I used to have a stud of around 75-80 guinea pigs. Most were kept in cages but I did have some free ranging, my chihuahuas, mini foxie and cross staffie never

took any notice of them. The cats didnt worry about them never tried to catch them even though they were excellent ratters. I guess I was very lucky.

I use Picasa.

Mine must be broken they get up on the bed and go straight to sleep, they find it quite exhausting waking up and walking from the lounge to the bed.

A fish scaler does the same job as does a hacksaw blade.

I have a Sony A6000 mirrorless camera which came with two lenses. Its a lot lighter than my Nikon and the lenses are a lot smaller. I am absolutely wrapped in it.If I was starting out I would go mirrorless they don't have a huge variety of lenses yet but with time there will be a lot more available.

I will be moving from Sydney to Orange beginning of March and am wondering if there is a good boarding kennel for a night or two for my dogs and cat around the area.

I also hate when a breeder advertises pups and you go to the website and there is another breed and no mention of the breed you are looking for.

I decided a while ago that I wanted one of these as my next dog.

You are brilliant photographer.

The last image is absolutely magnificent I would love to have it hanging on my wall.

Some of those dogs just don't look right if that is the case how can they be classed as purebred and registered.

I received my renewal in the mail today, it's due at the end of the month. I have been paying $44.90 a month and the new rate is $52.18 a month, so an increase of only $7.23 which is a lot less than I was expecting.

I just had my policy renewal notice come through (after ringing and asking for it!) and both Moose and Nacho have gone from $40.65 to $58.39 each. I don't mind a premium increase but 50%!! Crikey moses.

Two Chihuahuas cost more for health insurance than I do. :laugh:

I can't understand the difference in rates when we both own the same breed.

I went from a D60 to a D5100 and have been happy with it. It's (was) far more advanced than the D60 as well as being a lot faster and lighter to hold. It is nearly time for me to up grade and I to am tossing up between D5300 or the D7100 but then I have a feeling there may be a D7200 released very soon. Ah the complications of life.

I find getting another one straight away helps me get over the loss. I normally get another come into my life within two weeks although there was one that that came home the same day we lost one but that was just how it happened.

I would go for the D5100 it is mid range in the entry level cameras. Yes they are outdated but a great camera that wont disappoint,

I have a D5100 and am very pleased with it although I want to update soon. If thinking of getting one I would get the D5300 as it's a newer model, the kit lenses are ok (I haven't used either of mine for years now)but it would be worthwhile investing in a 50mm .f1.8 lense.

I love the image of the pug you have captured his/her spirit, you have put emotion into and it's something I could gladly hang on my wall.

We are all critical of our own work and feel we can do better but when it all boils down it doesnt really matter if you have an ordinary shot or a prize winning one what does matter is you are having fun.

Have a look here https://www.facebook.com/groups/CameraGearBuySellandSwapItHere/?fref=ts they seem to get a lot of gear for sale.

It's a great camera I have had mine around 18 months now. I only use manual settings and even though it can be a challenge at first the more you practice the easier it becomes..... says she who still forgets to change settings.

Yes it is

If she was mine I would call her Kabibe which means little lady

In the dog crate razor blades and panadol (to this day have no idea where they came from) on my bed stinky dog toys and a dead rat.

We feed kangaroo meat, natures gift kangaroo as both are low in fat, rice with veges. She also has low fat biscuits (cant remember which one) from the supermarket and half a 4x2 for breakfast. She has been on this diet for a few years now and is doing really well on it.

Wishing Charlie a very happy birthday.

I have a Nikon AF-DX Micro Nikkor 40mm f2.8G its only a cheapie from HonKong $348 all up. It takes nice pics with lovely blurred background.
