yena

Thank you Vera, I don't mind people having a go at me, just don't like them having a go at Daisy, an innocent puppy. She's don't nothing wrong, yet I almost felt like some people condemned her.

I have to agree with you Supafrisk, I was shocked at peoples attitude towards you and I can only offer Hugs . Yes, I also feel unwelcome and I don't post as much, never ever will I posted a picture of Daisy, I won't have people saying 'that's that puppy farm dog'. All this is very sad, because I've made some wonderful friends on here, unfortunatley I can't help now I feel. Best if I shut up now

I'm the person that brought a puppy from a pet shop and if you asked would I buy Daisy again, yes I would. She is a perfect little girl, given a good bill of health from out vets and doesn't give us one minutes worry. I was lucky????? Sadly others are not. What were my reasons for buying a puppy. Firstly I'd got Dilys a puppy born in rescue, for once after years of having rescue dogs, I had one I could bring up how I wanted, not someone elses cast off's. Secondly I'd lost Yena, and I had room in my life for another dog. True I didn't go looking for a puppy, when I went into the shop, so maybe like someone said maybe she was brought on a whim. I'd gone to buy pet food and I always checked the puppies out to make sure they are alright. It's not easy going into check on them, the smell, the little puppies with nothing to do, sat on upturned boxes, one toy between x amount of puppies and puppies by themselves. It's not a nice place, made me cry the first time I saw them. All waiting and hoping for a good home. And yes true when I brought Daisy I didn't think about her mum and dad, and the living hell they were living in. I just wanted to give Daisy a good loving forever home and because of that I am at fault. Now, I don't go to the shop, to buy pet food, so who's checking out the puppies to make sure they are alright???? I can only hope somebody else is. I've also had 8 rescue dogs since 2009, sadly I've lost 5, some due to old age, others due to illness and lately Molly and Tillee. We'd had Molly since October 2000, she's always shown some form of aggression to our other dogs (what ever Molly's previous owners had done to her, had really screwed her up). Within seconds she could just turn violent and sadly in April, Molly attacked Tillee and Tillee paid the price of the attack with her life. Tillee was so bad that we had to make the awful decission to have her and also Molly pts. If I decided to get another dog, would it be rescue/breeder or brought from a pet-shop?? It probably would be a rescue puppy. In my heart I believe every puppy/dog deserves a good home no matter where it comes from. Now you can have a go at me if you want, call me all the names under the sun for what I've done. After all, I've heard it all before. Other might say, why I've I posted in this thread when I know I'll get slated. The reason why is, I can't believe now some people had a go at somebody for getting a puppy from a breeder. Especially when that some one, has already had rescue dogs and supports rescue. For once is it so wrong to get a dog you wanted and not get one that been casts away or screwed up by others. Please don't have a go at me for that last statement, I know not all rescue dogs are like that, just wanted a put a point across. So slate me if you want, I've had worse thing happen in my life.

Well, I would like to say it's made my day. But, I might be going for one

Me too

All puppies need good homes, no matter where they come from. I applaud you at your honesty not many people would be so honest, in case others didn't like what they had done. Welcome to your new home Lottie, I'm sure you will be very happy

She is beautiful, I can see why you fell in love For all them people that might want to give you h4ll (that's if there are any ). What do they know???

I am so sorry, my heart truly goes out to you, given time it will get easier and you will think of Caffery without crying Run free Caffery, Rainbow Bridge is waiting for you

What more can you ask for from a dog than one that burps, farts and snores and is good looking to boot. Welcome home Sally

One that works, sorry I just couldn't help myself.

One at each side of the fireplace, should look nice

Yes, please let them know a rescue place is available. I once told someone that I could get a rescue place for their little westie, whilst I was sorting it out, she went to the vets and had it pts, it broke my heart, that she couldn't wait a few more days

I meant real in the sense people knew it was going to happen. Looking at Eminem face, he sure didn't Nice bum though

So funny, I watched it without reading about it, thought it was real Best laugh I've had in ages

Her heart must be breaking, I know mine did Take your time to overcome the grief you are feeling, one day it will get better, believe me

Benji was on Metacam, I used to drop it onto a piece of bread on a morning. Now, I prefer him to wear a magnetic collar, I got a bit worried about the side effects of Metacam.

I can understand your concerns about the fishpond. We lost Monty who was a old blind dog, after he'd fallen in our pond. He normally only went on one area of garden, but on this occasion he wandered further and we only turned our back of a minute. The night it happened I had OH put holes in the pond to drain the water and gave the fish away. We always had Tillee on a lead near water, it was one of my greatest fears she might fall in and drown. If you can't fence the pond area, have you thought about a net over the top????

I do every minute of the day

Well done to you ps Tillee was one of six dogs

Tillee, had to have her eyes removed due to illness. She really was a wonderful dog, got her bronze and silver KC award. I believe all you have to do is give them the confidence to do everything and they will. Obviously you have to make certain allowances for their blindness, but, most of the time, she was allowed to do what dogs do. Follow your heart and if you do decided to give this little puppy a home, you will be well rewarded This video show her getting into the car. Sadly both Tillee and Matthew both passed away in April, but they both still bring a smile to my face.

Hugs, to you at this difficult times. Run free Coco Get well soon Charlie and stop shredding your bed

Make sure the funeral is what you want for your Mum, and not what others have decided for you or your family. With Matthew, we made it a celebration of his life, it was a wonderful day that we will never forget, full of love, joy and a little sadness. A perfect day for a perfect son
