Some lovely photos of you guys there http://members.iinet.net.au/~fairley/wclasic2012/content/IMG_8201_large.html Is that Ruby? Awesome pic :D

Cool :D A friend at work who lives on one of the new developments on the northern outskirts of Perth, had one trotting down her road the other day!

Poor Pippa Awwwww just adorable mirawee Hope all poorly peeps and kids feel better soon :) Have a fab time at crufts ST :D We had a Clumber on the yard I worked on years ago, she was the most adorable puppy - talk about large paws! :laugh: and she matured into a huge spaniel with a beautiful temperment, she was a good worker on shoots :D From wikipedia "They have several habits which could be considered disadvantages, including a constant shedding of its coat, snoring and the production of excessive drool."

Sid's face in the second one is priceless Love his little whiskers :D

Keep them coming kja, love seeing your underwater work The nudi is gorgeous :D What did the mean frogfish get you with, do they just ram their bodies into you?

Cool :D $79 for the upgrade I've found it very intuitive to use, but may just wait a few weeks for any bugs to be discovered :laugh:

Congratulations Showdog :rolleyes: I don't know - the youth of today and their 'pop' music :laugh:

:laugh: Were you there Tiggy? It actually hasn't been too bad - yet......... I'm sure there's a few more hours to go still :laugh: eta - Uh oh, spoke too soon - now it's thumping :laugh:

Big Congratulations Ptolomy and Scoota eta - just read your post above, sounds like a very special trophy indeed :) And well done RS, sounds like your girls have been doing very well too I think I'm in for a noisy day today - Slipknot, Limp Bizkit and Marilyn Manson headlining at a festival down the road Well ok a 5 min drive away, but I can already hear it starting :laugh:

Cheers kja :) I think I'll go for it, I don't do fashion or cosmetics, so there's not much else for me from Myer :laugh:

Thanks Kirislin, but the gift card is for Myers only and the 5 MDH seems to be the largest one they do

MnDM Sorry for your loss Super pics everyone :D Look at those ears Flaves :laugh: l like your flood shot MTD, hope you didn't suffer too much damage! Great spidey shots too :) Week 8 - Dove in the evening sun. Week 9. - Garden Skink. This little monster had just grabbed a much smaller skink round the belly and gave him a good shake! I love watching these little dramas play out on the lemon tree outside the kitchen window :)

I know it's not a prime, but how about the Sigma 17-70? I've been very pleased with mine since I got it, a very versatile lens :) http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/670047-REG/Sigma_668101_17_70mm_F2_8_4_DC_Macro.html Edit to change link from Nikon to Canon :laugh:

I've been given a Myers $250 voucher, so of course the first thing I thought of was camera gear :D I'd like a bag to take out and about, not for all my lenses, but for the 7D with a 17-70 lens attached and room for my medium sized zoom. Does anyone have a Crumpler 5 MDH bag with a 7D? I read some reviews that say it fits ok, and others say it's a squeeze Unfortunately the 5 seems to be the largest they do. TIA :)

So jealous of you being in the UK in spring time :laugh: Have a wonderful time, and enjoy yourself at Crufts Have a look for Holly&Lil, they do the best dog collars :D http://www.hollyandlil.co.uk/whats-hot-15-w.asp Ooooo how exciting! will have everything crossed for you And good to hear all is going well at Byford :) Rosie, sounds like a very adventurous morning! Well done for helping out and hope they are reunited with owners soon :)

Congratulations Ptolomy, sounds like a great night for you and the terrific tollers :D

Well I just made a total t*t of myself at the vets I was collecting Daisy from the groomers and there was a lovely black greyhound in the waiting area, so of course the logical thing to do was to burst into tears when they said I could touch her :laugh: In my defense this is the first grey I have ben close to since re-homing Frida 2 years ago - the owners were very understanding once I composed myself and explained my reaction :laugh: Good luck to everyone competing over the next few days :D

Yeah come on people, this is the friendly thread - Group Hug :D but.....interestingly isn't it the reverse in horses? I seem to remember show jumping and eventing getting all the big money prizes, where as show champions were grateful for a bag of feed :laugh: Weirdos :p Good news from the vets, Louis had an acrochordon (posh name for a skin tag :laugh: ) and it's all benign

*Note to self* always check google first before making dumb assumptions on DOL :laugh:

I thought Lassie was American? I've been to Beddgelert many times - had some beautiful walks round there and it also has the best ice cream parlour in the world The dog's name was Gelert :) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gelert I can't believe they left out Shep, the famous Blue Peter dog :D but Petra was my favorite from the show :)

Glad to hear she is doing well They were the longest 30 days of my life I think :laugh: What ingenious rules have they brought in now? eta - luckily when we head back to the UK there won't be any quarantine :)

Thanks Ptolomy :) How's Chica getting on, is she coping ok there?

Louis is home and looking ok He just had sedation and a local, so no GA, and the allergic reaction has gone right down, just a few red spots now and no large welts! He's crashed out on the sofa now as it's obviously been an exhausting experience for him :laugh: Results back in a week.....

Ouch emery, hope you're ankle is ok! The vet just called - Louis has had a reaction to the AB's he was given after having his little lump removed Big red welts all over his body! He's been given anti-histamines and cortisone cream, and his skin has calmed down a lot now. I feel so bad - as soon as the vet started to say it I remembered he'd had a reaction before to something, but the vet at the time (back in Scotland) wasn't sure if it was to the AB's or not - my poor little boy The lump has gone for testing, but she's 95% sure it's nothing nasty :) Can't wait to pick him up tonight!

Phew, that's good to hear Ptolomy :D I bet she's missing the snow already :laugh:
