Hi there ,

It's always great to hear from you 'Lurking' lot! I'm a haphazard contributer myself ...I come n' go in fits n' starts...nobody seems to mind. Sometimes I feel like I have to stay away from cyberspace just to make myself get other things done!

We're quite a 'doggy' mob on this Forum aren't we. I implusively went & got myself 2 puppies (Bichon/Maltese/Shih Tzu mix) last year (Sugar N' Spice..collectively known as 'The Sistas'). My lovely old Dalmatian/Lab had died a year before & I too said that's It..no more Dogs...but heh we Dog Lovers can NEVER quite manage to stick to our guns!

My pair scamper around after each other & keep the neighborhood under watch from our corner yard. They're great company & I have fun sitting with them in the afternoons grooming them & talking to them about their busy social day.

Aussie dogs are Outdoor dogs..only come inside for a while before they have their dinner & go to their back verandah kennel where they sleep..summer & winter! They chase each other & skid up & down our long wooden floored hallway..making the most of their time inside but they never complain when going put to their bed...probably because they know it's yummy Tukka Time as well...Bribery!

Keep on chatting to us....that way you'll feel part of the mob & even LESS lonely!

Cheers,

in Oz

Hello group,

I mostly just lurk and feel less lonely. A year ago I had to put my dog down. He was a stray that I had had for 13 years. I was so lost and afraid to get another dog. I wouldn't have anyone to leave him to. After a few months my Dr. suggested a service dog. The VA wait list is so long that I probably wouldn't get one. So I researched and found a 6 year old Boxer at LA Boxer rescue. I trained him with the help of Petsmart. He goes everywhere with me. He has been very good for me. I can't walk him as he needs but my Dr had ordered a scooter for me. I take Mikey to the store. It gets me out and people ask about him more than my O2 leash.

I want to thank all of you that have been here sharing for the 2 years since I was diagnosed.
