Loving my Oldies

What is Elsie ? What a beautiful beautiful girl.

Does my nose look big in this ?

Lordy, between Luka and Huckleyberry, we are really getting spoilt. Love the one with the planter.

Oh, Persephone!! I can just see it all: Persphone goes off to the loo still half asleep, feels (not hears) the pitter patter of tiny feet. Then, croak, "Nice bum, Persephone." Persephone leaps up, clutches the little fellow, calling out joyously, "My Prince!!" Gives him a big smacking kiss and they live happily ever after.

My vet in an earlier life used to say that when tradies were around was the most dangerous time for dogs. When I was having renovations a couple of years ago, I tried not to have to leave the house when they were here. If they had to leave the side gates open for ease of moving materials, the dogs were shut in a bedroom; if they had to have the front doors open for ease of movement, the dogs were shut out on the deck. Only if 100% unavoidable did I leave the house and spoke to every tradesmen checking that they didn't have to use the side gates or the front door. Even then, the whole time I was out, I was sick with worry. Only happened a couple of times - that was enough.

:laugh: :laugh:

It was just a joke. They were known as Belgian Barge Dogs.

Gosh it does look dry

LOL - the last one. "Get away, greedy!"

I prefer without. There isn't a distration from concentration on the dogs concentrating :D

Great photos, adorable subjects, and great names for your dogs. I knew a little Maltese many years ago called Plume.

Huck ain't no pup, anymore . Your farm is just so special --- dog's not bad either :laugh:

Myrtie used to slink out of the room with her tail down if she heard any popping noises :laugh: . Seems to be used to it now, though

Yep . On the other hand, I used to work at a pound ..... The stories I could tell. Pretty awful really - that is in terms of the abilities of the staff.

There has to be down-time, Mantis. My dogs are perfect pretty well everywhere :D :D

^^^ All those above.

And pull the barges - LOL. Gosh they are beautiful dogs.

I don't call that savvy - I call it downright dishonesty, stupidity, unethical and probably endangerment.

Well unless BP tells us why it has taken so long,we can only speculate. However, I think we can be excused for expecting a pound to have a handle on all the different registries, all the different sorts of chips and all the ways chips can migrate and be diffIcult to find. Sorry but I disagree with you. I would expect a pound of all places to be expert in handling all the different microchip registries. We have our dogs microchipped on the understanding that if ever they are lost it will ensure them a quick trip home. That is exactly what I am saying.

Yep, I'm confused :D lol my head hurts just trying to figure out why the OP even needed to waste the letters on their keyboard. Not necessarily. The way I see it is that the OP had something on her/his mind, wanted to talk about it, but hadn't really thought it through properly and has not given enough details or explained the situations well enough to give us the full and clear stories.

because it's called redirected aggression- it can happen The post people are replying to, makes no mention of redirected aggression. They said, what if a small child was running ahead of it's parents, no mention of another dog. This type of stupid comment, is what gets peoples upset. I don't believe it is a stupid comment. Yes, DA and HA are two different things, but dogs not contained properly in their yards can, if escaped, become overly excited and if children were running down the street could start jumping around them and unintentionally hurt them. Anyway, this has been done to death in so many threads. RM did a good job in frightening circumstances and those dogs need to be reported.

:laugh: But how can you concentrate on the business at hand if you are playing ball :D

Yep, I'm confused :D

poor old Mum was a bit wary of this big horse..and we would hear her calling for us to move him so she could come out! I think this thread needs to be renamed: LOO LOLs.
