Pack plenty of BBQ chicken

Will bring both of mine this time I think

Yup - the 2nd of May!!

I shall make sure it is placed at the back of the table - away from hungry doggies - or else I shall set Pele to guard it Thanks for the offer of help too

I don't think either of you need to worry - Earl will probably eat his crate and then run amuck *LOL*

I am sure Pele will be willing to supervise and ensure it all gets eaten Secret Kei - I have a bloodhound - I am going to need several towels The trip there should be fun with all that food packed up in the boot anf the dog in the back seat - he may well chew his way through the seat to get to it Note to self - wear clothes that don't show drool

OK - lunch plans are Zucchini slice (made by my mother inlaw - vegetarian and very yummy) – Salads - both pre packed (potato / pasta / coleslaw) and mixed greens eg cucumber / lettuce / tomatoes / capsicum / cheese / carrot sticks Chicken - BBQed - cut up into sections Pies / pasties / vegetarian pastries Bread rolls Cold meat Morning tea – Bakers Delight – fruit platter - crackers and dips Plus tea / coffee / spring water Does this sound OK to everyone - i am open to suggestions

Thanks to all who have got back to me - things are progressing pretty smoothly

Here's the link http://www.dolforums.com.au/index.php?showtopic=173384 Would love to meet you and your doggie ;) What - my angelic little puppy dog Yogi Earl

What great photos - glad you found the cord to upload them Today was excellent - Earl had a nap on the way home so he obviously had a busy time :D

I have heard good things about Mark Singer

It is such a sad story - and seeing the pups from Vic on this unregistered breeders site made me very sad. As a new bloodhound owner I am just learning about the breed but my respect for those of you who breed is immense - I love the fact I can look at Earls pedigree and talk to Centitout about the dogs in it - that knowledge is so valuable and I feel much more confident with Earl knowing I have her backup.

My mum is here at the moment and we have told her that if she is home and either OH or myself isn't home then the dogs are to stay outside - they would be outside anyway as thats where they are when we aren't home but she - much as she loves dogs - is just too small and frail to have our 41 kg bloodhound pup inside with her - especially as he is only 6 months old and can be very stubborn. I know that if I wasn't strict about this then she would be too soft and let them inside When my family come to visit the dogs life goes on as normal (my sister isn't too much of a dog lover but - hey - she puts up with them)- but none of them have small children and the dogs sleep in our room at night

Hunterhound - can I swap one of my existing children instead Centitout - if I can help in any way with your predicament at the moment let me know - don't know what I could do but if you think of anything

Run free Spanner - be free from pain and happy once more Poor boy - at least - as you said - he had a caring hand on him to help him as he went

Came in for an update - what a damn shame about this boy - i totally understand the concern with agression - they are such large and powerful dogs that this would be a real concern. Centitout - well done for taking the time and caring enough to do what is best for all - it is sad that it sounds like this boy is one who can't be helped but thank goodness he went to you and not some inexperienced owner - that could have been a tragedy in the making onstillnflash - well done to you too for putting in the time and effort to make sure this boy got the best chance possible

If people are bringing own lunch but would like tea / coffee / morning tea on the day then that is fine - is a $5 contribution OK?

I'm in luuuuvvvvvvvv - you guys are making my next dog soooooooooooo hard to choose :D - lucky i don't need to worry about that for a looooong time :cool:

I feed both of mine twice a day - one is a large breed pup so is actually still on 3 feeds a day - also a bloat precaution - the other is almost 2 and gets 2 meals a day - one am and one pm

Will call on you if I need help ness - you can count on that

Absolutely Kynan

Thanks Jaxx'sBuddy - have sent account info in a PM - hope it works - first time I have done this

OK - will PM those we know with bank account details

If you could please ness - I don't have email info for them - or else if you forward me the email info (or list of who the DOL people are) I can send out the bank account info

Kudos - a well deserved award for some very talented (and incredibly modest) people - Well done
