I agree - if you're looking for a vet you may as well find a hospital that offers a/hrs service. A lot of the above surgery's aren't available a/hrs (which includes weekends), and you'll end up at one of the hospitals anyway. I use Booval, and they are also available at Pine Mountain and Karalee

Happy Birthday from Indi

I used to say "Do wee's", but with the lastest addition (16mth GSD) I've decided "toilet" is much more civilised when in public

My Starter Tug kit arrived today If you're thinking about this kit I definately recommend it - good quality and CHEAP!!!

I caved in yesterday morning (when I see 20% discount I feel it's my duty to buy )

I have 3 sons too , so I can understand where you're coming from (they love dogs :D ). On the other hand, I also have three dogs and if a kid's eyeballing one of my dogs in an obviously aggressive manner I'm not going to invite him over to pat them - sorry my dogs are more important to me than a badly behaved child

I'm great entertainment when it comes to TID

My family have seen my TID videos and they now call me "the crazy lady" !!! I'm going to wait (probably this time next year ) for a decent one before I share .

I agree Seita. Great site Steve - I loved all the testimonials.

So is that midnight your time and 11.00 pm our (Qld) time?

Now there's a bonus . Ahhhh, the joys of not having daylight-saving

I can see there's going to be a lot of sleepy DOLers tomorrow - Midnight's waaaay past my bedtime!!!

Got the tissues

I have had dealings with one of the ACO's in the ICC due to a complaint from one of our neighbours regarding our barking dogs. The cause of the barking was due to the neighbours cat and I found the attitude of the ACO was nothing but helpful. There was no power-hungry treatment, in fact I felt he was sympathetic and wanted to help us resolve the situation without upsetting either our neighbours or ourselves. We also deal with another ICC ACO through work and he is a down-to-earth gentleman who certainly doesn't have the attitude you're insinuating NKA.

My beautiful girl (11yrs) just before she was give her wings

I'd appreciate the dvd's

Good thing My goldie gets here on Thursday. Maybe he can teach Ruff a thing or two As one who is "owned" by a Goldie I can assure you he'll teach Ruff and YOU a thing or two

Angelina, I think Cr Antoniolli is "enjoying" the debate.

What would these qualifications be? Conducted humanely in what way?

He didn't say anything about NOT buying Camp Tailwaggers and moving up here now, did He mmmmm Yep - I noticed that too ;) . Or maybe he is buying camp tailwaggers but still staying where he is.......... That'll work - then everyone's happy

You've got to get in touch with Jo Morgan - she's in Qld and she's in an electric wheelchair. She trains her dogs as assistance dogs, but she also trials them and she's brilliant. http://www.disability.qld.gov.au/stories/jo-morgan/ I'm not keen to give her number out but if you Google her name you'll find it

And show me what I'm doing wrong

We can only hope

Cr Antoniolli when is the ICC going to do something about the Parvo problem at the pound. I have been informed by someone who has had very close connections with the pound that Parvo will continue to be a problem until more is done in recognising when a dog has Parvo, and how the situation is handled once Parvo is recognised. How many qualified staff (nurses in particular) do you have employed at the pound - people with formal training who can recognise Parvo symptoms as soon as they see them? I wondered when this thread was started if Parvo would come into it and sadly it has played a large part in this very sad saga.
