I, for one, have learned a lot from the loss of these beautiful souls - I am not taking anything for granted, I will take more time to spend with my loved ones, I will live my life with no regrets and stop to smell the 'roses'.... thank you beautiful angels for teaching me this. It is so terrible that it takes a tragedy for people to be 'awakened' - may we all learn something from this so that their lives have not been lost in vain. It is incredible to see a bunch of people who barely know each other, but for a few posts on a forum, all join together in a time of great need. I am honoured to be a part of such a great community. Thank you to all of you.

It was lovely to see the photos of the little ones looking safe and well, a glimmer of hope and light in all of this. I am sending Jed and her family and close friends so much love, my heart is breaking for all of you and what you have gone through and are still to go through but you WILL get through this.

This is on NOW!!!!

oh god no RIP bubs I was sure he was ok, my heart just dropped when I read the post ;)

sorry guys - didn't mean to make you feel bad I just know that if I had lost so many, or even just one, I would want to do something very special to ME and my loved ones. Remembering and how to commemorate a loved one is so personal that's all.

This might sound a bit airy fairy but could we all send healing light and love to both Magnus and Jed (imagine a golden light enveloping each of them filled with love and hope). I believe Magnus will be found - he is very scared and remember he has also lost his family so will be grieving himself.

Personally I don't think we should be making plans for memorials etc. I know that people just want to do something nice for Jed but it is such a personal thing. I understand that those that have passed will need to be buried carefully and thoughtfully and I am sure that this has been/will be done in consultation with Jed's family. Compiling photos from the forum is lovely as most (all?) mementos would have been lost but actual physical memorials or grave sites should really be left to Jed and those who are closest to her. Just my opinion and sorry if I have offended anyone.

I don't think Deals Direct can post to PO boxes. Maybe PM Tara and Sam a street address.

What a lovely idea.

Yeah sorry Steve - I edited once I saw Kyla had been there

I had a dream last night that Magnus was found - he had gone back home and was found curled up under some timber - like a woodpile. I so hoped I would come here and it would be true

Like others have asked, is there someone checking the house/property regularly? He would go home right? He's probably hiding somewhere watching for someone he knows. EDIT - just read Kyla is there looking.

Keep fighting Jed.

I hope that Jed's family and close friends are ok

The Cocker shown in the footage looked quite young so I don't believe it was Magnus. I hope it WAS him that ran away. (and of course hope that he is found soon)

glad to hear the dogs will be released - I just asked in one of the other threads. Steve - are you ok with all of the dogs and finding homes for fostering - I am sure you have enough hands there but please let us know if you need more help.

Jed - please be ok.

MY God I am just devastated for Jed and her family. Such a terrible terrible loss of her beloved animals and her home. As soon as I heard I thought of TBCSITW - I have always loved hearing the stories about him. I agree with so many here that Jed is definitely a favourite poster. She has to be ok.

I really don't know what to write but I hope Jed knows that we are all here for her

F@$&$%#&%&%^K I just heard. OMG I will make a donation as soon as we get paid. Is there anything else we can do??

Personally I wouldnt be happy about a large dog rushing/bounding up to my dog - how am I to know that your dog is friendly? If you read on here, there are many stories of people/dogs being rushed at by another dog and that owner saying "he won't do anything, he's harmless" while the dog attacks.

Archie might be a friendly dog but I don't think you should allow him to run up to all of the dogs - let them be introduced another way and then they can play if all goes well . I don't take my dogs to offlead parks so not really sure of the 'rules'. :p

Very cute but yes it would have to be a basket with a lid!

Hi all

West Australian Assistance Dogs (WAAD) will be conducting a street appeal in the City of Perth to raise much needed funds for training and raising these amazing dogs. If you are in the city at all on this day please look out for the WAAD dogs and handlers and volunteers and consider making a donation or purchasing some merchandise We have two new puppies as well as the older dogs/puppies and you will get to see all of them in action doing what they do best!

The website is www.waadinc.org.au or for more information please email Gwen at [email protected]

Thanks and hope to see you there!

I noticed a few spelling mistakes and I think the first sentence needs rewording (for example "similarities.... are quite different" doesn't really make sense) and the sentence as a whole should be made shorter Run it through a spelling and grammar check and remember that it is 'may have' not 'may of' and the different meanings of their, there and they're

I wouldn't put that terriers are considered dog aggressive.

Also try not to refer to Terriers and Gundogs as 'breeds' in themselves - they are each a 'group' of similar breeds You could put the different breeds that are listed in each group and then discuss the 'average size and weight' if you wanted to keep what you have written there?

Hope that doesn't come across as rude

I lke the first lot of photos but the second lot look waaay too processed for me

My faves are the close up elephant trunks and the group elephant shot

That was cool! Love the song playing on the video too

My first show (club show with baby puppy), the steward told me to go straight to the table so I picked Amber up and carried her to the table oops

Obviously it wasn't because they thought the dog was 'gay' (however you get a gay dog :D ;)) - they would have thought it was a 'normal' dog and as such not allowed inside a restaurant. Do Guide dogs have a special badge/pass thing that shows they are a Guide Dog - I know that the Assistance Dogs have to? It says they showed the restaurant with a fact card - not the same thing. I agree Souff, speaking clearly would have most likely helped!

This is not in any way defending restaurants or other establishments that discriminate against people with disabilites. I don't think this is the case here.

fair enough

I agree that it is better for your friend to stay elsewhere :D Good luck breaking the news.

How old is your baby? Could she not sleep in your room for the night and then your friend and her child could use the baby's room?

So sad That poor baby

I agree that there is obviously more to this - she woke to a knock on the door but not to the sound of her baby being mauled in the same room???????
