Welcome to the DOL family handsome Jeff! T.

Wow! He's stunning! T.

But you wouldn't have her any other way, right Kirislin? T.

Awww... be good Molly! T.

Sadie is now taken... she will be desexed this week, then goes off to her new home... yay for Sadie! T.

Sadie is having a meet and greet today... Have emails enquiring about Eleanor (Ely), and Rigby that I've been trying to call, but they aren't answering so far... Sargeant Pepper was starting to get beat up, so he has come inside now with the big dogs... settled well in his overnight crate at bed time, and didn't make a peep or a mess all night. First thing this morning I took him outside and he did his thing like a little pro! And he hasn't peed or pooped in the house yet... T.

Puppies, yes... adults, no... unless it's very warm overnight. T.

Always make sure mine are contained/restrained when strangers come... my lot can be a bit overzealous in looking for loving, and some people don't appreciate getting jumped on by large dogs... T.

...http://www.ava.com.au/node/5415...their earnings seem to be not so high, so loosing a substantial part of their income due to less vaccinations has an impact... The salary is commensurate with their knowledge and skillset... straight out of school/study, that's not the worst salary on the planet... Most good vets that I know have a steady stream of clients coming through the door for all manner of things... they aren't losing out due to some people not wanting to vaccinate every year... T.

AND they'll take your cage and never return it! T.

Still here, but are listed on PetRescue now and getting quite a few views... a couple have had enquiries already... Jude has a new home to go to, but she can't pick him up until mid-October... Maxi might have a home near me with a friend I have dinner with on Friday evenings... They are getting bigger and noisier by the day... lol! And my backyard looks like the surface of the moon in some spots... they like to dig... errr! T.

Awesome news!! Congratulations! T.

I managed to build this pen that keeps my pet foxes securely contained... and it's been inspected and passed as secure... not really that hard... took me about 4 days on my own... ... and foxes are MUCH better escape artists than dogs! T.

Poor boys... fun spoiled by smarty pants ducks! T.

If she was indeed a declared dangerous dog, he would have had to have an escape-proof run for her to be in... problem solved... Rangers are pretty hand-tied with catching unrestrained dogs... apparently the OHS crap is so crippling that they won't actually catch a dog up unless it's completely unavoidable. My council rangers won't come out unless the member of public calling has already contained the dog for them... go figure! T.

Getting personal isn't going to sway anyone to your point of view Willem... we've been here before, remember? Personally, I'd only feed roadkill if I managed to get a very fresh one, and then froze it for a good 2 months prior to feeding out... and I have pet foxes whose digestive systems are designed to eat manky things... *grin*... but they get nice fresh meat that I drive a fair distance to get especially for them... spoiled buggers they are! T.

The dog's owners sound completely clueless... but at least they may be able to pay up if the stupid dog does bite someone... *evil grin* Seriously... who lets their dog run loose with tradies coming and going? I will contain mine even when I have visitors that aren't completely dog mad... T.

He's a white wombat... but a very handsome wombat... *grin* T.

Roos and wallabies can have coccidia... not a pleasant thing for your dog to get... I'd freeze it longer... T.

I'd just be a little leery of what parasites the roadkill may be carrying... I hope you are freezing for an extended period before feeding to your dog - to kill off any parasites. One of my workplaces breeds mice and rats for feeding reptiles and birds of prey, and we have to freeze them for at least 42 days before they can be thawed and fed out... and we know our rodents are parasite free! T.

Humping and nipping is dominant behaviour... make no mistake about it. The poor kid needs the dog to look at him as a friend, not as a victim to bully... and as it's not his dog, his options are pretty bloody limited. He needs to either ask for the dog to be kept somewhere where it's not being a PIA, or he has to make himself a less interesting bullying target... simple as that. T.

Seriously... do none of the other workers see what's happening here? Surely they could back the poor kid up and let the boss know that the dog is being a nuisance. It's an accident waiting to happen. I like the idea of befriending the dog if there is no way to keep it away from the workers... a nice pigs ear would keep it busy for a short while, and maybe the dog would then look at your son as a source of good things, rather than someone to dominate and potentially bite... T.

All Zeddy had was Meloxicam of an evening before bedtime so that she had less trouble getting up in the mornings... and it was only needed if the overnight temperature was going to drop below 8 degrees... seems that was the magic number that made her stiff... *grin* T.

I actually had a discussion with a vet that does our rescue desexing... he's of the opinion that the new vets coming through seem to only go for the easy options when it comes to the job... and if they can overservice, they are encouraged to do so by the franchises that now seem to own every other vet clinic nowadays... *sigh* T.
