This is my little cheeky little 7 1/2 week old Pomeranian "Winx" on youtube...........

.........can you give us a thumbs up, please.
That is a cute little dude for sure! I don't have a pet right now, but lost my best buddy Titan 3 years ago. Still can't bring myself to get another one.
He used to get in my face to walk if I waited too long to walk him in the morning. I walked 2 miles a day for 10 1/2 years with him.
Here is video I took one time of him talking for his walk. https://youtu.be/LxI7V7EHdnI
He also had a fixation with any kind of reflection, like chasing the back door when the wind blew it. https://youtu.be/0IHR5DmSlHk
Too cute. My big guy would show that annoying rabbit a thing or two. This is Levon the Terrible on his first birthday.

Too cute Keith, bless his soul. He is lovely. Don't let it stop you, I'm sure Titan would want you to have another mate.

The Chihuahuas are my wife's. I've lost count of how many she has. This one is Souris (Soo ree - Mouse in French) and she is a cute little scamp. Here's what happened when we left Levon alone in the van with 48 rolls of toilet paper we'd just picked up. That rabbit would be toast! :laughin:
My wife has 11 cats,no pix of them as they don't like having there pix taken.They are out to kill me.

I had to laugh. What can you do? His defense? What??? I've been sleeping! :laughin:
The face full of porcupine quills was much worse. Here he is after I've removed about half of them including from his nose and tongue. At this point, he'd had enough and had decided he'd just keep these ones in his chin. The vet had to get those out. Yes, cost way more than a few rolls of t.p. :crying:

Ha! I took this look as his, "I love you Dad but if you do that one more time, I'm taking your jugular out!" :laughin:
Right now we have two dogs and 4 hens. We have taught the dogs to treat the hens as pack.
Our hens and dogs get along well. We don't even have to supervise them.
They all look for the same thing... large birds in the sky.

How do you get them to get along? My Pomeranians hate my Peking duck and my Peking duck is about to send one of my Poms to Beijing with a side kick. :bgrin: They just don't get along.
Yes, those large birds are a worry for me too. My Poms weigh 1.8kg, no problems for them to handle, I'm sure.

We taught the dogs to not bother the chickens. The chickens are too dumb to learn. They will chase the dogs out of a favorite dirt hole. The dogs just move along.
All we did is "correct" the dogs when they looked interested in the chickens. Our dogs are indoor/outdoor dogs and we have a close relationship.
This has been going on for a year now.
I could leave a toilet paper roll on the breezeway all day and the dogs would not touch it if I said "no".
I can also take an old sock, tie a knot on each end, toss it on the ground and say "go get it", and whoa, tug of war.
It is all very cool.

Cheers Mike I will try that. I'm sure the duck will appreciate a little peace and quiet instead of being a Peking Duck for the Poms. LOL

One of my biggest fear DT. I never use to worry about it till I saw youtubes of Eagles killing and taking animals twice the size of my Poms. Never saw it myself but I do believe your wife has concerns.
By the way, with a name like "Duck Trapper" I'm sure your alright. LOL

I'm just kidding. I love the little tykes. I just think eagles would have to be starving before they'd try to take a dog. They go out in a pen in the yard and don't stay out very long because they're barking little buggers who believe they're lives should be spent inside on couches!
Ducktrapper comes from a Dylan song, by the way. :cheers
Quote from: ST on December 15, 2019, 08:21:18 PM
This guy wandered up to me one night twenty years ago, when I got out of the car. He was small enough to fit in the palm of my hand. When I tried to catch him, he scampered away. It took a month but a neighbour trapped him in a garage. He came to live with me for nearly 19 years.
He loved the guitars and would sometimes play them when he thought I wasn't around.
In his last days, he spent most of the time sleeping beside the guitar cases.
Looks like quite the guy and a good story. I had an orange tabby that played mandolin when no one was looking.
Great story ST. I had a cat once, he would go for walks with me every night, just like my pups, amazing.

Ahhhh so that is where you got the name. I always been meaning to ask since I join this Forum. Actually I saw your pup and thought, "Oh yeah, that is definitely a duck hunting dog". LOL

