Well you could call her Eleanor, or Rita, Michelle, Penny Lane, Lucy etc (or even Yolko)  Sorry couldn't resisit the last on!!!

We had a litter of 11 Airedale pups that we named after Beatles songs. 

Slight hijack here....Raeburg you've done it now!!!  Fancy mentioning Airedale pups with Roll Roll around

Hijack over soryy TMG was rude of me. 
Hope that Hope gets better!!!   Maybe she wants to be a house hen!!

That haunting melody, full of raw emotion and highlighting the true bittersweet tragedy of love...

"Octopus's Garden"

Ah yes. A true genius. 

sorry  

Rob

yeah, and this from someone who's probably never got over Angela Ripon

does roll roll like airedales then?

[matilda duck]

He does that!!!  When we decided to have another dog it was a toss up between a Airedale and a Red setter..........I won and we had the Setter, Maybe Roll Roll was right as they seem a bit less dippy!!

[poultrygeist]

   Angela Ripon ?

why angela ripon ?  :blink:

and what's there to get over ? 

I respected her. It was nothign more. 

[too many girls]

you seem like the type who'd liked Angela Ripon and i couldn't think of anyone else

[poultrygeist]

   I am an enigma, wrapped in a mystery, entangled in cheap garden netting. 

I was traumatised when she did the Morecombe and Wise show. It destroyed my view of the world as a predictable and stable place to live.
And then Eddie Waring and Michael Aspel did the South Pacific thing and I just gave up.

They are not dippy but they are very obstinate.  My parents used to show them and they were a lovely bunch of girls and just as awkward as hens for sorting out a pecking order (and bigger with pointy teeth).  i loved being around the pups, once having a litter share my bedroom for 6 weeks.

SSSShhhhh Don't let Roll Roll hear you say that!!   We were told Airedales like to eat off the worktops it is one of their habbits!  Well our setter does that and worse

MD, my friend has an Airedale, she's an angel-honest[ but thats the only one i know ]
   TMG, hows the patient today. 

[joyfull]

Hi I hope TMG doesn't mind me posting this for her but sadly Hope passed away in her arms early this morning. As I'm sure everybody will appreciate she is really cut up about it but she really did do everything possible to help save her little one and nobody could have done any more. Love and hugs from me xxx

[kitkat]
