You might be onto something!! Never thought of it that way! No, no - refuse to entertain that idea :p The poor unsuspecting public should Luna, Lace, or Zeph's sisters Fire and Nova have a litter. Behind their adorable cuteness and charm, lies evil geniuses with an amazing amount of confidence, who can problem solve like Einstein. It is very scary. Maybe we should be looking for stunning suitors who are not very clever Hahahaha! too funny! T.

I have always known that there was something very special about wee Trouble... *grin* T.

keep wishing :p Pretty please?? With a cherry on top... T.

You really need to send him to me perse... honest! T.

A hell of a lot faster than I could have done it... let's face it, I COULDN'T have done it at all... lol! T.

Older and slower? Who just finished a half marathon in pretty quick time? T.

And naughty! Very, very naughty, and cheeky, and confident, and busy.. I want a holiday! Want to look after her for a while? Until she's finished teething? Sure! Send her up to me... *grin* T.

She's growing up stunning, isn't she? *swoon* T.

Geez! Wouldn't want to live on the Central Coast... lots of reports there... ... but based on several DOLers accounts, not much followup on said reports... *sigh* Funny how we don't get any breakdown on the followup to those reports... T.

I think the rise in reports is that with the new rules, it's easier to do so... and for some rather trivial reasons to boot... what one person sees as a menacing rush, someone else would see as an enthusiastic happy greeting of a new friend by an exhuberant pup... T.

I used to have my Flickr linked to my Gmail account, but then Flickr ended up forcing a Yahoo account on me... but my primary email address is still my Gmail one - everything from Flickr gets redirected to my primary email address. T.

We had a pet duck that used to beat up the neighbourhood dogs... he was one nasty piece of work! T.

OMG! cuteness overload! T.

I'm pretty sure all 4 of my dogs see me as their "heart person"... T.

Seriously... when are you sending him to me perse? *grin* T.

She is the prettiest piggie ever! T.

I was getting the stupid Yahoo white banner this morning too too... just logged in again now and it's gone... T.

Rat traps set with chocoloate... they can't resist chocolate. My dad would set one in the roof and it would go off before he could replace the manhole cover! T.

Yes... and she's done some amazing work with her local pounds... a very deserved nomination. T.

I've been in the same situation a few times myself... and you are right, they are the hardest ones to send to God... but they just wouldn't have been safe to rehome, and you can't keep a dog in a shelter environment forever. Rescue has a responsibility to the community as well as to the animals they "save"... T.

High value treat reward for giving you the fetch toy? T.

There are a couple more within driving distance I'd like to check out too... Hunter Valley Zoo has baby meerkats at the moment... and is probably at my furthest reach for a day trip there and back. Then there's the Reptile Park at Gosford/Somersby, Nowra Zoo, Castle Hill Koala Park (I hear it's pretty run down though), the Manly Aquarium. Mogo, Dubbo, and Canberra are also high on my list of zoos to visit - just have to find boarding for the 4 dogs and accommodation in either place for a day or two to make it worthwhile. A friend is currently quoting a big roofing job in Canberra, so if he gets it, he will be living there for a while to do the job - can bunk with him for that... and I have a zookeeper friend in Dubbo who I could probably lob with for a few days... oh and a friend in Bateman's Bay (near Mogo)... Damn! What am I waiting for? (apart from a job so I can afford to do all of the above... lol!) T.

So... since being made redundant last month, I've been indulging myself a bit at my fave Sydney zoos... camera in tow... I'm pretty darned chuffed with the results too... https://www.flickr.com/photos/tdierikx/sets/ Feel free to peruse at your leisure (or not)... *grin* T.

Dogs are generally immune to Funnel Web spider venom... unless they are allergic, then you'll see pretty quick symptoms and need to get them to a vet - like with a bee sting... My Harper was playing with a Funnel Web the other week... picking it up and swooshing it about in her mouth then spitting it out. It was arcing up at her each time she went to pick it up too - one seriously unhappy Funnel Web! Then I squashed it and spoiled all her fun... *sigh* T.

Hacked Yahoo account? May need to check you can still access that too... T.
