Thanks for that. My lot will eat anything that I put in front of them, they are such unfussy-greedy-pigs. I have emailed Natural Pet Store to ask them if the Earthborn Holistic Primitive Natural Grain Free Dog Food 450g sample bag, the Taste Of The Wild Pacific Stream Canine with Smoked Salmon and the Canidae Grain Free pure SEA with Salmon Meal have been irradiated as I didn't see that info on the product listings. I just received an answer--> No, none of those foods have been irradiated upon entry into Australia. We do not stock any foods that have undergone any irradiation treatment. Those foods are all made in the USA. They are not Australian. fast response aye :D I don't know if I'll get the Canidae or the Taste of the Wild now...decisions decisions

Where did you buy it from Frodo's mum? Can you buy it on-line? I thought the Wetlands Canine Formula may be ok for Penny. I do feed them raw but it is a hassle packing up all the minced turkey necks and vegies and carrying the whole lot + the dogs + overnight bags over to the mainland on the ferry when we are going to go to visit friends for a couple of days.

Hi Ron the 6y/o was a rescue.

It wont "suck" as it's a 'Sweeper'! well in that case it definitely won't suck :laugh:

Here is one on COTD...it is the johnny-no-name brand and for that price probably will/won't suck...you can read those last three words whatever way you like-they mean the same thing :D http://www.catchoftheday.com.au/smallfish_info.php?products_id=46468

Mac peed on my friends foot, unfortunately she was wearing crocs...filled them up :laugh:

Natural Pet Australia have a deal at the moment, $19.95 incl postage for a Natural Dog Treat Pack. It doesn't seem too badly priced so I bought one :D http://www.pawfectdeals.com.au/deals/natural-pet-australia-%E2%80%93-healthy-dog-treat-sample-pack-19-99-including-delivery-with-a-saving-of-50-keep-your-dog-healthy-and-their-teeth-clean/

Sounds a good idea :D http://www.couriermail.com.au/news/queensland/falling-head-over-heels-for-puppy-love/story-e6freoof-1226322353392 WANT to use those puppy dog eyes to collar a new best friend? A new speed-dating concept on the Gold Coast will use pooches as props to help break the ice between its potential paramours. The doggy date day is aimed at singles who may have been barking up the wrong tree when it comes to finding love. They will be invited to bring their dogs to a local park and spend six minutes at a time chatting to members of the opposite sex. "The fun catch is that you will only be able to talk about your dog, not yourself," said Lyn Paul, of dating agency Fast Match Gold Coast. "You will actually be given your dog's name for the day to encourage you to stay on message. The aim is to bring like-minded people together over a shared interest - in this case a love of dogs. Hopefully, they might end up walking their pets together permanently." Ms Paul, who has just launched a franchise of the national Fast Match agency on the Glitter Strip, said she came up with the "Must Love Dogs" matchmaking concept for June because dating could be so daunting. Book-keeper Kendell Walsh, 40, said she was looking forward to the day with her Maltese cross, Princess. "If you're meeting someone else who likes dogs, you know you've got at least one thing in common," Ms Walsh said. Ms Paul said she planned to have monthly themed events.

The life jackets may do the job as they have a wide chest/belly strap and the length goes down to the tail. There was a topic on them here--> http://www.dolforums.com.au/topic/233507-comparing-dog-life-jackets/page__p__5708827__hl__%2Blife+%2Bjacket__fromsearch__1#entry5708827 so you can click on the links and have a look at the different varieties.

Traditionally most of the terriers tails were used to pull them out of the burrows The Wire Fox Terrier is a breed of dog, one of many terrier breeds. ... bred to chase foxes into their burrows underground, and their short, strong, usually docked, tails were used as handles by the hunter to pull them back out The Glen of Imaal - The Glen of Imaal Terrier is more of a working terrier than a fashionable show dog. One of its original jobs was to dig into burrows to root out nuisance badgers - its weight and strength matching the badger's, and its powerful tail acting as a handle for being pulled from the hole, if necessary. Scottish terrier: They had to have strong tails so that the hunters could pull them out of a burrow if needed. The West Highland White Terrier, or Westie, is a small breed of dog that was first developed to hunt rats in underground burrows. ... that the dog can be pulled from a hole by the base of its tail without being injured. I reckon that if the dog was uncomfortable with it they would soon let us know

+ 1 with the dust in the eyes. Doncha just love people who get down on the grass to give a dog a hug! Pearl is just so lovely and her new servants seem to be prepared to do their duty :)

I don't see the Charity number on the ASIC Register According to ASIC it is deregistered on 9/03/2012 Does that mean that it is now registered as a Charity somewhere else?

Remember that dogs do get confused when they look at you and see a 'thing' in front of your face, he could be telling you to put it down. Dogs can't understand cameras. He could also be telling you to chuck something in the water for him to get :) I thought there was a ball or a lump of wood floating in the water beside him that he was interested in.

I hope so!!! +1 It was an awful notice on GT Tigerspit and I feel for the poor owners who could have been searching for their dog in all the logical places, never thinking that it is at some obscuro rescue. Glad you took it off.

Yep, A snip and cauterize would be the go...much less traumatic than trying to tie a piece of cotton around the stem of the lump while Cooper is trying to check out what you are fiddling around with on his face. They may be able to do it with a local anaesthetic after they have given him a calming/light sedation injection as moosepup said.

Kerry blue terriers, not kerry terriers. :) And yes, water, all over the floor but not for long cos they like to wipe their beards on the carpet, furniture and you. :laugh: For anyone who wants a lakie, there is one on Gumtree. I have emailed a bunch of breeders and posted in the UK Terrier thread. fixed my gaffe :laugh:

Who is this? if you Google 'Have you found a stray dog or litter of pups maybe?' you will soon find it.

A few years ago my old dog Harry had one similar to that dangly-bit on Cooper's face, it also had a a really thin piece where it attached. I asked one of the vets that came into our shop what to do...she took a look then said just gently tie a piece of cotton around it...firm, not tight, and every couple of days just tighten it a little. Well that worked, it didn't hurt him and it just fell off after a couple of weeks. It never re-grew. I got the impression that she knew exactly what it was and that was the easiest way of removing it without surgery.

So glad that he is home, excellent excellent news!

Is the aviary on concrete or wood? (not on dirt), if so, you could buy a can or two of chain lube (the sticky goes-on-runny-and-sets-to-a-sticky-grease stuff) and spray it right around the outside of the aviary as a sort-of grease-trail moat. I sprayed it all around the steel house stumps of our high set house, it worked a treat until the vines grew...the ants then used them.

I Googled Adelaide All Breeds Dog Rescue and at the top of the Google list was this: Adelaide All Breed Dog Rescue adelaidedogrescue.com/ This site may harm your computer. Hi Admin ! Why So Serious?

Dogs such as Samoyed, Bichon and Westies don't have the white spotting gene. They are recessive reds which also carry a phaomelanin dilution. Thanks for that espinay2, appreciate it. Now off to read about recessive reds...Google is my friend...

You didn't kill it Jed...I added to it this morning :laugh: It is still alive and kicking (well sort-of)
