Hi all,

I'm Linz. Been a member for years, but also been absent for years.

When I first joined, I had a lurcher called Milly, and a long-haired chihuahua called Honey (amazing how often that long hair of hers throws some people off and they ask about her breed, but I digress). Sadly I lost Milly in January last year. She had a heart attack and after a rush to the emergency vet, was PTS at 6 o clock in the morning. She was the sweetest dog I've ever had and she taught me a lot about myself and about dog ownership. She's still very much missed, and still visits me in my dreams. I have a keyring with hers and Max's (my first dog) names engraved in bones. It goes everywhere with me, so that a piece of them is always with me. I also have cuttings of their fur behind their canvasses.

There has been another addition. My cousin's cat had a litter of kittens . . . So Kaylus is a mini-black-panther with a splash of white on his chest. :D He's now 3 years old, and when he gets the chance, he comes on walks with me and Honey. He is also a monumental pain in the rear, but then, he's a cat, he would be.

I've come back like the prodigal daughter that I am because the forum's owners that I used to be on have decided to introduce AI to "generate engagement". I'm a writer. I can't tolerate the blatant theft of copyright that's used to train AI. Let's just hope they keep their mitts off this site.

Nice to see I recognise a few names - both from here and from the other forum.

Looking forward to getting reacquainted and meeting some new names. :)

I'm so sorry you lost Milly, Linz, but it's good to see you here - welcome back!
 
Hi and welcome back from me too. I am so sorry to hear your sad news about Milly...

But lovely to hear about your new addition Kaylus though. Someone to keep you on your toes no doubt!
Any pics of Honey and/or your boy? (I do love a Chi)
 
Thank you everyone.

Here they are. Honey, demonstrating how not to use a snuffle mat, :rolleyes: and Kaylus, just making sure I don't get any work done. As per usual. :D

Welcome back. So sorry for your loss from another lurcher fan (now lurcherless but wonderful memories).

I couldn't agree more about the copyright theft. Infuriating, and so damaging.

Yeah, Milly was a right character. Cheeky, sneaky, a terrible influence on her "sister" and "brother" and she played me like a fiddle, with her "what's in it for me?" attitude to training, but by God, she was the dog I needed. Might not have deserved her, but I needed her. :D

Yeah . . . Memories...

I'm sorry you lost yours too. By far the hardest thing about being a dog owner/parent.
 
I was out last night and must have had far too much of a good time because I read 'chihuahua' as 'chinchilla', and was very impressed that you took her for walks 🤣
 
So pleased to see you here. I'm kimthecat on PF.

I know who you are. :) Great to see you too. :D

Hello stranger😁

Hello, you. :D

I'm demented enough when Kaylus comes for a walk, never mind walking a chinchilla. It did make me laugh though. 🤣
 
Hello again. Have wondered about you from time to time so nice to hear from you. Sorry to hear about Milly though.
