I'd own up, take the rat over and ask if it is their's, they will respect you more if you do that. Accidents happen, they should understand that a rat has little hope against a dog, just try to be compassionate to them and be honest

My dogs are the same, i trust them with my life There's got to be more to it, but once again the media and po-po will twist and contort the story to suit themselves

Although the owner sounded rude and agressive there is little to report

WHAT?? i think you better get him checked out, he could have a serious problem. LOL Its great that he's really warmed to goldies, they are hard not too, now just introduce him to a few other breeds and he'll falll in love with them all. My father hated horses, i then got an australian pony, after that it was australian ponies or nothing, unfortunalty my legs were a bit long and ponies don't do too well in b grade showjumping. I soon bought a TB, dad now loves all horses and he's dangerous to take anywhere near them, if he had it his way we would have them in our back yard (his argument is that our yard is 3 acres), he has a serious soft spot for mistreated animals, i'll never forget the day at a show when we had an extra in our float as dad and a friend bought a horse for $50 as it was being bashed by his owner. And thats from someone who hates horses. Hang in there, your hubby will come around

Signed, Jed got me too, i thought it was going to be a scared dog injured while running from fireworks. Bring back capital punishment or send them to a remote island, they do it to refugees who are looking for a new home, so why not those who deserve it. Posted on FB and another website

I've done similar with Peg when it comes to food, she has to wait for a signal before she can eat, I also do it with treats. Try a noise, maybe a squeaky toy, or slap your thigh, it might be enough to break his focus and bring it back to you. Peg has simlar issues with getting distracted, mainly recall, 9 out of 10 times she will come back no dramas but that 1 time she ignores me, I found a squeaky toy in my pocket snaps her attention back to me, i squeak, call/whistle, then reward with a piece of chicken, it has worked really well with her.

Thats great news, I hope that you and Miss T both recover from your ordeal, but by the sounds of it DOL have it sorted. Now seeing as I'm a little far away I'll prescribe my own medication for both of you, hugs chocolate hugs chocolate cake, hugs chocolate milk hugs chocolate.

Perfect example of profit being more important than safety, when will people learn that extinction is forever. This shows the compassion and empathy of elephants, they are beautiful animals, often more humane than humans. RIP poor little elephants

Fantastic news

Unfortunatly common sense isn't that common anymore. We as dog owners have a resposibility to control and train our dogs, what i can't understand is why some parents can't seem to do the same with their kids, it might sound like i'm a total kid hater (i'm kidless and happy about it), but really some people need to use their brains, its obvious that they are in a dog park, keep your kids, food, nanna's out of harms way, it's not that hard.

As its been said working dogs want to work. Horses are the same, try getting 800kg of race horse to go to work if it doesn't want to...you won't, i've tried, failed sent him to a dressage home and he's now a fat, happy very spoilt champ, the bugger gets around in rugs that are worth more than my car. I personally think the RSPCA is getting further and further out of line, it seems that they are now more interested in making lives difficult and becoming nazis than doing what they advocate, they constiantly complain and campain for money, yet they seem to be spending it on unjust causes such as these. Is there anyone on here that is in Canberra that can make it to the senimar?

Not a welcoming thought, goodbye dog parks, trials, shows. Whats next, are they going to try and stop bees for producing honey?

cat enclosures are the way to go, my boyfriend made a portable/colapsable enclosure for his cat as he travels for work, Steelo loves it, she knows the Monday morning it's in the ute (the ute has a conopy) and she then has her run to go in during the week, he took her to the beach in it last week, and then Friday its come home and make me sneeze all weekend

I'm with you on oh oh. The training of my dogs, Peg especially has improved her life incredibly, if it wasn't for training she'd be sleeping outside in a kennel instead of infront of the fire for one example. I'm beginning to think that the RSPCA is getting more and more out of hand.
