  1. I always love looking at photos of your dogs, they are adorable! And your photography is really great, well done
  2. Oh I hope she will be ok big hugs!
  3. I will definitely come and visit at some stage, as your area is one of the top places to check out on my list of 'where to move to' options
  4. I was really looking forward to this but have discovered that my dog-minder (ex-OH) already has plans for that weekend so I can't come :D
  5. hmmmmm.... I always love hanging around dog shows... and onstillnflash, maybe I should come and check out this place you live in
  6. Looks great! But I am curious - how much did it cost? And what happens when the dogs pee and poop on it???
  7. Yep, working in retail I can understand where they are coming from, I have been shouted at, sworn at, my staff have had things thrown at them... and quite often it is for something that is not our mistake, not our fault, and often not even something we can do anything about
  8. just stumbled across this being advertised on facebook http://www.playgrey.org/
  9. HAPPY BIRTHDAY COWBOY!!! Glad you had such a good day
  10. Oh no I am so sad to hear this, I was so pleased to see that you gave her a chance Belgrael, you did a great thing, thank you to everyone who helped her to end her life with dignity and love. Fly free beautiful girl.
  11. lynda In some states the old laws about greyhounds wearing muzzles have not been repealed yet. However in other states they do not have to be muzzled. Many greyhounds are no more aggressive than any other dogs. Before I had greys I used to have JRTs and they also have a very high prey drive and one of mine killed a pet rabbit (long story). But I doubt that greys are any more 'dangerous' than many other breeds. On the flip side, I have fostered quite a few greyhounds, and there were two that I did not rehome, but very sadly had them euthanased, as I believe that they would have killed a small fluffy dog if given the chance. But I have also had a couple of crossbreed fosters PTS as well for the same reason.
  12. I think they are hard to rehome because of the misconceptions that the general public has about them eg they must be vicious because they wear a muzzle, and they are race dogs so they must need lots of exercise (nothing is further from the truth lol!). Also, i just think that when most people think about getting a pet dog, the idea of getting a greyhound would never enter their heads.
  13. My sentiments exactly. I've been around horses all my life & know that a lot of that behaviour will not be tolerated by a horse/pony. This dog needs to learn boundaries when it comes to herding. Otherwise it is likely this won't be the last accident. Agree with these posters, the dogs need to be prevented from chasing the pony. A horse can do a LOT of damage to a dog, I have seen a pony come down on a dog and smash the dogs leg, bone shattered, dog needed major surgery to pin and plate the leg back together, with 6 weeks of being crated afterwards. The dog will always walk with a limp. The vet fees cost over $3000 all up. BTW, almost immediately after the pony landed on the dog, he was trying to get up and walk and had to be restrained, so yes they will get up and walk around even if there is major damage.
  14. hope you all have a good time If i had known earlier I might have come for a visit as some of my favourite relatives live near Kempsey.
