei aren't your everyday sort of dog. It would seem for the number of stories that come on here that some rescue groups are being more than a bit precious. If they deem someone to be unsuitable whether for the particular dog they are enquiring about or whether they need to put some changes in place, eg fix fence/gate/holes in ground/sharp wire, they need to be open, upfront, courteous and helpful, rather than sending the people to a pet shop.

My first thought :laugh: :laugh: Max has turned us all into Pug Huggers Unforgiveable. Let's start an Aust Pei compaign.

Not a good idea. Diagnosis first, treatment second.

I met him on the weekend! :love: God I love RWL. And .....??? Tell us more about the little guy.

They did give her a reason - several, as listed.

Having always had two or more dogs, I've never left food down. Even with one dog, I don't think I'd do it. Years ago I had a friend stay for a while with two of her dogs and it was awful. She left huge bowls of kibble and broken up pieces of schmackos out for her dogs and then wondered why they wouldn't eat of an evening .... she fed them Chum and left me to do all the cleaning up of the house and yard.

Those photos are amazingly clear. Don't rush into anything, get second or third opinions.

I can't believe any researcher for a program would use that dreadful man as a so-called expert. God inly knows the damage he has done in his long and totally inappropriate tenure. As for the point about breeders taking responsibility: this assumes that all breeders, simply because they are producing a living and breathing product, have ethics. Sadly, it doesn't necessarily follow. There are good, bad, and middling in all occupations. Even those who are supposed to regulate and check are in this category. The only answer is the continuous education of the public.

That's true and I hope Katdogs and Sammy encounter him again.

Have to second this. If Roo has destroyed 3 crates, before you get another you really need to know that it is the answer. I have a couple of crates from Vebopets and I'm not really sure they'd withstand a Roo assault.

Again, I think people can be too picky. They are only small, honestly, I can't see them growing much. The poor OP needs help and needs it badly. Not much time left.

Good grief. Those conditions are definitely OTT.

Ha ha, great minds !! First thing I though of seeing that beautiful face on photograph was how marvellous a pirate patch would look -LOL. Have you seen a specialist, Kirislin, if you think your vet is mistaken? It will be interesting to see what Iggy's Mum thinks and to see the photo.

They are two very happy pups, getting their breath back in preparation for another onslaught - LOL.

They are great, tlc, the second one in particular.

LOL, little Tigger is getting a fan club.
