Sorry everyone, I was not totally clear in my post. When I said I am not looking to sell the puppies for profit, it came across as though I still want to sell them. I would like to keep the puppies for myself, my sisters, mother and 2 of my friends, assuming she has enough to share around - I could never give them to strangers that I don't know and trust - only family and friends;) With all the abandoned animals in Dubai do you think it is wise to start breeding more ? I would think that the mods should have a look at this thread. <em>edited by Nomad on 01/09/2011</em>

Hi Jules. Have you thought about fostering an older dog to see how you, cat, kids et all, would cope?What about a teenager (around 1 year?) However, obviously if you end up with a puppy you will have to house train and deal with puppy issues. Personally I couldn't cope with babbies and a puppy but maybe you have a lot more stamina and patience. Also, just to get it in there (i know you don't want to hear it) but a mixed breed dog can be just as sweet a family pet :-) Agree fostering sounds like a plan for your particular circumstance....

So very sorry to hear your old man is so ill. One thing to take in to account is that from their days in the wild,animals particularly cats, attempt to hide any visible signs of illness, suffering etc. It was all part of staying alive as a predator would go for the weak and injured. Cats still have that ability so possibly your cat could be a lot sicker than he looks. At 17 and after going through so much I think you owe it to him to discuss putting him down with the vet. I have had so many animals through the years and it is never easy to make the right decision,but what is more important than us wanting to hold on is quality of life. He sounds so weak and thin and in pain,do what is right for him. They all wait for us at "Rainbow Bridge" to be re united. Sending you big hugs and much support. XXXXX

Thanks so much for all the replies. I will be working on his behaviour with the help of the leerburg site had a quick squiz yesterday. Thanks PN. Thanks Greenish, I know it isn't lack of excercise, we are on 11 acres and I have even encouraged him to gopher hunt (but would rather chase cats !!) He plays fetch with a tennis ball until he passes out.. I will work with him the next two months, as I think it can only help him overall to have his "bad behaviour" curbed.

Great advice...I've now been in touch with Feline Friends and we have done a complete turnaround thanks to your input and we'd like to look into fostering. Our children are 12,14 & 18 so will be able to cope with the responsibility and the have a new focus....Thanks so much to everyone. Great news JMP I did exactly what you are doing(had 9 cats back home so couldn't take on any more..) I can honestly say it was one of the most rewarding experiences my DH and I ever had. I still keep contact with the "New Parents" LOL Eva B. Please don't let the fact that you can't choose put you off. Talk to FF Foster co ordinator and explain your situation and they will match you up as best they can. I always felt that the right cat was "sent" to me at the right time. If I look back I have never chosen an animal, they have always chosen us in one way or another,.....and have never been dissappointed with the outcome. All the best in persuading DH ;)

If you do get a kitty, please take Nomad's advice and start saving now for relocation costs. Another poster's husband is telling her kitties will have to be euthanized because it's "too expensive" to relocate them to Oz (Moron IMHO - I know who I'd be going to Oz with and they wouldn't have 2 legs and an a -hole). That was priceless MC.... Ditto.....;)

Just to add to the good info you have already got here. I have re locted cats and dogs all over the planet and find the best way to take care of the costs when the time came for "the trip" was to save a bit in a seperate bank account every month.It was my instead of hairdo fund ......LOL Honestly though you are on the right track as far as helping the children settle.It was always the consistancy of having our animals with us that helped both our boys settle into their new countries. Not sure what Mellie 78 was getting at re cat hair as OP had mentioned that she had a Persian in Aus so would know all about grooming and cat hair.I never had a cat hair problem just put a throw cover over the moggies favorite sleeping area. The ladies who have posted are really experienced and can walk you through the process. All the best finding your new kitty.:)

Take it as a compliment....... Used to happen to me all the time , my youngest son was such a beautiful baby (I know we all think we have the most beautiful babies hehe ) with a mass of black curls. People used to stop me all the time to tell us what a beautiful little girl I had. I used to say thanks and have a good old giggle walking away. He is now 29 and we often tease him with it saying what happened to our beautiful little "girl"....:)

It could be a Feline Friends cat. Once a cat has been homed or trapped neutered and released by FF their ear is tipped. It is so the minicipality can identify any cats they trap as neutered and should be left alone. A good idea would be to phone Feline Friends to find out if anyone in your area has reported their cat missing. The fact that he is still a kitten I am sure they can could quite possibly identify who he was adopted out to. Take a photo and send it to them. If possibe put up a few posters in your area with a photo. Put an ad in dubizzle with a photo mentioning the tipped ear. If possible put out a few cat biscuits ( out of the way of the dogs of course ) in your carport maybe and please leave out loads of water, he will be very thirsty in the summer heat. All the best, hope you can find his owners soon. sorry just noticed you said guy/gal in your 1st post.... <em>edited by Nomad on 22/08/2011</em>

But this is the best news we had in years, we have tears of joy, its such a joyous occasion. Every single person I spoke too over there is excited and happy! 42 years of fear, and now its over! I know you were so terribly worried about your family so good to hear they are well and happy. All the best.

