So - if PR were interested in attending your training courses, would you be amenable to maybe organising something here in Sydney sometime soonish? T.

Yeah - but if it does, it won't make the paper... T.

Actually I think it says "thanks for making the nice soft bed mum"... *grin* T.

Not affiliated with PR at all... T.

How about the testing that is done at DAS - is that by volunteers? The info that testing gives is extremely well laid out and seems to be a good guideline for most of us to follow when we are looking at dogs from there. Has anyone got a copy of how the DAS testing works, and how to do it? It may be a viable alternative to a test that does seem designed to make certain types of dogs fail more often than not. T.

Has anyone else noticed where he's located? T.

Zinc was gorgeous... and she enjoyed seeing her sister again... bumping noses and kissy face... *grin* Zinc is so much smaller than the others right now, but I'm willing to bet she'll catch up soon enough... well done Plan B for the excellent care to get her to a point where she has an awesome chance at a new and long life. T.

I'll be looking for you Wazzat... now, how will I find you and your dogs... lol! T.

Awww... look at the Roo-bear in her new and improved crate... love the snuggly beddies and pillow... *grin* T.

Were they the extremely timid and snappy Dingo X pups Nic? Feel free to PM me with what happened - I actually stuck my hand up to check them out with a view to fostering, but was told that they already had rescue... T.

Is this a follow on from this thread? http://www.dolforums.com.au/topic/247058-are-there-any-solicitors-in-nsw-for-dogs/ How about you detail what happened to start you on your current crusade (don't put the vet clinic name in here), and we may be able to help you with your next step towards some resolution. People are not going to name vets and describe any substandard care on a public internet forum - apart from being against forum rules, it's also libellous/defamatory and people could be sued. T.

Yep - being discussed in Rescue... http://www.dolforums.com.au/topic/247417-what-is-the-story-with-the-new-temperament-assessments-at-blacktown-pound/ T.

Comes down to cost huntrox... some pounds believe that people buying dogs from them won't pay a higher price that includes desexing... and/or there may not be a vet local to the pound that will offer reduced rate desexing for the poundies (to keep costs down)... T.

The furbabies met their sister yesterday... We were at the vet doing a weigh-in, and a lovely young lady came in with a pup to have vaccs and chip inserted. As we were talking it transpired that her pup was one of the same litter as ours! She was gorgeous - and her foster carer was absolutely lovely. Her pup got to do kissy face with Tori, and it was so cute to see them appear to actually remember each other. Anyways - our 4 chunkers are the following weights... Tiger - 6.3 kg Toby - 6.7 kg Tori - 6.7 kg Tango - 7.2 kg They are being desexed this week, and should be ready for adoption from next weekend... T.

Kneejerk reaction to certain groups taking out dogs of suspect temperament maybe? T.

I love the mum and Roo photos... they really do show the bond you have with her - despite all of the frustrations she has put you through. She's a very special girl... and I agree, she's become part of the DOL "family" via this thread. Please keep the photos coming - Roo is gorgeous! T.

Ummm - you usually get the back of my scone if I'm the poor bunny doing the wrangling while someone else takes the photos... some dogs/pups like to get snuggly... *grin* I hate Facebook with a passion! It's full of really crazy people who have some weird idea that I might care what they are doing at every moment of the day... news flash... I don't... lol! If I want to communicate properly with someone I know, I'll pick up the phone... T.

I'll agree with that summation behluka. I've met some of the nicest and inspiring people in rescue - and I've also met some of the nastiest backstabbing bitches/bastards - and some just downright crazy people as well. I tend to try to stay well clear of the latter two groups though... *grin* T.

Awww... aren't they little chubbers? Their eyes will be opening soon... and then it will be fun... mum won't be able to hide from them... lol! You know, the coolest age for pups is about 3.5 to 4 weeks, when they start getting really curious about their surroundings. Don't forget to give them a few toys to beat up around then, and then sit back and watch the fun. Think photo opportunity... *grin* Just out of curiosity, what was their date of birth? T.

Well said behluka... rescue can be a minefield of rumour and accusation without facts... as though some people are looking at the rescue "game" as some sort of competition... I find it depressing at times that more of us don't work WITH each other more often. I'm always happy to help out other rescues when I can... and have been helped by others as well... and that's what it SHOULD be about IMHO - we ARE all looking for the best outcomes for the animals we all have in care, aren't we? T.

Two wrongs don't make a right. You can't break the law to "prove" that someone else is doing so... We have specific groups (RSPCA and AWL) who have all of the correct powers to enter a property and inspect the premises... and they need to be the ones doing it - not crazy zealots with an axe to grind. T.

You better believe she's darned cute! And she has a fan club right here... regardless of her issues and whether or not they can be fixed (fingers crossed they can) T.

Well said Nekh! T.

Run free sweet boy! T.
