Make an application donatella... SOS will consider interstate adoptions to the right homes... *grin* T.

I don't know... at the rate they are creating new suburbs in Sydney these days... *grin* T.

Charles Wentworth (Charlie) showed us all what a life well lived - and loved - is... he's going to be missed by a lot of us methinks... I remember you letting me have a cuddle with Charlie once at a DABS Bunnings Sausage Sizzle, and he certainly didn't disappoint - he definietly gave the best cuddles! I'm sure that Charlie has taught Skeeter and Emmy how to be the best dogs they can be too. My first reaction when I read his Rainbow Bridge entry was to cry out "Oh no! Not Charlie!" and start crying - and then the phone rang - and it was my mother who then asked me what I was upset about... so I told her about Charlie and his journey, and she started to cry too. Sweet Charlie could touch the hearts of even those who never knew him... vale sweet little man. T.

Now, see, I have a dog with the opposite problem... she runs good, but walks like a drunk... http://www.youtube.com/user/tdierikx - check out some of her early puppy videos. I love her to death, and she reckons life is pretty good regardless of how she perambulates. T.

Ummm... we need more pics of the gorgeous puppies (and stunning Furia) MonElite... they are nearly a week old now! T.

Well done!! Awesome photos indeed... T.

As an owner of large dogs, I can see where some of the "detractors" are coming from with regards to certain small dogs and their owners' behaviours. However - there is NO excuse for ANY dog to react to the presence of another dog to the point of killing it - provocation or not! T.

I'm sure my Lab would be capable of hunting for food - but she won't share it... *grin* It's probably a good thing I was taught to hunt by our house boi when we lived in the highlands of PNG... neither me or my dogs would starve... T.

Big hugs for you Caz... T.

Trouble has always done that... and she also picks up the empty bowl and does her best Oliver Twist "please sir, may I have more" look when she's finished... T.

Big hugs to you perse... T.

Oh Vi! Charlie was a very special little man who showed us all how to live our lives to the fullest - one day at a time... Run free and healthy at the Bridge sweet Charlie. Big hugs from me and mine to you and yours Vi... T.

Happy Birthday Jasmine!! May there be many more happy birthday's to come too! T.

Regardless what I've said in previous posts, I reckon you are doing an awesome job there Cleveland. It's pretty rough when the 3 groups supposedly responsible for animal welfare in your area can't be arsed to come and do something about the abandoned cats - thus effectively dumping them in your lap to deal with... *sigh* T.

Way to go GRR!! T.

Where would it be legal to rehome any animal that does not legally belong to you? T.

I use a program called Easy Thumbnails... http://www.fookes.com/ezthumbs/ It allows you to save the resized files with different names, to specified directories, etc - thus saving the original files from irreversible changes. T.

Regardless of the negative stats for impounded cats, it is still the law that any stray cats are reported to council. It is also illegal to feed and/or rehome any cat that you do not personally own. I understand where you are coming from cherylv, but advocating breaking the law is not a good idea - no matter how well meaning your advice is. Yes, the law is draconian - but it IS still the LAW, and penalties can apply if the law is broken. T.

While I think it would be cool to own a fox, I don't think the average pet owner can be counted on to be 100% responsible about it. We already have way too many people who own cats that believe that it is their natural "right" to roam the neighbourhood and do what cats do... and we have laws and regulations specifically regarding cat ownership that are being ignored on a daily basis. How can we be sure that someone owning a fox would follow the "suggestions" of those adopting them out to the public? To own most exotic pets one needs to have a license - and I believe that should be true for fox ownership also. Gaining a license would involve training and learning all about the needs and instincts of the fox, and how to keep them safely in a dommestic setting. What worries me a lot is how cheap these pet foxes are being sold for - $250 to $350 - well within the means of pretty much anyone who wants one. T.

Love the message at the end... much more subtle than the usual... T.

It's kinda behind the big baseball field down the road from us DD... T.

Persistence and patience will work out pretty much most things in time. Roo is making good progress, and Jelly is doing awesomely well. Hang in there - it will work out for the best soon enough, OK? Oh - and we need more pics of the lovely Roo... T.

What a lovely spread of colours you have there MonElite. Furia and her babies are looking great! In 6 weeks time, you are definitely going to have your hands full... *grin* T.

I think we may have a winner! Isn't she gorgeous? T.

I lie on the couch and groan... they get the hint and settle down for a spot of vegging on the other couch... *grin* T.
