22.01.2022 We're selling these bad boys for $25 each. Is that a costly cookie?! Hint: it is not. Small business is hard work. It's been a tough fortnight for all of us and we've given thought to many of you recently. ... With help from @luluandsis we've created a cookie driver to support local. Every 2-pack of cookies costs $50 and comes with: - A voucher to the value of $50 for one of the small businesses below - A 1:15 chance of winning your furry delinquent a dental scale and polish to the value of $500 Every 6-pack of cookies costs $150 and comes with: - A voucher to the value of $150 for one of the small businesses below - A 1:4 chance of winning your furry delinquent a dental scale and polish to the value of $500 2-packs @barriocc @gather.braddon @theknoxmadeinwatson @intracbr @thecuppingroom @xorestaurant @threemillsbakery @kyo_coffeeproject @redbrick.coffee @clay.coffee @mocanandgg @whobabysu @capitalbrewing @teddypickerscafe @greasemonkeycanberra 6-packs @highroad.cbr @here.wellbeing @barrochford @w.chaco Did I mention these cookies are freaking delicious?

15.01.2022 Is getting a pet mini-pig a good idea? It could be. But mostly it isn't. In our experience mini-pigs belie their name before they reach their first birthday. Sure, they may be mini compared to their commercial counterparts, but 90kg of hog is still a lot to contend with in an urban environment.... There are no true miniature pigs in Australia. Both the Pot-bellied and Kune Kune breeds are inhibited imports into our country. Also, be aware that many local councils will not grant permits for a pig to be kept in a backyard. If you're still passionate about pig acquisition, we suggest you consult this excellent guide http://know.rspca.org.au/Can-pigs-be-kept-as-pets_111.html

10.01.2022 Catch Dr Amanda Keast on ABC radio with host Adrienne Francis every Saturday fortnight at 1040. Amanda has been a practising veterinarian for over 16 years and is always eager to chat with people about their beloved hairy house-tenants. Topics of conversation include borking dogs, narcissistic cats, hens off the lay and other clucking nightmares. ... Phone through on 1300 681 666 with a story or a question!

07.01.2022 Dogs don't have verbal speech, but they ask us questions ALL the time. Sometimes they do this by offering a series of behaviors whilst they wait for a change in our response. Sometimes they do this by vocalising. Sometimes they do this by pestering us with pawing and nudging. And sometimes they sit quietly and look at us. The training method in this video capitalises on the last behavior because it is the one that gives us the time and space to exchange information with our... dogs. Here you can see Grace being taught to be calm and make eye contact ("eyes on me") with her human (whose name is Jordan), to receive a reward. Grace will learn to look to her human, quietly and calmly whenever anything is needed or wanted. This could include rescources, affection, or guidance on how to behave. This last part is super important. Of course it's up to the human to provide clear and reliable signals in a reasonable and kind way. You are your dog's greatest resource. So make sure that you ARE their greatest resource. This way they will develop confidence and you will earn their trust.

04.01.2022 Happy Easter y'all and thank you for helping us to support local. Together we spent $1350 amongst 19 small businesses in Canberra. LuLu & Sis the cookies sold like hotcakes and excited many gustatory cells. Congratulations to Zena the greyhound who won herself a dental scale and polish!... Zena's mum was very, very pleased (Zena was...less pleased).
