That vid just screams "foster failure" to me... hahaha!

T.

Ya think?

Awww too cute, love the music!

Yeah I was really pleased when I found that in the Youtube audio choices because up until then there was so much rubbish in there. Its really cute.

I have the second one that you listed, and it works well for my whippets and greyhound. I have used it for about 3 years and never had a problem.

Just make sure that it is fitted very firmly.

Trish

Darn it. I just measured the back of the car and it's only 80 cm high so it wouldnt fit the second one by the looks of things.

Hope you like it anyway.

Sure did . So funny, with Dylan going under the bed all the time. He is nearly as tall as Pepper.

He goes under that bed everytime I open the door now hahahaha

I'm going to clear the room out and let him and Pepper have it as their "play" room. That way Tango and I can get some peace every once in a while. I'll leave the bed tho - of course!! There's just too many things he can grab that he shouldn't have in there. He did that with one of my account books today and raced under the bed with it when I told him to drop it hahahaha. I grabbed his back skin and pulled him out before he got all the way under - with book still in mouth which he dropped in surprise when he emerged

I love his camera licks hee hee

I brought similar barriers ... and found them a complete waste of money. I just couldn't get it tight enough that it couldn't be pushed out of place.

I was looking at Walky Barrier which secures onto the .headrest

THanks, they look good Tilly. Fairly costly but still a good idea. Unfortunately I don't have extendable headrests on the back seats. My car is a bit old LOL So it doesnt have stuff like that.

ETA The "pushing out of place" is what I'm afraid of too.

42" collaspable dog crate

You get to make 3 offers on the item, my offer of $60 was accepted

Thanks! The postage is reasonable for it too!

WOuld I need to secure the crate in the back too though?

I just brought a 42" crate off ebay for $60 + PH

do you have a link Pandii??

Have you tried using a harness on him and attaching the tether to a child safety bolt on the floor of the wagon? You can fit 3 bolts - 1 behind each seat.

Thanks - I'll look into that

Why not put a metal crate in the back of the wagon?

Too expensive SwaY and not enough room for three of them and I couldn't really have just one. If that makes sense.

Crates start from $50, cheaper in the long run vs those cargo barrier links you posted.

If he is the only one that is the problem, yep i would crate him.

Really!! $50!! Cool!

Where can I get one for a dalmatian for that price? I have been looking and the local shops sell them for around $200. They are slightly cheaper online but they charge a fortune to send them to Tasmania so it works out even more expensive or similar.

hmmmm just having a look at cargo barriers. They seem to require drilling holes in the car. Not real keen on that idea....

Look on ebay for a second hand cargo barrier.

I got the one for the wagon for $40, and the one for the van for $150.

The ones in the links are crap.

I'll have a bit of a look THanks!

To be honest, I think for a rambunctious youngster like Dylan, one of the one-size-fits-most barriers will be next to useless.

My parents had one in their Camry and it didn't survive a determined Labrador. He pushed it out of the way and STILL ended up sitting on the spare lap in the front seat.

Oh.... well that's disappointing......

They're all well behaved when they're in the back. Its just Mr Wriggley decides he'd rather ride up front and that's that.

I have to say, he behaves very well tho, just sits on the back seat for the rest of the journey.

Okay

Since getting Dylan it's become clear that my tried and true (for 4 years) method of using a luggage net as a barrier between the back of the station wagon and the back seats is now a bust. Little devil hops back and forth through it at will - and doesnt care if he gets tangled up in it (which he rarely does). As if that wasn't bad enough yesterday Tango hopped through it as well for the first time and sat with Dylan on the back seat. Poor Miss Pepper the Perfect was left in the back all by herself looking suitably outraged.

So.... more money to spend on the spotty ones.

I need a better barrier. So I looked at these two and wondered if anyone has them and can give advice. Or suggest another site to get them from.

Keep in mind I am rapidly going broke buying stuff for these guys and I'd like to keep some $ to fix the holes in the bathroom floor soon!!!

First one

Second one

Wow! That's kinda bizarre! What is that? Sort of a gay hippy peace-loving clown convention???

BTW Took Dylan to the vet yesterday. He's all good and the staff fell in love - BUT she puts his age at around 8 months or so! Phhttt! So much for a 4 month old puppy!

As promised! Here's a little video. It's not great quality and I used youtubes video editor and audio thingy so its a bit rough and ends a bit oddly

Hope you like it anyway.

PS And yes I know my house is a mess LOL

yeah good to hear

Might have been something like a pinched nerve.

Halloween ideas SC? :D

Gawd I leave this thread alone for a few days and look what you get up to in my absence! Hope you haven't got any more "surprises"!!

Awwwww that poor wee long-suffering doggie!!! hahahahahaha

Hmmmmmm pink tutus are a bit scarce round here .... but I might have something.....

I'll get back to this tomorrow

hee hee

I think that's a BIG thing! Well done both of you

tool, tool, tool

Can't wait to read the promised upcoming article "Using a Guard Dog to Protect You from Prostitutes'

(Under Read this First, on the article page, in case you think I'm making it up.)

Hahahahha No way!!!

Oh those rabid prostitutes. Scarey mean critters!!! They take no prisoners!! Well .....unless you want them to hee hee

hmmmm I dont think I'd want to leave a muzzle of any kind on my dog for lengthy periods of time. :D With an optivisor/novaguard he can still do everything he would normally do except reach bits he shouldnt touch on his body.

jeez - thats nasty. I didnt visit the link.
