Sorry, I'm on iPhone so can't see - what state do you live in? Vic and Qld BSL laws might be a factor.

Then I should call you Aunty Puppy_Sniffer! Two black girls, one black boy and one yellow girl. All beautiful, I'm told!

That's beautiful. Do you need to change your DOL username again now?

I have a couple of very early photos of the litter but one squidgy black guinea pig looks just like another at that age! Give us a chance! :laugh: Apparently mum and bubs are doing well and bubs have already put on weight. My boy was born at 475g and is already 525g - so maybe he should be called Bubba or Boofer, not little Sammy

Hey MWoof we should organise some puppy cuddles over summer!

He's going to be called Sammy after Sammy Davis Jnr, because of the Candyman song. I think 'you could even eat the dishes' HAS to be the Labrador theme song? Maybe his middle name can be Troy.

Oooooooooh - just remember I will be your BESTEST FRIEND. :laugh: :laugh: OT - are you doing your stall this year? I was hoping to but have had no time, between job changes and uni study. I'd like to do something at the Lugarno Lions Spring Fair next year but might need a ratepayer to write the letter to Council to see if we can get a scanner and ranger like that really successful year we had at Riverwood! I've still got my boxes of kit ready to set up!

He came from a few suburbs over, so posters will be very difficult. Last time I put up posters around us, the Council took them down again the next day. Cynthia he's at risk of being a FF with us, my husband's pretty impressed with him! I highly recommend this boy to the rescue groups though. I'm also concerned our fences wouldn't keep him in, he's so small (which is why he's crated today). I agree about the amount of misinformation and confusion in the general public. A few years ago I put together a flyer 'what to do if you find a pet/what to do if you lose a pet' and printed out heaps for the local vets (and pound). I've also run a stall for three years at a local fair, pushing this line. I just wish the Councils would be more friendly and proactive about the issue. After Tuesday ($70 million on Ozlotto :D ) I'll have lots more time and resources to devote to this issue!

Thanks Purdie yep I called the pound at 9am when they opened! Nobody's been looking for him yet

A black Lab boy was born on Saturday morning and we pick him up at Christmas! Our beautiful Stevie was a BYB/puppy farmer pup given to us as a gift when she was less than six weeks old. Jodie is a foster failure Kelpie, due to DOL Rescue. We love both madly of course. However, our new puppy Sammy is a DOL dog through and through - Tapua bred out of Invergowrie and Driftway lines. I didn't know anything about anything about dogs before joining DOL, but this puppy is the result of years of reading of this forum. Good breeder, lots of thought and planning, he will be well fed and trained and cared for from the start. If he's show-worthy I might even try to do that :laugh: I should have called him Troy!

He'll be ok at Canterbury. They try very hard to contact chipped owners and if that's not successful I know that Monika's or maybe CPR or one of the other littlie rescues work with Canterbury. He's already desexed. He has a bit of scabbing under his front legs, I'm wondering if he might have escaped from a harness. He came out of his crate this morning with a big stretch, toileted beautifully, did some mad zoomies with Jodie, and tucked back in with a chicken wing. He's a picky delicate eater, Stevie can't believe he can take so long to think about eating! He only started on his dinner last night when he thought Jodie might want it. He can get a good snarl up when he thinks another dog might take his food, but I'm feeding him in the crate. I was supposed to have an 8.30am meeting so couldn't get in late to work, so he's off to the pound tonight. Hubby started calling him Tyson last night and the little bloke responded to it! He loves men more than women.

Bump just because he's sweeter than I expected and appears to have been well cared for.

His little front teeth are perfect, and only a bit of brown on his back teeth. He also wanted to play after just half an hour's rest when I thought he'd crashed for hours. So I think he's younger than his muzzle colour implies. He just completely ignored the cat when she tried to reclaim OH's lap! Good boy!

I hope they are too. He's such a sweetie. He's pretty sure my husband's lap is where he needs to watch tv. Our cat is disgusted, he smells a lot like a dog

Young-ish desexed male mini-foxie type, found at Wiley Park. http://www.dolforums.com.au/topic/242982-found-little-foxy-type-dog-wiley-park-nsw/ Has a chip but the number is disconnected. Does anyone know who this 'petfinder' organisation is, that the vet clinic rang?

One of our local vet practices was open so he's been scanned - has a chip but the 'petfinder' company the vet deals with said there was only a disconnected number. We'll take him to Canterbury Pound tomorrow. He's 5.3kg, white with black ears and spot on his rump, may be a lot younger than the bit of grey flecking in his muzzle indicates. His teeth are pretty good and even with all this stress he's determined to do a bit of zooming and play with Jodie. So far he's very quiet, hasn't uttered a peep. Loves car rides and is nice and light on lead. Definitely house-trained, he'd been hanging on for hours and was so excited to be on grass and his first wee took AGES, poor sod! Didn't react to our cat either, thankfully, though he might chase if she was the sort to run. He's difficult to take close-up photos of because he likes kissing Canterbury Pound works very well with rescue and the little ones don't usually have any problems. ETA no after-hours stuff seems to happen around here

Why do they always turn up after pound hours? Male, desexed, middle to older aged young, black markings on white, has been under a set of units for a few days with kids poking him and throwing things, finally emerged for a woman walking her dogs past but then she didn't know what to do. No collar. She drove around for a couple of hours then ended up at the pet food shop at the same time as my husband, who has brought him home. He met our dogs happily but now has retreated into a dark corner and doesn't want to eat or drink. I think he's here for the night then OH can take him to the pound in the morning. If anyone in the Wiley Park area has seen a poster, please let me know! Edited to update first post to say he's much younger than first thought, and only acts scared for a short while then wants to play!

Ok but just remember Jodie thinks she's the boss, we all humour her. You share the cupboard with Stevie.

I've just made my first order through Cleanrun. Hopefully the girls will appreciate it! Two questions for the experienced site-watchers - is there a puppy proofing DVD? I could only find the book. I'm not going to order anything at all for the new puppy until I know for sure he's born, but I'm planning ahead anyway :) Also has anyone ordered something big and heavy (for example the 18 link roll-up ramp) and if so how much is the shipping?

I know Kane is amazing but how did he learn to type? Hi B

I break the wishbone but I also break out the hardest part of the breastbone, that hooky bit comes away from the cartilage (after a yucky episode of Bondi SASH). I get the same free ones as TD but buy our meat as well, they're good butchers. We have a little mini freezer but it's half full of Big Dog BARF and the odd pub raffle meat tray as well. We keep it pretty busy :) Husband hasn't yet worked out why thd lamb chops keep disappearing (freezer burn, promise!)

Yes, but Canberra is boring and either too hot or too cold and the roads go round in circles and it's full of public servants. So there!

Shirley has family and neighbours who will take over if she needs it, though she's tough as old boots and a bit scary! She backs a trailer better than anyone else I've dver seen, and has had the same groomer visiting and doing half the dogs in the street for about twenty years. Her next door neighbours have been there for many many years and they've always walked their little dogs together. I'm such a softy the pup would end up with me if anything terrible happened and nobody else could help.

Chicken for the right price and a steak for the guard dogs I might try smuggling jake out - she'll never notice...

Excellent. Problem solved - Cos moves to Sydney! I want her nearby so much, whether we get a puppy or not :)
