Run free and like the wind little Herbert man... T.

I reckon that solo pup had already snuck in and had his din-dins before the others realised the buffet was there... *grin* T.

Squeeeaaalll!!!!! PUPPIES! They are doing really well - and growing fast! Awesome save, and an awesome job being done by both Honey and her carer. T.

I'm not a fan of retractable leads... seems that most of the people who use them really have no clue and don't pay enough attention to what their dog is actually doing. T.

Now there's a job I could happily throw away my current one for... Doggy Daycare Attendant. Look at how happy Miss Roo looks with her mates at daycare... and I think she's possibly the prettiest one in the whole place! Thanks for the updates regarding the work you have still to do with Nekh... sending calm vibes for the lovely Roo so she relearns that being at home without Mummy isn't such a bad thing (and that Mummy always comes back) T.

Thanks Nekh... you've met Roo and know what should work for her at this time. T.

Even the Amish can get bored with the shunning lifestyle... lol! Missed ya chicky! T.

An investigation is taking place. Imagine if the council didn't investigate? Just because someone was sacked doesn't mean the complaints aren't right either. The complaints must have been very serious for a suspension to take place bs a notice to improve? AWL QLD have an awesome reputation for their progressive moves toward a sustainable no-kill solution... and if this all ends up being a hoo-haa raised by some disgruntled ex-volunteers, then shame on them! Seriously though - most kennels are not the prettiest places at the best of times... but the fact that the RSPCA did not find anything amiss with the conditions or the animals in care should have counted for something... T.

I'm glad to see ya back MUP... T.

I was thinking the same thing myself mita... Nekh - is there any way to see if Jelly may be happier at home with a friend for company? T.

It's not the first time disgruntled ex-volunteers have caused trouble for reputable organisations. I'd like to know the reasons the complainants' are ex-volunteers - were they asked to leave perchance? T.

Oooohhh! Nekh is coming to Sydney! Wanna meet Pickles the Spastic Camp Dog? She's a training challenge if you want one... lol! T.

What exactly are the allegations that necessitated the AWL to remove themselves AND 140 animals from the premises and have their contract suspended? The fact that the 140 animals were allowed to go with them appears to the layman that the AWL aren't suspected of any acts of negligence or cruelty... or the animals would have had to stay put, yes? T.

OK - who's going to organise the bus to get all us crazy NSW peeps and dogs down there? T.

I got pics of Harper and Tiger this afternoon... you can find them here... http://www.dolforums.com.au/topic/246351-introducing-tori-teddy-tango-toby-and-tiger/page__view__findpost__p__6158102 T.

Hot off the presses... size doesn't matter... really it doesn't! T.

Thank you for coming here to clear the air (somewhat) about the situation at Ipswich pound, Cr Antoniolli. May we ask whether the RSPCA may have a tender pending for the pound service - and if so, will you be recommending that ANY contractor taking on the pound service should attempt to KEEP working with private rescues to maximise the number of animals rehomed from Ipswich pound? You must admit that this is part of why the AWL have had much success with their rehoming rates to date... T.

Thanks LG... you can probably tell that I love puppies way more than the average person... and rescue just has so many... *sigh* Well - Master Houdini didn't get out of his day pen today - so no destruction or poo waiting for me when I got home... yay!! I must get some pics of Tiger and Harper playing... the size difference is HUGE, but she plays so well with him, and he loves her to bits... T.

Thanks Powerlegs and lou_x... I think I'm calm about the destruction puppies can cause because I've fostered so many now... lol! Tiger was just finding ways to entertain himself is all - seeing as his toys were all in his day pen, and he couldn't get back in to play with them... *sigh* Fixing electrical cables sin't hard when you grow up with a technician for a dad... He's been well secured in his day pen today - I have put extra clips on the area he escaped through yesterday. T.

Under existing fees, if you register your entire dog, then desex it later, you don't get any refund either. Not a huge incentive to have your dogs desexed, is it? T.

Some of the recommendations wouldn't be necessary if the powers that be would effectively police the current laws and regulations. Typical "solution" - throw more regulations and laws into the mix that will only negatively affect responsible pet owners... *sigh* T.

I'm thinking... "Hey ladies, you know what they say about a man with big ears... big wallet!" T.

Do you think he might try using kitty litter? We had a chi in rescue who had been trained to use a litter tray... T.

Thanks peeps! One of my workmates bought me a lovely chocolate cake in the shape of a dog... and I couldn't bring myself to cut it - so I made someone else do it... lol! He tasted really yummy! Got home to find that Tiger needs a name change to Houdini - he had gotten out of his day pen and wreaked carnage on my electric blanket cord (luckily not plugged in), and peed and pooped everywhere. He's going in the outside pen tomorrow... lol! Oh - and I found that as I had a nanna nap on the couch last night, he'd gotten to my phone cable and my house phone wasn't working. That is fixed now, and I'll get around to fixing the electric blanket cord before I need to use it again. Anyways, Tiger and Harper are playing quietly... must go see what they might be destroying now... T.
