Hi Guys! Does any of you have the exact dates for the Ooty dog show? I know it is being conducted sometime in May 2009. I am planning to make my Saint Bernard pup participate in that show.

MillionSwords: I remember your wonderful story, and send best wishes for Donna.

Randhawa: 23 is probably five years older than any other dog I ever came across. It is not an unusual age for a pampered domestic cat, but a dog! Amazing! I wish JoJo may go on breaking records and have many more birthdays!

This is my 1.5 years old Pug.

Nice one Aman. Hes very cute indeed. What's his name? Pugs have become very popular after Vodafone

@Randhawa: Jojo is on a roll. May he live on for many many years. 23 years is a record.

@Thad E Ginathom@Dippy Thanks for the wishes

@Aman You know it's a saying about Pugs that once you own a Pug, a Pug owns you for the rest of your life

This is our 4 years old Lhasa Apso named Ginger, my wife got Ginger as a gift on her birthday from an Army officer posted in Arunachal

Lhasa apso's are cute and very affectionate towards the master. But not a good choice for families with kids or asthama patients. Requires a lot of care due to the hair.

@ Aman: He's so cute... but also have mischief in his eyes, I am sure he is very playfull. And he can't follow everywhere you go, because yo have Safari!!!

@Deky: Ginger is so adorable. I never found him to be rude to kids. Because you say so we remain cautious.

Red Liner · 24th February 2009, 16:29

I think he meant because of the hair...very small children could ingest the hair...

Hi Everyone,

I did not know there was a thread on pets too.

Well here are my dogs that I have at the farm.

The light brown one is an English Mastiff(I have a pair)
Grey is a Neapolitan Mastiff and the brown black is a 1 yr old Rottweiler.

Cheers !!!!!!

Sorry about the image quality, taken with a mobile camera.
These are accidental pets.
In our apartment there is a balcony where the washing machine is there.
So if we do not wash clothes for couple of days in a row, a pigeon pair used to start building a nest. Everytime I used to throw away the nest, because either they can have a nest, or we can wash clothes.
This was going on for over 6 months. Whenever we used to go for 3-4 days, I had to throw away eggs too(don't cry, there is excess of pigeons in NCR, and they have all but eliminated other species of birds).
This time we went away for a month.As I open the balcony, I see the nest with 2 baby pigeons. I did not want to throw them away. So I picked them up(they were very small), and put then in a shoe box with some cotton. Made them drink water etc, and kept them in a different corner of the same balcony.
Mama pigeon comes and refuses to touch them, and keeps on searching for them in her corner.
For two days I feed them rice, bread and water.
After 2 days the foolish bird realizes these are her kids and starts to sleep in the same box. We give them rice etc. every day, and what you see is 7 days result. One of them is big now, and about to fly away in a week I think. Every time I give it rice or anything, it tries to bite my finger. The younger one is bullied by this one I think.

I'm the biggest pigeon hater you will find on this planet, and by a cruel twist of fate, I am raising two pigeons, and making them fat.
