Sadly many of the rescue centres charge £100+ and are very strict on their criteria for re-homing which is why cats/dogs languish in kennel situations instead of being in a loving home :'( :bang: :bang: :bang:
Shitezu are cute ……… were bred I think to sleep in muffs to keep hands warm and to be guarding …… or was that Lhasas? same genealogy though. My cocker used to grin and frown, she was also great at the Very Big Sigh ;D
I met a BichonxCavalier last week. 5 months old and looked nothing like it's parents ::) and was beginning to food and toy guard. Such a small pup to be growling, I talked long with the owners giving hints: i.e. keep toys only to play with and not allow him to have them at other times; to feed dry food by hand and to use something he really likes food wise when doing 'swapsies' for his toys; to sit in his bed and invite him in ….... I had other ideas later on ::) like keeping him on a lead when playing so that he can be reeled in and the toy taken off him. At 5 months he's too sharp to be growling >:( - he needs to be taught manners but I think the owners were a little soft - he is black and curly and a bundle of 'I'm having my own way' - 'butter wouldn't melt' ;D.
I loves a challenge I does ;)
Is it hygienic to eat after a dog has licked your hands to death.
I like my dog way more than I like any of the people I know!My husband would say that this is so me ^ ;)
But do you warn people you have a dog so they can make a choice ... or don't you ever invite people round?
However: it is the owner's property not the dog's, the dog is the visitor. Therefore there is no need for a dog to be protective = no barking!But the dog doesn't know that CLKD :-\ :-\
Omar, perhaps world's longest cat, finds internet fame ........ crikey! That's one large cat ;DI saw that on the BBC News website - what a wopper he was but absolutely gorgeous :)
Wow, what a pussy cat x 2!
I just read your comment jaypo and thought why did a butterfly win crufts 😂 think I need my coffee a tad quick 😉 and google to see what it looks like as have no idea x😂😆 yes caffeine QUICKLY!!!!
:'( only had him a week from rescue centre and had to call vet out who put him to sleep in our kitchen (he had bitten me on the leg then launched himself at OH, who ended up on the worktop), vet said guaranteed he had bitten before. Story we were told was given up to rescue centre as owner got knew job and couldn't walk him as much. Just thankfully he waited for us to get him home before going crazy, we had just been to the beach and throwing frisby etc for him with young child playing beside us. It was very traumatic, I had longed for a dog since childhood and was so sad, couldn't face it again.
14 years aint' long enough but seems to be the average age for most breeds. A westiexcairn ;D ........ fast then :scottie:
Now:
a) what colour?
b) has a tail?
c) which bed does he sleep in?
d) house training going well?
e) eats everything he can get his teeth into?
f) apart from "You Little X" does he have a name ;D
g) how many in the litter?
h) what was the Mum?
...or down my pants. 🤣😂The mind boggles... :o ::)
Kongs filled with 'stuff' keep them occupied too.
Sheila's been at the gin again ;DNot quite enough sadly :drunk:
groundhog - How is Barney settling ?
C.C. - what colour ? I met one recently for the 1st time in all the years of chasing dogs (long story short ;D) and she was adorable.
Another chilled mauled by a bully XL apparently,thankfully not killed but that's 9 deaths in two years by this breed and of course let's not forget the endless small dogs they've killed too >:(
More than 100 golden retrievers brought “complete doggy mayhem” to a Sussex lido in what is thought to be the biggest dog swim event in the UK.
On Saturday, "Dogtember" began at Saltdean Lido in Brighton - a series of swim sessions for both dogs and people over four weekends.
One organiser said about 8,000 dogs and people would take part in the 40 sessions.
A 6 legged spaniel has been found in a bin, heard by a passer by: guessed by Vets at 15-16 weeks old. Also has two vulvas, so maybe a conjoined twin part of which was absorbed by the little dog. She's in care of fosterers B4 decisions are made about surgical intervention :-\. Why?
Jaypo,
Don't let my cats know but I do this to them too! Once they have disdainfully turned their noses up at the expensive offerings,I get one of the madly expensive time out and pretend to scoop some on top.... Sometimes works but I Sometimes have to actually open the to and use as a topper.
And CLKD? Whose in charge? Definitely not me. 😾🙀
