Loving my Oldies

Still early and so many things happen each day to remind us that they are gone forever. I was looking at some videos of the dogs (and especially Danny) a couple of days ago and thought how lucky we are to live in an era when we don’t have to rely on our imperfect memories to see our beautiful ones again.

Ha ha ha - gorgeous, but foot isn’t in sync. :laugh: :laugh:

I live in a quiet suburban area which is popular for walking just as exercise and walking the dogs. There are a few intractables who believe they are above the laws, one even to the extent he thinks it is fine for his dog to jump my (very low) fence snd run around my yard. I really don't think that low socio economics has a lot to do with it: some people are just ego centric no matter how many dollars are in their wallets. As for the owner not assisting? I think the above applies again. Some people are incapable of processing the point that their rights bring as many if not more responsibilities. All that said, a horrible and sad situation.

Such a huge loss Maddy. Deepest sympathies and condolences.

If I were 20 years younger . . . . . . make that 30 :( Many years ago when I was looking for a new dog groomer, I was referred to a woman who worked from home. I entered via the driveway as her grooming area was in her garage and behind a fence in her yard was the cutest little Mini. I exclaimed with pleasure saying how beautiful she was, etc etc etc. The woman looked at me as though I were an alien, asked me if I meant it - which I certainly did. She said no one had ever said that about the little dog and most people thought she was ugly. It made me sad.

Oh yes. They were all gorgeous, but I do have a thing for little Bullies.

In the second one, Secret is channeling her inner Meercat. (Or Meerman :rofl: )

Nope, not a Kelpie thing LOL. One of my fosters from some years ago used to love getting onto the deck table. I have a photo somewhere. And yes again to all the stories and photographs

WTF!! Why on earth do you feel that you have to leave because your dog isn’t a pure bred? :cry: I hope it is just a simple misunderstanding because if that was the criteria for being on the forum, it would have a much much smaller membership. I have been a member of DOL since February 1993 and while I think a couple of the dogs who have graced my home might have been pure bred, most of them have been mixed and all (bar one) have been from pounds or other rescue groups. I forbid you to leave :laugh: :laugh: because we have to see pix of the dog who will be joining your family.

What an amazing set of pictures, gapvic. I wish Guiseppe would wear a hat or a beret - his head seems so exposed.

That is a crack up. Those ears :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Ooooh no, that made me so nervous for the dogs - very close to the car at times although I know you were just crawling. That said, I think Jonah must have the best life a Shar Pei ever had.

So beautiful. Such a huge loss. Deepest sympathies.

Looks stressed out to me LOL. Nothing better than seeing a new arrival just know they are home and safe. :heart:

Yes, she is beautiful isn't she DDD. She's already done 6 specialty shows, winning 4 class in show and coming 2nd in the other two. Very proud of her. Oh isn't that great!! Congratulations!

Such a beautiful tribute to your beloved Jindi - and a tribute to you, Isabel for the love and care you gave her in full. Farewell Jindi. You were totally loved and will be totally missed. :love: :heart:

Just gorgeous. Little Story has the sweetest face, I think. “Will you still love me tomorrow?”

He’s a knockout. Congratulations to you both for finding each other :thumbsup:

Yep, that’s the way it is but the goes on too.

Good news. Hopefully she will stay this way for a long time yet.

No ideas to help, I'm sorry. Just to commiserate and know how difficult it can be :heart:

I would be asking for a refund along with telling them, of course, how their inappropriate dosing nearly killed your dog. And, I think you should write to the AVA as well. People make mistakes of course, but overdosing to that extent is not just a mistake.

OMG I am in tears reading this. I was too frightened to come on but had to know what was happening. Poor Mya, what an awful time she and her family have had of it. Onwards and upwards now. But thank heavens Shoelace read this thread. Nobel Prize for doggy knowledge, Shoelace :thumbsup:

That is great news :thumbsup: So happy for you both.
