    My painting of Ellie

    You can buy them in country ware shops, but I couldn't see myself paying the big dollars they wanted, so I scrounged the op shops for an old frame and made a board to fit, then painted my own.

    My painting of Ellie

    Ahhh, I know I am going to take forever on it, we are in the process of moving and I just can't seem to settle with it if you know what I mean. Painting rocks is done over here in Oz too, and on pieces of wood, old farm tools etc. Looks pretty attractive actually. I will show you what I...

    lab puppy question

    Oh and another tip, I forgot, ask the color of the parents eyes. They should either be hazel or brown...Yellow is a fault and not acceptable.

    Thankyou, for the welcome. Yes Australia is a vast and different world all it's own. We are lucky to not have Rabies here, one of a few countries that don't. I too am not fond of poisoning, this stuff they are using is an anticoagulant, so the poor thing bleeds internaly to death, but they...

    It must sound terrible to you all, killing the rabbits, yes I hate it too, hence the reason I don't put out baits, but the neighbours, well I can't stop them, it is a government run program, they supply the poison to landholders for free. The government is trying to eradicate the rabbits. We...

    I'm new here
