Loving my Oldies

What a gal! Have a wonderful day, Misty, and many more. :D

Thought I'd give this link to another DOL thread. The more knowledge the better. http://www.dolforums.com.au/index.php?showtopic=186377

Given his history, it would be impossible not to. All good thoughts and vibes being sent your way.

Whatever else IR regales us with, SwaY, at least she has started a genuinely useful thread. When I was listening to the news last night, I was thinking of doing something similar. Victoria sounds like a nightmare at the moment. Keep safe everyone.

How awful for everyone - poor little Eddie . No advice, I'm sorry. Just wanted to send good wishes

And put some strips of wood across from side to side at regular intervals. The non slip under rugs materials works well too.

You have amazing friends, because you are an amazing person. Are Leo flyers on his website? Off to take a look. I handed some people goo goo gooing at puppies in a pets prison a DoggieRescue magazine recently ;) . I expected the shop people to after me swinging a kong.

Ditto

Can I do a SQUEEEEEEEEEE, too. I think of you all very often. I don't think there has ever been a more impactful dog and family story on DOL than yours, Ambervale. How is your Paramour ;) . Not NEARLY enough information in your post. I want to hear how every single one of you is doing. Don't you realise that you are practically owned by all of us? Did you ever manage (along with a teeming multitude of other activities) to get Leo's Story into book form. Jeez, woman. I could ask a million questions. Love the Christmas on the beach photo. I didn't realise poodles came in black and tan .

What a wonderful little dog. An absolute stunner. Toby was obviously a good dog to start with, but this is being enhanced by one very important thing: you are treating him as a dog and not a toy. ;) Doesn't matter how small they are, they are still dogs and love to do (in miniature ) all the things that big dogs like to do. I've had a few really small dogs and, boy, could they hoe into the bones . Please don't let him near the pool . Even the best trained dogs can have a slip.

Isn't Jerry beautiful? Such a little dude ;)

Can I suggest having a look at the current thread about what you'd wished you knew before adopting a dog? Some good and fun stuff there. Look at PetRescue.com.au. Lots of rescue groups adopt interstate. And remember there will always be some people on DOL to pick you up on the slightest off chance thing you might say ;) . No throwaway remarks allowed here .

;) I have finally had to shut the door, because coping with seven dogs all wanting to hop on my lap is just not the way to go - LOL. I am JUST managing with 7 I used to, but now I breathe a sigh of relief - LOL. Not really; I always worry that they'll be okay, especially the fosters who occasionally manage to find some way out of what I thought was almost a doggy Fort Knox ;) That sounds heart breaking Sezy I'm a CC = Crate Convert. In fact, I wish I had room for two. Wise words, T.

IMPERFECTIONS !!! ???? Wash your keyboard with Pyohex, woman. It's called character

Oho!!! Gorgeous !!!! What a cruelle mum you are LOL.

That it would eventually lead me into the world of Rescue and I would end up spending my life wiping up wees off my floors and hosing down my deck

Wow!! Look at the muscles in his back thighs. Fantastic. A year or so ago, I was driving down Beecroft Road (Carlingford Sydney) when out of a side street came a unicyclist being pulled by three whippets. If I hadn't been committed to an appointment, I would have doubled back and followed.

PooFan, I reckon I have an African Painted Dog here. Totally disgusting, I know, but he has been desexed, but we might be able to clone him and start again with some fascinating breeds. What do you thunk?

Did you manage to fill all the orders, PooFan?

Absolutely agree.

Nope, Kitty. I think they are genuine concerns. Definitely genuine concerns. Dogs can be poisoned by blood and bone, so god knows what that has in it. I thought Rooster Booster would be okay, but my dogs got stuck into that too . Thanks for your suggestion, Kynta.

I'm sure there will be plenty of responses to set you on the right track, but nothing in my back yard gets fertilized or zero'd or sprayed. Just too worried.

Poor boy probably has never had so much fun

I did try those leads where you have one handle and short lead and then two separate leads for each dog on special swivelling attachments that prevent the leads attached to the dogs getting tangled. This works only if the two dogs walk at the same rate otherwise you have one slower dog being pulled along willy nilly by the stronger dog. I have seven dogs at the moment: first walk is with three all on separate leads and then four with one on a long lead attached to my belt. In the past couple of days because my fosters (and I ) are on a steep learning curve (lol), I have switched to using short 90cm leads. This has made a big improvement to my control and the pulling force they can exert.
