22.01.2022 #fosterfriday We welcome ''Thumper'' into our Puppy Program! Thumper is a Tenterfield Terrier sourced from Gumhaven Kennels and is sponsored by Wendy. ... This gorgeous little puppy is going to a first time Foster Carer who has had a lot of experience with her own pet dogs and she could not be more excited to start her journey! We appreciate all the time and effort that our Foster Carers put in to the pups so that they can one day help a Deaf or hard of hearing owner. If you are interested in fostering a puppy please email [email protected]

22.01.2022 TO THE WAR DOG To the memory of silent footsteps that beside us once did fall We pause but for a moment... and in reverence do recall For the hand that held the leash they served our country well therefore we who do remain will their stories ever tell Some did come home along with us tails held high while others left empty collars and in foreign soil now silently they lie They are forever our guardian angels clad in soft and coloured fur as present now in our hearts as they ever and always were.

20.01.2022 Seasonal activity Seasonal factors impact the behaviour and movement of QFF. An adult fruit fly is highly mobile across the landscape with flight distances and durations becoming progressively shorter as the weather cools in autumn to winter and then lengthening again as the weather warms up after August and September. During the winter months adult flies are no longer looking for partners to mate with or fruit to lay their eggs into.... Over-wintering flies are focussed on surviving the cold by searching for protein, sugar, water and above all, shelter from predators, cold weather and wind. As temperatures increase flies revert to their reproductive mode of seeking protein, mates, fruit to lay eggs into and shelter from predators, the heat and wind. It has been identified that while fruit fly trapping numbers were low in the Goulburn Murray Valley (GMV) region over winter, this was largely due to the fact that traps are not as effective in winter. Vigilance is required all year round to stop the spread of fruit fly. While rain, as a source of water for survival, is not important for QFF at this time of year, rain in autumn and winter generally accompanied warmer than usual days which facilitates a higher level of fly survival. During the March April fruit fly peak, rainfall in the region was consistently higher than average, promoting good fruit-set and maturation, creating ideal conditions both fruit-wise and weather-wise for fruit fly survival and proliferation. If dusk temperatures hit higher than average temperatures, there may be a chance for adult QFF to mate and lay eggs in August which may require earlier than normal fruit inspection, trap deployment and baiting. Good fruit set, whether it be in along roadsides, or in orchards and gardens, has the potential to cause large populations of new generation QFF in late spring and summer unless adequate control measures are undertaken including monitoring of population changes, checking fruit for sting marks, along with orchard and garden hygiene.
