There is a petition on Change.org about it at the moment. I have an idea it is against forum rules to post the petition link but if you type 'change.org Westfield: No longer permit pet store retailers to sell live animals' into your search-bar it should take you to the page

There is a facebook page with this Cocker https://www.facebook...anielsAustralia Harry has very smiley teeth! :) Introducing Harry! Master Harry is a 2 year old typical, bouncy Cocker. He has loads of energy to burn so would suit an active family with older (teenage) children. He would also do well with another very active dog who also has energy to burn, lol. Harry has special needs, our vet believes he has had a brain injury, most likely from a head trauma Because of this, he needs a confident, firm but loving owner to help calm him down when he gets overexcited. Harry is desexed, vaccinated and microchipped. He is in QLD. His adoption fee is $400. Support will be provided during his settling in period. http://www.petrescue.com.au/listings/284283

A friend of mine emailed me the link to a site called Bidstart--> http://postcards.bid...s-/12130/c.html I am looking at the dog postcards & real photographs section and it has some interesting old photos/cards, some of sled dogs, GSD's and a 1903 postcard of a girl and pug http://postcards.bid...2059102/a.html.

News.com (aka never-let-the-truth-get-in-the-way-of-a-good-story) have a slightly different story http://www.news.com....x-1226870351271 You can't leave me like this: dog attack victim Angela's plea to owner by: richard noone April 01, 2014 12:00AM Angela of Kellyville was attacked by two dogs while on her morning jog. Source: News Corp Australia THE mauling by two dobermans on leads was horrifying enough but it was the callous action of their owner and passers-by that disgusted this dog attack victim. The two brutes had just ripped into Angela's head, blood was pouring down her face and she was terrified. She suffered wounds which would require emergency surgery, 15 stitches in her right eye and uncertainty about her eyesight. All this for simply taking a jog through the Bernie Mullane Reserve at Kellyville at 6.30am last Monday. After the attack the man gave her his T-shirt to hold against her eye. Then he completed what can only be described as a dog act. He turned to the woman who had just been brutally mauled by his two dogs and told her "I've got to go". This despite Angela's pleas for him to stay until she got help. "I said 'You can't leave me here like this'," Angela, who asked not to have her last name used, said. Dog attack victim Angela. Source: Supplied Angela had pleaded with the dogs' owner. Source: Supplied "He told me that his dogs were really friendly and he had two young children." Then he fled — a decision which has made him the No.1 target of the Hills Shire Council, which has warned the man now faces fines of $11,000 to $77,000 and potentially jail. But if all this was not bad enough, what happened next was almost as shameful. With the blood-covered T-shirt pressed to her right eye and puncture wounds to her left cheek and chin — which later needed a further three stitches — Angela said not a single person came to her aid as she made the lonely walk back to her car. "I was in a lot of pain," she said. "I passed four or five people and not one person stopped to ask if I was OK. "I had this T-shirt over my eye and I had blood all over my face but no one stopped, which I think is pretty appalling." The Bernie Mullane Sports Complex, Kellyville. Source: News Corp Australia Council community safety and compliance manager Charles Meader said the council would do everything it could to find the dogs and their owner. "People shouldn't take dogs out in public if they are not confident they will be able to restrain them at all times," he said. "The injuries this woman suffered were very serious.'' Angela said the dogs looked like dobermans but were a pure brown colour. "Surely someone would have noticed a man with no T-shirt on walking two large dogs 2km out of the park back to his house last Monday," she said. The owner was described as about 180cm tall, of average build with collar-length hair and was wearing grey shorts. Anyone with any information should call 02-9843 0555.

Hahaha, I reckon they are listening quietly while she is telling them the story of 'Penny the Beach Westie'

She is a sweetie! Does she have some irritation around her left eye Keetamouse?

Interesting video from New.com http://www.news.com....w-dogs-makeover Article says: We gave seven dogs from Monika's Rescues a fighting chance of finding a loving home by shooting their portraits in our studio. The results were stunning and touching images that will change the way you look at dogs from the pound.

Are there any Dolers here who are giving Carbimazole 5mg to their dog to treat overactive thyroid? I have some spare if you would like them. There are human tablets so if there is a DOL-human who would also like them... eta...tablets are free, just pay for the postage

Little gorilla ❤ video in this link--> http://www.theguardi...c-section-birth Baby gorilla undergoes operation after emergency C-section birth • Vets and human doctors treat collapsed lung • 2kg female gorilla born at San Diego zoo on Wednesday Associated Press in San Diego theguardian.com, Sunday 16 March 2014 01.54 AEST Gorilla is delivered by C-section. Veterinarians at the San Diego zoo have performed an operation on a newborn gorilla that was delivered by caesarean section. The zoo says the 4.6lb (2kg) female was born on Wednesday but seemed to have breathing problems. On Friday morning, a team fixed a collapsed lung that probably occurred during delivery. The medical team included vets and two doctors who usually work on humans: a neonatal specialist and an anaesthetist. Neonatologist Dawn Reeves said the patient was different from human babies because, among other things, she can grab with both her hands and her feet. The gorilla will be monitored around the clock as she recovers. The mother gorilla, named Imani, had never given birth. The zoo says an emergency C-section was performed because she was in distress after going into labour.

