I have 3 kids 11, 8 & 5. The 11 yr old is responsible for feeding the 2 dogs & cat & she shares the duty of pooh patrol with her 8 yr old sister. The 8 yr old is responsible for grooming the cat. I am responsible for walking & training the dogs & also for washing, worming, fleaing etc. Oh & of course paying for them! The kids had no say in the breed of dog as we had ridgies before they were born. They did however help choose the name, we all voted on our favourite :) My 11yr old was with us when we pts our girl last year. It was her decision & I think it was the right one. She now understands that being responsible also means that sometimes you have to make really hard decisions. She handled it way better than I & it taught her a lot about grief & death. We never had pets as children as we lived in a unit, Mum didn't have the money or time either. I am glad we didnt because of those reasons but wow, I love having furkids. We get so much pleasure out of them :)

Thanks english.ivy. It looked to me that the ingredients were very similar hence my curiosity ;)

is Black Hawk the same dry food as the Holistic brand offered by Next generation Pet foods?

Thanks for sharing

Hi Missy...don't have a great deal of advice apart from they probably should have not been left alone when you were out! I separated mine for some weeks as an older dog is far too rough to be left unsupervised with a puppy. I am sure more there will lots of good advice re what to do, GL!

Oh that is so sad There really are no words, be kind to yourself x

As a ridgie lover & owner, I am wishing you the best of luck. Ours have always adored kids ~ just curious as to how does she handle them in your own home? Looks like you have some great support, you're very lucky!

My girls & I have never recovered from watching Hachi Chris Mother of the year for that pick! (Note to self -read the cover next time!!!!!)

Just a question please - could someone recommend where to buy online in Oz for antlers, pigs ears & treats please? I didn't place an order on clean run for these as I thought customs may destroy them. Thanks

Thank you OP, I just bought a heap of goodies for my pup & soon to be puppy

Will check these sites out, thank you all so much for sharing ;)

oops sorry, thank you

I am after Sentinel spectrum for large dogs & revolution for the cat. PP was by far the cheapest I found for both & I wouldn't be whinging had it been a slight increase!

Thank you, I will check them both out

Sadly, I thought that was the case Mags. Tiff, how much did yours rise? Stormie, I think the Sentinel rise was more than 10% on PP - I went to purchase yesterday & the price had risen by $47.00 for 2 products! Any recommendations for both Revolution & Sentinel online please?
