24.01.2022 Oh Pesty!! I’ll never forget this day! #TheChunks #Pesty #thedodo

23.01.2022 There have been multiple sightings of brown snakes in Adelaide in the last couple of weeks! Make sure you keep your grass short and your yards free of any rubbi...sh or items that snakes can hide in. If you see your pet playing with a snake or if you notice any of the following symptoms it is a medical emergency, so please take your pet to the nearest Veterinary Clinic or hospital as soon as possible Symptoms of a snake bite are:

23.01.2022 ***INDOOR CAT OR OUTDOOR CAT*** From first time kitten owners to seasoned cat companions, cat owners are divided whether or not cats should be allowed outdoors.... Traditional beliefs that cats need freedom to roam are fading in the light of statistics that indicate the indoor cats have a longer life span and better health. Deciding whether or not a cat should be an indoors or outdoors animal is up to individual owners but the pros and cons provide substantial evidence toward indoor cats. Statistics indicate that the life span of an indoor cat is much longer than an outdoor cat. On average, an indoor cat lives twelve years but some cats can live for as many as twenty years. In comparison, an outdoor cat’s life expectancy is less than five years. The pros of keeping a cat indoors outnumber the cons of an indoor cat. Most are directly related to the health and safety of the cat. *The first valid reason to make a cat an indoor pet is traffic. Busy highways, roads, suburban streets and country lanes all present a life-threatening danger for cats. One accident can be fatal or cause serious injuries. *Indoor cats are not exposed to the host of poisons that many outdoors cats encounter. Pesticides, home garden products, car and motor products, discarded trash, spoiled foods, poisonous plants and intentional poisonings are among the poisoning dangers for cats that roam. *Danger of contracting an infectious disease rises for the outdoor cat. Many feline diseases including Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) and Feline Leukemia (FeLV) are transmitted from an infected cat to another. Cats who roam at will encounter other cats and can contract either of these fatal diseases. Free roaming cats often encounter problems with other cats in the area and abscesses as a result of a cat fight are ailment veterinarians see on a regular basis. These are painful to the cat and can cost up to several hundred dollars to fix. A host of other infectious diseases thrive in the outdoor environment and among cats that may not have been vaccinated. *Parasites are another health issue for outdoor cats. Fleas are prevalent through the world and can be carriers for disease. Some diseases can be transmitted to cat owners. In Australia, paralysis ticks can infect cats and if not treated ticks can kill. Ringworm (which is in fact a fungus, not a worm) is another disease that can adversely affect a cat’s health as well as pass to human members of the same household. While not deadly, ringworm can be quite hard to eradicate in the cat and prevention is better than cure. *Outdoor cats face other dangers. Dogs and wild animals such as possums and snakes often prey on cats that wander into the wrong territory. Australia has the deadliest snakes in the world, and can quite easily kill a cat. Cruel and sadistic individuals sometimes kill defenceless cats for sport or pleasure. *Outdoors cats are more prone to becoming lost. Less than 5% of cats taken to animal shelters are reclaimed by owners. All outdoor cats should wear either safety collars with identifying information. However collars often become lost. Microchipping is the only permanent way to identify a cat. Theft of animals to be used as lab animals, for the illegal fur trade or in satanic rites is another threat for outdoor cats. *Neighbours who object to a roaming cat who may defecate or urinate in a flower bed or vegetable garden are another problem solved with indoor cats. Neighborhood spats often arise from issues involving cats if a cat lives indoors, then the potential for neighbour trouble is diminished. *Australia is one of the leading countries in the world for skin cancer. Cats are also susceptible to skin cancer. If you allow your cats to free roam, or have them in the safety of an enclosure it is important to be aware of this and offer the cat protection from the sun. Many people who build enclosures have a shaded area where the cats can enjoy the outdoors without the constant exposure of the sun. *Cat owners should also consider that indoor cats are healthier, often happier, and live much longer than outdoors cats allowed the freedom to roam. However, if you absolutely must allow your cat to roam outside it is important to ensure the cat is brought indoors from dusk to dawn. This is when our native fauna is at it's most vulnerable to cats. Many councils in Australia now have regulations in place for roaming cats, so it's important to ensure that you check with your local council for their rules pertaining to outdoor cats. Traditional views that cats require the freedom to roam outdoors have few pros. The belief that indoor cats tend to be lazy and overweight is not true and can be combated with scheduled play times. Outdoor cat enthusiasts claim cats love the outdoors, which is often true, but the dangers outweigh the benefits. The same cat owners who promote the outdoors often insist that cats deserve their freedom. Such views, however, are outdated and outranked by most animal professionals. The majority of veterinarians believe cats should be indoor pets. So do members of most Humane Societies and animal protection societies. Dangers to an outdoor cat far outweigh any benefits and responsible cat owners are urged to do what is best for the cat. Compromising: Cat owners uncertain about keeping a pet indoors can give their cat the best of both worlds by offering outdoor experiences in controlled situations. Contrary to what most cat owners may think, it is possible to train a cat to a leash and harness. It is easier to train a kitten or young cat but all cats can be leash trained. This allows cats to be walked in the same manner as many dogs and offers outdoor exercise beneficial for both cat and owner. Perhaps the best solution of all is a cat enclosure where cats can enjoy the outdoors in a safe environment. Many companies manufacture cat enclosures but cat owners can also create their own. A cat enclosure is simply an enclosed area that offers protection and keeps the cat from wandering away. An ideal cat enclosure will contain enough space to move, climbing options, and a resting area. A shady area is best so that the cat can enjoy fresh area even on the warmest days. Every cat enclosure should be covered with material that can’t be breached by the cat. Nylon mesh and chicken wire are two of the most inexpensive, effective options. Concerns about formerly outdoor cats adapting to indoor life are valid but a cat enclosure often solves this potential problem. www.cat-world.com.au/indoor-vs-outdoor-cats

