Mason_Gibbs Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Mason is allergic to wheat so no he does not have his own ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RubyStar Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 (edited) Mason is allergic to wheat so no he does not have his own ;) The wheat doesn't touch him :p It's covered by 2 layers. Would that still affect him? Just curious! For some good news (well for me ) I spoke to Steve tonight and he's going to build me a 2 door barrier system thingy with a divider for the boot of my car, all removable, this Friday woohooooo So now I can get poor Ruby in and out of the car without b!tch features muzzling her way through instead I did ask about the false floor for extra storage and he said he could do it, but upon further thought, we concluded that it wouldn't leave them with much room and they'd have further to jump in so I will live with using my back seats and foot wells to carry training gear, but at least with this setup it eliminates the need to carry a crate on my back seat at all times! Just for occasions where I can't use my car as a crate. I'll also get him to rig up my cargo net as a cargo barrier to stop Millie from jumping over my back seats. So it's not for a safety thing, just a visual barrier to hopefully deter her. Hope my tax refund from last year (that I only just submitted ) comes back soon, as it has already been spent! Can't wait :D P.S. might need a new car for dog #3, this setup won't work with 3 dogs but I will cross that bridge when I get to it Edited May 31, 2011 by RubyStar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSoSwift Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Sorry to hear about your Nonno RV. RIP. RS I would be VERY interested in wheat bags, especially with channels!! what sort of dimensions are they??? I have worn out a couple and could do with some more. A cool mat coming into summer as well, but not just yet I am "trying" to budget! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mason_Gibbs Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 For some reason it just does, if he lays on mine when i get up he does itch, i have no idea why tho as it does not make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A cool mat coming into summer as well, but not just yet I am "trying" to budget! Awesome :D I can do whatever dimensions you would like if you have a specific in mind. Currently I have made 20x20cm, 20x30cm, and 20x40cm (with 2, 3 and 4 channels). If these sizes don't suit, just let me know. I am making Ptolomy a couple at a larger size (though I haven't measured it out yet). You have a choice currently between burgundy, navy blue and light blue corduroy fabric. I can have the wheat bags for you when you come up to Perth if you like. Good thing about the Cool Mats, is they weigh practically nothing (when dry) so are cheap as chips to post. The wheat bags would cost more to post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RubyStar Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 (edited) Rain, glorious rain!! It's pelting down here in the city! I'm so enjoying my new window seat at work where I can watch the rain. I've spent the last almost 4 years in an office with no window in sight to look out of! So I am loving the change :D Sure my view is only of another tall building and a satellite dish, but I can see the sky Shame I'm not just a few cubicles over, they have a nice view of the river, Narrows Bridge and Kings Park, boo!! I can see Kings Park if I stretch my neck and look backwards :p And the best part, the new office is WARM!!! None of this freezing even in summertime deal Edited June 1, 2011 by RubyStar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mason_Gibbs Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 You must love the new office!! I know how much u hated not having a window and freezing !! What would a price be on a cool mat for masons size?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bedazzledx2 Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 I'll be interested in your set up RS. I was going to do that sort of stuff but it all got a bit complicated and with 3 dogs now it just wouldn't work. What I did for Geraldton which was the first trip away with all the dogs plus our gear was to have Zac in the crate in the back, Jasper in the space next to the crate and Brookie on a bed on the folded part of the split fold rear seat. All our gear went in the foot well and on the other part of the back seat. I was worried it wouldn't work but we managed. I'll probably bring the trailer for Albany though.

Can't wait :D P.S. might need a new car for dog #3, this setup won't work with 3 dogs but I will cross that bridge when I get to it I'm thinking when the day comes that I get dog #3, if I am taking all 3 of them out, I will remove the barrier and have the 3 of them squished in the back (or maybe Princess Ruby will be upgraded to a blanket and car harness on the back seat :D ) Also, if I'm just taking one for an all day thing, say Ruby for retrieving, remove the barrier too and let her have the whole space. The part I worry about is the cargo net in lieu of the cargo barrier, but the blasted side airbags ruins those plans!! Plus it might take up extra precious room in the already small boot. It would be roomier if it weren't for those big jutted out bits on the sides of the boot! Does your Santa Fe have those? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mason_Gibbs Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 I wanted to ask something.... If you get a pup u keep it at home until at least 14 days after 2nd injections .... But now i have heard that parvo can be brought home on your shoes, i will have to walk mason when i get a pup so what do i do?? Is it a huge risk to keep walking the existing dog? Surely he can bring parvo home to pup as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
