No clue, the manager said they look at it as if your coming in to get your free replacement toys than odds are your going to buy other things as well and become a reg shopper.Alucrid said:How does that work? :lol

I think she has bear DNA in there somewhere.
Aww!! Had a Keeshond growing up but never got to see her that small!! She was older than me, and was an amazing dog until we had to put her to sleep when I was 10. She reminds me so much of my female shiba inu, in looks and in behavior, both nervous and too smart, too aware of everything going on around them. :lolHawkian said:Awesome thread

Westie heads south: dog swims 4k to play with sea lion
November 18, 2010 - 4:59PM
A dog has had a lucky escape off an Adelaide beach after befriending a friendly local sea lion and following him four kilometres offshore.
The dog's owner raised the alarm after "Westie" chased the sea lion, known as "Henry", into the surf off Semaphore Beach and kept going.
Semaphore Surf Lifesaving Club captain Craig Van Tenac got the call and began the search.
"I headed down to the club and within about 15 minutes of the call-out we had the inflatable in the water" Mr Van Tenac said.
Mr Van Tenac and a fellow club member began a search pattern from where the energetic kelpie was last spotted, zig-zagging about 500 metres along the beach as they headed out to sea.
"He'd been out there for an hour ... we weren't expecting to find him at all, but we just kept going to make sure," he said.
"Just when we were thinking about giving up, we spotted him - four kilometres is very far out.
"Very rarely would we ever get out that far."
Luckily for Westie and his grateful owner, the rescuers continued the search on this occasion and found dog and sea lion playing happily out beyond the surf.
"They were both fine, they were just playing around in the water," Mr Van Tenac said.
"Its lucky for the dog that Henry was in a good mood."
Mr Van Tenac said the situation was rare as sea lions usually don't go onto the beach, but if Henry does return looking for his new friend it's unlikely he'll find Westie off the leash next time.

Super sorry to hear that. Losing a pet is one of the shittiest feelings in the world.
Wolf said:Anyone have any exp with gentle leaders? Been thinking about picking one up to help out with what's becoming more and more tugging on the walks with Wolf.
I can handle it but my girlfriend is starting to feel pain in her shoulder from all the random arm pulls by Wolf.
He's now 10 months old and just has too much confidence for his own good, he thinks he owns the world and will try to dart in any one direction every now and then while walking.
Going to buy one tonight and see If that detours him in any way.

A Lab or Beagle should be fine.mrklaw said:any thoughts as to a good first dog for a family with kids? My youngest is 6 and would love a pet. I grew up in a house with a dog and would like to consider it for us. Ideally something that doesn't need too much space (we only have a small garden) and isn't too boisterous.
ours were always mixed/mongrels so I'm not sure about good breeds to consider.
