I shouldn't have looked at the pics.... I soooo want one now! T.

It used to be that if anyone came onto your property uninvited, then you were not liable for your dog biting them. Who knows what the legal standpoint actually is nowadays? Remember the case of the little girl who entered a neighbour's yard and was killed by the pig-hunting dogs? I think there was some amendment to the law suggested back then... did the pollies ever actually get the law changed? Seriously though, if you can show that your dogs are adequately contained to their own property, and the person bitten was not on your property with your permission (implied or otherwise), then they may have a hard case to prove that you can be held liable... (unless that person is a child, and the media gets hold of the story... because we all know that children are above all reproach and can go wherever they please, right?) My yard is double gated - and I don't need a sign warning that there are dogs there - they make it well known if there's a stranger trying to come into the yard. There is no possible way that any intruder can claim they didn't know there was a dog on the property... *grin* T.

... and obviously still enjoying it to the max... lol! T.

Still allows the farmers to ship their pups off to the pet shops before being chipped... why should the pet shops step up and take responsibility for the pups bred by others and shipped to them for quick sales? Everyone else is bound by law to chip BEFORE they pass a pup on to ANYONE... not that this is actually done by most BYB... but why should the mass producers of pets be exempt from this most basic of laws? T.

My eyes are leaking... Gorgeous! T.

Happy dance time! Go Harry! T.

If you can safely remove the duck from where it is, and get it to the RSPCA or AWL (Animal Welfare League) nearest you, they will take it in... T.

I'm never moving to Victoria... T.

If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck - it must be a witch... Monty Python and the Holy Grail... *sigh*

You're on!!! T.

Sometimes it seems like people are either "GSD people" or "Rotti people"... it's almost like some people just can't bring themselves to like (or even accept) both breeds. Personally, I'm not a complete fan of the look of the GSD, and the longer coat doesn't really do it for me as a dog owner - but I'm equally as likely to approach someone out walking one to ask for a pat/cuddle. But to really get me excited (to the point of becoming stupid), there's nothing better on the planet than getting myself some Rotti cuddles and kisses. I remember once going to a Dangerous Dog Handling course run by Steve Austin - and he brought out King... I actually squealed and said "wanna cuddle Rotti puppy". I got my Rotti cuddles and kisses from him and was in heaven! Steve thought it was hysterically funny that all I thought when I saw his highly trained attack dog was that I wanted to cuddle him - everyone else at the course were rather apprehensive of King - especially after he demonstrated his arm work... errr! Seriously though Dyzney - all of your dogs are even prettier and more cuddlesome than King was... I wouldn't be able to contain myself if I saw you out with them... I'm a complete Rotti "tragic"... T.

Hey Dyzney - have you noticed that some people who have been "GSD people" have a kind of disdain for Rotties? When I owned Rotties, I noticed that GSD people did tend to categorise MY dogs for some reason... go figure? If I saw you out with your babies, I'D be the one rushing over to ask for a cuddle... I'm a bit of a Rotti fan... *grin* Do yours give kisses to strangers? I love Rotti face cleaning kisses... T.

PM ruthless - she usually does a rescue calendar, and her photos are amazing! T.

Totally loving Sid's spots... lol! T.

9 is only middle aged for a Poodle... certainly not old by a long shot! The adoption fee is non-negotiable - no matter what the person enquiring may feel about it. We've had people tell us that our dogs should be free "because they are rescues"... whatever that is supposed to mean. No matter the time, effort, and money we have put into them to prepare them for new forever homes. T.

Hahaha! So she can kill her toys as well as killing daisies? Poor Blondie - I thought she'd taught Neko not to mess with her last week.... T.

What does Neko have in her mouth in that first photo of her crashing the party? It looks suspiciously like a chicken wing... errr! T.

He's beautiful! and I love the bio... well done! Some dogs take a little while to find their perfect forever home, but it WILL happen... T.

Pickles gets attention because of her funny walking style - she walks kind of like a marionette puppet due to the scar in her brain sustained as a wee puppy - and when people ask what "breed" she is, I just tell then to pick one, as it's probably in the mix somewhere... lol! Pickles is a tart for pats, and we get to talk about rescue dogs - so I'm not too fazed at being stopped with her. I've had people ask what breed Trouble is, and then when told she's a Labrador, get the comment that she can't be because she's not fat... *sigh* T.

Extra treats for Wilma methinks... what a good little girl! T.

He's now past the really critical stage, so you can start to relax a little and just focus on getting his appetite back to normal. Remember he's had some pretty major abdominal surgery, so his tummy may still be a little tender when he eats solid foods. As long as he's drinking well, and everything that goes in the top end comes out the back end looking normal, you should be fine... T.

^^ this... *grin* T.

May I ask why you didn't want to put your head under the water? Just think of the great shots you'd get if you were submerged fully... T.

How could anyone resist that face? I'd be asking for cuddles too... T.

Awesome pics huga... look at Sid's spotty butt... lol! T.
