  1. My lot rushed out on the veranda which runs along under the window of the office/computer-room, they were upset and growled and muttered rather than barked. Any news from the police yet YG?
  2. I will amend this post as I have been contacted by several people regarding my donation-offer. So I will not be donating/offering my small amount to her rescue. So I sorry to not be able to go ahead...(I have already emailed tdierikx in regards to this decision) B
  3. I emailed tdierikx this morning re offering a small amount to get him into her rescue, she said:- "I have spoken to Lyn, and she will be in contact with Blacktown Pound tomorrow to see if we can put our name on him" Hopefully tdierikx will update tomorrow
  4. Sheridan: 1206110 Male black grey 1/2yrs skye terrier 31/10/2012 15/11/2012
  5. The little bloke (number 1206110) has until 15/11/2012 so we had better keep an eye on him to make sure he goes to a Reputable rescue
  6. Does the Skye Terrier Rescue (if there is one) know about this one Clover? There's only 11 breeders listed on DOL and the chances of them being BYB is pretty slim. If indeed it is a Skye, it would be worth emailing the breeders and giving them the heads up I started a thread here in rescue--> http://www.dolforums.com.au/topic/243164-skye-terrier-in-blacktown-pound/page__pid__6007634#entry6007634
  7. Good on yer lillypilly, thank you. They are really neat looking dogs...long and hairy and look like caterpillars when they are trotting along.
  8. In another topic (the Lakeland one in General) Clover mentioned that there is a Skye terrier at Blacktown pound at the moment. Is it possible for someone here, who is in touch with Blacktown pound, check on/rescue this dog please. Just askin' :)
  9. Does the Skye Terrier Rescue (if there is one) know about this one Clover?
  10. How is Jed this morning Jednkirrasmummy?
  11. I have emailed you yesterday NQ...I am surmising it is the Northern Russell island you are referring to as I have had no reply :)
  12. That is good news that the surgery went well. Poor Jed will be so sore with his big operation as well as his castration...ouchies.
  13. Is that the Russell island that is in Moreton Bay (just east of Brisbane) here--> http://www.redland.qld.gov.au/AboutRedlands/SouthernMoretonBayIslands/Pages/default.aspx or is it the Russell Island, part of the Frankland islands here---> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russell_Island_%28Frankland_Islands%29 I can help with the Southern Moreton Bay islands but not the one up north (which is the one I reckon it is)
  14. I have an email from the Yahoo Westie group: Hi everyone I do hope everyone in the area around Crows Nest (Sydney) has already heard but if not - some (evil) person is laying baits at the St Thomas Rest Park, Crows Nest. They consist of minced meat with either snail bait or Ratsak mixed in - deadly for dogs. So if you know of any dog owners in the area, do warn them. I believe it was featured on TV and also in the Mosman Daily but I'd rather warn everyone than someone suffer by not knowing.
  15. Slightly OT, but not really as it could be helpful to the OP - could you chop up frames and mince/crush them in the moulinex? We're looking to get a mincer, as the mincer attachment for my KitchenAid is only plastic and won't do bone but whenever we get has to be able to at least do chicken frames without having a meltdown. It'd be really easy to chop up frames, especially the backs, as they sit on the chopping block easily and are heaps softer than turkey necks. When you are doing the chopping-with-the-hatchet stuff it is easier if the necks/frames are 1/2-->3/4 frozen as it prevents all the blood splattering over the yard (though the dogs do lick it up :laugh: )
  16. My lot do get chicken wings a couple of nights a week, but for their raw meat meals (which I mix with raw vegetables/oil vinegar/herbs/egg/etc) I mince turkey necks. I have a moulinex mincer which is just big enough to stuff a turkey neck into. I buy a 15kg box from the pet food store, Ingams brand is pretty good as the necks are not too big, the store has another brand at one time and they were incorrectly marked as turkey necks, instead they were Sauropod necks and had to be chopped up longwise with the hatchet. The mincer crushes the bone up ok. edited to say that I looked up the mincer on ebay and there is one for $14.95 buy now here--> http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Moulinex-Electric-Mincing-Sausage-Making-Machine-/121004499007?pt=AU_SmallKitchenAppliances&hash=item1c2c6e203f
  17. There is a woman who walks her unleashed SWF dog every day except Tuesday's and Thursday's, it is on a lead those days as the council dog ranger is here.
  18. I am so sorry to hear that your little Cal has passed Kiwioz. He looked a grand little bloke. RIP Little Man.
  19. maybe you could make something like this Pest-Proof Dog Feeder--> http://www.enasco.com/product/C05202N
  20. I get a newsletter from Denise Randall which usually features one of her 'Good Dog Jack' paintings as well as a story about some rescue Westie, or wannabe Westie. This morning her newsletter is about a blind Scottish terrier, Scottie Boy, who was rescued, as well as a Westie that also wears one. Scottie Boy's owner made him a halo. Google is my friend and this is what I found--> http://www.halosforpaws.com/ Seems a fantastic idea and the dogs are safer.
  21. SecretKei and Bark, where did you buy your Petzlife?
  22. maybe someone here knows of the two dogs. Poor little Chiquita, that's a big scar for a little dog. http://www.couriermail.com.au/questnews/moreton-bay-regional-council-looks-for-owner-of-two-attack-dogs-after-redcliffe-incident/story-fn8ygho7-1226486750315 Barry Veale's three-year-old shih tzu Chiquita is lucky to be alive after suffering horrific injuries during a walk at Redcliffe's Bradley Park. The tiny pooch was set upon by two staffordshire terrier-cross dogs and Mr Veale was attacked when he tried to save her during the attack two weeks ago. He said the large dogs were on leashes but proved too much for their owner to handle when they ran across the park to attack Chiquita. ``These dogs saw our little dog and the lady was trying to hold them. I tried to grab Chiquita and they bit me on the arm,'' Mr Veale said. The woman and her dogs ran to a waiting car and left without exchanging details. Moreton Bay Regional Council Mayor Allan Sutherland said no one should have to go through such an experience. ``Council officers are continuing to investigate the incident, but I appeal to anybody who may have witnessed the attack and knows where the dogs are kept, or recorded the registration number of their owner's car to come forward,'' Cr Sutherland said. It is my hope somebody will come forward with information that will lead council to the owners of the dogs so we can put in place strategies to ensure they don't attack in public again.'' Last year, the Redcliffe & Bayside Herald ran a campaign called Biting Back after a series of dog attacks on the Peninsula. During the campaign, the Herald urged readers to be responsible pet owners, particularly those with aggressive dogs. At the time, council said it received an average of 55 dog complaints each day. Cr Sutherland said while the dogs responsible for the latest attack were not a restricted breed, council could declare them dangerous which raises yearly registration fees from $25 to $460. Meanwhile, Mr Veale is paying off a $1000 vet bill and nursing a nasty bite on his arm which required medical treatment and a tetanus shot.
  23. Thanks for that Rappie. I am taking him to the vet shortly to get the hair between his front-feet-toes clipped (he has a phobia) so I'll ask the vet to do bloods and get ideas on treatment for his wee problem. He doesn't drink more often than normally. He is just a stinky wee boy
  24. Yes, I am going to do that next time I see the vet. I was just interested if there is anyone here that was/is familiar with this medication. I wasn't planing to buy some and give them to Mac...just after Ditropan for doggies info
