hi all
I have persuaded my husband to take all his computer manuals books about cars,trains and railways in to his bungalow sized garage which has started to do so all is not lost.Regarding gingivitis ginger and tortie cats are often the patients our oldest who died last year at 26 had very good teeth right til the end but lily who is 20 was a feral kitten as always had baby teeth and she can still bite!!! We moved here with 10 cats ad 4 dogs but getting older means we have not replaced any,Elle my friend with the 40 poodles now has 32 cats all from the same place,some who are very oriental looking

Goodness , Doglet , 40 poodles and 32 cats! Wherever does she house them all?
Are you weakening yet..........?
Did you watch the Diamond League? Last one next Saturday.

Yes, Doglet, how does she house them ? Does she run some sort of refuge, in which case she might have kennels etc for them? Does she then try to find good homes for them? ~Very difficult to be sure they go to good homes!

Yes she runs a rescue centre and I do some homechecks if the dog or cat are coming down south and sometimes over night them if they are going down to Cornwall or Devon,They do manage to home most of their animals quite quickly but there are some who just no one seems to want and ten the perfect home comes up,she has just homed a blind dog who had been there for months and is doing very well with his new family

I admire her Doglet, because I am over sensitive when it comes to rescuing ill-treated animals - I mean I would do it of course if I ever found one, but to make it my job, I don't think I could. Take me to a refuge to get a dog and I come out of there in tears, wanting to take them all!

Luckily not everyone is like me!

We got our present dog from a rescue centre - from Battersea Dog and Cats Home. Yes, it is very distressing seeinga ll the animals looking at you so hopefully when you walk around, and you feel really distressed and almost criminal leaving the unchosen ones behind.

hi elle/pigale

The cat kennels have underfloor heating and very nice beds and an open closure with toys water bowls etc quite a different life from the ones they had been living The dogs have similar kennels but much large open enclosures and a fenced paddock for them to run free in ,it isnt a home but they are very well looked after until the right one comes along

Hi again,

The people I really could strangle are those who buy a puppy (or kitten, but more noticeable with dogs) for Christmas, and when July/August come, leave it on the road somewhere, sometimes with a note saying 'Please look after me', but more often without anything, and even tied to a tree. (Where passers by rescue the poor animal and take it to a centre)

The owners are punished with a hefty fine if the dog is tattoed/chipped, but unfortunately there are many owners who do not comply with the Law (having your pet tattoed or chipped that is) and escape unpunished.

Morning All,

How is everyone ?

It seems ages since there was a post on this thread - rapidly becoming an endangered species ! So thought I would bring it to the top !

Hello, Pigale!
Yes, it is quiet on here - both yesterday and today. Perhaps folk have just hit a busy spell? Hectic weekend?
We ourselves have been busy meeting up with family - and yesterday enjoying what might well be the last nice day of summer (warm with blue skies, and sunshine!) because it's dull and miserable again today!
What have you been up to?
