I can't get my head around your post, are you an anti-refugee-white-supremacist-type-person or just being sarcastic/cynical?

whew!

This may be helpful for the scammed buyer's of puppies. https://www.scamwatch.gov.au/news/victims-scammed-via-western-union-may-get-refund Victims scammed via Western Union may get refund 23 January 2018 The ACCC’s Scamwatch is urging all Australians who lost money to a scammer through Western Union from 2004 to 2017 to take action by 12 February to try to get it back. Western Union has agreed to pay a penalty of US$586 million to the United States’ Department of Justice (DOJ) after admitting to aiding and abetting wire fraud. The DOJ is using this penalty to provide refunds to eligible people worldwide who were tricked into paying scammers via Western Union. Australian consumers can use an online form or apply by post to have the money they lost refunded by the DOJ. As this is a US-based action, the ACCC is unable to make claims on a consumer’s behalf or assist consumers with their claims “Scamwatch hears heartbreaking stories on a daily basis from Australians who have lost money to scammers by wiring funds through Western Union. Over $5 million is reported lost each year to these scams but this is just the tip of the iceberg as many victims don’t contact us,” ACCC Acting Chair Michael Schaper said. “The sad reality is that in most cases, once you have fallen victim to a scammer, the money is gone – and there’s nothing you can do to get it back. For people who have wired money via Western Union from 2004 until 2017, this may be your chance to recover some of it. There are no guarantees but we strongly encourage you to try by 12 February.” Scamwatch says scammers often promise prizes, loans, jobs, discounted products and other financial rewards in exchange for sending money upfront through untraceable wire transfers. They also pretend to be family members in urgent need of cash, or law enforcement officers demanding payment for fines, or countless other excuses, but no one ever receives the cash, prizes or services they were promised by scammers. For further information, visit the US Department of Justice website www.WesternUnionRemission.com for updates and a detailed list of frequently asked questions. More information: All wire transfers made through Western Union within and outside of the United States between 1 January 2004 and 19 January 2017 may be eligible for remission. Australian consumers can submit a claim to the US DOJ either online or by post until 12 February 2018.. Apply online here: Western Union remission claim form. To apply by post, download the claims form and post to “United States vs the Western Union Company, PO Box 404028, Louisville, KY 40233-4028”. This court ruling followed joint investigations by the United States' (US) Federal Trade Commission, the US Department of Justice (DOJ), and the US Postal Inspection Service.

I would have thought that a comfy car trip with the little one's in harnesses, on the back seat, lying on their soft pillows, with frequent pit-stops would not be an issue for dogs travelling interstate. When it all boils down it's still a Ride In The Car and most dogs love their rides

It's tough isn't it Rascal. It's Claudia's final gift you are giving her As WM says; there are some special dogs in dog-heaven that will show her the ropes. Thinking of you, B

Yep, I reckon we need daily updates on the little takker. He must be feeling better already

I saw the video on ABC news on-line and one of the things that bothered me was the woman who was with the other dog didn't do anything AT ALL! she just carried on as if it wasn't happening Says something about their home-life methinks. I would like to call them bad names

the scammers are out in droves again so it's an excellent idea to visit your breeder first and check their details as Airedaler suggested http://www.scamnet.wa.gov.au/scamnet/Scam_types-Buying_or_selling-Online_shopping_scams-Facebook_puppy_scams.htm this is a good site and it may be worth contacting them https://www.frenchiesaustralia.com/spot-a-scam and this FB group, even though it's USA it has some good tips: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1539231249684807/about/

Check the MDBA page to see if your breeder is there http://mdba.net.au/directory/puppies-for-sale.html And here is their contact page, perhaps phone on Monday have have a chat https://www.mdba.net.au/contact-us.html I am pretty sure Dogz member Steve is still involved

yerrsss ok, but look at those faces sigh...

O Man! no, I don't need any more dogs stop looking at them NOW

yes, how stupid is that 52% eeeek imagine what that'd do to a dog's kidneys

Thanks for that Tassie, it is the exact page I was looking for Guaranteed Analysis Crude Protein 28% (min) Crude Fat 18% (min) Crude Fibre 2% (max) Crude Ash 9% (max) Calcium (Ca) 2% (max) Phosphorous (P) 1.20% (max) Moisture 10% (max) ME 3750 Kcal/kg

Yes, photos are the go, copy them into unusual places on your computer that way they pop up when you're looking for something else, it's sad but lovely at the same time. I found a couple of photos of Penny and Mac the other day in a folder marked Garden Pest Info (subfolder 'Rats') Thinking of you and Jeune. Dog-oldness and cancer is the pits!

I looked on-line at this food and it appears to have 52% protein; is that rather high? I feed dry infrequently, it's usually when I have forgotten to get their frozen meat and vegie slops out of the freezer https://blackhawkpetcare.com/au/our-products/grain-free/tasmanian-sustainably-fished-salmon/ I can't seem to find the exact ingredients breakdown and fat% Zara has been treated for a bacterial infection in her urine and tiny struvite crystals were also present so I reckon I need to be careful with her diet. Henry is a piggy and puts on weight quickly so fat content is important

can you try Bravecto or Nexguard, one or three months coverage (depending on which one you get) in each chewy

does your pal Aizaz work in the insurance industry?

Ages back the vet put Penny, my old Westie on Zantac syrup for her sore tum, it wasn't overly cheap and I asked my doctor about it so he wrote me out a script for a 300ml bottle (my doctor has a dog, we talk about dogs) I can't remember what Penny's dosage was but it was a minuscule amount and would have lasted her 'till she was 45 but she passed away before even a smidgen of the contents was used. Anyway, perhaps get a script from your doctor Juice, as unfortunatel,y you can't buy it over the counter at a chemists, at least it'll save you some money

Yes, you do know: Saffy who had cancer in her sinus' was still cheerful until one evening, she had her tea and hopped up on the sofa, she sat there and then put her head down and just rested the tip of her nose on the cushions, it was obvious she had the most awful headache. I took her to the waterfront on the way to her vet the next morning, we walked along the beach and she barked at a bin-chicken and a really fat Cavalier, she had a good time. When we hopped in the car she put her nose on the seat again so then i was doubly sure. In my arms she gently went to a happier place as her favourite vet and nurse stuffed her full of liver treats. It just breaks your heart but it's the last good thing we can do for them.

and one more

Found them... we pulled the top part off an old stroller and Penny sat on her comfy cushion in the parcel-rack. We removed the handles and bolted on the handle of an old carpet sweeper

I think I found that old topic Ming and SM, I had posted in it but used photobucket so the photos have gone to photobucket heaven, I'll hunt up the photos of Penny's trolley and post
