goughy 3,736 Posted June 9, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2020 People always wonder how they'll move on after the passing of their best friend, and always think that it'll take a while, but I actually think adopting a new pet helps. You're not replacing, and not moving on. But I really think it actually helps to have that new friend to look after, and for the company. Someone else who is totally relying on you. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We lost 2 dogs within a year. They were 17 & 16. Thought we could never do it again, but Clover has been the best tonic for the loss. We'll never forget the others, and she hasn't replaced them. I think having a totally different personality has just meant that we have a new best friend, and will still always remember the previous. My God it'll be hard when she eventually leaves us though. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ComfortablyNumb 1,125 Posted June 10, 2020 Report Share Posted June 10, 2020 This is Muzzy. He lives in a little long narrow pool in a steep rocky section of a stream I fly-fish in. Most of his mates died in August in the drought. I went there one day and there were dead Murray Cod floating everywhere as the O2 level fell too low - which must have been very low for a resilient native species like Muzzies. Sad day, it will take years for this stream to recover to it's former glory. Then in Feb, the creek flooded. Why Muzzy didn't swim downstream in the high flow to a larger pool is beyond me, but he chose to stay in this hidey hole in the rock face - it is only about 7m long & 1-2m wide with a deep slot at the top end. Can't be much food washed in there, but he is way to smart to eat my flies - just follows them, then stops & looks at me as if to say "not this dickhead again".

goughy 3,736 Posted July 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2020 If it helps, my mate insists on wearing compression tights......... with no shorts......... for a walk, pushing a pram with a cat in it............ Let your imagination run riot! At least I'm walking a dog. And not some wussy little handbag sized thing like a chiwawa or mini foxy.... But a dog I don't have to lean down to pat. His wife is blonde, 6 foot (4 inches taller than him), size 8 or 10, and is CFO for a govt funded company, so even if I wanted to I'd have no chance! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

With all the different colours of BC's these days, I just love B&W's. Maybe I'm just a traditionalist. My wife loves wheaton's. I've had 3 B&W's so far. They are so popular now days! There are so many in my neighbourhood. They were more sparse when I had my first, and even second ones. Just beautiful dogs. There's a coffee shop in Samford in Brissie called "Collies and Co", and they have pups there. You can book a time to play with the puppies if you book a table there. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
