So very sad to hear about lovely April - such a character

Goodbye April - you brought many smiles to our faces after hearing of your antics over the years.

Run free little pig

ONE MORE SLEEP TO GO!!!!!!

Safe travels little Miss Tabitha - see you soon xxxxxxxxx

Well its a month since our precious Finnigan was taken from us - its been a month of tears for both OH and myself - we miss our Fin every day and would give anything to have him back.

In 12 days a new little precious bundle will be joining our family - we both hope its not to soon after loosing our boy - but we both fell in love with this little princess.

Here she is - Tabitha

(Tabitha - Italian Greyhound puppy)

how is he doing Bianca ? Hope he is a little more comfortable today

wonderful news bianca :) xxx

great news bianca :)

hope all goes well on saturday - yell out if you need anything :)

lots of healing positive energy being sent to coop xxx

ohhh Bianca only just caught up with this ... wishing you and Coop all the best .. what an ordeal it has been over the last year or so - lets hope this will be the end of it for now and Coop is on the home straight with his recovery. xx

For those of you who followed my journey with adding Finnigan (whippet puppy) to our family last year, it breaks my heart to have report that our darling boy was killed in a freak accident on Saturday afternoon. He had only just had his first birthday (27 April) and had grown into the most stunning boy. He was our world - and our life is so empty without him. Fin had come down with me when I was feeding the horses and unfortunately got kicked by one of them. He died within about 5 minutes.

Make the most of every day you have with your furkids - they are with us for such a short time - in our case much to short

ohhh perse - what a shit couple of days for us ..

collie sounded like such a character - she must have been such a joy to have around. Poor Bruce - I hope he is coping with the loss of his friend

RIP Collie Goat - sounds like you were one in a million little lady.

Give them heaps over the bridge

Hugs perse x

Our beautiful Fin was kicked by one of the horses on Saturday evening. He appeared to be ok but then went into shock. He died within about 5 mins. No bleeding or signs of internal damage. He got kicked in the shoulder close to the rib cage - directly in line with his heart. I am guessing cardiac arrest.

Fin had only just had his first birthday. He was a our baby and we loved him to bits.

Bad enough loosing Wolf - but this on top of it - we are just wrecked.

I really don't know if we are gonna get through this one ....

Fin .. we love you so much - we only had you for such a short time - its just not fair. You were such a happy boy, you loved life - you had 2 speeds, flat out or asleep ! You caused chaos wherever you went ... life was just one big adventure to you. Everywhere I look there are memories of you - your toys, your bed, your favorite chair ... Finni boy ... why ????

Fly free our darling boy .. xxxxxxxxx

With great sadness we farewelled our special boy Wolf today.

Our beautiful, faithful and very much loved border collie left this earth after giving us 12 years of happiness.

Goodbye our gorgeous Wolf - in our hearts forever.

We love you xxxxx

Safe journey and chase those bunnies - keep Gan safe up there - and now you can play with Maggie, Coby, Digby, Jess and all the other family dogs waiting to embrace you.

Thank you for the love you gave us xxxx

ohhh Kirty - I am so very sorry to hear your darling boy has lost his battle

RIP sweet Rockling xxxx

I am so sorry to read this.

RIP precious little whippet

.. thanks everyone

i just bit the bullet and ended up getting a D7100. Now I just have to learn how to use it properly !!! After my little D40 its like driving a truck compared to a mini ! lol

I am planning on upgrading my trusty old faithful D40 (which I love).

Looking at a D7000.

Mostly to be used taking action shots of the horses and dogs.

Recommendations or comments appreciated

have been thinking about this all day today - its a hard one to forget

One news article I saw is saying that when found, the perp(s) are likely to be facing a 10 year jail term.

In my opinion 10 years is not long enough for this particular crime BUT just what would be a suitable sentence for this horrific event ...

I know what I would like to happen to him/her/them .... but that aint gonna happen - well legally anyway ...

absolutely heartbreaking

I am so sorry to see that the beautiful Nouvelle was one of them

oh no .... I just found the article in the Adelaide news site

I know them from a few of the shows I've been too

OMG .... how devastating

These are very valuable show horses, they believe that they are close to an arrest

Cas ... do you have any other info about them? PM me if you dont want to post here ..

I know a couple of breeders/showies from SA - I hope to god its not their horses

distressing beyond belief

as an owner and breeder of miniature horses I am totally sickened by this.

I remember many years ago a beautiful ASH colt, ""Black Panther"" had a nail hammered into his jaw while he was in his stall in the stables at the RM Horse show - and a number of show horses had their tails docked.

But to have such a senseless slaughter in their own home stables - I am still trying to get my head around it

I cant even imagine how the owner(s) are coping with this

RIP beautiful horses ...

Thanks guys - much appreciated.

Problem has been sorted - and pup in question will be here tomorrow :)

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone can suggest a reliable dog transport company to bring a dog from Rosebud to Bairnsdale?

cheers!

ohhh Perse .... I only just saw this ...

So sorry to hear the loss of your beautiful boy

Goodbye lovely Mr Wilson - you sounded like a real character

perse .. no ... she was an indoor cat mostly. we only let her outside when we were with her - and even then she would hang around the house area.

the neighbour does put out fox baits - but it would be almost impossible for her to have picked up one - and I think they act pretty much instantly

thats abit scary KC .. I dread to think what we are putting on our animals

My vet is recommending we change over to Comfortis as he says there seems to be less chance of reactions.

I hate all these chemicals
