It’s in the mix. I too have loved dogs. But it drives me crazy that some dog owners let down their dogs by not even attempting to be responsible. Dogs have their instincts and it’s not their fault if they follow them.
so much better put than what I wrote and yes , more photos - at one point I used this for my signature -

Loving all the cute doggies, BTW :-)

ooops (donning my cap of shame)
Don't need to apologise Julie. Plus I think we are all aware now that you must have had a hell of fright, with lasting consequences. Sadly some dogs and some people end up in bad situations and some situations are due to people and some situations are due to dogs. So life is big eh? Who would have thought? ;)

Incidentally, I feel very lucky that I can have and love a pet. That I care enough to make sure she is happy and fed and clothed (she insists on the scarf herself) and that I am not unaware and ignorant of my responsibilities. If a dog can have all these things, they will be a fine pet.

Yes goes without saying. Great photos. :)

@Jean - I only discovered Kakamatua a few years ago - it's a very special place.
@Hebe, oh that's so sad! But what a lovely way for her to go, all her favourite things.
When Cleo died, we were destroyed. Her daddy loved her more than anything. -
And here she is with her beloved sister, Toru.

Unconditional love goes both ways eh? :)

One dog stroller as promised (sans hound in this case as it was still in store - but these are not that uncommon)

Eek! Glad you mentioned the hound was missing, I was straining to see him/her.

lol. How many wheels? whats at the back of it. Is that for groceries?
We really need one with a dog in it now. :) -

Sometimes you do. That thing on the top is a sun/rain shade for the poor beastie.
@Sofie, that thing behind is another variation on the same.
As soon as I see one with its cargo onboard - assuming I have a camera - I'll provide a shot.
When we first arrived we used to put our dogs in a kennel out west when we left town. It had:
1) a large pool
2) air conditioned serviced suites (or non - we chose the latter)
3) a restaurant with menus - the owners chose the menu for each day they were away. It included cuisines from around the world - or just biscuits (we chose).
4) Individual 24hr web-cams for each room.
5) a 24 hr taxi service (proper taxis, not vans).
6) an outdoor exercise field with treadmills and a pretty decent obstacle course to run around.It was $30 a day for two dogs :)
Now they just stay home with the housekeeper, which they seem to like far more (she feeds them hotdogs and thinks we don't know when we're away).
A friend was doing a house interior for a very wealthy guy in Jakarta. He had a marble walled suite, with a kingsize bed for his dog. The dog had its own full-time maid.

Well, I can think of a few reasons:
*dog is contained
i.e absolutely controlled in crowds
*up off the ground
i.e not getting underfoot, or getting its leash entangled,
*but still able to see & smell surroundings
*built-in guard for your shopping!
annnd,
*your cherished pet is on display! -
On Sunday I went out with a few other scooter enthusiasts (don't judge) and one amongst us had a pup in a front pack wearing sunglasses. I wish I'd take a photo for you all.
You'll just have to visualise it for now.

Hold the phone. Forgot about the other camera. Not the greatest shot, but you get the picture.

I have some sad news. My beloved friend Steve came to NZ from the States (he's originally English) some years ago, and promptly fell in love with an 18 month old ridgeback/lab cross who he called Byron. Byron was Cleo's first doggie friend, and they loved each other dearly. When Byron and Steve went back to the States, everyone missed them terribly, but none more so than Cleo. Happily, Steve and Bryon came back to NZ, and Cleo and he were reunited. She loved him as much as she always had but they were older, and their affection was less physical. Last year, when she died, Steve was one of the people who supported me, and I will always appreciate it. Unfortunately, Byron has been unwell for a while, and was diagnosed with cancer just recently. His other Daddy Ira flew back to NZ to spend time with him, and yesterday Byron, who was 11, died in both his Daddys' arms. As a dog pack, we have spent many happy times over the last 9 years, and we have had to say goodbye to three of our dogs so far. As they age more and more - the average age is 11 - each loss is felt more keenly. So we are all a bit sad at the moment. An era is ended, but Byron and Cleo will be happily playing wherever dogs go when they leave their old, tired and ill bodies. Fare thee well, Byron, you were a beautiful boy, a good friend, a loyal companion, and you will be sorely missed.

R.I.P. Have we got any photos Jackie? It could be a fitting send off to put him up on a thread you started. I don't even know him but I feel your loss. I'm such a wus.

My hard drive's at work but I've told Steve I'll write a bit of a photo tribute to him tomorrow xx
