I'm not going to speak to you Kat I'm far too jealous :evil:

I can't believe how choked up I got reading about how everyone feels about everyone else.....it's a beautiful thing :wink: DAL I'm pleased that you are staying babe we will be here to help you get through the long lonely days and nights when hubby isn't there :wink: I'm glad that you consider me a friend and I feel the same :buzi: No-one around me understands the connection I have here,I don't really expect them to and I have given up trying if I am honest :roll: You know the other thing I love about dogo is that there is no prejudice at all,nothing matters to us colour,race,age,fat,thin,short,tall, none of it is important the only thing you get on here is what is on the inside and thats really all that matters. (((hugs))) all round :wink:

Yep I have broad shoulders :wink: No honestly no offense to Judy either :wink:

No K I would say who........what.........?? :-? hang on I'll just put the dogs in the kitchen so that I can hear you. THEN I would let you in :lol:

[quote]Well as far as friends go, if I had the money I would travel the globe visit with everyone of you so that I could say without any question that ALL of you are my friends. [/quote] Ditto Rosebud :wink:

Of course I wouldn't leave Sheltie :roll: Calm down ................think happy thoughts...................remember your blood presure................. :wink:

Judy I hope that if I was upset and wanted to leave someone would beg me to come back :(

K is my friend...end of story.....so is Shara and Marion and Mouse and Sheltie and Malamum and Kiwi and Jen and Behle and Angelboddy and Starfox and Icey and Doglover and so on and so on (sorry if I forgot you I would have gone on for ever),please don't belittle the friendships we form on here they are important to us :( I'm sorry but the only difference between these friends and the ones I see often is geography........the ONLY reason I don't pop round for coffee is because I can't.

Good luck Kiwi and Kobi !!! Just remember at the end of the show you will get to take the best dog home :wink:

Wow Erin you are lucky to live in such beautiful surroundings :)

He he :lol: I can sympathise,I tell my kids that until I'm blue in the face.

Kodi gets this too and Lannie uses Paw wax on his ,you can get it from pet shops :wink:

Great pics guys :lol:

Not at all Debbie,I don't mind putting the dogs away when people are there but don't complain about them,it's their house more than it is the visitors.

He is a little sweetheart :)

My 2 are not too bothered,Ellie doesn't bat an eyelid but Rio is not really happy he is on 'high alert' the whole time. I think they should be banned from sale to the public,they are dangerous.

Awwww shucks Hillside :oops: Those treats are their favourites too :lol:

Yay !!!! for julie !!!! :buzi:

Oh fingers paws and everything crossed here Julie :(

I like this one best.... [img]http://www.farbgenetik.afghanen.de/Farben/Shira4J250.JPG[/img]

We NEEED to see :drinking:

The leave... When we teach our puppies this at club we start with a treat in a fist and the pup is in a sit or a down and you hold your fist in front of the pup saying 'leave' the pup will most likely scrabble at it for a bit but will then look at you as if to say " what's going on ?" this is when you give a release command such as "OK!" and then release the treat. Your pup will soon catch on and get so that the instant you say leave they will look away from the treat or sit back from it,this is when you would progress to placing the treat on the floor in front of the pup and using the same leave command and release command when you let your pup have it. Eventually you will be able to move the treats further and further forward until you will eventually be able to place the treat on your pups feet and she will leave it. Just to prove it is possible ..........a little demo from my 2.......

Too sad :(

Blimey Marion you've got me in floods here :cry: They were lovely thank you for sharing them :wink: I have one too... GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN I stood by your bed last night, I came to have a peep. I could see that you were crying, you found it hard to sleep. I whined to you softly as you brushed away a tear, It's me, I haven't left you, I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here. I was close to you at breakfast, I watched you pour the tea. You were thinking of the many times, your hands reached down to me. I was with you at the shops today, your arms were getting sore. I longed to take your parcels, I wish I could do more. I was with you at my grave today, you tend it with such care. I want to reassure you, that I'm not lying there. I walked with you towards the house, as you fumbled for your key. I gently put my paw on you, I smiled and said, It's me. You looked so very tired, and sank into a chair. I tried so hard to let you know, that I was standing there. It's possible for me, to be near you everyday. To say to you with certainty, I never went away. You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew ...in the stillness of that evening, I was very close to you. The day is over... I smile and watch you yawning and say, Goodnight, God bless, I'll see you in the morning. I think you should make this a sticky for everyone to post their favourites :wink:

I'm so sorry you lost your Bandit :( Run free at the bridge little guy :wink:
