If you think he looks wrinkly in that then check out a sleeping pic!

Can someone PM me the link? I forgot to add my email addy to his list. Thank you!

Yes, we have a new boy at Chateaux de Puppee Sneefer - Oscar de la Wrinkles! Poor Oscar has enough skin for 3 pei and finds it a smidge hard to see, but Ams is working on fixing that. He needs fattening up but is already finding his feet here - he did some prancing for us last night, gave Stussy a run for her money in the tugging and toy destroying department and makes lots of very interesting noises! Oh and when he eats or drinks he needs a bib! He is a very quiet boy who has started seeking smooches and tummy rubs. He also likes to look out the front door and do his own independant thing. A lovely calm temperament is on display at the moment but I think he might have some naughty boy hiding undereath all that skin based on some of his chewing and playing techniques last night. Time will tell!

His face has matured a lot too. Good luck Timmy!!!!!

I'm sure Ams has another boy up her sleeve that we can take on!

Might get me a sign made up for the front of the shack......

My only thoughts on this T are that we don't know whether the same problem may have arisen when Caz tried to rehome her - maybe she was ok with Caz's muttley crew but outside of that comfort zone could've reverted to feeling threatened anyway? Maybe this was always an unknown risk? The unfortunate reality is she is where she currently is and hasn't assimilated well and there are no solid suggestions at this point of how to overcome that. Noone wants another attack or escape. It is an awfully sad situation and I feel for everyone who has had contact with Sage, and of course Sage herself. HM, this must be extremely hard for you because I know you must also get to see good/happy Sage or you wouldn't even be putting in all this effort. Sending strength your way...

I thought I'd be a big cry baby TK but Clancy didn't even give me a glance over his shoulder! I had to steal my own goodbye kiss! So are you and your girls ready for your next one????

Which state govt dept polices the act that governs this issue? I would write to that agency providing a copy of the ad, complete with contact details. You can do this anonymously. They are likely to only get a warning letter but it might make them think twice about being so silly. There are other ways to encourage people who have found 'strays' to do the right thing so either an animal is reunited with its owner or it is impounded and legitimately rescued. For a start if someone wants to dump an animal a lot of pounds have those after hours pens anyway - there is no need to dump an animal in an industrial estate, on the side of the road or in the bush! How would this person feel if their own animal went missing and was never found again because someone used this approach. I'm suggesting writing the letter because they may not be interested in your advice, but threat of a fine if caught doing the wrong thing again might change their mind.

Clancy left us yesterday morning. The little toad was quite eager to go too!

That's so not good. I'd be reporting it.

Good luck Charlie Brown! I really hope they are the right family for you!

What a wonderful thing some lovely DOLer has done! That's what I love about this place! Hope things get better soon Caz. I think about you regularly.

My sister had cats named Julius Sumner Miller, Socrates and Noble. Her current dog is called Wolf - try yelling that out at the park! I love goldfish and my fave was called Garry. He was a huge orange thing with air bags on the side of his eyes! I also had black moor godlfish called Tallulah and Beauregard. One of our chickens was called Lucky because she escaped death on several occassions relatively unscathed (sometimes bald!). We had nubian goats called Baa-Haa and George. I think our strangest though was a rescue boy (corgi GSD cross) who came with the name Hey Dog. We later discovered he also liked to come to the names Gordon and Ian!

Clancy had a family come to see him this afternoon. My sister and I were secretly hoping he would be horrid to them so he could stay longer with us, but he had all his best bits on display! He really liked them and they really liked him. Hopefully he has a new forever home from it. We will miss him (I'm sure I will cry!) but going to a great home is what this is all about.

T he has grown into a very affectionate boy and quite enjoys his special Aunty Tracey kisses!

CLBS I love the camping photos! He is such a cutie patootie!

At the very least you could've gotten me to 'closely supervise' the very tasty photographer! I had a ball meeting new peeps and could see you were very busy. At least now I can picture you when you post instead of some bloke called Steve!

It's been a very nice day today. All the dogs were getting a little sun in the back yard. Clancy is growing into a very handsome young man!

Bahahaha! Awesome. What awards? I was watching the QPPA judging last Saturday and then ate chocolate and drank vodka on Saturday night to drown my sorrows The MDBA awards. As they were in Brissie I assumed it was you! Apologies again for the OT.

I would love to buy this and actually learn to take good photographs! My money is shite at too because I'm paying out a lot of medical bills at present so can't take up this great offer. I hope someone else does. Huga I thought you were at the awards last Sat night - I went up to a beautiful young woman who had her hair rolled up and said "Are you Huga?" She thought I was asking "Are you a hugger?" and proceeded to stand up and give me the softest hug! Apologies for the OT....

Mita I will definately check that out. I'm happy to pay for all her work and any ongoing vet expenses but the issue has always been catching her. Plus she has a large school across the road so even if all the neighbours stop feeding her she always has a food supply.

Kadbury we named her Irish because we figured she must be a good catholic cat having all those babies! She is a beautiful looking little cat and it is sad that she got dumped and that she got so scared of people. She's done well to survive as a stray for so long and we'd love for her to have a better life in her older years. All the neighbours (bar one) have a soft spot for her. Her circumstances are not her fault.

Pepe I'm pretty sure she went back to them - she ran straight across the road to the house where she has had the last couple of litters. She is always very committed to her kittens in the early weeks even if seperated from them (it's happened before in our efforts to catch her). At about 5 weeks though she doesn't care and dumps them. And Trifecta that's not a bad idea about using the kittems as bait in the actual trap! Either way we have arranged for one of the neighbour boys to crawl under the house with a torch and see if he can at least spot them and all is ok. We don't want to frighten her away from them or move them so soon after giving birth. She doesn't need that kind of stress.

It's amazing how she is looking directly at the pug as well. I also think you are doing a brilliant job with this girl Kirty.
