Tara and Sam

So Very sorry to hear your loss and to others here also Run Free Little ones heartbreaking times for many I loved makeing a video of my dogs with many of the pictures taken over the years and find comfort in watching them at times , the laughs the smiles and the cries , and the memories of the good times it is hard makeing that decision

Been following the thread with interest andmums dogs is similar to SM post but mums girl has had the runs , may I ask why you asked that is there some connection ? sorry to hijack your post SM

posted by mistake

maybe if coming via plane , could try airport etc , explain the situation and they might be able to check incoming pets ?

I am going to look into the Adapitl one as well , this only happens once maybe twice a week sometimes but it enough for mum to get mum a bit upset so I would say probally moderate anxiety ? rest of the time she doesnt seem to show these signs even though she runs around mums yard , and then does wander back to mum or stands there looking for mum PK reading your thread was heartbreaking , and yes I do understand every case is different , would like to try things a bit more first if we can really appreciate the advice so can pass to mum Thank you

RuralPug - how could I forget Rescue Remedy after reading about it on here so often lol I completely forgot about her trying that , will certainly suggest that also to mum I did some reading about it here on DOL and google I did forget to mention the vet said could give her about a hour before she goes out PK - yes your thread about it I read , that is why I asked of personal experience wit the medication so can let mum know I did suggest to mum to try it while she was at home to see how her dog reacted to it mum has her Molly for about 8 years and the first time left alone she almost scratched the doors down , so hence she got the crate for her and was fine in the crate with some treats etc , and yes I tend to agree she is becoming more insecure with her age and less sight and hearing issues I know my Tara became more distressed when I wasnt around because of her blindness and hearing at her senior age and her dementia I know my cavvie also has some anxiety when I not around but doesnt salvate like mums dog does her Vet is very good , just a few uncertainties by mum about giving it to her Thanks for the replies , always good to hear personal experiences with it

Asking those who have used Trazodone on their dog mums 14 yr old dog has seperation anxiety she gets crated when mum not home ( and she is use to that ) but seems to be getting worse as getting older and almost deaf and blind in 1 eye ( feeling more insecure ? ) she salvates so much that all front of her chest and tummy area is soaked when mum gets home vet is very happy with said dog , good weight , slight heart murmur all going well for her age she did recommend Trazodone after a bit google search they are like a antidepresant also for anxiety but it seems they can take time to work , my main question is if used once a week ( when mum goes shopping ) would they be affective if used once a week as suggested by vet some thoughts on those who have used the above please

I use a mobile groomer at Oaklands park and he was good and reasonable price

Her bank here in aus , should be able to tell her what name and or some info for the one in NZ ( I had to contact mine years ago over something , cant remember what it was but I was given details ) and then the NZ bank might be able to give some info if explains the whole thing alert the police in her state so they can note this scam ( SAPOL in SA do alert people to scams ) I would say quite a bit of money involved some friend I know also got caught a year or so ago with a dog they got online I would contact the dog associations in the states to alert them more that know the more can save someone else getting caught out

I know you mentioned the buyer ringing bank tomorrow but have they tried to ring today and "might" be able to stop the transaction or at least alert the bank of what has happened , some banks have numbers can contact AH

I would keep the dog because life will be better for the dog with you. Remidog said she has nothing bearing the previous owners signature and that's a bit of a worry. It sounds like you don't have a signed receipt. I hope you do. Ask your Father to look closely into the laws of rehoming/selling of an animal. You need to know these details just in case. The rescue girls on this forum can probably also help with the rules. They know what they are. What the previous owners are now doing is below the belt. First the distraught teens who were not caring for the dog anyway and now the partner/wife. I would keep the dog because she'll have a better life with your family and this is what it was all about until the old owners started moving the goal posts and making it about themselves. Both you and they know the dog is in a better home with you. All should start thinking about the welfare of the dog again. I would call the previous owners and tell them I'll not be returning the dog and would like to cancel their visit on Sunday because the dog has settled in nicely and she'll think they've come to take her home. It would definitely unsettle her. Perhaps you can take the dog to meet them on neutral territory in a week or two if they still want to see her. It's natural for them to miss their dog for the first few days but they don't want to keep her or they would not have gone to those lengths to find her a new home. What they're feeling is a knee jerk reaction to her absence and in a few more days they'll get used to her not being with them. He did say he does feel she is in a better home with us his words to you , so sounds like father is being pressured by the daughter , yet deep down he knows dog would be better with you I would be cancelling tomorrow as well , and wouldn;t have them come to house as mentioned the dog was advertised for a few weeks , so you have a few weeks to make your decision something about this just doesnt feel right to me personally I would be keeping the dog and be sure to get stat dec into your name and make sure all things legally bounding

Hoo-bloody-ray!! I hope the boss charges extra to repair the wall too. Or better still leaves it as is until they ask for it to be fixed and then let them know that will cost more. :laugh: well the owner was told about the dog and should be charged to repaint it maybe said owner will listen in future

:laugh: that's a good point owner : oh !!! you got dog hair on walls boss : well put you b.... dog away

Any news on how the little girl going ?

