thats lovely jules,, i am much the same after loosing my boy dodge in march.. it just hurts so much..

ohh no im so sorry for your loss all thos babies must be heartbreaking for you, ive lost 2 birds in the last few months it is horrible, first i lost my rainbow boy, then my ringneck.. ,they are great pets but things like this can just happen,, its horrible . a few years ago i had red rumps and cockatiels.and i lost the lot in just few days. good luck for the rest of the babies ill be praying for you and thinking of you. i just picked up my new baby this morning only 1 , but id love to get another aviary

run free jessie... watch over us sweet girl..

have taken both mine out a week or so after 2nd vacc , i belive socialisation to be very important, we went everywhere shops school market.. met lots of people of all different shapes and sizes.. along with many other things,,, trucks, busses , different textures on ground, noises. anything u can imagine...

RIP to the beautifull jakey boy. a brindle stafford boy who sadly went to the bridge last week he was playing out in his yard with his 7 year old human friend, when he got in the way of the kids games they tied him to the clothesline on his teather.. not long after the family had an emergency and had to go out. jake was left tied to the clothesline and the parents were not aware of where jake was when they came home just one and half hours later jake had perished and died in the hot QLD sun. all the family are devastated, the children are mortified to say the least BIG BIG lesson learnt here and such a horrible horrible way for their best friend to leave them.. so very sad... a chilling reminder that animals die in the heat no water no shade.. he did not hang or strangle himself, he simply dehydrated and perished in the hot hot sun.. ;) RIP jake best friend to many.. you didnt deserve to be taken run free little man and be safe with my boy dodge he will look after you now..

your 18 month old child is a baby... babys/children and dogs should never be left alone for any amount of time.. that cute lil pup is going to be one big dog soon... he needs to be taught also , what is acceptable and needs to know who is the leader of your pack.. please dont take this the wrong way. children need to also be taught how to behave around dogs. 18 months is not to youngt o teach your son.. good luck would love to see pics.

ohh look there is a pic of the said puppy in one of her posts.... hmm would be good to see some different action shots.

so sorry to hear this rip lil ones

id go with the sards.. or plain old martha gardners wool wash.. used to use it on the horse.and have done on dogs. and also your whitening shampoos, like glowhite etc..

i will make it back to WP.. soon one day i promise.. when hubbys not working or kids not sick,, or dogs dont have KC !!!! now that we have moved... was hoping to train at hastings tomorrow,, theres been no cough for a week..

i agree with the no vac foam i use it and its great.... altho i ahvent seen the pet one yet.? what colour tin is it in.. i will ahve to look for that one.

lol remy still does it at least once a day hes 7 months now,, he thinks that he needs to hold my hand or pants when i walk out the washing line..lol its the only time he does it..lol either that or hes saying no mum dont worry about the washing play with me...lol as gramps " dougie" said.. pups are pups , they will grow out of it

great news jodie

mine are fed, eagle pack, rmb,chicken carcas,fruit and veg, on alternate days, and go maybe twice a day

hmm interesting,, similar thing is happening at my place. toby has started some food agressive and snappy behaviours.. not sure if its the age or what.. or the need to compete now remy is older and they are competing for top dog status.? he does dominate remy. tries to steal food , gulps it down, and will start a fight to get to remys.. remy is a slow eater and will sometimes submiss to toby,, but if its one of his fav foods he will fight back. which is what im worried about..., i have taken away food bowls.. because toby claims ownership over all of them,. i feed them individually by hand.. NILIF make them work for it. i get the kids to feed as well.

treats praise, and lots and lots of praise.. as Tb said feed dinner time,, or just by hand heaps of treats,, pat her and touch her when she has it on reward her for everything.. take a few steps call her and praise her heaps.. she will get used to it eventually . the key is , persistance praise heaps of rewards and take it slowly with her, do it over and over thru the day, a few mins at a time

so sorry to hear the news about chevy,, what a dear old sole.. may he RIP... and be free at the bridge

what a shame and a horrible thing to tell you to do, grab the dog and shake the crap out of it... some peoples ideas of training a dog is beyond me.., horrible.... hastings is probably to far, they are a positive club and do offer agility havent yet had any problems with anyone there,, great club good luck i hope you find somewhere that can accomodate your needs...

i am so sorry for your loss, he was a beautifull boy and sounds like one very special and loved dog.. he will be forever in your heart and looking down on you, and looking after all our beautifull babies at the bridge.... run free beautifull boy...

my dogs are fruit eaters too,,, lovee their fruit they will eat just about anything....

im pretty sure they have a puppy class there wombat.. pup does have to have 2nd vacinations,,not sure what other requirments . i have been a member of westernport but that was 3 years ago and my dog then was 10 months old.. some things have changed for the better definatley its a good club... u also have the option of agility later on when the dog is old enough as well,, great grounds there..

RIP and run free maverick... poor baby...

good advice shoey,,, the crate is a wonderfull thing.. wouldnt be without one.. mine love their crates.. all i have to say is "bedtime" and they go running in.. lol they have learnt to open the doors if they are closed, not locked but just shut so cute..

altho it sounds as though you have the best behaved dog..lol he sounds very sweet, i can see how it could be a problem too..lol .. hopefully some experienced trainers here may be able to give u some tips..

RIP brave girl... Debbie
