Thanks WiW! Will definitely try that one. (trailer is a Toledo).

Hi all. I have recently purchased my first dog trailer and have converted it to have a roof top tent on top. We headed off camping for the weekend, which obviously entailed a bit of dirt road driving. I'm sure my poor babes would have been bathed in dust. To be honest, it could have been far worse, but I still felt I should have provided them with dust masks. Does anyone have any suggestions regarding keeping the dust out of the trailer so the pups can breathe easy pleeeeeease?

Probably too late for you lol, but nope not a tick area up there. :) I'm in the process of moving back to the Mid North Coast region and am really worried about ticks. I am also worried about the chemical overload that is required to keep the little blighters at bay. I generally try to work along the minimalistic/natural side of things when I can and hate the thought of pumping all that crap into or over my dogs! Does anyone have any more natural remedies that they can recommend? Also, re the tick collars, do they still have that yukko chemical smell etc these days? I used to tend to not want to really pat my dogs when they have them on Thanks in advance :)

:cry: A friend contacted me with regards to Baz's passing just recently. I had no idea until then. Fly free gorgeous Baz. You were truly one in a million and I am so very honoured to have played a part in you finding your way home! B&R you have all had time to adjust to not having Baz around, but I'm sure you are still missing him. Sending you 's. Thank you for giving Baz the home he well and truly deserved!

Now that is what rescue is all about!!!.... way to work together everyone! What a gorgeous boy Bentley is!!! So freaking fantastic, seriously!!! :D :D :D :

Woweeeeeeee what a transformation. Way to go everyone!!!

They are both totally awwwwwwwwwwwwwww worthy!!!

Nawwwwwww look at her now!!! I'm even more in love (if that is possible)! thank you soooooooooooooooo much for springing Dulcie to safety! I (and I'm sure a few others on here) will forever be in your debt!

Beautiful babes. Hope their forever homes are just around the corner!

Love those updates!!! Way to go guys! And way to go SAM!!!! Any pics??? :p

I happened to overhear a conversation yesterday that 'might' help... Pet & Aquarium Warehouse in Essendon have a card for people who do bird sitting. They mentioned that they often have birds dumped on them and they possibly take surrenders at times... I don't know the name or number of the people, but if you give the Essendon store a call I'm sure that they could give the name and no on the card... PAW's no is 9374 1444

Wed - this is all part and parcel of responsible rescue in my mind!! :)

Oh YAY way to go boys!!! Dulcie's such a gorgeous girl!!!... I'm sure she will be all bright and shiny new soon!

Have discovered this thread too late and haven't read the whole lot. Please forgive me indigirl pretty much sums it up for me.

Awww Dulcie is such a gorgeous girl, as are her bubs!! Sad that some crossed the.bridge, but sounds like it may have been a blessing. Any updated pics of Dulcie now? ;)

There is also GSD Rescue :)

Thanks Boronia. The flier says that BMW will cover any dog up to the age of 9... so I'm guessing they're the ones for me by the sounds. :laugh:

Thanks SnT :)

Ha! Bron lost his name tag the other day, so I ordered one of the Bowwowmeow tags. It arrived today along with a flyer for their pet insurance!!! :D It doesn't look too bad to (not that I know anything :laugh:) Anyone use them? Bowwow Insurance

Thanks for that Mel! :-)

Also, don't get a Rottweiler if - You're not confident in establishing and maintaining leadership - You're not willing to socialise your dog - You're not willing to do at least a basic level of obedience training - You don't like your dog leaning on you, hitting you with his foot, and generally being very interactive Just replace Rottweiler with German Shepherd as they are also like this! Or any large breed really :)

I LOVE Badrap!!! they freaking rock!! What I would do to be able to go over and spend some time with them in their program!!! Me too :D That's one of my life goals - to go over there and work with them for an extended period of time! Ohhhh yeahhhhhhhh baby!!!

I wasn't meaning that I expected them to cover everything etc, just worried that it would be an excuse for them to knock back everything (thus waste my money). Was pet insurance even around 8 years ago??? If it was, it was far from normal. TBH I've always been more than willing to foot the bill myself. Thesedays it seems that vet's prices are being plumped up nicely thanks to insurance becoming more common and 'real' people not actually having to foot the bill... thus they are becoming less and less affordable.

I LOVE Badrap!!! they freaking rock!! What I would do to be able to go over and spend some time with them in their program!!!

pits! I had a gorgeous girl years ago and still miss her to this day! I will defend them (and any other breed getting a bad rap) to the ends of the earth and back.
