Accepted word for female dog - classic

The C word is still a bit rough Uncle to be fair.

But I’ve struck a few in my time.

This is Vernon. He is a rescue dog so we inherited his name.

My wife and I have had dogs all our married life. Out first was Lovie named after Brett Lovett.

Vernon is 17 and is partially deaf and blind. He knows the time however. He never misses dinner time and walk time.

He gets walked up and down Collins street every night. His favorite nights are Thursday and Friday when the office girls come out of the pubs. He loves the attention.

A beautiful dog.

I think it's time to check the qualifications of your chicken sexer WCW !

How do you sex a chicken ................... I can't believe I asked that!

 

Bear has an emotional support Melbourne blanket that he sleeps with. Occasionally he brings it to the living room to inform me that he’s feeling distressed…. This was him earlier today when I informed him dinner time was still an hour away

I grew up with calves on a hobby farm.  These guys are the best and they all have their own personalities.

Gentle giants!  Nice one RM

What a beauty.  They're super cluey Jaded that's for sure.  Also know how to get their way haha.

Mine often grabs his blanket and heads down to the bedroom with it without being asked.

If he cant find it he just looks at me  from the corridor and growls under his breath if it's past his bedtime (10pm ish) lol.

Bit like having a very intelligent but manipulative fury baby on four legs.

You have to look at their cloaca as soon as they hatch ie, before they take their first poo. The cloaca has a tiny pimple if it’s a boy but this disappears after the first poo. If you miss that you have to feather-sex them when they’re a couple of months old and this isn’t always accurate.

Feather-sexing is easier than the cloaca method but not as reliable. There’s a row of feathers beneath the wing and these particular feathers are a couple of millimetres shorter than the rest of the wing feathers and that’s supposed to determine the gender.

The surefire way of knowing is to wait until an egg is laid or crowing begins, and with the crowing there’s also aggression. But… egg laying is the only guaranteed way of knowing. I say this because we once had two Polish Frizzle babies. One was small and sweet-natured, textbook hen. The other was huge and aggressive and crowed, albeit relatively quietly. Textbook rooster… until she lay an egg. The biggest butchest hen I’ve ever seen.

And that’s how you sex a chicken. Bet you’re sorry you asked. 😊

Oh they are so smart and so sensitive. 
When I got Covid and I was really sick he wouldn’t leave my side. He also would lay on my chest and it was the only thing that would stop me from coughing.

100% Jaded...our bestest friends with loyalty beyond question.  Hard to put the connection into words really.  It's something quite spiritual.

A little like what draws us to follow the mighty Demons!  It's in the soul.

This is my attempt to redact this statement in the interest of BBO's welfare.

Look away Uncle.... look away!

Sinbad doesn't like footy much, as whenever I get even slightly animated he goes and hides.

Our dogs have always been a huge part of the family. I have no doubt they give kids skills, attributes and responsibilities only they can teach.

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
