  1. His groomer will LOVE you! He is very cute. I love Poodles. When bred/raised correctly they are little balls of spunk. I love his name too :laugh: hehe yeah I have never seen a dog love being blow dried - last nigt after his bath he was running into the blow dryer stream and bouncing around playing in it and waving his front paws at it - so cute! He is so spunky. He just learns so fast and takes things in his stride. We took him to a bbq last weekend and kids were running around letting off party poppers and he just sat there watching wagging his tail.
  2. that's terrible liebhunde We had two of our dogs killed by neighbours dogs when I was a kid. Both in front of me and both were really fast and hardly a mark on the dogs. Was terrible though. Its an awful way to lose someone you love.
  3. He knows how to work it. We have been toilet training in the rain at the start of the week. Because he got wet a few times I brought him in and blow-dried him - he was a bit scared of it at first so I gave him treats every time the dryer was on him. Now he LOVES the dryer and runs into the stream of it on purpose. Only took one go for him to change his mind about it.I filmed it tonight he was so cute playing in in after I bathed him.
  4. God people make me sick, poor little dog. I've had to change my walking route and can no longer go down the next street due to two staffies with really stupid owners have access to the street through open gate/no gate on driveway and a 2 ft fence at the front. They don't like other dogs, the stupid owners take them off lead (no collars either) to the park opposite. Now in another street nr mine, my other walking route, a stupid young girl has a large bull breed cross in another house with no front fence or gate, off lead OF COURSE. Last night I had to turn back - i could see she was calling him, God knows where he was but I was terrified he'd appear and see me and my little dogs. Why should good dog owners be the ones to suffer? It so isn't fair is it? We are responsible dog owners, we keep our dogs in our yard, we register chip, vacc & worm etc, we walk them on lead. these people do none of that. And no-one will step in to prevent these things from happening it seems.
  5. I'll be glad if both the dogs are gone and unfortunately pts is the best option. It just annoys me because it is the owners that have caused the dog to be in this position in the first place. The dogs are probably better off pts At least it will be quick for them. Charlie suffered and fought and it was awful for him I wonder about their other little dog Lola too, what she thinks. Charlie was taken away in a car in a big commotion and she won't see him again. And the poor young kids, I can relate to what they are going through. I am glad they weren't with the dog at the time trying to save him and getting in the middle, that is what I have been afraid of happening.
  6. The owners got home this afternoon and I met them for the first time. They were all muddy from being out at the flood clean up and obviously very tired. Then they were about to go inside and break the news to their little girls who didn't know yet that Charlie didn't make it. Sounds like the dog that attacked him will be put to sleep. Two lives lost because of the owner's irresponsibility. ETA: but the other dog who is just as bad will be kept and will continue to get out. And this afternoon we walked our dogs past - on the way out just the cattle dog was out and the gate was shut and we couldn't see the GSDx. After we got home we came outside again and they had opened the gate and left it open and both dogs were out roaming again. The day after Charlie was attacked! I've been taking photos every time I see them out and putting my complaint in writing with the dog attack form. The neighbours are saying they will talk to them, give them the vet bill and then ask them to have the dog destroyed and if they do they won't go to Council. But I feel that a report should be put to Council regardless. At least so that they know what happened because they ignored reports and also so that maybe something can also be done about the cattle dog too.
  7. Have been puppy sitting this bundle of CUTE all week and he goes home tomorrow night. I'm not attached, I'm not! He is just the coolest and confident little puppy! So puppy clucky! Been a while since I went out to take some nice photos and he gave me a reason. Taking photos of black dogs is a challenge. For the first half of the photos I had the camera set on tungsten and they all turned out really blue. Finally got it better and got some shots I am happy with.
  8. This is Noodle the toy poodle who I have been puppy sitting this past week and he goes home tomorrow. He is a bit too attached to me and me a bit too attached to him.
  9. You would think so. Their gate was shut this morning which is rare. The only other times I have seen it shut is when the dog has caused close calls in the past that they were made aware of, but only for a couple of days. Hopefully the large vet bill and a fine will get the message through. I also hope that other dog owners in the street with smaller dogs will now keep their dogs in too.
  10. The owner mentioned she would get the dog put to sleep. Which would be totally unecessary if they just kept their dogs in and were responsible. Another life to be lost because of irreponsible idiots! A couple of months back this dog rushed at a young girl who was walking her little dog past and she was yelling out for help. My husband and I had to chase the dog off away from her. I reported it to Council and still nothing was done. Imagine if a young child had been there trying to break up this fight
  11. Four dogs were out on the street in total. Two were little dogs - Charlie and Lola, from one house, they are small fluffy mixed breeds. Two were big dogs from another house - Snoop and Nam. Snoop is a GSD x rotti mix and Nam is a cattle dog. Snoop attacked Charlie, both are entire males. I am not sure if Nam was involved but she often joins in with Snoop when he harrasses people and dogs. Both these dogs pinned my dog when I walked him past one day. Both are dogs I would not trust and have had several close calls. After he attacked Charlie he went after Lola but she got away and I was there by that time grabbing Snoop, which distracted him. After all this, their dogs were still out roaming last night.
