tegk68 Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 Nigel Sam, that is one amazing story! Well a very bad and a good day for us today. Good for little Patchy who is desperate for a Foster Home and looks like I have found one for him a mile or so up the road. He's under the care of Wiltshire Staffordshire Bull Terrier Rescue and came in via a vet as a neglect case, almost starved to death, poor wee lad Bad news for my darling oldie Piggy who was attacked by three (ownerless?) dogs whilst we were out on a little walk round some woods this morning . She has been to the vets and is OK, narrowly escaping a stitch or two, just an awful lot of puncture wounds. Not nother car in the car park but mine. I'm reporting it tomorrow Woe is me: PS. I will have Daisy Celeste, I don't mind if she's sick on my pillow, honest! Goes nicely with Aggie keeping me awake with slurp sounds as she spends all night licking the sweat off my husband's bald head! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happylittlegreensquirrel Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 Sam, have you heard of a charity called Sri Lankan Animal SOS? I've noticed them in a few of the papers the last few weeks asking for donations x yes they are a much much larger charity than Dogstar in monetary terms ( hence newspaper adverts ) they are based on the south coast of the Island about 6 hours away from us Dr P one of our Sri Lankan Vets posted this on facebook today Two more dogs were sterilized recently.. Alltogether 4 after Mo left.. 6 new dogs and a cat was supported wt vaccinations.. And 5 dogs wt parasitic dermatitis were treated.. And 2 more diseased dogs were supported wt treatments.... All these are done wt the great support of DSF.. THANX DSF AND ALL THE CONTRIBUTERS.... Thanx! Dr P runs a small clinic locally to us and Dogstar is her major client, she works with us providing treatment for owned and street animals plus Dogstars Temple dogs. Dogstar pay for all the treatments and she is now able to offer free services to poor families knowing Dogstar will cover her costs and more importantly the medication costs. if you support us in any way then Dr P's thanks are for you as well Cheers guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

celeste Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 PS. I will have Daisy Celeste, I don't mind if she's sick on my pillow, honest! Goes nicely with Aggie keeping me awake with slurp sounds as she spends all night licking the sweat off my husband's bald head! Your on !, she's very good with the hen's btw, so you won't have any problems on that count . Poor little Piggie , hope she's not been to traumatised by her ordeal I can see a re-homing on the horizon ( not Daisy this time ) our neighbours who are in their early 60's I think, got themselves a little black Lab puppy at Christmas, the lady has problems walking, so surprise surprise, she''s now finding it difficult to walk her every day, and they are now complaining that she's too active . I'm going to try and stick my nose in a bit and see if I can give them some idea's about keeping her amused, but I don't know them that well, the cottage they live in is a rental, so we get all sort's moving in and out, at least if I get involved I'll be in a position to help re-homing her if it comes to that. This new Richard Hammond prog is quite good, he is a cutie, there was a bit on with him and his horses, you can see he really loves them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owl Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 Oh FFS, do people not actually think before they get a dog? Michelle I am pleased to hear you're feeling better Thank goodness the marathon migraine is getting better. No, people do not think before they get a dog. One of my dog walking mates is very worried about one of her friends who decided without much forethought to get a dog. She is dog phobic and can get panic attacks around them. Now if she had got a very steady mature dog that might have been a way forward, as that is what I did with great success. But what did she get? A pup A weimaraner A male Good thing there are dog-aware friends to help out if/when things go pearshaped, but what an insane choice. Poor Piggy Haven't read back very far so sorry for all I missed.
