Looks like Stan found the perfect "exercise" spot... lol! T.

I used to have a Rotti girl who would remove all the food from her bowl and then eat it off the floor... but if you put the food straight on the floor sans bowl, she wouldn't eat it at all... go figure? T.

I can't wait until her voice finally breaks... she still has a high pitched puppy bark when she decides to exercise her vocal chords... lol! T.

I've had my large dogs aggressively rushed by small dogs many times... but it's still MY responsibility to make sure that MY dogs don't react to the "threat" in a negative manner... Everyone is responsible for their OWN dogs' behaviour in public... and no-one should expect to be rushed or attacked by ANY dog. BUT, if you own a dog that could do lethal damage and is likely to react badly in public, then please either keep the dog at home, get a qualified behaviourist/trainer, and only ever take the dog to places where it won't be stimulated to react badly. It is NOT your "right" to exercise a reactive dog in a public space where it could do something unexpected and either injure or kill another dog - provoked or otherwise. T.

She's definitely gorgeous... but also very cheeky - and sometimes downright naughty... but I loves her to bits regardless... *grin* T.

No mymatejack... the issue is whether any dog should react to any stimuli in a way that causes the death of another dog. Quite simply... it's NOT tolerated. The people posting here who have small dogs AREN'T defending the fact that some small breed dogs may have owners that allow them to display inapporpriate behaviours in public spaces - but they ARE defending their right to be able to walk THEIR dogs without being targetted by larger breed dogs whose owners haven't socialised them properly. But you are probably going to keep ignoring that fact, aren't you? It's way more fun for you to make this about "small yappies getting their just desserts"... *sigh* T.

But you didn't run to the media and make accusations about what happened and who you thought did it, did you? T.

Oh my!! Aren't they all completely stunning?? You and Furia are doing an awesome job MonElite... ... and I see on your Facebook page that one has opened it's eyes already too! Gorgeous! T.

Harper is not crated when I'm at work now - only at night so she doesn't eat the house while I'm asleep... lol! As I have to keep Zeddy and Trouble separated, Trouble has the front half of the house (bedroom, bathroom, hall), and Zeddy, Pickles, and Harper have the kitchen and the back yard during the day while I'm at work. Trouble goes into her crate when I get home from work, and then when Zeddy goes to bed (she takes herself off to her room around 7:30-8:00pm), Trouble gets to have some Mummy time before I go to bed at around 11:30-midnight. Trouble and Pickles sleep on my bed, Zeddy has her own room with her fave beddy, and Harper snuggles up in her night crate. T.

Why on earth would one refuse a necropsy that would show beyond any doubt that their dog was poisoned - especially when they are espousing that theory via the media? T.

Awww.... he's beautiful gwp4me... awesome save! Loving those ears... and the camera stare... lol! T.

The only reason one would refuse a necropsy in a case like this is if the results may come back as something other than what is being claimed... No proof of claim, then claim is null and void. T.

Harper is 6 months old today! And she weighs in at 24.2 kgs... tall and lean, but I reckon she'll fill out some when she gets older - still all legs and ears now... lol! I've cut back how much she eats now too, as we seem to have hit a plateau, but she's still eating twice the amount that each of my other 3 get. She looks great on the amount she is getting, no ribs, but no fat either. We decided to see how she'd like a coat on today, and when there was a break in the yukky weather, we had her model it for us... *grin* As you can see, she didn't hate her jacket... hehe! T.

Run free and happy sweet Oakley... Hugs for you and Chloe baifra... T.

Oh - I don't know about that DD - how about Tamar's cute quirks? Dinner time and potty time spring to mind... *grin* T.

Should post a review, test out the site! I did better - I reported the listing with a link to Buddy's story here on DOL... *grin* T. Hmmm... maybe I should do that with a number of their advertising links all over the internet...

If you own a large dog and intend to take it out in public, it needs to be under enough control for it NOT to react to ANY stimuli in an aggressive manner... it's that simple. I own large dogs, and they've been rushed at, barked at, and outright set upon by other dogs of all shapes and sizes... but I have never allowed them to react in kind to any of those stimuli. My Rotti/Pittie cross girl was once jumped on by another bull breed dog who wasn't looking to play - she stood there quietly while I grabbed the other dog by the collar and got him off her, and I was nearly bitten by that dog in the process (funnily enough no owner in sight). She has also been rushed at aggressively by smaller dogs whose owners thought that sort of thing was funny, and she just looks at me to help her out of those sort of situations. That's MY job as her owner (and protector)... If you have ANY dog that is likely to react badly to certain situations, then it is YOUR responsibility to NOT place your dog in those situations. It's not rocket science people! T.

4 permanent residents is my magic number... and I foster pups for rescue, so the numbers here can fluctuate wildly at times. The last time I had 14 foster pups (8 in 1 litter, and 6 in the other)... it's doable if you are a "mad dog lady"... *grin* T.

*still waiting patiently for more photos of the gorgeous puppies and the stunning Furia* T.

There's a groomer listed there that hung a DOLer's dog recently... remember Buddy? Nope - me not likely to want to join... T.

No necropsy - when one was on offer - tends to make an onlooker/reader somewhat suspicious. A necropsy would have shown up what caused the dog to die, and then the owners would be in a much better position to fling accusations if poisoning was indeed found. T.

Not too hard to list the things the parents are tested for, and what goes into raising a healthy and well-adjusted pup, and then advertise a starting price for pups... just my humble opinion... T.

NSWAR have Elliot and Casey - both black fluffballs, and both cruisy laid back boys who play nice with others. Best we can tell about breed mix would be Lhasa cross (?) Elliot only has one working eye, and the other has a micro orbit, but vet advice is that doesn't need to be removed, just some fake tear drops every now and then keep his deformed eye in good nick. Elliot was the dog whose groomer won the recent Groomer's Shootout fun day at Morrisset. You can see Elliot getting his groom towards the end of the following video... - he was such a great little man standing there happily for Yumiko while she made him gorgeous.Casey looks almost identical to Elliot, but he has 2 working eyes... *grin* We are located in Sydney, but can get great prices for transport to pretty much anywhere in Australia.

My eyes are leaking lots.... *sob* T.

Make an application donatella... SOS will consider interstate adoptions to the right homes... *grin* T.
