  1. This woman had brought 4 other kittens to the RSPCA all very sick. She knew the RSPCA is not a private practice and could only treat animals surrendered to them. She knew this because she had done it 4 times previously.... Five sick kittens , rushing into vet at night... 4 out of 5 too sick to save.... If they DIDNT look into her, I would be more annoyed!!!
  2. It is quite flat, I suppose some dogs will, some wont.. :)
  3. Moorook Animal Shelter See you in court Mark !

  4. People boycotting the SA million paws walk probably has more to do with the RSPCA raiding Moorook Animal Shelter and seizing some animals, a few of whom were then euthanised. There's been a lot of furor over it by Moorook and supporters, who held a rally demanding accountability by the RSPCA. I think a second rally might be planned for the same day as the million paws walk. This annoys me! The RSPCA received COMPLAINTS about this shelter. What were they supposed to do? Ignore them and cop the abuse of "doing nothing" or investigate and still cop abuse... Is it really going to help the animals of SA if one of their fundraisers is ambushed.... Is Moorook shelter going to take all of them now??? Wow, nice work SA.??? The blurb said he was the face of the million paws walk, failed the temperament, because he turned his head away when they wanted to look at his teeth - not bit, just turned his head, and then he got the chop. What a load of crap! I have seen dogs that mouth, have drawn blood and jump and are nervous that are NOT pts, but are put through daily one on one training to enable them to be rehomed! There is NO way that is true! Really does it even sound remotely true?? Have you actually been out and volunteered at a RSPCA shelter to at least see how hard these people work to help and how passionate they are about all animals?? Go out, make your own decisions... Just because it is on facebook or a forum does not make it true! There are so many trolls who love to stir the pot and cause trouble and people fall for it all the time..... people are so quick to think badly of something, especially if it makes them feel morally superior.... The RSPCA is not a perfect organisation. None are. But they certainly do not deserve the blanket condemnation that they receive from a lot of people. I havent read all of this thread as it will just upset me needlessly! I do know that the RSPCA was ASKED to temporarily assist with the shelter at Ipswich. It was not a 'hostile takeover' - they were asked..... Edited for spelling.
  5. I am literally in stitches watching that, thankyou so much. I can't believe how quirky our dogs are & the things that scare them, keep them coming people I am loving the replies. You are welcome!! :laugh: I love it too!!
  6. I know a big, burly, ex navy, heavily tattoo'd, biker, Vietnam Veteran who used to have a Pomeranian named 'Eyebrow'. He used to travel around Australia in their car and caravan.
  7. Tara (Doberling Miss Marika) dobermann 13yrs old. Given her wings in 2004 after a seemingly minor fall that she never recovered from. I still think of her most days and hold off getting another dobe because I know they will have a hard time meeting my expectations. ETA - she is the black beauty on my AV.
  8. One of my black +tan dobie pups had a white spot on her chest. As she grew it got smaller and smaller. It went to 2 hairs and then completely disappeared. So yes it may 'fade'.
  9. Gordon Country is a great spot. We are set up to not to need to use the 'facilities' so cant comment on them. We went for a week last year and had a wonderful time. Only advice would be is to take a chainsaw if you have one. There is lots of wood to collect but a chainsaw would make it so much easier (trees on the ground only!!) . We took an axe and it was quite a work out for OH for the week!! Creek is a great spot for kids and dogs to play (mums and dads too!). We camped across the creek from the amenities block. 3 families ( 2 camper trailers and 1 tent) I am sure you will have a fabulous time. Get there early though, as I expect a lot of people will be out camping these holidays as the Xmas ones were a disaster!!
  10. I LOVE German Pinchers.. I keep tossing up between a GP or an English Pointer or a Dobie.........
  11. I think some of the assumptions about this dogs owners are a bit unfair. - Micro chipping is not compulsory in every state. AND only in Qld for abut 12mths or so. There are valid reasons for it not being microchipped. - No one knows for sure how old exactly the dog is. The vet estimates it to be this age. The vet is only estimating. The dog could be 6-10months older than this quite easily. It just takes a smaller (or crossed) lab to put their guess out. - Has none of you 'responsible' dog owners ever had a bitch on heat and despite your best efforts a dog gets to them? Well you are quite lucky. My girl once broke thru a door to get to a male on the other side when she was on heat. - Dogs get out of yards. Someone may leave a gate open or not realise a dog is there when coming in or out. The wind can scare or blow open gates. Who knows? But you cant assume it is because the owner is irresponsible (it may be so, but WE dont know) it can happen to anyone. You are assuming that the owner is not heart brokenly searching for their dog. How do you know how far this dog traveled? She may have gone several suburbs from home. I agree with greymate that you can NOT make too many plans about the pups or this dog UNTIL the owner has been attempted to be found. YOU must follow the correct process in contacting council and pound. Sure you may have got crap info when you originally called, but TRY again. If it was your dog that was missing wouldnt you hope that who ever found her would look after her AND try to find you? AND not just assume you are not worthy.
