As many others did, I followed the story of your gorgeous girl and her siblings. Looks like she has really landed on all four paws finding a wonderful home with you. ;) I am sure Cazstaff and everyone else will be so happy to get such a wonderful update. ETA.... Awwwww. Just had another look at the piccies. :D

I think Jaxx's Buddy wrote the perfect reply to that kind of comparison statement in an unrelated topic recently......... "I am concerned about this as well....i multi-concern ;) ."

Naturally occuring bush fires cause more damage (in terms of CO2 output) than humans could ever manage. Nature is an irresponsible skank who doesn't care about the environment. Totally agree. What has nature ever done about the hole in the Ozone Layer? Nothing.

I cut off the extra http and looked anyway. Thanks for starting this topic. My sooky lala pup will be loving life in his sleeping bag bed and I might get a comfortable nights sleep as it might help keep him from sneaking under my doona.

Thanks for the replies and links everyone. I have considered making one. When I mentioned this to other half, he just said pfft, just buy one already! The snooza one doesn't quiet look snuggly enough The top layer looks a bit too light like a sheet The cocoon from whippetwear is the one I really like The other one that is nice is This one! Hmmmm decisions decisions! Yoohoo! Sir WJ, that link is not working......One too many http//s. They do look very toasty so I'll think about getting one for next winter.

One of the big reasons rescue organisations are particular about the home their dogs are adopted in to is because they do not want the dog ending up in the same situation again. I think it would be irresponsible to rehome a dog that is displaying human aggression.....especially into a home with a 10 year old child (and even more concerning to household that holds opinion).

I call that patience.

You don't sound like you have your finger on the pulse of the latest Gold Coast corture. See, I actually do like the grey and tan but it just won't go with my white jandles, white slacks, white singlet, white bag and frangipanni hair clip. I don't mind hot pink as an accent colour though so if you could do hot pink I would be happy to do business with you. This is what you need for the coast - Totally new and different. Leave those doodlies for dead. an absolute must have accessory. Unfortunately, it only comes in four colours, white, white white and white not hot pink. How about a nice hot pink latex cardi with rhinestones? The whole look will just be soooooooooo hot, specially if you are parading up and down Cavill or Orchid Ave. SOLD1 You certainly know how to please your customers. You will need to message me your details as your web address and PO Box number seems to keep changing.

How is the timing of our posts, Crazy Daisy?

Is ShonkyPaws affiliated with NudiePaws (Wazzat) in anyway or can you organise something for some litters? I would like a nude dog with Cavalier ears. I would like its skin to be white, though, as summer is coming up soon and black is more a winter colour.......I'll probably grab a winter one during your Mothers Day specials.

Oh, I remember them. Yeah, I want one of those because I ever got stuck in quicksand, tripped and broke a leg or fell down a well they are the breed of dogs that either drag you to safety or go and get help.

This is good thinking. Everyone knows that buying another dog will solve the issues with your existing dog. But I think what you really need is a girl dog that will see Kuma happily henpecked. Fortunately, we also have older dogs avalable from time t time and I know just the thing: No dog in its right mind is going to take on Muffy I agree that adding another dog right now will help sort the rank issues, but, I would have thought an extreemly dominant, entire male would have been a better option. A dog like that will take the pressure of Kuma so that pack harmony will be restored. ( )

I think the reason some people do this is a bit of a chest beating thing. Makes them feel good and in control parading around with a dog off lead. If only they knew what irresponsible idiots they looked.

I agree, megan. It just seems that there is a perception that spending that kind of money on a pet is a waste.

LINK Couple spend $25,000 on sick pet II Gato described as a "moggy miracle" Survives brain surgery, two heart attacks A MELBOURNE moggy is a $25,000 medical miracle. Il Gato has twice died on the operating table - and twice been brought back to life by a desperate vet who massaged his heart until it began beating again. The cat has survived delicate brain surgery and life-threatening encephalitis, meningitis and two apparently fatal heart attacks. Yet he remains purring proof that some cats really can have nine lives. The former street stray's devoted owners drew on their house deposit savings, cancelled plans for an overseas holiday and have delayed parenthood to pay their pampered pet's vet bills. Charmion Phillips, 35, has given up her job as a scientific photographer to stay at home to be a full-time carer to the five-year-old tabby. Relaxing at home in Preston, Il Gato sports the scars that show his indomitable will to live. Staples stretch the length of his nose where specialist vet Charles Kuntz entered the cat's nasal cavities to cut out the infection. Unfortunately, that became brain surgery. "He's had a nasal fungal condition for so long that we discovered during surgery that it had spread up into his skull where it had penetrated and eaten away the bone," Dr Kuntz said. "We had no option but to remove a section of the skull." Il Gato has been plagued by breathing problems usually treated easily by medication. But his situation became so dire, his owners attended the Southpaws specialist veterinary centre in Moorabbin to say their last goodbyes and collect him for a home burial. "Even though he had twice died and twice been brought back to life by Dr Kuntz, he somehow seemed to rally again when he heard our voices," Ms Phillips said. "He had been on life support overnight and when staff removed it so we could take him home, he started breathing on his own for the first time." Dr Kuntz, no stranger to extraordinary feats of veterinary surgery, described Il Gato as a "moggy miracle". "To survive one fatal attack is pretty good but to come back after a second is nothing short of a miracle," he said. "To start breathing after his life support was turned off was just amazing." Multiple scans that showed the shocking extent of Il Gato's infection, the surgery, around-the-clock care in a humidicrib, life support, medication and anaesthesia have taken Charmion and Mark Phillip's vet bill to over $25,000. But the pair, who live in a rental property, could and would not put a price on their pet's life. "It's a lot of money we have spent but we have spent a lot of money before on overseas holidays that last a week and Il Gato has given us six years so far." I also saw this on TV this morning. The couple actually spent the $25000 over 6 months for treatment and different vets and specialists. Koshy seemed to have a jugemental tone regarding the cost. There is one comment attatched to the article saying, "It's a cat!". It seems that there is a perception among many that to spend over a certain amount on a pet for medical attention is somehow crass and the media always seem to jump on the monetary figure. If someone spent $25000 on a jetski, boat, car or a million other things (not that I could offord it) there would hardly be a raised eyebrow but somehow spending a large amount on a sick companion is somehow offensive and I have actually heard people say in response to similar media beat ups in the past that the money could have been used for homeless people or other such charities. What do others think? BTW, Glad the cat survived. Charles Kuntz is a member here. Nice work Charles.

I wouldn't think so. If a tyre blew out on my car through no fault of my own and I caused damage to someone elses car as a consequence I am still liable to pay the damages as I am the one (supposedly) in control of the car. Not actually comparing my dog to a car just using the above as an example. My dog=my responsibility.

Yeah. That is really lovely of you, Ker. Still sending those healing wishes your way, Jed.

In situations like that I always call my vet to see if they suggest coming in.

Gotta love topics with Orbit photees. He looks so purdy in his jimjams.

Saxonpup, I don't understand why you think it would be worth the OP considering rehoming? The comment made at the end of the last post by the OP came across as tongue in cheek and you even said your self it was in a joking sort of way.

And so you should, GG. For $25 there is no way you could knock that back.

GoldenGirl, I'd snap it up at that price. If you don't want it I'll be running to get second in line. I have seen them for $199. Great price corvus.

Still sending through healing wishes and vibes, Jed, for your heart and your body.

For the purposes of ceating the full picture of what took place we need a photo of the culprit.
