Update..9th June: I met Angus (he is a lovely handsome boy in real life!) yesterday at the Westie Club's BBQ, Angus is having a good time with his new people and his new Bestie...a female Schnauzer. His new servants have bought him a stroller so he can have a ride when all that walking becomes tiresome. It appears that Amanda (Qld Westie Rescue) really 'busted her gut' working with the RSPCA to get him released to her for future re-homing...well done Amanda..you are a legend! edited as I put this message into the first post by mistake...woops

That's good news WM, hopefully Olly's new people will post some updates and photos so we can see his naughty little face again. I just popped into All Westie Rescue's facebook page to check on Angus, the Westie in Qld Westie Rescue, and saw the update on Olly...wow, before and after piccies...what a difference! https://www.facebook.com/pages/All-Westie-Rescue/210408315642997

I did a quick search and here are a couple of links https://www.facebook.com/ThePugDogClubOfNswRescuePugs http://www.pugrescue.org.au/?page_id=41

Ha, look at her little face. She looks very snuggly in that bed. Good onyer Pomteddy Pomeranians and Donatella

Came to look how the little ones were doing this morning...so sorry T, how awful for the little pups and you. Your job is heartbreaking sometimes. Bye bye little ones, have fun playing over the bridge, on the grass and in the sun ❤

OMG...Today Tonight = "will be a very fair report" I don't think so! What a goose he is :rofl:

When Penny had a tooth out a couple of months ago the vet said for me to give her meat (I used chicken) chopped up into around 20--25mm chunks, that way she would just swallow it whole, therefore not putting pressure on the wound. She was adament that Penny should not have soft food (like her vegie slops) or hard food (like bones or kibble) for a week. It was only a front tooth so no stitch...just a little hole. Pen was on a/b's for a week also

That baby is going to have a heap of good antibodies to set himself up for the future :laugh:

Hahaha, that was great! thanks for posting from Dr Who fan eta for those who don't get it--> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFKa9tQqzrs

Yay for Donna! I hope she phones Amanda rather than wait for someone to phone her.

Angus is with Amanda at Qld Westie Rescue but I thought I'd put the facebook link here to get the word out. http://www.facebook....210408315642997 MATURE AGED WESTIE NEEDING ADOPTING IN QUEENSLAND Introducing 16 years (approx) male Westie, Angus. He was surrendered due to his owner going into care & is now looking for a loving family that he can retire with. Apart from typical old age health issues such as a bit of arthritis, slightly hard of hearing (but that could just be typical Westie too) & a hint of vision problems, due to cataracts forming, Angus is coping like a typical stoic Westie. He's very fit & social with everyone he meets. He's had his teeth cleaned, so no nasty old man breath to deter the ladies away from his handsome charm & looks. Angus will need to be an indoor/outdoor man, as this is what he's familiar to. He would be more suited for a retired person or couple, as the sudden rapid movement of children may startle him. Plus he'd rather sunbake or relax on a nice comfy bed near the heating, than play with any toys. If you are interested in adopting Angus, please contact our friend Amanda Cloughley from Qld Westie Rescue on (07) 3206 6460 Please help Angus by sharing his post with your friends, so that this little man can happily retire with a loving forever family sooner. Thanks

Can you drop them off at your local library Erny? There is someone on our island who keeps dropping off Dogs NSW and Dogs Qld magazines at our library (there is a free to good home trolley that people can leave their books and mags) I usually snaffle them and when I've finished I put them on the DOL for sale section for pay-the-postage only) Aust Post has Parcel Post Large (5Kg) Satchel for $16.70 so you can put a heap of magazines in to make up 5kg

Cheeeeese! also banana and mandarin segments

So sorry T, I can see her shining star here in the Dogs-in-the-Heavens galaxy

I bet the wildlife is glad that they are being killed by a desexed cat (I bolded the relevant part of your post Garnali) So no, I don't agree with all their principles either.

