  1. @Loving my Oldies there is a cutie here https://www.dogzonline.com.au/breeds/mature/pekingese.asp
  2. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/18h8PixPzy/ New Guinea Highland Wild Dog Foundation 1996, I was fortunate enough to be able to travel to Papua New Guinea to search for New Guinea Singing Dogs. I was choppered to a remote outpost atop, Mt. Stolle in PNG's far Western Sandaun Province, where I stayed for 30 days. Two hours walk, downslope, was the remote traditional village of Monokomofib, consisting of 14 people. These villagers reported that, occasionally, this male wild dog ( pictured ) would visit the village, scavenge for scraps, and if the timing was right, breed with village dog females. One thing to note: On both sides of the Island of New Guinea remote traditional villagers clearly differentiate between wild dogs and their village dogs (physically and behaviorally). I was able to snap just one picture of the wild dog before it disappeared into the dense forest. Prior to our first expedition in 2016, there had only been 3 photos taken of “wild “ dogs on New Guinea. The first was by Tim Flannery in 1989, in which, before DNA sequencing, he declared it through phenotype, a New Guinea Singing Dog. The next was my photo (included here) in 1996 and the third was the Tom Hewitt photo taken in 2012 in West Papua. The recent, and far more accurate, method of evaluation is genetic sequencing, which is purely objective and empirical, while observations, even when done by experts, are subject to bias. In 2018, The New Guinea Singing Dog was documented, fort the first time, scientifically, as a result of the work of the New Guinea Highland Wild Dog Foundation.

  5. maybe a harsher sentence similar to this 12 year seentence https://www.facebook.com/share/p/17rkSsTUw7/ Warrington Police Sean Garner, the owner of an unregistered XL bully which killed 84-year-old John McColl in Warrington has been sentenced to 12-years in prison. Garner was previously found guilty of owning a dog that caused injury while dangerously out of control following a six-day trial and also pleaded guilty to two counts of possession of a fighting dog. This post and the associated article contain details that some may find upsetting. On Monday 24 February 2025, John McColl had been returning to his home on Mullen Close, Dallam. After getting off the bus, CCTV footage showed Mr McColl crossing the road before entering Garner’s driveway on Bardsley Avenue. It is unknown why he entered the driveway, however just moments later a member of the public heard Mr McColl screaming for help while being attacked by Toretto, an unregistered XL Bully owned by Garner. Emergency services were called to the scene and on arrival police found Mr McColl lying in the driveway with serious injuries. However, due to the dog remaining in close proximity, officers were unable to provide first aid. Firearms officers were called to the scene and a decision was taken to dispatch the dog in order to provide lifesaving treatment to Mr McColl. A second unregistered XL Bully was also located in Garners address and was also dispatched by officers to ensure the safety of all those present. In total, 19 on-target shots were required to bring the horrific attack to a safe conclusion. Paramedics provided lifesaving treatment to Mr McColl at the scene before he was transported to hospital. Garner was quickly identified as the owner of the dogs and was subsequently spoken to by officers over the phone and asked to return to his home. Instead, Garner attempted to evade our officers before handing himself in days later in Runcorn. Mr McColl spent over a month in intensive care, where he underwent several operations but despite the best efforts of all those involved, he passed away on Sunday 30 March.

  6. contact a vet who has Vet Pay (https://vetpay.com.au/). You really want to find out exactly what the problem is as there may be an obstruction in your dog's stomach. Please don't muck around if the dog has been vomiting for a few days...see your vet and: Where in the world do you live?
  7. Awful news Kirislin, I still have the photo of Neko that you sent me many years ago, such a lovely little dog. XXX from B
  8. maybe try doing a screenshot of your photo and attaching that by clicking the " choose files..." button
  9. the reviews are mixed depending on when they were posted, apparently they had some problems a couple of years back and this Product Review link reflects that: https://www.productreview.com.au/listings/meals-for-mutts More info here: https://www.petfoodreviews.com.au/meals-for-mutts-dog-food-review/
  10. I'm so sorry Phoebe is no longer with you Rebanne, it just breaks your heart. xx from B
  11. I just received this 30% off special from Good Riddance https://goodriddance.com.au/collections/lander?utm_id=01KM2RY1WSGYX01W909RYZATB2&_kx=xpw6MOuzfzrIq7XDT5VfpofFG56AdDm3ierf4PYbXns.WcCJnU
  12. Midgie and mozzie central here, I put on Good Riddance which is excellent and smells nice (but a bit exxy) https://goodriddance.com.au/ they usually have a discount for first time buyers and I found that they also gave me an extra 10% off as I left the item in my cart for a couple of days so it's worth trying that. I also use the Radius repellent from Woolies but it does make you gasp for breath The dogs don't seem to be bothered by the bities so I think it may be the Bravecto that helps. You will find a cut onion rubbed over the bite takes the soreness/itchiness away. have you tried putting zinc cream or calamine lotion on the sheep ears?...worth a try
  13. A dramatic flood rescue took place this afternoon as a passing-by helicopter dropped a police officer on top of a vehicle to help a stranded driver and their dog. NT Emergency Service - Katherine Volunteer Unit https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1Ao3UTCyQj/
