wont play for me

Roova!!!! That looks incredible

Whoops. I totally didn't mean for this thread to go here. I dont condone the killing of any native animals and certainly dont support the inhumane dispatch of any pests either. I wasnt impressed with what he did, only his willingness to leave & recall.

Oh - I know of P'waff through facebook :) He's a cutie too :)

No. I certainly agree with that.

I'm glad he didn't bring it back for a game of tug blurgh I don't know. I'd love to know too. All my terriers have been true muts - foxie mixes and I don't know why he did this today. I think it might have been injured or old - he's never shown any interest before. My old girl couldnt have caught a cold she was hopeless... Anyhow.... I was super cross - but made a huge fuss of him dropping it on his way to bury it, coming to me and willingly going to his crate while I cleaned it up.

Im not - but Im impressed with his recall...

Lots of love to you and your pack :)

Oh. I knew he had some instinct - but yes. I suppose you're right. Im more amazed that "leave it" and "come" worked. Very glad I disnt have to wrestlle or chase for it!

My naughty little dog managed to catch himself a bird this afternoon (a tradie saw it). It was too late for the bird by the time I got to him... But... I am super proud of him - as he was on his way to bury it I was able to call him off. He dropped it and came to me when I asked him to.

LOL - Great photos. Happy birthday Miss Lola!

Ah! That's the one I was talking about. Forgive my laziness / ignorance - what's the difference? I'd be interested in one which let me check in and make sure he was still in the yard and I suppose track him if he P'eed off at the park (not that he's ever do that /sarcasm).

I saw a similar one the other day. Much smaller. Of course I can't find the link now...

Scottie has started fleaing his blankie too.... little odd bod....

Nothing to add. Just sending hugs & support

Basically an exercise / swiss ball :)

Oh - I totally forgot about the dog walker... LOL. I used to have one who was exceptionally reliable and came 2 x 1 hour - often kept him longer. He adored her - then we moved. Now I have the kid across the road. He's supposed to do up to 2 hours a week.... Sometimes (rarely) that's 4 x 30 mins. more often it's 45ish minute walks 2-3 times a week... it kind of evens out over the course of the fortnight ... He's an honest kid :)

It's a 50/50 thing. At my last house we had a bike path which was great to walk along but we had someone exposing himself there. So I quit that pretty fast - the up side was that I could drive to the tennis courts and play in the "extra light" around the courts for as long as we wanted to. Then we had a place where we had dog park with lights - so same thing. Felt safe, had light. Currently- no light but a very safe place and I just don't go places I don't feel comfy. Someone always knows where I am & I drive somewhere well lit if I am uncomfortable.

I'm doing 90 minutes each way + a 7 hour day at the moment. I'll preface this by saying Scottie has my parents at home but...for me... A typical week 5:45 -6:15 am out of bed - quick lap around the block. If its going to be hot I get up earlier and we go play fetch. 7:00 - leave home *I'm told lots of fetch and cuddles happen here*** 18:30 - 19:00 - get home between 18:30-20:30 - cuddles on back verandah, walk - long if I have the energy or we go hang out at the park. Saturday AM- Long free play session in the park Longer walk in the PM Sunday 2 x longer walks + usually one session of "dog school" per week- Nose work is finished for the year and we've dropped out of pet obedience but usually we do a 1 hour class. + multiple cuddle sessions when I can - eg I'll take a cup of tea or notes to read out side and just hang with him (he's not allowed in the house where we're staying).

I just saw on facebook that Richard & Family have a new puppy - Kelpie called Clancy. Sorry I cant link - I'm at work and don't log into FB from work computers.

Is this him? http://www.rawmeatybones.com/ http://www.rawmeatybones.com/petowners.php

tough name for a tough dog *ahem* "Mr. Wiggles"

Clearly it works for them :)
