Your pup looks gorgeous...reminds me of my boy when I first got him. We live up in the heat although its not too hot now summers over. Gus copes quite well and his coat is very thick, he doesn't particularly like being brushed but I always try and get his thick undercoat out in the summer. They usually find a cool spot to sleep, tiles in the bathroom is his favourite spot in summer.

Kirty, have just seen this....hugs to you and always remember you gave Rex much love for his final time on this earth. RIP boy You did a wonderful thing to help him

All safe here...can help with any dogs if needed ;)

I'm in Hervey Bay, dont know even if anyone can get through Maryborough atm but can take dogs if need be. eta to add ph number 0458483293

Why is no one helping these peoples pets??????????? I just dont get it!!!!!!!! There must be something we can do to help these animals!!!!!!! Sounds like it may be too late for the ones from Condamine but what about the other areas they are evacuating....whats happening to their pets???????

I saw that on the news tonight too.....devastating!!!!!!!!!! There's no way that anyone would make me go anywhere and leave the dogs behind..........no way in hell!!!!!! Does anyone know if any of the flood victims need any help with their pets till they get their homes back? Is it PACERS that help with this kind of thing? I could probably squeeze a couple in here if needed.

You could try Akela*2007 for the Mal. She was very helpful with saving one from W Wyalong pound. She's in NSW but may know of rescue in Qld.

Hugs to you Yaps I think the only thing that will heal your pain just a little is time. I lost a daughter to suicide 4 years ago and its definately true what they say about "time being the greatest healer". Whether its grief for another human or beloved pet...its still a grieving process you have to go through and only time will take that pain away little by little.

I have 4 large breed residents and usually another large breed foster or boarder (currently have sons rotti for a month or two ) Food isn't too bad, I get huge bags of biscuits and mix either chicken mince or frames with it. Also brisket bones....have a cheap butcher so buy in bulk. Vet bills...have been fortunate so far (touch wood ), but have insurance for my four so hopefully will be covered if I need it. I'm on acreage with 2 dams so plenty of exercise and swimming (for the two that like water), before I moved here I used to walk all four along the beach daily, two either side. Sleeping....they have single bed size mattresses on the floor, sometimes they'll share but quite often they prefer the wood or tiles as the weather's getting warmer. Two might hop on the bed but the others dont seem interested (which is good as there wouldn't be room for me,lol)

LOL, no Monah doesn't go in the rescue thread...she might with her eyes closed :rolleyes: You go tomorrow Deb and say your bit...this group sounds like their hearts in the right place but are they doing the right thing?? Most important is are they desexing before these dogs are available for adoption...no good saying but the adopters have said they will desex...people cant be trusted!!!!!!!and so the cycle continues with more unwanted dogs in pounds!!!!! But you know all this already...........good luck for tomorrow and keep me posted. Will get you in rescue thread yet,lol

Mine are all inside/outside, usually leave door open so they can come and go as they please. Door gets locked at night though, have to always step over sleeping bodies if I get up to the loo,lol Dont take them out walking, they gets lots of exercise and obedience training round propetry and swims in the dam. I dont see the point of having dogs if they're not allowed in. You're their pack leader and they want to be with you so why leave them outside away from you? (just dont get why some people do this )

Sending more hugs What a nightmare for you...have been on tenterhooks reading this thread!! C'mon Chase...you can pull through!!!!!!!!!!!

Healing thoughts coming from here too Kaffy. Sending big hugs too Always a nightmare when you dont know whats wrong.

Yep..Scottish Thats why he's a Scottish Deerhound,lol. Absolutely gorgeous!!

Hoping all is ok julz.....where are you??

A vet I went to when my gsd was 7 months old rung me while he was under anaesthetic having x rays, saying I should pts now because there's no way this dog will be able to walk past 12 months old! I sent xrays to a specialist in Sydney who said there was nothing wrong with his hips. He's now 4 and walks and runs just fine!! I feel bad for the poor unsuspecting owner who gets told these things and believes it just because its a vet....they should know ,right??

Absolutely gorgeous pics K9, every single one of them!! I do hope Jack wins...he certainly deserves to. Not sure how it all works, do we get to vote?

Love the name SC! Good choice!!

LOL..she does not having shocking manners Deb, she just being a Viz!!

Wow !! what a lovely looking boy

Wel I thought it was a brilliant programme...and what he said about some breeds and their health problems is so true.

From memory was $156 including consultation for a Great Dane. A lot of the sniffing and licking is learned behaviour. That's a good price Sway...I paid $195 for the implant which I had to prepay before ordering (they dont get much call for it apparently )so with consult it cost $245

Good luck for today....hope you catch the little bugger

Knew you'd end up taking him when you first posted Looking forward to some lovely updates of his antics....just love your stories!!!!

Healing thoughts coming from here too. Hugs for Yogi and for you too Robbi
