Nice colour, i think so. It's a pity with Black dog that their stuff isn't actually photo's thou so you can see it properly, although i think their pictures are a pretty good match.

We live out of town so we walk the perimeter of our block which is 50 acres, if we take all three together they walk without a lead, so they can run and investigate, they are generally always behind us a little then run up a little in front wait till we get ahead then run past us again. When we take just one i like to put that one on a lead and they will walk beside us, and they think they are special when we do this.

Hey guys just want to say thanks, the advice ( and giggles ) is why i like you. I appriciate all your help/Advice, weather it be by a direct post from myself or a search i have done to find a solution to an issue i have. Now I Know i don't post a lot. thats because i search and find the answer so theres no need to ask again, is there! Just wanted to say Thanks. PS, I think my poor Buster will have a sore bum a little later on, might go get him something sooooothing to sit on. Thank-you all

Thanks esky, did the bitter bite effect the chilli bush at all? I assume not, what is in bitter bite? Is it like tabasco sause? we did use this on a Manchrian pear a few years ago to stop the dogs jumping into it chasing birds it worked.

No the outside not hot to lick, he didn't gulp he chewed it can't work out why, maybe he's going senile or lost his taste buds!

I will thanks, thank-fully he didn't swallow it whole he chewed it....seeds and all, everytime i tried to take it he thought it was a game and ran away, stopped chewed some more, this went on and on until he ate the lot excluding the stem! I swear this dog is mad, he's never touched my plants before but he was in a real silly mood today for some reason. I will keep an eye on him thou thanks for the warning.

Well I don't really know the answer but when you have a really hot curry the side dish to calm the palete is a yoghurt based something so perhaps a natural yoghurt ?? Banana also works for humans too. He loves Yoghurt, he always looks forward to when i have some as he knows i will leave him some. I gave him a nice big helping today and he loved it, so hopefully it made him feel a little better.

Don't be surprised to hear a little yelping from the backyard. Perhaps I might get a cold pack ready for him to sit on

Buster picked a chilli ( not one of my hottest ) of a bush when i tried to get it off him he thought it was a game so ran and ate it, seeds and all! I did a search on the net and got conflicting advice as usual, did a search here but couldn't see anything, so is it bad other than a hot mouth? He has been drinking a lot more than usual, as you'd expect I thought if i game him a little bit of milk maybe it could help. But then i have heard milk in humans doesn't help need to use Vodka ( can't give him that ) Any advice would be great thanks heaps

Too dear! I agree Sue, we have them starting at 29.90 some places are double the price makes you wonder where they bought them from.

We have a boy then two girls, the Boy Buster was a real sex crazed little bugger he had a favourite pillow he would position for enjoyment, he was desexed at 5 1/2 months as soon as he was big enough down there to do. The two girls were done at 6 months. I wouldn't feel guilty, unfortunatly some dogs are mistreated so badly by humans and yet continue to stay with the Human. The only thing i can say is that the Boy was more of a sook than the girls and they had a bigger cut.

Can i order 5 thanks. If not too late. (PS was also contacted by someone via e-mail to pop in an ad, but have,nt heard any more )

From me too

Jack is a lucky little guy to have met you. Good on you for not turning a blind eye :D Iam a little partial to JRT's - just love their antic's, i can imagine what he got up to trying to get out of that situation. Thank-you for sharing ( although you made me cry and ruin my mascara )

We haven't used this one but have heard it being referred to as 'The Chiltern Hilton'

I missed it did anyone tape it?

Wouldn't it be great if it meant that by coming a 'Multicultural Australia' we could just adopt some of the practices from other countries.

Originally when i first looked at opening my business it was going to be a Dog and Human Cafe. I visited my local council and discussed at length the options i had, we bought the building we were wanting to put this business into which had a dual access. (a bit hard to explain but it was a block of land with a retail store, then two separate bathrooms, then a Kitchen and then a another retail area, the front retail had a front door etc just like a normal shop, the kitchen and back retail area both had doors leading on to the verandah) We were under the understanding that our building was no different than two separate shops down any street. So we went about organising the front retail as a Doggie Boutique where the human and dog could come in dogs could get his/her treats etc, human places order, then order goes to kitchen, Human and dog goes sits outside on verandah through side door ( which council approved the new door knowing why we wanted a door there) then humans order would be delivered to them through a window from the kitchen. No different we thought than two shops side by side down a street one being a cafe the other a pet shop. We organised our logo and signage to reflect a doggie cafe. We were told to put in our proposal to council for the food premises, mean while getting neccesary food certificates ( all the while council knowing what we were doing. ) So in goes my proposal which was what the health inspector said to do he said 'Don't put application in yet, send in proposal so we can make the neccessary adjustments to make it right, then put in application' Well all i got back was a flat out no, and parts of 'Section 4, 16 & 24 of the food act 1984 was noted in the letter. Basically ' live animals are not permitted in areas where food is handled, this includes, the making, manufacturing, producing, collecting, extracting, processing, storing, transporting, delivering, preparing, treating, preserving, packing, cooking, thawing, serving or displaying of food. The problem as i understood it was that the food for humans had to get into my premises past where dogs would be! ( although the food would be packaged in boxes from the suppliers ) I did argue well how does any food get into any food business when it has to come out of the delivery van onto the footpaths past were dogs walk. I also was informed that food being served onto side walks where people sat was against the law and to my understanding if dogs sat outside on sidewalk with owners and the owner came in to order and collect their own food this was ok, the problem was when staff came out to deliver the food ordered. I was also informed that most cafe's were doing the wrong thing and that the helath inspector would not act upon it unless a complaint was made! So does that mean its not a health issue until a complaint is made? I did also quiz them about a certain restaurant in town (didn't name them) who live on the premises and owned adog who lived on the premises which was above the cafe, I was told it wasn't a problem. We even got a new address for the back retail store, to try and make it two separate businesses, didn't work. It just annoys me that all our clients would be Dog lovers and if they thought that there was any risk health wise that they could make that judgement to dine with us or not. Point to note at xmas time we had a Santa day where we took photo's of dogs and their owners had specials and competitions and had a Sausage sizzle which was on our premises and was approved by council we gave all the proceeds from the photo's, competitions and sausage sizzle to two Dog rescue groups. The only reason we were allowed to have it was becasue it was for charity. Don't worry i have thought about having my cafe and give all the proceeds away, as there is no health risk

I will post some pics over the weekend for you.

What would you like me to clarify?

What is a spinal vet? I believe there is only one registered neurological specialist in australia? Do you mean a chiroproactor vet? The Vet he is seeing is Dr Ian Bidstrup He has told us that he has helped a lot of Dogs that have issues after snake bites. The Vets web site is http://www.spinalvet.com.au/ And i have heard some fabulous reports regarding him. We are looking forward to our Visit.

Buster has his first visit tomorrow with a spinal vet. He is going for a couple of reasons Anxiety and Snake Bite. We have heard that a Chiropractor can greatly improve a dogs health after a snake bite ( Or three for Buster ). We have also learnt that Buster is a Nervous dog and we don't know if this is due to snake bites ( he was 14 months when he got his first one ) or another issue. Has anyone done similar?
