ps spice is growing fast and is still trying to give the cat a hard time but i keep telling spice that mia is a snob and takes no notice of me let alone spice lol.

Hi Tobaroans

Sounds like there is going to be a big Koolie turn out in Queensland...with a few Victorians and NSWalers heading north to meet up with all you banana benders....should be a great event. TJ is getting her camera sorted out so I hope we get a big report and photos. Looking forward to seeing photos of Spice. Hope you have a great time, if it is anything like our days we have had here you will have a ball.

Well the Queensland workshop is over by now...I have only had a brief phone call from our intrepid TJ who with family packed up the truck and trailer and headed north, approximately 1500km to participate. Apparently while we are cool and frosty here in Vic. sunburn was the order of the day.

Would be glad to hear any reports on the weekend and any suggestions on how things could be done to improve.

Putting together report with photos as I write.
But must attend to 30 phone messages, 300 emails a stack of snail mail that could choke the dog.
Rehome some little rescues, we picked up on the way home.
Catch up with a couple more rescues that were waiting in the tray.
And unpack.
great to be home.

Hello Trudy here,
I had the travelling three and many dog stay with us for a few days. Kerrie always gets lost when she comes to our place. This time with Ron and Bethany I was sure NO way could Kerrie get lost. WRONG Kerrie got lost. I had John and Vessana who were looking at geting a Koolie waiting to see the nine travelling with Kerrie and Co. Three hours late and lost again they arrived. The dogs were let out for a pee and a poo some I am sure did two. So then with dogs going every which way, John would point to one ask about it. He had already meet and greeted my four, so watching as they all played and raced about was something to see. That night is was very quite as all dogs went to sleep from the long trip. We were able to go down to our grounds and have a play with the sheep. Great photos were acuired. I had just got a new camera and it was its maiden voyage. So many photos were taken. Kerrie down loaded them to her lap top, so I am sure they will be on show very soon. Wednesday was wet but it would be cooler for the dog to travel, after doing the head count, all dogs present and packed away in their new trailer, the convoy was off, Ron at the helm. Kerrie with map in hand, and Bethany with a dog or two on her lap. I hope to catch up with them again in October and for Pet Expo in November, they are great to have, and a lot of fun to be with.
