Pet insurance australia were fast to pay out my claim last year. a 1200 bill and with $250 excess. they paid most of the remainder but now only cover 80% which i think the other insurers also do. I'm happy with them. they didn't increase our premium the next year.

an this "As the interview ended Dyer leaned in towards Max in a show of affection but the dog bared its teeth and snapped at the news anchor before owner Michael Robinson was able to restrain it." a show of affection to humans maybe. another example of acting like animals should go by human rules.

Anniek - May is beautiful, such a happy face Huga, love the hearts, great composition fattima, love the focus on the pin, so sharp. gotta love those ears too Millie-Moo, is Aggie yours? nice lounging shot. gapvic. such an eery shot. love the tones and light through the window. and another nice one, the second. nice use of colour. Gila, another great self portrait. i don't write journals for that reason Mtd, lovely flower, i like the angle. Mr red dog, lovely well lit shot. I find it hard to get nice shots in full sun, too many shadows but yours is good. crazy Cresties, your first shot is really humorous. love it. and the second, is really lovely looks like you could throw some diamonds on that dog and they wouldn't be out of place. butternut, i really like the droplets, so crisp, i can imagine that coolness after the storm kind of feeling with this pic. Misteri, i love the scenery down that way. so stunning. dog fan, i like the mood of the second one best. Kym and drain, I especially like the second shot. kja, i especially love the week 1and week 3 shots. the first for the colour and composition and i think the second is great on focus as well as the subject matter. i love it when babies look at the camera Redangel, what a wonderful distraction a dog can be when we have for to do. i have three for the week. all i think represent my kids school pretty well. a walkway at school Untitled by inkdogdesign, on Flickr my second daughter in the middle playing a tiggy game with friends.

Unfortunately she's not that gentle. she can be quite careless and turns to chasing them. poor things. she's currently on a ban from the chickens. thanks everyone for your comments. i'm really enjoying the journey.

have PM'd you but thought this info might be useful for others: Don't waste your money with draining is my opinion. It will likely just refill. it just needs support and a comfy bed. My Oberon also had a reaction at 12 weeks to a tax but had the hygroma at 10 weeks. We got it drained at 14 weeks and bandaged. the bandage was a pain as it would get loose and then i'd go to a different vet who was not good at bandages. i became and bandaging expert after that. the hygroma then went away especially as we tried to get him to rest on soft surfaces. we had hard floors and he rarely chose the couch. About 1 yr later he developed the hygroma again in the same leg. A different vet drained it but it came back within the week. I then bought a product called dogleggs. it is padding on both elbows, (often custom made) and then a strap over the back to hold them in place. this product alone had the hygroma gone in less than a month. well worth the money. i think it was around $150, but thats a lot cheaper than the vet visit. heres a link to the product. http://www.dogleggs.com/adjustable/ they are available in Australia, just can't remember where from.

A couple of Adonys done today. 5/52 Adonys by inkdogdesign, on Flickr Untitled by inkdogdesign, on Flickr Untitled by inkdogdesign, on Flickr

absolutely love these 2.

I haven't been on DOL much and will have to catch up on everyones pics but just wanted to comment on a few. Anniek, I absolutely adore that photo of Cody. wonderful lighting. DSO, love your close up, really lovely. here's mine for the week. one of the few dry days we've had. kids had some fun swimming

Beth, we've got wet dog photo too. This was our 150mm day and the dogs were stuck outside for half of it. i had little pity since they'd broken into the house bout 5 times that week and made massive messes in the house. This is Adonys saying: "i don't understand what i did wrong? 4/52

thought i'd pop in. We'll show sparingly, but here is my new boy Donny (aka Alyosha Adonys) First show won't be till late March, gives me time for some training.

3/52 can't decide between a few of these. help me decide the best please. the sad wet dog

Hi everyone, heres mine for the week. we had our first ever chicks hatch this week, they are adorable. Beautiful Country scene, MTD. I do like Kenilworth. MnDM, love the yawning pic especially the whiskers are crisp. Jen, well done on the glamour shot. My mum works as a telemarketer for a glamour studio. usually so tacky but i like yours. K and A, beautiful dog. I'm curious about your dogs eyes. was the flash on. dwynwen, lovely close up on the flower. redangel, love the pie. Great tone. you can tell its a baby. Gila, really loving your portraits. KumaAkita, wonderful closeups. I really like them, especially the second one.

I'm really enjoying seeing what you're all photographing and the styles are so varied. Love the mushroom, butternut. Gila, that self portrait is perfect. i really like the composition. Annie, i love the detail you get in your greyhounds. all that muscle. Love the body surfing Magpie, TD. great capture. snook, Sorry to hear its been tough. Its a great portrait and i hope it does for you what you need it to in moving on. mine for the week. i can't decide between these 2.

Love the photo of Diva. love the focus on it. Snook, do you use lightroom. Love what you do with your photos, makes me want to experiment more. Kuma, great shot and perspective.

our second week pic. i'm not entirely happy with it but it will do. its an experiment with lightroom. I think i'm most unhappy with me in it. My 7yr old took it on instruction and i edited it.

I think you missed the point. Separate powderpuff/ hiarless as in short and log coated chi's Yes other breeds should be separted as in Europe. 4 different coloured cavs, 2 different coated Griffons. She said the following which sounded like she didn't realise they could be shown. "Wouldnt this open up the market for Powder Puff sales?? There are so many beautiful powder puff puppies out there that are placed in pet homes because they are powder puffs, this is such a shame."

i thought they could be shown. am i wrong? just went to the standard and heres what it says on the coat: Coat: No large patches of hair anywhere on body. Skin fine grained, smooth, warm to the touch. In Powder Puffs coat consists of an undercoat with soft veil of long hair, veil coat a feature.

boing hmm, whats under there? oh no its going to hit me. goof. doing their best "who's got bigger teeth?"

stonecutter, i edit my shots but you don't have to. Its a nice shot yours without editing.

1st one for the month.
