62  Mixed Breeds / Mixed Breed Discussion / Re: Has anyone tried DNA testing their dog? « on: December 31, 2008, 08:07:27 AM » Interesting thread..Falkor was DNA tested before I got him because two males were able to get in with his mother and they needed to find out which one was Dad..as it turned out it was not the one they had planned to beed with but since all were registered Collies it wasn't a problem at least not for the people recieving the pups.. I also had him tested for MDR1 which is something Collies as well as some other herding dogs are prone to..he was found to have the mutation..so I know what not to have him take in the way of meds.. As far as testing mix's I have to agree that even in pure bred's  there will be a mix.. Have no idea of how accurate they are..and it really doesn't matter to most of us that have a mix..Emma is a mix and I have no doubts that she is what they said she is..simply because I can see both..Rotti/Peke... She could have a half dozen others and it wouldn't matter to me.. But then I am not the kind that needs to have an answer to everything..I usually accept what the great wide universe has placed in my path and do the best with what I have.. Happy New Year Everyone

66  BPO General Forum / General Board for Big Dogs with Big Paws / Christmas at Rainbow Bridge « on: December 13, 2008, 08:39:53 AM » Hi all I want to wish all my BPO friends both skin and furry,,a very Happy Christmas and an even Merrier Yew Year. When I think back on the past year and all the things that have happened both good and not so good..I think of all the breaking hearts for the ones no longer with us.. I also remember all the weight being lifted from the sharing of that heartbreak and grief.. I came across this on another site and wanted to share it with all of you.. I know like many of you it will be the 1st Christmas without someone special..just like me.. I hope you enjoyed it like I did.. Christmas at Rainbow Bridge As the midnight hour approaches on Christmas Eve, a tremendous celebration begins. If you listen closely you will hear the exuberant sound of Bridgekids preparing for the remarkable moment that comes but once a year. Puppies romp through the tall green grass, chasing butterflies and rolling over and over until fits of giggles bring them to a tumbling stop. The volume increases as kittens, cats, tigers and lions purr in pure delight while the wings of snow white doves gently caress the air. The babbling brook that runs beneath Rainbow Bridge overflows onto the edge of mossy banks and fins of treasured aquatic life quiver in anticipation of this most joyous event. Nestled in the midst of this happy choir of Bridgekids are the littlest angel tots staring in awe at the majestic Christmas tree adorned with flowing strands of angel hair. Effervescent, twinkling stars seesaw elegantly from the sky and land in glorious harmony upon the stoic limbs of Heaven's most perfect Christmas tree. Swaying to and fro in nearby rocking chairs are grandmothers, grandfathers, parents, aunts, uncles and loved ones. The sound of their whispered lullabies permeate the air as they sing to tiny angel babies resting quietly in their arms. Like magic the clock approaches midnight and a great stirring is heard in the distance. Each Bridgekid stops and listens, knowing the time is near, and they choose a fleecy cloud on which to snuggle. The roar of purrs drops to barely an audible hum, the babbling brook ripples hypnotically and the flutter of downy feathered wings fall silent. Heaven's spirited toddlers climb expectantly upon the laps of angels while babies coo in tranquil unison. Amidst the warm glow of candle light which rises from the earth below, the arms of the Bridge Keeper envelop the heavens and into the precious hands of each child and in front of each animal a holy gift is placed. With grand exuberance the ribbons are removed and left to fly on a tender breeze where they dissolve into showers of angel dust. As the golden lids of these heavenly gifts are raised, an amazing aura fills the sky, reaching down to the very core of the earth. Ascending from each and every box is the greatest gift of all…unending, unconditional, all-encompassing love. This blessed love gently wraps itself around the cherished souls of heaven, warming their hearts with beacons of radiant light and bringing forth from angels an exquisite chorus. As the clock strikes midnight the distance between heaven and earth is vanished. It is at this very moment on Christmas Eve that the Bridge Keeper, His children, angels and Bridgekids send a message to their earthly loved ones on the wings of this unbridled love. Listening carefully with an open heart we will hear the familiar voice of our own angel whisper softly into our ear their Christmas message..."Let me share with you this love of mine, always and forever. When you need me know that I am here. I have not left you for I am in your heart where I belong. Our love is eternal as is the brilliant glow of candlelight which illuminates the path to the heavens and Rainbow Bridge. I wait patiently as do you for our inevitable and glorious reunion. I love you, I love you, I love you." Author of "Christmas At Rainbow Bridge" unknown. Tricia and the fur kids The will of God will never take you where the grace of God will not protect you It is not our abilities that show us who we truly are ...It is our choices.

