Loving my Oldies

Great news, HarperLee and so very happy for all of you. I've always told you that you worry too much. to all of you. But!!!! Were you able to enjoy your holiday??

Knowing (not first hand, just DOL and media) what some RSPCA divisions are capable of, I would be paying the adoption fee and getting the dogs out ASAP. Don't forget, the RSPCA will spend any amount on legal fees if they are challenged and if they decide to dig their heels in. I wouldn't trust them not to even kill the dogs if they felt they were being painted into a corner. If they feel their authority is being challenged they will fight tooth and nail. Don't ever trust them to put the dog/s first.

EXCUSE ME!! NORTY????? Never, my dogs are perfect, just like their owner :D :D :D :rofl:

The thing is, they are safe in the shelter. Yellowgirl is needed for those who aren't safe. If I knew help was needed, I'd send my own dogs to Yellowgirl ...... mmmmmm, there's a thought :laugh: Happy Christmas little Darkie and Spike ........ and for those who are looking after you. :xmasmerrychristmas:

Yeah, but once I read about you jumping up and down with excitement outside at 3am in the morning, my enthusiasm was somewhat dimmed :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Hopefully they will find a home where people know that, no matter how small, a dog is first and foremost a dog.

Excellent, SM.

Those little boys look like a Dogmad Project to me :D .

Yep, she's like a dog with bone when she is on the case :laugh: :laugh:

Could you post a link, please Fuzzy82? I've used Pets At Peace mostly and their range is quite limited.

Nothing better than a dog at full stretch on a beach.

What little darlings. Happy Christmas Donnie and Huxley. May the true spirit of Christmas conspire to find you both wonderful homes.

I started reading this, noted the date and thought: hmmm few things might be going on here. Generous Thought: The person who resurrected the thread didn't see the date - which does happen. :D Not So Generous Thought: The person who resurrected the thread was trawling through old threads looking for something interesting and wanted to stir. Generous Thought: The person who resurrected the thread was wondering what had happened to the puppy, but the text of the resurrecting post doesn't support that thought. Not So Generous Thought: The person who resurrected the thread has an axe to grind. But all that aside, it would be nice/interesting to know what happened to the puppy - hopefully all good, but doubtful.

As soon as I saw that photo of Sammy, I recalled that several years ago I rehomed a little dog called Wilson. His new mum used to call him "heaven on a stick". I think Sammy fits the bill.

Ellie's adventure was a classic example of what can happen when Rescue people work together. Well done. Poor Ellie, has her pressie already - what on earth will she get on Christmas Day now? :laugh: :laugh:

I might have to visit :D :D

WOW !!

Gosh - the excitement !! Definitely a harness for when you need to make a pit stop.

Had to laugh at this. My dogs had all been given bones one day and the next they had all disappeared even though I knew they hadn't eaten them. I was standing in the back yard under my very large Turpentine wondering where all the bones had gone. Right at that moment, a bone fell from on high right at my feet. I hope the bird enjoyed it - lol. Shame you didn't get a video. We could have had a long long discussion as to whether or not it was a fake. :D Opposit here. They are supposed to eat their bones outside and often just ignore them because they can't bring them inside. Good grief - that brings back memories. I learned to play and sing Hard Hearted Hannah about a thousand years ago

Oh, Diva. That is awful, depriving you of the pleasure of bowl licking. Naughty cat Oh no. This made me cry. I had to be careful about this for Mufti the Magnificent ( ). I went away for a couple of weeks and on the list of instructions I left the house sitter was to make sure of this very thing

I decided to try this out and bought one this afternoon - glad I didn't pay $50.00. In fact I should have looked in the box first. It is probably worth $15 at the most. Anyway, I have had it wandering around the lounge/dining room. I was right about the dogs: all of them took off except Tamar - LOL. She kept following it around, but I couldn't get a photo except this one: It fits under the couch, but sometimes I have to rescue it: Weaves around the dining room chairs but I ended up taking them out onto the deck to give it a bit of freedom :laugh: :

I have a little Maltese Shih Tzu cross (not as gorgeous as Bobby though). Does that qualify me for getting an Alera Puppy, please? :laugh: :laugh: Little stunners.

Just because someone works with animals and is studying to be a Vet doesn't make them nice or good or wise or caring. Stick around here for a while and you'll learn that. Show your friends the Rescue sub forum. Upsetting for you, yes.

No, it's mixed breeds Steamboat doesn't like (per m-sass). Steamboat has a staffy, jerry lee has a staffy, both write in the same way, particularly the accusing people of a conspiracy thing when someone has simply disagreed with his point of view. I didn't realise that jerry lee was Steamboat, no point in discussing the matter any further then, a complete waste of time :laugh: Actually now jerry lee has got his knickers in a bit of a knot the posting style does seems familiar. Picked it a while ago. Look at the overreaction to my saying terriers are too hard. Demands to know why I said it and then when he doesn't get a response, says people have a problem with my posts. Well, it is all a mystery to me, but I am sure you have alerted the moderators if you picked up that some one was using multiple whatzits??

OMG!! I read some of the comments below the original clip. Sheesh - and I shocked and disheartened by some of the things people on DOL say. Yes, the dog was beautiful and gentle, but I don't think they were doing the child any favours by letting the interaction continue.
