    Dog sales banned for Xmas

    Most people know (or do they?) that many pet shop puppies do not come from responsible breeders (who do all the testing under the sun, screen buyers carefully, often have long waiting lists or conversely, if no suitable prospective owners are waiting, sometimes cancel a breeding). They come...

    Dogs - Love or Hate them?

    The breeding of a particular dog also plays a significant part in its tendency to bite or not. You take a bad breeder who just puts two dogs together (eg. two Labs) with no regard for temperament or anything else, and chances are the pups will display the temperaments inherited from the...

    Dog Shopping

    Dachshunds are not recommended to families with young children because they have zero tolerance for teasing, ear pulling etc. and they will not hesitate to put a child who has annoyed them in his or her place, usually with MOST (not all) dogs you get several warning signals they are going to...

    Dog Shopping

    True, true Mantis- I should have mentioned that heelers are indeed very active and as we think he is crossed with a border collie, he is one boisterous, hyperactive dog, and he is nearly 8- he didn't get his name (Blitzkrieg) because he likes to laze around. :D He hasn't really calmed down much...

    Dog Shopping

    We have a mutt (blue heeler X) and he is the sweetest dog in the world. Smart, friendly, good with people and kids, good with other dogs, doesn't shed much, plenty of character, and he came from the Lost Dogs' Home. Every dog that goes there is evaluated- they don't adopt out dogs with...

    New Medicare proposal?

    Sorry mate! I think I've been in the business for waaay too long. :D

    New Medicare proposal?

    Mobbenfuhrer, I'm not exactly sure, it depends on what your local GP does now (ie. do you pay, co-pay, or get bulk-billed?). The place I work at now charges $43 (ama rate) for a std visit but bulk bills pensioners etc. Another place I worked at charged everyone regardless of any concessions...

    New Medicare proposal?

    The Medicare rebate (currently 25.05 for a std cons item 23) will rise $3 for pensioners/HCC holders, which is the "incentive" for GPs to bulk bill. Everyone else will be charged a co-payment or alternatively an upfront fee (current AMA rate is $43 for item 23) which people can claim most of...

    Saddam - Dead Or Alive ?

    He's in the Bahamas with JFK, Marilyn Monroe, Elvis and Princess Diana. :p Seriously- how could we tell whether he's dead or alive? The man has so many lookalikes most of us would be hard pressed to tell one from the other. :confused:

    Teenyboppers

    Maybe if we conscripted sk@nks to fight in Iraq there would be more support for the war (well they'd get my vote LOL)...

    Hummm question

    Does anyone think the location (ie. the "from" part of your avatar thingy) "Idiot Nation" is offensive? Another (aussie) board I post at asked me to change this to something less offensive to its members. I did change it, but I am really wondering what about it is so offensive seeing as there...

    A national security clearance...

    A friend of my stepdad's was working for ASIO as a "spy" but this is going back 25 years or so (and he doesn't do it anymore), so probably not much help to you. If you want I can ask him what he had to do to get in. I imagine the whole process is even more stringent now than it was then...

    Ned Kelly says "Its all about oil".

    Re: Re: Re: Ned Kelly says "Its all about oil". But if another factor cited by the US to justify the current conflict is to free the Iraqi people from the tyranny of dictatorship, then what about the oppressed people under Mugabe? :confused:
