all that glitters

Great Photos!! I spy a long coat shepherd ooooo hehe

I hope the fella is doing ok today poor boy I pray and pray those owners get punished

Yep totally my situation too, my GSD bitch is a LOT happier and calmer being kept indoors only when alone, with the door open she would run straight outside and distress bark - now with no outdoor access there's not even a whimper! She goes straight onto one of her many couches The "best" tool is the one that the owner is comfortable with using. If the owner doesn't want to apply an aversive electric current designed to make a dog uncomfortable to their pooch then an electric collar is not the right tool. Calling it a "stim" instead of a "shock" won't change that. I think you've done a fine job of painting the "right" image there to get by without also using ambiguous language. You are so fair, and then at the last moment, just when everyone's feeling nice and comfy, you start playing down the aversives. Don't play down aversives! It's not worth it, and you don't have to. You just have to be honest. I'm sure the anti-e-collar possy does like to use the word "shock". And that is pretty irrelevant. No one here is parading a "Ban E-collars!" sign. I don't see any of that, I just see Erny saying it how it is? I don't have a problem with what she's saying

As far as I am aware, I don't think you can... Oh poos! Macros are pricey LOL

Sorry to gatecrash but just wondering if anyone knows if you can get the Canon EOS 450 or 550D with a macro lense as one of the lenses in the bundle?

Hows it going today?

OMGGG I love that photo of the GSD about to bop the little dog on the head!

I think GSD's can be quite full on when they are young. My girl is 14 months old and plays quite rough, and when playing with smaller dogs she tends to 'paw' at them to catch them and interact with them which can be too rough with the little dogs! She has gotten better, but I wouldn't get a smaller sized dog as her companion til she was a few years older and a bit less enthusiastic!

oMg that would be Shylas heaven!! She LOVES long grass. If we're out walking and she walks through some she automatically gets all boundy and playful and wants to frolic LOL

Yeah I was going to put lots up then decided to hold back and put a link to them all if people want them all Yep that's Hugo, Bindii's boy! I saw a HUGE HUGE newfie but thought it was an adult? It sorta looked clipped around the back end.. not sure if it was that one! And of course the more pics the better! Ok that's SO CUTE lol :D

Did anyone else do the Million paws walk? We did the Albert park Melbourne one today! I got stacks of photos, you can see them all here if interested: Shelle's Million Paws Walk pics Me and Shy Shyla and her best shepherd friend Skylar (owned by Sky_Mel) Mingling Tired sheppies! Walkinggg Resting!

I like!!!

Good choices! I have the 450D, i've had it for quite a while now and i'm about to upgrade because I've finally got to the stage where I can look at a photo and tell you that my camera can't handle it. I'm also finding that my camera body isn't fast enough for the lenses I've been putting on it lately. My advice would be to buy the best that you can afford. If you're looking at the 450D and the 550D, have a look at the 500D too. They're all the same "level" of camera (the 450D being the oldest of the three) but the 500 and 550d have video capabilities. Wow! I was looking to get a 450D. Soo hard to choose when it's a lot of $! I want something awesome but not so awesome I can't handle it from the beginning LOL

No suggestions but just want to say I feel for you, it must be so stressful :D

Lucky and needed :D

Yep theres something about those yoghurt containers that dogs just love, hm wonder what it is :D Hope the pack are feeling better tomorrow including you!

LMFAO old perves, there's so many of em! I get enough of them at work, if Don comes in I'll be sure to pull my top up FAR :p

Oh my god thats so awful!!!! :cry: I pray so much he gets better Pockets that so sad Come on Tyson fight and pull thru!

Omfg why are people so dumb... *sigh* That girl, I'm glad I don't know her. What a beautiful dog, I hope he finds a home

;) :D Oh my gosh!

I wish I lived near that!!!

Sell sell them or re they available for adoption? That clinic sounds SO bad fancy not wanting to give the money back and giving u clinic credit WTF??

When Shyla hurt her back leg and had a suspected cruciate ligament tear (which we don't think it was now!) I put her on a high dose of pharmaceutical grade glucosamine and we started weekly water treadmill therapy sessions, I swear they worked wonders!!!

Love them love them!! I think I'll be buying 2 with a particular shepherd on them..

I'm beginning to agree with you. Hell if you can't walk your own dogs on lead without being attacked by some other moron's dog, then yes go for it. But probably you would be charged for carrying an illegal weapon!!! Maybe do a citizens arrest and hold the lady and call the police. I don't go out with my dogs unless I have my mobile and one with a camera, then at least you can take a photo of the person and the dog - it's a lead that maybe useful. I also take my phone with camera! And keys and they are in a bumbag, thats all i carry on me. So defenseless
