Loving my Oldies

Stunning. The Beach at Perlubie looks as though it is very shallow and then suddenly drops away.

Well, now :eek: there is an offer for you, Canetoad. :thumbsup:

Oh those poor little creatures. I hope the stress has not been fatal for any of them. Is mumma feeding both her babies now, T? I read that the stress of taking one baby made her stop feeding the other.

LOL. Well it means nothing to me, but I gather this is one helluva camera. Your photographs are already spectacular; I guess you are aiming for photographer of the year from National Geographic. :thumbsup:

Yet again, someone who wants to do the right thing is stymied by a system which makes it all too difficult and has come about by trying to take in account the “evils” of renters and the “evils” of landlords. So many people just won’t and/or can’t be bothered to do the right and decent thing. I no longer go very far on my dog walks, but when I roamed far and wide, I used to see some terrible neglect both by owners and renters. Some of the houses in my area have changed hands in the past couple of years and I find it hard to believe the state some people allow their yards to get to. However, the worst by far, is a family who owns their home, has lived here for twice as long as I have, and their yard is disgusting. At least they finally moved the rusty broken down old car that had sat there for about 15 years :laugh: . And when they open the garage . It beggars belief: packed to the ceiling with what looks like rubbish. Which is rather going off topic, but relates to the fact that some people just live in squalor with no respect for their own or other people’s belongings. I have been on both sides of the fence - a renter and a landlord - and never want to be either again.

It still makes me feel sick. The keepers would feel about these animals the same as we feel about our dogs and cats. As for your suggestion that the cops beat the whereabouts of the two adults out of the thieves: that’s what they deserve. They’ll probably get a slap over the wrists and go grinning about their business. I’d like to see them shut up in a very small space and denied proper food and water. Sorry take your beautiful thread about Enzi off topic, Grizabella. :o

I wonder what Jesse thinks of her new home?

Wow, that went quickly ...... at least for those of us sitting down and enjoying immensely your photographs. :laugh: :laugh: Glad you all made it safely.

Oh no. Three marmosets stolen from the Symbio Wildlike Park. :cry: One a baby. So cruel and so stupid.

I felt sure they would be, but it looks large and red. Hopefully, nothing to worry about in the long term. I imagine when he is old enough, they will do a biopsy.

That lump on his mouth worries me. Hopefully nothing serious, though. He is a cutie for sure and beautiful pic with his mum.

Fabulous photographs.

OMG, Canetoad!! It looks like heaven. How will you ever leave?

What a wonderful place. You must be loving all this, Gruf and Canetoad.

Oh dear ... too funny. So glad my dogs are normal. I have doubt it for such a longtime :laugh: :laugh:

A year?? Feels like yesterday

Jeune and Tamar have always been contrary eaters - just the way they are, because I don’t spoil them, meaning that if they don’t eat a meal, I don’t try to find something they’ll eat. Obviously if I realise they don’t like something, I don’t give it to them. However, this beats it all and it isn’t a one off - it happens regularly. It goes like this. They are given exactly the same food, they are fed on the deck and Bunter is fed inside and locked inside until Jeune and Tamar have finished (or not ) Tamar generally takes a while to get going, running downstairs, playing around, etc etc and eventually coming up and starting her meal. (There was a time she would not eat at all unless Jeune started eating.) Jeune prowls around staring at her food bowl with the greatest suspicion, tail down, occasionally going up to Tamar’s and sniffing that. Often, Tamar will have finished and Jeune won’t even have started. So sometime ago, I hit on an idea and it is something I do quite often now. I empty Jeune’s food into Tamar’s bowl and, hey presto, Jeune eats it. I generally leave a little bit in Jeune’s bowl and she will eat that, too, when she has finished the other portion. :eek:

Stunning!! Dogs and photographs

You and Didi have such a special bond. Beautiful to see her living the life in such a dog-perfect spot. Well done.

stay safe !!

So many beautiful loved ones crossing The Bridge. :cry: Deepest condolences, Perry’s Mum.

Wonderful photographs, Grizabella. That little green blanket made me recall a show I saw about Chimps were one of the males used to have a blanket with him all the time and regularly just pulled it over himself, head as well. He would walk around with it covering him and also use it as a blanket when he slept. Can anyone tell me where that was?

Safe and fun trip, boys and girl. :thumbsup: :driving:

What a gorgeous boy. Deepest sympathies, Flashsmum. Harry.

Of course. :laugh: :laugh:
