well you are lucky MavericksMission, it smells much the same as when a gecko has been squashed in the sliding window and sort-of mummified and you open the window a week later...that sort of smell

My two dog beds arrived today, they are ok BUT I think there is a dead rat/lizard/mouse in the crate that holds all the petbeds...they smell a bit off, perhaps that is why they are a good price! Never mind, I've hung them on the line to air (though the dogs didn't mind the smell )

Thanks for that..I have been on-line searching and found this site which is cheaper than your linkie Sheridan http://www.ranchmans.com.au/Cowboy_Magic_D...l_p/cbm3600.htm shipping is $10 (I think they could do better than that!) The vet shed has it at $24.65 + $6.50 postage Peperone Pet Supplies sell 'The Stuff' Sheridan,but it has silicone it in, which works ok but I don't like the feel of it http://www.peperonepetsupplies.com/contents/en-us/d18.html I reckon I will buy some Cowboy Magic, if it repels dirt it may make Mac's pee run off his skirt instead of staying there stinkin' (sometimes a 'no sense of smell' can be a bonus) 'The Stuff' is used on horses as well and when I was doing a search I came across a person who uses Mr Sheen on her horses tail

Does anyone know where I can buy this product on-line and doesn't cost a fortune. It's an ok product and has a delicate perfume (some others I have used work ok, but the perfume stinks up the house) or...perhaps a suggestion on another product that has a mild perfume, I had checked some out in a B&M shop and many smelt like cats pi$$

O good...perhaps that means I could get more Westies, though my little guys prefer killin' rats

If you live in a country area sometimes it is a good idea to use a live-catch cage/trap as you can check if you have caught a house-mouse rather than a little native mouse Brown Antechinus ----> http://australianmuseum.net.au/Brown-Antechinus/ and these cuties ---> http://www.oceanwideimages.com/categories.asp?cID=448 Dirty Stinkin' House Mouse ---> http://australianmuseum.net.au/House-Mouse and---> http://www.ozanimals.com/Mammal/House-Mous...s/musculus.html

Hi sheridan, perhaps try these three Hill BD suppliers, they may have some in stock http://www.vetnpetdirect.com.au/HPDCB-D#HP...nine+b+d+7+98kg http://www.thevetshed.com.au/product_info....nine+B+D+7+98kg http://www.aussiepet.com.au/hills-prescrip...Diet+Canine+b+d I have bought stuff from the first two suppliers and they are pretty good to deal with but I have not bought anything from Aussie pet It's expensive compared with home-made barf isn't it, but if it does the job it is well worth it I reckon. I'm glad your little Mac is doing ok Westiemum, I hate it when they get older, it means we will have less time to spend with them...bit of a bugger really.

Here ya go...a humane cage for sale on quicksales (used to be oztion) http://www.quicksales.com.au/buy/auction.a...itemid=11552446 once you have caught the little bugger you can let it go waaaaaaaaay up the road in some long grass so it can have somewhere to hide

From correspondents in Boston: A WOMAN who thought her beloved dachshund was gone forever after a fire destroyed her apartment a month ago has found the pet living in the wreckage of her burned-out home. Terisa Acevedo moved in with relatives after the February 23 fire. She returned to the apartment on Tuesday after her landlord asked her to turn off the alarm on a vehicle in the driveway. The 24-year-old Acevedo heard scratching, pulled away the plywood covering the doorway and found the year-old pup, Lola. She says Lola jumped into her arms and set off a flood of tears. She says the dog was a little skinnier than she remembered. Veterinarians say the dog somehow found food and water in the home and is expected to fully recover.= http://www.couriermail.com.au/news/breakin...f-1226027119313

I ordered two this morning-the postage was good-only $5.99. Thanks very much for the link :-)

Penny, Mac and Daisy all have a raw chicken wing each after they have their tea in the evening...no problems in the poo department at all (though if Penny eats hers too fast she will huck it up then eat it again )

it seems that "Odelia Levitt, a counsellor and former art dealer" tells fibs as well

perhaps it is dingos/wild dogs... they are around Chevallum (see page 40 of this DPI report) http://www.dpi.qld.gov.au/documents/Biosec...og-Report-4.pdf

You could pop to your local pottery group and see if one of the better potters could make you a coil bowl (much more sturdy than one thrown on the wheel)). Us-potter-type-people no longer use lead/heavy metal based glazes (though they are still available) and at least you will know you have a food-safe bowl. ask the costs of making one while you are there, as some potters think their work is worth heaps more than it should be :-D

These people are pretty good and they give the stuff directly to the unfortunate people http://www.givit.org.au/

I googled for pictures, they look like big Westiexpoodlexairedale....I love 'em http://www.google.com.au/images?client=ope...mp;ved=0CEQQsAQ

I thought I'd post this in this forum rather than the 'News' as more people read this forum http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2011/03...ion=justinRSPCA warning after dogs die eating camel meat By Gail Liston A study has found dogs can die after eating human-grade camel meat. (AAP: Paul Miller) A new study has found pet dogs have died after eating human-grade camel meat. A report in this month's Australian Veterinary Journal cites several cases of severe and sometimes fatal liver disease in dogs that had eaten camel meat containing the acid indospicine. Veterinary pathologist Dr Louise FitzGerald says it is a toxic amino acid found in plants in Australia's arid regions. She says camels like eating the plants, so there is always potential for the meat to contain the toxin. "What happens is that camels graze this plant, then the toxins from this plant accumulates in their system and then the toxin is then passed on to dogs when the dogs eat their meat," she said. "We know that dogs are particularly sensitive to this toxin." The RSPCA is warning pet owners to avoid feeding their dogs camel meat. The association's Dr Jade Norris says the pet food industry needs to be better regulated. "Until the pet food industry and the pet meat manufacturers can guarantee that they are aware of this toxin and that they're taking adequate steps to safeguard their products, then we'd be saying that as an absolute guarantee avoid feeding camel meat until industry can reassure everyone that these safeguards are in place." A spokeswoman for Food Standards Australia, Lorraine Bellinger, says the authority is investigating the implications for human consumption of camel meat. "Although there have been no reported cases of illness in people, we are reviewing studies to see if humans can also be affected by this toxin," she said. "It's important to point out that dogs, as with other animals, can react really differently to foods than humans will. "For example, the case that most people would recognise is chocolate, which can be extremely toxic for dogs." Tags: human-interest, animals, australia, nt, alice-springs-0870, darwin-0800
