Rebanne

but no apology for the name calling which is agiasnt forum rules which you would know having been here for several years. Just because I am curious what was your previous user ID? Your current one has you being a member for less then 2.

:D For accusing me of being a troll and setting out to provoke people... so you have apologised to poodlefan, I think it was, for calling her a twit? I'm not holding my breath for that. :rolleyes: well I didn't think it cut you to the quick but I could be wrong

sums it up pretty well Cosmolo

why did you do that? geniune question, if it was your dad's house and that was his wish why do it?

yeah who cares, it's only an isolated event, that you may have made someone very ill, doesn't happen often so it doesn't count Next time im coughin my guts out and wheezing due to ciggarette smoke in the soft furnishings of a supposedly 'non smoking' room I will try hard to feel sorry for those who may have been affected by dander left by my very low shedding dogs ok? Do you smoke Rebanne? no I don't smoke and yep my 82 yo Mum would be one that smoked inside regardless but lots don't. Obviously you have never heard 2 wrongs don't make a right.

well they wouldn't be would they cause one owns a non shedding iggy and the other owns a perfect fluffball so neither could possible do any damage of any sort

and it's not only dog sport people affected, it's any one who wants or needs to travel with their pet/s

maybe you could claim your non shedding iggy is an assitance dog while you are at it, then you won't have to break the rules

of course iggy's shed! Well tyou dont need to worry they have thier own bedding! So they wont be shedding anywhere near you LOL do you really not understand that hair falls off a dog and floats around? It doesn't fall nicely onto the bed only. Then there is the dander, the microscopic bits of dead skin, impossible to see, but potentially deadly to anyone allergic. Unreal

I'm still trying to wrap my head around the concept that "Pet-friendly hotels stopped being pet-friendly because dogs destroyed things and messed up the place so naturally sneaking dogs in once they stopped being pet-friendly is also a reason they stopped being pet-friendly". :rolleyes: I don't get it.. they'd ban pets regardless of people sneaking them in or not.. I agree Dju. I think there is two separate isues here. 1. Screwing up pet friendly accomodation with irresponsibilty. It's a real shame when this has happened and I feel for the owners who are left with a mess to clean up. Can't blame them for banning dogs in that instance. But it is different to: 2. Sneaking a dog into accommodation thats already not dog freindly. PROVIDED you are responsible and leave no trace I don't really see it as a big issue. Ok so your dog may get the squirts or vomit, but seriously what are the chances of that? you are not a responsible dog owner if you break the rules and take your dog into a motel room that does not permit them.

of course iggy's shed!

people like you are the exact reason dogs are banned from so many places.

My how time has flown Happy Birthday Daisy

what a good girl Bella is. She is doing all the right doggy things to a new puppy who is pushing the boundaries. You also hace to accept they may never be friends, depending on what your defintion is of friends. My smallest dog is not friendly with the greys, she is old and they are too big for her. Even when she was younger the greys were never her thing. Not all siblings like each other!

you idiot!

dog still needs to be on main register to be shown in the neuter class

Miller is nearly double that weight and cost me $137

GreysandSWF hope the link works but a GAP greyhound walk was held yesterday, most of the greys had not met before. They ended up at the end of an off leash area and during the photo shoot a SWF thought they would come on over and get in on the action. I thought others might like to see how a GAP greyhound reacts to such an intrusion

people who want to commit cruelty to a small animal are not going to bother paying money for a victim, they will find one in the street, or FTGH in the paper

Nicolel, I was only curious about the dogs breeder's cause the show bred grey world is so small and you are in Vic and I could account for all recently born Vic dogs. I also don't blame the breeder for not taking the dog back, sometimes it just can't be done, but I sincerely hope you didn't have to cover all her vet costs. I admit to taking offence at, what I saw, as a swipe at GAP. GAP does a fantastic job for thousands of greyhounds, but they do have their rules and regulations to follow. I hope Phoebe gets a forever home soon, just remember she will need to wear a muzzle while out and about ( I am not aware how much you know about the law and greyhounds ) and her new owners need to know that. ETA and they are not allowed off leash even in off leash parks and wearing a muzzle

I don't actually think that's how it works though. My understanding of their protocol is that dogs go into GAP foster care where they are assessed etc - the foster carers keep detailed records of each individual dog's traits so that it can then be matched to the most suitable home...they look at all aspects of the dog and of the potential adopter (not just if they are cat friendly and the adopter has a cat) in order to make the match as close a possible. Therefore the dog in question wouldn't be rehomed straight from you; it needs to go through the same process as any other GAP greyhound. At least that's how it works here in Qld...I am assuming it is a similar process in Vic. yes that's how GAP works in Vic too. If I want a green collar for any of my dogs, they still have to go to GAP to be assessed and I pay a fee for that. And I would have already paid for all their vet work as well. My word is not good enough, nor are my many photo's, nor should they be.

I've figured out her breeder, it's not hard, it's a small world. Once a grey has a green collar they are a GAP dog, fully backed by GAP, lifetime support etc. I can fully understand GAP's reluctance to grant a collar to a dog who will be passing through. GAP has their criteria to be followed, as do many other rescue/adoption organisations. GAP can't afford to have things go wrong.

it's really hard babysitting something that cute, send her to me so you can have a rest
