  1. Don't do what I did and call your dog Nova. One day in I realised I will NEVER be able to use the word No.

    I will one up you and also call another dog Jovi who regulary gets called Jove and I call Nova 'Nove'......my poor confused dogs :rofl:

    I have a Jovi, and I am bias but I adore her name. It's unique and easy to say in a hurry!

    I have a Jove, his name generally shortened to Jo he also gets Jovey or Jobo.

  2. I took my dog Jove for his vaccine today and asked the vet if she could check out his ears as he'd been scratching. Turns out he had grass seeds in both ears and they had to sedate him to remove them as they had moved right down his ear canal, luckily not badly infected yet or puncturing his ear drum.

    Was wondering if any one else has had this happen or has any suggestions to prevent them from getting in his ears.

    A picture of the culprits that have been removed. Eta, and my poor boy recovering in bed.

  3. I'm a preschool teacher so thought I'd share some advice. Kids like books that are short and sweet, repetitive and good have pictures even actual photo's could be good. 6-10 is a big age group that all have different learning abilities/ attention span's. Some six year olds can barely read and some 10 year olds can read a short novel, not saying all are like this. If you make it interesting (slightly adult focused) or it has a bit of humour in it chances are parents or teachers are more likely to want to read it to their children. I've read a childrens book about a rescue puppy that was deaf to children (can't think of the title) it was too long and way above the kids heads.

  4. Jove goes through stages of different toys, some survive longer than others. Right now its a giant caterpiller that we brought for him with full knowledge that it would probably cause a snow storm surprising its still kinda together but lost a few legs and no longer has a smiling face :laugh: . Its a babies toy not a dogs the check out chick looked at me funny after she said how cute it was and I told her it was for my dog.

  5. You think its bad when your walking dogs. Try walking a ferret and wait for all the second glances, comments and loud whispers once you pass them "OH MY GOD ITS A FERRET", "Does he bite?", "Do they realy stink", "How much are they worth?", "What kind of animal IS that??" or just the rude "They are horrible nasty animals".

  6. Lyss i would love to have a ferret or 2!! I think u need a permit for in qld... :shrug: they are too cute

    Yeah I love my boys I think there illegal now in QLD though not completely sure. There not for every body though most people make the mistake of thinking there like rats and can live out their days in a cage but they need about as much exercise as a cat or a small dog. If handeld properly they make great smoochy pets unfortunately theres just alot of ferrets out there that don't have proper care so give the rest of ferrets a bad name. But if you kept a dog in a cage 24/7 surrounded by its own filth and only touched it once in a blue moon im sure it would stink and bite also. Any way a dog forum isn't the right place to rant about ferrets. :laugh:
