Oilskin lady to quick to reply, she has given me bsb and account no, Ive sent funds, now all I have to do is wait - very impressed with her so far! Cheers, Jacqui

I dont know but I hope your puppy gets better Best wishes...

once i work with charlie a little more I will. I dont want to make a fool of either of us though lol *either of us as in me, or charlie

the oilskin lady has replied, ive asked to to advise me how to pay, and then the order is done! Hooray for dol!

*scuffs her feet* I need to do more training jacqui

she has emailed back saying yes she is still operating, but will get back to me regarding the fabric I want. Fingers crossed - I'll let you all know. Jacqui xo

lol, Sway I found this yesterday and have already emailed her! Hope she is still operating! Charlie seems to really feel the cold, so I am paranoid about him getting too chilly. I hope he doesnt look too silly, Im hoping he will look deliciously cute

LOL a'la Mr Wilson!

soooo excited, searching through the archived topics i found a place to get doggie pjs!! I am getting some from kickatinalong, hopefully in the stripey material!! very reasonably priced i think. We are going to be doing a fair bit of camping, so pjs, and a new oilskin coat is in order! anyone tell me where they got their pups oilskin from? Thanks everyone - loving the knowledge in this place, you all rock!!! ~ Jacqui

Ah its good to get tips (if you don't mind) so Ill be "clipping" away lol. Charlie and I have a long way to go :-) ~ Jac

That was awesome!! Just played your clip and Charlie went OFFFF!! He couldnt find the other damn Beagle that was howling!!!! He is still growling!!! Ill have to wait until he is in bed to look at your other clips... *oh god 5 mins later he is still howling.....* *heads in hands*

With the inner health plus, is that the human kind from the chemist, and do you just give the pup the pill, or do you split it into food? Charlie has eye gunk, and Im trying to stop hubby from occasionall feeding dry to see if it clears it up. Cheers, Jac

Now that I look at that ad I wonder if its one of the girls down at the vet we use......will update tomorrow lol!!

omg. how did you find that???? Sweet!! Thank u I must be blind!!

i really dont know, it would depend on the service offered. ie. high school student walking for 1/2 hr after school - $10 or professional dog handler walking feeding interaction $xxx/hr

Check out Wagtails. I havent used them but they are meant to be good. Sorry no llink,google it

*bump* anyone else? anything?

Tough one. $1k? thats alot for good neighbourly relations. Or $500? There is no way that it is acceptable for you to pay the lot!! Good Luck. What a hard situation to be in. ~ Jacqui * do they have pet insurance? maybe they are covered and thats why they are comfortable about it...?

Did you get Indy from a registered breeder, and does she have her papers? It sounds like you love your pup heaps and have just been scared off by naysayers!

* also, as he got older i did training every day, like sit/stay/roll over etc. Clicker training was really effective for him, and got a great FAST result. We still practice every day but I am slack in not teaching him alot else. edited to add: how old is your pup?

Hey there, congrats osn your gorgeous new baby. When we first had Charlie we he was outside through the day, with a doggie nanny coming in the afternoons cuddle feed and play if we were on shifts. Eventually we worked it up to Charlie having access inside and outside whilst we are gone. He has never destroyed anything inside and we leave the tv on for him (channel 2 or sbs, i like him to have an education LOL ) He howls for 1-3 mins after we leave a couple of times a week. Thats it. I know this because I check with the neighbours. He has a rotation of interactive toys that we leave him with through the day, one day with will be x x x, the next day will be o o o - you get the drift. The area around the side sounds good to start with as long as there is adequate shade/water/toys etc.....once a little older I cant see when she cant play in the main yard (assuming there is shade/water etc). Your probably already know this, but beagles are pack animals. They want to be with you all the time. Charlie really is an inside beagle, goes outside to play and toilet, but really, wherever we are, he is. This includes night time. She won't howl or be disturbed if she is included in your *pack*. The exercise sounds fantastic - is more than what Charlie gets. I've noticed that whats most important to Charlie is that he gets sniffy time, so even if the walk isnt mega, if he gets is 1/2 hr of sniffy time, he is one happy pup. He does get exercise every day of course. I am no expert, have had Charlie for 9 months and struggled alot, there are heaps more people who know more that me but thats my thoughts, from one beagle lover to another. ** Charlie is currently snuggled up in his snoozer next to me as I type this and he couldnt be happier, dreaming happy puppy dreams - my little man

Thanks, Ill do that :-) * thats my issue with Gumtree etc, not all have references, which is why I've put the call out. I want someone that someone else has had a good experiance with.

Hi all, A little stressed out here - trying to find someone to help walk Charlie as I get over surgery, and OH has some nasty shiftwork coming up as well. Poor Charlie I just want someone to either walk him, and feed him and give him a cuddle in the late afternoon, or a dog sitter or doggy day care that works odd hours. lol. Im asking too much arent I? There is a place at Sumner Park that is just SOOOO expensive for day care (I dont understand what they are charging for???!!) and they dont seem to allow late pick ups.....just want someone to help out whilst we are stuck - damn surgery and OH stoopid shift work Any ideas would be great. We are near Forest Lake, Sumner Park, Mt Ommaney type area. I'd love a reccomendation from someone who has been happy with their pup being looked after by...whoever lol. Thanks All Jacqui

I have nothing to offer other that O M G! Are you going to go get mum desexed? Only one pup? Is that normal? Maybe post this in the breeders section - they will be able to guide you in the right direction..... Can we have some pics??? Good Luck! Jacqui