  12. Unfortunately Charlie's injuries and shock were worse than we thought and he passed away through the night. The vet worked very hard to save him but it was too much for his little body. The owners are coming back from flood relief work tomorrow and they haven't been told yet. I am just so mad at all the irresponsible owners. None of the dogs should be out
  13. That's a good start Cazstaff. I think if Buddy all the time and I too have shared his story with many.
  14. gaahh! I have reported the roaming dogs 2 doors up from us FOUR TIMES to Council. Nothing was done and on one occasion the animal control officer actually said to me "good luck getting anything done in that area". Not only do these dogs roam but they go for other dogs, including mine when I have walked them past the property the dogs belong to. The owners leave the gate wide open and sit on their front verandah just watching their dogs bother people and do nothing. Sure enough, tonight I heard a dog screaming, ran out and one of the large roaming dogs had attacked a small dog in our street. I ran over to help, the dog ran off towards the second small dog, I tried to grab the big dog by the collar and it was only a flea collar so it snapped, meanwhile he was going for the second dog. 2 teenage girls from the house that the large dog belongs to were out holding the little attacked dog (Charlie) who was in shock. Then a friend of theirs arrives and asks what happened. They told him their dog had attacked this dog and you know what he said? He asked who the owners were, I told him which house and then he said - "Ok well we will just keep it quiet, we will just tell them we found the dog like this" I said NO, I have reported this dog 4 times and now I will also be reporting this. At this point another neighbour came out and I told him what the guy had said about keeping it quiet and he said he wants the dog killed. Then the guy starts going off at him threatening to kill him if he finds the dog dead. The owners of the dog are away helping flood victims, this is the last thing they need. Their relatives also live in our street so we took the dogs to them. Then I and her took Charlie to the vet. He has a big gash, multiple puncture wounds and is in shock. The owners of the attacker said they will pay the bill, and they had better. The woman who is related to the dog's owner went off at the owner of the attacker dog saying that her dogs are ALWAYS out (true) and that she needs to contain her dogs or get rid of them. The owner said she has tried everything but he keeps getting out. Yeah well you might want to try addressing the big gaping whole in the front of your yard first - its called SHUTTING THE GATE. She says she has tried everything but her gate is always open while the dogs are always out being menaces. Not good enough. Hope little Charlie pulls through and that the owners of the aggressive dog pay the bill. The vet has put him on fluids for the shock and antibiotics and will assess the wounds further and treat them tomorrow. Unfortunately Charlie and his sister Lola were also out of their yard but they had dug out as a one off to try to get to their owners kids who were at the relatives house. Whereas the large dogs are out ALL the time and all the neighbours have an issue with it. However, all the dogs were out so I'm not sure how the law works there but I sure will be reporting it in writing. I am one of only 3 houses in our street who keeps their dogs in their yard and on a leash when out the front.
  15. My Lola girl is 4 years old, going on 5 this year. She doesn't want to get her precious feet wet or cold so she will hold on for as long as possible and I have to command her to go out eventually. Chester my boy on the other hand runs out into the rain as if it isn't there. Stands there in it getting soaked and looking at me like "poor me, look how wet and pathetic I am?" We have a little puppy here at the moment and we are toilet training him. We had a lot of rain and he too didn't want to go on the wet grass. I took him out on lead and used an umbrella. We both got wet a lot but he soon learned that when he goes we get to get out of the rain and play. We also used the opportunity to practice blow drying. He now LOVES the dryer and can't wait to get under it. His toilet training is going really well now, he will go on command and we don't need the lead so much now.
  16. So maybe I should get all three then?! There mustn't be a stand out between those three then? Just a matter of preference. I have read rave reviews on the pro-k9 but to me it doesn't look that amazing… I have to say, I use the hinged ones the most. The quick draw one is nice and simple but the most expensive and hard to find. The premier one is just as good. I only have a few left and my supplier is out of stock with no ETA and I have heard rumours that they aren't making them anymore, which I hope is not true!
  17. I use and sell the doggone magnetic rapid rewards pouch, the premier pouches and I have one of the QuickDraw ones from Pro K9. I like all of them. I don't like the black dog ones.
  18. I have a little toy poodle pup staying with me at the moment and of course it is bucketing rain. We both got wet, but he finally went and I have never been so happy to see a dog take a pee. The longer you go between raising puppies yourself the easier it is to forget that there is some hard work involved. I think I need to get puppies here more often to keep reminding me! :D
  19. I agree with what everyone else has said too :) Just on the same topic, how about if it's raining? Some pups don't like the feel of the wet grass and it puts them off. Would you just keep standing there with an umbrella over the two of you?
  20. Makes me want to move countries. I don't know of anywhere as dog friendly as what I have heard about the US and the UK. I'm in Queensland and while there are a few spots where people take their dogs out more often, I don't know many places at all where they are dog friendly enough to let them into shops etc. It's a shame - dogs would be better behaved if they had access to more places.
  21. I would have the eye removed and remove the majority of the pain with it.
  22. Wow if you look at the narga fb pagethere is a photo of a black lab with neck damage and its saying it is caused bywearing a studded collar! From the studds heating up in the sun....
  23. Jan is in the wide bay area an hour or so south of me, i think maryborough. Anyhow i think i might have met her at a dog event once but i do see her pop up on dog related pages on fcebook a fair bit. There are a few in her group, they are animal activist types. I wouldnt want to be associated with their group from what i have seen so far. Keyboard warriors is the term that comes to mind. She also has a page called the pet army which i looked at and did not join. The views they push dont match the majorityof views you see on dol yet they want to change laws to fit in with standards they set based on their own opinions Eta. She is at woodgate.
