Zia's Nuthouse

Always on the menu in the Nuthouse $2.60 a box from Preston market gets you 38 frames

Hi Becks, you make an excellent point with the anti-flea treatment. Now on to more important issues... since you are in the UK and obviously devoted to the Monarchy I am wondering if you wake up an sing "God save the Queen" or if you secretly hum "Deutschland uber alles" when MI5 and MI6 are busy working to hush up the latest Lady Di scandal Documentary? :D On a serious note, during WW1 the Brits, in effort to show how "patriotic" they were started to wantonly kill all German Breed dogs... and our beloved "Sachs-Coburg" family bebadged themselves as "Windsors" to sound English and not German. Of couse Queen Victoria, the most sacred of Monarchs, loved a mad Prussian... the plot thickens. Remember after WW2 in Australia how the GSD was "banned" until the 60's... and then had to be called the "Alsation"... another propagandist "rebadging" to allow acceptance from a ignorant public. Makes me mad thinking about how superficial people are, and how its the animals that need to suffer. As if they could help it that Churchill stuffed up at Gallipoli and sacrificed "Colonial" Aussies as his cannon-fodder... or that he started the first concentration camps in the Boer War to teach some European Farmers a lesson that he was "number one" - and yes civilians were deliberately starved and let to die in unsanitory conditions because the Dutch, French and other free-thinkers did not fear the red-coat and fought to keep their farms. And all the time fearless Winnie was carrying a German Mauser Pistol as his beloved Side-Arm. Hmmm... Can anyone spell "Hypocrite" ? Ummm that's not even the slightest bit funny, in fact its quite offensive. Now if you were new to this forum, the high horses would have came out, and you would have been abused into next week. So it's acceptable just because we all know you? And as stated, what the hell does it have to do with this original topic? *shakes head*

Yep plain brand sardines for mine about once a fortnight

I know what you're going through. My 3 year old, has two on his ears, and they have been identified as tumours. We don't know yet weather they are the "nasty or not nasty" ones. Kahn's were just how you described Mose's. Hard and when they were aspirated all that emerged was blood We are waiting on results too, so I wish you the very best of luck with Moses and hope it all is ok Zia and the nuthouse

Bingo!!! Preston market is where i get all my meat human and dog. Chicken frames are $2.60 for a box and I get about 25 frames in it. Chicken hearts 2 99 per kg, chicken necks 1 99kg. I get liver, flaps bones, mince, everything there. Very very cheap.

Rom whilst your posting is very valid and very true, it did come across as a tad dictatorial. The title being "Newbies take note". That sounds like an order to me, rather than a suggestion as it could have been. And let us all agree, that it's not always newbies that will challenge the professionals.

Fast him for a day. It won't hurt him and might make him appreciate his food more When you are eating, send him to his bed, or somewhere where he isn't in close proximity. Naughty boy food begging. I'm sure he will be fine My meal times are the same as Persephone's. Food begging isn't tolerated, even from the cat

Try putting their own poop in their holes. Works wonders for mine, they hate their own body waste :D I know it doesn't solve the cause though, but mine tried a few more holes, and gave up when I kept piling them up with their own poop :D

I where possible have all windows open and allow lots of fresh air through. I know you said incense burners make you feel ugh, and they do me as well. But did you mean Oil burners? I have one of them in every room, and use the gels rather than the oils, with the little tea light candles. I find they work great, and you can get the gels and oils, from the Reject Shop, or two dollar shops etc. I also have a spray bottle with Eucalyptus oil and water and spray that around the house regularly. Smells nice. One last thing you could try, is I have a vapouriser, you know for coughs etc? I use that all the time not just when we are sick. You can put eucalyptus or any essential oil you like. It helps breathing easier, and helps allergies, and leaves a great smell in the home

Yep same here sassy. Buckets for my two for washing and rinsing. And you're right we do use a few buckets lol. In the warmer weather, and before water restrictions of course we used the hose with the appropriate attachment Nozzle. The buckets are a bit harder work, but still very effective. The water from the buckets gets thrown on the dead lawn

good points. Anrthramorphism, can be argued in many more forms than training however. If you want to use the squirt bottle, or treats or smacking as an example thats fine but what about other things??? No a dog does not squirt another dog with a bottle, no they don't get treats either in the wild. The list is endless... Dogs don't get groomed in the wild. Dogs don't get toys in the wild. Dogs don't get prepared BARF in the wild. They don't get flea'd, or vaccinated or wormed. They don't have blankies and trampoline beds either. I could go on and on. If we can argue and relate about Anthramorphosising, then lets at least agree on the fact that the points are endless, and just not related to smacking, and training.

Thats right Hesapandabear Sometimes Myszka if it's that bad then you need a professional treatment done. My hubby is a pest control technician, and they do everything within the fenceline of your home, garages, gardens the lot. I know it costs more but it works

Well punter it has Julius on the can and their dry food is the same, so I'm guessing thats the brand? Maybe mine don't get the farts or lots of poops cause I only use the tinned as an additive, to add a bit more flavour and to mix their kibble with. I have a GSD and a Newf Kahn and Merlin

Just getting back to the original topic. I combine the Aldi canned food for my two, along with their raw stuff. I've found it to be fantastic. It's rich, with nice firm chunks of meat. Not everyones choice of course, but it doesn't go through mine, or make them fart. All the higher brand names of dog's food, I've found to go right thought mine. But the Aldi one doesn't. I dunno maybe I'm just lucky

You're very welcome
