I had little two kegs on legs stay with me awhile back. They were a good couple of kilos overweight. I fed them lean roo meat and mashed pumpkin at the ratio of 2% of their ideal body weight. Their ideal weight was around 7kgs, so they got approx 100-120g of roo/pumpkin and a chicken neck a day. Within three weeks, without too much exercise as I was sick and couldn't walk 4 dogs, they'd lost probably 2kgs each.

Bwhahahah! I have the same problem, although I've trained my dogs to stay out of the kitchen. They like to lie in door ways and stand up when I step over them, so now I just give them the command 'move' and nudge them gently in the ribs to get them out my way.

OMG my sides hurt from laughing. We have a ninja dog too. He creeps up behind you just as you are about to step backwards...KERSPLAT! *big slobbery kisses* ARGH!! GITITOFFME! *very pleased looking dog* DA-we also have an omnipresent dog, does the same thing, disappears in one direction only to come up behind you.

Wow! He's awesome! Love the wagging tail.

My partner works fulltime, with 3 hours driving there and back a day. I work part time 25+ hours a week over 4-5 days. We have 2 dogs, plus a multitude of other pets.

We have a dog door and it never really occurred to me someone could/would break into the house by going through it...until the day we locked the house and car keys inside and I had to squeeze through the dog door to retrieve the keys

Practicing with my macro...Baby Fish. The fish was about 8mm long.

Enjoy!! [you may want to turn the sound down, as the music is very loud]

When I can be bothered I chuck dog poo in my compost pile. Worms LOVE it! But generally I let it decompose in the gardens [we have a very large backyard]

From my OH: For a .com.au website you need to have ABN but not for .com. Pricewise, .com site are cheaper that .com.au. [.com is approx $16/year sold on a yearly basis compared to .com.au which is approx $45 for two years] Best place to get the domain is http://www.netregistry.com.au/index.php and go for a business hosting package, which includes the domain and the hosting. The business hosting package, should include a mysql database and php which will allow you to have galleries and the like on the website.

I have a few which I whipped up quickly. Original: After Photoshopping: Original: After Photoshopping and Cropping:

Here's a few droplet shots taken with the 60mm. No where near as good as iltby's as I am still learning to use the lens and the lighting was shoddy. I ducked out and took a few while the sun was out and it wasn't raining [all of about 5 minutes!]. These two I Photoshopped quite a bit, playing with the colours, selective brightness and selective saturation

I'll ask OH when he gets home, he should be able to give you an answer. He knows quite a bit about domains and hosting, etc

I love my 60mm, but couldn't tell you the quality difference or variations between the 60mm and the 100mm as I am still only learning to use my macro and never used the 100mm. Might take some shots with it today of similar subjects to iltby, and post them up.

I think going without a photo on a photography business card is a good idea. You can always put a web address to a gallery of example images on it. I think a FB page might be suitable for short term use. I have a FB page for my photography, and a website in construction. It's not very expensive to register a domain, and if I can convince OH, you might be able to host it on our server. :D

do you really think i'd be able to resist showing off the beautiful dogs of the SA police force [which one day I hope to be a handler of one] to a bunch of crazy dog people? :rolleyes:

I have a friend who is good friends with some of the dog squad members. Not sure what I'm doing yet exactly, probably a bit of both close up and action shots. Will do!

I have an opportunity to photograph the SA Police Dog Squad soon, and would like some advice on what lenses to use. I currently have a 550D with the following lenses: Canon 50mm 1.4 Canon 60mm macro Tamron 18-250mm Which would be the best to use? What other one's do people recommend? I have a little cash still to splash on another lens if need be.

Amazing!! I especially love the 3rd, 4th and 5th ones.

thanks wazzat, I hope there will be more.

Well I assume it was because shortly after the photo was taken my OH devoured it like a starved animal.

Thanks guys. I got a message from the lady who owns the Chocolate No. 5 shop congratulating me and thanking me.

I generally wash mine in the bath with a shower attachment. I know a friend with GSDs washes hers in the shower! I did use the local DIY hydro bath the other night because Peggie was smelling horrible and I discovered a few gag worthy dags.
