Hi, Try www.podsforpets.com.au they are well made and the middle bit comes out so it will fit in the washing machine and they have removable covers so you can pick and choose. :)

What a cat, amazing!!

Thank you all, I will get on the phone tomorrow :)

You are awesome, thank you for being... wonderful :)

Hi, I know there is a pinned topic about Pet Friendly Accommmodation but some of it is out of date and I am not sure how close anything is to the Hume so there is lots of googling involved. Soooo....... I though maybe some fellow DOLers might know. I am heading to the Blue Mountains in July and have accommodations there but it is a long drive and I think it would be better to break it up both on the way there and home. I will be travelling with my two dogs who are both crate trained. Thanks in advance :)

It is something I need to sort out for my living pets, along with the rest of the will stuff! All my past pets who now reside in wooden boxes, will be opened and their ashes will be put at my feet so we will never be apart. At this rate it will be very strong men carrying my coffin as it will weigh a tonne with all the pets I have had :D

I can't add anything just wanted to say what a cutie :)

I want them all...... how cute are they :) :)

Excellent news

Glad to hear he ok too. What a beautiful looking boy. :)

They are beautiful and everyone looks settled. Could not agree more Staff'n'Toller. Awesome Kanati Edited: due to stutter typing

Great news, thank you to everyone involved :)

Thanks ... Bianca.a I was asked this afternoon and, as of this morning there was only 4 that had somewhere to go. I hope you are right. Will follow up now. thanks

Hi, Hoping there may be some people who can help. A GSD has died during c-section birth of 11 puppies yesterday. 4 have gone to a nursing bitch but the other 7 are without. If anyone can help, please PM me with your contact details and location and I will pass on to the relevant party. Thank you

Well it worked :) The owner fed the dog on the ramp and played ball back and forth in the hall, forcing the dog to cross the ramp, back and forth by placing chairs beside it so there was no other option. She did this for 3-4 days. We put it up on some bricks inside today, then moved to outside at mid calf height, then knee height then into the 4wd, all initally using the ball then nothing but words of encouragement :)

How did my dog get it's name..... I gave it to him Sorry couldn't help myself... Over the years I have just throught of names I like, come up with a short list, then once I see the puppy pick the one that suits the best :)

I think he just doesn't know what to do, will be checking it out over the weekend and have a better idea then. Thanks for the tip on rubbing the hocks Helen, haven't heard that one before.

Thanks for the tips :) She doesn't want to force the dog but rather have the dog happily going up and down the ramp as opposed to jumping in and out.

Hi, Owners dog has been leaping in and out of the car for 6 years and needs to teach him to go up and come down a ramp due to health reasons. He was "highly trained in obedience", but this has lapsed due to the owners injuries, he has zero food drive but loves his ball. All efforts to date i.e. guiding up with collar, enticing with ball have not worked. He is being fed on the ramp whilst it is on the ground to get him more familar with it. I am thinking about keeping the ramp on the ground, using barriers (bringing them closer together slowly) and enticing him through using the ball. Then gradually lifting one end of the ramp and putting a platform at the end and then teaching him to go back down using the ball. Time is of the essence so if anyone has any other ideas on how this can be tackled, it would really be appreciated. TIA :) Edited to include more up to date information :)

So.much.reading. and it hasn't even started

Unfortunately the owners are honest people and gave their details, paid money towards medical expenses then gave their version of the story to the council without knowing how serious the situation was. If they just used better terminology to at least get it down to menacing dog they could have kept their old, arthritic dog for a few more years. (not so old and arthritic that it should be put down though). They are shattered and cannot provide the containment part of the dangerous dog requirements. The reason the council gave was that the dog caused serious injury to another. I have always hated dog parks now I think they should all be closed if this kind of thing can happen...... Will get on to the suggested contacts first thing in the morning (thanks) but I don't think they have a hope as the act says once declared it cannot be revoked. What a sad, ludicrous state Victoria has become....

Thanks Fuzzy82, good to know :)

Yes Teekay, I kind of feel the same, signed up and then another $50. Sounds like we will be disadvantaged as a result.....

Hi, Is it necessary to get the crate games dvd and the book? Not that it would get here in time from the US.... Just been checking some other forums and the feedback wasn't so great (It took 2 hours to show you something you could pick up in 5 mins??)? TIA :)