Hope you find him soon, keep an eye on the thread and everytime it gets near the bottom give it a gentle bump also try to expand a bit on exactly where he was last seen in Um S 3 and what time. Phone the municipality ASAP and notify all the vets in the area leave posters with them.Print up posters with photos put them up wherever you can in the area include a reward . Pass the word around to all the maids and the nannies in your area, they get about on foot more thanmost pass out flyers among them. Phone K9 F riends and put an ad on Dubizzle in the lost section and pet section.Check with the security guards in your area they generally know if there is an animal wondering about .Leave posters with them. Re the municipality it is always a good idea to call around and actually take a look at the animals they have ,as many times they give incorrect info re breeds etc. ( a very difficult task I know as you want to scoop them all up and take thm home.. but it helps to make sure your dog isn't there ). Sorry bombarded you with info but it all helps and also gives you a task to do while waiting to hear any news. All the best.

To CRX2 and wuffles I have had a bit of exposure with special needs children on a vounteer basis,and can honestly say they touched my heart in such a way that no other has. My heart aches for the plight of those with special needs who just want to fit in with others of their own age. I can only imagine how hard it can be for the whole family, especially moms as we instinctively just want to protect our children, I commend you both.As CRx2 said hopefully society will become more and more accepting in the future. There is a reason we use the term SPECIAL needs, it is because they are SPECIAL.

Hi georgina81 Try putting it on the main forum not everyone reads the pet forum. Ask the mods to please leave it on there. Do all the usual things like leaving a poster/picture with security,get hold of local vets,municipality and put a reward up on the posters. The nannies and maids are the ones who get about a lot on foot, they are a wonderful resource when looking for lost pets. Hope you find him soon.

I can totally sympathize with those who wish to shut these types of operations down, but it would be more productive IMHO to work on getting the authorities to put proper animal protection laws (including import issues) in place AND ENFORCE THEM, including a proper SPCA. You shut one of these ops down, another appears overnight - get laws in place that stop them, fine them, and hopefully jail them in abuse situations. That doesn't take away from the pain and suffering of these poor creatures - but until and unless the authorities are prepared to do something about it - and public pressure can help in that respect - it will continue to run rampant. Well said MC you put it all in a nutshell.Just look at the Cat Colony thread it can be done. <em>edited by Nomad on 07/08/2011</em>

I use it because it is such a beautiful saying. So very sorry about the loss of your mom.She knows you miss and love her. @UAE2012 Our family will pray for your family, stay strong.

Most important is to allow yourself to grieve even to be angry re the loss of such young lives and those they leave behind. Having worked with terminally ill patients I know it is so difficult to come to terms with the fact that someone who is so young and such a good person dying prematurely. I could never give an answer when helping the bereaved family. I light a candle when I feel I need a connection with a loved one or friend who have gone over the" Rainbow Bridge". It is a tangible connection and I am sure they really appreciate the fact that you miss them and are thinking about them. Big hugs to you and I will light a candle for you. <em>edited by Nomad on 06/08/2011</em>

JoyceB What a lovely post I shed a tear when I got to the part about the ring. It is so true that when you are the focus of a nasty MIL you try so very hard to do the right thing when you are the MIL.As I have said in a previous thread I had the MIL from h**l but my husband stood by me all the way. Her behaviour was so bad while he was growing up and it just continued after he met me and we got married.In fact my FIL was just as bad if not worse. When MIL passed away I made my peace with her passing and asked the Good Lord to forgive me for feeling sorry for her but not feeling the grief I posssibly should have. I think that is why JoyceB's post connected so with me. simpleasabc I can somewhat understand the position you find yourselves in. We are today having to support FIL as step MIL looks to us to top up. We are not rolling by any means and have to tread carefully on the road to our old age. It just doesn't seem fair but we feel an obligation. If anything this whole sorry story has taught me one thing, no matter what, you have to embrace the person your children decide to spend the rest of their lives with. I love my DIL dearly don't always agree with her choices but keep it to myself ( hard as it may be sometimes ). I always ask her before I do anything out of the ordinary with the grandchildren. I think the key to success is straight out honesty.Speak openly to MIL with husband present and tell her how and why she has upset you (of course as calmly as possible). I myself appreciate it if I have upset DIL and she comes to me and discusses it .In fact we have had a few talks about some minor issues(spoiling actually !! it is so difficult not to as I just adore my GKids ). I do realise in many instances this is not possible as happened in my case sitting down for a chat resulted in a full out barney. In the end we were completely isolated from each other and they missed out on sharing my precious childrens childhood years. At 14 my youngest was introduced to his grandmother for the first time since he was a baby. He couldn't respond to this stranger and it was terribly difficult all round.My husband had begged his mom over the years to be part of their lives ( I had stepped out of the picture completely and she had full access to the kids whenever she wanted ) but she chose not to. Sorry for the long post girls but as you can see it hits a raw nerve. At all costs try and sort out these issues when they happen, or you will carry it with you over to the next incident. This is all good practice for when you will be a MIL one day. ;)

