  1. Definitely ferals as we have no neighbours, thank you for your offer but OH is going around to AWL to pick up a trap which we will give a go tonight, just don't want to be catching any native's by mistake.
  2. LOL no pet cats only ferals I was thinking about using a cat product on my dog as I don't know whether dog products kill cat fleas.
  3. I have tried to lime our house yard but as we live on acerage it is extremely hard to keep the blasted things out of the house yard. No the capstar does not seem to be killing the cat fleas or not killing them before they bite her causing a rash on her, which is the main problem, I was just wondering if the spot on treatments are effective against both sorts of fleas or would I have to use a cat flea treatment, which specifically kills cat fleas.
  4. I've used the rinse but as you say the moment she goes back out in the yard more hop on, I haven't used a spot on and was hoping to get some recommendations that would work against these fleas as they are giving her a rash and I cannot keep her inside during the day when I am at work.
  5. As such we are having a cat flea problem as well, so do I have to treat Ellie with something different as her Capstar does not seem to be effective against them.
  6. Looking for recommendations for a groomer in the Liverpool/Campbelltown area. Just need someone to bath her and do her nails as I've hurt my back again and can't bend over the bath for her. Mobile or not I'm not fussed just want someone who can handle a giant breed puppy. Many thanks for all your help
  7. Please excuse my ignorance but do you mean Manuka honey? and if so does it have to be manuka honey or can it just be raw honey.
  8. This part has me worried more than anything is there any news on what the welfare grounds are? Though I'm not located anywhere near there I will help however those handling this see fit.
  9. [quote name='VJB' date='5th May 2010 - 01:12 PM' post='4510093' Another thing I use to do was keep all her stuffed toys that she had 'un-stuffed'. I would then put some kibble inside one, roll it up and then re-stuff the largest unstuffed toy with all the other unstuffed toys...... GET IT. I know what I'm trying to say. !!! Then she would happily un-stuff them all over again. (these are hollow stuffed toys,,, I've thrown all the stuffing out)...aarrhhhgg.. I don't know if I'm expaining myself properly.. Do you mean like babushka dolls
  10. Wasn't there a big hoo ha years ago about people using Eucalyptus wool wash on their dogs and it turned out to be poisonous to them, apparently it built up over time and wrecked the dogs kidneys. I'm not sure if it was on Burkes Backyard or something like that as it was years ago and my memory is nothing like it used to be. Would citronella oil be a good alternative - the human kind not the torch kind
  11. Just wondering if anyone has bought a security screen door with a doggy door already installed? If not are there any doggy doors you would recommend for a security screen door that are easy to install?
  12. Can someone let me know if I'm on the right track with my pics, cause i honestly have no idea and am anxious to be learning more. All of these challenges are really helpful. I will definately be using them once I get my new camera. So a big thank you to Ash for helping a complete beginner and to everyone else for inspiring me with their beautiful photos.
  13. I think you had a very well written and thought provoking reply so sad others will not be able to see it as it could possibly have changed someones mind about dumping their dog at the pound.
  14. Well I was going to wait until I had my new camera before entering any challenges but that has been put on hold until June sales kick in, I have it on good advise that the camera I'm looking at getting will be heavily marked down at that time But I have been inspired by all of the wonderful DOL photographers and pics they put up so these are some pics I took with my old P&S and thought I would give it a go and maybe get a headstart on things before I get my DSLR Please let me know if these are in keeping with the challenge and what needs to be improved. I'm thinking this may be what the rule of thirds is this one not so much, but perhaps with some cropping, would that be right?
  15. she is adorable and she has a very cheeky look about her, I think you might have your hands full and will no doubt love every second of it.
