betsy

I went to a catch-up at Ziggy's breeder's place today. Lots of energetic Aussies enjoying having a good rumble and a swim....

:D So glad to hear - I bet he will sleep well tonight after his adventure

Just some random photos from today, this was after a good brush and a play, but it was still hard to get him to sit still for long! And finally, a yawn then he got up and left.......

Your photos are amazing!

Ok, posted these in the Aussie section but will add them here too ;) Maybe we will have a beach date one day soon Ziggy might even share his stick :D

I live in Geelong, wasn't born here, but I do know there is a good community spirit. And yes, some of that involves the football club! Well done GAWS! I am happy that something has been done. And well done to the OP for highlighting the major turn-around. :thumbsup:

Oh Zitch is stunning! So glad to hear things have settled down! The first few nights can be tough, and there are plenty of people here that can share their experience. Looking forward to watching Zitch grow up.

Gorgeous puppies LP and Kinta! I'm looking forward to lots of photos........

Hi! Congrats on the new puppy I found DOL forums after 3 nights with a crying puppy, but it did get better quickly. You will get lots of good advice here, just decide what will suit your household best. I actually did have my pup sleep in the laundry, I taped up the door so there were no draughts coming in, so it was actually quite cosy. There was enough room in the laundry for newspaper for accidents, but I managed with getting up once overnight for toiletting, and my pup was quite good overnight fairly quickly. Some of my tips - 1. No napping after 7pm at all - play lots of games etc to keep you pup up until it is bedtime 2. I found a treat dispensing ball and put a bit of food in there for night-time (he is very food oriented). However, I might suggest no big meals late in the evening. 3. Some toys in bed 4. I put some of my worn clothes (ie with my smell) in his bed too. 5. I also changed beds a got one with 'walls' that was a bit more snug than the original bed. 6. I also left water available freely. I'm sure things will get better soon ;) Good luck! And hope to see some cute puppy photos soon :D

He is a handsome boy! :)

Is it their first beach trip ever? They look like naturals in the surf ;)

I bet they are tired after their weekend beach trip :) Looks like they had a blast

Bit OT but when I was a kid we had a pet sheep we christened "Horse" :laugh: I think whatever the owner wants is fine, as long as it isn't offensive :)

Ok, thought I should add some pics too ;) Ziggy having a 'chew' in the backyard. Norty boy about 30min after this dragged the couch cushion outside whilst I was busy on the phone

Agree. Loving the pics.

Such gorgeous pups! Can't have too many photos of these cuties. Thanks! (We need daily photographic recordings of the ears.... )

Your dogs are so cool with their doggles :D

:D Well done! Have been following this thread hoping for a good home for Ellie.

Sadly my usual dog beach has been overrun by tourists Didn't quite have the same relaxed experience when we went yesterday morning

Gorgeous pics What cute bubs.....

:thumbsup: What a lovely thing to do!

Gorgeous pics of Kyojin and great vid of Rumour.... We need more pics in here! ;)

Poser alert - post bath and brush!

I think offering to take the dog for a walk to help out you neighbour might be a good start. This may help them see that their dog has been a bit neglected and approach you to help. (rather than get them offside initially).......

Lots of head tilting here too. Cute vid. Oh, I may have also received a doggy kiss during it. :D
