I just love these two, but what a sad story they have
http://www.oldies.org.uk/?p=32585
I hope someone comes forward to give them a nice comfy home - possibly for the first time in their lives!

Not sure about proper hair on pads, but there is a condition (who's name I can't remember) where the keratin that the pad is made of grows excessively and gives the appearance feathering or 'hairs', it can affect their noses as well.
ETA - just googled and it's called Nasodigital Hyperkeratosis.

OMG it's Benji
I should point out that he doesn't deliberately get fed when we're eating, but somehow he manages to get away with sitting under the table and anything dropped is fair game! I guess house rules don't apply when you are ancient, nearly blind and very deaf

I guess it takes quite a while to really build up fitness - but I'd also guess that because of his size and conformation he's never going to be as good a sprinter as Az or Mollydog and would wear himself out quite quickly going flat out. He might do better over distance at a slower pace - but hard to check that out unless you can persuade the local deer to slow down a bit

George and Meg are a pair of simply adorable 9 year old Border Terriers who are in an Oldies Club foster home in Radstock, Somerset, waiting for someone to offer them a permanent home.
Settled quickly: George and Meg settled into their foster home straight away and have been fine to be left for up to 5 hours. Meg is a lively and friendly girl. George is more wary of new things but is very happy to be a lap-dog.
Their perfect home: George and Meg would like a home together, where they are the only pets. They could live with teenagers.
I'm George and this is me before I went to the groomers!
I'm Meg and this is me before I went to the groomers!
Out and about: George and Meg enjoy their walks but George in particular barks at other dogs. Their foster carer is working on this and it is improving. Their recall is OK if they know you have treats! They are OK in the car.
Favourite pastimes: George and Meg enjoy playing together. George would like to be a lap-dog. Meg loves her ball and insists on you playing with her. She will put her ball in your lap if need be!
Dislikes: George can come across as rather wary and a little growly at first until he feels secure with his situation. George and Meg don't seem to be frightened of anything in particular though.
Their perfect home: George and Meg have always lived together and it would be too traumatic for them to be parted now. They are therefore looking for a home together. They need to be the only pets in their new home as they wouldn't want to live with other dogs and they aren't good with cats or small furries. They could live with sensible teenagers.
Health notes: George and Meg are neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, wormed and flea-treated. Meg has hip problems but this doesn't need medication at present. The vet has suggested that in the future she will probably need a pain killer/anti-inflammatory such as Metacam. She can run around and play but she can't jump on to a chair or into the car without help.
Meg again: this is how I look after a trip to the groomers!
Summing up George: A little feisty and wary at first; then he's a lovable lap-dog.
Summing up Meg: Fun; playful; loving; a bit feisty.
Summing up the twosome: George and Meg are typical terriers; a bit bolshie with other dogs, but two delightful, amusing little characters to have around. They would be perfect for terrier-experienced owners who will love and adore them.
Sleeping beauties!

That's very powerful - and very sad
Will definitely crosspost!

That's good news Kathy - I tried to call you earlier to see how it went so I'm pleased to see the update.
Let's hope that the extra supplements plus limiting her activity make her more comfortable

What a great update, it sounds as though he's doing really well
-
What a fantastic achievement - and a fantastic amount to have raised for Oldies!
Thank you so much

Yeuchhhh
Perl - please tell Duke that playing with dead things may be enormous fun, but is likely to cause a certain amount of disapproval amongst his humans, and is unlikely to earn him many sossijes.
It could even result in a dreaded bath
-
It sounds completely daft to me
Benji is a small hardy terrier-type who's still going strong and full of beans at 15, Kenneth Kendall would be 100 by the time his dog is that age. What a shame he isn't going for a middle-aged or older dog.
-
Awww, I'm really pleased it worked out to pick him up today. We definitely need pictures!
-
What a superb picture. Duke is going to be a fabulous dog for someone
