  1. sorry, I meant no-waterproof, I want him to feel every last ounce of fear & panic that each of those precious puppies felt a hundred million fold. Our legal system is completely scr*wed if people can get away with this

  4. I love: BJ (bridge baby) - cos she was my very first baby who always treated me & my babies like we were her babies! Troy (bridge baby) - cos he always gave all of his heart, most of all when he saved Ben's life as well as Bonnie She knows me even better than I know myself Rosie she's all of the best bits of Troy & Bonnie rolled into one spoilt rotten but totally lovable madam who can make her tear ducts cry on demand when she wants something Cole aka Scooby Don't....(he jumped out of a 2nd storey window onto a patio & got off with muscular bruising to his hind legs & a small scrape under his chin, just to get to his "mammy").......I have never seen a dog more devoted to his 13 yr old "mammy", he's her protector, cheer leader, squishy cushion, and soul dog who pines every time they're apart, all in one big daft lump & last but not least.... TJ Troy Junior - cos he brought laughter, sunshine and a belief in the future into all our hearts after Troy's death, but most especially for Ben. (I swear that there are times when we could easily believe that TJ is Troy re-incarnated with a wicked sense of humour ) I like this thread, I've never really thought about voicing these feelings before but I'm glad that I could Dee
  5. Can I please have two very large waterproof & escapeproof boxes to return this man's actions on him?please, please, can I? Can I? please, canI?
  6. Shaun & Lauren are fine, just shaken, the only one who's skin was punctured was the Yorkie, but I'll say to my friend to have Niabhey checked out by her vet.....thanks for posting, as i would never have thought of Rabies, and I don't hink she has done either. Cheers, Dee
  7. Corinne, first of all my heart breaks for you all....I have been where you are with both my first Lab & my first GS, I have tried to keep the pain in a positive spin as far as the kids go. This probably won't come out right, so please do not be offended if this is not a view that you could accept, I think it helped my two children. I know the thought of ever being without Danny is hurting you really deeply right now, but we asked our kids to try to think of this time that is left, as time for you to say your goodbyes properly. We all hate the thought of this time arriving, but we know in our hearts that it's inevitable. However, sometimes it is worse if your canine half is taken from you suddenly, as you grieve over all the things that you feel you would have liked to have said, but with this I tried to help them feel that they had made doubley sure that our pet knew exactly how much he/she was loved and how sorely they would be missed. I hope this can help. regards, Dee
  8. Hey you guys, as you can probably guess from my title, on the second day of our holiday in Morocco, Shaun & Lauren were walking to the nearby shop with a friend's Highland Terrier Niabhey, (means Snowy in Spanish, as she's white) when they were attacked out of the blue.....by a Labrador, who came charging at them from the other side of the street. It was off it's lead but the owner was mortified & said that her dog had never done this before. As Shaun & the owner were trying to converse in their only common language...french, a language that neither of them spoke very well, they were checking Niabhey out for injuries, when they were suddenly attacked by a wild cat, who apparently caused more damage that the dog! Mind you, the dog's owner took off her shoe & started beating the wild cat with it, before it took off!! Poor Niabhey had a few shallow wounds and seemed to be in shock, so Shaun carried her home as she was very badly shaken, but Shaun knew what to do this time. Lauren, God love her, completely froze, she was too scared to move & it upset her quite badly & it took her a bit of time to calm down when they got back to the apartment, but I think that she handled herself better than I could have done.....I think that I would probably have wigged out completely and collapsed in a bawling shaking mess in the street!! Thankfully Ben was ill in bed & slept through their emotional return & by the time he woke, we were all more relaxed. This does seem unfair that something like this should happen to any family, but twice in 7 months to the same family?!! However, it does prove the view that any dog is capable of attacking!! Dee
  9. Just a wee thought......it came from my boarding kennel guy who is the world's biggest dog lover & fountain of all doggie knowledge.... Kennel Cough Vaccine is expensive & only really last for a few months at a time, it also hampers your dog building up a natural immunity to KC He advised.......don't get the jab, & if your baby contracts KC, do not go to the vet......go to your nearest chemist & buy a bottle of Benilyns tickley cough bottle, give 1 teaspoon twice a day until it clears. I have tried it & found this to be more helpful in terms of recovery time, less vet's surgery trauma & less expensive for all concerned
  10. same here with our Jasper, we were baffled by his behaviour change, it was the guy who runs our kennel told us to check out the brain tumour idea & as sure as eggs there it was. We would not have known only we were so desperate for a few days peace that we finally decided to give him to the boarding kennel for the weekend. Hope it's just down to quirky behaviour for you tho'
  11. OMG....what kind of idiotic parents let 3 young girls have these dogs out with no leads?? I hope that the boy & his mum recover.....it is a very traumatic thing to endure, physicall& mentally
  12. Well done Allie, they are a credit to you....& so cute to boo!!
  13. What age is she? I know that this might not help, but I was in the exact same position with my Greyhound/German Shephard cross 6 years ago, she looked perfectly healthy & her temp & all was normal, she could run for England & was very active during the day. However, at night time, she started having pain around her stomach & back end, and would whimper quite a bit if we tried to lift her. To cut a long story short, it turned out to be hip-joint deformation & arthritis, we tried different anti-inflammatories & pain relief for the best part of a year, but in the end up, it wasn't fair on her. We investigated every method of treatment, but were advised that she was suffering very badly. It broke our hearts to make the final decision, but for her sake, we had to, so we chose a date together as a family, a few weeks down the line, & then made a point of spending quality time with her, taking loads of photos of her and storing as many memories of her in our hearts as possible. I have still not recovered from her death as she had been my baby. We had found her in a cardboard box out on the snow-covered street on 23/12/1990, our vet reckoned that she was only about 3 - 4 weeks old, she had mothered me when I was pregnant( side-swiping our other 2 dogs if they tried to jump up on my stomach, lay beside me through the morning sickness, always managed to bring a smile to my face, no matter what), had then mothered my 2 kids, rocking their cradles with her nose, helped both of them to learn to walk, put up with all of the pulling etc, and followed wherever they went, even if that meant creating a racket outside Lor's classroom to protest at Lor starting school in P1. Ask for an x-ray, and hope for the best, we will certainly be thinking of both of you Dee
  14. Sorry to hear about Barney, I know it's hard when you have to think about letting go, it can rip you apart, I'm sure many of us fugees have been there so I know that lots of are being sent your way. I'll keep everything that I can manage to cross, crossed for you & Barney, let us know how you both get on.