O Maeby, I am so sorry to hear about Grover, what a shock. I always read your posts as I liked to hear about him...a fantastic happy-hearted little dog. My condolences to you. And Grover....may you have the most wonderful beaches to run and explore in Dog Heaven

Chinderah is so pretty, I bought my electric bike from a happy woman at the caravan park office :D

In the ABC news http://www.abc.net.a...-kennel/5321744 the reporter has said.... A volunteer from the Wildlife Information Rescue and Education Service took the two-and-a-half-metre snake to a vet to see if the python would regurgitate the chain. The snake is still under observation and it may need surgery. Poor little dog I told my o/h and he didn't quite hear what I said, he thought they were taking the snake to the vet because they wanted the chain back. Idiot o/h

When I got Penny (and Mac) a few years back Penny had dreadful skin (hair loss and scabby). After trying different diets and shampoos I found the only thing that helped was a completely raw diet with NO cereals. It was advised (I had contacted her previous vet at Kenilworth) to keep her off red meats as she had kidney stones removed. It also helped if I didn't bathe her very often...once her skin cleared up she didn't smell anyhow. If I had known about Calendula petals when I was going through the hell of finding a solution I reckon she would have healed (inside and out) much much quicker. I now mince up around 15kg of turkey necks at one go (and freeze in lunch-box sized containers) then mix in a good dollop of slops with their mince at each meal. It is important to add unpasteurised apple cider vinegar to the veges. Here is an old topic on 'Dog Slops' http://www.dolforums.com.au/topic/226201-barf-vegies/page__p__5482993__hl__%2Bdog+%2Bslops__fromsearch__1#entry5482993

Love that pic boronia, Here they are with pink tongues. Hahaha, much better now Marion

just an idea :laugh: (pity about the green tongue!)

I can't find the thread bout Zeus that was posted a couple of weeks back. Here is an update from the Brisbane Times http://www.brisbanet...bnr=MTAxMzU1ODU Brisbane dog at centre of national facebook storm March 11, 2014 - 12:01AM Kim Stephens Journalist Zeus, the dog at the centre of a social media storm Photo: Supplied A seven month fight by a Brisbane family to save their pet from doggie death row has suddenly whipped up a social media frenzy. Nearly 1500 people have joined the Facebook site Free Zeus since Friday, calling for the release of Zeus, a dog whose breed is at the centre of contention between his owners and Brisbane City Council. Rangers seized the animal in Sunnybank in late August last year, when it escaped its owners' yard. A destruction order was issued a week later when council declared him to be part American Pitbull, a restricted breed in Brisbane. Advertisement His family had adopted him just seven months earlier, believing him to be a labrador/Staffordshire terrier cross. The same dog had been caught and released to its owner by council officers in February that year, after being registered. Melanie Isaacs, founding member of the Sydney-based advocacy group Team Dog, launched the social media campaign, after hearing of the family's fight and the financial dilemma that might have prevented them getting Zeus back. In addition to fighting the destruction order through numerous court hearings and appeals, the family also has to pay an impoundment bill of nearly $30 per day, which now totals more than $4500. Within hours of launching the site on Friday, Ms Isaacs said donations to help the family had totalled more than $2000. Council had told Zeus's owners they would release their pet on Friday morning, if they satisfied a range of requirements, which Ms Isaacs said they did, and paid the impoundment costs. However, Ms Isaacs said officers inexplicably changed their minds on Friday afternoon, deciding to keep Zeus in until the next scheduled court hearing in April. A council spokesperson said no attempt has been made to pay the fees for Zeus. "A query was made regarding the process for releasing the dog. Council will release Zeus upon payment of fees and completion of relevant documentation," the spokesperson said. Ms Isaacs said determining a dog's breed could be problematic. "The issue is whether he is a restricted breed or not, this is the biggest flaw with breed specific legislation, identification simply can't be done," she said. "Animal professionals all disagree with each other about it. One can be adopted one day as staffy labrador cross, then declared a pitbull the next." Ms Isaacs said the level of support garnered for Zeus's cause so quickly indicated widespread community opposition to banning certain breeds of dogs. "We at Team Dog believe in science-based animal management and there is no scientific evidence that banning these breeds reduces dog attacks," she said. A council spokeswoman said council could not comment on the case while it was before the courts.
