OMG! This flashing collar on the dog is the best invention since sliced cheese!
I don't want to step on him at night, and I cannot see him.

He is deaf now, and cannot hear when I get up to go to the biffy. I've tripped over him a couple times, but so far have not fallen on my face!

(That was the damned cat that caused that last year.)

I LOVE this blinking collar! I will step on him no more in the dark. He cannot hear me walking, cause he is deaf now. :-(

I don't care if I have to replace the battery weekly. I am NOT going to abandon this pooch.

3. Not sure what he is, probably some terrier and schnauzer, according to the groomer.
I adopted him from the shelter when he was only a couple months old. He looked like a rat! And he pooped on my shirt!

I had to wait a couple days in case someone claimed him. As if anyone gave a shit about this dog. He had obviously been abandoned.

That was about 15 years ago. I cleaned him up, shaved all that nasty brittle hair shit off him, took him to a vet, and got him some decent food.

He's been spoiled terribly rotten since then. He and my son were thick with spoiling each other. They were inseparable. And when son was not around, the dawg always slept and catered to me. He's been the best damned pooch. Through thick and thin.

Are you now sorry you asked? LOL!

I love my pooch.

9. Similar, but it doesn't have that red thing in front.
I did get the blue one with blue flashing lights.

He's camped out in front of the bathroom door.

I can see the flashing lights now. :D

13. Yup. LOL!
He fusses and scratches over my sleeping area. And hides under my covers.

I can see the lights flashing under his hiding place! LOL! He's such a little poop.

I allow him to think he is the one in charge. LOL!

6. Oh, that is Lil Missy speak. It means .....
get up to take a piss.

I was trying to be polite and diplomatic about it, kay?

For future reference, going to the biffy is a polite way of saying I must visit the bathroom and pee, okay?

8. Yay! As long as you can keep getting batteries
that sounds like a wonderful solution. :)

Our pets should get even more love and care when they get older and lose their sight or hearing or some of their mobility. Pets are Not Disposable! I am so glad you are taking such good care of yours.

:hug:

12. Hi ThomCat!
Thank you!

My pooch has given me many years of love and companionship. I am NOT going to abandon him now. He still thinks he's a pup!

I just need some extra measures to keep him safe now. He is getting old, and is deaf now. I just don't want to lose him over something stupid that I could have prevented.
