CrazyCresties Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 (edited) Hoping for some healing vibes today for my handsome Mr Fionn, who is at the vets having an op to remove two little lumps from his head. (Waaaah! They're going to shave his head! Waaaaah!) Bad enough having to leave him there, with that little face looking out the door at me as I walked away. All the best for Mr Fionn Faolmor I wouldn't worry - the sharks are too busy picking off tourists at Cottesloe and Rotto to worry about some scrawny dogs :p lol don't say that, I've just dropped my parents off at Cott beach for a couple of hours My two won't voluntarily put even a toe in the water, a right pair of wusses eta cute pic of Booker :D Edited December 20, 2011 by CrazyCresties Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mirawee Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 I have to admit the 75 min drive to the beach is as big a turn off as the sharks I do usually end up taking the horses once or twice in a year but don't know the last time I took dogs to the beach!

I'm sure they'll be fine Trixie has no probs going into the beach water ( usually follows another dog out) but Kyzer will only go ankle deep, he much prefers digging holes, dropping the ball in there and barking at it :p (special dog) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyCresties Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Oh Sorry about that! I'm sure they'll be fine There's a reason why we chose a house with a pool, it called f**king huge sharks in the water but my parents are on holiday and they want to go to the beach, I have told them them to be sensible, especially as my dad is anything but scrawny - he'd make a tasty shark snack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm maybe tell your Dad to stay in the shallows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RallyValley Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Fingers crossed for Fionn!!! And for you Falomor that it all grows back quickly. Also I think you are more likely to get a snake bite at a lake/river then a shark bite at a beach... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 2 love the beach, at first I kept them off the beach ths summer but then had a re-think as thy love it so much I don't want to deny them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mirawee Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 RV, if you ask my Dad there are no snakes on our property since he hasn't seen one in the 6 years(?) he has been living there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogsfevr Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 (edited) Last week was shark week on Foxtel ,i watch it yearly . They did a segment on dogs & said dogs that had fleas where a higher risk of being taken by a shark due to the blood . The did a test with robot dog & whilst they where attracted to the dog swimming the sharks didn't attack but when the robot dog segreted blood the sharks certainly started to be more keen . Sharks are just part of life i guess growing up in Mount Gambier & Port Lincoln there just a normal occurance for me that we saw regularly Edited December 20, 2011 by showdog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OSoSwift Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 The Swan River is not free from sharks :p http://www.abc.net.au/news/2011-02-25/bull-sharks-found-in-the-swan-river/1958162 Ah nope, saw our fair share when doing canoeing at school Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSoSwift Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 We have had two whites cruising around in near the port and in the bay where most of the swimming occurs......................hmmmm I think I will stay ON the beach!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RubyStar Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 (edited) I think the moral of the story is keep you and your doggies locked up safe inside at all times, kids!! (but then the bed bugs might get us) Edited December 20, 2011 by RubyStar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSoSwift Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Weelllll not sure they would like that!!! Mine would be more likely to be bitten by a snake around the house than bitten by a shark at the beach. Snakes worry me far more than Sharks!

Poor Bear Lots of hugs and kisses. We don't get too many Bobtails around the house, more snakes than lizards. That is why I have a very good leave it trained with my dogs, add to that the pitch change if they are about to even think about sniffing in the direction of a snake and well they move very sharply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mirawee Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Me too! Considering the amount of bobtails I have seen around here lately there must be snakes too Don't know if it is myth or not but apparently the more bobtails around the less chance of snakes We get some pretty impressive sized Goannas around as well :D Unforutnately the bobtails need to learn to keep out of my dogs' yard Although they have gotten less this year than usual so hopefully the message is being spread!