So glad he going to mention it to the boss :) get son to write down the conversation date , time etc , at least it now falls back on the boss to make a safe working situation and if for some reason the boss is slack with it , at least the boss has been informed about it and its dangers your son is covering his butt PS at 6'2 he can come and paint my house if wants :laugh:

Just gone back and reread original Op post and also would like to say What if son never mentioned it to boss and someone was bitten Boss man could go right off that nobody told ( rocked the boat ) and let him know , maybe the boss would appreciate he knows about this so he can prevent a issue ariseing from it all If son gets on well with boss , then I would presume he would like to know and probally thank your son for alerting him to it Fellow worker should also let know boss of the incident I can understanfd son being bit worried about it , but should be proud of himself by alerting boss of what can / could be very nasty situation

Hi Boss / name , I think we might have a problem with the dog around when we trying to do our job , it has been showing some signs of aggression , humping etc and this may end up being a concern if the dog makes contact with someone , maybe the dog could be restrained for all concerned to avoid a nasty situation for all Maybe your son could say something similar to this short and simple but point out it could be a nasty situation for boss and owner I do think it needs to be bought to attention to the boss

Her lawyer Terry Dobson told Radio 6PR on Thursday the woman had consented to her pets' destruction. He would not confirm if or when she had made herself known to authorities, but said she was well known locally and it was not an issue of fleeing the scene. seems as though she would have had no choice after what the dogs did , she didnt make herself known to start with , she had to be found "The primary concern in relation to the dogs was to remove them. They had behaved in a way they had never done before, so given something awful had happened to the little girl, my client wanted to get the dogs out of there," he told Mornings host Gary Adshead. "She grabbed both dogs by their collars and restrained them (..)" Should have been restrained before so it couldnt happen again "She wrote a letter of her own volition ... to the family. We wanted this kept private but we are speaking now because the only thing we would like is for the local Mayor to be quiet. she wrote a letter only after found out who she was , hopefully the Mayor after being told to be quiet will be louder over this "He just keeps yapping on about it, no pun intended, but he's like one of those little fluffy white things that runs around yapping. My client is a responsible dog owner. She is horrified by what happened." so horrified by it all she left the park what a stupid lawyer

How utterly horrific for the poor girl and her family and the dogs have been put down https://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/a/32596909/two-dogs-put-down-after-vicious-attack-on-girl-9/#page1

my heart breaks for you we love all our dogs we have , but there is also some that really burns our heart especially our oldies , they live to some great ages but never seems long enough for us Run Free Danny Deepest condolences to you

:laugh: what a great pic , took me minute or two to work out how many there I thought 2 weighing 60 kilo's between was bad enough thats a classic

:) flooding memories of Sam doing that to me , would give a happy bark to be helped up onto modular lounge ( 40 kilo ) and "that" look of smile on his face , then my arms under his lower belly area and lift his back part up , he had HD since about 3 yrs and back disc problem last few yrs of his life , lovely 14 yrs old , and he use to stand at back car door and bark to get help getting in so could lay in warmth of car in the end I had to encourage him to lay on a big comfy pillow on lounge floor in case he tried to get up when I wasnt home , eventually he got use to that got to love our oldies :) my little cavvie uses small steps for getting on the bed and off , a few treats and she got use to them

So Very sorry to hear this what a gorgeous girl she is RIP Punpunya Run free in Rainbow Bridge with all the other DOL furkids imagine how they would all be running around together without pain and ears flapping in the wind Have your cry when you need to as remember they will always be deep within our hearts forever I at times ( quite a lot ) look back through pics of mine and have a cry and then have a laugh at their antics ( I found it helps me ) I still miss and think of mine a lot , different things remind me , but they never leave the heart

So very sorry to hear this Deepest Condolance to you and family RIP Renae run free at Rainbow Bridge Always stays deep with in our hearts
