About Rhonda

Hi, I believe if everyone did just one little thing to better this world everyday, the impact would be ten fold. My little thing is to educate people on the proper care for their domestic pets. To properly look after the ones we have and not keep breeding unwanted puppies, kittens and budgies etc, To me, it's a very BIG little thing!

Farewell to Simba and Jack

Two weeks ago I received a phone call from a very good client saying the time had come and they needed to look for a home for their crazy cocker spaniel Jack and they would then let their old boy Simba go to doggy heaven. There had been some changes in their household and it just wasn’t working for them. Where to begin -  I had exhausted my list of clients that may or may not have needed/wanted another dog.  So I checked out Cocker Spaniel Rescue Me site and registered Jack and a photo etc, with in a day I was inundated with inquiries. After a lot of emails, phone calls and an extremely long hot crazy trip to the airport to meet a prospective new mum in between flights we found the perfect couple. They were not only happy to take the wild child Jack  but also wanted Simba as well ,wow.

The boys flew out to Townsville (there new forever home) today.I would like to wish them and their new carers all the best and I will miss them terrible.

Choosing the right Flea Control

The choices available today for flea control are numerous and can be a bit confusing. In general all dogs should be treated for fleas monthly, heart wormed monthly (or yearly injection by Vet) and intestinal wormed every 3 months (there again if this is not included in there flea control). Three products will give protection for paralysis ticks but only if used fortnightly. There are tick collars on the market and must be replaced every 2 months. Four products cover intestinal worms but only two of those cover for all 4 intestinal worms, tapeworm. This is the worm transmitted by fleas, so if your pet does by any chance have a flea infestation then they should also be treated for tape worm which is covered by an all wormer product. Now if you didn’t quite get all that above this handy little chart may be of some help in deciding which products to apply. And another handy tip is dogs suffering from flea allergies should use a product that is specifically  for fleas – ones that knock down adult fleas straight away. Or this may have confused you even more if so just give me a call and I would be happy to help.

WHO IS GOING TO BE NEXT

Hi everyone,  just a little late as usual,

If you would like to see your best friend featured in the monthly ad all you have to do is email your best /worst or funniest piccy of pooch. Or if you aren’t able to get a photo you could tell me a funny story and we could add one of the bath club photo’s that I have. Either way get clicking or writing and lets see what great new ad we can have next month.

p.s.   and even if you don’t make the monthly ad , all entries will be posted so we can see all the good work everyone has done

I would like to say sorry to all Nara’s family and friends , who could not find her in the Christmas dogs 2010 page and will endeavor to get her in the right spot soon.

cheers Ronnie

Happy New Year 2011

Hi everyone and welcome to 2011.

I hope everyone had a good festive break and made the most of our beautiful Queensland weather. My family visiting from NZ and myself certainly made the most of our 2.5 days of almost sunshine. Upside, didn’t have to worry about reapplying the sun block. Downside, the Qld flood victims – my heart goes out to them as I am sure does everyones.

I have finally uploaded everyone’s xmas bath photos, so I hope you have been able to scroll through the long list and find your beloved friend and view a few of their car buddies at the same time. Sorry it took so long, but the pictures where taken on a 8 meg camera, making the files quite large and my computer to freeze up constantly. All good fun.

Unfortunately there are a few of our beautiful Bath Club members that didn’t quite make it through to 2011 and I would like to send out love and hugs to all those families.

R.I.P

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all my clients  – old and new – for their support over the past year and look forward to more fun times through out 2011
