ANNOCA it is always lovely to hear your updates.....

Thank you Lal.  I hope to have some more photos tomorrow.

ANNOCA
It is a while since we heard from you.
I hope that you and Dante and Dali are all well and happy.
If you see this, do give us a little update when you can.
Best wishes to you all.

With all the BB business going on, I was afraid to post about Dante and Dali.

We are all doing just fine, thanks for asking, it is much appreciated.

I will gather some photos together tomorrow and post them for you all to see how much they have grown and matured.   xx

please do Annoca...

believe me it would be a very welcome stress reliever  

Am off to bed now... AJ is hypnodogging me....  nagging me with his eyes!

Annoca, please keep posting photos and updates on Dante and Dali, they always make me smile.

Please carry on posting pics and updates Annoca. It is lovely to see how things have turned around.

Sorry for your loss...

Don't allow Big Brother to distract you ANNOCA.
We love to get your latest news.

I know how bad it can be to lose a dog. My condolences to you. You will always have the memories!

I hope you are all still doing well ANNOCA.

Thanks Brisket.  We are doing very well.  All is good in the animal kingdom and both Dante and Dali are finally understanding what NO means and actually obeying.

I will definitely have some photos for you all tomorrow.  I will sneak them in before Friday so as not to interfere with BB's Eviction night.   xx

we lost our family dog 3 weeks ago in a 'hit n run' so to speak - it has devastated all of us, even though we didnt live with her, she was OUR little baby, spoilt little thing, she used to stay with us when my mom and dad went on holiday or whatever, with us she could do what she liked (ie sleep on my bed with me OR sometimes I would put the fold-up bed down in my LJs room so we could all sleep together).  It was devastating when we lost her - the crazy little thing that she was, went chasing after a large van, except she got it wrong and got hit on the head and was gone, there and then - totally TOTALLY devastating for us.
She was part of our family and I feel SO much for others going through the pain of it xxxxxx

ANNOCA - thanks very much. That's good to hear. I look forward to the next pictures. I'm pleased the progress continues.


BARMIE - Very sorry to hear of your loss. So sad!
I'm very sorry for you and I send you warm good wishes.

Barmybrummie - I'm so sorry for your loss. It's awful to lose a pet, they are such a part of the family and when they die it leaves a massive hole. It's just over two years now since we lost our first dog and I still have a little weep over him every now and then.


Annoca - Glad to hear everything is going so well for you all.

Barmie, that's awful, I'm so sorry

Aww Barmie.

ANNOCA...Can't wait to see the pic's..


Barmie I am so sorry..

Thank you all for your kind words and encouragement.  I can't explain how wonderful it is to share "The Terrible Twins" with everyone here.

BARMIE:  I am SO sorry to hear about your loss.  I know only too well how you are feeling right now.  It is so hard to lose our fur babies. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

At last - here are the promised photographs!!  Haven't they matured?  Dante is now 10 months old and Dali will be one year old next week.

BTW - The last photograph is not ET!!  It is Dante - after having had a bath!!   

ANNOCA - thanks ever so much for the pictures.
They are lovely. It is great to see them as they are now.
I am so pleased that they have a good relationship with each other, as well as yourself of course.
Lovely pictures, which brought a smile to my face.
Much appreciated.

I like the little titles for each picture.

They are lovely Annoca! Thank you so much for sharing them with us. I loved the titles too!

Glad you liked the photos Brisket and Jenny  -  and also the captions.  I thought it would make more sense of the photos for you all.

Dante was sitting in the shopping bag while I was changing my shoes as he has to come everywhere with me - Dali spotted an opportunity to wangle her way out on a spree, jumped in on top of Dante, but was just that little bit too big to go unnoticed!!

What did you think of Dante after his bath?  He looks just like ET - doesn't he?

I will post some more photos in a few days - after Friday's eviction.  Thankfully I haven't been told off yet for disturbing the BB flow. 

I'm quite sure nobody will be telling you off ANNOCA.
We like the news and the pictures.
I guess these latest pictures will be picked up by more people in the morning.

Lovely pics Annoca...Thanks for posting them, they have made me smile..

Thanks Lal.  It is just great to be able to share some photographs that depict some of their expressions with you all.

I will have to try and get a photo of Dante soon and let you see his latest trick.  As soon as I get up from the chair at the computer, he hops on to it and stands up to have a close look at what is on the screen.

His function is to keep a watchful eye on my health - NOT what I get up to on the computer!!  

He takes his role very seriously then ANNOCA  - trying to protect you from yousefl! 

Exactly Brisket!!!  I think he would be totally happy if he could have a clipboard and pen attached to him so as he could make notes!! 

One thing he does do, which Remy never did, is when my phone rings, he gathers it up in his mouth and brings it straight to me.  With Remy, she would run to me and bark up at me in a certain way to tell me it was ringing.

Hmm. . Maybe Dante is monitoring my calls behind my back!! 

Now that I think about it, if I make a call, where will Dante be???  Sitting on my shoulder, earwigging, to see who is on the other end talking to me!!  That is the honest truth.  He does it every time.

Maybe he is confusing Medical Alert Dog with Private Investigator Dog!! 

  Smashing!

They are both lovely. Nice faces and look so alert.

Annoca, they're lovely!

I adore the ET like picture - he looks gawjuss   and the shopping bag with both in 

He looks such a sweetie  ANNOCA

The photos are great Annoca. I love the ones of Dante and Dali in the shopping bag and the one with Dante, wrapped in the blue towel.

Thank you everyone.  I am glad I am not boring you all with the updates.

I will post some more photos at the weekend.

ello Annoca....

my daughter is home for the summer from boarding school (YAY!!!) ... and I showed her a couple of Dante pics (& then had to tell her the whole story of this thread... the daft girl got all teary eyed when I was telling her about the anxiety of getting Dante here... and then him finally arriving)... anyway...  

She loves Dante & Dali....   she keeps saying "Oooh they are really in love"....

and.... she said this photo (& some of the others) look like they have been taken by a professional


dead impressed she was.

I love the pics... Dante cracks me up...   I can't resist doing my impressions of whats going through Dantes head when I see them.    I love dogs with character and lots of expression... I think Dante steals the biscuit here...  funny little boy he is!

Glad you are well...    Dali is a stunner! 

Beautiful pictures Annoca, you are very talented with your camera And that the dogs stay whilst you do it is a miracle. So cute

awww Barmie  

i have 2 dogs and i dread the day anything happens to them


Annoca lovely pics

Hello ANNOCA
I know you were a little anxious about posting while Big Brother was at its height.
But I just thought I'd send good wishes to you and Dante and Dali.
Hope you are all doing well.
Please up-date us when you feel inclined - even if means starting a new thread after BB is over.
Would be nice to know how things are sometime.

Aw Annoca those pics are lovely please keep posting  

BB so sorry about your pet,