70  Smaller Family Members / Smaller Sibling Discussion & Pictures / Potential Therapy Dog « on: November 06, 2008, 07:13:37 AM » Hi all I plan to post this on tinypaws but I know some of you also have little fur kids and might be looking.. Tricia and the fur kids I hope it is OK to post this here. I have a foster dog that is extra-special and I really feel this girl has the potential to be an incredible therapy dog. I'd love to see her placed in to a home that will develop this potential. I will happily drive up to 4 hrs away from Chapel Hill, NC to get her to the right family. Hope is 1.5 - 2 yrs old, 26 lbs and appears to be a standard dachshund/spaniel mix. She is the sweetest, calmest, most even-tempered dog I ever met. Hope assumes everyone is her friend and greets them with a sweet smile, calm tail wag and by sitting in front of them. She never barks, jumps or paws at people. She doesn't put her mouth on you, even when taking a cookie. Hope has very expressive eyes, great soft eye contact and a strong desire to connect with people. I've had people comment that she caught their eye from across the room and they couldn't help but come over to pet her. At the dog park she goes from owner to owner to greet them and make friends. Hope thrives on touch and readily accepts any handling. She is not hand shy and doesn't mind people picking her up, rolling her over, opening her mouth, handling her feet, etc. Hope has tolerated a herd of noisy children petting without any problem. I do feel she is better suited to work with the elderly or one-on-one with kids though. Hope has absolutely no possession aggression issues and gives up bones food, and toys without any problem. She does just fine with crowds, walkers, canes, wheelchairs, or people moving oddly. Even if startled by a loud noise, she recovers quickly and investigates what caused it. She greets other dogs politely if they approach her and ignores them otherwise (though she has just started playing with my 2 dogs.) You can see pictures of Hope and read more about her on her Petfinder page: http://www.petfinder.com/petnote/displaypet.cgi?petid=12266004 She is MUCH cuter than she looks in her pictures. Every time I pointed a camera at her she got that serious, worried look. This girl is really special and I appreciate any help in finding her the perfect home. Thanks Lori Barker Avon Adoptions for Dogs (currently fostering in Chapel Hill, NC)

72  Newfoundlands / Newfoundland Discussions / Re: Jack comes home tomorrow! « on: October 24, 2008, 07:21:40 AM » OMG what a heat breaker...lots of love and lots of rules.. yea if you don't start early it's too late..and it's never too early.. Our guys usually find more toys than we could buy ..simple rule if they get something they aren't suppose to just take it away and give them something they are allowed to have.and make it fun and worth their time.. I think the funest toy they all look forward to is cardboard boxes...weird I know but they can chew..and tear them and tug-a war with them..and mine also love that tearing ripping sound.. and once they are done and all the pieces are everywhere we just pick them up and throw them away.. Have lots and lots of fun and post lots and lots of pics.. Tricia and the fur kids

74  BPO Recommended Reading / Articles / LET SLEEPING DOGS LIE « on: October 21, 2008, 07:42:19 PM » I just had to share this one.. Let Sleeping Dogs Lie ====================== An older, tired-looking dog wandered into my yard; I could tell from his collar and well-fed belly that he had a home and was well taken care of. He calmly came over to me, I gave him a few pats on his head; he then followed me into my house, slowly walked down the hall, curled up in the corner and fell asleep. An hour later, he went to the door, and I let him out. The next day he was back, greeted me in my yard, walked inside and resumed his spot in the hall and again slept for about an hour. This continued off and on for several weeks. Curious, I pinned a note to his collar: "I would like to find out who the owner of this wonderful sweet dog is and ask if you are aware that almost every afternoon your dog comes to my house for a nap." The next day he arrived for his nap, with a different note pinned to his collar: "He lives in a home with 6 children, 2 under the age of 3 - he's trying to catch up on his sleep. Can I come with him tomorrow?" Tricia and the fur kids   It is not our abilities that show us who we truly are It is our choices.
