I reckon to give it to Jed first, then post the photies, what do the rest of you fat-quarter-people think?

You could contact Nicestman77 http://www.dolforums.com.au/index.php?showuser=8666 I think that he has some reconditioned/rebuilt clippers for sale, He is so helpful. If you email him give him your phone number and he will call you via skype.

I hose mine off with luke-warm water afterwards, mostly we go to the sandy part of the beach but there is also mangroves and muddy sand that they like to roll in, I let them as the just LOVE it takes ab it of brushing and hosing to get the sand/dirt out though (my guys never really are WHITE!)

I got Penny & Mac from the daughters of the woman who rescued them from BYB's, tragically the rescue-woman was killed in a car accident. The daughters tried to keep these two (along with other dogs) that their mother had given homes to. Due to work commitments they really needed to re-home P & M, so I was lucky enough to get them. I reckon that when we get dogs from other people that have trouble managing to keep them, that we hold them in trust for those previous owners and to give them special care and attention....sort-of the attitude that we are very lucky to have the chance to own them. I think that the new owners of Ollie, Puggerup, will treat him 'special' as they would not have been able to have him unless you have made this (correct) decision. Hope this makes sense

I saw that as well Hollee (I think it is a repeat as I can remember seeing it on, maybe, ABC2 before)...anyway, I loved that cat who thought those new feet were pretty good to help him jump up on those rolls of toilet paper!, and that 'shoe' that poor dog was clumping around on...he didn't mind tho'

Yep Persephone, I hope so too...that one just about to go over is gonna get caught on the barbs for sure.

This may help (I give it to my dog who was prone to kidney stones before I got her) http://www.naturalmedicinalherbs.net/herbs...of-the-wall.php If you want some little plants and don't live in WA or Tassie I will post you some if you will pay the postage.

I know MM...the poor man who had to get his dog euthanased and the other poor buggers who had to leave their pets and the farmers seeing their stock washed away, it is truly heartbreaking.... http://www.couriermail.com.au/news/flood-v...6-1225979879229

When we were out walking the other day, Daisy my little Westie stopped and ate some long coarse-looking grass growing in the vacant block we cross that is next door to home...that was ok, but a minute or two later she was sneezing and running round in circles and carrying on like a pork chop, I calmed her down, then she had this gi-normus sneeze and this 15 cm (or thereabouts) blade of grass shot out of one nostril...gave me a bit of a fright! Anyhow, I pulled the rest of it out and she thought I had saved her life and did zoomies up and down the driveway when we got home.

I didn't take the piccie LoveLea, some better-camera-photo-taking person (than me) who lives at Cunnamulla or near the Condamine River took that.

Had to post this photo...that is one happy dog! http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2010/12/29/3102932.htm

here is the winner... http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/8567343.stm and some piccies here.... http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/8567388.stm

How stupid are they! no-one in their right mind would even think of mugging anyone with a German Shepherd in tow! Tools

OMG I REALLY DO want one of these, I love those middle toes. No! now I think of it I will have two so I can breed them, I may also cross them with a Westie Pity they look like white hairy piglets

Nah! Deshonko can get them out in a couple of days. I would like to see the result of this "mating" though This is what they will look like MM cute aye!

Hey Boronia, How are the husbands? Here they are... -----> they're still around (and still going strong as you can see!)

The result of this will be too late for Christmas unfortunately...maybe suitable as a pet shop promotion for Easter can you send this one by courier? I have always wanted a jumping-dog

I came across this site on ebay, they have some wonderful old postcards and prints of heaps and heaps of different dogs. I will put in the link (hope I'm not breaking a rule here..let me know if am) http://stores.ebay.com.au/K9-KARDS (love the Hungarian Vizsla's man's hat!)

Real cute!! Enjoy! YouTube - Animals of YouTube sing "Deck the Halls" edited to put in the link

Interesting photos Felix...here are a couple more...photos taken from old postcards showing a white Scottish Terrier, the second photo shows a Wheaten (they ALL look pretty feral dogs, check out all those black beady eyes in the first photo )

I sometimes get a saved search in the collector/swap card category (featuring Westies ) from ebay, I just received this email with an notification of a new listing....ARE THE DOGS ON THE TV DOING WHAT I THINK THEY'RE DOING ;) , is it a dogs R18+ (or the equivalent in doggie-years) Blue movie? http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...ME:B:SS:AU:1123 I think this is hilarious...they are all watching the TV so closely!

Thanks Tivins for the http://www.amscq.com.au/referrals.html link, I emailed her with it. I haven't heard anything back or seen any updates on Freecycle yet. To pewithers...thank you

You have a point Souff & JulesP, I think the reason I was shocked is that the ad was on the 'Freecycle' site which is for people to give away items that they think may be useful to others, rather than take them to the dump.
