The one in the back is a [censored] !!!

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.

  • NON-MFC: Round 07

    Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

  • PREGAME: Richmond

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