20.01.2022 Every time Archie takes a ringworm bath, I sing him this song. Now to answer some frequently asked questions! 1) Archie is taking a bath using a medicated sha...mpoo with ketoconazole & chlorhexadine, which is prescribed by a veterinarian. It has to stay on for 10 minutes before rinsing, which is why I have written him a little song to comfort him and pass the time. 2) Yes, his ringworm is improving! But no, it is not gone yet. 3) Archie will remain quarantined for as long as he still has ringwormwe just have to wait and see and I cannot give a specific timeline. It’s all about how long it takes him to kick this fungus, which varies from animal to animal. Today is day 5 of oral medication which should help, but it will still be a while, so please don’t expect him to be cured overnight! In the timeless words of The Smiths: these things take time.

18.01.2022 Traditional discipline methods only deal with the surface behaviour....this is why popular ‘quick fix’ parenting techniques involving punishments, praise, ignor...ing behaviour and rewards/bribes are so ineffective! (And potentially damaging). To change the behaviour you must work with the root cause....and the only way to do that is to work collaboratively with the child, to identify and solve problems together. This is why I always focus on the causes of the behaviour, not just reacting to the behaviour itself. Read more here: https://sarahockwell-smith.com//the-two-most-important-st/ @tinybuddha

17.01.2022 **URGENT HELP IS NEEDED** We have recently been made aware of an application for the development of two massive breeding kennels in South Australia! The...se two applications are for containment of up to THREE HUNDRED.....YES.......300 BREEDING DOGS!!!! These applications are currently open for public review and we NEED your help to oppose the applications for development! But we only have until 4pm AEDT on THIS WEDNESDAY 11th November 2020 to get all the emails in! ****WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP***** 1. Send an email to [email protected] 2. You MUST title the email "Objection to Development Applications 312/311/2020 and 312/353/2020" 3. You can either copy and paste the email we have drafted below and in the comments, or tell them in your own words why you don't want ANOTHER puppy factory being built. 4. Sign off with your FULL NAME - we want the council to know that these are genuine emails of concern and opposition to the development. We only have two days to get as many submissions as we can in to let the Adelaide Plains Council know that we do not want another puppy factory making dogs lives miserable! Should you wish to view these applications they can be found at https://www.apc.sa.gov.au//applications-on-public-notifica COPY AND PASTE THE BELOW TEXT INTO AN EMAIL TO [email protected] Dear Mr Jacks, I am writing to you to express my objection to the following planned development applications that have been lodged with the Adelaide Plains Council: 312/311/2020 and 312/353/2020 I note that these applications are for the construction of 114 dog kennels with the aim of containing up to 300 dogs combined, along with construction of detached dwellings. I am sure you are an animal lover yourself so would understand that dogs are companion animals and need positive and regular human interaction in order to thrive - they should never be kept in cages like those proposed and forced to live in the elements - especially the extreme temperatures that are experienced in Two Wells where these developments are intended. I object to these developments for a number of reasons: 1. These developments are the definition of Puppy Factory Farming - the clear intention of these developments is to breed dogs in huge number for financial gain. I know of no ethical dog breeder who would even consider breeding this huge amount of dogs as they wouldn't possibly be able to care adequately for them all. 2. Puppy Farmed dogs are very often denied adequate food, water, shelter and bedding. Their veterinary needs are also often disregarded. Their mental health and stimulation is almost always disregarded, and with such a huge number of breeding dogs they will be deprived of companionship, positive social interaction and adequate physical exercise. 