Hi everyone

I know it's disgusting the way some people treat their animals. Loyal loving pet's.

A lot of places will be full on the run up to xmas and no doubt there will other's after the novelty has worn off.
I sent my rellies an email to say I wasnt sending them cards this year and I am giving to the pdsa and
rspca. Some of them are doing the same.

I have 3 cats all related all rescued & 2 dogs rescued it would be nice if folks wanting animals would look at the rescue option first then maybe the breeders would not have such an easy time selling pets. a friend has just rescued a lab one of last christmas's cast offs the injuries that dog has suffered are enough to make your blood boil. Merry Christmas to real animal lovers everywhere. Gen xxx

I nearly dumped one of our Labs, Trader, this morning. Lol.

Cut a fruit bun in half for the OH, ready to go in the toaster.

Turned away for a few seconds.

Next time I looked there was an empty plate and Trader's jaws just chewing the last of it.

He got sent to his cage for a few minutes, but I am sure it won't be the last time: Fagins brats have nothing on him.

A Doggy Wonderland

Dog tags ring, are you listenin'?
In the lane, snow is glistenin'.
It's yellow, NOT white - I've been there tonight,
Marking up my winter wonderland.

Smell that tree? That's my fragrance.
It's a sign for wand'ring vagrants;
"Avoid where I pee, it's MY pro-per-ty!
Marked up as my winter wonderland."

In the meadow dad will build a snowman,
following the classical design.
Then I'll lift my leg and let it go Man,
So all the world will know it's
mine-mine-mine!

Straight from me to the fencepost,
flows my natural incense boast;
"Stay off of my TURF, this small piece of earth,
I mark it as my winter wonderland.

We are on our 4th rescue dog

2 from RSPCA
1 from Dalmation Resue
1 from private rescue

Love my animals to bits, hate to see them being ill-treated.

Maybe this country should do what the Americans do and Jail people found guilty of neglect and abuse.
Either that or do to them what they have done to the poor animal

There are times when I could willingly dump our dog!!! LOL.

He's ex-rescue from the Dogs Trust - and he has "problems" bless him, but he'd been in kennels for a year when we got him so it's to be expected I suppose.

I'm planning on getting the local dog whisperer to visit in the New Year to help us sort him out. We have successfully regressed him to a puppy - that was the last bit of advice we had - but now we have to work out the two or three remaining issues.

I love having a dog around - don't care about the hair and the toys all over the sofa - love him to bits.

Hi Lou

Cant really explain what Rocky was....longish in body like a sausage dog type, with a sort of corgi face...lol

He was a real little character.

Hubby really wanted him, but the staff said he was quite old, so we didnt think it fair having two small kiddies, they wouldnt have given him peace at all!!!

The lab sounds lovely, although we did think more on the lines of a smallish dog, we already have two cats and an African grey.

He needs a bit of training but is house trained!!

He'd love long country walks ;-))))))

Hi

No we didnt make the open day, we had just moved from Crossgates area, up to where we are now, so didnt get chance.

Love rotweilers (my parents owned one when we were kids)

I used to have a staffie, lovely dogs, but he sadly died.

Will defo let you know when we find one....think we have to go re-register soon, as they said the forms only last for 6 months.

Lee thats our one!!!!!
You're not far from me then!
Did you go to the open day this summer???? I was with Mr. and Mrs. Throp doing the teas and BBQ!
(and showing off with Molly on the agility, lol)

Amanda Sands is at that one too!! She's blonde and skinny (scratch her eyes out, pmsl)

They just collected a big Rotty from us at Adel - been left there by his owner after he went for a sheep :-( - Not a good one for you)

Oh, i will probably know your dog - please let me know who you get!!!?
