  1. That's just the best story and the perfect photo Made my day much brighter
  2. She's OK, I'm walking her dogs while she heals I will let her know today about this post
  3. Ahh yes the hand chomping. I get that sometimes and never really knew why. She will stop if I say so but still not good.
  4. I tend to agree, if they are old stains, you cannot get rid of them. I have tried Natures Miracle, Bio Zet diluted with water and scrubbed with toothbrush, vinegar and warm water, bi carb and vinegar. It gets rid of the stain but it reappears again within a week because of tracking. So I think I pretty much have to get rid of the carpet and start again. This was from when Tahli was still toilet training and just took a bit of time with few accidents which sometimes I didn't get in time. People have also told me I can hire a carpet cleaner but are they just going to keep coming back? can't be bothered. Think I would rather replace the small area instead.
  5. Maybe the dog was too groggy to even notice or remember what happened maybe just got surprised and will be fine next time? who knows, hope he is ok. But I would probably go to another vet if I am going to worry about how they handle my dog when I'm not there, it's not worth the stress and worry but that's just me. Impressions last on me and hard to change if I saw that I would be upset about it too seeing my dog came out of surgery I would expect calmer handling. Lucky for me, my vet lets us do the weighing, put her on the table etc which is how I prefer it.
  6. How brave of you I hate seeing dog fights when the owners do nothing to stop it, especially the likes of the idiots with the SBT. I can imagine this poor family are going to go through hell if this goes further, the SBT owners should wear the costs thats an awful injury for a dog. And I hate the fact morons like that create a bad reputation for dogs. Good on you for helping a family like that, poor things.
  7. Hey never even knew about that show whats it about and what night is it on? going to record it haha Mainly working dogs, rescue dogs, studies for dogs detecting cancer, dogs working with the disabled. The next one is about dogs hearing and how it's helped save lives. It's on Saturdays 5pm channel 7 :D FFurball - when is The Haunted on? I'd like to check that out
  8. Just heard on the news a third dog has died :D
  9. Dog Whisperer, It's me or the Dog, Animal cop shows, My Dog Ate What, Dogs 101 On normal TV been watching the Eukanuba Extraordinary Dogs on channel 7, which is pretty cool. Besides that, I used to LOVE LOVE LOVE watching Bite Me, by Virologist and adventure junkie Dr. Mike Leahy..was the most interesting show ever, but hasn't been on, hope he does some new shows.
  10. Absolutely disgusting. RIP poor pups :D I think all parks should have surveillance if this keeps happening..there has been several parks in the last few months being baited and very hard to catch these people.
  11. My favourite excuse is "ohh he has small dog syndrome"
  12. Geezus how scary that is my worst nightmare but don't get any around here. Hope they make a speedy recovery guys
  13. Nothin' but a pound dog, but now with a great future A PRIVATELY owned animal pound in Sydney is to become the first in the state to promise not to put any animals down, and to find homes for every healthy pet that comes through its doors. The ambitious aim has been achieved by shelters elsewhere, said Tim Vasudeva, the manager of the Sydney Cats and Dogs Home in Carlton. The Getting to Zero initiative, started by the Queensland Animal Welfare League, means pounds make a public commitment to finding homes for all the healthy, well-adjusted dogs and cats in their care. Dangerous breeds, aggressive animals and feral cats cannot be found homes, so the best case scenario - as achieved by the league's Gold Coast shelter in Coombabah - is homes found for about 90 per cent of dogs and 75 per cent of cats. Australia has an unacceptably high rate of dogs and cats being put down, animal rescue workers say, about 250,000 each year. But in Britain, which has almost three times the human population, the number is about 25,000 a year. Mr Vasudeva said the difference was that Australia has ''puppy factories'' and backyard breeders who prosper because domestic animal legislation, which states outsource to cash-strapped councils, is weakly enforced. Last month the RSPCA called for national regulations to stamp out puppy farming. The Sydney Cats and Dogs Home, which takes in feral cats, stray dogs and surrendered pets from 11 council areas, has room for 150 animals. It is only funded by councils to keep microchipped pets for a maximum of 14 days. ''It could be the world's best cat or dog, but we have to come up with the money to look after them if it takes six to eight weeks to re-home that animal,'' said Mr Vasudeva, a former banker who works as a full-time volunteer manager at the shelter. ''We should be able to give the animals that amount of time, but we need community support to do that.'' In partnership with the Queensland Animal Welfare League, the pound plans to expand its network of foster carers who look after dogs or cats until a permanent home is found. But it needs donations and more volunteers to walk the dogs and update the website to publicise the pets. Kristina Vesk, from the Cat Protection Society, which is also participating in Getting to Zero initiative, said landlords and strata bodies can help by being pet-friendly. ''We have a lot of cats surrendered to us, very well cared for and loved, because in Sydney it can be so hard to find pet-friendly accommodation. That's really sad for the animals and the people.''

  14. Yep Tahli does it, not OCD or anything but she loves the hands. She does it mainly when I get home from work or after I have fed her. I don't mind it but has to stop once it goes on for too long
  15. As Winterpaws said, you just don't want the wrong person to do any harm to the dog either. There are plenty of sicko's who if given the chance can bait the dog because they are angry. You have to be careful.
