Loving my Oldies

Cough cough ... :D I picked up their catalogue and, of course, you are right. I want to go in to look at their heaters on Saturday. I don't need beds, but I like the look of the Pet Bowl Mats.

I went into my local Aldi (Westfield at Hornsby) yesterday on the strength of this thread. LOL. I didn't expect any beds to be left as it was latish afternoon. However, I did look at a few things I needed, but was in a hurry to get home, so didn't purchase. I was amazed at the prices though. For instance, I use Lite Soy and the equivalent in Aldi is over a dollar cheaper than the one I usuallly buy at Woolworths. As I use about three cartons a week that would amount up over a year. The thing is: all the brands are different. I guess I just have to be re-educated LOL.

OMG! The people should be traced and charged with animal cruelty. Poor darling girl. to you and your teacher, HugUrPup.

Dudes Shame about their occupation

Ha ha. Very different from the Dingo I have as this months calendar photo. Shorter legs.

Great shots. Is he creating a stir around town. Can't imagine there are too many Shar Pei in Kalgoorlie. Those bush shots are so interesting .... all the different shades of green growing out of that red dirt.

Beautiful photo, Terri S. I don't have a puppy, but had wonderful puppy play yesterday. I was out in the front garden and a woman was walking a gorgeous, bit skittish, little dog. I commented and she said: it is our first walk as all vax are complete. Little red girl was a beautiful RR of 14 weeks. So soft and such a brilliant gleaming colour. The lady found her breeder through DOL listed breeders, so I told her to join the forum and come into this thread.

I'll happily give him an ice cream whenever he wants one. Gorgeous fellow.

The trouble is, like any breed, being in the wrong hands equals potential trouble and possible tragedy. I saw a puppy Cane Corso at the vets a couple of years ago and he was absolutely beautiful and owned by a woman who'd had them before. I imagine he will grow up to be a "good citizen".

Not at all, I'd say, Kirislin

I can't believe that wedding plans could get in the way of an opportunity to see Turid Rugaas :laugh: :laugh:

Don't just suggest it! Threaten her :laugh: :laugh:

Why isn't she going anywhere else http://www.turidrugaasdownunder.com/Welcome.html

OMG!! I wish I lived in Perth. I have her book "On Talking Terms with Dogs: Calming Signals" and have recommended it many times. One of the doggy people I would love to meet.

What a great initiative. I hope you get a good response.

A couple of threads on here talk about Calendula tea - do a search for them. Lots of advice there. Good luck.

Ha ha ha, Pepper21. I was going to post that a beautiful boy lived near me and here you are. When do you move ? Saw you out on the footpath doing work with Sarge a few weeks ago, but as I had several dogs in tow, one of whom would have gone off her rocker, I didn't walk down the cul de sac.

What does TA mean, Yonjuro? Bit of a numpty here

Totally fascinating. for dry britches and thumbs down for the vet LOL. You are doing him/her out of business. My youngest girl, Tamar 10+, is on propalin for life and, although it is only a drop because she is a light weight Maltese cross, she hates it. I doubt she would lick the corn silk, but if it is just a small amount, I could still give it to her in a syringe.

Great presents for a special Birthday girl.

You don't have to push yourself.

You've been lucky, Wild. I'm relieved it has been sorted so well. I think your experience needs to be taken on board by all of us - your message about not to be complacent is so important.

Mama elephant with a super sized pooper scooper - What a visual image!!! Thank you for the giggle! Elephants with young can be overly protective and may easily choose to ignore training in favour of keeping the youngsters out of perceived danger. In India, they removed baby elephants from working mothers and trained the infants separately, otherwise the mothers were too unreliable to work for a year or more. I much prefer the herding to that horror. I definitely agree. I dont think the dogs were hurting these elephants at all. And a DEFINITE improvement from those elephant pokers that horrid places use Maybe they will catch on with the herding. Do you mean the hooked sharp rods? The man still had one of these in the video.

Unfortunately it isn't just Council's - this sort of attitude exists in private enterprise too. But that is a whole different story. As it is, I am glad that the article was as hard hitting as it was. Maybe, with your example in front of them, other people will start to speak out.

Good article - but lukewarm and evasive Council as usual.
