Go Neko!! The little black streak! T.

I'd be thinking that some (maybe quite a few) Poodle breeders might be a little leery of an unknown person wanting a mains registered bitch with a view to breeding. And with the high incidence of poodle crosses out in the market, one can probably understand why they may be a bit precious about supplying same, yes? If you are really wanting to become a registered Poodle breeder, maybe doing some groundwork might be in order... go to some shows, get to know breeders/exhibitors personally, make yourself known to them... then maybe someone will want to mentor you into the world of breeding top quality poodles. It's not as simple as getting a prefix and a couple of mains registered dogs and putting them together... it's going to take a fair bit of effort on your part long before you even look at getting to that point. T.

Uh oh! Looks like the Boss may end up with his own little heart dog... lol! T.

You SO need to send him to me perse! T.

I've got a huge colony of the smaller (but no less bitey) black ants under my backyard paths... must be an enormous colony under there because the path is cracked and mangled... *grin* They tend to come to the surface before it rains and other odd times... not much fun when you step in a horde of the bitey little buggers! T.

The ones with wings will go off to start their own colony apparently... T.

Sweet! Thanks VizslaMomma! Will check them out... T.

I so want to get one of the 30" ones for the tigers at Symbio - in red... their fave colour is red apparently... *grin* Either that or a red plastic 40 gallon drum would do just as well methinks... just where the hell would I get one? T.

Too cute for boots! T.

Worming and vaccs in one hit can give them the runs... if she's otherwise happy and eating/drinking fine, just feed boiled chicken and rice for a few days, then wean back onto her regular food. Some of the wormers out there can be a little hard on the tummy... T.

Awww.... can Smoke keep up on his little legs yet? T.

LOL @ Zeph! T.

Pour Coca Cola on the stain - leave for a while, then wash off... Coke can get oil out of most hard surfaces. You might end up with a super clean spot though... lol! Alternate thing to try is degreaser... a carpet cleaner friend of mine swore by the stuff... he used to mix some in with his steam cleaning fluids (after checking that the carpet wasn't plastic fibre based). Worked to get out dog birthing stains out of one rental I lived at... in fact the real estate agent said that the carpet was cleaner when I left than when I'd moved in... hehe! T.

Trouble my Lab will be 9 in 9 days time... still has those crazy lab moments at regular intervals... that's the joy of living with a Labrador... lol! T.

My Lab loves water, but can be hit or miss when it's raining... it seems that water coming from the sky is kinda scary or something - but pooled water of any depth is FUN! T.

Can't decide if that last photo is showing off his true love look, or his I'm about to be very silly look... T.

She just gets prettier by the day! T.

Harper the Horse Puppy won't go out to DO a poo in the rain... but will go out to EAT one... grrr! T.

Go Iris! T.

Gorgeous! T.

My pleasure... glad to be of assistance... *grin* T.

Just copy the BBCode from Flickr, and just paste it as is into your post - no need to add any extra tags... T.

Sorry Gruflife, but if you had read a fraction of what goes on in that place you would not be wondering why people are getting so upset about it. Obviously every one would like people to be more responsible when buying their pets and look after them for life but that is not what this is about. This is about people who are entrusted to 'look after' the animals in the care, doing the exact opposite. This is about the animals. They may have had the misfortune of having crappy owners but they do not deserve what happens to them in there. I beg to differ teekay... Gruf has a very valid point there... If more effort went into reducing the easy "turnover" of pets, then maybe shelters would be less crowded and therefore be able to do more about their rehoming rates. Pounds and shelters are only in existence because people let their animals end up there - for whatever reason - and the space in pounds/shelters is actually finite... Releasing animals to rescue is not the solution to the initial problem - it's a fallback for an untenable position. T.

Love it Kirislin!!! T.

Are the photos uploaded to Flickr in JPG format? Flickr allows PNG format, but I don't think DOL does... Or you may be selecting the wrong code format for the link in Flickr... you need to select BBCode (3rd one above the box where the link is) T.
