I've had Greys who were fed whenever. I don't get home the same time each day and I won't feed if it's stinking hot until the sun goes down. Dogs won't eat until it's cooler and who wants manky food.

Awesome teeth

He was a stunning looking boy. RIP Toby

is factory farming a problem with cattle? Whenever I worked in pastoral areas of NSW all I saw was miles of cattle hanging out in paddocks. Seemed a pretty good life to me but I'm not clued in on these things so genuine question. I'd like to feed the dogs more roo, especially since we have a friend who goes shooting, but they just don't like it No hanging out in paddocks on a feedlot.

What a beautiful girl. Sorry for your loss.

Oh god that's just awful.

RIP Roxy. So sad.

She is gorgeous.

No.

I had a Border Collie, bred by a friend. I had him for about 10 months and rehomed him to a family with a teenage boy. We never bonded and I never really liked him all that much. He was just 'there'. I see two of his littermates regularly and they are doing well at trials and agility. I haven't thought about him for years.

yes TO

My why... my youngest is 12 months, given that our dogs live late teens, she'll probably outlive me.

I'm not planning on another dog.

I think that some people want to believe that their rescue dog has had a harder life prior to coming to them. It feeds their need to feel like they have done something great for the dog by adopting it, and are better owners than those the dog may have had previously. This is just human nature... and there's only something wrong with the notion if you allow the dog to continue inappropriate behaviours and use prior ownership as the crutch for doing so. One of my foster failures is disabled from a scar in her brain she incurred as a wee pup in an Aboriginal camp. Evidence shows that this scar is most likely to have been caused by something physical, rather than genetic. Personally I don't care that she walks funny or is a complete turd with a strong will - she is mine and I love her to death - and she is awesome at helping me raise other foster pups. She is also well behaved when out in public. Being involved in rescue has opened my eyes to exactly how many really nicely adjusted, healthy, and happy dogs can find themselves homeless - the actual number of "problem" dogs coming through rescue is not that large really. T. I fully agree many do read to much into behaviours. +1 I know the background of our 4 rescued dogs and their behaviours do not always give a good indication of their previous lives. Anyone seeing our little Chi x would think she'd been terrorised within an inch of her life. Fact is, she was idolised by her previous owner, went everywhere with him, shared his toast and tea for breakfast, was his companion for 9 years. She came to us when he died. She is not comfortable with strangers hence her cowering and shaking. She is a different dog when it's family.

Without.

I want to call a dog Bach.

That is, indeed, the most unusual name for a boy dog I've seen in a long time! I had a male cat called Gladys.

There's one dog who has a 'talking' role. (the scruffer)

This one is a corker.

What goat?
