    Vet Bills

    It's as useful and informative as the article I read a month or so ago that revealed the shocking conspiracy that 7-11 style convenience stores charge higher prices than normal supermarkets.
  2. Every few months, even up to 6 months apart sometimes. Not all the nails need to be trimmed but there are a few that don't wear down enough. We got a dremel specifically for her nails and never used it...should get onto that. I usually take the lazy option and just pop into the vet.
  3. I remember when I showed Billie how to close the push-doors on our tv cabinet...she quickly figured out how to open them again so of course all we heard for the next fortnight was the click of her opening and closing the doors over and over.
  4. Billie used to get crazy legs at night before we put her to bed. Always had to poo afterward so I made sure to send her outside while she was carrying on. Now she just puts herself to bed quite early in the evening. My little one is all grown up now!
  5. My dog won't eat fish heads or most whole fish. Loves sardines from a tin but fresh sardines are ignored.
  6. We had cats and electric fences growing up and they had no difficulty avoid contact whilst crossing them. The secure door TSD suggested sounds like a good idea if you can't get the neighbours to contain their cat somehow.
  7. Billie jumps on anyone who sneezes.
  8. I'm not sure that is the correct interpretation melzawelza. NSW Companion Animals Act 1998 I believe a dog teathered to a fixed object or structure is not held or secured to a person and further, it is only permitted in off-leash type areas. This is understood in regard to the meaning of 'on leash' which is inclusive of being held (or secured to) the person. Regards. If you keep reading: It is legal, but as you said earlier you could still be charged depending on the dog's behaviour while secured.
  9. I fell out of love with my Dyson for a while...until one day I pulled the hose straight and realised I couldn't clearly see daylight at the other end. Eventually I dislodged all manner of splinters tangled with hair and other dirt. Works much better without the blockage :D
  10. That is what I did....didn't even bother wiping the snart off the back windows. Dealer agreed on a trade in price sight unseen so I wasn't about to spend time improving it. Felt a little embarrassed when I handed the keys over but quickly forgot in the haste to get new car home before a nearby hail storm got to us.
  11. I invite my dog into bed instead. She'll either snuggle up so we can both sleep in, or take a quick pat then go outside and amuse herself.
  12. Cute :) Does he get sunburnt? Billie hates the hot midday sun. You throw a toy into the yard and she grabs it and runs straight back to the shade of the fenceline. She doesn't stand out in the sun unless you are doing something...walking, playing etc. and even then she will sometimes move back to the shade and wait for you to follow. Works for me as I'm very fair and get pink after only a few minutes.
  13. My parcel was delivered to work when I was away and my helpful boss opened it to see if it was anything urgent. The next day he handed me the box very sheepishly and apologised for opening a 'private' parcel...I had no idea why he was acting so strangely until I opened the box and saw the safe stix on top.
  14. Poor Ziggy Billie tried to eat one on the weekend. I gave her some frozen bones to take the edge off but she was quiet for the rest of the evening. OH burned the nest later.
  15. Wonderful! I can replace the popular toys I have 'misplaced' from my last order. They just seem to find their way over the fence, into deep water when doglet doesn't feel like retrieving them, up in trees at the park that are too tall for either of us to rescue...I'd better get several of each.
