I thought I'd register Penny, so just barged ahead and filled in the form, but, when I filled in the Puppies date of Birth thingo with November 1998 I got this message.... It seems that your dog is not a puppy anymore. This promotion is only available to owners with a puppy Should have known that the word 'Puppy' really meant young in years Nope...Penny is not a puppy anymore! (bad luck Pen, you miss out on some treats!)

Hi becks, I have 3 Westies and use laserlites which is ok but their hair is really soft...do Vetzyme have a non-flea shampoo that leaves their hair feeling like wire? Or is there another shampoo that leaves the coat coarse-feeling (I don't strip the dogs)

I saw this thread and wondered if one of these Thundershirts would help http://www.dolforums.com.au/index.php?showtopic=210098

What a crock Andrew Bolt!

http://www.couriermail.com.au/news/queensl...f-1225960944026 A DRUG-addled habitual Ipswich thief who was shot after stabbing a police dog in a bid to escape arrest 15-months ago has today been jailed for seven years. The Brisbane District Court was told Christine Louise Thomson, 33, was shot after lunging at police officers and then repeatedly stabbing decorated canine unit operative "PD Zac" during a confrontation at a Runcorn house, on Brisbane's southside, on August 20 last year. Thomson, who was the first woman to be shot by Queensland police, today pleaded guilty to 127 charges, including 34 for burglary, 26 of fraud, 21 stealing, two malicious act with intent and one of injuring an animal in the night time. The court was told Thomson's "relentless crime spree'' -- in two short bursts between December 26, 2006, and August 19 last year -- involved her breaking into houses and cars and stealing almost $135,000 in cash and property to help fund her addiction to amphetamines. Prosecutor Phil McCarthy said Thomson even used subterfuge to trick people into vacating their homes or giving her lifts in their car in order to steal from her unsuspecting victims. He said Johnson tricked one 71-year-old man into leaving his home by telling him he needed to go to a nearby shopping centre to clear up a report about his involvement in a minor motor vehicle accident. The court was told when the elderly man bundled himself and his dog into his car and drove off, Thomson burgled his home. Mr McCarthy said Thomson's other "ruses'' included claiming she was hiding from a man who had just raped her when she was caught burgling one home to stealing from a 73-year-old good Samaritan as he gave her a lift during a time of "distress.'' He said on another Thomson, who also used the alias Thompson, even robbed a person who agreed to give her a lift to hospital because her child was sick. The court was told Thomson would steal just about anything she could, including baby clothes, child safety car seats, cast iron chairs, tool boxes, prescription glasses, hotel-motel linen as well as the usual items targeted by thieves such as jewellery and electrical goods. Mr McCarthy said Thomson's campaign of crime came to a crashing end when she rammed a police car in a bid to avoid arrest on August 19 last year. He said Thomson fled, with police in pursuit, and returned to a rental property at Runcorn and armed herself with a knife. Thomson lunged at police as they entered the home and then stabbed PD Zac repeatedly about the shoulder blades as the German shepherd tried to subdue the knife wielding thief. Mr McCarthy said Thomson, who continued to lunge at police after stabbing PD Zac, was then shot once in the stomach. He said both Thomson and PD Zac, who was described as being as important and valuable to the Queensland Police Service as any sworn officer, made full recoveries from their injuries. The court was told PD Zac's recovery was so thorough that the decorated pooch was able to return to active duty five weeks later. Judge Marshall Irwin jailed Thomson for seven years, but recommended she be eligible for parole after serving 28-months. Thomson, who has been in pre-sentence custody for 462 days, will be eligible for parole in less than a year. In April, The Courier-Mail revealed PD Zac became the fifth Queensland police dog to be honoured with the coveted German Shepherd Dog Council of Australia national service award.

How is the quilt coming along SBT303, are you still slaving away on it?

