Re: whos losing what?
 

I've lost my marbles. If anyone finds them please send a pm. They were last seen in the Accy town centre region in 1984. :D

Re: whos losing what?
 

I found a bag of marbles outside peel park school playground but i think that was in 1954 they wouldn't be the same ones eh. I lost them in a big match within 10 minutes in the playground, some good players around then.

Re: whos losing what?
 

There you go Staggers....let that be a lesson in free speech for you!!!!!!!!!:D

Re: whos losing what?
 

That's not very nice staggeringman i lost mine last year in the high winds when it blew a fence down spent a few FRANTIC hours looking for him in the snow but he'd managed to get himself knocked over on Union Rd Ossy costing me a fortune in vet fees. I love my dog too bits and think there is quite a few other animal lovers on here! Let's hope you never lose anything that means a lot to you or you may well be lacking any help or sympathy :mad:

Re: whos losing what?
 

Why did'nt you have it chained up like any responsible dog owner would?

Re: whos losing what?
 

well ill tell you what well chain you up see how you like it a dog is for life you dont treat it like that

Re: whos losing what?
 

WHY??????????? In my own back garden freak of nature strong winds blow my fence down and i should chain him up. Don't ever get a dog you OBVIOUSLY haven't got a clue what your talking about!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: whos losing what?
 

If you'd spent as much money on maintaining your fence as on that mongrol mutt, then the fence would'nt have blown down in the first place.

Re: whos losing what?
 

what a complete bag of s''t. Why do people enjoy making sick jokes of other peoples miss fortunes, animals get away all the time, thats why they invented the chip system, sometimes you just can't help, oh and by the way tea leaf, would'nt recommend chaining dogs up the amount of horror stories I have heard where the dog has hung itself is beyond belief.

Re: whos losing what?
 

Unfortunatly, the **** is'nt in the bag, is it? Its on the pavement and all over the grass.
And as regards "animals getting away all the time"...I wonder why that may be? Could it be that they want to get away?

Re: whos losing what?
 

yeah if they lived with you quite possibly

Re: whos losing what?
 

critisizeing is rubbish dont do it :( :(

Re: whos losing what?
 

I've suggested a cunning plan to Tinkerbelle for Feb 26th but I don't know if she liked the idea ;)

Re: whos losing what?
 

hehehehe whats the cunning plan willow {do tell**:D

Re: whos losing what?
 

Something to do with what he said about animals needing to be chained up :w00t:

Re: whos losing what?
 

owwwwwwww pm me and let know lmao dont leave me wondering it will keep me up tonight

Re: whos losing what?
 

I hope all the lost animals are soon returned home.......and you are right bob(wife) they are like extra children. I have a dog and two cats (three if you count the black and white nameless stray that I have been feeding and giving medicine to...... because I think I have been adopted) and I wouldn't like to think they were lost.

Re: whos losing what?
 

Anyone would be upset but people make it worse if you get my meaning:rolleyes:

Re: whos losing what?
 

I think tealeaf, you really need to stop winding people up, if you lost something precious to you, you would not be laughing at it.

Re: whos losing what?
 

keep looking bob sure you will find it. have you been to the rspca in huncoat the staff their are great and will do all they can to help you. GOOD LUCK.

Re: whos losing what?
 

I'm intruiged, but whatever you have in store for the naughty Mr T, I'm sure it will be taken in good spirits.

Re: whos losing what?

Re: whos losing what?
 

Fan bleeding tastic idea justice for all pooch lovers :D :dancedog:

Re: whos losing what?
 

did you here me laughing if you read into more than one thread on this site you will understand!i feel sorry for your kids missing there pet and hope they get it back!but the question was whos losing what?so you have started to criticize before you have answered the question!

Re: whos losing what?
 

no i did take it as critizising you was trying to say that people let them roam the streets while they went on holiday im very upset and maybe i took it the wrong way but thats how it came across and so did other people think the same and you also said they will come home if they were happy maybe they cant find the way home if theve never been out before like my dog on its own i mean and not very far then they get lost.

Re: whos losing what?

Re: whos losing what?
 

Re: whos losing what?
 

The problem with chaining a dog up is that the chain is attached to a neck and thieves will do ANYTHING to get what they want....

This unfortunate dog lover got MOST of his dog back but........

owwwwwwwwwwww that is sooooooooooo sick O0MG wish i had'nt seen this

Re: whos losing what?
 

/This is bobthedjs wifes husband bobthedj

we are going through a bit of a woof patch at the moment, the wanderer as not returned. I have been told that there is a lot of dogs being stolen, father in law siad two have been swiped from church.

Re: whos losing what?
 

aww bob hope yours has just wandered, i hope someone nice has taken him in iv've looked honestly but as yet no sign of him, my little pooch, is a rescued dog so i know how you must be feeling.

Re: whos losing what?
 

Oh that is more worrying if someone is stealing dogs. Often a dog which has wandered off finds its own way back eventually. Do you have a picture of your dog? I was thinking if you did a poster and showed a pic of the dog if anyone had been approached with a dog for sale they might recognise him and get in touch with you.

Where we stay in summer someone had lost a cat and they put posters up on lamp posts around the area - got the cat back.

Re: whos losing what?
 

THEY were lucky.....;)

I think in future I will refer to you as Baldrick!
:p

Re: whos losing what?
 

:blink8:OOooh hello Less. I was worried about you. Haven't seen you for a bit so thought you might have had a touch of garlic poisoning :4u:or a bit of stake trouble. :oke2:

Re: whos losing what?
 

