  1. This was shared in the AUSTRALIAN Caravanning/Camping Travelling With Dogs FB page so I though it may be a plan to post here Link to Allbullz
  2. just get rid of it, it kills heaps of good insects, use mozzie repellent and fly traps instead. This is copied from Google--> Traditional bug zappers will kill a large number of harmless insects. In fact, they may even kill a larger number of beneficial insects than harmful ones. Mosquitoes in particular are attracted to carbon dioxide (in your breath) and water vapour (in your sweat) rather than ultraviolet light from zappers
  3. Does Jeune like warm scrambled eggs LMO? perhaps even garnished with a little grated cheese
  4. Can you lightly squeeze a bulb? if you can what about using a battery hydrometer tester, Supercheap should have them hydrometer I think brew shops may also have similar
  5. what about a baster? --->basters or push a piece of silicone aquarium hose (silicone is really soft) on to a hand-cream pumper bottle here or maybe an icing dispenser icing sets or a tomato sauce plastic bottle here

  7. Philadelphia Inquirer link here (there is a video) Former Philly cop had the only new breed — and wore the only hijab — at this year’s National Dog Show | We The People by Stephanie Farr, Updated: November 20, 2019 MONICA HERNDON / STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER Meet Aliya Taylor, a former Philadelphia police officer who is a breeder, owner, and handler of Azawakh dogs. • Azawakh attitude: Before Taylor got her first Azawakh, people told her: “‘Don’t get those dogs, they’re crazy. They don’t like anyone. They’re very aloof. They’re very skittish,’" she said. “And I was like, ‘Well, that’s perfect. Sounds like me.’" • Liver best: In the ring, Taylor uses chicken liver to reward her pups. “It stinks up my house, but all the dogs love it," she said. When Aliya Taylor first walked into a dog show ring wearing a hijab, people mistook it for a costume. “They thought I was dressing up like this to showcase my breed,” she said. “No. This is me. This is a Tuesday.” Taylor, 47, a former Philly cop, is one of few Muslims in the dog show world. While the American Kennel Club does not keep stats, Taylor said she hasn’t encountered another Muslim woman in a hijab at a dog show in the Northeast. But she’d like to inspire more to enter the ring. On Nov. 16 and 17, Taylor, of Overbrook, introduced the only new breed at the Kennel Club of Philadelphia’s National Dog Show this year, the Azawakh, a rare dog from West Africa. Since the show is recorded and airs nationally on NBC on Thanksgiving Day, results are kept under wraps until the broadcast. But prior to the event, Taylor said she hoped to get a chance to introduce the Azawakh to a wider audience. MONICA HERNDON / STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER Aliya Taylor plays with Bahir, one of five of her Azawakh dogs she entered in the Kennel Club of Philadelphia's National Dog Show. “It would be a dream come true to have my dogs be in the hound group and be represented,” she said. “It would be the culmination of 10 years of blood, sweat, and tears.” Taylor grew up in Overbrook and often brought home injured animals as a child. “I could always relate to them,” she said. “Animals always seemed to be friendly and I could always sit down and talk to them.” Taylor’s mother bred and exhibited boxers. When Taylor was a child, her parents got her a miniature schnauzer that she exhibited at practice shows. But then, life happened and the dog shows stopped. Taylor moved to South Carolina, where she worked as a prison guard. When she came back to Philly, Taylor joined the Philadelphia Police Academy at the age of 27. She was among the oldest recruits in her class. Throughout her 19-year career, Taylor worked patrol in South Philly. The most difficult calls for her were domestic disturbances cases, particularly those involving Muslim women. “I had a unique perspective because I am Muslim, so I would try to advise them the best way to get out of an abusive situation,” she said. LAUREN SCHNEIDERMAN Aliya Taylor, is a breeder, owner, and handler of Azawakh dogs. She owns six Azawakhs and one Saluki. Around 2006, Taylor got back into the dog show world with a standard poodle and wore her hijab while showing the dog, which got her “quite a few looks." “I said, ‘I’m going to be myself and this is how I am. You can either take it or leave it,’ " she said. “And people loved it.” But what did her law enforcement colleagues think about her pup passion? “They thought I was nuts, but I didn’t care," she said. Eventually, Taylor got her first Azawakh, a dog she’d always found beautiful. She now owns six Azawakhs and one saluki, a breed of hunting hound. Azawakhs are native to Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso, and though ancient, they are rare. Only about 300 are estimated to be in the United States and about 1,600 are estimated worldwide outside of their countries of origin, where records are not kept, according to the American Azawakh Association. MONICA HERNDON / STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER Aliya Taylor shows off Bahir, an Azawakh, as National Dog Show spokesman Steve Griffith speaks during a press event at the Tru Hotel by Hilton in Audobon for the Kennel Club of Philadelphia's National Dog Show. The only dogs taller than they are long, Azawakh frames are so lanky, their skeletons are clearly visible underneath their skin. With strangers, these dogs can be distant, but they’re fiercely loyal to their owners. Though they’ve appeared in dog shows before, Azawakh were relegated to the miscellaneous category, a catch-all for breeds not qualified in one of the seven major groups, Taylor said. This year, the American Kennel Club sanctioned the Azawakh, a sighthound, to participate in the hound group for the first time. Taylor entered five of her Azawakh in the National Dog Show and because nobody else entered any, she’s guaranteed to win best in breed. She thinks her male named Bahir (a.k.a. “Stinky Butt,” a.k.a. “Boo Boo”) has the best chance. MONICA HERNDON / STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER Bahir, an Azawakh, gets a treat from Aliya Taylor. In the ring, Taylor uses chicken liver to reward her dogs. In 2018, Taylor, a mother of three, left policing after suffering a herniated disc, and then, a stroke. She now devotes herself to breeding and showing dogs. She also makes custom collars under the name Mother of Hounds. Taylor hopes more Muslims will consider becoming dog owners. While she said there’s a belief by some Muslims that dogs are unclean, she and many other Muslims disagree. “They have helped us live, they have helped us hunt, and they have been our companions for millennia,” she said. “I could never imagine anything so devoted to a human being as being unclean.”
