Zeddy's birthday is 28th August... T.

One of mine (Harper) has never had a bath in her life... and she'd probably defecate in one if you tried it! Pickles goes all Tassie Devil with cerebral palsy if you try to make her wet... errr! Trouble and Zeddy were brought up with the "I don't care if you don't like it, it's gonna happen" method, and they do fine having a bath - even though they get that hang dog look while it's happening... lol! T.

My old girl Zeddy will be 16 next month... and last winter she needed Meloxicam in order to get out of bed in the mornings... This winter is colder and wetter, and she is coping just fine with her new fleecy lined coat and new high sided beddy... go figure! Wouldn't change them for the world though, would we? T.

Pups are such fun, aren't they? The best you can do is only reward when she's quiet... take Roo off somewhere and leave her to her own devices in her crate or another room where the noise is dampened some. T.

There is such intelligence in those eyes... Don is such a spunk! T.

It's so hard to make the quality/quantity decisions... my heart aches for you westiemum. I would probably go the quality route if that's what agrees with Mac the best... and make whatever time he has left comfortable... pretty much what you are already doing, yes? Please give Mac (and the rest of the gang) lovey cuddles from Aunty T... T.

Glad to hear he's doing OK today westiemum... hang in there! T.

He's finally a big boy! T.

Ernie looks good Stressy... definitely not a huge porker like some Labs get. My girl is much leaner than Ernie, but she's also 9 years old, so I keep her at just under the 3 score. Upside is that she still plays zoomies like a 2 year old... lol! I have the opposite problem with Pickles (the Spastic Camp Dog)... she eats more than Trouble the Lab, even though she's half the size, but it's almost impossible to keep the weight on her - add to that the fact that her muscle tone is all wrong due to her mobility issues, and she's one funny looking skinny binny. T.

Oh westiemum... I hope Mac is feeling better this morning, and last night was a one-off... hang in there! T.

Look at those lovely long legs! T.

Sometimes it pays to be the littlest one in the pack... lol! T.

I'd still get mine from here... http://www.digitalcamerawarehouse.com.au/category1380_1.htm As you can see, their prices are a bit better than JB HiFi... the savings JB are telling you aren't all that much really... I'd get the camera and the Tamron 18-270mm lens set myself... T.

All 4 of mine do it... and I've pretty much given up all hope of it stopping... Zeddy is 16 next month... T.

Hahaha! But she looks so purty against the white snow... T.

Try to find the females too... they are usually hard to spot as they are a light brown colour... T.

How about a nice Splendid Fairy Wren? Or a Varigated Fairy Wren? Obviously I cheated and took these of caged birds... lol! T.

Nice!!! Those Fairy Wrens are flighty little buggers, aren't they? T.

She was just checking that you were still on your game... lol! T.

I'm starting as a student volunteer keeper at Featherdale next friday... at some point I'll have to do a rotation with all the birds there... hopefully that nasty female little eagle won't recognise me in keeper uniform... lol! Featherdale have a huge number of birds... from the tiny finches through to wedge tailed eagles... I can't wait to get up close to a few of them... T.

Love the ears! T.

Do you drive him to the park? Maybe a nice long walk might be a good way to wear him out a bit before letting him loose at said park? T.

Sadly that isn't always the case. I lost my perfectly healthy 6yr old aussie to aspiration pneumonia and I can assure you she had the best vet care possible, it just wasn't enough. Pneumonia can be very deadly so you were very lucky. We used double strength antibiotics for a good week to get the cough cleared up... and single strength for another week to make sure! My vet doesn't mess about... lol! But what I'm saying is that apart from the article saying that the pup died 9 days after purchase, there is very little detail as to how long it had been showing any symptoms. Pneumonia doesn't develop overnight... there will be some signs of illness long before it is at death's door... T.

Mine are heat seeking missiles at the moment too... lol! T.

Look at what a friend of mine is hand rearing right now... http://www.penrithcitygazette.com.au/story/3191721/gallery-featherdale-wildlife-park-babies-are-growing-up/?cs=12 Lucky sod had to get out of bed at 3am this morning to feed the little ratbag! T.
