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.

My Mac seems to be ok with it WM. I just put the .25ml onto the top of his meat & raw vegies twice a day and he eats it all up quick smart. 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.

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? If you do a search for kelp powder on eBay and then make sure the kelp is Ascophyllum Nodosum you will be on the right track. I DID! but either I, or my computer, is/are having a dyslexic week :laugh: (my grammar could also do with a brush-up) Thanks Oakway for the link. 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!

So, is that where Alyosha's Zander and Andie disappeared to nine days ago...off to star in a film? :laugh: Wonder what those naughty dogs did with their money? (http://www.dolforums...queanbeyan-nsw/) eta--fix spelling

where do you buy these from Steve, are they combined as a single supplement or do you buy and administer them separately?

1/2 a packet of bird seed (interesting poo the next day), Bandicoot poo, dried-up magpie, a whole red pawpaw.

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.

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

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.

if these are the pups at Shailer Park the breeder has not mentioned any health checks I also find it odd that they couldn't spell Shailer Park correctly if they are live there

I wonder if you were to contact volunteers at Peninsula Animal Aid http://www.peninsulaanimalaid.com.au/ they are about 15k's from Bald Hills

Try Pet Sitters Australia LG http://www.petsitaus.com.au/ all sitters have to complete a dog/cat first aid course before they are allowed to begin sitting. The woman you contact is Kerry Bailey

maybe a good idea to purchase a food-grade bowl from a kitchen shop or K-mart, the plant pots may have glazes made from lead and cadmium so using them as water bowls may not be the best of ideas. You are probably best with stainless steel (or just let the dog paw the water...he will get sick of doing it one day) :)
