pianoswirly1 @pianoswirly1 (83) • Australia 6 Feb 07

Shamefully, dogs (and other animals) are becoming accessory animals. People are giving them fashionable haircuts and buying them designer clothes and 'jewelry'. And why carry your dog in a dag, when (s)he can enjoy the sights,...

pianoswirly1 I never said it makes dogs unhappy. I have been watching my sister and 'her' dog for two years. She seems to think that an appropriate substitute for a walk is to buy a diamonte 'J' for her collar, and then goes around and tries to tell us that she is being a...

You are never "good enough" to to go without your helmet

pianoswirly1 @pianoswirly1 (83) • Australia 2 Feb 07

A number of the people who ride horses around me seem to have the opinion that they are too good to fall of, and so they never wear their helmet. This I think is especially stupid, as they are riding primarily on roads. I put my...

pianoswirly1 Good on you! It's a pity the law doesn't extend to adults too, but at least it's a start. The property I agist my horse on requires you to wear a helmet anytime you are on a horse, anywhere on the property. It of course does not extend to the road and other...

pianoswirly1 Thanks. We have an assortment of old cutlery, and some of them would be likely to discolour the eggs. I was a bit worried that I wasn't feeding them properly!

Global warming, excessive energy consumption

pianoswirly1 @pianoswirly1 (83) • Australia 2 Feb 07

Anyone have issues with thier dogs fighting?

kerjostalit @kerjostalit (196) • United States 31 Jan 07

I have 4 dogs and my two male dogs have gotten into 3 bad fights. They are both neutered and my girls are both spayed. The last fight that happened caused my little one to get 5 stitches and a drainage tube put in. We have not...

pianoswirly1 I think you are best to keep your hands out of the situation. You are likely to get an accidental bite!

Horse training principles

pianoswirly1 @pianoswirly1 (83) • Australia 1 Feb 07

Lately I've been observing the horse industry and there is a huge lack of knowledge in how to deal with horses. There is often no 'give' for a positive response, and even more often a give for a negative response, which reinforces...

pianoswirly1 I live in Australia for a start, and don't have pay TV. But I have been getting a lot of advice from www.horseproblems.com.au. Once I discovered this guy, I realised all the rubbish that goes on! I'd love to officially learn some Parelli, but I've got to save...
