Cosette my Roxy just looks like your pooch. She also smelled my cancer. My girl is now 14 and has her own problems. So the two of us are a couple of swells. I love her so much. I see that Kayvie has a Bull Mastiff. I too had one a few years ago. He was 60kgs of sookiness, lost him to cancer.
When I went to the LGFB make-up morning I bought this fringe and thought I could wear it backwards and look like Carol Brady. My daughters immediately tried it on the dog and put it on Instagram as 'Remy's got breast cancer'. It was a bit of a hit for them. That photo was taken 8 months ago and Remy is over cancer more than I am. He's got fat and never gets to go to the beach anymore. I've told him this will pass and that the good old days will be back soon enough.
The problem I have found with my 13yr old Staffie is that he has no sentience whatsoever. He abhors disturbances of any kind and when he sees me crying he goes running, lol. I have had him since he was 6 weeks old. Too soon to leave your mother but he had alienated himself from the pack and was in danger from the other pups! The rest of them stayed with their litter until they were 12 weeks. He was born insecure and loves to receive anything including food, attention, kids, babies, beaches and swimming. But the horse, Blacky, who is also 13 and who I have had since he was 3 has sentience. He is immovable in his support no matter how much I cry and moan. He feels my pain even though he's never suffered. Cancer is not the only dilemma he has seen me thru or should I say felt thru me. He is my yardstick for life, my raison d'etre.
@Tennille We too had a bearded dragon in the family. He lived in a big glass fishtank in my daughter's room and we fed him live crickets from the petshop down the road. They stayed sleepy in the fridge but my daughter was always dropping a few and during the night the sound of crickets throughout the house drove me crazy. Beardie, as we called him, had to move outside. We lost him when he was out for his daily exercise. There were sightings of him around Mullumbimby for months but we never got him back. He was very communicative for a lizard...
Dear @PatsyN , Remy with the fringe - that gave me a good laugh. He is a senior dog by the look of his muzzle. And you on Blackie - wow. I see you have boots on; do you live in tick country?
'Big' being a chugging pain in the arse because.. well, just because. This was all bout having to wait if I remember rightly. Which is, apparently, unacceptable. Don't know where he gets that from.
I feel like the queen of the world up there. Sometimes.
@Zoffiel You look like the queen when she was in her younger days. No wonder you feel like her up there. Where are the corgis? Women's Weekly would surely have published something similar back in the day. Horsey photos can be so difficult to date. There's nothing in that photo to give one a hint of what year it might be. So be the Queen! She certainly would be lucky to have that beautiful horse, Arab, I presume.
@jennyss I've never lived anywhere but tick and leach territories. I have a few friends with Lymes disease (I'd rather have BC). Also the mozzies here are shocking. I've had Barmah Forest Virus, like many others and Ross River Fever is rampant. My horse has Qld itch and the dog is allergic to grass seeds. But now that I have moved to the beach with a house built on sand, midges have become by biggest enemy!

And here we are in better days.
