  1. For the purposes of ceating the full picture of what took place we need a photo of the culprit.
  2. Cross bred pups have the same value as rescue pups. In my opinion it is only ethical to sell pups like this desexed. It is also unethical to make any claim about their working ability because they are only pet quality, nothing more. They should be sold at a minimum age of 8 weeks. Totally agree, Greytmate.
  3. You are often in my thoughts, Jed. Just popping into say hi. Sending you healing wishes and vibes for your heart and body.
  4. I recieved a card that been signed all the vet nurses and the vets who knew my dog. I thought that was very kind.
  5. They have now locked that discussion. But if anyone is interested to let the staff from the circle know here is the link. http://forums.ten.com.au/forums/category.jspa?categoryID=143
  6. It depends on the person making the comment and circumstances surrounding it. I am sure if a married person that was quite uppity about marriage called my child a bastard if it was born out of wedlock I would probably take offense (and think they were rather socially inept). Bastard is the correct but old fashioned term. Nowdays it is often used as an offensive word to abuse someone or something. Mongrel is similar in that way. So I understand why someone could take offense in that situation....there is no need to devalue someone elses situation to prop up your own stance and feelings of superiorority. Mutt, cross, mixed breed, rescue mutt obviously doesn't quite have the same conotations.
  7. Is she an escape artist? Fence jumper?
  8. I like the Triple crown everlasting treat thing. It is the blue one. I break a 4x2 biscuit into sections and shove it in by itself or with a little bit of kibble and a small smear of vegemite or peanut butter. You can also buy the treats that are made for it but I find the 4x2's last a good while if you keep the pieces as big as you can whilst still being able to fit them in the treat ball. They (4x2's) are good in the Kongs, too.
  9. I don't think it is pointless at all BB. When I saw the topic title I actually said to OH oooh theres a topic on the dogs sucking their tongues. Mine do it too. Very cute... especially when they end up sleeping with their tongues poking out.
  10. Maybe if there were only a couple of puncture marks that might why the other owner didn't think it important to take a photo at that stage. What were the cicumstances of the fight, if you don't mind me asking? Hope it all works out.
  11. Same. How appropriate for an Aussie.
  12. Sometimes there are exceptional circumstances that do make rehoming the only or best option. Unfortunately, most people that are getting rid of a pet believe they fit into that category.
  13. Well yeah..........the majority do find it ok in my opinion. Those who eat the meat are supporting the industry that is responsible. By eating it, people are accepting that "a cruel and torcherous slaughter" is ok. True.
  14. Sorry but that doesn't mean we are not allowed to offer up our opinion. Do you think most people who find the cruel and torcherous slaughter of dogs unacceptable would find a cruel and torcherous slaughter of any animals ok? If they were laughing on radio about male chicks being thrown in the blender do you not think people would find that disgusting also? The world isn't tickety-boo, regardless, but if we all had to make sure we were thoroughly cleansed of hypocrasy and completely righteous before we were allowed to have an opinion and/or attempt to contribute in a positive way about something then it would be even less tickety-boo and nothing positive would be done... Good old paralysis by analysis!
  15. Even though my Western sensibilities lend me to feeling ill and disgusted at the thought of people eating creatures that I have and consider to be members of my family, I am aware of the hypocracy. Fact is we are all hypocrites in one way or another. I do see the so called logical side of the argument though (which is subjective anyway) but the suffering these animals go through to provide a meal is inhumane to say the least. Absolute W@^%ers making a joke out of it.

    Rex

    I am so sorry for your loss Monelite. Rex was a stunning boy in looks and going by what you have shared about him on Dol he was even more stunning in nature. Run fast and free at the bridge beautiful Rex.
  17. Totally agree, LuvMyCav and beautifully said. Still sending healing thoughts to you, Jed.
  18. This is an old topic from months ago when ABC123 was doing her research and it just got bumped to the first page from a new post.
  19. I actually think your dogs are much purdier, Nekhbet.
  20. Candle lit. Posting link again for anyone who wants to light a candle for Jed as they only last 48 hrs. http://www.gratefulness.org/candles/candle...=eng&gi=DOL
