Hope you feel better soon - cuddle up to AJ - their heat helps somehow.

😃 Wizard your mention of Gossy hiding food made me laugh. We lost Benji in Feb and the other day i was cleaning behind the cushions on the leather settee, and yes i dont do it very often 😃
Theres more to life than doing that 😃
Anyway i found ?4.31, a lighter, a mobile phone and loads and loads od dog biscuits that Benji had hid, it was a bitter sweet moment.
He also once hid a smelly old bone under my husbands pillow 😃

They are nice looking coats Jaycee winter coat does not fit when we got her in March we got her a coat but it's a little to tight to say the least. So many pretty colors on there hard to know what one would look the best. We might have to get Jaycee one of those coats she is all ready shaking in the mornings.

Welcome to the forum, please post some pics of Marley when you can 🙂

Jaycee chases shadows of all kinds it must be because they do not chase her.

Reminds me of Buddy when I have one of those PBS nature shows on where they have a close up of the animal with the sounds. He goes over to the TV and checks the sides of the TV "Where's that bird"?

Otis does have a fascination with my Oral B, so long as it stays in my mouth and doesn't get close to his..manual is the way to for him..

@Forever:

This discribes zoey exactly. the crouch and pounce and the wearing out of dogs. She ran 3 italian grey hounds one after the other into the ground and was waiting for the next dog to come along so she can still play. Also whenever a new dogs comes to the park she plays greeter at the gate. People are always amazed at how fast she is.

Buddy plays greeter at the gate too and goes to the gate when anybody leaves. Buddy will run around hard for 1 hour or more at the park then when we get home he runs in the house and grabs his toy.

Good for Buddy! Get those little nasty critters.

@Elscodobermann:

Best date we have for this talk is either 20th or 27th March. Will post more info when its available.

cheers

Have made a note Scott:D

Vicki,
I am glad she didn't get sick, the poop Gus had was unreal, never seen anything like it..
Yes Otis is a junk food junkie..I guess since he eats raw, when he steals it better be good tasty, not so good for you food..

Today Otis is not feeling hip at all, he wouldn'ty eat his breakfast and he just threw up twice on our nice newish dogbed…great..

Poor baby, and it is his 9 mo old birthday today...

I was thinking about it, and it may not be the actual noise that bothers him. The fireworks in July didn't bother him, and neither did the parade (firetruck sirens, marching bands, and all) that recently went by our house. It may be the vibrations. We are close enough to the base that our house actually shakes enough to knock the pictures and stuff off of the walls (we actually quit hanging photos on our walls because we had replaced so many frames).

I'm still going to try some of the suggestions and will definitely figure out a new schedule for him. Thanks again.

Made my eyes well up.

I promise my dogs they will never suffer. When I had to put my 16 year old, Congo, down. I did it with a smile and held him and told him he would have a young body again and that there were lots of bunnies to chase in "puppy heaven".

I know people who shouldn't own any animals, ever. Luckily, I am not one of them. I have come to the realization that I will always own dogs. They are just who I am and I am lonely without them.

Thanks for the "10 Commandments". They are true.

It is so sad to see our pets age.
BDawg, your post broke my heart.

My dogs do this all the time. Well, Lexi does anyway- she's the only one who can fit/balance on the back of the sofa. 😉 ha! And she'll tap your head in a heartbeat if there's something you have that she wants! lol

Sounds like your having fun. Way to much info about last night LOL… I am not even going to ask about the optional. You better rest a little those furbabies are going to be ready when you get home. Have fun and enjoy.

thankyou for all your well wishes Oden is doing much better but sure gave mummy a fright 🙂

:D:D:D Would love to see pics

I have a very good friend at work who lives somewhat in the country and has lots of what she calls "barn cats" around her. When she first came to work at my office she had 2 cats, hers and her mother's, who had come to live with her, since then she has "adopted" 7 more from her yard. She started feeling sorry for them and started putting food out there for them. Her husband has finally said "no more". She is a "good" cat owner as she has spayed/neutered each cat she has adopted and keeps them inside. Now she has become involved in rescue of the rest. If she thinks it doesn't really have a home she will try to catch it, take it to the vet for a check and spaying/neutering, try to get it socialized with humans and other cats, then try to get it adopted out. She does all this with a little bit of help from a rescue organization and a break on price from her vet but she is still out of pocket quite a bit and I respect her all the more for her commitment to the betterment of the lives of these forgotten animals.:) We all wish there were more responsible cat, and dog owners, for that matter, out there like her.

My son is a large boy not due to not walking just large like my uncle. Eli was 13 end of July and his weight is 130 lbs or so and 10 men's shoe to 10 1/2 and he is 5'6. Eli big boy but I have seen some kids that walking really was needed every day. That is my baby.
