  1. Jugiong is lovely. We fish there in summer and it's green and pretty friendly. But seriously pack warm. HUGE frosts headed this way next week.
  2. I forgot to close the cupboard door in the kitchen and then I hear it slam shut. The benefits of teaching the dog how to shut doors :D
  3. I haven't done any formal training but I've worked in shelter environments for years and learned from some very dog savvy people along the way. As I'm only volunteer I don't guarantee the dog's temperament or anything like that just do a few basic things to gauge a dogs reaction as it helps rescuers work out if they can take the dog or not. There are courses out there and they are very good and worthwhile. Cosmolo does an awesome course! The winter appeal is just asking for donations of coats and blankets for pound dogs :)
  4. I currently can't longterm foster as I live at home and am a student with lots of dogs. So I organised to become the temp tester and main promoter of dogs in my pound as no one was doing it. I also temp care and provide transport when I can and organise winter appeals. I also find dogs in need of homes in my local area and contact rescues to see if they can help out at all. There's always something to do.
  5. I've seen his home and he has a very nice set up and a very successfully run property, hence the reason i sold her to him. His dogs are very well treated and cared for and his vet really likes him. He has many dogs that no longer work but still live happily on his property anyway. it's a good home just unreliable in pick up apparently lol. But she's with him now and she loved him which was good. This dog wasn't mine, I was rehoming her for a friend and she was here for a few weeks whilst waiting for pick up
  6. OK she's just been picked up, but gosh it was annoying waiting. By all accounts he's a good home and has a good set up but just waiting and waiting. But that's an interesting question anyway. once you've sold a dog can you 'unsell' it if the buyer doesn't hold up their end?
  7. Just got a phone call, he's on his way, will be here in 20mins.

  9. I've just sold a dog for one of my friends and the guy was meant to pick her up last Sunday, he cancelled and said it would have to be next Sunday. He put the payment in my account but I haven't touched it yet. This Sunday came and there was no phone call but he just didn't show. I texted him to find out what was going on and he said Monday between 1-2, so i left work early and came home to wait and it's now 3 and nothing. I called him to let him know that if the dog isn't picked up by 5 this afternoon I am transferring the money back into his account and selling to someone else who has been waiting. Am I in my rights to transfer his money back and sell her to someone else if she isn't picked up for the third time? I'm sick of waiting and have said no to quite a few people because he'd already paid.
  10. We put them under general and depending on what's getting done and the individual dog we sometimes put in a local as well. I gave my boy science diet recovery last time as it was all I had and he bounced back fine but we normally recommend soft foods. Rarely dogs have trouble bouncing back.
  11. No. I just can't, I unconsciously love some more than others.
  12. I see BC/Kelpie and maybe a touch of JRT! I'm in love!
  13. just noticed it's in the wrong thread. oops
  14. Mine do it but it;s definitely worse if I respond and Maybe will start barking, so now I ignore them as I don't want her to annoy the neighbours.
  15. Is she inside or outside? How long are you gone during the day?
  16. I hope she appreciates it as much as this guy
  17. That's great news. I'll let my friend know, they were super concerned :)
  18. A friend alerted me to this post and thought I'd post it here. Would hate her to get into the wrong hands. 20/5/13 Akita df Tan & white microchipped & registered as April & is recorded as 16 months of age Found on M5 motorway Renbury Farm Animal Shelter 406 Bringelly Rd Austral NSW (near Liverpool) Tel - 9606 6118
  19. I've taught Torque to sit and bark at what she wants. She seems to only want the cat and food :laugh:
