Only a few days left to get your tickets :)

How am I getting anything done? With great difficulty!

I made this compilation video on my iPhone too. It's 6 minutes long, but it's worth it!

This is their mother Kimono. She has the most gorgeous temperament. She was breed assessed at the pound [where she whelped] as an Amstaff x. The father is unknown.

Bruno's loving his new playmates! There are nine pups in the litter. They have their own FB page > http://www.facebook.com/pupsinprogress

Last year we fostered Petey and Stella and when they went to their new homes I swore I'd never foster again. Our own four dogs are enough work as it is! I guess I forgot that resolution cause after doing their adoption photos at 6wks I offered to take on four puppies for Fetching Dogs The first week was full on, but we have a routine now so it's getting easier and I'm starting to enjoy their cuteness as opposed to hating their pooh :laugh: Kasumi Anzu Zen Dashi

Done :) The wording has now been changed, thanks.

Thanks everyone! I just organised the prizes, ruthjones. The charity status ins and outs aren't my department but I've passed the info on, thanks :)

Firstly, huge thanks to Troy for giving permission to post this. Secondly, I posted in general because I thought more people would see it here than in the rescue section. If it needs to be moved, please go ahead. Staffy Rescue is a registered animal welfare charity committed to trying to save and rehome as many Staffordshire Bull Terriers and larger bull breed dogs as possible. They are currently having to re-locate their rescue shelter and all the money raised from this fundraiser is going towards rebuilding Staffy Rescue so they can continuing saving these beautiful dogs from death row in the pounds across NSW. Angel, Chopper and Trixie are all ex-Staffy Rescue dogs, so organising this fundraiser is our way of giving back.

Yeah, she's fine again. Until the next time. There's always something with her!!

Thanks! I am a bit in love with my dogs <3 Thanks :) I don't have any more than what I posted on Bruno's page! Trixie hurt her leg running on the beach so I didn't want to make her pose for photos after that. She was feeling a bit sorry for herself. Thanks :) Thanks for looking! That's funny! :laugh: Thanks! Yeah, he's definitely a special one! :laugh:

Well said

When all his energy was expended he did some lovely posing while the sun set. Back at the house Angel and Chopper took their sentinel duties at the window very seriously. Bruno, not so much! It would have been wrong to leave without a photo on the terrible 60s carpet. I also took the opportunity to finally take a family portrait. Bruno decided everyone was being all too serious for his liking, but Chopper didn't break his pose. What a champion! If you want to see more photos from our trip you can check out the whole album on Bruno's page here.

It's been ages since we've had time away with the dogs [or without them for that matter] so when I found out that a holiday rental we've been to before down the South Coast was available for the Queen's birthday long weekend I didn't hesitate to book it. It's a long drive - especially if you go the wrong way like we did - but it's worth it. After 6+ hours in the car the dogs were ready to burn off some energy, so before going to buy groceries we gave them a big runaround in the garden. It was bright but overcast. Perfect photography conditions! Saturday marked a year since Bruno joined our pack so he had a special "Gotcha Day" outing to the beach. As soon as his leash was unclipped he went about "killing" every bit of seaweed in his path. It was beyond ridiculous to watch - he's such a clown! As soon as he'd removed any potential threat from the seaweed he decided to play with his favourite Cuz toy.

Someone was at our house recently and commented that having the heater near the memory foam dog beds is bad as it can generate noxious fumes. Does anyone know if that's true?

Finally, a year after adopting Bruno, we have a pack portrait :)

I would wash in a medicated shampoo weekly until it clears. Put some Neocort on the area a couple of times a day. Give him a Phenergan once or twice daily. Then if you can't prevent him from chewing put a cone on him until it heals.

One a day is probably plenty. On the days we feed frames that's all ours get. I wouldn't necessarily say ours are active. They get a 30-60 minute walk every day but the rest of the time is spent mostly indoors snoozing. My OH did some research and said they're full of nutrition and you shouldn't need to supplement them. I know breeders that feed frames and nothing else whose dogs look great.

Yeah, we "lost" Angel twice Both times we were having parties so people were coming and going. The first time she'd been shut in the garage, it didn't take too long to find her. The second time was a daytime affair and she had tunneled under the deck to keep cool. Took ages to find her cause she knew she wasn't allowed to do that so when we eventually found her she pretended she was stuck so she wouldn't get in trouble! OH was about to dismantle the deck when I made everyone go inside and she came out by herself. Brat :laugh:

When we had Ivan the Husky with three bull breeds I got the "strange combination" comment quite regularly. I guess they are very different, but I've seen others with the same combo, so it's not that uncommon. Now that I walk four bull breeds I get at least one of these on every walk: You've got your hands full Are you a dog walker Do they fight Are they related And my favourite... How did you get them all to walk so nicely :D

I need to take a proper group shot of my lot, I don't have any, only iphone pics. I do love this one though. It wasn't staged :laugh:
