How about Chinderah? here is a link on rentals in the surrounding area http://www.realestat...nsw+2487/list-1 and here is a little $300 p/w house with a fence that'll do for a few months http://www.realestat...south-412676767 Is Mullumbimbi too far away?

  2. 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
  3. 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
  4. Love that pic boronia, Here they are with pink tongues. Hahaha, much better now Marion
  5. 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.

I don't know what you can do regarding the incontinence...having drips of pee over the floor and on his bedding is the pits, it's a bugger washing out bedding every day as well as washing wee-stinkin' doggie underneaths.
  13. I am close to running out Oakway and I had a look on ebay for it but couldn't find one at a similar price to yours. Can you give me/us some more clues?

From Brain-dead Me I can supply your organic Ascophyllum Nodosum with a dogz discount. 450g or 1kg bags if you are interested.Link O Blast it all Steve! I bought some from the Oakway-ebay-seller-link, I had checked your Calendula petals (out of interest) but didn't think to check the seaweed. I am cross now as I would have much rather bought from you. I hate that!

  20. Is there a noise in the turbo, transmission or gearbox? (like a high pitched sound) I can sometimes hear that type of noise in some heavy vehicles and it drives me nuts. If there is you could try putting in some additive that your local transmission/gearbox specialist recommends. Worth a go.
  21. Daisy is puzzled on why I put her in the water, she had more fun in the wet mangrove-muddied sand she is always the dirtiest of dogs and the three of them with a bit of dead fish

  24. It is unfortunate but the breeder cannot be reported to anyone TA. Unless the breeder is a member of an organisation like the Canine Control Council or a specific incorporated dog-group...in which case they can have their membership revoked as they have broken the organisation's constitutional rules. The breeder (in this case) can sell the pups at whatever age they like. The '8 weeks old for sale' is only a recommendation by RSPCA or Councils and there is nothing the RSPCA or Councils can do about it. I would be very happy if I can be corrected on my post.
