Loving my Oldies

Need to have signs and ad hoc patrols by rangers. Patrols definitely, but I find it amusing that people always expect signs. The law is that dogs must be under effective control in a public place. That means when you leave private property and go out in public your dog should be leashed. Simple. We don't just pop our seat belt off because the road we are driving on does not have a sign on it saying 'wear your seatbelt'. Needs to be stated. Despite rules "all dogs on leads in public places" lots of dogs are off their leads anywhere and everywhere.

Just bumping this to Page 1. Yes, I'm a busy body, but procrastinating on all the other things I have to do.

I don't know how to do that. I think the moderators have to do it. I cross posted this thread yesterday to a warning of the heat thread started by Inspector Rex. Sounds absolutely ghastly in SA and Vic.

OMG. I'm reporting this [don't know to whom - LOL ].

6 months . She's going to be a big gal. Beautiful though.

The price seems very reasonable to me, actually. But if you are disappointed, you need to let the people know.

Oh dear. I was referring to the first post.

Hmmm, sounds a bit lax to me. I would be inclined to write them a nice letter saying that you were disappointed and cite the reasons. Just be straight forward, unemotional and businesslike.

Disclaimer: I haven't read the entire thread . I think we can be a bit precious about having our dogs labelled incorrectly. I know there are people in the community who think they know everything about dogs and quite often turn out to know very little except they generally have four legs, but in the scheme of things, does it really matter? Get a t-shirt that says: My dog is a XXXXXXX A while ago now, I saw a woman walking a gorgeous really big black dog and I asked her (after exclaiming how beautiful the dog was) if he was a Wolfhound or similar cross. No, he was a labrador X poodle . Another time (I have recounted this story in another thread), I was at the vets and a dog came out of the consulting room who I thought was a Bull Terrier x Jack Russell. Turned out he was a completely shaved (because of ticks) West Highland Terrier :D .

All good wishes for Eddie . . . . . and for his mum .

You can have them set in gold, now.

They are very funny photos, Kirty . Who/what is the brindle leggy dog? Can I have, please?

Oh my . Is one of those dogs little Saffie? Edited because I can't even type 1/2 dozen words without typos

Ooohhhh Lucky Leo will have a visit from the Toof Fairy :rolleyes:

***Wipes forehead with relief *** :rolleyes: Good boy, Leo. Just sleep it off and don't worry mummy anymore.

Could you throw some wet blankets/towels/old stuf over the fence for them? Poor dogs

I hope you don't have to go through that again.

Particularly as you have to spoil the Birthday Girl

Not a small victory at all - a great victory. Consider that your friend will now be telling the story, and so..... ripples in a pond.

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
