Rainy

Hi guys im in need of before and after pics of a slightly matted dog, these pics are for yr 2 project so not to ghastly please. iv googled for pics but couldnt find any matching after photos, mr 7 is doing a project on caring for dogs and he wants to show why brushing is important thanks in advance

Iv alway's had mutts growing all of witch had staffy or amstaff in them i now have a staffy and plan on purchaseing my first PB stafford at the end of the year, i will never be without my staffy love. The breed id love to own but propberly never get is a great dane, the other breed i love are aussie sheps but i just go to thelinks house to get my fill of aussie loven

I am a smoker (hopfully not for long) and i refuse to smoke in the house so i go out the back, every now and then diesel will sit on a chair about a meter away but most of the time he goes out in the yard to lay down in the sun or if its raining he dosnt come outside at all. I dont smoke in the car with the kids or diesel, i rarely smoke in the car unless im on a long trip on my own. Honestly iv never realy thought about it because its habbit not to smoke around the kids or people who dont smoke anyway

5th wedding anniversary Iv been thinking n on all you guys have said and the only other way it can fit in is if the dogs sit on 2/3rds of the back seat and it sits over the otter third but if it sits there I have no way of strapping it down and it can hit the dogs in an accident or the small of the passengers back, where as if it is up on the roof it is locked in to place by the head rest and back door, will fiddle around some more and see if I can figure somthing else out

Where do you put crates if its in on an angle?

yeah it fits on the angle but then i cant fit any crates in, i have to fit a 36in and a 32/ 34 soft crate in. The handels are quite strong and with all the gear underneith it it can only fall 2cm if the straps do let go

Yeah i thought that too so i tested it my sister has a privet road so i did it there it honestly didnt move because the hockey straps are so tight and with all the dog gear packed under and around it dosnt have room to move, those pics arnt very good because i just tosed it up to give piper an idea of what i was trying to say

No worries :D im happy to pass this one on as its a dam good idea

When our club had our australia day exabition we had a fairly wide range of dogs there and i thought about this too, over all the fluffy dogs got the most attention ( Aussie, std Poodle, mini poodle and GRxPoodle) and the "short coated" dogs were were mostly ignored (staffy, kelpies ect) the majority of the people that paid attention to diesel were (for want of a better term) derro's asking where i got my pitty

Well arnt i a i went back to the store with the gazebo and the guy had a look at the car then went in to the shop and bought out 2 hockey straps then just straped it to the inside of the roof of the car and it fit feeling slightly stupid now

I used that excuse a year a go i really thought that i would fit in the back of my 4WD, i knew it would be tight but not 3 cm to long Dont really like them but that my be the way we have to go I dont even have the dog/bitch to show yet so i think one will do for now :D i will be practicing at diesels trials so i dont show up at my first show looking like a dope

thanks guys ill go with him tomorrow and have a look, he told me there was a delux compact there but it was $100 more dose that sound right to you? ETA: Yes big points to hubby for the gazebo what i shouldnt say is he is makeing up for a huge mistake

I was so lucky tonight my dear hubby bought me bought me a oztrail delux gazebo as an anaversery present but there is a problem it dosnt fit in my car by 3cm ;) I was told not to get the compact as it is not as strong is this true? arrgh happy yet sad :cool:

Cheers guys im going to make a disc of photos to send to jed with all the DOLers names with the pics of thier squares

I got a call on friday so will see you there ;)

Just wondering if any dol'ers became educators?

PM readysetgo she will know who to look for in that area
