We will be there tomorrow.

We'll be at the Nov 1st meet with Kiya and the ever growing Titan!

Good news that a rescue is demonstrating that they are willing to go through the official channels for this one and that the pound has agreed to it. This also means that if the pup passes BA and TT, that he can be adopted out and the person adopting will never have to worry if the dog comes under scrutiny in the future.

I was always curious about that part. If a dog makes it through the pound process and adopted out as an amstaff cross, then they cant come back later and change their minds?

Soo upset that he gets to resume his career again

Story from NFL website

We weren't happy with the BCxKelpies for sale out at the homemaker centre, so will stick with petstock instead.

We can dream it will happen sooner rather then later.

Ahhh, the dreams of a dogo can remain a slim possibility

Willow recently had a bout of KC, shes on her last pill now

Our vet told us when we took her in that the kennel cough part of the vaccine (c5) only lasts a maximum of 9 months, which is about how long ago she had her c5, so it adds up.

She was really sick the first few days, even though it was only upper respiratory. She was reverse sneezing every 5 minutes Shes back to the same old willow now though *sighs*

what also got me was John Garcia's love for Georgia.

watching him set up his sleeping bag in her pen was awesome I just wanted to fly right over and give cherry a cuddle

I Iq'd this on foxtel the other day, and i dont think anything has made me as emotional as this for a LONG time.

Theres been a few conflicting opinions on how best friends animal shelter is run, but the results on some of the dogs had me in tears. I had heard poor georgias story before, but seeing her was even sadder then i thought.

I wish i knew about best friends before my utah trip in 2006, i would have liked to visit them. Any organisation thats non kill and anti BSL has my thumbs up in general.

Willow does this to poor kiya ALL the time, lol.

She gets RIGHT into it as well Usually when kiya is relaxing on the couch, floor, or anywhere else she lays down.

I know how much you loved your boy and you know how much Willow loved him too.

i cant find the smaller one, sorry for the huge pic :x

You did what you could, gave him a happy home for many years when others would have given up long ago. *big hugs* for you at this time, and you know where we are if you need anything at all.

Rogster, keep a spot warm next to you when its time for my willow to come join you.

For you and brodie :D

Another one here with everything crossed for your little one.

willow has 2 tattoos, one for her desexing

The other is for her microchip, at least i dont have to worry about it moving.

we are currently going through puppy classes at the moment. he is quite smart and trainable WHEN I HAVE HIS ATTENTION! (like 10 mins out of the hour - the rest he just wants to play with the other pups!)

Bloody willow is still like that NOW Home, shes fine, does just about everything i ask her to do. At training, pffft, forget it, she hits play mode and getting her attention is impossible. I guess its the problem about have a dog thats *too* social

nothing helpful to add, other then WOW, stunning boy

Does she get much exercise? Does she have any toys to stimulate her mind? A kong or boredom buster or a home alone toy? Do you do any obedience classes?

Chopper used to be a frickin nightmare. He destroyed everything in his path, including washing on the line. He's nearly three now and he's still got bucketloads of energy. He has calmed down somewhat by doing all the things above. I also leave nothing of any value in his vicinity, it'd only set him up to fail

Willow gets daily walks, has a kong, home alone, and goes to obedience

She still loves to pull the washing off the line purely as a revenge thing when we go somewhere without her Shes never once damaged anything, just leaves it there on the ground, lol. We tried the pepper thing, it stopped her for a little while, but now shes smart enough to work out which ones have it on them, and which ones dont

We just make sure washing days are days when someone is around to supervise, lol.

so so nice ruth

I want one of those for willow when it gets a little warmer

ETA - erm, does the fact that Trixie has one, means shes an official FF now?

the ONLY thing that works for willow at training is dried sheep lung

Choppa:

I should never of let you leave.....

Why? What happened? :p

He'd only been in his new home for a couple of weeks , I was nearly going to keep him as well as CJ

It was a dog attack , he went of cardiac arrest whilst in surgery :p

Just so bloody unfair :p

Thankyou guys for the support and warm wishes , much appreciated.

Certainly didn't expect them again so soon .

OMG sweetheart, i just saw this ;)

I agree with what some have said, the most special one got sent to be with his dad to keep him company when waiting for you. I wish i was closer so i could come give you a big :p but i am thinking of you guys.

My dogs get fruit as part of their barf diet. I buy whatever is not too expensive at the time. definitely no grapes as they are toxic to dogs, but pretty much everything else.

Their favourite fruit?

They would kill for mango but they have to get it off me first, and that is not likely to happen lol

I was watching a show on foxtel the other night *dogs with jobs*. They had a gorgeous shep that does mine clearing. The cutest part was when the handler was sitting down with it sharing a mango The dog was going NUTS for it! I dont eat them, so poor willow misses out. She loves strawberries, and thats about it.

Willow ate the feet off her cuz in about 5 mins, then lost interest in it

Her Kong dissapered, god knows where that went

The only think she LOVES is the rope i bought her from petstock They are great, i got the thickest one they had, the last one lasted me 4 months.

i cant really add anything else, other then to say Tash and Kyra.

Shes such a cutie, i hope everything works out for her.

You will find in such a large online community, there are differing opinions about all food

Some people love hills, and their dogs do well on it, some people hate it. I swapped from hills to eagle pack, because eagle is the only one willow actually eats And again, some people like eagle pack, others dont!

The best dry food is the one your dog does well on, if they look healthy, have a nice coat, and eat it, i say go for it.

I remember rowdys story little one :rolleyes:

I agree, its a TERRIBLE thing for all involved :rolleyes: for the poor carers, they must feel terrible.

Sorry about the repost pic, but heres willows set up Slightly different now, but in the same place.....

She hasnt actually used it yet, her official crate bed i bought yesterday is too big, grrr, so its back to petstock for an exchange. Currently willow sleeps on the bed with me, and holds her need for the toilet in till whenever she feels like getting out of bed now (which is sometimes AFTER me!!!!!)

She quite happily laid in bed till 11:30am the other morning!
