I’m an older girl in my golden years and I’m looking for a peaceful retirement home. I may be classified as a senior but I have a lot of life to live yet and a lot of love to give so please don’t discount me because of my age. Some of the best kitties older, more settled and calm and can make the best companions without the energy to do zoomies and tear around the house at stupid o’clock at night. I’m more likely to curl up quietly on the couch or the end of your bed. If I sound like the mature girl for you then you should come and meet me today. Chestnut Animal ID:143059 | Beagle/Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Male | 5 Years | Tri Color Sweet, soulful, and full of curiosity, Chestnut is a beautiful Beagle cross looking for a forever family to call his own. With his soft, floppy ears and gentle eyes, this handsome boy is as charming as his name suggests. True to his Beagle roots, Chestnut loves to follow his nose and would thrive in a home where he can enjoy daily sniffy adventures, whether that’s in the backyard, on bushwalks, or exploring new places with his people. Chestnut is a friendly, social boy who enjoys the company of humans and other dogs and would love to be part of a home where he can be included in daily life. He’s looking for a home committed to ongoing training and enrichment to keep his bright little mind busy. In return, Chestnut promises endless affection, a lifetime of tail wags, and a loyal companion through life’s ups and downs. Puss Puss, Chestnut and more wonderful pets are waiting to meet you at AWL Coombabah on Shelter Road, Coombabah. Just Joking! An insurance salesman is visiting a remote farmstead. He parks at the foot of the driveway and walks up to the house to find an old Labrador lying on the porch. As he tries to step over it, it speaks! “Watch where you’re stepping, buddy!” The salesman almost faints with shock. “You can talk!” “Yeah, sure”, says the dog. “I’ve made a pretty good career out of it.” Intrigued, the salesman asks to hear more. “Well”, says the dog, “it all began back in ‘81. My owner found out about this gift I had, and turned me into a travelling sideshow. ‘Course, all I had to do was do simple skits, a few words, a couple jokes; it was pretty beneath me, but it paid well. Anyway, I was spotted by some government types, and got recruited by the CIA. They taught me to speak Russian, and I was infiltrated into secret bases all over the Soviet Union. I mean, who’s gonna suspect a dog, right? I was the the most effective source of intelligence throughout the entire cold war; I can’t tell you how many times I saved the world with my timely intel. “After the cold war ended, I got moved to the FBI rooting out terrorist cells: same gig, different bad guys. In the end, after becoming the FBI’s most decorated agent, I was retired; I had my pick of the lady dogs as they tried to breed a successor with my gift, but I guess I’m just unique. So I ended up in retirement here, filling my days in comfort and peace.” The salesman is practically bursting at this. Just then the farmer emerges from the farmhouse. “How much do you want for this incredible dog?” yells the salesman. “I’ll pay any price!” The farmer spits. “Y’all can have him for nothing.” The salesman is even more flabbergasted. “How can you give away such an incredible animal? A talking dog with such an amazing story?” The farmer laughs. “Cos he’s a damn liar. He never did any of that stuff.” and that is WHY the chicken crossed the road!
