    Insurance?

    Yes, definitely! If you go to a site called petsure http://www.petsure.com.au/ there are quite a few that you can do online quotes. They (I think) are all run by an umbrella company called 'Holland' but each insurer on the page has different costs, so it is worth doing a few quotes.
  2. Yep, that is it exactly...I remembered this morning, after my flu-affected brain had a rest, and checked my yesterday's computer history and it was from a newby, in Tassie, who pasted a link on both threads about her crates-for-sale (my history showed her pet supply store) The other thread she posted in was started by Showdog and was titled 'Wanted: Dog Carrier Where to buy?' She should contact Troy for advertising rates, as some of her stuff was ok I'm so happy now that I know I'm not suffering from Old-Timers disease.
  3. Well holey-moley, so it is too! When I answered it was definitely about 5 down from the top of page 1...wonder what happened, I don't ever go to page 2. I feel really stupid now :laugh: did ya get yer crate anyway?
  4. Does it need to be Airline approved Sheridan? if not, Deals Direct have some--> http://www.dealsdirect.com.au/p/65x42cm-portable-dog-cats-pets-carrier-travel-cage-front-do/ There are also some, with free postage, in this shop on Quicksales--> http://www.quicksales.com.au/vshops/browse.aspx?shopid=11027&d=0&pg=1&cat=364720&keyword=Heavy+Duty+Pet+Hard+Flight+Cage+%2f+Carrier
  5. Try these people--> http://www.petsitaus.com.au/ The sitters have to pass a dog/cat first aid course. The sitters are covered with Pet Sitters Australia own public liability insurance.
  6. an old DOL topic--> http://www.dolforums.com.au/topic/98125-stupid-question-really/ and a (silly?) Lonely Planet forum--> http://www.lonelyplanet.com/thorntree/thread.jspa?threadID=1977591
  7. I was thinking that very thing Chezy & Chopper, it seemed odd that the dog would attack, from behind, and have a "glazed look". Poor man and his family and poor police officer having to shoot the dogs, how awful for her. RIP doggies.
  8. I give my lot flaxseed meal now, rather than the oil, much easier on the hip-pocket. if you buy just the whole flaxseeds you can grind them up in the coffee grinder. I keep the packet in the freezer to keep it fresh.
  9. There was a beautiful Labrador at the Ekka, he was a fire-ant sniffer-outerer. His handler said he could find just one fire-ant. Such lovely, useful, clever dogs
  10. You could try Colette at TLC Dogfood, she keeps it. She has a beautiful Cocker Spaniel called Willis http://tlcpetfood.com.au/ She used to deliver dog food to our dog Harry when we lived in Gympie. Harry loved her :laugh: edited to correct grammatical errors
  11. O Dear, after all the support that was given, it was to no avail. I am so sorry Emma, sometimes doing your best just doesn't work out. Thank you for the update and for the big decision regarding Ned. My condolences to you and all the people involved. RIP Ned. .
  12. If you have one dog that eats anything the others will eat what that dog is eating. When we first got Daisy she wouldn't eat any vegetables but soon changed her mind when the other two chomped into their slices of carrot, cucumber, banana or pumpkin. She was so scared of missing out! Wish they would stop eating those big fat strawberries in the garden though :laugh:
  13. Such good news lovemesideways! Naughty-naughty-bad-dogs, don't EVER do that to your mother again!
  14. My lot reckon carrots, lumps of pumpkin and cucumbers are yummy-crunchy-noms. and it is easy to find their poo as it has these little orange bits and cucumber seeds, so easy to see in the grass :-D
  15. is this what you were looking for GT? or even better:

    Atlas

    I am so sorry Teebs, what a beautiful boy he was. RIP Atlas
  17. It's a given that Penny would get the gold for this. :laugh: .
  18. I found the Qld OES club details, phoned Robert the Pet Coordinator,(he was the only one I could get hold of), gave him the details and I reckon he will be on the phone to the advertiser as I am writing this. Onya Robert...hope you have some success in finding them good homes
  19. I have emailed Jill as you suggested dogmad. I had a look at the OES's in the mature section but they appear to be in NSW and these are advertised in 'The Redland Times' ( Qld )
  20. There is an ad in the local paper---> 2 Old English Sheepdogs, 2 years old 1 male 1 fem, desexed, free to good home. I have checked if there is an OES rescue but can't find on DOL. If anyone can suggest a rescue I can email them the advertisers phone number. (I thought it best not to post it here)
  21. Don't worry too much about telling them about their dog's health problems JessicaM...there is one of the same breed living up the road from us that is not from the best of lines and he is the healthiest little dog one could find. His owner ran over him a few years back, got his pelvis and leg pinned and the tough little bugger is no worse for wear. Sometimes there are a few about that have no inherent problems...your (new) friends may have one like this.
  22. Hi puppy lover 123, there is a topic that may help here--> http://www.dolforums.com.au/topic/170330-cavalier-king-charles-spaniel/ Edited to add that I hope I have given you the correct link as I get muddled about the differences between Cavaliers and King Charles Spaniels
  23. I am so sorry Esky, such a dear little dog, your heart must be broken. Rest in Peace Little One. .
