I wagged training tonight :p I've been trying to study. Haven't gotten as far as I'd like!

I think all of us did

It might have been a good thing that we did wag since I hear 2 cars were broken into and things stolen - so just a reminder - lock your cars when at K9.

Also 2 agility dogs back from the Susan Garrett seminar in NSW are at Murdoch with tick bites Fingers crossed they are both OK.

Poor pups - hope they get well soon, what symptoms do the tick bites give? Being from africa I have no idea about all the diseases here in oz. Dogs and horses in RSA get billary from tick bites there. The region we came from was rampant with it as there were loads of ticks, lucky for me none of my horses or dog picked it up. Horses and dogs who test positive for the disease being in their blood are not allowed to be exported.

Did you wag too, Ptolomy?

Stupid thieves ;)

All this talk of ticks and stuff makes me too scared to move away from Perth, even though I've considered it on numerous occasions! Like last night again ;)

Where do you want to move too??

Not sure. If it weren't for the lack of dog trials and jobs, Tasmania is looking enticing. I could afford the large property I seek

Ack - that's awful - do hope they pull through. Tick poisoning is just horrible.

These would most likely have been paralysis ticks - really nasty critters found pretty much all along the east coast - but worse the further north you go. Whenever I go up to Camp Tailwaggers or somewhere like that, I have the dogs on multiple tick prevention meds - spot on and tablets, and still try to check them every day - not easy with coated dogs (BCs).

Here are a few links with some more info - will probably persuade you not to move over east ;) - at least not to the coast. Tasmania is not too bad - there are some paralysis ticks, but very few in comparison with the total tick population, so we don't use preventatives - just vigilance in summer months.

on humans and animals

Healing vibes for the sick dogs. :p

Do it - we need more triallers - and we can weird you oout even more by actually copying you, instead of just thinking of you the way JulesP did :p .

And hot here is nowhere near as frequent or as hot as WA.

Whereabouts in Tassie are you and are there dog trials held all over Tas?

Only copy me if you want to bomb out quite regularly

Oh and I like the hot, Tas would probably be too cold for me!!

I'm just south of Hobart - trials (when they're held) are Hobart, Launceston and Ulverstone (NW coast) obedience - when they are held; agility - Hobart and Launceston basically. A couple of the clubs will be holding Rally O when that gets going. But it's only about 3 and a half hours from Hobart up to the NW coast.

Only copy me if you want to bomb out quite regularly

:p Don't need to copy you for that - can do that bit all by myslef - it's the neat handling I want to copy .

Oh and I like the hot, Tas would probably be too cold for me!!

Not a problem today - over 30 and humid down here - but yes - could be a bit cold - depending where you lived. Hobart rarely gets below freezing. Summer days can be nice and warm, but coll off in the evening usually - sea breeze.

I want to move to Tassie to :p . My sister just came back from a week in Tassie and wants to buy land there, at least 20 acres, so I could build a house there to. She said they liked a place called 'crackpot' . The weather suits me and the dogs just fine .

Yep, I'd move to Tasmania if it wasn't for all the family being here. Beautiful place and reasonably priced R/E. Don't think there would be alot of issue with ticks there, too cold for part of the year.

Quick give him my address, would love someone to rock up with a whole cow to fill the freezers. J (sister) was upset with me when I looked at all the calves in the fields and said one of them would be a good size for my freezer. She said "but look at those sweet little faces, how could you"and I said "the farmer can put bags over their heads I just want the meatiest rump". Not fooling myself, those trays of meat in the supermarket had sweet little faces too and my puppy dogs who would enjoy the feed have even cuter faces. Sorry little calves.

Yep, I've been there, Lower Crackpot, if I remember rightly it is near the Promised Land. Just had to go there with those sort of names, although the country side around there looked lovely too, but then it did in lots of Tasmania.

Only trouble with sharing land is that you still have to be able to get permisson to have more than one house on it, something which isn't always permittted no matter how large the land area because of zoning.
