ReXy

i am so sorry for your loss,, RIP big fella and look down on your mumma.. taken way to soon but ending your pain run free over the bridge

rest easy old girl, what a swetheart..

small offcuts of any meat leftover from dinner during the week i bag up and freeze, this could be sausage, steak ,chicken, roast meat , hot dogs. cold meats such as ham chicken loaf etc cheese is always good, they loveee roast chicken i use tiny pieces smaller than you pinky finger nail, and i have a stafford so a little goes a long way for random treats at home i use liver, small pieces of biscuit, apple, carrot cheerios dogs lovee them, or whatever im eating always seems to be the fav..lol good luck with your pup and look forward to pics.

yes have heard of diluting malaseb and heard it works very well.

aww what a good boy he was and such a gentleman, i get a huge kick when people say to me how well behaved and how gentle and great my dog is. ok hes not fantastic at obedience( hes getting tehre) but i know he will be a well mannered dog, i have had so many comments from the instructors at club saying how proud they are of him and that he is very social and well mannered, with my breed i think its important because of the bsl crap etc.

ohh dear poor girl, sending healing ibes to her hope she makes a speedy recovery and is at least more comfortable now

i think socially acceptable dogs is first and formost.. being that they dont jump all over people snatch food etc, i try as best as i can to teach my dogs manners around others and to respect others space be it human or dog obedience isnt just having as my husband says alphabet letters near your name..lol i like obedience its more a social thing for me i dont care if i never get titles its more for fun and interest obedience for me is having a well mannered social dog who is enjoyable to have. who cares if i never get that left turn right turn down pat, i have stopped worry about that for now ,and am just enjoying my social happy little dogs. if obedience classes become a stress then we will stop going. they for the most part are obedient at home have no dominance issues and are well mannered. thats more than i could of ever hoped for in my dogs.

i made up a batch for ella the bull mastiff girl here. you could see her spine and all ribs, now you cant see her spine she has more covering her ribs but stilla little visable. .. satin balls rock, they love it.

ohh im sorry shoey,, rip little betty keep all others safe and be their friends

id also recomend a wire crate 2 of my dogs are crate trained and have wire crates i did have a canvas crate more for traveling in car etc,, but he ate through it this was a small fluffy dog not the stafford. have had no problems with the wire crates. you can put covers over them and make them cosy and comfy and they will last for ever.

whats croydon like as a club now, that was my very first obed club with tessa my ACD. i was 16 then..lol longgggg time ago..lol .. good luck to all entered.. :D shoey are u entering???? have i missed something??? hmmm

put it on the end of a knife and poke it in there...lol then add bickies treats cheese chopped left over meats,, raw mince, anything they love. mine love their kongs frozen in summer is great too..

i feed mine home brand sardines in vegie oil 5 or 6 times a week.. iga brand 45 cents a tin... they love it, altho do have fishy breath for a little while.

what a special boy so sorry for your loss RIP big man

i used to use advocate and then every few months use drontal, as i didnt trust the wormer part..lol i now use sentinal

lol mine is one of those.. he would lift his paw, and auto sit.lol i was thinking do i start different commands, but then i though i would confuse myself and him more. i dont intend to do full on showing so for me it doesnt really matter i guess

lmao should i consider my dog to be good then, he will sit and lift his paw and wave to the judge as they go past, who said sad for exam? he thinks its sit for exam them politely offer his paw for shaking now whats wrong with that in the show ring huh..

lol i had to ask 1 of the young men stacking the shelf one day to get me some sardines , they changed them to a higher shelf and lil shortass me couldn reach, he passed me 1 tin, i said ohh no i want 10 tins, he had the funniest look on his face and then said to me i dont know how u can eat that stuff, i siad i dont its for the dogs,, he then asked couldnt i find them i the dog isle..lol, i said,, ohh no i dont feed dog food to them yuk.. hubby gets annoyed. when he shops with me, if theres none on the shelf i have to ask someone, he says just get another brand.. lol (i buy no name 45 cents each tin) i go nooo i wont pay nearly 2.00 a tin lol not when i can get them for 45 cents and i by 10 or so at a time..

same here only the BM foster girl is on optimum,, and hers are small and 2 a day

my new foster girl is on large breed optimum and i have to say for a cheap supermarket food its not bad. cost $29.00 for 8 kilo bag, which she gets dry with sardines or egss and veg in morning then either lamb flaps chicken frames or any assortmet of brisket bones or whatever is going cheap.. she needs a little weight on.. i buy all the redcued bits and pieces as well as boxes of chicken frames the checkout chicks must wonder what the heck i feed my family, with 12 or so tins of sardines at 45 cents each lamb necks , beef bones, chicken frames,hearts or kidney, lamp flaps or of cuts, all the reduced bits of meat are usually around 2 or 3 dollars sometimes cheaper. they do well on this. then i buy all the reduce packaged fruit and vegies for the birds. all really cheap. and nothing wrong wwith it at all.. they seriously must think im a cheap skate

ohh god shoey i had no idea i just saw this now, what a horrible day for you, im so sorry thinking of you all it has been a shity day,, i got a call from my best friend who found her beloved cat tilly on the road who was 14 years old and hit by a car she looked very much like your nettie, maybe she needed a friend to take with her to the bridge, but dont worry to much, my dodgey boy loved cats and will look after them both i am so so so sorry shoey hugs to you all if theres anything we can do were here R.I .P Netty and Tilly forever in the hearts of those who love you.

i have the 12 dollar one too. i love it, i have done 2 dogs and battery still lasted, and i have used it with cord in as well and it worked fine. heaps of attachments , have done heap of engraving and sanding with it too for the bird cage breeding box..lol. for 12 dollars you cant go wrong, i was told bunnings always have them. lol my 10 yeah old son is fasinated with it to and did the same on his nails..lol
