We had better hope they dont implement those laws, as it wont be long before the Moyne Shire starts looking at them, or doing something similar.

Yay Munchin posted lol, sorry just having fun

We will have a sunday one soon so maybe you can come to that Munchin

Will try and make that, if i am not teaching. And if i finally get all this stuff to the new house.

Sorry but cant make it, have to go see family this weekend. (4hr drive with 3 dogs and one cat) fun!

One day but not with dogs, or atleast not with two of them

And not sure my dogs will behave, have one that will probably try and eat all of the others. Small dog syndrome and a female to boot!

Okay as long as you dont bite hard!

I have 3 dogs, sorry kids. 14yr old heeler x (my old man deaf and almost blind), 13yr old jack (who is boss) and a 3yr old beast! (well maltese x). Hence no coming to training with them, the beast has an attention span of a gnat, and the other 2, well to late for them.

TNT going to have to try harder than that!

No i am not the mystery person who drives the maroon car.

Couldnt get back onto website until now and now i have to go again. Will try and post on Monday.

Hi everyone, i saw that front page news and was in a panic until i realised what the Standard had quoted was wrong, the price they put is for unsteralised dogs and cats not steralised. Have no idea how much they are going to put up the steralised fees to. Have a look on City website and you can see the original price and no mention of what is is going to go up to.

Then there is the whole issue of the council reducing the number of pets per household.