  8. I had to post this, what a little trooper; going as fast as those little legs will go
  9. 'Olly' found on train track after bolting from Western Fwy smash 20 November 2019 A dog that bolted from a car accident on the Western Freeway at Wallace has found safe and well this morning – but her owner remains in hospital. After a cold and hungry night on the run ‘Olly’ turned up at the Bungaree General Store, but friends of the Lara owner – who volunteers at the Ballarat Tramway Museum – had to chase the Maltese-Jack Russell cross for about 2km, picking her up along the Ballarat train line. The owner’s friends desperately searched for the little dog until dark last night, after a car accident around 5pm. Friend Gail said she believed exploding airbags caused the dog to bolt. Olly had been microchipped but had recently chewed off her collar. “The owner is just a mess - an absolute mess - and missing the dog terribly,” she said earlier today. “Even though Olly’s been gone for a short time, we’re just begging that someone can pick her up or just find her for us.” Neville gave the station a call shortly after the story went to air, saying a staffmember at the Bungaree store was a tramways volunteer and recognised the dog straight away. “She looks uninjured, but she’s probably had a cold night,” Neville said. “She was initially quite disressed but she’s now looking relaxed.” Neville and other friends at the museum will look after Olly until her owner is home.Source: https://www.powerfmballarat.com.au/news/local-news/93535-olly-found-on-train-track-after-bolting-from-western-fwy-smash?fbclid=IwAR0PY1SIXPU2EL9WfPW9AlA6ppVETZFrA6iCGGjfQSBZd1mAqNpLk8G6cmILocal News© Power FM Ballarat

  20. Zara peed in a dish and the wee was poured into a small test tube, her vet spun it down then we saw the tiny crystal sediment in the bottom of the test tube. She also x-rayed Zara to see if there was any signs of kidney stones (no sign of stones) Whereabouts are you and your mother in Qld? if nearby I could drop off somewhere some Royal Canine S/O to try or you can just buy it here as they have free shipping and are excellent to deal with https://www.vetsupply.com.au/dog-food/royal-canin-urinary-so-dog-food-andnbsp/pet-foods-pack-1168-5357.aspx
  21. Hi @Stitch Zara had Struvite crystals, I had posted about diet below so you may find it of help. last year Zara, developed a UTI and was found to have tiny struvite crystals in her urine, she also had a bacterial infection. AB's and Urimav were prescribed, UTI cleared, pH showed around 6.25-6.5, it was advised that she stay on the Urimav. I normally feed raw meat and vegie slops but do add a small amount of kibble to make sure she is getting a more varied intake of vitamins and minerals, on reading some articles on-line. I had phoned Vets all Natural and the chappy on the phone read out the pertinent points in one of Bruce Syme's articles on bladder stones; vitamin C and cranberry extract was suggested so I have ordered Vets All Natural Complete Mix Adult/Senior and Vets All Natural Health Booster. On talking to Zara's vet it was recommended that she has no red meat, including pork, and NO FISH. After a few months she was gradually weaned off the Urimav and her meals were the Urinary S/O, chicken and the VAN museli-mix stuff, her skin was turning black and she had some hair loss and looked a mess so I took her off the Urinary S/O but that may not have been the problem as she was also on the Niralone ( Composition. Prednisolone 5mg, Chlorpheniramine maleate 2mg. Indications. Allergic dermatitis, asthma, bronchitis, urticaria and anaphylaxis) so my vet took her off those and she is now on Apoquel and over the last few months it has been decreased to 1/4 tab every 3 days though her skin is still black. I think she had two problems initially; a mild skin issue as well as the UTI/Struvite and the Niralone has caused the blackening skin issue and this may not go away even though her hair has grown back and she's looking well. Her Struvites have not returned. Soooo, the upshot is that your mother's dog will always have the propensity to develop crystals and, according to Zara's vet, it can be managed by diet, it must be low magnesium so Barf is out; even the Barf chicken has red meat in it last time I checked. It's unfortunate that the urinary food ingredients from Hills and Royal Canine are so crappy but there is no alternative except for a chicken VAN diet to keep the magnesium intake low
