Boonie loves everyone - unless you're a possum, then you're fair game, oh and also if you're a scrub turkey.

...excess is now according to their website always $150: $150(Up to 8 years)... $150+20%(8-10 years)... $150+35%(10+ years; however, they also include 'third party liability'...that is something other dog insurances won't cover?...I would pay between $43.19 (Essential) and $65.38 (Ultimate) p.m....not the cheapest insurance, but considering the package the best value I found so far... don't know if it's because I had a pre existing policy - because I just called and my excess is still only $100. I'm on the Classic 2 policy - second most comprehensive.

On Petplan - I pay roughly $40 a month - have had it since we got him. they pay back 100% of all vet bills until he reaches the age of 8 then it changes to the standard 80%. $100 excess - this increases to $150 when he reaches 8 also. fingers crossed we've never had to use it so we've spent $2.5k over the last 5 years for nothing, well not nothing, for peace of mind and I'm happy to keep paying it really.

haha - I was only joking I actually went to reply and thought "what 5 words can I use to explain Boonie" wondered if anyone actually had described a dog they didn't own.

ITT - people picking 5 words to describe the dog they already own

Hey PS, I wasn't on over the weekend - saw this message this morning. I have PM'd you her details.

If it hasn't already been mentioned - there's a pullout in today's Courier Mail all about Dog Park etiquette. edit to add link http://www.couriermail.com.au/life/outabout/doggie-dos-and-donts/story-e6frer76-1226191871029

Boonie last xmas - 6mths old.

Is there a neighbourhood cat about? These buggers carry fleas into other yards and their owner's hardly ever know the cat has fleas as they don't scratch and are more resistant to the little buggers.

That was amazing

here in qld at ipswich and logan its very common for people to contact the pound and report the dog found but still keep them at there own property. and they seen to be fine with that. What Daveri said - she has called the pounds, local vets. they are more than happy for her to keep her whilst looking for her owners or her 'new' owners.

Cheers - I'll pass this on to her.

not sure - will try and get the info off of the lady

I rang Steven - it is a dog they are after - so that was a bit sad actually making that call.

although that says dog - this is a bitch
