  1. I have had the pleasure of meeting the delightful Charlie Brown, and he is a lovely little Man. Good on you for inviting him into your home
  2. R.I.P Mandrake I'm sorry for the loss of your friend Rozzie
  3. RIP beautiful little Bean You did a fantastic job protecting your family, brave little one.
  4. I just wanted to say thank-you :) Thank you for originally adopting an adult dog and giving it a fantastic second chance at life. And now thank-you for giving another rescue dog a chance and not giving up on it when things got rough. I have found this thread really inspiring and heart-warming. Thanks again :D
  5. Coming soon...the next installment - "I hate uteruses" Katherine looks HOT!
  6. We have just started selling it in our Clinic and are yet to get feed back on it. The flea controll is the same as comfortis, so is fast acting and effective. The internal parasite controll apparently only targets one life stage of the worms (unlike Advocate which does all the life stages - as kindly pointed out by the Bayer Rep) Panoramis also does not cover Tapeworm, so ideally this should also be done every 3 months still.
  7. One of the transcriptions used in English to describe a dog's bark - with a "Y" on the end
  8. RIP Dillon - look out for my Zeusy boy there over the bridge (he's the 3-legged rotty)
  9. RIP Miss Molly, it sounds like your were a treasured pet
  10. Ah this is more like what I was looking for - I particularly like the look of the Herring & Salmon Formula. BW do you know where it is available presently? Unfortunately I know Pets Paradise, Pet Goods Direct & Pets R Fun stock the food (Paradise Retail Holdings group) unfortunately they also sell livestock. Hopefully it you will see it rolled out in many more non-livestock-selling retailers. If you email them, the company should be able to tell you who else is starting to stock it. It really is a great food - I have been to the old manfacturing plant & testing facilities in Nebraska and it was incredible !! I just hope P&G keep the brands integrity. Thanks Bow Wowy - naturally would prefer not to support puppy retail stores. Saw Husky and Lab pups in the windows for sale the other day:( Don't know why I look it always upsets me. Who is P&G? Proctor & Gamble

  12. http://www.evopet.com/ This amazing food used to only be available through a certain chain of pet stores until it was recently brought out by P&G. Should be more widely available now or soon - just hope P&G don't change the quality of the food.
  13. JulesP I am so sorry for your loss. Surround yourself with people/animals you love and take care of yourself.
  14. I can vouch for AIRC also as they are who I have done my Cert IV through. They are very thorough and accomodating. They do expect alot from their students in the way of assignments etc (case studies ), but I beleive you are a better nurse for it. What kind of practical work do you do through the AIRC course? When you join you can opt to take part in the study groups. In the study groups sometimes there will be some practical work - like folding drapes, examining a lecturers dog etc. Mostly however it is theory. I would have loved more practical training when I was doing the course and I think that has improved recently.

  16. Only if it was icecream I didn't want ;) Some icecream is just too good to share
  17. Curiosity. I had been working in a pet shop for 7 1/2 years when I first heard about DOL and how anti-pet shop they were. I honestly didn't understand why people thought pet shops were so bad, so I decided to check out DOL and see what it was all about. After reading DOL regularly for a few months my whole view on pet shops changed. I began to question everything from where did our puppies "really" come from? to, where do they end up? It really began to disturb me and I began to feel so guilty and dissatisfied with my job that I hated going to work. Within 15months of joing DOL I got out of the "pet retail" industry and got into vet nursing with a wonderful vet who I love and admire. I have just graduated my Certificate 4 in Veterinary Nursing and am LOVING my job now!!! Literally DOL has changed my life.
