Guest Pandii Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Congrats on rescuing a dog in need, he looks so much happier now Just been at the pool, soooooo nice to swim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tez Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Yep..Tim and Tanya...he is an ugger but we LOVE him! Bit of an eventfull day...I got home at lunch time to find the shire rangers card in my door and little Eddie in a part of the backyard he had no business in (The fenced in carport area). I rang the local ranger and he was lovely...told me that Fast Eddie was seen down Manifold st (main road) and picked up by one of the shire girls who baby sat him while the ranger worked out who he belonged to. Apparently he sat in the office resting his head on this lady's knee!!. The ranger actually came back to my house to have a chat. He said that he scanned his micro-chip and found out his details in Mortlake, rang her and found out she had given him to a lady who gave him to the R.S.P.C.A. He then rang them. They said 'What the!!! We only gave him a new home yesterday. The ranger then drove Eddie back to our place and put him in the backyard with 'The other black Dog(Jane). He then walked back to his car out the front to find Eddie sitting there looking up at him He felt sure that Eddie had squeezed through a slatted fence at the side of the house! No fine...thank god...its $170...but needless to say we wired up those slats with chicken wire including a over hang at the top and wire tent pegged to the ground. We went out the front and called and called him and while he looked keen to join us, he couldn't get out..PHEW! Tomorrow I will let the dogs in the house with the radio on, and leave work an hour early and sit outside and see what happens. PLEASE keep your fingers crossed for us!

tlc Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Oh Tez, thats aweful, good luck for tommorow, hope the escapee stays put!! At least Jane didnt follow him. Keep us posted. Tanya, not sure where we can go walking May be Albert park, will see what the day brings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tez Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Yep...abit nervous about tomorrow....I hope he stays put! It must be so hard for him with all the changes he's been through in such a short time. Owner to lady to shelter to vets to us! All in probably less than a week. I don't like the thought of keeping him in the laundry when we are away but he obviously has some anxiety when left alone as he dosn't try to escape when we are here. I think he just needs to learn he's home....cuddled up beside me on the bed as I type. Sweet sweet little man with a coat so ruff you could scrap paint off with it!!!!!

Tim & Tanya Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Yeah off lead park sounds good... Have you been to Thunder Point lately? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlc Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 (edited) Last Thursday, it was great, the dogs had a ball as we haven't been up there for ages, probly a bit too snakey for my lot now that the weather is a little hotter (apart from today ) is it ok if I txt you Sunday if I ican definatly catch up as Seans mum is still in Respite and we might have to head over there if we dont get there Saturday. RJ can more than likely make Sunday too, I am heading to her place tonight so Ill find out for sure, not sure if she has been here? Hey Tez, how did Fast Eddie go today?? All good I hope?

tez Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Well Fast Eddie managed it AGAIN but was sprung in the act by my sister! Digging under the fence...so while I'm away, Leigh will be laying down wire mesh along the fence line and fortifying it with rocks. I'm hoping that now he is castrated, the need to roam will lessen but I'm new to male dogs so will have to research further. He stayed at home most of the day...it was just late afternoon. Other than that, he is a really nice boy...gentle and sweet and loves being with us. Don't think he has had any training as he has no idea but we will get to that in good time. He is easy to walk...no pulling. In fact, bar his one vice, he is a really easy dog to have. Poor Jane keeps shoving toys in his face and can't quite work out why he's not interested! He's very good natured with her...Bless him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlc Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Well sounds like he is just right in every way apart from his great escapes, wish I had some advice but apart from leaving him inside or crating him I dont really know? What about a containment system this could be an option if it continues but I know they are pricey and it is early days. Im sure once he settles in he will be fine. It is also only early days after his desexing to so that could have something to do with it also. His terrier nature could be playing a part or the fact that he just wants human company. At least with Leigh being off now for a while he will be ok with someone there. Keep us posted. Any more photos yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pandii Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 TEZ, if you need some ideas on containing a escapee let me know Heres hoping once he settles he will stop, but he could be an escape artist that may of been why he ended up at the pound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlc Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 (edited) Hey Guys, just a heads up in case anyone is interested, Meat barn had mince for $1.99 a kilo today they were selling it in 5 kilos lots as a minimum purchase.

Guest Pandii Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 TLC, any idea if the meat was heart smart or lean mince, thanks. Cant walk tomorrow, got a great BBQ to go to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J... Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 TLC, any idea if the meat was heart smart or lean mince, thanks. I think it was just standard mince Pandii - heard the ad on the radio. Be worth giving them a call though just in case. Where's our nice sunny beach weather gone - would be nice to get some sunshine rather than just grey...

Guest Pandii Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 Thanks Jess, not real keen on standard mince, its a bit yuck, even the dogs cant have it No idea about the weather, it may come back one day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlc Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 The mince is just standard, i just got it for the dogs they have it as part of thier diet, so it will keep me going for a while, dont see standard mince much under $5 a kg these days so I stocked up.