I'm not sure if this should go in the news forum or here so I have posted it here as many Dolers will have contacts in the States, you may want to pass it on. http://www.ohmidog.c...-kill-your-dog/ Sierra, a West Highland terrier in Colorado, had 26 cents in her stomach. But it was the single penny that killed her. Owner Maryann Goldstein said Sierra was always attracted to change. As a puppy, the Westie swallowed 32 cents and had to have it surgically removed. In March, Sierra got sick again, and X-rays at the vet's office showed a quarter and penny in her stomach. The smaller coin was the bigger concern. Pennies minted after 1982 contain zinc, and that's toxic to dogs and cats, according to the American Veterinary Medical Association. Dr. Rebecca Jackson, a staff veterinarian at Petplan pet insurance, told CBSNews.com that newer pennies are toxic because gastric acid from the pet's stomach reaches the zinc center, causing it to be absorbed in the body rapidly. She said zinc interferes with red blood cell production, and the longer the exposure, the greater likelihood red blood cells will be destroyed. Symptoms of zinc toxicity include vomiting, diarrhea, lack of appetite, lethargy, red-colored urine or looking jaundiced. "Be sure to bank your spare change before curious pets can get their paws on it," warned Jackson. "and if they do, get them to the emergency vet immediately." Goldstein, who now wears Sierra's ashes in a heart-shaped container on a necklace, shared her dog's story with CBS in Denver as a warning to others.

Yes, he is an idiot..the word is you're

I use one of these for Penny who is 14. In the winter I put a blanket and her dog pillow on top and it acts as a water bed, I take them off during the day and she snoozes on the pet-bed if its a warm day http://waggle.com.au/soothsoft-b27/canine-cooler-pet-bed-p372

Thanks very much Julie, I have sent her an email with a link to this topic.

At the moment here are no pups available from the DOL list of breeders http://www.dogzonlin...lsh-terrier.asp

ABC article http://www.abc.net.a...t--dogs/4664964 I have bolded the relevant part More than three months on, the fallout of the Australia Day floods in south-east Queensland is still causing pain. A lot of things have disappeared down the rivers and out to sea, but some interesting things have washed up. Agronomists say farms in south-east Queensland lost up to five centimetres of top soil in this year's floods, but one farmer says he lost six times that amount. Monto dairy farmers Russell and Carol Larsen bowed out of the industry just days before the floods, ending a combined 100 years of dairying in their families. But as Mr Larsen says, while he got out unscathed, his son's lucerne crop didn't fare so well. "It was probably two metres over all his flats and just absolutely devastated the cultivation." After two floods in as many weeks, Mr Larsen said the effects were monumental. "I've been told by Landcare that for every centimetre, you lose a thousand tonnes of top soil, well we lost I'd say 30 to 40 centimetres of top soil in places, and that's what's feeding the fish in the Burnett River." While some farmers lament their losses, others are dealing with unwelcome extras. A big woolly guardian dog is believed to have floated more than 30 kilometres down the Burnett River in the floods and has now found a new friend. Desley Warmington runs a small sheep flock guarded by a male Maremma dog south of Bundaberg and she's not particularly pleased that her pooch has taken up with the new arrival. "This dog just basically came in and was sitting around, didn't attempt to chase or anything... (but) now we've had to put our dog into the house block (because fences were washed away in the floods) and this dog is coming back all the time and hanging around." The visitor is starting to take the resident dog away from the house, so Mrs Warmington says the time has come to do something. She placed a council trap on her property a couple of nights ago but hasn't had much luck so far. "I put a tin of dog food in there but she's pretty cunning, she actually sat quite near it, but whether she's not hungry enough to go in, whether she's got food elsewhere."

They are just beautiful Alun, you have done wonders with Bobby,. I reckon you are so proud of them both, they are a credit to all your care and effort

Good news! I reckon that the best word in the world is 'Benign' edited as I can't spell this morning

hahaaha, I was going to do the same MF, my show-offs were pointy-stuck-up-very-straight tails!
