Maxi is a shih tzu too. She's far from hyper - doesn't even bark except when the door bell rings. She had a broken leg at one time and it never set right. So now it doesn't bend - it keeps her from running around too much. The poor girl can't climb stairs or jump on the furnture. She's a good doggy and stays in the house most of the time.
ABADS
Well, this string shows just how decieving photographs can be! First Kell mistakes a Great Pyrenees for a Samoyed (BIG dog for small), and then I mistake a Sheltie for a Border Collie (small dog for---well, larger, anyway!)Toadlily, what are those lovely babies going to grow up to be? It's hard to believe that ol' Smokey Joe on the left there started out pure white! (I guess that should be 'Jo'---you did say she's a girl.)
He was ill. I cared for him and gave him freedom back this summer.
By By eagle
O my Ludger! That must have been an experience! We don't see eagles very often here. What kind is he?
Itīs a Fisheagle. They overwinter in Afrika and stay spring an summer in Europe.
OH my - now that's impressive Ludger.
Jeanne,
thats nice. I like Eagles. They are very rare in Germany and I was really glad when he was healthy again.
He had a bad injury at his wings. He crashed at a electry cable.
This one I got as an baby. Some days old.
I feed him some months by hand.
Do you run a bird sanctuary too?
Lol,
I am member of a society for the prevention of cruelty to animals. Puh what a word..in german itīs just Tierschutz...
I get all wildliving animals people found in nature.Too young for surviving or injured. Or in winter much hungy birds.
Oh gosh, this must have been a wonderful experience. I'd love to just see one up close.
Thank you Jeanne,smile...
Shirley, IT IS A GREAT EXPERIENCE to care this poor animals and then give back freedom to them.
I have cared birds and after letting free they stayed weeks here, just free but like pets. Only me could feed them or touch. Other people could not do so, the birds flew away.
It was like a saying thank you to me.
Years ago I got a young female owl,cared for ande set free.
She stayed here during the winter and next spring she catched a wild owl husbund.
It was so funny to watch...: She came at nights and visited me and got some catfood and her husbund was crying in the trees far away from our house.
Ludger you are wonderful...
We have some wild life rehabilatators around here....I was going to take the test for it and become lisenced.They kept sending me paperwork to do it but with the job I have now there is no time for me to care for them.
People always give me birds and other wild life that needs help.My favorite was 2 baby flying squirrels......
My DIL does the same thing. She wears a pager every couple months to be on call for when people call with either baby animals or injured, etc. etc. She really enjoys it.
CC,
I have had some squirrels in house. After some weeks they conquer it. And you have to watch the cats....
LOL,I had a family of Chipmunks living in my house,they were stealing Ariels food and her walnuts.They were not shy either,they'd run across the livingroom,right over your feet.I use'd live traps and caught them....sent them to live WWWAAAYYYYYYY far away......but they were cute......
Lol CC
You are so right.
All time you are shouting: No, dont do, do away, dont eat it. But will you ever really be angry with such sweetys?
I loved them all times.
GL
MsBatt, these pups are a cross. The mother is a blue heeler, and the father is a Catahoula. They are going to make some awsome cow dogs with this type of a cross!
wow......I just love everyone's babies! CC your bird is awesome.....and I bet loud! Ludger your eagle is incredible even if he was having a bad hairday! LOL and your owl is so cute!
Ms Batt.......where are your dogs? Judith's dogs have been known to eat whole brug packages in one gulp!
LOL - This MUST be the best example of thread Hijacking I've ever seen!! I love it!! ôŋô
Awesome indeed, Toadlily! I've had a Catahoula mix before, and know several Blue Heelers. (In fact, the only serious dog bite I ever got was from a Blue Heeler...but we worked things out between us, and became, if not friends, at least amicable enemies, lol!)
Sadly, Kell, my package-eating pup is no more. He went to Dog Heaven back in November, and his mom, too. As you may remember, Hound had started digging out under the fence back last spring, and as the summer wore on, he got so good at it that he could dig 'em faster than I could plug 'em up. Of course, everytime HE got out, the girls would go too, but they were all pretty good about coming back once they'd given a good barking-to to whatever had disturbed 'em, and I just gave up. Wednesday, his grandma, went AWOL in September---just didn't come back one day. After a week of searching, I just gave up. And then on Nov. 15th, I came home to find Zero dead in the driveway, having obviously been struck by a car. Hound hasn't been seen since, and I can only assume he either was hit as well and didn't make it home to die, or frightened so badly that he hopped a freight and hasn't stopped running since.
Now all I have is Sydney, the great-great-grandmother of the famous flower-pot eating dog, Hound. She's my house baby, asleep on the bed even as we speak.
oh I am so sorry Judith! I know you loved them!
Is this the doggie thread? LOL
Mine is too ugly to post:)
C'mon, Owen, let's see the pup!
My dog and my daughter-in-law.
Katie is a maltese, and does not like to pose for pictures:)
owen, your DIL is beautiful and I bet Katie is too. I love maltese.

Judith,
Here is a picture of our Blue Heeler.."Patches"..she also thinks she is bad!!!
he looks like he is smiling Glory!
MsBatt, I got some bites from my dog too. Ruth DD has an American Cocker. She w as not very nice to it, so they didn`t get along very well and she got tired of it and wanted to put it to rest. I bought Cocker free and had it for many years. He was one of his own. I kept his hair short as he didn`t like to be combed *lol* The problem was that it was me that clipped his furr. The funny thing was that he never warned before attempting to bite. If lucky I would feel his back tensing up a bit and then "haps! Snap! Snap! Zack! Zack! Yeeeooooowww!" The last word was always mine. However, I loved him to the last minute. Both of us came a long way with mutual respect *lol*
Glory, she's a beauty!
Yes, Tonny, "mutual respect" is the key. The Blue Heeler that nailed me was the dog of the brother of a friend, and he was always trying to steal my shoes when we went over there. I'd have to chase him down and get it back, and one day he decided he wasn't giving it back. When I tried to wrestle it away from him, he bit me! Silly dog, when he bit me, he of course HAD to let go of the shoe, leaving me "armed and dangerous", so to speak. I absolutely wore him out with that shoe!!! He ran off crying, and we didn't see him for about an hour. Then he came sneaking back to where we were sitting at the picnic table, and started whimpering and licking my feet.
He's never TOUCHED my---or anybody else's---shoes since.
Ha! Don't know if that is good dog training, or People training. Guess you both learned something that day.
My God,
we should open a "petīs thread" here at Davesīs. It is so nice and good to see all our pets.
I love it.
GL
LOL Ludger - there is a whole Pets forum. Even Monika has posted on it.
OK Liz,
I will search it.lol
To be honest: I am only looking and watching this Brugmansia-Group and BGI.It is important to me because I love it.
Hibiscus, I have to admit that my behavior that day was more "reactive" than intentional training---but the little b*stard's not bitten anyone since, so at least it was effective. Saved a lot of shoes, too. (*grin*) This poor dog had never been given any real training, nor even any discipline---he was accustomed to getting away with anything he wanted to, and I was far from being the first person he'd bitten. But so far, I've been the last, and it's been about three years now.
Doesn't hurt to have our own once..........the Brug Pet Parade........LOL. Brings us all back to a mutual enjoyment and sharing and hilights our commonality as opposed to the other day.
Yikes! I haven't been here in awhile.
And this thread literally 'went to the dogs'!
LOL ....
