Loving my Oldies

This is a very distressing time for you and Abby made worse for you because you have to also witness Abby's distress and confusion. Comfort her and give her time. Persephone's idea of massage is spot one. Google Tellington TTouch. Condolences and hugs to you both.

Lots of dogs laying eggs. Photo in #7 Kirislin - very evocative a dog being a dog and loving a dog's life. :laugh:

Why? Poster is a new DOLer, she is only trying to be helpful and worried about a puppy going to his new home at Christmas. She obviously doesn't know KatDogs. :laugh: I wish I was KatDogs new puppy. The attention would probably overwhelm me though

For a first time mummy, she is obviously a natural. Although in some photos she looks as though she wondering what the hell happened, she is still being so loving and caring for the pups.

I am getting quite concerned actually. I fear that many DOLers' screens are going to explode when Fat Sammy appears

My dogs can please themselves, I'm in with air con going LOL. Jeune tends to go out and lie on the deck in the full sun, but she can have it on her own. :laugh:

What a fabulous area you have for dog walking!! Dogs aren't bad either :laugh: Wonderful to see.

Gosh at $50 you could have one in every room!! They wouldn't 't amuse my dogs --- thet'd be running for the hills. I'm def going to look at one, though.

And when I opened the gate he rushed down the path and up the back stairs as though the devil was after him. Maybe he just didn't like the groomer :laugh: :laugh: .

There is the good, the bad and the ugly in all sorts of procedures. If you feel better at waiting until you girl is a bit more mature, do. The only caveat, I would offer is that please ensure you are able to confine her safely: for the point of view of any males getting to her and from her getting out. Should the worst happen and a mating does take places, there is a "morning after" vaccination.

Definitely not mad LOL. Glad to see he loves his home and wants to get there as quickly as possible. :laugh:

Lately, I've been thinking that my dog, Bunter (Renbury Rescue probably Pom x Corgi, but who knows) is slowing down. He loves his walks and hurtles to the side gate where the leads are and cries on the very very rare occasions where I leave him to be walked on the second lap. However, once outside, he plods along as though putting one foot after another is such an effort. What an actor :laugh: . I've just collected him from the groomer who is 50 metres down the road from me. He was is such a rush, I decided to drop his lead to see what he would do. Well he literally bolted down the footpath (only three house frontages until mine), skidded down my driveway and came to a halt in front of the side gate. I had to jog hard to keep up with him. He won't fool me again, when I am walking at about 1/4km an hour for him - LOL. He is Bunter fresh from the grooming parlour.

:laugh: :laugh:

It would depend in more than a little degree on the competency of the vet performing the surgery.

Great advice here. I hope you can get your dogs to ideal weights. I did wonder though if you can feel ribs how a dog could be overweight? One of my dogs is a real fatty and frankly, I don't know how I could feed him any less. He gets a couple of scoops of mashed vegetables and about a desertspoon of meat. I warm it up with hot water and to make it like a stew. He is walked every day, mostly twice a day, very rarely gets any treats and every so often a dried kangaroo bone (like lamb noisettes) which he will happily chew on for days.

I was named Cynthia because in one of the books mum was reading when she was pregnant with me the heroine was a Lady Cynthia :laugh: Extraordinary!! My mother trained as a photograph colourist. Something I am wrestling with. I have so many old photographs that mum and dad collected, mostly mum, from even before they met. All the people would be long long dead and very few named. Throwing them out feels such a betrayal. Followed by Blackie and Whitey - LOL.

I simply had to link you to a thread I started quite some time ago. I love looking at old photos. http://www.dolforums.com.au/topic/204346-photos-from-70-years-ago/page__p__4790502__fromsearch__1#entry4790502

Are all the pups spoken for? People are going to get lovely dogs. ETA: Do you have a large pic of Hover Bob :laugh: ?

I couldn't watch while he was in the water, fast forwarded to when he was safe in the ambulance. Good thing he had a bit of padding.

Agreed. The more "promotion" the better.

Amazing! Great photographer and stunning subject. You didn't tell us there was a Vampire Vulcan as well - Pic No.2. LOL.

And how !!!

Gosh, I was just wondering about you. Fabulous photos. I love the house. Is it yours? ETA: But I can't work out what is in the trees in the first photo.

The little cream one seems to like the corner of the whelping box :laugh:

Oh yes i think that look says you feed them. LOL, I thought she was saying: What the hell I have gotten myself into :laugh: . Beautiful photographs, Evolving, and very very beautiful subjects. I'll be stalking this thread too.
