BC Crazy

The Roomba holds a fair amount before it needs to be emptied.They will stop automatically if they are full & tell you they need to be emptied if you forget. Our house is fairly large & I empty mine maybe twice. I too have LOTS of dog hair floating pretty much everywhere so ours is mainly full of black & white fluff LOL. We also have a ton of stairs but it goes right to the edge then turns away. I only get the Dyson out once a week now days to do full vac. Including skirting boards etc. Everyday I just put Roomba on in the kitchen while Im out walking my guys & it docks itself to recharge when its finished. Come home put it in lounge room to vac there. Etc Love it :)

I loooovvvveeee my Roomba 780. I have had it for a couple of years now. Use it daily. Fantastic on carpet, rugs & all surfaces. Best thing I ever brought

Love Hamish..

I know they are gross, aren't they? What is it with them. Sonny hates being smelly & never eats anything yukky Great Sheena will have a look at that. I'm collecting all these ideas as we will hopefully be moving onto bigger flat block early next year if all goes to plan No room here at all for me to do this. Just had to edit. Sheena, they look great. Mr BCC is a plumber so he should be able to rig a few jumps etc up for me, no dramas. I am unable to jump Sonny anymore unfortunately as he has arthritic hips, but I can do some flat work with him maybe. Stella loves to do everything.

I usually have a few names picked out, then when I get the puppy I choose from one of them. Having said that my last 2 BC's names where picked before I got them. Sonny was always going to be Sonny & Stella May the same. And the names suit both perfectly IMHO. I have a few names picked out for my next boy hopefully from the same breeder as Sonny. If they will have me back again when the time is right I do get a tad excited about the whole 'new puppy' thing. Bit like a kid in a candy shop Hopefully they are used to that with me now.

Gosh persephone, you are very clever. Your photo's are always beautiful. I can barely upload a pic :laugh:

Ha Ha ... That is just so cute

My poo eating girl would be in her glory then Sheena :laugh: If it doesn't taste too good she will always add it to her perfume collection by rolling in it :p

Just spotted this, excellent ideas & cheap. Thanks for sharing Sheena Will be stealing some of these ideas. I have the same problem as Hankdog, what about the paddock ???? :laugh:

Beautiful teekay. Do hope you are feeling better now :)

Almost missed Digby's frozen yoghurt adventures. Gorgeous man is having a very scrummy time. Yes there is heaven on earth & he is living it....♡

Oh dear, Benny is looking sooooo stressed. He hasn't settled in at all...... Sorry I don't have any helpful advice Brandiandwe. What are you to do...... giggle :) ;)

Thanks so much for your valuable advice mish13 :) Will pass it on to my stepson. I do know he has been carrying her everywhere as we all have. Doesn't let her jump or anything like that. When I did take her outside I did let her walk but only 5 or 6 steps on flat,grassed area then she just plonked herself down & played with the grass. I just sat in the sun next to her. She seemed very content just to sit & have a look about. I have been onto him about her diet. He has been doing a far bit of research himself as well. I was also concerned about the bite inhibition issue but she didn't show any signs of that being a problem when I minded her. She did grab my pants a couple of times but a firm 'NO' & she let go, which is good. feeding her has much improved as well. She sits now waiting for her meal where as before she was very pushy. Totally agree the BYB needs to be reported I have tried to get some details about her but not having much luck, I haven't given up yet though. Makes me so dam mad. she's done a really good sales job on him cause he seems to feel sorry for her. She doesn't have any money, blah blah... I know my stepson has done the wrong thing & gone about buying this pup the wrong way but I hate to think how many puppies this woman & others just like her have sold, 'under age' , to totally clueless, non caring owners. When $$$ comes into, ethic's & doing the right thing go out the window

Great news Very happy for the family concerned :D

Gosh German shep fan... Mini-me alright. They are identical almost. Beautiful looking shepherds

Really, I didn't think they'd travel. Very interesting... Thanks :)

Oh that sounds great Scottsmum. Glad you both had fun :) I would have to travel 7 hours round trip. May be just not doable for us unfortunately. Good news Scottie didn't puke.

Yes they are aren't they ... just when you think you have heard it all

Thats a good idea rebanne. Every 6 weeks over winter.

Oh she is Simply Grand ;) She is so good for her age. She is only 8 weeks today. Just a baby. Kirby just wimpered a little so I took her outside & toilet time. Had a game with her,she had a run around for 5 mins. Brought her back inside & put her on her bed. Went straight to sleep. Wonderful really considering her age :)

Totally agree with this !!! :)

Hey tails, I use Valuheart monthly tabs. I pay about $15 for half a year for a 20kg dog :)

I do first of the month, heartworm. First & third Saturday Advantix. That is the only way I remember.

I will have a go at some pic's, promise. I have taken a few with my phone. Just a tad busy atm. Kirby is asleep so I'm catching up on a few things. Forgot what perfect time wasters puppies are :laugh: She is extremely cute guy's. Kirby's is a fawn colour with green eye's. And oooh the divine puppy breath ;) Raineth, Yes poor Sonny is like, here we go again :laugh: Stella has really surprised me. But I will keep everyone monitored. Stella can be very quick & can snap so just best to be careful. Oh & I wouldn't take much pushing into getting a giant puppy. I have always wanted a saint rough coat. Adore them.

Well we are about 3 hours into our 10 hour approx. puppy minding Saturday. Kirby is such a funny 'big' puppy. I've set up the puppy pen in the kitchen. Put a bed & water in there. Then we went for a stroll in the front yard on a long leash so she could have a bit of a romp & romp she did. Then she lays down & plays with the grass. When she looked a bit sleepy I put her back in her pen. She slept for a bit then whined so toilet outside, then back inside for a big meaty bone which she has been devouring ever since. She seems a very content, healthy girl. Which is great. I have to carry her around the house cause we have stairs everywhere. There's 14 stairs just to go from the kitchen to the front door. She doesn't seem to mind being carried. In fact she doesn't seem to mind anything. Very easy going girl thus far. My 2 have their noises out of joint, especially Sonny. I was worried about Stella but she just ignores her. Sonny was growling & being a bit pushy with Kirby. Not happy at all Jan :laugh: So we are keeping our 2 totally separate from her. Better safe than sorry. It's only for a short time anyway. Don't know if I should of put my hand up for this Kirby minding. One very puppy clucky doler here now :D
