  1. I will be there exhibiting my handsome British Shorthair boy "Barney".
  2. Just sharing this, so don't contact me:
  3. BOY are there going to be a lot of dogs "dying" in Geelong, and other Victorian councils if this goes ahead!!! Of course I'm sure the councils won't lose any sleep over it - they'll just raise the price of dog registration to make up for the losses. Have the politicians actually met any of these breeds? Or are they just going off what some "experts" (and I use the term VERY loosely) tell them.

  5. *BUMP* Vote for Flynny! Could people also be so kind to also like my cat Barney in the Feline Category: CLICK & LIKE Thanks a bunch!
  6. Thanks for the tips guys - I ended up buying it from here for $25.75 with free postage! I also bought it Thursday night, was posted Friday, and got here today! http://shop.ebay.com.au/neophyteseller13/m.html?_trksid=p4340.l2562
  7. Hi all, I need to buy a furminator for my cats. I was wondering where the cheapest place online would be to grab one, and thought what better place to look than Show Ring on DOL. Thanks!
  8. Thanks Loz, I've been enjoying my Boxer fix from your FB pics of Bondi, and that fab drawing that you did recently. You are so talented!
  9. What a lovely looking girl your Zara was RL. So sorry for your loss.
  10. So sorry for your loss Bartok. Run free ol' boy.
  11. RIP Kuga. Run free with my Rocky-boy - you can be the new kids on the block together.
  12. I'm a little better. Lara, OH & I go down to his grave (where his remberance tree is planted on top of) each day to water it (except the past few days when it's been raining a lot). We plan on getting another Boxer in the future, but next time a solid red bitch, which we can show. Of course they don't show up often, so that gives us plenty of time to grieve. We still have our Labrador, so aren't dogless at all. We have Rocky's Lure Coursing glass plaque on our mantle piece and lots of photos around the living area which Lara likes to point out to us. Hopefully he has LOTS of lovely dogs to play with at rainbow bridge, especially if they're lots of fun & love to clown around like it sounds like your Kuges did.
  13. Thanks everyone for your kind words. I'm still trying to get used to the idea of being a 1 dog family again. It's such a foreign feeling, and I think my Lab Molly is a bit confused as to where her annoying little brother is. We've had Rocky since just before Molly turned a year old.
  14. http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/toddler-d...o-1226017089334 So sad!
  15. Here's another few photos of Rocky (from my OzBoxers Yahoo Group folders) He even made the sports results section of the Bundaberg News Mail for his Endurance test - First dog in Bundaberg to get the ET title.
  16. The most awesome dog in my world was PTS this morning. My lovely Boxer boy Rocky deteriorated these past few days, and the decision was made to have him PTS this morning, as we don't like seeing our dogs suffering. Rocky was bought for my husband, as he always wanted a Boxer, and I'm glad he did. Even though he was his dog, I was primary dog trainer, and we enjoyed doing Obedience together (we got our Novice sweepstakes certificate), then trained for Endurance, and got his title, trained in Agility - just for fun, then finally, where Rocky found his niche - Lure Coursing, where he got to Open Courser level. He was the class clown at Obedience, and had a short attention span, so we had to make it fun fun fun. Of course, we took him to the Boxer National in Brisbane, but because he was so in awe of all those other Boxers, he just sat there, just looking around when we did the recall - embarrassing at the time, but we just laugh about it now. He did AWESOME at the Endurance test, even though he was a little TOO enthusiastic, and pulled me almost the whole 20km, and we had to keep slamming on the brakes so as not to run into the lady with the border collie in front of us. Rocky just THRIVED at Lure Coursing - he LOVED chasing a plastic bag around a big open field. Almost every meet he won his group or combined group, and was invited to the Invitational both years we were there. He also won the best Boxer trophy in 2006, with LOTS of competition - he was so good at it, that breeders who had been going for years left, because he couldn't be beaten. I also remember the time when he was coursing and was watching the lure so intently, that he didn't notice a 1m high plastic barrier fence until he was around 2m away from it, and had to littrally jump straight up in the air, but he still cleared it with ease. But his biggest achievement of all, was that of a beloved pet. He loved to sit in our laps, or on our Labrador Molly if he was cold, or didn't want to get his bum wet on the grass. He gave Lara big sloppy Boxer kisses. RIP Rocky - the best Boxer in the world! I hope to see you sitting waiting patiently in a sit-stay for me at the Rainbow bridge. LOVE YOU BOY! Rocky - Australian Bred Boxer of Distinction
  17. I'm sorry to hear that - we've having our Boxer Rocky PTS in 1/2 hrs time. He's also gone downhill VERY rapidly. I'm sitting here giving what will be the last hugs I give Rocky, and I'm very very sad. RIP Caesar.
  18. I just wanted to share pics of my daughter Lara with our almost 10 year old Labrador Molly. They've both been "helping" my hubby prepare a spot in our yard for a cat cage, and Molly got quite dirty as you can see - Lara's just fresh out of the shower, so looks rather clean in comparison. And Lara with her Daddy.
  19. We used to get Cattle ticks on our dogs when we lived on the border of a swamp in Qld. They even got them down their ears! We used Permoxin on the dogs, and the ticks left them alone then.
  20. Anyone in Qld - My old boss was awesome at doing Hips/Elbows. She's a bit of a perfectionist, and if it's not 100% perfect, she will re-take the xray. Dr Karin Mogg, Currimundi Vet Surgery, 698C Nicklin Way, Currimundi (Sunshine Coast) Qld, 4551. She did my sister's dog (Labrador), and he was 1:1, 0:0. AVA scored it.
  21. Sorry - was in a hurry & wrote today, when it was yesterday. Will ammend title.
  22. My friend's friend had a pug cross flown to Melb today - I'm not sure if they were on the plane, or it was being flown to them. http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=186599324707004 Please share on FB if you don't mind.
  23. I was still there at 4:30. Just I was getting last of my things. Or should I say, the "Relay for life" organisers were getting my stuff from inside, and bringing it to my car in the main arena. They were starting to stack the tables not being used before 4pm! I think people would have stuck around longer if they hadn't felt "rushed" by them.
  24. No cat show unfortunately. Just breed displays. My British, as well as the raggies/maine coons. There were meant to be other breeds, but they were no-shows.
  25. Nice pics RuralPug. Well that was a LOOOOOOOOONNNNNGGGGG day, but we're finally home. I was expecting more people, and the "inside" to be in a nice air conditioned building, and not to be in direct sunlight from the window. Boy was it a hot day. The only dampener on the day, was some moronic person with a choc kelpie "temperament testing" their dog with the cats. The other cat breeder asked them to please move away, and they didn't listen. When they did eventually leave (a good 10 minutes later!), the dog got away from them, and raced back & tried to "go" the cat! If that was a DOLer - SHAME ON YOU! And with that, I'm off to bed.