Mac, after burying his bone

I thought I'd find out some more info about Multicrop Slug and Snail killer so I wrote to Milton-Multicrop-Sales- Marketing-Manager asking him for info (and suggested he answer the questions and comments posed on this forum) I received an email from him....here it is... Hi xxxx (me), Thank you for letting me know. Multiguard is much less toxic than any of the Metaldehyde based baits (defender, blitzem etc.) and even more less toxic than Baysol. Multiguard is not a scheduled poison where as the Metaldehyde and Methiocarb based baits are both schedule 5 poisons. Multicrop still recommends some caution when using Multiguard as per the packaging. We recommend that people do not allow access to the packet for animals (dogs and cats) and do not place the pellets in heaps in the garden as if an animal consumes a large quantity it may be toxic. It would be unlikely to have a problem when Multiguard is just sprinkled around the garden as per the directions on the pack. If a person has a dog, I recommend they spread the bait while the dog is not in eye shot so that they don’t think you are throwing out food for them. Multiguard contains a bittering agent( the bitterest taste known to man) to help deter children form eating large quantities. The bittering agent does not always work on dogs as they can guts their food down before they know what it tastes like in some cases. I understand the website do not want companies promoting their products through the site so I will just send this info to you. Best Regards Milton Dyer Commercial Sales Marketing Manager Multicrop (Aust.) Pty. Ltd. Me again, so yes, it can cause problems if dogs guts the stuff, so obviously, be careful, though it is not as bad as some of the other killer-slug-baits

Have a container or plastic bag in the freezer compartment of your fridge and pop in all the cheese, chokkie, fast food wrappers, bones or whatever they can get their pokey noses into, then just chuck it out with the garbage on council garbage day. Voice of experience here after coming home to much the same disaster as dobesrock

This stuff is good, won't harm dogs, cats, fauna, birds, earthworms (or children). It is also GOOD for the garden as it contains Iron Chelate Milticrop Multiguard Slug and Snail Killer

If it is the Jerusalem artichoke that you need give me a shout and I will send you a heap...some your dog can eat and some you can plant for eating next year. They will be gratis...just pay the postage cost.

I give my three (Westies) a chicken wing after their dog mince/vege slops each night. I cut the fat off from the trailing edge and shoulder-part. I usually buy them frozen, they come in a blue coloured bag and are small wings. I also give the little guys a chicken frame, with the tail and fat cut off, about once a week...they love them, they think they have made a major kill!

I am sorry that your heart is broken Moselle....it's the pits.

Yes, I know... it is a seal...not a dog. I hope they give these sentences for cruelty to dogs as well. The knobs won't do it again in a hurry, especially now their names are published! http://www.couriermail.com.au/news/breakin...f-1225952738727 A 20-year-old man has become the first person to be jailed in New Zealand for an attack on a leopard seal, described by a judge as an "inhumane" act. Harley David McKenzie was sentenced to four months' jail after appearing before Judge Kevin Phillips in the Invercargill District Court today, on a charge of taking a leopard seal and injuring it. McKenzie was caught out by the Department of Conservation (DoC) after photos were put on Facebook of him and two friends attacking a protected leopard seal in October last year, the Southland Times reported. Judge Phillips said it was a barbaric, inhumane act. "The seal was clearly distressed and at one stage it lost consciousness ... it is atrocious behaviour," he said. The three men saw the seal as they were driving past Te Waewae Bay, on the coast of Southland, and after stopping, began filming themselves throwing rocks at it before dragging it down a beach. McKenzie's friends Michael William Matthews, 23, and Phillip Ray Horrell, 24, were fined $NZ5000 ($3,910) and $NZ7000 ($5,474) on the same charge when sentenced last month. The maximum penalty for the charge under the Marine Mammals Protection Act 1978 is six months in jail or a $NZ250,000 ($195,519) fine.

Jed, where are the Cav's now? I have a feeling they are in the Kingaroy area? If you need someone to pick them up and take them to Brisbane to hook-up with someone for their temporary home, we can perhaps do that. We are on Russell Island but have a car on the mainland and have a couple of crates.

Woo Hoo, now he is in custody! (for today anyhow) http://www.couriermail.com.au/news/breakin...f-1225948206593 A 33-year-old man is in custody after failing to appear in court over charges related to the theft of a prize-winning chihuahua from the Royal Adelaide Show. Harry, valued at about $5000, went missing from his cage at the Adelaide show in September, but was found safe and well about three weeks later. Khuong Dinh Tran was charged with dishonestly receiving the dog, but failed to show at the Holden Hill Magistrates Court yesterday. A magistrate issued a warrant for his arrest and police today said a man from suburban Northfield was arrested overnight. He was refused bail and was expected to appear in court today. Harry went missing from the show while his owner Kylie Sunman was just metres away. At the time, show spokeswoman Michelle Hocking said it appeared the person responsible knew what he was after, with Harry winning a prize in his category.
