Have you had a look at Bach flowers remedies. They work on the animals emotions and can be useful where an animal has been abused. They can be made up to the dogs requirements http://www.bachcentre.com/centre/remedies.htm

Add the Yarns exhibit and museum at Deloraine and the Wall at Derwent Bridge near Lake St Clair.

Try a stock feed place or a friend with a horse they are chaff bags

I have used the gel garlic oil capsules on wounds and abscesses with great results. Pierce the capsule with a needle and squirt into hole normally within three or four days the wound has started to heal.

Found this really odd site. Sounds like it could be an interesting holiday. http://www.thedogisland.com/index.html

My pointer Whingie was a shoplifter, he liked the squeaky mice he would take them from the bins. We were in Werribee one day walked passed a pet shop that had toys out the front and he picked one up and took it with him, had to go back and pay for it. If only l could send him into Hardly Normal and have him come out with a big ticket item.

I have the TV on ABC watching Yellowstone in winter, pirate came over and was watching the coyote hunting for a few minutes and was moving his head following coyote around the screen, as soon as the coyote disappeared he lost interest. He like watching dogs horses birds, but doesn't like the big cats.

If you have a look at the pet policy most are underwritten by Hollard insurance.

Found this site and it has some good information. http://www.dogfoodproject.com/index.php?page=betterproducts

In an ideal world people would always be polite and ask if the can pat the dog. But alas we dont live in an ideal world and the dogs have to learn to cope with strange people coming up and touching. If parents or children ask if they can touch l give them a brief lesson on how to touch. If they are really obnoxious pat the the child on the head and go nice kiddy, shove a finger in the mouth check its teeth , hopefuly you wont get bitten saying nice kiddy, if you do get bitten report them and sue the pants off them, this is how you can supplement your income. Normally by this stage the parents have stormed off, but if you see them in the street again make beeline straight to them and start again. I think that turnabout is fair.

You can often find the intruction book on the website. Email the company and ask and they will often help http://www.wahl.com.au/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=80&Itemid=88

Pirate gets called rattypie, Diamond miss rodent ratbag

I was making a salad yesterday and the dogs were lining up for veges. They had a carrot, celery, cabbage, apple and a lettuce leaf. They also eat bananas, and pirate stole some blueberries.

Sometimes the Bach flower remedies can be helpful for emotional issues. I have used them on number of occassions and have found them to be helpful. Recue remedy is the main one that a lot of people use, You can also do your own mix, have a look at the chart and work out what could help and go from there. http://www.bachflower.com/38_Essences.htm

I order the Linda Mecklenburg DVD has anyone received theirs yet. Got the ready treat a doggle Abc course book and agility journal and a Julias harness which fits well.

I opened an internet account for the dogs to pay for entries and a few other things and it has worked really well. Put 30 week in. Emptied it though courtsey clean run

This is a really good site for cat cartoons www.simonscat.com

Wondering if anyone has experience Azotoria, tying up or muscle bound as the greyhound people call it. My corgi had an episode in May and was paralysed. He was taken to the vet and given anti inflamitories and some pain relief. He saw a Bowen therapist the following day and by evening was scooting and next morning back on his feet still a bit wobbley but over time has come right he is having pentasan about every six weeks. He is having teaspoon of hemp oil in his food at night as well as a muscle powder and brewers yeast. He became a chewer which is something he never did before the chewing is happening less often l think that it was a form of pain relief. Caught him with a shoe the other day he was very embarassed as he had always stuck to toys. Can anyone offer any advice as to how to avoid this in the future. Gayle

My Corgi was paralysed this year he is back on his tootsies. He has had intensive Bowen therapy visits to the vet for pentasan injections. He no longer has bones due to weakened back muscles that caused constipation. I include a teaspoon of brewers yeast for the vit b and teaspoon of hemp oil in his food. Hemp oil is a good source of omega 3,6,9. Since he has been the oil he seems to be happier.

Has anyone noticed that the wider the collar the longer it gets. I needed to buy a new collar for my pointer as the plastic clip had snapped. I bought a new collar yesterday which would be about an inch wide, it is adjusted to as small as it can go but it is still to big. Hopefully he will grow into it. I have never had this problem before.

We went to a canvas works and had a seat cover made up out of canvas cost $100 but worth it we had hole put in for the head rest to slide into rather than straps and the plastic buckles that break. it is designed as a sling, doesnt sag in the middle has pockets on the side for leads and things and is so much better than the one that you buy it
