May I also suggest that when he was so ill- you carried him around everywhere with you in his crate I remember you saying that you took him outside etc.... perhaps , because he was fussed over so while IN the crate, and it hurt when he was OUt.... it seems a good idea to stay IN it now Maybe you should start being a bit 'tougher'..and ONLY talk to him/praise him, when he is out of the crate, and doing stuff?

The only 'ritual' is the taking of a 'trophy'. Wonder if the roos were treated the same way? These guys were playing the hunter...and took home a reminder. There are ,whatever you may think of them, a lot of these people around. Sad, but true. Run free and happy over the bridge, dogs...

How confusing! BODY ONLY in the box, it seems if it is with the lenses- sounds good

mumsy- have the pups got nice black noses/dark eyes and eyelids?..What about their pads? be very careful..if there is little or no black pigment ,this may lead to problems. Agree that you may need to do some more research. did the breeder say why she still has a 5 mth old puppy?

*nods*

Lifesize casts of a bearded dragon and a sand goanna, a taxidermied duck (head/neck in some reeds) a little echidna I made, using some dried skin/spikes we found, as a base..and who is very cute , some feathers, a willy wagtail nest, a rain moth pupa case....just a few bits & pieces This is mainly for visitors- a lot of who are overseas/city folk who don't get to see such things normally . pics???? OK! I didn't forget ..and we added an entire shed snakeskin here: The little 'triceratops' beetle is circled in green, so you can see him!!

Python- computers break down, email gets lost.. a phone call will help you find out of the breeder is actually there, or if anything else is problematic

Beena long time .... but AFAIK it contains lots of goodies Antibiotics/binder/smooth muscle relaxant... so it will stop cramping/help solidify bowel content/kill bugs causing the problem...

Well, That's a handy thing :D.

Dogs are very good at looking after themselves:) She fits nicely!

Should be more of it!! :D

Usually they are fasted the night before.... if they have food/water in their stomachs, they may vomit under the anaesthetic .. and that can be dangerous. Afterwards- just offer him a drink later on, and maybe a small meal... he will probably be drowsy.Normal food etc next day. keep him warm and quiet and let him sleep! keep him from jumping around too much for a few days..he can still have his toys, of course- but no long walks, or bouncing off furniture he may need an elizabethan collar..chewed stitches are not a good thing. However, if you are with him, he can be watched then- without the elizabethan collar :D

First- BREATHE.. Anger is not really what you need now- it is calm planning and thought. Please do NOT set rat traps They can break a cat's foot/leg! Kidnapping/stealing someone else's pet is just WRONG. Obviuosly the owners DO care- cat has a collar and bell- which many do not...so many people still believe it is cruel to keep cats indoors at night, as cats are nocturnal,and the 'wild side' of them needs to roam.... I would suggest speaking with them... calmly... I would also suggest ,instead of phoning council, have a look at the websites.. see if there is a cat curfew law in place. Some folks who answer phones have no idea if there is a curfew in place- then by all means trap/impound cat. if not - then perhaps you can still trap it- or get one of those water squirting /motion activated things ;)or befriend the cat and remove the bell!

I'd keep the palm.... or - offer it for sale!! If it is a big old one- often they sell well- buyer to remove,of course. Old established palms are sought for housing projects/parks, etc. make enquiries A few in our town were removed from private gardens and planted at he Club and other spots! They were very old. Is yours a date palm? they take SO many years to grow..... it is a shame to kill them, I think.

hey...WELL DONE!!!!

I would also suggest you refer back to the breeder.... you may also like to read THIS

:D It works for me! Gorgeous shots- taken with the eyes of love.

I like having them around- they are much more 'trustworthy' than the feisty paper wasps!

yep- take out the flour/sugar/salt and vanilla, and make egg nog instead

Horty- glad you mentioned the white cedar- I 'thought' that is what it looked like...but had never seen one pollarded ( I HATE the look of pollarded trees ) Native frangipanis are beautiful trees- don't throw bits of themselves anywhere- and the perfume of their flowers is to die for :D

I don't know- but trying to establish new turf on unknown soil in Summer, with pretty tight water restrictions seems like way too much work Best of luck with it....

water the turf- advertiseit for sale..buy bark chips or gravel for the yard :D MUCH less hassle..... no watering...no holes, no mowing.. oh- and watering lawn each day is really BAAD.. it keep the roots just below the surface- so they cook and die Lawn - esp new stuff needs to be SOAKED... so the underneath soil is wet. Otherwise the roots will not/can not grow ... and the turf dies. Soaked is not a hand sprinkle- or even a sprinkler on for an hour.... it is watering deeply for a few hours once a week....... if you have sandy soil... the water will just run thru and need deep soakinhg regularly

That's a good story!! :D Smart boy . oh- and time to start getting kitten used to being outdoors in a secure run, so he doesn't get into trouble ..as he gets more adventurous!

I guess you 'could' specify anything.....
