Spot.

Sorry but I had to @ your pictures. Fleecy blankets will be fine :) Don't waste any more money on dog beds. I stopped buying beds a while ago because I have a husky who just destroys them.

It is a private rental, and we moved in yesterday but the lease was signed today and we were told no dogs inside before we signed it but after we had moved in. I wish I could convince my partner to abandon bali and move again. We could have the money together for another bond in less than a month, but he's not biting. I don't understand why they've said no dogs inside at all. There's nothing in here that they could damage that isn't either less than $100 to replace or ours, the most damage they can do is to the turf outside which apparently is $1000 if it needs to be replaced -_- we're so screwed. Have you spoken to the owners about it at all? Tell them your concerns and if they won't budge then tell them you are moving out. You won't need to come up with a new bond if the owners refund your bond. If you only paid it yesterday then I doubt they have even lodged it. If you moved in yesterday and got the lease today then why sign it if it said no dogs are allowed inside? If the lease doesn't actually say 'no dogs inside' then can they really say no?

I use the crates for various reasons. Sometimes the dogs will sleep in their crates all night and other times they sleep outside, in the lounge or on my bed. If it is really hot/cold/bad rain and I have to be at work then I will crate them whilst I am out of the house. The outdoor area isn't that fantastic at protecting them from the elements and I don't like them being inside unsupervised. One husky chooses his crate over sleeping anywhere else in the house. He puts himself in there and I just leave the door open and he ventures out when he is ready. My dogs are 6, 7 and 9ish so they are not as active as they used to be and just spend most of their days sleeping. They don't really care where they sleep :)

I called and they said it would be preferable if she was registered in case she went missing. I said she was microchipped so they said if I bring proof that she is registered in NSW they will be able to a reciprocal? registration. That proof must be with the de-sexing certificate :laugh: I should be able to get onto the vet clinic where she was de-sexed :)

I might give that a try. I wouldn't even have bothered with it if it wasn't for the really annoying neighbour who will stir trouble just because she can. My other dog is going to stay with my OH's parents but they live on a rural property so it won't matter. I actually have no idea where I put all of her documents, including her de-sexing certificate

Thanks kelpiecuddles. I might give them a call tomorrow. I only just thought of it when I was chatting to my mum. I wish Queensland had lifetime registration like NSW.

Thanks Ams :)

Hello Everyone, Long story short Mia is going to stay with my Mum in Queensland for 3 months. My mum lives in Logan City Council. For the duration of her stay in Queensland would she need to be registered under that council? She is registered in NSW. My mum has a difficult neighbour and I want to make sure that there is nothing to complain about. Thanks :)

There are plenty of people like you out there. You are buying a puppy, not getting a plumbing job or a new car. You don't haggle with the price of a pet, it makes you sound like a scab. Just pay the money and enjoy your puppy

I used to take my dog with me to a small set of shops when I went to either the chemist/the bakery/take away store/convenience store. I was only ever in there for a few minutes at most and I never had any troubles. I grew up in that area and for me and my dog the risk was minimal. I now live in Sydney and the closest set of shops is a shopping centre so leaving her tied up out the front is not an option. Kind of sad really as I like walking with the dogs to get a few supplies :)

I haven't come across anyone here who wants the pound dogs to die. Well a few people have mentioned they wont be happy until PR goes under, but no one is prepared to take on the role of getting dogs off death row, therefore if PR ceases to run, all those dogs will be back on death row. I know someone on facebook even said that pound dogs were just mutts and not real dogs anyway, sadly I don't think they'd be the only person in the world to have that opinion. There are people out there who have those views and that is sad to me. Do not mistake us for people who want pound dogs to die, we don't. I want PR to have some transparency and take accountability for the questions they have been asked. PR is not the first group of people to help pound dogs and if you think they are then you are severely mistaken.

I haven't come across anyone here who wants the pound dogs to die.

Are you going to answer any of the questions that people have asked you?

My old Pajero (13yrs old with 250,000 kms on the clock and still going strong) is fondly known amongst family and friends as "the dog's car". I can spend all day vacuuming, damp cloth wiping, sticky taping and individually picking out Dalmatian hair (the worst offender for hair loss I have ever owned!) and still only get up 75%. I think it looks better but my grown up kids look at it with horror still. They dread the day the old 4wd goes and beg me not to put the dogs in the car they share because they don't want dog hair everywhere :) Dalmatian fur is the absolute worst. It embeds itself into everything. I have a massive supply of lint rollers and refills.

You said this perfectly. They had one post which read "17 minutes and still three dogs still to be killed at the pound. These dogs have no hope right now.....etc" See attachment. People proceeded to then donate long after that 17 minutes was up - PR said they needed at least $1000 to help the 3 dogs. Were their bank accounts so empty that they couldn't help them? Or do they just use the dogs with a sob story about how they will die today unless they donate as hype to generate donations? If they are using false statements to bring in the donations then surely that can't be legal even if they are using the money on other dogs.
