  1. I remember seeing bits of white crusty stuff here and there all the time in my childhood. Why is it suddenly an issue now? Oh, that's right, this is the issue generation isn't it.
  2. People like that are just tryhard dropkicks though. You know, disenchanted f-wits... I remember seeing a couple of guys throwing stones at some ducks once (didn't hit any)... Why? Because they were trying to impress a girl of course. EDIT: I meant the kind of person that you were talking about, mixeduppup. The lady who Maxiewolf was talking about probably went straight home to get confirmation from Dr. Phil that what she did was right. :p
  3. I've experienced and heard about several stories like this. And yeah, most of the time I've had the same reaction that your husband had. You're just shocked into blankness by the level of ignorance. I wonder what she would have said to me with my Great Dane? Especially being that I never carried bags with me. :laugh:
  4. That's not a nice thing to say. Not all elderly people are like that so you shouldn't generalise. I've met some pretty nasty and rude young ones too. Young people can be nasty too? Who woulda thunk it! :D I take it that you didn't get the joke? It was meant to be the opposite of this: "Oh, what's wrong with the youth of today?! It must be all of those drugs that they're using!" Seriously speaking, stereotypes do exist. And that's all I was making fun of. One of my best friends is in his mid 70s.
  5. Oh, what's wrong with the elderly of today?! It must be all of those pharmaceutical drugs that they're using! :p
  6. I reckon that would have been the case with most of the dogs that went there. Waaaaaarrrrrrm!! I didn't come across one free sample at all. I suppose it's because I didn't have a dog with me??
  7. Really good event. There could have been some more food and shade, but I'm just nitpicking. The best thing of the day was obviously the variety of dogs on show. And boy did some of them touch my heart. Especially the ones of rare breeds, and also the ones that came up to me. :) The second best thing would have been that they played an 80s song which I'd been trying to find for ages. :) Anyway, did anybody else see the Asian Black Bear? :D When I first got there, I only counted one Great Dane. But by the end, I had counted about 10. And, so yeah, rock on Dane lovers!* Anyways then, later. :) * Minus one who was rude. PS: Thanks for the heads up, Bully!
  8. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VuJBCscmZI I just bawled out to this one a few minutes ago. It's the first song which I dedicated to Caesar after he died. Rest in peace mate.
  9. Haven't got it yet? That's okay, I'll just search for the lyrics then. Thanks anyway. Ah, of course! Cheers. LOL cool name. His last name isn't Luigi also is it? Anyway, he's a cutie. :) I thought that might have been the case. I loved all of the dogs in the video. Thanks again.
  10. Anything for their 15 minutes of fame... I wonder if she's ever been on Big Brother?
  11. ShesaLikeableBiBear - Thank you. I remember seeing that one about a month ago. Really touching. Kadbury - What a beautiful girl! Thank you, Kadbury. Do you have the name of the song by any chance? Also, could you tell me what the dogs are at 2:23? Thanks.
  12. Awesome. I'll definitely be there then. It sounds like a really cool event. Thank you.
  13. Do you need a dog to gain entry? As my dog recently passed away, I'd like to go just to see other people's dogs. Cheers.
  14. Wow, what an age!! It was still too soon though wasn't it... If you want some advice, try not to get all of your grieving done at once. Rest in peace, Lady. You were very lucky to get the sister/mother(?) you did.

  16. Looks like he had a really wonderful life. And now he has concluded it... What more could any of us wish for from this world? I feel the same way about my recently departed dog. Each soul is definitely unique. God bless.
  17. Weep not for me though I am gone; into that gentle night. Grieve if you will but not for long, upon my soul's sweet flight. I am at peace, my soul's at rest. There is no need for tears. For with your love I was blessed; for all those many years. There is no pain, I suffer not, The fear now all is gone. Put now these things out of your thoughts. In your memory I live on. Remember not my fight for breath; remember not the strife. Please do not dwell upon my death, but celebrate my life. -- Constance Jenkins

    Sorry, may. As I've recently lost a dog myself, the best advice I can give you is this: Try not to be too hard on yourself. Feelings of guilt and regret are a natural part of the grieving process. Don't expect or try to get all of your grieving done quickly. Whether we like it or not, it is a long process. Basically when it comes down to it, the more you loved, the more you will grieve. Grief is nature's way of recognizing a loss. Give yourself plenty of space and time to get through it all. If it's too much to think about sometimes (e.g. it's putting you into a rut), than just focus on something else. Go outside and go for a bushwalk, etc. No matter what you do, know that you will never forget him because of it. He will always be in your heart, and you will always love him. Last but not least, celebrate his life in whatever way you can. And realize/remember that although the pain is tough, it is temporary. The memories however are eternal. Namaste.
  19. I had one of the toughest Cavaliers there ever was. You know those tin doggie doors? Well, he used to run through one! :D Also, he was pretty much the boss of the Great Dane we had. And rightly so, as he was there first. :) I remember one time, when the Great Dane was a puppy, he was really getting on the Cavalier's nerves. So what did the Cavalier do? He chased him around the yard and bit him on the testicles! :laugh: The Cavalier wasn't a headcase. Anything but. He was just a really jealous type. And tough. :D
