Golden Rules Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Well obedience went quite well... Although we somehow ended up in a youngens class... Hemi and my sisters dog are 14months and the closest other pup was 12m, and then it went downhill from there... the average age was about 5-6m... Hemi was a good boy, altho he seemed to bore quite quickly (he knows how to sit and drop, where most in the class are really starting from scratch) We are in a puppy class (well, beginners class, there are four classes because there are so many beginners!) Anyway, at least a third of the dogs in all of the beginner classes are older dogs, not puppies (although obedience training is a great place to go to get puppy cuddles I tell ya! ) and will all get moved up quickly. We were told last night that we will be moved up to the next class next week will need to get practising! My Paddle Pop does not like doing anything unless he can see a treat in my hand. He is stubborn little bugger when he wants to be so we really need to stick at this obedience thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loopy Lola Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Regarding the fires in Perth - would it be ok to put up a link for MDBA Pacers on facebook does anyone think???Ive been trying to think how I could help, and being 3 hours south of Perth feel totally useless.....Have been thinking about all those poor animals all day, and their distressed owners!!! Anyone collecting for them?? Money or stuff?? Think I may visit BP&G in Bunbury tomorrow and see if they are collecting donations :D My heart goes out to all those affected and their families Our rescue group is taking out a ute load of cat and dog biscuit to the Armadale evacuation centre which has apparently allowed people to take pets in with them ....... lucky we just got in a big donation of food Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was good. But it was really just Australian animals and cute penguins I hope you did well at the interview!
