I've used the salmon canadae. Our two were in great condition but they had toxic farts and their poo wasn't too great, soft and huge amounts of it..

My girl loves watermelon and mango skins and custard apples... actually I don't think there's anything from our kitchen that she won't eat..

Our amstaff boy was very much the same at that age. No hands, feet, pant legs or jumper sleeves were safe. Practicing NILIF helped a lot, it wasn't instant but by 16 weeks I wasn't getting nipped anymore and I haven't had any more jumpers or pants ruined. When ever we were nipped, dozer went straight in the laundry for a time out until he calmed down. Oftwn he'd have 4 or 5 trips in a row until he realised that he got no cuddles until he wasn't putting his mouth on us. Now at 6 months old he's a very different dog.

Where to start... Our boy rolling around on his back making the funniest growly noises. The zoomies our girl does in the back yard which include jumping over our amstaff boy, the clam pool, their huge water bucket or anything else in her way. The two of them when they get ice cubes, especially Dozer when he proudly prances away with his prize ice cube and it melts and falls out of his mouth and then he just looks puzzled. And the two of them racing around going nuts looking for the dog whining from the tv ad for haunted.

Best comment of the thread. But, in all honesty. I'd much prefer to have a dog or a cat carrier sitting calmly on a seat instead of on the floor where they're possibly going to pee on merchandise (or all over the floor in my boys case, he really loves them pats from the vet nurse)

Naaaaw. What an absolute cutie!

Wow that bed looks amazing. I can't wait till costco opens it's doors in QLD.

Neither of my two are too bothered by storms. But they both get a little bitchy in the lead up to a good storm, and we tend to have a couple of squabbles before a big one. But they're both fine during the storms and have to be forced to come inside instead of playing in the rain and the mud

I wash my two in a shell pool in the yard. Our boy dozer will happily splash, dig and generally be a loon in his little pool. When it's bath time, he puts on the breaks and doesn't want a bar of it. Winter time it'll probably be a trip to the hydrobath if they need a bath in that time

We've got dog loving neighbours on one side who we're good friends with, so we check in with them regularly to see if our two are making too much noise. We do try and limit our girls barking, since she likes to talk with the neighbourhood dogs at 5am

The mt gravatt greencross has two vets. One is the bird specialist, who also does normal vet work and a second vet, who is also quite nice, but in my opinion not as good as the other vet. And I've also heard fantastic things about the vet at Greenslopes.

Whoa! Thats so cheap for avantix!

Dog Snobs always have some great points..

Oh my! So many wants. I'd be happy to settle with an ourdoor handheld sprayer setup.

Love is puppy cuddles, the paw to the face is a precious part of that

Dozer sleeps in the bed (for the moment), Lucy sleeps on the floor next to our bed and then jumps up for cuddles in the morning.

We've trained our dogs to wait for a release cue from day one. We've got one dog who is perfect with waiting for a release cue to eat, sometimes I even have to tell him twice that he's allowed to eat. Our pound dog is still learning and she has some resource guarding issues were working on. I think it's a great way to help enforce good doggy manners and teach patience, it's also very rewarding to see the change in a staffy staring at his food to watching me walk across the room, waiting for his cue to eat

I take my two the dog park daily. It's only missed if one is sick.. They usually get an hour or so in the morning before work and after work is on lead walks and a short training session each. I would prefer if Dozer, our amstaff boy had better recall, but 9 times out of 10 he'll race back to us when we call Lucy, our rspca girl (lurcher mix of some sort), who has near perfect recall. We find if we haven't taken them to the park they just have too much pent up energy and spend the evening terrorising us with OTT kisses.

I've always been under the impression that having a dog loose in the car would lead to a charge for having an "unsecured load" if the police officer was feeling like sticking by the book. I was also informed of loose dogs being a fineable offensive by my father, who was a QLD police officer for 20 years, and it was/is his pet hate so to say.

Got my OH and the in-laws trawling through the RSPCA website looking for a sister for my boy. Unfortunately the girl I originally had my heart set on has gone to a new home already

My OH has done the same thing. Usually he'll bypass the toilet if he's been drinking and go in the backyard. And of course Dozer wants to know what he's doing and sticks his head in the stream. Poor pup doesn't get to sleep with us those nights

Naaaaw. That's precious. I'm tearing up

I think that could be the case.. My looking at the rspca site today may very well lead to a trip to Toowoomba next week if the girl I have my eye on is still there next week..

I do it every day or so.. Today was a cruel exercise, as I found the RSPCA have $99 adoptions. The boys at work were yelling at me to get off the rescue websites.. :laugh:

"I don't like pit bulls, they just don't have a friendly face and they scare me." But somehow the person was ok showering my Amstaff boy with attention I just don't get it, they're so similar in appearance (some may say close to identical)..
