But they pack a lot of love into those few short years........

Thank you for saying that, that's how I'll try to think of it.

Btw... this is now so off topic that I can't even remember what the thread is about...

picturing irish wolf in a mini

well this farm sounds very exciting and you've already bought it WOW.

re the age..they have shorter lifespans, i would have said 6 - 10 years but i think maybe its just something you have to take on board..i know what you mean though it would be a concern to me aswell as you like to think of getting atleast 15 years dont you (im scottish so like value for money

)

About the life span, personally I am a bit concerned about taking on animal with 7-8 years life span.

Of course, you never know how long you're going to be lucky enough to have anyone around. But it does seem like a very short time, and it's something I have talked to OH about quite a bit. Especially as I wouldn't mind taking on an adult dog - rescue/ex-breeding, rather than a puppy. But we'll see.

As for space - we'll we won't be getting any dogs until we've moved to Sweden, where we've bought an old farm. It's got an enormous barn and 50 acres of land (fields and forest), so I'm thinking we've got enough space.

We're clearly going to have to change cars, though... We have a Mini at the moment.

although they arent a common dog i have known both irish wolf and deer hounds not one single dog out of them all was anything but lovely..true gentle giants and i love their shagginess

Its just such a pity that they are generally a shorter living breed

but if someone had the room, transport and money i'd never put anyone off having one as i'd love to have spent more time around them.

littleKitten_(alex) · « **Reply #22 on:** June 20, 2007, 17:44:43 PM »

Yeah, OH grew up with wolfhounds (in Ireland!), and there's a great photo of him as a toddler, sitting in between one dogs front legs while the dog is obviously keeping guard.

Expensive to feed - well, so is my OH.

In fact, he's quite a bit like a wolfhound - big, lazy, shaggy, slightly scary-looking.

nice choice..expensive to keep but adorable natured dogs

Oh 6kgs..i'll send you sebastian and poppy will seem very light

I am sure! But Poppy is a 12 month old female... with a lot of growing still to do. NFCs are slow developers, and aren't fully grown until 3-5 years old.

(OH wants to get an Irish Wolfhound once we're no longer in London, so I suppose in comparision to that she will seem small.

)

CurlyCatz · « **Reply #19 on:** June 20, 2007, 16:38:12 PM »

codys always been very energetic although i'd also describe him as a laid back cat, its not in a permies nature to get strung out about stuff

Not sure about the food, ive put him onto maintenence light which he doesnt seem to have minded..he's not over weight but his "pouch" is quite noticable and really bugs me Lol.

He has had a few crazy turns lately..think its the time of year to be honest.

Aw...

Yes, it's lucky they can be so sweet - when they want to. Makes up for all the hard work.

Poppy used to be this very laid-back cat, until she turned 1! She's turned into a hyper-active kitten again! And that's quite scary when you consider that she's 6 kilos, quite clumsy, and has no idea of her size...

Must be the adult cat food... what do they put in there, drugs?

CurlyCatz · « **Reply #17 on:** June 20, 2007, 16:25:07 PM »

Nor cody

arent they so cute (at times

)

Poppy is so adorable, i just love the red nfc now

bloomin dishwasher door opens (scared the crap out of me) and cody steps out

Btw, Poppy doesn't need to go into cupboards and dishwashers to hide...

CurlyCatz · « **Reply #15 on:** June 20, 2007, 16:18:16 PM »

well would you believe it, i am in the kitchen doing bits n bobs with the dishwasher shelves half out (in middle of loading) and i pushed up the door so its lent against the shelves and only half shut. Thats fine i move onto next task and the bloomin dishwasher door opens (scared the crap out of me) and cody steps out

He reminded me of a dog in the agility classes coming down the other end of the seesaw

Keeping me on my toes, yes he certainly has been this week

littleKitten_(alex) · « **Reply #14 on:** June 20, 2007, 16:12:58 PM »

He's clearly trying to keep you on your toes! (And he's looking as gorgeous as ever.)

CurlyCatz · « **Reply #13 on:** June 20, 2007, 12:47:23 PM »

He was 1 on the 2nd of march this year cc so still just a baby

It will soon be 1 year since i got him aswell..think it was around the 2nd week of july..cant believe how fast time flys by.

Anya is 3 a week today..thats so sad

I hate kids birthdays as i get very depressed..stupid but thats the way i am. I dont want another really but would give nearly anything to turn time back for a wee while.

ccmacey · « **Reply #12 on:** June 20, 2007, 12:30:15 PM »

I thought it said Cody on the towel aswell lol.

How old is he Lynn?

CurlyCatz · « **Reply #11 on:** June 20, 2007, 12:15:13 PM »

I'll past that on to him and give him an even bigger smile

Well no chance of losing him today..I left the ironboard up in the living room last night (laziness) and today i still havent been able to put it away as he's taken up residence on his new ~~bed~~ surf board LOL (actually he's always loved the iron board)

Shall have to evict him soon though as i need to get house work done so i can try out my new hoover

Catjane · « **Reply #10 on:** June 19, 2007, 23:32:26 PM »

What a little pickle he is! Hehe ... these are the moments that make having our furry friends such fun! ... er ... I think!

Cody is gorgeous!

Can't remember if he'd done anything in there or not but he sure did run out as soon as he could

I remember one of our cats when I was a child being locked in my mums welsh dresser

He was lost for a couple of days so we were searching for him everywhere only to hear a meow one day coming from the dresser

Claudey was a pretty bright shade of orange too. Just had a warped sense of humour.

CurlyCatz · « **Reply #3 on:** June 19, 2007, 18:14:05 PM »

LOL luckily codys colour is pretty hard to miss

but what a bloomin fright that must have given you if you didnt expect it

blackcat · « **Reply #2 on:** June 19, 2007, 18:11:08 PM »

Ah yes, the old linen closet trick. Claudey used to hid at the back so you couldn't see him then mock attack your hands as you put in the neatly pressed linen ..............

CurlyCatz · « **Reply #1 on:** June 19, 2007, 18:06:55 PM »

realised i had not seen cody for a while, he was asleep on my bed last i saw him so dutifully checked and nope he wasnt there (beginning to worry anya had scalped him too

)

still no sign so i start to panic giving his earlier escapades..go to put hoover away in the cupboard and look what i find on my towels

Me thinks he was awaiting fraser who often sleeps in the cupboard (floor !!) ready to ambush

(modified to say 1 ) cody doesnt look his normal sparkly clean..will need to bath him

and 2) for gods sake please dont let mark see my raggamuffin towels .. he'll have a hairy canary

)
