Tim & Tanya Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Wow JJ you are full of info, someone did say to me the other day they wonder what was happening over at Clive Peeters as there was movement... I used to go to Petstock but go to the greyhound shop (not sure of it's actual name)... The lady there is so friendly, and their prices are great compared to pet stock...

tlc Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 (edited) Prime is a great shop and reasonably priced stuff as well. For me it was the lack of service or should I say friendly service in PS as well as nothing much to look at. Spoilt by all the bigger pet shops I have been to of late. :laugh: A couple of weeks ago when I went to visit Lee in Bacchus Marsh we went to Werribe and there is 3 massive big pet shops plus pets direct which we didnt bother with and also pet stock, we didnt go there either. We had a great time in these shops so much awesome stuff to check out. Edited February 25, 2012 by tlc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerojath Posted January 29, 2012 Author Share Posted January 29, 2012 QUOTE: "Also about pet shop I thought it was strange that a lady who ran a shop like that would breed BCs and sell them off not even vaccinated. I think she also bred a lot of the birds she was selling too?" Oh really? I didn't know that. I guess the fact you run a Pet Store doesn't necessarily make you responsible or knowledgeable. I like Prime too.... pretty restricted range, but there is quite a lot in there I do buy, especially when I have a litter in the house. I find it's not worth me buying wholesale for the odd item I need, so I go to Prime mostly. Off topic, but relating to what we were discussing about local businesses... I noticed today that the Thai Massage place (next to the dog groomers on Fairy St) has just moved to Lava Street, next to the Butchers.... I can't for the life of me think who WAS in that shop! Anyone remember??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlc Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 I was in that butchers the other day and I have no clue what was next door, I am so not observant! :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim & Tanya Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Oh is that the massage place from Fairy St, I just thought it was a new one... Don't really think there was an actual shop there, think it was where you went an enquired about Principal the new retirement village over our way... Have you seen the massage place next to the new Woolworths also, very cheap but have been told they are a tad touchy feely with their bodies...

It was like a "buy of the plan" office, but I can't think who was in there before that. Doesn't matter anyway I guess! :laugh: Mmmmmm! I'm liking the sound of the new Massage place..... give them a try! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tlc Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 First day back at obedience yesterday so I thought I would go and take lacy, I am not instructing any more just joining in for the time being, not sure if I will go back to it yet or not. At this stage it a probably not, anyway just wanted to say they have a guy there who has a Puli, and how cute they are! He is 8 months old, and a ball of fluff, I have never seen one in real life before, he is just starting to get cords in his coat. He was absolutely full on, jumping around, barking just really playful, lacy took one look at him and started growling, she just couldn't even figure out what he was all about, it was so funny. :laugh: All he wanted to do was play and he had no manners what so ever, right in your face kind of thing and lacy was not impressed to have a dog with no manners trying to invade her space. Whats everyone else been up too? Jj has snap arrived yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whats everyone else been up too? Jj has snap arrived yet? Sounds like a very typical Puli puppy to me! :laugh: No, Snap hasn't arrived yet.... just waiting on Northern Territory export papers to be processed, then we can arrange shipping. I'm hoping this will happen over the next week, but where NT is concerned.... who knows! BUT!!! I DID buy myself another little pressie this week.... I finally found an "on-licence" Red-Bellied Black Snake. We have named him Elmo. :) We received our import/export papers for him in the mail today, so as soon as the seller in South Australia receives theirs, we'll be good to go! Anyone travelling back from Adelaide next week who can transport a venomous snake????? ;) Here's a pic of little Elmo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlc Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 little Elmo looks freaking scary, not sure if it only due to the fact that i know he is venomous. :laugh: you are a very brave man!! Will you be able to handle this one and will you?? What if you get bit? do you have to have anti venom on hand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tlc Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 When you handle him do you have any protection like gloves or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerojath Posted February 6, 2012 Author Share Posted February 6, 2012 (edited) When you handle him do you have any protection like gloves or something? No, I just hold them by the tail and use a hook with venomous snakes and try to keep their head away from me. Red-Bellied Black Snakes aren't too bad anyway... you'd be very unlucky to die from a bite from one of these guys! Here's a pic I just took of Elizabeth our Northern Bluetongue who we had sent down from Cairns recently. She has a belly-full of little arms and legs right now. She has been moved in to the Nursery from this point on. Unfortunately we had another Bluetongue give birth during the night when we had those big winds and rain... we lost the whole litter. We try and keep our lizards in an environment as close to their natural habitats as possible, and this includes minimal interference, but sometimes you wish you had interfered just a little bit. Taking no chances with this big girl though! She was mated to another Northern Bluetongue from the same locality, so we are expecting some amazing looking babies from this pairing! Will post some pics when they arrive. We also have Ros, a Blotched Bluetongue, inside in the Nursery as she is due any day now.... busy days ahead!

tlc Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Wow Elizabeth looks like a real beauty.. Will look forward to bubba pictures.. Sad about the babies dying, I can imagine it would be difficult trying to intervene and not really knowing if you're making things better results worse....

RuralPug Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Anyone travelling back from Adelaide next week who can transport a venomous snake????? ;) JJ, I am so NOT volunteering to transport a venomous one!! Good luck with that! You will probably end up going yourself. I did Mt Barker (in the Adelaide Hills) and back in a single day not so long ago and I start out much further east than you so it is doable, just so you know! Started 5.30 am was back by midnight, would be a doddle for you!;) Advance notice people....the BBQ at the Dog show at the Friendlies is on again on Saturday 25th Feb.....

Monkey terriers? Do you mean affies? Or griffs? They both qualify for that title in my book! Not all of us socialising at the BBQ will be showing, in fact those entered on the day may well be in the minority! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
