persephone

Ours sometimes catch and eat them... but we DO NOT USE POISON anywhere. The cats eat quite a few .

Ok- Jan 10 photo... taken with my finepix S8000d super macro function. framed, blurred/selectively coloured effects, and text all done in Picasa.

ash.... BIG pics ...lots of wasted time here downloading ....... I haven't looked at them,sorry.

If he is happy to go somewhere OFF the paper... then why try and force him to use paper? Sounds as if he's doing a good job so far I feel that maybe grabbing him everytime he toilets may make him unwilling to toilet in front of you....but I may be mistaken,too! Someone wiser than I will come along soon

ships & chooks & dogs & plants & legs & flowers & allsorts!! ) oh--- OK... tomorrow

Ok... the obligatory "dog pic" I actually don't do many of the dogs at all.... here's my Hamlet, in the back of the ute this afternoon As he hates the camera..it's hard to get a good one of him..but I think this one sort of does him justice there are some very inventive and inspired photography minded DOL'ers here it's lovely to see the variation of subjects and styles!!

This is a job for council. Simple.

I failed the challenge. not feeling like doing photos at the moment..maybe tomorrow ? maybe .

Widget gets a frozen bone ( usually a piece of lamb flap) every night... keeps her quiet.. she doesn't balk at things if she's chewing

lamb flaps are great... but be cautious about adding fat to her diet.. do t gradually, or you may end up with a smelly dog until her tummy gets used to it

Todays lot are very diverse and interesting ! Everyone has their own take on things ;) No matter what camera equipment is used,it is the eye of the artist which determines what we see

poor old soul... ;)

Chicken necks are not ideal for any but tiny pups/dogs. if you do use them.. buy large ones,and feed them frozen ) don't cut them up.. there is more ikelihood of a dog swallowing a chunk The reason I see them as unsuitable,as that their diameter is about the same as a dog's throat... and they can get stuck! I tried them with my boy when he was a pup.. didn't last long after a scare!

enjoy it before the parrots find it!! One of my nashis getting ripe

:rofl: Lovely work- happy dogs,fluffy dogs, and sunsets to die for, Long beers and green leaves, and sweet things to cry for ! dragons and teens and nice shiny floors, dogs with no colours, and cats with sharp claws

Today's "Brain Food" cropped in picasa.

These two need a chance to have a good sniff!! Try gently holding them both... so they can sniff the tail end of the other..one at a time. Give your girl first go.. it is her house ;) maybe have her in a crate ,, and back him up to it,so she can sniff. Then do the same.. him in crate, and her backed up. this puts you in control,and takes away any eye contact-/ threats from the other dog Often new dogs will try & sniff, but the other one will not stand stil... and sometimes things get a bit tense...This way, their curiosity is satisfied!

I found an old old bottle... must have once contained something toxic... but it looked interesting Not much PP done.. just took away some unwanted blue hues, and darkened th ewriting a little for legibility.

The more groups you're in...and the more you comment on others' photos...the more 'exposure', leading to comments/invites/favourites/awards.....

kja... you have to have your works in groups, too..!! LOTS of groups !! go to your photostream.. and clickk on GROUPS.. up the top,in between contacts and explore do a search for groups which interest you... like THIS? then add yur photos that way, people of like mind see and comment on your pics... and if you do the same.. you will soon be busy!!

Yes.. That would be lovely

LOVE the ducky pic ;) if anyone wants... they can see MY FLICKR pics I used to be on there a LOT when using work's computer.... but don't go there now,as dialup's too slow :)

Would your 2 year old use the stroller if it was a special treat...he could perhaps carry the dog's water bottle/ball/treats/spare leash etc.. and that could be his 'job'? or.. 20 mins /half hour everyday walk?...

he would benefit greatly from a 'controlled'.. on leash LONG walk twice a day. The walks/sessions he is getting are geared toward HIM pleasing himself...and are not often enough to cancel out the excitement factor What it appears to me is that HE decides what running he does.. you have not got him on lead.. so you don't dictate A half hour twice weekly of onlead walking is nowhere near enough to be of benefit for any dog... let alone a young healthy energetic one,sorry :rolleyes: Ball games are ok... as a treat.. they ,IMO increase excitement,and give the dog not much practice in discipline. Playing with another dog stops him being bored, but does NOT teach him how to walk calmly/behave calmly around humans. he is learning how to be a dog... with other dogs... and not so much learning to be a dog interacting in a calm and thinking way with humans. If he were mine.. and I don't have kids..so it would be easier.. he would be indoors on leash, for sessions during the day...learning the finer points of walking quietly, lying down in one spot calmly... respecting human children...
