CareyJ Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 sort of dog related.... what is the best choice of lawn that is dog friendly and is not too greedy with water? So far I have been told Sir Walter, Palmeto and today I saw a lovely lawn that was Queensland Blue. The area I need to re-lawn is 11 x 8 and it has some shade from gum trees. Any thoughts??? We have palmetto in the shade and it is currently going crazy. Its a really nice lawn but did suffer badly when we had a dog on it. It didnt help we didnt give it enough time to establish before the dog dug it up. We had also never had lawn before so had no idea what we needed to do to to maintain it! The good old Kyk (used on most footy ovals) seems to work but isnt so popular in standard back yards. Carey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lab_Rat Posted April 2, 2011 Author Share Posted April 2, 2011 Good luck to all who head to Bunno for the Obedience trials tomorrow.....I probably wont go We spent all day chucking out lime on our paddock, so I now have sore arms to go with my sore legs from rock scrambling the other day....Bloody holidays!!! We spent the day at Meelup beach (past Dunsborough) on Thursday and spent an hour walking round the corner to find our Big Rock from our childhood......Then we had to walk back ...The swimming was divine though, definitely heading back before I have to head back to work... Zola has developed a disgusting habit!!!! Counter surfing in the kitchen after her dinner!!!!! Piglet of a thing! Will have to reinstate the kitchen gate Shes so darn quiet about it too!!! Must be the only time she moves around without a sound - any other time shes a clompy, noisy beast!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fetchindawgs Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 It is amazing how lazy you can teach dogs to be LOL. I get out of bed in the morning and the dogs stay there until I start heading towards the kitchen Oh and if you found a really wealthy guy you could give up work and have more time for the dogs OK, but where does one find a really wealthy guy, so we can have more time with our dogs. Only ones I ever use to find were the poor ones, now I figure I get more time with my dogs without one around anyway. The trick is, to find a guy totally out of the dog scene, who absolutely adores you and will put up with anything you say (because you are his "angel"). Then, escalate the dog thing, (it is your emotional release !!). Before you know it you have your dogs, your sport, a devoted guy, and no worries about money. Sounds easy!!!!

RallyValley Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 (edited) The best place down there is just up from Meelup, you park at Eagle Bay and follow the little bush track around to the point, there is a little cove with rocks all around and the water there is beatiful.

Ptolomy Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Boy was it hot in Bunbury yesterday, really tough on the obedience kids and tougher on their handlers Hard to believe a lot of dogs were wearing cool coats in April!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RubyStar Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 (edited) Boy was it hot in Bunbury yesterday, really tough on the obedience kids and tougher on their handlers Hard to believe a lot of dogs were wearing cool coats in April!!!! Last year's April trial in Bunbury was cold and windy and I was wearing a jacket and leggings under my jeans for most of the day!! Yesterday was a stinker and yep I broke out the cool coats too. Will have to get the clips adjusted so they aren't so tight around the shoulders, then I can consider going into to stays with them wearing them next time :D To whoever asked if any of the dogs had a successful day. Ptolomy and Cider came first in Novice in PM trial (no surprises there!! ), Scoota 1st and Brooklyn 2nd in UD (AM trial), and Millie came 1st in Open in PM trial (huuuuge surprise there!) Ruby was so close in morning and afternoon trials in Open, so very proud of her!! Edited April 4, 2011 by RubyStar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mason_Gibbs Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 I thought it was even hot here in Perth yesterday morning, after we had been at retrieving for an hour Mason was not keen to do anything and its either his antibiotics or the heat...
