Pointees Posted March 13, 2010 Author Share Posted March 13, 2010 Thanks LC. She is a waterbaby. You can't get her out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sankari Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 I know! Once she's in theres no getting her out not even a ball can entice her out You should see her without other dogs around she's even worse, she swims in circles and i call her out and she comes and just when i'm about to put her lead on she bolts back in Gosh she's trouble sometimes when it comes to water! I swear she's not going in as much tomorrow if i can help it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mokhahouse Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 (edited) They sound like lovely walks sticks. Having my 3 idiots we don't get time to take in the scenery until they are a bit more.. tired. I have taken them to Hanging Rock, which was lovely. By the time we were up the top of HR, they were, not so energetic, so the OH and I could could actually sit down, and look around. See the beautiful view from the top. ;) It was a beautiful walk. Think we might have to do another Hanging Rock walk soon. We took the dogs to hanging rock on Saturday but the pamphlet they gave us said dogs arent allowed to climb the rock. We were disappointed but took them for a nice walk around the grounds. I was a bit concerned about snakes too.There are signs warning about them Edited March 29, 2010 by mokhahouse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might have to check it out one day. its a massive park with the river running alongside. lots of nice people. we love it. would be great to see you there! just dont go wednesday nights- there is a group that meets (informal) all with the same breed and the dogs have attacked bert and another dog whilst they stood back and did nothing and then told us to 'f#ck off' out of their park. have reported them to council but nothing has changed so we simply dont go on a wednesday night, not worth the risk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whippets Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 We go to eastern beach alot with the dogs (onlead only). They love it and it's good socialisation. I also do the markets around here, especially Queenscliff market. Newman makes a B-line to the "gourmet dog biscuit" lady and the couple that sell everything dried from pig snouts to bull pizzles (can't stand the smell of those).

Dogs are allowed up the rock now - they need to change some signs. My dogs loved to bounce up those steep stairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mokhahouse Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 Just got back from Tooradin Foreshore, dogs had a great time as usual, managed to score some BBQ sausage from members of my family. Nice small town to walk around, pity the tide was out so a lot of mud.Still nice dog friendly place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
