I think I am in love with these two little girls!
They are so gorgeous. I so wish our Fudge was not such a beast with other dogs as we would definately be offering them a home!! Their foster mummy is very lucky. I love the photo of them with their foster brother all wearing their rossettes. I hope they find a lovely forever home soon or I will be even sadder we cannot offer them a home!

Sorry for your loss.

I am so sorry for your loss.
I never met him but his character shone from your posts. -
I am not sure where that is but will have a look on the net. I am in Bedford, so will try and get out there to say hi.

Congratulations! What a lovely picture. Your two older children look so grown up!!

I am sure you have looked at every possibility with Tammy and her colitis, but I wanted to mention that my old boy has got this and since changing his diet onto James Wellbeloved meat, biscuits and treats and stopping having any dairy (he liked milk and tea with lots of milk!) He has improved 99%. He only has a bad day now if he has managed to beg something from someone before I get chance to tell them not to give him whatever it is.
Again, I am sure you have tried everything, but thought I would mention my success to see if it could help. Good luck with her, I really do know how horrid that can be for the dog and for the person having to watch them being in pain and having to clear up what is done.

I am hoping I was fast enough to get the last goodie bag for my old chap.

They are lovely boys. If I had not gotten my little JRT I would have loved these two old chaps.

I have an un-opened 100g pot of this if anyone wants it. Expiry is 07/01/2011.
I brought it on advice from a friend for my dog, but then found he just needed a change of diet to stop his tummy upset. Now he is on James Well beloved meat and biscuits etc he is fine, so will not need to use the powders.
For anyone who has not heard of this, the pot states:
A Nutritional food for Duarrheo, pancreatic unsufficiency, malabsortion, weaning and convalescence.
I do not want anything for it, just want it to be of use to someone.
Let me know if any one is interested or if any of the oldie club dogs use this, and you can have it.

Hi Kelly,
so nice to hear from you and to know you are back on your feet. I am afraid I lost Tuppence last year, his age caught up with him and I had to make the desicion to let him go to the bridge. I will always be thankfull to you for allowing me to have a wonderfull couple of years with that gorgeous old boy. He fitted in so well after the initial teething problems that you would have thought he had been here since a pup.
I now have a nine year old JRT which came from my local rescue. He is gorgeous and great at home with the cats and rabbits etc, but he is a beasty with other dogs, so I have to walk him on lead and try and avoid area's with lots of dogs. It is a great shame as I miss the places I used to take Tup. This fella has bitten a couple of dogs though and although I am trying to work with him to get past this issue, it is difficult.
Its great to see your dog pics, they always look so happy and well adjusted. I so wish this little bloke would interact with other dogs, as he is missing out on so much not doing so. That is the price of not knowing their background, you never know what has caused the problem to start up in the first place.
We are going to Mundesley in a couple of weeks and had planneda trip to Happisburgh, so we may see you and yours whilst walking.....I will be the one with the small gorgeous JRT that is shouting a warning frantically when I see you that he is the devil in disguise when it comes to others doglets!!
Looking forward to pics if the 'minidoodle' when it arrives....
Take care,
Lorraine

Hi,
I have not been around for a while and have seen Nazz is no longer with you. Did he get a home?

Thanks for the info. I have been looking around and am shocked at the amount that do not insure dogs over 8 and also the amount that limit the treatment to a year. I had an epeleptic dog some years ago that I fostered and I would never have been able to afford his vet bills had the charity not paid them. I thought that a condition would be paid for for life if it started after the insurance was taken out. Does anyone think it is better to have some sort of saving account that you pay into monthly instead of insurance so you can use it on all vet bills and anything else that may crop up? I am not so sure about insurance now I have read what you get/dont get for your money.......
-
He is gorgeous, he reminds me of Tuppence, just that Tup was brown and not black.
What a sweety.
-
I just wondered if anyone could recommend a good insurance for my 9 year old JRT. They seem to either not want dogs over 8 years or are very expensive. Any suggestions would be very welcome.
Thanks.

Thanks for you advice, I have been doing the non interacting thing with him at night and he is getting better. It is enfuriating that I can take him out to wee, stay for ages and then come back in and he goes into the kitchen and does it! At least now it is only in the kitchen. I have a dog flap so he has constant access to the garden and uses it for his number two's, so maybe it is a male thing at the moment. He is gorgeous though, and his ears are huge.
He loves to play ball and is really wearing me out as I got so used to Tuppence who did not really play much and towards the end slept most of the time. This little fella is a bit of a shock to the system! -
This is Fudge. He is presently trying to 'kill' a squeaky spider toy which Tuppence never did play with!
-
He will be neutered when he has settled a bit. When he first got here he did spray a bit in the lounge and kitchen (with his leg up) and I thought this may be as he could still smell Tuppence, but now he squats to pee in the house which I find odd. I will try the stuff you mentioned and get some pics sorted.

Can anyone offer any advise please. Since we lost Tuppence a few weeks ago, our local rescue centre asked us to foster a 9 year old entire male JRT. He arrived last Tuesday and is a delight. However, he has been coming in from the garden to urinate. He used the dog flap with no issues and goes for his number two's outside fine, but on several occasions has been in the garden, come in and urinated on either the kitchen or lounge carpet. The only other issue we are having is he wakes us up early in the morning, but he is a dream on the lead, with the cats, playing with his toys, doing as he is told etc etc. Any ideas as to why he may be doing this toilet thing, or advise how to sort it please would be gatefully recieved. I think we may end up keeping him you know.......

Hugs for you and Barney. I know how awfull it is to have a poorly oldie, or youngy for that matter, so close to xmas. My 15 year old cat recently had a mammory tumour removed and she is doing well, so there is always a chance that things turn out ok.
-
I am sure being with Fionna they have the best possible place. Can I just ask if permission was sought to cross post?
Also, Fionna knows about the OC and uses our website for their oldies.
I am sorry, I did not think to get permission! Sorry if I have caused any problems.

These 3 adorable hounds came in together due to a divorce, the future was looking very bleak, they had been living outside for some time, and nodoby was prepared to take them on ----WHY..........BECAUSE THEY ARE 10 YEARS OLD
Well all i can say is what difference does that make.... ?
They are fabulous healthy & fit dogs, have beautiful temperaments, love people, even children && men!!! They are fabulous with other dogs too, are already trained, dont chew, travel fsantastically in thecar, are great around livestock, are not noisy, and have so much to give you.
Who wants a puppy anyway?
It would be lovely to home them together, but realistically we know that is unlikely, so we will look at applications for them as individuals too,
All potential adopters will be interrogated, homevetted and be expected to travel to Kidwelly, S.Wales to meet/adopt one of these fabulous dogs
If you are interested in Lassie, please send your enquiries, telling us all about yourselves and the lifestyle you are offering to;
or telephone Fionna on 07976 538588 or Olga on 07954 137761

If our place was bigger I would offer to foster them, but I am afraid we do not have the room for two big dogs. I hate to think of them not being beside a warm fire with someone showing them all the love and affection they should have always had. I hope they find somewhere soon.

That is a lovely video. She is a gorgeus lively girl, and its a great way to show there is life in old dogs!

I love JRT's, and the two girls stood out because they are cat friendly. It took us ages to find one that was ok to introduce to our 4 cats, and he is super as you can see from the pic! Shame he is not dog friendly!!
Our chap is fine with the rabbits and Guinea-pigs and even the Chinchilla bouncing about does not get him going. Old Tuppence used to run up and down outside the G-pig run and stand staring at the Chinchilla till he hid in his box, so we are very pleased with Fudge's reaction.
