oops yes sorry I just realised I made it sound like he passed away young, but I meant to refer to how our dogs are with us for a short time compared to our life span :) yep :) thank you.

Thanks, raineth ..we were together over 10 years ...

:block = ignore :)

Oh, yeah!! :)

"Mitchell" The boy who found his way into my car, and my soul all those years ago - who was equally at home on a the bed of a dying patient , or hunting foxes in the bush - who could carry tools etc for me , or bail up intruders ..who didn't really enjoy the company of kids, but who was patience itself with special needs kids . Just found this photo , taken back in the old days, when dogs could and did use playground equipment ;) he LOVED the slide ,,and the tunnel things :D he will always be the dog part of my soul .

Thanks for all that info, Ams. It's a good thing actually, me doing some searching around - I've learned lots ! :) ..but it won't be me adopting ;)

probably not .... Trinity sounds a lovely and lucky girl ... and temp. wise sounds perfect :) There are health things to consider tho, aren't there? Skin/eyes/ shar pei fever ? I think knowing there was something like a bad fever which could happen would be a bit much stress ... or am I barking up teh wrong tree ?

Hmmm... seems she has conned everyone :p Doesn't anyone else have a norty oldie?

Grey temperament is ideal .. however she likes to do beach walks etc off lead DD I'm very sure Bunter is entirely satisfied where he is!! :D

wow! :) love that . there are various lenses for a macro shot ..I've gone cheap Kogan 3-in-one lenses ..around $20 . Then there's OLLOCLIP which does a better job and I think is around $50 ?

Just popped back in to ask politely for MORE CARTER PHOTOS ! :)

this is so true !!

Doesn't really change them .. just stops any behaviour which was associated with being in season etc ....

Name : "Caillie Ann the blue eyed Koolie " Age : 14 Crimes: stealing dead animals from hawks & crows , removing articles of human clothing from vehicles, dragging them around, then sleeping on them while gumming her treasure collection ; teasing the other dogs; occasionally trying to chase cars . She's a worry :p (pic taken this afternoon)

Think of him as a baby human ..and how tricky it is to get them to understand using a pot rather than a nappy !! Dogs don't think things thru like a human child .. so it needs to be done simply and specifically :)

Dogs who are allowed to toilet inside are confused .. and don't see a need to take themselves OUtside ;) It is an owner's responsiblity to decide which one is to be the toilet spot ..and then spend quite a lot of time/effort in showing the puppy :) is there no way he can be left outside during the day ?

Awwww.. lovely coat!

The search is back on - after much soul searching ..and some just -at-the-wrong-time other stuff .. .

jumps fences if left alone in yard apparently - why wasn't that put in her profile, I wonder ? Not a great problem in this case .. dogs are always left inside if no one is home ..but a worry still . If this doesn't work out ... I will tell her about the Koolies :)

No, inner sububs :) Most of my pet dogs would have been classed "no good with chickens or livestock" they have all killed a chook or chased something at some time

Ohhh he is just so handsome!! :) :) :) let us know how things go - he's a lucky boy .

agree with this :) I hope that professional help with carter will make things safer .

OhhOOh ..I might soon be an 'auntie' ... there is apparently a meeting being organised :) LINK

Seems Shadow (paws&Claws) is getting a good consideration ... :) If I was looking I would be sorely tempted .......
