Annoca, the pictures are wonderful and it is so obvious that Dante and Dali are best friends. Thank you for posting them.

Ooooh that white dog is lovely !!! What is it?

ANNOCA, the pictures are gorgeous How did Dali end up moving in with you? They look like they are the best of friends, how lovely. I'm sure they'll get up to lots of mischief together...double trouble ANNOCA.

Oh my goodness - he is lovely, Annoca. And he's obviously smitten with his new friend, too! Happy days..

Dante is looking very grown up now (& very handsome)

love Dali!   I really like Chinese Crested's...  strange for me cos I am usually so besotted with terriers... but there is something about them!

I thought I was getting somewhere with my "I want a Chinese Crested" campaign to Mr Ditty last year... but he caught me looking at the Chinese Crested clothing site & said No!  (for the record...  I wouldn't dress my chinese crested in human clothes...  I was just researching jumpers for them ... for when its chilly)

Am dead chuffed for you Annoca...   you have a lovely little family there...  Remi will be pleased as punch xxx

Mr Ditty says "He looks french (Dante... I assume he means the breed)... gone & got himself a classy long limbed looker!

Aww they look the best of friends,glad eveything is going so well now Annoca.

I thought I should send you all some more photos of Dante and Dali.  These were taken today, and as you can see, they are very definitely, good friends.  They do everything together - play, eat, sleep etc.  Dante is very caring about Dali and can usually be found "holding her hand", as he is doing in a couple of these photos - even though Dali is almost twice the size and weight of Dante.

Hope you enjoy the photos.

Annoca I just love wee Dante's face

He looks like a proud wee man.

Many thanks for posting these pictures ANNOCA.
They are absolutely lovely. Lovely.
I am so pleased that things have worked out this well.
Thanks

Hi Brisket.  If it hadn't been for the wonderful people on this forum, I can truthfully say that I would have been in a very different place now.

Thanks to them, I have a relative of my beloved Remy (and he has quite a lot of her mannerisms) but is also a terrific MA dog.

I am just so happy that he now has Dali in his life (and mine, of course) and that they have such a great relationship with each other.

As Dante is "On Duty" twenty four hours a day, every day, it is great to see him so happy at having a buddy all of his own to play with.

Beautiful photo's ANNOCA
I need to speak to you about alert dog's.

My puppy is fit, 7 months old and loves life and everything. I'm a heavy smoker, whenever I cough my puppy goes mental and jumps up and scratches the area of my liver and crys and goes mental. We replicated the scene of coughing with my husband & son and the pup ignores them. If I cough he gets really upset. Am I reading more into it then I should?

Hi Essie.  I wouldn't say you are reading the puppy's actions unnecessarily.  What it could be is that you have some fluid on your lung that shouldn't be there - and your puppy is picking up on it.

I would suggest getting your Doctor to send you for a chest and lung xray and see if there is anything there.  If there IS then your puppy is aware of it and is making you aware of it too.  If the xrays are clear, then the puppy has figured out that if I jump up after she coughs - she will make a fuss of me.

It would be nice to know, for your own peace of mind, if he is looking for attention or if, in fact, he is alerting.

Thank you so much ANNOCA,
My little baby has to remain close to me. I've never owned a dog/puppy before so I don't know the procedure, he has to be touching me at all times, his little body has to be laying next to me. I even have to hand feed him (don't ask it's complicated) I think I've made a rod for my own back.

We all make rods for our own backs at times, Essie.  Feeding by hand is something you can gradually wean him away from and is not a huge problem.

ALL MA dogs stay close to their "patient" whether you like it or not and get very distraught if they are separated from them for any length of time, which is why they get carefully assessed.

If you can get an xray done, it will answer the main question regarding the dog - is there something there that needs attention, or, is this a way I can get more of my Mum's attention.

Let me know what you decide to do and how you get on.

I love your latest photo's Annoca Dante is so cute

Annoca he's just adorable - a lovely wee munchkin    I'm glad he has such a good friend in Dahlia 

Annoca, thanks for the photos, they are gorgeous. I will show them later to my family, who also love the updates on your story.

Thank you everyone for your lovely comments on the "Terrible Twins"!!!

I am, naturally, biased so it is great to see/hear that others think as much of them as I do.

Just curious Annoca,are they both neutered or too young yet? You might end up with a family.

Hi Katty  -  Neither are neutered yet but also Dali is too young right now.

Dali will be getting neutered in the near future as there is no way I want a family - especially between Brabancon and Chinese Crested!!!

I would imagine that between them they would produce some very laid back puppies - but sadly, they will have to remain in the imagination.

I thought you might all like to see a photograph of my middle son who got married yesterday.

This is the son that Remy ADORED!!  She loved all my sons - but Simon was special to her.

It was an extremely emotional day.  Quite unexpectedly, Simon spoke about Remy in his speech - and it set everyone off with tears.

Oh. . . and yes!!  Dante and Dali were guests at the wedding but we will have to wait for the professional photographs as none of us got any with them in because we were all in the photographs ourselves!!

Ahh, how lovely, Annoca!
Love the latest pics of Dante and Dali, too. He's got a real "hands off, she's mine" look on his little face

Lovely wedding photo Annoca,I look forward to seeing the other "guests".

Lovely wedding photo, Annoca. Everyone looks so happy.

Lovely photo's.I think Dante has been watching too many Robert Mitchum movies,he's starting to pose like him.What a little star he is.

This is probably a bad time to post in the forum with BB on but I wanted to let you all know that Dante, Dali and me went to Antrim to collect Remy's ashes and to have them put in the Garden of Remembrance.

She had been put into a beautiful little casket  and when they placed it in my hands, I just knew I couldn't leave it there and decided to bring it home.

Now that we have Remy back home, there is a calm about the house that wasn't there before - and both Dante and Dali seem to sense that she is there.

Although it was very sad, and I was set off crying again, I do have a sense of peace because she is back home where she belongs.

Good chioce Annoca, keep Remy close

Aww Annoca,if it helps you then it's good.
I've had a few small birds and furries(hamsters) buried in the garden etc.Though I will be dreading when the rabbits pass."Rio" is six ,getting on in rabbit years,they can reach eight or nine,if lucky.

There's no way I'll leave him at the vets etc...gulp!

awww ....

Bless Remy   xxx

Annoca, I have followed all your posts regarding your beloved Remy and now Dante and Dali,,

I am glad I didn't upset anyone by posting about Remy while BB is on.

I am so very glad I decided to bring Remy home - it is where she belongs - and she will always be around us, in spirit.

Thank you all for your lovely comments.   xx

Aww they are lovely pets please keep on updating X

I will Elkie.  I am off to bed now with my Terrible Twins!  They are nudging me to tell me it is way past their bedtime!

I think you made the right decision Annoca, and I'm sure Remy's spirit will be watching over you all.

That's lovely Annoca,I am so pleased for you.

It's horrible when someone so close to you dies, I am so sorry for you xxx

Thanks for your latest post ANNOCA. (Think of it as a welcome relief from Big Brother.)
I believe you have done the right thing with Remy's ashes. In fact a lovely thing.

Annoca

And please continue to keep us updated - BB or no BB

Thank you all for those lovely comments.  It means a lot to me.
