My fantasy dog was a dal... Bowl I own 2. Regret neither and Sophie was a dol retread, by woodbyne.

We were supposed to foster and move on bit she did not work in her home and we missed her so much... Me much more than I though.. so she came home.

My Dal is the complete oposite.

Today for instance Georgia didn't get out of bed except for a toilet break. :laugh:

And this is about as much as we've seen of her lately.

I know she's under there somewhere.

That's how I look on Sundays too. :laugh:

Mmmmm well Leo an Sophie are camped on the couch..... Have been since they barged past me on the way to the loo at 7.30. I worked really late last bit so let them on the couch as they knew I was inside.... Whimpering at the door was getting old.

They are happy to run or not as the case maybe. This week end I worked Friday 9am -9.30 pm sat 9am - 9.30pm.

They will go out with me and the cart horses, but that was about 6 weeks ago.

We also have jrts and so far no ones died! They disagree but never majorly and mainly over dinner.... So they all eat seperately.

Snowy mountains to coonabran and retirnmight be a tad off our route!

Where from and too?

We are driving most of state and back 28th. We live about as far south as you can go without crashing the boarder...

Do some googling.

Now I'm prepared to get shot down, but our dogs haven been long lived one lived to nearly 18 and when I was really poor she ate home brand kibble so I could afford to keep her and me fed!

We live on acerage and we seem t have dogs live to the top end. ATM a chi who's 15 and we thought he was finished 3 times bit each time he just had a rest and got up as if never happened.

Ours love all kinds of food and there is nothing mentioned that they don't like.

The only thing not mentioned which will wake Leo from a sleep so tic tacs! I kid yo not.

I think some of us over think things too much...

I made a flippant comment on here and ended up with an extra dog.... I had a jrt chi and a dal and partner had jrt and foxie cross. Sophie another dal made 6. So long as your prepared to work with what ever dog you choose it should work out.

Facebook s full of easily offended people, sometimes it wouldn't matter if your the Dali lama or mother Theresa they will hate you and take offence.

Just e delete block and feel sad they won't have enough to help with their rescue cause.

My ,dog a large dal Leo like tic tacs... And he eats small bits of blue metal.

If we catch him he will drop on command, I'm sure he eats a few tho.

I have first day cover from 2010 when they did the Adopted adored series there was a westie variation on that one had a giggle when I saw where the post mark was from "Tailem Bend" SA. And yes despite the name it is a real town :laugh:

Yeap tis a real town, i has bin there! 22,000 km in 10 weeks some towns are bit blurry

We often get fresh meat, as in rabbits shot or the odd roo, Sophie will starve.... She will not eat it, she eats the fur after it goes manky, but fresh, nup.

They get working dog kibble, I run out and had to buy supermarket kibble.... Leo huge amounts of weight and was starving... Really hungry.

I will never buy it, again.

It does depend, as some dogs are just attached to one or other of their humans.

The spots are more my dogs and 2 of the smaller dogs are really my partners dogs. They are his shadows. Leo and Sophie are more my dogs and shadows, but that doesn't mean my partner does like either of em.

Link to ingredients. It does talk of whole grain... Which might

Be better than processed as in flour.

Leo gets yeasty ears

We feed dog pro we have now changed to dog pro working dog plus. Has eggs and higher protein.

Dog seems fine. No preservatives often sold in produce stores in a 20kg bag 2 bags were $70. Lasts us over a month... With 6 dogs. Little jrts get 1/2 cup biggest Leo gets 2 cups, he's 70cm at the shoulders.

My friend put me on dog pro as she used to have skin issues with re huskies on Stupidmarket food. They also make 4x2 biscuits which are about a3 size and help slow down fast eaters.

Well sometimes I do but mostly dogs accost me... I have a large group of my own, I must smell to other dogs....

They approach, me.

Bimblegumbie 15 min from theradbo is pet friendly.

Try to of the range at jindabyne. Dog friendly. There are a few

:laugh: Mine all fit on the couch... unless there's a person sitting on it In which case, whichever dog is left off the couch wanders around aimlessly, stopping to stare at the offending person occasionally with super sad-eyes. Do we honestly expect them to sit on the floor? What kind of awful hell do we think they can tolerate?!?!?!

And Sophie the rescue hated being Inside in the beginning! Now her butt is on the couch more than all of the others combined.

Very short chain low down stops pawing in the ute.

Dals! They can't get too excioted over anything other than dinner.

My 2 get so rough skin flyes, and hair at times but its all play. They might as well be the cartoon character goofy.... Not smart but boy for the right food reward Leo will beg to be bathed and hair dried.... Most of time he sleeps on the couch with the other dal Sophie, who thinks if they leave the couch it will leave and run off into the distance without them.

Although they have been told the couch will never leave! :laugh:

Oh good! Im not alone!

Cleo is just insanely food motivated, it actually bugs me, because I can't train her from about 4.30pm until she's fed. She runs to her "spot" whenever she sees me, waiting for food and from about 5.30 she'll whine until fed. I don't like having a whiney dog!! It's like she doesn't realise that food is indeed coming, i haven't starved her yet! And it's not like we have a set time either, any time between 4.30 and 8pm is dinner time, whenever we get to it.

Tonight just proved her hungry dog silliness to me. I'm working on teaching "roll over", taught the basics in a training session during the day when she's sensible but then work on it more at dinner time before she's fed.

First of all, she sits on her station (her bed) until called off, then sit, drop, roll. She does it well, and gets one kibble as a reward. without prompting, she returns to the bed (because she has to be on the bed before dinner is given) even though I want to try her roll over again.

We do the come, sit, drop, roll and does a really good roll without much direction/hand cueing (using a kibble to direct her movements) so I jackpot and give her about 10 kibble peices.

She totally ignores the small collection of kibble and runs back to the bed because she knows that on the bench is her bowl and she wants it.

I know that trying to train her at dinner time obviously doesn't work for her, and I know how to work around it. Im now just resigned to the fact that I have a crazy dog between 4pm and dinner time.

Well it's dal thing, we have that exact thing except for one little detail Leo does loop the loop on the way to the mat first one circle left then one right then one left and one right.... Oh and cat leaps too. And Sophie just droools and drooooooools and drooooooooooools ( notice more ooooo as the drool gets very large) the more she waits.

I bought me an iPad at a hugely discounted price, and got an extra 10% off due to it being the staff sale day.

Presents were a bit thin in the ground as well.

National Parks in different states have different rules so it is worth checking before you go. In NSW dogs are not allowed to enter the boundary of any National Park but in Vic they are allowed on all major roads through the NPs that are owned by the state government and in all carparks.

Dog are allowed to travel thru parks in nsw. We have to if you want to travel to albury and across to tumut. It's a public road and what's in your car really isn't the parks business. Same as live stock travel thru national parks.

Some thing to know, most national parks well in central au, see quite a few dogs locked in vans and motor homes, legally they cannot do much about it if your dog never leaves the car...

We let dogs travel last trip in the cargo barrier area of the patrol.. Being the car has ac, every one was fine. We tend to take one large crate or a second small one for the terriiosts. So the big dals have the large one.

Although last summer we did happen to be in Geelong the only day it was 43! We packed up and just kept driving, it was to hot for me to even want to stop and get out.

Take frontline plus in case of mange, which wombats and wild dogs carry. In country areas it will set you back in our case $50.00 per pack for the medium dog one. Online it's $60 for 6.
