  1. I have one of these: http://www.peugeot.com.au/offer/new-4007/ . It is seriously fantastic! I have fit many large dogs in it with no problems, it's is extremely economical and lovely to drive. I researched for ages! I needed a farm car that could fit feed bags, hay bales, dogs, crates etc and the Peugeot was the end result. Had it two yrs now, done 50,000k's and I'm still in love with it. I loved that it had the boot lip folding down so I could slide my car hating, giant sized dog and my elderly large dog in to it more easily. Also good for sliding in heavy feed bags etc, easier on my back.

  2. Great work in your understanding that not everybody is as dog crazy as many people

    I agree. I think you were very thoughtful. I always lock my dogs out for visitors too. Not everyone likes dogs around them and I don't except others to love my dogs like I do. It makes for a much more relaxing time for everyone involved :)

  3. I have neighbours either side that both had sick dogs from eating a poisoned rat. One was only in overnight, the other needed vet care for days.

    I use a bait made by Bayer called Racumin. It kills by a build up effect so the risk of secondary poisoning is virtually nil. There is no way I'd use the more hardcore baits, Tom Cat etc. My dogs will often find already dead rats/mice etc and eat them. The farm cats also like to kill and eat dead rodents.

  4. When I was a kid, my sister and I went around knocking on doors offering to wash people's dogs for some pocket money. We brought all the dogs back to our place, tied them to the balcony rail and washed them with hoses. We had about six tied up there at once.

    Miraculously there was not a single incident!

    I am also kind of amazed that people let us do it, especially as we were taking the dogs back to our place!

    Yep, I used to do this too. Take the dogs home, tie them up and wash the poor things with a hose and sunlight soap :laugh: I also used to walk peoples dogs for them, I wouldn't have been more than 12. I had a regular GSD, Dally, Keeshonds etc. There is NO way I'd allow my daughter to do that. Times have certainly changed! :laugh:

  5. The Muscovys have the red caruncles on their face which makes them easy to distinguish.

    I'd love to be able to say I could take it but can't risk a drake and really don't need more duckies :(

    Perhaps a local vet might be able to help?

    Porsche's Rescue? One of my Pekins was from her. If you contact her she might be able to put a call out on her page for someone to help catch the duck?

  6. Cleaning up? That's a bit of a hoarder tactic anyway. They get 'rescue' volunteers in but they end up just being enabling. Very few animals leave and more come in.

    I'm so sorry Clyde :cry: you must be heartbroken.

    Yeah, I'm just feeling angry now. The breed is now classed as a rare breed. So I handed them over believing she'd care for them but also go on with them. Filthy little waste of space she is.

    I don't even like foxes, but that fox in that tiny pen is a disgrace.

    I reckon she is seeing that Dane as a money spinner come maturity.

  7. Mmz KieraLee

    google search will take you from there if you add her real name ;-)

    :eek::cry: Oh No! I didn't know it was her! I've sold her birds before :( They were gorgeous hand raised Orpingtons. She is on all my local FB pages. She was going to take one last bird but then I noticed she was always taking on animals so I didn't follow it up as I worried she was onselling what I had already given her. I feel sick now thinking about how my beautiful, hand reared babies have been living. She seemed nice enough when we met.

  8. I have good fencing, also electric wire running along the inside but still needed a containment system for one of my dogs. I chose Hidden Fence after researching a lot of them and had them install it for me too, have been very happy with it. It was about $1k supplied/installed for a one acre yard. http://www.hiddenfence.com.au/ You can buy the system and install it yourself though.
