Fantastic, I'm so pleased for you

Sickening and disgusting.
Sleep tight, baby

I can't get to the Wiltshire walk at the weekend
I wanted to bring Musky and Sophie and meet the lovely Chelsea (and see lots of my other favourite dogs
) but stoopid OH has to work so I won't have transport 
-
1 in 10? oh really? Anyone 'kept' their first foster dog?
Well, erm.......
yes -
I'm so sorry
Sweet dreams little Finlay
-
Fantastic to see Chelsea (and the lovely Todd, of course
) having such fun. I'm so jealous - I wish we were near a beach like that! -
The best news. I'm so pleased for you
-
Lovely
We need more Aunt Sally pics -
I can't leave out Callie - not strictly an Oldies Club dog, she came from Lizzies Barn but would have been one of the first dogs on our brand new Oldies website if I hadn't seen her first and fallen in love.
Callie was with us only 20 months, we lost her to a stroke at the end of last year. She was a very special little girl and such a character. We miss her very much.

Just a thought, but he might do better out of the house on lead. He'd be walking along anyway then, so you could either use a treat to lure him or just gently guide him into the right position then click and treat.
I used to find with Taz that directly holding a treat to his nose was too much for him, he got too excited and started jumping around. I used to have treats in my left-hand pocket instead and walk along with my hand in my pocket. He'd watch like a hawk to see if I was going to take something out - which put him exactly where I wanted him to walk.
-
It doesn't seem to bother Tricks that they are grumbling at him a lot of the time, he just sort of rebounds and trundles off in the opposite direction, bless him. He just seems happy to be in a home. And he loves treats. He nearly wagged his little tail off when Paul gave him some cheese yesterday.
Oh bless him, that's made me all
-
And how is Tricks today?
Has he decided where he's going to sleep, yet? -
STOP putting up pictures of Pixie immediately, Di, it's just mean!

Thinking of you and Finlay tonight

Our latest Rehoming poster is for Pretty Pippa, urgently in need of a home after her family has emigrated.
Help displaying this as widely as possible would, as always, be appreciated. Click the Thumbnail below to download the poster in pdf format.

Thank you for your help!

I'm loving this thread, so many of my favourite doggies here!
Cant figure out how to get a picture pasted in here but here is the link to the gallery & Joycehttp://www.rykat.org/forums/index.php?act=...=si&img=651
She arrived in rescue in terrible condition - see her story on oldies club website rehoming stories
Welcome to The Refuge Ian - I've really enjoyed all your updates on Joyce
She's a very lucky girl to have found her way to you I hope you don't mind if I put these up so everyone can see how well she's doing now:
Joyce when she first arrived in rescue:
Joyce now in her new home:

Sadly all too true!

I think we need a picture of Rex at this point................
I don't know how the Oldies Club compares with other rescues in terms of failed fosterers, but just from observation our percentage of foster 'failures' seem very high! There's just something about the oldies, once they are snuggled on your sofa it's very hard to let them go
Fantastic for the dogs who end up in perfect homes - but it means poor Cindy has to mount a continual recruitment drive for new fosterers
-
Well I'm certainly not the right person to give good advice
My only venture into fostering lasted a whole four days before we decided Musky wasn't going anywhere (I blame my daughters who adored him from the moment he arrived). Musky loves everyone, but he has bonded really closely with my 14 year old, who has decided he is 'her' dog. He follows her everywhere and sleeps on her feet in the evenings
People who foster are fantastic. In a way I wish we hadn't 'failed' so I could try it again - but then I couldn't give Musky up for the world now either
-
Fabulous pictures and gorgeous dogs. It looks like a wonderful place to walk.
I just love this one
-
The coat looks great - you are clever!
Mind you, it has all the advantage of being shown off by a beautiful model -
What a fabulous picture
Your dogs are absolutely stunning -
Oh no, poor Cecil
I don't think there is usually much the vets can do about a broken tail except wait for it to heal. Breaks near the base are the worst, breaks higher up tend not to cause too many problems. I've heard of dogs' tails being dislocated as well, which would presumably be very painful.
Just a thought, but he hadn't been swimming, had he? There's a condition dogs can get after being in cold water which gives them a limp tail which hangs down and seems paralysed and painful. It usually goes away in a few days.
Hope it turns out just to be bruised and nothing more serious

Both Taz and Molly dislike young bouncy black labs, but I'm sure this is a direct result of having met a few who have jumped all over them and refused to leave them alone. They don't seem to have any particular problems with other black dogs.
We may have just been unlucky with the ones we've met, but teenage/young labs seem particularly hard to control around other dogs, and seem to have a total blind spot when it comes to reading other dogs' "p*ss off and leave me alone" signs.
We all love older labs
