  1. I don't think what the op said was nasty or harsh , however the second comment would have stung me badly ..... that's all. :)

  3. reply..................... "Oh, Thank you :) I just knew I had to buy a new red globe for that outside light :) "
  4. into the D O L archives!!!! :D
  5. When walking Kieran ( 36 " and 42 kg) The "horse/saddle" comments were very common :)
  6. ... people often say something like that ..he was obviously staring, and thought he'd best say something ..and it is a handful ! While I don't think your reply was 'nasty'... an enigmatic smile may have sufficed :)
  7. ..has she had blood tests or whatever to test for inflammation .... autoimmune problems?
  8. Thanks... he was certainly different . For those who haven't heard the story .. When I did P A T dogs.. we took donated dogs, held them in kennels , assessed them , and either returned them to owners/rehomed as pets or trained and placed with those needing a special dog. So .. I read in the paper about the dog .. 2 yrs old .. blah blah ..lady moving.. Got an appointment to see him ..drove right across melbourne on a hot sunday .. to arrive at the front gate as another lady was leaving the house ..after buying Mitchell. !!! I was not a happy camper ..but asked could I just have apeep anyway ... ZING .. I was in love ... forward a couple of months ...phone rings .. lady explains she is having to get rid of her dog , and someone had said to phone me as he might be useful ....she was telling me all about him, and where she'd got him ..so I had to ask his name , didn't I ? yes , it was Mitchell! So ..I collected him, tested him ..and although he was a bit worried about a couple of things ..took him. In kennels he was fine .. but as time went on , he was showing a bit of anxiety and some fearfulness when out & about ... so I was faced with a decision ... that I didn't want to make ! One day, I went to go home .. found my car under a tree in the hot carpark ... I'd left windows down a bit .. and , sitting in the driver's seat, was Mitch!! He had ,somehow squeezed out of a gap a chi would struggle through ..undone a lock on another gate ..found the carpark..and my car ..and managed to get inside !!! What did I do ? I cried, and drove us home!! next morning ..I asked my boss if I could be more accurate in client assessments if I had a suitable dog with which to test their responses/handling skills ... "Hmmm", yes , and for photographs " he says ..we'll have to find you a dog . Of course, I saved him the trouble !!! :p The landlord was not too hard to convince ..and so began our partnership. :) yes, he was special.
  9. ..I have no idea of proper dosage ..and I wouldn't like to take a stab , but i know what i do with our dogs rescue remedy, magnesium, lavender oil , and a warm wheatbag - my stress first aid kit for dogs & humans! :)
  10. :) It happens to the best owners.... at least now you know what to look for ..
  11. It's almost irresistible !! maybe cos we usually put butter on it ?
  12. would he have chewed it? Chewed up , they can travel thru .. but gulped they may get stuck. I will add to rappie's info .. they can't be easily picked up in ordinary Xrays .... I get a panic if I can't account for corn cobbettes or wooden skewers or toothpicks !! They are usually in the bin
  13. I must have missed the description of injury/ effect suffered by the pup in question ...
  14. This is an homage to the bestest boy ... (if I can get this stuff out of my eyes to see properly) he was a BCxCocker .. was my constant shadow..was my work dog ( pets as Therapy PR /assessment dog) and on holidays he would also enjoy working (not playing with) sheep, hunting goats & rabbits. He loved the cats , was such a happy boy when wandering along the yarra, sniffing the flowers, and at the end of his days , was a willing mentor/toy to his successor, Kieran ... Not a day goes by that I don't think of him ..he was a special boy indeed.
