Hello from West Yorkshire

Hi Everyone, I've written a bit about myself in my profile but basically I will be 63 yrs old in April & I'm happily retired & I'm owned & very much loved by my 2 Staffies Charlie who'se 8yrs & Molly (the Moo) aged 6yrs. I've been owned by Staffies for nearly 20yrs.

I joined Catsy yesterday as I'm also owned by 10 Cats who also love me very much esp at feeding time. I live 5 mins away from the Moors where my dogs love to run most days. Charlie loves playing fetch, he would chase a ball all day. Molly Moo prefers to chase rabbits, but will play fetch when she feels like it as long as she gets a treat.

I tried to do a few Smilies but they just came up as grin grin grin so can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong. Thanks in advance.
All for now, Regards, Deirdre & her happy Clan

Hi Deidre and welcome to Dogsey

When you click on a smilie it will just show as say grin until you submit reply and then it will come up as the picture.

Thanks for the welcome & the advise on the smilies. I thought it was me.

HiAnnestaff, Thanks for welcoming me, great to find another Staffie lover. I have to say I'm bonkers about them, that big Staffie smile gets mine exactly what they want, & they know it. Regards, Deirdre & her happy Clan

Hi SLB, What a lovely way to welcome me. Your dogs are beautiful. Regards, Deirdre & her happy Clan

Hi Deidre and the happy clan

Welcome,Im a new member too,joined last month,just after losing 1 of my dogs.Lulu who was 14.I had so much support from Dogsey members ,which was a great comfort as her death was sudden and I was devastated-still am .Its a very welcoming site,and there are lots of people to give advice and share problems.
My daughter has a rescue staffy,Daisy, who is very laid back,LOVES people but not other dogs,which is a shame.
I have joined Catsey too-I have 3 cats,2 are 14 and 1 is 6,all house cats ,all rescues,all know when it is tea time and will come and tell you.
We have 1 dog now,Buster,who has dementia-hes 14 and grew up with Lulu and 2 of the cats-they see him as their "dad" and 1 follows him round and cuddles up to him.
Be warned -Dogsey can be quite addictive,still at our age-(Im nearly 65,)we are allowed a few addictions ,arent we?,
Take care from Maureen
