Puggies :p

Thanks for the ideas ;) Think OH has gone in to work tonight to puzzle it out too ;)

Fence is a good idea - he doesn't tend to worry too much about that area so it might be enough to put him off ;)

The gorgeous boy in the first pic is Brock Was a lovely meet - pity Earl missed it ;) But there is always next time - great pics ;)

Ok - following on from my last post about Earl eating the river stones I would like to ask DOLers advice about what to replace them with - the vet suggested mulch or bark chips? The area is along the fence behind the retaining wall - it was really muddy before and the kelpie does zoomies along the fence after the local possum Piccies show where the stones are now - this is what we need to replace Thanks to those who made suggestions in the other thread ;)

I know - they are silly creatures - and apparently he won't link eating the stone with getting sick so will just go back and do it again The stones are around the edge of the yard and have the plastic under them so we were looking for something to stop them from doing zoomies along the fence line - thought the river stones would be ok ;) Will take ideas on board but will definitely be getting rid of the river stones ;)

As those of you who know Earl already know he has been a bit curious about the river stones we have had put in our back yard - well - he threw up a small one this morning but just wasn't quite his normal exuberant self and would not touch food - even cheese - so I knew something was wrong . Sure enough - on the xray - very clearly can be seen a 4cm riverstone in the first part of his intestine. The vet operated and he is fine but - what a scare - it is a long weekend here in SA this weekend so thank goodness the 24 hour vet is just around the corner - and also thank goodness for pet insurance - quote for treatment etc is between $1800 and $2200 - and he will be kept in till Tuesday mroning so it may well go up. Our task over the next few days is now to move all of the river stones and replace them with bark chips or similar as the vet said that she has seen some dogs 3 or 4 times over for this sort of thing Thank you to all of the Adelaide DOLers at the meet this afternoon - it was nice to be with people who understood how I was feeling and how worried I was

Drinks would be great - Shannon and I will bring plates, snags, bread and sauce Looks like a nice day for it too :D

About 1.00 ish

to you and your dogs - fingers crossed for a miracle for you

Hugs and drooly kisses for Nandi

Note to self - bring several drool towels!!!

Ralphie is a rescue that Miss Squish had out - he had his Adopt ME bandana on and was tring to charm potential owners. He is apparently Shar PEi x wolfhound Earl says thank you - he thinks he is pretty handsome too

- He just kind of melts - doesn't he

Pugs!!!! Earl will love that (OK - as will I - I have a soft spot for the puggies )

Done!! Love the photo

Good boy Jake - Run free now and watch from the Bridge

He was lovely - and he settled really nicely too different dog by the end of the day after his nutter moments on the beach

There were a few idiots down there yesterday and as for the police dog thing - well then why weren't they fining people who obviously were not meeting that high standard? EFS and to add - Jed - that is a brilliant story

i liked that Ranger - he luuuuved Earl I agree with giving them some feedback - it's a great opportunity that really wasn't made the most of - off to see the photos

Good response to an absolute tool

Great day at the beach - except for the blo**dy sunburn

bloodhounds I swear the kelpie makes more noise than the bloodhound - and the only time he makes noise is when he is barking at her!! ETA - and he was one of the easiest dogs to house train contrary to the expected 4 - 6 months on consistent crate training

Our next meet is this Sunday coming up so I thought it was time to get a thread going about it Same place - same time I will bring snags, bread and sauce

Always knew there was a use for it - there had to be a reason they produce so bl**dy much of it!!
