Hahahaha...I saw that as well Mother Moocher, I thought 'those hands could do with a good gob of aloe vera and scarless healer cream' (medical staff may not approve tho' ) Good morning Jed, pop into the waiting room and help scoff that pile of toast and these.....

Good to hear from you Jed. We all know the sorrow of losing one of our mates, but to lose so many is just too much. Be sure that our thoughts are with you Jed and perhaps help to mend that big hole in your heart that their passing has left. Hugs to you.

Good to hear you are feeling a little better Jed... Westie-kisses from the little guys. Penny and Mac's last Person, Moira, was one of the humans waiting at the Rainbow Bridge for your heart dogs Jed, they were comforted and shown all of the fun stuff that dogs do there. They are doin' ok now. Hope your hands heal quickly. The coffee and hot buttery rolls are pretty good in the waiting room this morning...yum yum pigs bum

Deals Direct have some advertised $19.95 and $29.95...may be worth a look, If you type in united1 in the Product search it takes you to the correct page. Warm Doggies

How did you get on with the new rental Di?

I agree Shaar, I saw that photo of her and thought awwwwwww. I thought she was a little cutie!

Thanks Goldchow for the good news update. It gladdens my heart that Jed is getting better (small puppy steps...that's the way to go). Hi Waiting-Roomies, still busy scoffing that mud cake and strawberries? Oh! are they chokkie-dipped? great, I'll just grab a few and a cuppa coffee while I wait a bit. (Smells kinda nice here...coffee, cake, dog )

beautiful Hahaha...that's really great I ♥ Bindi~Boo, I like it! I also like that crab, it looks happy.

Good morning Jed, and good morning waiting room dogs and people. Just popped in with a container of tank water for the hairy-4-legged guys and to a tin of ground coffee and filters to top-up the reserves for the coffee machine, also a box of Dilmah Earl Gray leaf tea....you guys on the night shift sure swill the stuff! Those croissants sure smell good (swipes one)...who brung them? Hope you are feeling a little better today Jed.

'Mornin' Jed (waves through the window) and Hello to the day-crew...it's ok, I know you guys can't speak with your mouths full of Persephone's pancakes...I thought I saw maple syrup on the floor?..but no, my mistake, it appears to have been wiped up with The-Amazing-New-On-The-Market-Wipes (as seen on TV) 'Newfie Tongues'..especially for big jobs! (the amazing Chi Tongues are needed for smaller jobslike jam drops) Candle lit

Mornin' Jed, you may be able to smell the big big plate of toast that everyone is pigging-out on, I see that someone has let those Border Collie pups into the waiting room again Bonduca, they are doing goo goo eyes at the toast eaters, we are wise to their trickery though (quietly slips them some chicken wings from the always-filled eskie under the table). Bright and sunny here this morning, cold wind though. Warming candle lit.

Hi Indigirl, I didn't know either so had a look on-line and found the answer here---->http://quilting.about.com/od/stepbystepquilting/ss/fat_quarters.htm Now I am an authority on fat quarters (it sounds like an area in France...sort-of a place for fat artists to hang out in )

Woops! how dumb am I!!!!! .....one of the fat quarters I ordered on-line came yesterday and I thought it would get to SBT303 late so I sent it express post. I must keep telling myself that the 7 in... 7/7/10 means July, not June. Thanks Snowysal for your polite way of telling me (quote Since we have a whole nother MONTH) O well, I can now do some more with applique.

Hey! this happy little sweetie really cracked me up...must be the tongue! she really lived to a ripe old age, RIP little one http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2010/06...?section=justin

Thanks for the update Toohey, it's good to hear that Jed is improving. Jed...cry as much as you like, we are all with you (just check out the crowd of us that are in the waiting room), which reminds me...you may be interested to know a furniture truck delivered several sofas, soft chairs and tables for the food and drinks that magically keep appearing. Still need more room as the dogs and cats are taking over the furniture and us peoples are sitting and lying on the floor, (playing with afore-mentioned dogs and cats) Blue sky here and a cold wind...bit wintery in fact!

sent mine off with the post today, my friend appliqued some Westies and Scotties onto some of the plain material I bought (from the Church Ladies for $2), she is sooooo good at doing stuff like that. (I did the cutting out ) I hope it gets to SBT303's place on time.

Not dogs, but these poor little tackers, how cold and frightened they must have been.... (check the two photos) http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2010/06/03/2916716.htm

Hi Showdog,...yep, I was thinking that very thing myself! (after reading the shampoo bottle that said Stripping Shampoo!) Penny and Mac (being 10 and 12) don't take kindly to being stripped (tried it a couple of times and they cry), one needs to start stripping as a pup for it to be successful I reckon. Never mind, I'll bath them today and maybe they won't be too soft (I hope)

Good Morning Jed, it's pretty here this morning, the clouds are pink, white and grey and the paperbark trees are all shiny in the sun. The curlews are hiding this morning but the plovers are making a fuss (again!) and there are two pardelot's near the clay heap. (there is also a rather loud cockatoo!) I'll just grab a couple of those warm wholemeal rolls and a cuppa and park my bum between the lovely Borzoi and that gentle looking Italian Greyhound. Soft-Westie kisses for you from the Little-Guys.

Well, I received the SHC-Laser-Lites36 Stripping Shampoo as well as a 300ml of detangler spray by Coat Handler (was reccommended by Jillian (Canine Equipment at Carina), she was the only firm that answered my emails! 1L of shampoo is $18.50 (and you dilute it 100-1) so it is pretty economical. The detangler is $19.75 It's raining here today so it'll be bath-time tomorrow, 3 stinkin' Westies here! I will let you know what the products are like.

'Mornin Jed, back from walking the crew...overcast and some misty-drizzley-stuff. The Bay is all shrouded in mist and very calm, there are bee-birds singing out on the power lines and the usual bunch of curlews are trying to be like fallen tree branches and hoping I won't notice them (silly buggers...you can FEEL them looking at you!) Hoping you are feeling a tad better this morning.

hahaha cannibalgoldfish, my lot would think someone was probably coming in to give them food and show them where the fridge is

Popping in again to say Hi to you Jed and to give the hot chokkie to Bilbo Baggins...sorry it's late but had run out of that yummy Mozer chocolate from Aldi so had to nip in to purchase a carton or two. Here's ya cup-o-choc Bilbo Baggins see, I didn't even spill it, (a wonder as there is so many dogs lazing on the floor watching David Attenborough on tv)

Coffee anyone? there is more, just shout out and another cup will appear. Good morning Jed, another baby step today? hang in there.

Hi Minky, if you post this message on the Westie thread http://www.dolforums.com.au/index.php?show...191&st=2050 one of the posters should be able to help, AND we will want to know ALL ABOUT your Westie as well
