  1. When I first got Saffy she was keen on chook-killin', unfortunately for her I had a Pekin bantam with chicks who got stuck into her, chased her up the steps and grabbed her bum, Saffy got such a fright that she lost her footing and fell 1/2 metre through the steps onto the plants below. She ignored the chooks after that. Bantam mum gathered up her chickens and continued looking for bugs. So, have a stroppy hen and chicks as a deterrent
  2. Try giving your dog 1/2 charcoal tablet (1/2 for small dogs and a whole for big dogs) twice a day and see if that helps, at least there will be no harm by giving the tablets. Slippery elm (I use capsules) is also good; it lines the gut wall and allows it to settle down and repair itself. I use both of these remedies when the dogs have upset tums and it does help

  4. I bought a children's slide at a garage sale, we removed the ladder-part, covered it with carpet and screwed on pieces of square dowel as foot-grippers, We rolled and stuck that no-slip mat around the stand-thing at the bottom, it works a treat. Ok, so I carried it out to the veranda and took some photos to show what I mean

  13. https://www.adn.com/outdoors-adventure/iditarod/2018/03/08/this-sled-dog-is-a-weirdo-plus-4-other-huskies-running-the-iditarod/ Iditarod This sled dog is a ‘weirdo,’ plus 4 other huskies running Iditarod TAKOTNA — Hundreds of sled dogs are racing across Alaska right now in the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race. Sometimes, they're traveling through deep snow. Sometimes they're running through open water. And sometimes, they're at checkpoints, just curled up on straw, sleeping. Meet five of the sled dogs that took a break Wednesday in the village of Takotna, at Mile 329 of the 1,000-mile trail. 1. DRIVER Driver is the first dog to get excited about leaving a checkpoint, said musher Aliy Zirkle of Two Rivers. Sure, maybe he's not the sharpest dog on the trail. But he's amiable and he just loves to run. "He is dumb as a box of rocks," Zirkle said, cupping her hands over Driver's ears in an effort to prevent him from hearing the insult. "But he loves being a sled dog. He like loves doing what he does. He's the understated team player." Driver, a dog in Aliy Zirkle’s team. (Loren Holmes / ADN) This is 5-year-old Driver's third Iditarod. Zirkle said he first raced with her husband, Allen Moore, who runs the kennel's "JV team" in the Iditarod. Zirkle promoted Driver to the varsity team. "He just wants to go," she said. "I don't know what's in him that makes him do that. I don't know. He's not trained to do that. He just likes to run." 2. GEL Gel, one of Kelly Maixner’s dogs. (Loren Holmes / ADN) Gel sort of has a split personality. One second, she wants love. The next minute she's growling and showing her teeth, leading you to think she could "bite your face off" if she wanted to, said musher Kelly Maixner of Big Lake. [Mushers say the Iditarod can be saved. Here's how] "That's the funny thing about her," he said. "You go up there and she starts licking your face, but then she'll growl at you two seconds later. She's very growly, but she'd never bite. It's just her personality." Maixner said 4-year-old Gel is an upbeat leader and always "ready to go." She's just, well, a bit complicated. "She's a weirdo," he said. "She's crazy." This is Gel's second Iditarod. 3. RANGER Ranger, an 8-year-old dog in Jessie Royer’s team. (Loren Holmes / ADN) At 8 years old, Ranger is fearless, said Iditarod musher Jessie Royer, who splits her time between Fairbanks and Montana. "He's one of my main, number one lead dogs that will go through anything. No matter what kind of crap weather — wind, whiteouts, drifts — whatever we run into on the coast, he goes," she said. "He's just an amazing dog." Ranger has already run the Iditarod several times. If he's anything like his mom, he has a few more races in him. Ranger's mother, Kuling, finished her last Iditarod at age 12, Royer said. 4. BROWN Brown, one of Charley Bejna’s lead dogs. (Loren Holmes / ADN) Brown the sled dog is actually black and white. "She's from a 'bear' litter," said musher Charley Bejna. "So I had four dogs — Black, Brown, Grizzly and Kodiak." Brown, age 5, is Bejna's first pick for a lead dog. She's smart, quiet, hardworking and "a real sweetheart," he said. "In all my races, she's my go-to," he said. "She's going to make the decisions pretty much for all of us. If she's tired, I know everybody else is — because she's definitely a go-getter." [Her last great race? Why Iditarod icon DeeDee Jonrowe is going home] Brown has run three or four Iditarods, said Bejna, who splits his time between Illinois and Knik. He didn't always know Brown was meant to lead the team. "When she was first born, I thought she was way too small and I just kind of put her on hold for about a month because, I said, 'She's so small, what is she going to be able to do?'" he said. "And then I said, 'Well, let me try her.' And now she's my main lead dog." As a leader, he said, Brown can get picky about who she runs next to at the front of the pack. She likes to stand next to her sister or four other dogs on the team. Bejna said he knows when he has hooked up the wrong dog next to Brown because she transforms from dog to statue — she sits down and will not move. "She's real anal about who she runs with," he said. "I think that's what makes her so special." 5. MASK Mask, a dog in Ray Redington Jr.’s team. (Loren Holmes / ADN) Mask is 5 years old and on her third or fourth Iditarod, said Wasilla musher Ray Redington Jr. She is an explorer by nature. "She likes to go. She likes the adventure," Redington said. "She just likes the adrenaline and likes the country." About this Author Tegan Hanlon Tegan Hanlon covers education and general assignments.

  14. I had a look at the Crufts info this morning and thought it'd be an idea to pop in a topic that can be updated with piccies and news. Here are some rainy day photos from the Birmingham Mail I do like Bailey the Bearded Collie https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/midlands-news/gallery/best-pictures-crufts-day-1-14384456 I'm looking forward to Friday's terriers
  15. if you sign up for the newsletter first you may very well get a discount on your first order so sign up first and wait for the confirmation email. or, if you Google '>Australian natural care join up voucher' there is a site called thebargainavenue.com.au which has promo codes
  16. I emailed the clearance link to my friend that has two mini horses Woofn , she looked but no coats for minis unfortunately, only for dogs and normal-type horses
  17. we would very much like updates on your puppy PL, the DOLers here take an interest in new posters' and the problems with their dogs' as the outcome can be of value to other owners who have similar symptoms with their dog in the future. Please keep us updated as we do care about your little one
  18. I don't think anyone here would come right out and say that it is a reaction to a vaccination as we can't 'see' what is happening and even then, who can say that the vaccination is the problem, though some puppies do get crook after vaccinations. Your vet is the one to track down the problem. Please keep up updated on what your vet says as well as the blood test results as it may be helpful in pups with similar symptoms. Hopefully you will have a good outcome tomorrow
  19. I find it easiest to take a screen-shot of the photo I want, save it on my desktop, then click 'choose files...' and it'll then appear in your post if you click the little + on the left hand bottom of your uploaded photo Regarding your getting another dog...go for it! It will benefit everyone :-D
  20. Did you take your little one back to the vets PL? Her problems have gone on too long, please consider taking her to another vet, a little puppy needs emergency care. I feel that your vet just suggesting euthanasia and having to wait for blood tests is not good enough. Please take her to another vet today, perhaps the vet that your breeder uses. I see that you are in NSW, perhaps you could let us know what area and someone here can recommend an excellent vet
  21. maybe follow some of the links in this T https://www.sydneycriminallawyers.com.au/blog/save-izzy-a-familys-quest-to-save-their-dogs-life/ I know that there was a Doler here that was (or is) a lawyer but can't remember their name :-/
