They are very genuine! Check the news, major flooding all through SEQ and headed toward Brisbane CBD. There are also quite a few threads in OT about the flooding, plus one pinned in General to update the statuses of QLD DOLers caught up in the floods.

Since Black Saturday I think the arson penalties have increased, particularly if people die in the fire.

Kaffy Magee just posted in OT saying they are ok, they're in goondiwindi and can't get any further.

Stay safe LuvLottie and we look forward to your return soon. :D

Gorgeous MM. You have such a lovely looking cat.

Mine get taken to the beach regularly and I never wash/rinse them off. I let them dry out and brush and dry sand left on them [which is usually almost nothing].

OH had a dog before me. He grew up always having a dog. Now we have two dogs, Peggie is 'his' and Spot is 'mine'.

Day 10 New Beginnings I got an offer into my dream TAFE course today.

Mine always come over to me to see if I've bought them anything yummy, or if I sit down, I have at least 2-3 jump up onto my knees and settle down for a nap. terranik

CC-that lamb is really creepy looking! But so cool too! Bje-that is a really cool abstract piece, what is it that you have photographed? Day Nine Bok Bok! One curious chicken coming to check out my lens!

Love the hair Nik, and WA the camera portrait looks great! LuvLottie, I have plenty of days like that, don't worry inspiration will hit you when you least expect it. Day Nine Bok Bok! One curious chicken coming to check out my lens!

If you have had issues with wild dogs mauling your livestock, have you tried putting a special application into your council? Some councils, when presented with the issues and the fact you are only 1 acre short of the regulations may reconsider and issue a special permit. That doesn't surprise me. If they are of a rare breed, and a breeding trio, $500 is a pretty decent price for them. Chickens are similar to dogs in a way...you can pick up crossbred ones for a small price and you can pick up pure rare breeds for a small fortune! I have no issues with people shooting dogs chasing and mauling stock on their property. If I was faced with a dog chasing my stock, I'd shoot the dog. Its not my problem that the dog's owner is irresponsible enough to not contain their dog.

I was sitting outside OH's work, waiting to pick him up and was looking at the buildings, this one seriously looked like it had been computer generated! Day Seven: Real CG.

Well i'm quickly slipping in with 1/2 hour to spare. had such a drama filled afternoon and evening, almost forgot to do my photos. Luckily I snapped a decent enough shot waiting to pick OH up from work. I was sitting outside his work and looking at the buildings, this one seriously looked like it had been computer generated!

My day was a serious emotional rollercoaster. A Day in Colours

DA can I steal your photo. I has a headache. I have had the seriously most emotionally stressful day. So much to deal with, so many ups, downs, lefts, rights and upsidedowns. Hence the title for my photo. A Day In Colours

I do not have it out for anyone or anyone's dogs! Who ever said that has seriously misconstrued what I said. I did not single anyone out. I had no idea who was throwing the ball. I never named anyone or anyone's dogs. I am not saying active dogs shouldn't be allowed. All I am asking is for people to refrain from bringing toys along. The dogs have fun without them. The humans have fun without them. I did not make it sound like we always have fights. I said we have the occasional tiff. And honestly it's expected with such a large group of dogs running together. And I also said that my dog has being involved in two scuffles with another dog over a ball. Maybe I should have mentioned these scuffles happened about 18 months apart! Why I took a few days to mention something, I needed some time to think, to work out if I was over reacting or if it a legitmate thing to say. I thought it was worth mentioning. Obviously I was wrong.

Just for the record, my dog is NOT dog aggressive. She is extremely ball obessessed and when she sees a ball she must have it. I get that people's dogs like to play with tennis balls, I have two who love them. I know people want to play ball with their dogs. But it is not fair on the people who have dogs who are like this [and I know I am not the only one] to then have to leash our dogs the whole time because someone might want to throw a ball for their dog. We already take precautions to keep certain dogs apart because we don't WANT fights at the meets. I bring my dogs to socialise with other dogs, not to play fetch. I leave that for the local dog park or the beach, where there are less dogs and a less liklihood of fights over prey objects. IMO throwing a ball for a dog, whilst there is 10-25 other dogs in a small area at a planned social is just inviting trouble.
