Breathtakingly beautiful photo. What a bond this man has with his beloved dog. Truly heart warming & inspirational

Glad to hear Melton is on the improve. Thoughts are with you at this very worrying time. Bloody ticks They are evil.

Nasty Inevitablue, lucky you found it.

Well said DB, totally agree with you I am not a fan of these breeds either BUT I believe that 99% of the problem is not breed related but irresponsible dog ownership

Happy 1st Birthday Takoda ! Looks like you had a fabulous time girl. Lots of wonderful food & prezzies too. Such a beautiful girl :)

The coat does act as an insulator in warm weather too. Mine stay outside a lot in the warm weather and it doesn't seem to bother them at all. Thats interesting Bjelkier. Always been a huge fan of Sammies but not of the colder climate which I thought they had to live in. So want one now LOL. They are just so lovely. Thanks for answering my probably silly question :)

Just out of curiosity Bjelkier, are Samoyeds only suited to the colder climates or like most other double coated breeds they can adapt to warmer climates as well as their coat is an insulator against the elements? They just look so beautiful, like big snow bunnies :laugh:

He is very handsome boy. I can't see any Sheltie but I am not as experienced as many others on DOL. I do see Kelpie, Koolie. Hope he can find the home he deserves, a loving one.

Oh what a cutie Poor little fella, fleas & hook worm infested. Nothing like a daily double Looks like he is he very happy now with all your TLC. He's lovely :)

Awesome photo's. Your Sam's are having a blast in all that snow. Just beautiful dogs

Here here Jules P, + 1 from me. Really pleased you are not out of pocket Owey but I'm sure that you & your family could have done without all the anguish & heart ache There just isn't a price on that, is there? I so do hope when all your family are ready you can relax & truly enjoy your new B.C. puppy & all the love & warmth they can bring to a family home :)

Lovely, heart warming story. Just beautiful. Wonderful dog for an equally fitting family :)

WOW !! They look terrific. What a marvellous job you have all done. They all look so much more happy :) No cowering down any more, just bounding around with ears pricked. Just a wonderful sight to see. Some even have for ever homes already.That's made my day. Hats off to all involved &

Hi Heston 1, bet your looking forward to your Christmas holiday's. It is crazy busy over the Xmas hols here. Usually we go away at Xmas to get away from the "invation" LOL. It is a beautiful place with lots of very pretty water ways. As far as car travel with Heston, my 2 have travelled with us from puppies & my boy is an excellent traveller but my girl used to get car sick. I have found with her no food before or during the journey. Air con on med. We always stop every 2 hours or more if someone is becoming restless. We have a Spill proof water bowl that is always there if they get thirsty. What also helped Stella was OH decked out the back of our Landcruiser so our 2 can see out of the windows & see us too. She settles very well now :) Spoilt, yes I know but thats what you have them for, isn't it. Hope I was of some help & might catch you on the beach during your stay. Enjoy :)

+ 1 :)

Yes, there are quite a gew Sting Rays at Bagnalls from time to time. Also got to watch the Razor fish shells that are extremely sharp & are obvious when its low tide. They are in the shape of a big fan, probably 10 inches high & stand upright in the sand. And last thing is be very aware of any dead Toad fish that may have been washed up on the shore & make for a very lushious snack for our precious 4 legged BF's. These can be lethial. Sonny gulped one down about six months ago & I rushed him to the Vets & they gave him something to make him throw up but it saved his life. They are only a small fish but they feed on very toxic sea algie apparently. Don't mean to freak every body out, just a "heads up" is all.

What an impressive list of achievements. Congratulations to you both on a marvellous effort. I would be wrapped with any one of those titles LOL :)

Yeah, Can't have it all but pretty darn close to it :)

That was at Baggies TCM. I don't let my 2 swim out very far off the shore, no more than say 1 metre at the most. At Wreck I wouldn't let them swim, apart from just wadding in the water as it is ' in the ocean' & there has been sharks seen all along that break & also at Baggies , just in the bay there, again just be careful but enjoy our beautiful piece of heaven :)

Wreck is awesome, isn't it? Love it ! And you also got to meet a dolphin welcome to our paradise :) I see dolpins almost every day. Just the other day Sonny was swimming & 2 popped up, one either side of him. He loved it & wasn't at all frightened. It was magical.

To be honest I have heard conflicting verdicts on this, some say yes & some say no, its not an off leash dog beach. I have only been out there to swim as I have been told a lot of big dogs get out & I always like to "play it safe" when it comes to where I let my dogs have run. Another worry is people camp on the beach & drive their 4x4's so I am concerned for my dogs safety.

Omg. Poor birds & other innocent animals slaughtered. I am at a loss for words once again. Hope these b@st#rds are caught before they reoffend & they will

Thats weird. I havent tried yet as I am waiting till next week or so as am broke atm

So get that, pure evil PS, nothin more LOL Can't thank you enough :) :) I am going to buy a couple to donate to those less fortunate.

We are very, very lucky to have such a beautiful place to go to with our furry kids aren't we? I never take it for ganted & enjoy it so much each & every day, as do my dogs. You must be excited getting a new little puppy. Will certainly say Hi & good luck with your new littely :)
