The Camping Trip was short but fun. We camped at the Bjelke Peterson Dam North West of Brisbane. There was wine tasting Cheese Tasting  a visit to the lavender Farm The Dairy Museum. Purchased some VerJuice,Butterscotch Liquior and real Lavender oil and Incense Stick ,cheese . All the Nice stuff . The idea of a Barbie (thats not the doll ) was to tempting .It was  heated up and some steak and Sausages cooked together to eat with the salad and Cheese was yummy.The wine.. Heaven!!.. The nights were cold but in the morning we were visited by the Magpies for breakfast . As usual they do the camp rounds to see what they can gather up food wise . The local people were friendly making it a really nice place to stay  .We also visited Boondooma Dam further west again approx 60kms.As we approached the lookout a mother Kangaroo and her baby were sitting quietly. I was quite surprised as it was really only mid afternoon  We also visited the Aboriginal town of Cherbourg.It was fairly self sufficient town but alcohol restrictions .. I have to say a relaxing trip. It is very dry but the the olives and peanut groves gave a green background..
Hope you enjoy the Photos  

Whale Watching

Well What a day !!

Fantastic . The whales where a bit quiet  no breaching but still a magnificent animal all the same .The masters of the ocean . The Trip over on the Ferry was great and the Resort itself  Beautiful . A very Tiring Day but worth the effort . Please enjoy my Photos and Videos  xx Angela

Pet Sunscreen

Sunsreen for Pets




Having been tweeted the question by a Twitter Friend



@PetDogShop should I put sunscreen on my beagles tum as she sunbathed

The answer was yes. The most prone sun burn spots for our Pets are

Tips of the ears

Tummy

Nose

Recently clipped Pets

Please ensure that the cream is for Pets and does not contain Zinc Dioxide that is Harmful to Pets. There is no need to put over areas that have fur as it is a natural protection .The main benefits is to stop the onset of Tumors or Cancer .

Most sunscreen recommend to apply 20minutes before going out in the sun .This allows the lotion or spray to soak in and not be licked. Also putting sunscreen on your hand and then applying the lotion is good .If the dog is going in and out of water reapply at intervals.



**** sunscreen for cats ******* I have attached the following article http://cats.about.com/b/2008/06/17/safe-sunscreen-for-cats.htm

Consult your vet if any concerns

Happy Doggie sun days xx

Neutering of your Pet

Why Neutering?.

Neutering has many benefits .It stops unwanted pregnancies and also decreases aggression due to androgen or testosterone in the male dog.The operation is generally completed before the puppy is one year old . This gives added benefits to the dog. Neutering is seen as a medical help and behavioral help

Also dogs who have been neutered donot roam and search for females on heat . Dogs can sense an "ON Heat" female from many miles away and respond if  un neutered . The only way to keep a dog when unneutered at this time is chained and for behavioral reasons not fair . The stress is taken away if a dog is neutered .
The concentration side of the neutering is the most important as your dog will respond to your stimuli such as training and commands .They willnot be distracted by Female Hormone

Medical Benefits

No Tumors .
Less prostrate problems
Hernias   in older unneutered dogs

Consult your vet with any questions regarding your puppies operation and recovery time .
