Loving my Oldies

I think those who have voted for Traditional Santa mustn't have any idea how hot Brisbane really is - LOL.

I'd love to be able to come but will be staying in Sydney with my Christmas poochies :laugh: . Despite coming up to 27 years in Sydney, I still consider myself a Queenielander and feel for Santas in that hot hot hot December. I've voted for Boardies - LOL - and consider myself an Honory Pei Rescuer.

Oh my goodness, Ams. They are beautiful. Off to order some. Congrats on a great initiative.

Sounds goods to me. Good thinking. :laugh: :laugh: So happy for you RM. Something tells me you are just a wee bit excited :D :D

You got it in one He has been severely reprimanded. I didn't let him lick my plate. :laugh: :laugh:

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: P_S. The world has stopped unspinning. I took Bunter's breakfast out to the kitchen, mixed it up a bit and he wolfed the lot down. I think he just wanted to be with Mumma - LOL.

I haven't had mine yet . He probably would devour an 18kg bag of kibble if I let him. He is shut away from all the others when they eat and if they don't finish their meals (which is usual), all the bowls come up as Bunter would finish off every little scrap left over.

Bunter left most of his breakfast

Any news on this little fella, K??

I didn't know about these ones. Thanks, another one to add to the list. :laugh: Makes me wish I lived in Victoria. These people are so inspiring. Mind you, the first time I stood in a cow paddy I'd probably be outta there.

Great photos, beautiful dogs, wonderful surrounds (can I build in a corner, please :laugh: ) and lush grass.

My choice of calendar is from Edgar's Mission. http://www.edgarsmission.org.au LOL - thanks Rozzie. You just cost me $83.00: Christmas Cards, Bag, and Best Buddy to a sheep called Mighty Mouse. :laugh: :laugh:

What a lovely update, Tapua. Yes, enthusiasm is definitely a wonderful Katdogs' trait :laugh:

Wow! Can definitely see the difference between him and every other itty bitty black slug :laugh: :laugh: . Good time of year to be getting, K, because the time will absolutely fly.

Tashnchief, your heart must be breaking. I too keep looking at the thread hoping that one day before too long Orange will be back with you.

How exciting, K. Troy and Tyson :D :D :D

Oooooooooh - just remember I will be your BESTEST FRIEND. :laugh: :laugh: OT - are you doing your stall this year?

I found my old thread :D :D http://www.dolforums.com.au/topic/201346-this-is-more-for-me/page__p__4697089__hl__steps__fromsearch__1#entry4697089

Those look okay, but I can't see how they don't slip and slide all over the wooden floors? You can put some of the felt pads on the bottom. I have similar steps from Innovations and they don't slip. Hmmm ... they'd probably fall apart pretty quickly :D

It's hard for those of us who have worked in vets, pounds and with rescue to imagine this, but Willow is right. Katdogs, I'd be inclined to put up a few posters around the neighbourhood as well. Some people have pretty healthy dogs who go to the vet once a year for annual vax, so they don't get to hear about much in the doggy world. Your little guy sounds perfect. A suggestion: if he isn't claimed, why don't you contact PAWS and say you'll foster him? They'll take him on if they have a ready made foster carer.

Have a look at Innovations - the ones they have are higher. http://www.innovations.com.au/Product_Detail.aspx?ParentCategoryID=163&CategoryID=160&ProductID=120534

I feel this says more about the person than it is an age related issue. It is being very selfish, I think, and not accepting what they can offer a dog or any pet for that matter. This sort of person wouldn't get a dog from me, either.

Shirley and I would be contempories; I have five dogs who are walked twice a day, I go to the gym, I did bootcamp before I pulled shoulder muscles and I am in the process of sifting and spreading about 2 tonnes of topsoil. What has age got to do with anything? What a shame she isn't in the market for an older dog: Bunter would love his very own special person.

Hmm, Molly needs to borrow my mini trampoline :laugh: :laugh: . She sure looks one happy doggy now.

I can't help you with ideas or ideas for toys, just wanted to say good on you for wanting the best for your dogs. I have a couple who don't play and, while it has worried me from time to time, I just let them be. One of my dogs plays with herself :D in that every so often she starts to bark and then proceeds to run madly around the yard or through the house. It is sooooo funny. I join in to try to keep it going for as long as possible. Love their names. My first dogs were Nammu (Sumerian creation goddess although he was a he :) ) and Calypso - from the Odyssey.
