Bloody good label Dogbesotted, kinda choked me up it did.

Hahahaha...I love that owls feet Greytmate edited 'cos I can't spel!

That square is really beautiful Anna....mine were just little appliqué Westies and some Westie print material and even then my friend Lynn did the appliqué work...I just bought the material and found the Westie patterns :p I am really a gardener (so when Jed gets back to her home maybe I can send her some be-happy-flowering-plants) Your embroidery is great!

And you can flash your ring Bl**dy will too! I will flash it and the jools in it will blind everyones eyes

Hey Jed, hope you are feeling a bit better especially since those few awful miserable days have passed and the sun is out, it's pretty warm here as long as we are out of the way of that sneaky cold breeze. Took the little guys to the off-leash park for so they could pee and sniff. Mac rolled in greeny-coloured poop , so he had a rinse under the tap and then a few! shampoos at home, he is so white and shiny (and soft, bummer!) he gives us all a fright. When you are feeling more betterer you can come over for a cuppa.

'Mornin' Jed, hope your burns and graft sites aren't too painful this cold and cloudy morning. Pity the Westies are desexed hummmmm.....ChiChi x Westie BIG SELLERS I have heard Chiwee pups anyone?

+2 x3 x 4 :D X5 x6 Well done Chewy, you are full of great ideas! x7...good idea Chewy

http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2010/06/26/2937984.htm The explosives detection dog killed by a roadside bomb in Afghanistan this month, has been honoured at a memorial service in South Australia. Herbie and Sappers Darren Smith and Jacob Moerland were killed by a roadside bomb in Afghanistan last Monday. Hundreds of dogs and their owners gathered at the war dog shrine on the banks of the River Murray in Goolwa to remember Herbie, who died along with his handler and Sapper Jacob Moerland. Barry Willoughby from the Army Museum says the bond between handler and a dog in war is quiet unique. "They live together day and night, they work together very hard, long hours, they feed together, eat together, and so it's really your best friend," he said. "The shrine was built a few years ago to pay tribute to all service dogs." Herbie is the fifth dog to die in Afghanistan since the war began. Sapper Darren Smith Herbie at the Multinational Base at Tarin Kowt, Afghanistan. (Department of Defence)

Hahaha, they are buggers of things aren't they!...it looks as if the garden has been hit by aerial bombing by very small B52's overnight. Good morning Jed, good to hear about your shoes ...if you are interested..Russell Island does houses that are reasonable rent.

I like bandiccots, bandicoots are my friends (and yes I know they carry ticks) but they are such funny fussy little blokes and visit the garden each night. There is so many blocks being cleared here they have to find their tucker somewhere and it appears to be under our garden mulch. Good morning to you Jed, hope your pain is easier today.

Hey Jed, and Hey Sitting-Room-People-and-Dogs, thought you guys would like a lunch-time snack so bought in a big dish of macaroni cheese, paper plates and a heap of those irritating plastic forks...(you get a metal fork Jed..not so bendy) make sure those Rotties, Wippets and Cavvies don't get any, fartin' things.

Saw the clip on the news.....that is one happy dog ;)

Ha, Magnus, you were such a dag. I laughed at the stuff he got up to in your tribute to him Jed. Now I can't find my hanky...it's around here somewhere....stop looking...found it, Penny was lying on it, must be the dog hair that is making me sniffly.

Hi Anne, I can't help much with your question BUT I have included a link to some interesting info on diet/epilepsy http://dogtorj.tripod.com/index.html if you scroll down there is more info on this link http://dogtorj.tripod.com/id21.html perhaps it may be of help.

Hi Jed, just popping into the sitting room with a few of bottles of Cab Sav (on special $3.99!) and a heap of glasses for everyone, it'd be good if someone can clear a path to the table, there appears to be a heap of Cavies, GSD's,Whippets and Rotties all just lying around fartin'....who has been feeding them cheese? Enjoy the red Jed.

'Mornin' Jed, it's best you are out of the hospital enviroment, much better for you health and wellbeing in the long run. I have been thinking of a way I can say how sorry I am that your heart has a big hole that used to be filled with Meg, Magnus, Paris and the puppies...can't think of any words that don't sound trite. So...... Hugs to you Jed.

I am at Russell Island and get to Capalaba every week or two...I didn't know they existed. I have just emailed them to ask if they supply (or can get) turkey mince. I see they do have chicken mince but the local butcher here does make me up mince from chicken frames which are ok for Penny as she doesn't have much in the way of teeth and is allergic to any red meat. Turkey mince is a bit better though as it has less fat. Thanks for your question Jacquilee81...at least we can all make use of it!

'Mornin' Jed, are you feeling a tad better this morning? Lovely here at the moment, warm and the sun is sparkley on the trees and water (and on the windows...eeeeek, they need cleaning!) Hi Waiting-Room-Waiting-People...coffee smells good as usual

I was stopped at an intersection last week and a woman was traveling from my left, with her right indicator on, intending to turn into the street I was in, She was talking on her mobile and had a SWF standing on her lap and leaning out the window. Idiot!

And it's more expensive than my vet was Yep Sandra777, just found that out eeeeeek x 2 Hi ♥JJ, I had my new 7 y/o female Westie desexed at Koala Park Vets at Victoria Point, it cost me $199.50 so I was pretty happy with that. They price by dog size.

Thanks MrsD, I will look into that...goes off to Google Dogs Queensland

Thanks for that...the next Moreton Bay microchipping day is in October so I will have to pencil this into my busy social calendar. I also phoned the Brisbane Council and they have microchipping days at their pound on Wednesdays (by appointment!) They charge $62.50 eeeeek, Our vet only charges $45....I am a bit of a tight ar*e though

Hi DOLers, apart from vets, is there any person/society/group that does cheaper microchipping? I know that in Gympie the RSPCA and local vets and Council run a $25 (or thereabouts) microchipping day every 6 months or so, it is usually held in conjunction with a pet show along with pet food/suppliers sponsors. Does anyone know if the same sort of service is held near Brisbane?

Hahahaha...I saw that as well Mother Moocher, I thought 'those hands could do with a good gob of aloe vera and scarless healer cream' (medical staff may not approve tho' ) Good morning Jed, pop into the waiting room and help scoff that pile of toast and these.....

Good to hear from you Jed. We all know the sorrow of losing one of our mates, but to lose so many is just too much. Be sure that our thoughts are with you Jed and perhaps help to mend that big hole in your heart that their passing has left. Hugs to you.