3. There are already am excess amount of dogs available in South Australia, with the RSPCA, AWL and the hundreds of smaller rescue organisations finding themselves full to the brim with perfectly adoptable dogs. The proposal of breeding more dogs in such an intensive manner is only going to contribute to the already massive issue at hand. Tens of thousands of dogs are euthanased each year in Australia as a result of over breeding, which is absolutely disgraceful and should not be allowed to happen. I firmly believe these proposed developments will only contribute to this ever growing problem. 4. The breeds that are commonly found in puppy factories are often the breeds with the highest care requirements and largest number of health problems. Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, French Bulldogs, Pugs, Poodles, British Bulldogs etc etc are commonly found in puppy factories and often live a life a life of misery as a result of inadequate breeding research and veterinary care. 5. The puppies that are born in puppy factories can be prone to behavioural and medical issues later in life due to poor social interaction and vet care,and have a very good chance of ending up in a shelter as a result. However, the breeding dogs that are used and abused season after season are the ones that suffer most - kept in the same cage their whole life with nothing but misery and their puppies get taken away from them before they are forcibly impregnated again and again. This is no life,it is pure misery. And with the numbers being proposed in these development applications I am seriously concerned that the basic needs of the dogs will be completely neglected. Please consider my opposition to these developments seriously. I know puppy factories aren't illegal, but I also know they are not ethical. As an animal lover and owner I vehemently oppose these two developments and would prefer the council encourage ethical dog rescue and rehoming instead. Kind Regards,

15.01.2022 Thanks for the add!

09.01.2022 Our heartfelt sympathies go out to Dio's family on learning of their tragic loss. RIP beautiful Our beautiful boy Dio has been laid to rest today. Thank you... all so much for your support, our angel must have heard you. Dio escaped whomever took him last night. Like a true loyal family member he went looking for his pack. Against all odds Dio made it back to the holiday house we had been staying, only to succumb to heat exhaustion and pass on. His heroics allowed us to claim the body, and for Dee to say one last goodbye. RIP to my best friend. Sending Dee all the prayers for strength as she grieves. One Love Dio forever

09.01.2022 This. Is. Perfection. I was thoroughly impressed with the setup Charlie's mom put at the door to help Charlie get used to strangers arriving at and coming in...to his home. (It's laminated AND there is an attached soap dish treat dispenser... I mean, come on, talk about some dedication!!) We ask clients to put up signs and outside treat stations for a variety reasons such as jumping up or barking. Extra measures like this can make a huge difference by changing training from reactive to PROactive: setting the dog up for success!

04.01.2022 Hi everyone, I know it’s been a while since we have post on Franks page. Why? Because every time I try to write a post it genuinely destroys me. Frank is STILL... missing and if I’m being honest each day just gets harder. It’s incredibly painful watching other people able to love their fur babies whilst I have no idea where in the world my little man is, or if he’s okay. Dogs spend all day waiting for their human to get home and Frank is out there still waiting for me. Please help bring us back together. Frank didn’t go missing, he was stolen. We are still offering a reward for his safe and prompt return - no questions asked. We’ll never stop looking and I pray that you don’t either. Please keep sharing franks story. Nothing will ever be the same without him. Stolen from Logan Reserve 02.02.2019 French Bulldog (Frank) Male - Not Desexed Fawn Pied colouring Please contact 0433380482, if you know anything.