m&m My Gson had an odd shaped head due to long hours in the baby carrier after he was born. My DIL nearly lost her life after her C section. My son had to cart the little one all over the place with him as there was no one at the time to take care of him. The pead took a no of xrays of the head and was satisfied that he did't need a helmet. However they were referred to the physio at the local childrens hospital here in Canada. My DIL was given a load of excercises to do with him , strengthening his neck muscles was very important. She also had to make sure he slept a certain way in the crib. I know this doesn't answer your question but have you thought about a second opinion. I know we were quite resigned to the fact that LO would possibly have to wear one but were going to get a second opinion if he did. <em>edited by Nomad on 03/08/2011</em>

What I did was approach my neighbour, who refused to cut the trees down. I then came up with a compromise.We agreed that he would top the trees and that I would keep them totally cut back on my side. By topping them I mean cut them like a hedge on top, which will control the upward growth to a certain extent.The side growth you control yourself. My neighbour only agreed to do this when I threatened to go to the LL about the roots damaging the foundations of the garden wall. An idea might be to go along to the garden souk and ask them about a tree removal co. I know in DSO our friends just got in a bunch of labourers to chop the whole lot down and then dug the roots out. I know exactly how you all feel re cutting trees down but honestly these are more like weeds. I had heard rumours at one time there was talk of banning them. All the best.

Hi nicnacs, Don't want to sound like a broken down record ! but it sounds like you have the dreaded cornicarpus tree. Sorry can't help with tree removal company but it is really important that they not only chop it down but remove the root system.If not they will just sprout up again.My neighbours trees totally ruined one side of my garden and damaged the foundations of the wall. Get them out sooner rather than later. Re your grass and gardener.I used to feed my grass with the blue pellets from ACE and it did really well. Gardener, sorry cant help.Possibly a short post on the main forum will do the trick ( ask the mods nicely to leave it there ):). Happy gardening.

How awful for the couple in India, having some stranger trying to grab their daughter :-( Yes, and nobody else seems to be saying this! It's just "Oh, it wasn't Madeleine after all, what a shame", without any consideration for the fact that a family has just been accused of kidnapping and experienced an attempt to forcibly separate them from their daughter by a complete stranger on the street who had no legal authority to do so. Would anybody here with children be cool about it if that happened to them? And I'm sorry, but the people who thought it *was* Madeleine, how could they be so sure? What evidence were they going by? The photograph of her taken when she was three? She'll be eight now, and the intervening years will have made a significant difference to the way she looks. And how do we know she hasn't had her hair dyed and cut differently? Ten out of ten for good intentions but minus several million for rational thinking. Yes very true EW I must admit the first thing that sprang to mind was I hoped that it was her. We are very quick to judge without the facts. I don't know what I would do in that situation,when you think you have recognised a missing child and they just walk away.What is the correct course of action ? Especially in a foreign country. The one big positive to come of this is that it has once again thrust the whole tragic saga back into the limelight

I recently spent 3 months living in Whitby. A town that could be called gods waiting room, horrible term that it is. It was wonderful seeing the elderly being treated so well. They could take as long as they like in the supermarket and people just waited - and yes, some of them were probably muttering under their breath. They got their bags packed - it was just like old times. Times I recall from when I was a girl. Its one of the reason why I fell head over heels for Whitby - the elderly got the respect and treatment they deserved - and no, not everyone found it easy to slow their day down to suit the elderly but it was just really nice. Nice post DR1958 . The other day I was in Wallmart one of the superstores.There was the dearest old lady in front of me at the till, she was making 4 seperate purchases. The young lady at the till was so impatient with herand it made her very edgy and she kept on apologising to me for holding the line up. I felt so terribly sorry for her and put my arm around her and said " you just take your good time my dear if anyone complains they will have me to deal with ". Yes it took an extra 15 minutes out of my day,loads of people behind me were tutting away about how long it was taking to check out. I just turned around and gave them " that stare". I can only wonder what the world will be like when I get old and how it will treat the OAP. Believe me I don't condone bad manners and cutting in line, I have been known to tap the offender on the shoulder and set them straight pretty darn smartly. If it was an OAP I have to admit I would probably look the other way, as I can remember my dear old Gran as she got older was known to "blend in" when there was abit of a line up.;) <em>edited by Nomad on 27/07/2011</em>