Actually, he's a field dog. Pheasants and grouse and such. He does love the water and swimming but, as for duck hunting, I don't like being wet and cold although I do have the firepower. :beer
Floater (Too Much to Ask)
Down over the window
Comes the dazzling sunlit rays
Through the back alleys, through the blinds
Another one of them endless days
Honeybees are buzzin'
Leaves begin to stir
I'm in love with my second cousin
I tell myself I could be happy forever with her
I keep listenin' for footsteps
But I ain't ever hearing any
From the boat I fish for bullheads
I catch a lot, sometimes too many
A summer breeze is blowing
A squall is settin' in
Sometimes it's just plain stupid
To get into any kind of wind
Well, the old men 'round here, sometimes they get on
Bad terms with the younger men
Old, young, age don't carry weight
It doesn't matter in the end
One of the boss' hangers-on
Sometimes omes to call at times you least expect
Try to bully ya, strong arm ya, inspire you with fear
It has the opposite effect
There's a new grove of trees on the outskirts of town
The old one is long gone
Timber two-foot six across
Burns with the bark still on
They say times are hard, if you don't believe it
You can just follow your nose
It don't bother me, times are hard everywhere
Well, we'll just have to see how it goes
My old man, he's like some feudal lord
Got more lives than a cat
I never seen him quarrel with my mother even once
Things come alive or they fall flat
You can smell the pine wood burnin'
You can hear the school bell ring
Gotta get up near the teacher if you can
If you want to learn anything
Romeo, he said to Juliet, "You got a poor complexion
It doesn't give your appearance a very youthful touch"
Juliet said back to Romeo, "Why don't you just shove off
If it bothers you so much"
They all got out of here any way they could
The cold rain can give you the shivers
They went down the Ohio, the Cumberland, the Tennessee
All the rest of them rebel rivers
If you ever try to interfere with me or cross my path again
You do so at the peril of your own life
I'm not quite as cool or forgiving as I sound
I've seen enough heartaches and strife
My grandfather was a duck trapper
He could do it with just dragnets and ropes
My grandmother could sew new dresses out of old cloth
I don't know if they had any dreams or hopes
I had 'em once though, I suppose
To go along with all the ring dancin' Christmas carols on all the Christmas Eves
I left all my dreams and hopes
Buried under tobacco leaves
Not always easy kicking someone out
Gotta wait a while, it can be an unpleasant task
Sometimes somebody wants you to give something up
And tears or not, it's too much to ask
- Bob Dylan
Yes he sure can write, amazing lyrics. I love his music and play a few myself. One of my favourite.........Like a Rolling Stone.
ST this is such a sad story........I'm sorry to hear. And people say animals don't have feelings. This so heart breaking for you and the Grey cat. Thanks so much for sharing.
This is a very touching story ST, I'm really sorry to hear this. Yes I can imagine how much it must have effected you, not good.
In time ST, I'm sure you will look back like today and share your stories/memories of the good times you had with them and the friendship you had. I'm sure they are at a very good place right now, wishing you and your partner well.
Cheers for sharing this with us.
Thanks for your kind thoughts.
I miss them, every one. I decided after the last one moved on, I had said enough goodbyes.
It's all okay at this end.
Amazing isn't it? They are just like us, some like music others don't but which ever way you look at it, what funny characters they are, each have their own personality. I think you should get another.
I am a breeder, I loose a few pups myself and I know the pain your experiencing, I say it all the time.....no more. But you know what? I can't do without them. They are my joy, I always look forward seeing them from sun up to sun down. And the best thing, they never complain nor talk back.
First photo. On the left, my lil' buddy Jake. On the right, Louie, who now lives at my wife's friend's house. They share several Chihuahuas. Louie peed everywhere. I put my foot down on that one.
Secondly, Souris (Soo ree) and our little special needs girl, Minette, or Stinkerbelle as I like to call her. I can't believe we are actually down to four resident dogs.
Awwww bless their little soul DT. They are beautiful. Hey DT buy some dog nappies for Louie, that's what we use for all our dogs. the girls also have theirs. My partner sews them, they really work.
Some of these long hair Chihuahuas look like Pomeranians. So cute.

My wife makes things like that too but Louie was a talented escape artist who could remove anything you put on him, apparently. Anyway, I don't want a dog that won't be housebroken. He's better off where he is. My wife and her friend share four Chihuahuas (two long females, two smooth males) and they all live at her house! I don't know what's going on, I don't care. It's their business. I just know where I draw lines. Actually, the only one of them that I really liked, her friend scooped and insisted live at her house. OK, in that case take them all! Fleur is a little darling but I couldn't have her. This is a beautiful little dog.
Ha ha ha, oh you crack me up DT. Yes some animals are good escape artist, but there is always a way to fix that LOL
Oh what a cutie she is DT.

Well, she's from Montreal and some of the most beautiful females in the world live there. I flew there to pick her up, immediately fell in love with her, she lived with us for several months and my wife's friend wouldn't let her return from a sleep over. :crying:
Ha ha ha.........Did you know that, not just Montreal has the best looking females, but best looking males too? The whole of Canada has the best looking. LOL My Poms Grand parents are from Canada and they are Grand Champions in Canada, US, Thailand etc etc. My pups have one of the best bloodlines in the world. To purchase one from the top breeders in Canada and bring one over here, I hate to think how much. Each of mine is worth 4K AUD to purchase, that is cheap and that is what I sell my pups for.
..........I think we are in the wrong business, Larrivee guitars are cheaper than the dogs. LOL

One of my favourite events on the Winter Olympics calendar. Remember, it is not one of our strongest sport here in Australia, actually I don't remember having a Aust. Team. LOL We did win a couple of other events, most memorable the Speed Skating which we won when all the top competitors fell and our boy who at the time was coming last, cruised over the line with honours. LOL True story.
Field hockey as you call it, is one of our strongest events. We are probably one of the best 10 teams in the world, Men and Women.

Yes, lacrosse is not just a city in Wisconsin! Technically, our national sport but everyone knows it's actually hockey. My team is out west tonight so I have to have a nap if I'm going to stay up late and watch the game. I'll PVR it just in case and watch it in the morning.
Canada has it's own version of football, of course. It's very much like the American sport although the rules are somewhat different. However, what we call football is more akin to rugby. :beer

I *had* a pet, a Boston Terrier named Rocky. He was an amazing dog , incredibly smart, very loving.
Unfortunately, we had to let him go, due to having a brain tumor which caused him to have severe seizures, he was only eight years old.
I've had pets my whole life ( mid sixties now), and this guy was special. I miss him deeply and I couldn't ever replace him.
( sorry if this sounds too sappy)
We have put down 4 dogs.
Prissy, Piney, Sadie and Felix.
They are still with us. See pic. They are normally covered up with a silk scarf, uncovered for this pic only.
We do not dwell on them, tho they do come up now and then, and our two dogs still remember Sadie and Felix.
Just ask them.

Not at all. Anyone who has had special furry friends and has lost them feels your pain.