No baldrick, no prob's with garlic or steak in fact if ever I go to France (searching for my wandering pet horseshoe bat, (just to keep on thread)) I often have a touch of garlic with my steak. Did you know that if you hang a horseshoe bat the wrong way up all the luck runs to it's feet?
:cook38:

I must say I'm very tempted to come down heavily on Staggers & Tealeafs side in here, but I know they are big boys & don't need my help.
:evil:

Re: whos losing what?
 

After reading this thread and the other. "Why do people critisize" I felt tempted to post the following. I suppose I am more fortunate in a sense that I presently live on a very large piece of land(20 acres) and I have dog. I have lived in suburbia like most people on ordinary housing blocks and had pet dogs from time to time, and like most never truly understood dogs. The dog I have at the present time is a Bitza and just one of many I have had. It can go where it likes , whenever it likes, whatever takes its fancy. It goes on doggy adventures from time to time but never very far away. Generally speaking it stays within 100 m from 'base camp'. It understands many vocal commands. It is never tied up. It does not do its doo-doos anywhere near the house or garden. It totally trusts myself and my wife. I could take a flying leap at it if it was lying on the verendah. and wouldn't move a muscle. Thats because it has never been kicked or hit and doesn't expect to be. It lives a completely natural life as any dog should do. It visits the dog next door occasionally. It has a bucket of dog biscuits that it can eat at any time it feels peckish. It does not gorge itself although it has the oppurtunity to do so. It knows it gets a good tea at about 5.00 pm every day. and has always plenty of sweet rainwater to drink. When it has pups from time to time, it does not avail itself of a nice mudbrick shed with plenty of cubbyholes, it prefers to go out quite naturally into the bush and have them there. Its favourite spot is under the tree roots of a very large tree in a gully about 30 m from the house. It usally digs a depression in the dry dust earth. I don't like it to do this simply because I am a human and not a dog and am used to hygiene and cleanlyness. When the dog drops her pups in these circumstances, the pups are covered in a wet membrane which gets totally covered in dry muck and dust and the dog carefully eats the membrane, muck and all, and licks the pups clean. As far as I am concerned the dog is doing what comes naturally so I leave her alone. Some survive and some don't. If for some reason she needs help she will come to me whining and lead me down to the pups. I then try to figure out if she wants to move them to the shed or not. Which is usually the case. Another thing I have discovered is that dogs do not like eating out of deep bowls. They do not like getting their nose stuffed up with food or having to bury it in sloppy offerings. They much prefer to take their food on a flat surface. Hopefully I am not being to anthropomorphic, they are just observations and things I have learned observing dogs in a relatively natural environment. You may well ask what the point of this post is. Well it's quite simple. If I had to live in a town or city in the future there is no way that I would have a pet dog. Suburbia is no place for dogs. Period. Oh sure. we've all been brainwashed with pets over the centuries. We buy our dogs and stick them in little back yards and pretend we we are doing the best for them. These little hell holes where they have to crap and pee. They don't like it believe me. When dogs have the choice they poo elsewhere. If they could talk they would tell you they want out of there. I don't know what thought process's occur in a dogs head but I have seen their natural behaviour or what appears to be. I am not critisizing any one here because I have done exactly the same with pet dogs in the past nor am I saying don't have dogs in towns and cities, because people will continue to buy pets for whatever reason. As for dogs escaping bobthedj, all I can say is that if you gave the dog the love and attention that you appear to say you did, then the dog will at least call your place its home base and should return providing it gets through all the pitfalls of wandering around Accy. If it was totally peed off then you won't see your dog again , unless of course someone catches it and returns it to you. Back yards are prisons for dogs and when you take them for a walk It's like supervised weekend leave.

Those are my thoughts and observations. I am not an animal liberationist but I know the full meaning of the phrase. 'it's a dogs life' There is a lot more I could say but I think I have made my point.:)

Re: whos losing what?
 

I can see where you are coming from because I've spent time on a farm in Ireland where the dog/dogs were always free to come and go as they pleased just like yours. They very rarely came into the house and if they did it was only when they wanted to, but they were usually somewhere close by when they weren't scrounging off the neighbours and giving the impression they never got fed!

I've also lived in town and had a pet house dog who was taken for long walks on a lead in areas where he needed to be on a lead and allowed to run free where it was safe for him to do so. He always ran back to me and eventually would trot along side of me, "asking" to go back on the lead before we started heading for home.

Just like it takes all sorts of people to make a world I guess it takes all sorts of dogs too. I believe most house dogs are happy provided they get enough outdoor fun and excercise.

I think bobthedj's dog is young and could well have got lost, but there is also the possibility that he's been kidnapped.

Re: whos losing what?
 

Yes all too true Willow. I can never get everything in sometimes when posting. It starts to get a bit long and I give up.:) Just as an aside(nothing to do with this post) We Accy outsiders have to be very careful to cross the 't's and dot the 'I's. Watch the 'p's and 'q's and be mindful of having to qualify everything we post. As opposed to the Accy webbers who have the oppurtunity to meet up with each other from time to time and get to know each other face to face. You have a freedom of posting to each other and knowing exactly where you stand with each other that we don't. I don't mind of course because that's the way things are. I'll just have to make plans to descend suddenly on you lot one day and get to know you all better.:D

Re: whos losing what?
 

All my animals have had collars with tags giving their name and our telephone number. Having had a wandering cat, who was a complete tart and would go off with anybody, it came in useful a few times. If I had another dog or cat now (difficult in a Central London flat and working full-time) I would certainly have it microchipped.

Certainly try the local vets, call the RSPCA, and/or the Cats Protection League for moggies.

Incidentally, unless you intend to breed from them, ALL cats should be neutered. It does stop them wandering off.

Re: whos losing what?
 

Wow...thats a lot of mis-understanding and bad vibes...i think that a jokes a joke and let sleeping dogs lie...lol
