We used to use chicken wings / necks , but then had a very scary choking incident , which put me off giving them to our little one... I am now back on to daily brushing - it sometimes can be a chore , but it is all part of grooming and it does keep her teeth pearly white !

Keeping my fingers crossed for Bracken - hang in there boy , your family need you

Aaaaaaaaah.. the infamous Black Maltese !!!! Hoping they find the little tyke though

I'm so sorry for your loss Rest easy now Grotty Rotty

Great story ! I have a friend who lives in Oia (Santorini ) who is a passionate dog lover - she has now started up a rescue programme on the island and is having a lot of success.

I can never understand how someone could do something as disgraceful as this. That poor frightened dog and those traumatised people To the person who did this - Ii hope you read the letter in the paper and feel sick to the bottom of your stomach at what you have done. I hope you are reminded of your act each day for the rest of your sorry life. May karma pay you a visit

Well done to the magistrate who oversaw this - the correct verdict was reached ! We have 2 SWF's - when they are in the car they are both strapped in the back with their harnesses fpr their safety as well as ours . Some people are just fools

Saw this in yesterday's paper - a beautiful and poignant shot. So many times a picture can say what words simply cannot

It is definitely the ideal situation to evacuate early in an emergency , however , sometimes the speed of fire and flood does not allow the time for this planning and you may have to make a splt second decision to go. It would make this decision easier and safer for people and emergency service personnel, of people could grab their pets and evacuate , knowing they will be able to take them into shelters. It makes no sense that animals are not permitted to stay with owners and just increases ten fold an already stressful and emotional situation. It is true that the US learned much after Hurrican Katrina - hopefully our authorities will also reflect when the time is right and the changes allowing pets in shelters will be enacted. Thoughts to all the people in QLD and other areas experiencing these horrendous conditions.

hi Darkrai Both Qantas and Virrgin Blue will let dogs fly as cargo. ( Jetstar do not transport animals at all ) To be included in your baggage limits , they have quite specific requirements and costs , so it is best to check with each airline. Just give them a call on their reservation numbers and they will advise you If you want to fly as freight , you would be best to use a pet transport company , either Jetpets or Dogtainers. They then take care of the paperwork etc for you . ( You can nominate times you want the pets to fly ) Hope this helps , and enjoy your trip with you pooch

We have not lived in Melbourne for a few years , but we used to use the High Street Road Animal Hospital. We always found them to be excellent , and my parents still used them up until 2 years ago when they moved to the country . Hope this helps
