Not exactly sure how a kennel is a better bed than a well set up crate - which is all it seems OP is talking about. As a long term containment method yes a kennel and secure run is better than a crate. Our dogs have runs with kennels where they are during the day when there's no one home or when they need to be separated. At night, they're crated on the patio (or loose inside). They can't be crated inside the house because there's not enough room. Makes no sense to me to set up little kennels up on the deck for night time use when they have perfectly good kennels and runs out in the garden. They can't stay in the outside kennels at night because we have cane toads, mozzies & LOTS of bats, so come dusk they're put to bed surrounded by mozzie coils, bug zappers and tucked up under blankets. The crates are on ply so the cold/damp doesn't come through the concrete under them, they have different bedding according to their chew-factor and until they're old enough to hold on all night they have a very small area of a play pen at the front of their crate for midnight accidents. They're let out to pee before we go to bed and out again by 6.30am, so it is definitely just for sleeping. Putting kennels and actual escape proof runs on our patio would be nuts in our situation - escape proof runs for Staffords means Fort Knox :laugh: gets a bit cold here at night in Vic in winter.

when I said a proper kennel I meant a proper dog house- a kennel, usually wooden, available on ebay, all sorts of sizes. Much better for permament sleeping quarters then a wire crate however much you dress it up. You can put one in each dog run and also put one under the ensuite window and if you need to keep them in that area you could put a small fence around the kennel. Easy to do.

once I read they weren't housetrained I found it much easier to resist.

Now they are calling for foster carers. They really haven't learnt a damned thing.

No, I don't really expect them at all with Christmas shutting things down for a couple of days.

Sorry to read this Sheridan. R.I.P Grumpy.

Did we really need to hear your "not so generous thoughts"? Why does the reason an old thread was posted in, generate such not so generous thoughts from you? Sometimes old threads are resurrected because they have interesting content. Do we not encourage people to search for old topics before posting new ones? Dannys darling is the one stirring, she has made some really strange posts lately. Attention seeking I guess.

that comment is from a family member I'd say, same surname

who would know? Those poor bloody dogs.

how can Ina belong to Kay's Greys when there has been no paperwork. Of course it may have turned up in yesterdays mail from PR.

certainly read like it and Ina is at a place where she needs a weatherproof bed - does that mean a kennel or what? And still calling for donations for the vet bills.

The dog isn't in your care? It's owned by someone else, and currently in a different persons house. You have no ties to the dog legally. Yes. Why do you keep saying the dog is in your care when you have told us the dog is with someone 5 minutes away from you?! The dog is staying in a foster home which we pay for everything for it why can't you guys get it through your heads . Anyway I will leave you to wallow in your shit storm and have fun doesn't mean anything all the rescues I have talked to have said the same thing and don't even come here and these are some great rescues So have fun with your drama and crap talking. We will continue to do our thing which is saving dogs and getting our paperwork together and going forward. Stalk the Facebook if you want to see the wonderful things we achieve the more likes we get the better so thanks for your help in liking our page and spreading the word of our group. Have a great Christmas. you don't have to like your FB page to see it. And the word is being spread but not in the way you think.

Hopefully the donations received have been passed on to the people who actually have the dogs, Ina and Lucky. I'm sure the rescue that took on Ina would be grateful. Cause they too can't do anything with the dog at the moment cause there is a lack of paperwork.

on the VCA facebook page "yarra valley dog show sunday will start at 8.30am and judge through" please verify yourself if you are going

I thought it was said in earlier post it is illegal to ask for donations if you are a private individual? Could be wrong though. Maybe it was in another thread.

and who ever clicks on the cover photo? Not this moron. Good try though. Th point is you stated it was edited to take the artists name out, another said it was theft. If you are going to make accusations then be smart enough to make sure you are saying the right thing or you end up looking pretty stupid. Took you a few hours to come up with the answer though. Told you it would be someone else's fault. I'm psychic now! oh I know. Not that I ever said the pic had been edited, I said the artist's name was cut off. Suppose that could be interpreted as edited. Or not.

yeah that's a bit annoying, I'd be livid too.

that's a bugger - been feeding it to fosters and now is mixed in with TOTW for both Fibbs & Simba. They both like it and eveything seems good but then yours aren't real greyhounds now are they? :) no sadly they are make believe ones

That's an awful lot like theft That's not our logo um the big picture at the top of your FB page that you are using

I'll help puppy sit instead of going to the show :D

funny how the logo adopted by Greylvr has had the original artist cut off. Original Pic. Hopefully they won't mind.

She is that's why is this hard to understand that Lucky is still with the rescue being fostered literally 5 minutes from our home. We see her we walk her we take her to the beach. Why is that hard for some to figure out? Because in your short rescue history, honesty, clarity and transparency hasn't been your strong point. I thought you weren't coming back here? I said I would continue to check the threads to set lies straight. See this person was under the impression that lucky was given to another rescue and we were pretending to have lucky that is not the case but no one here would correct it so if there is something that isnt happening that people are saying is happening I will correct it. I have blocked those that are here just to argue because I wont waste time on arguing with them. I corrected it. :D
