10 Pet Peeves That Dogs Hate About Humans

Monday, February 14th, 2011

#1 – Blaming your farts on me….. not funny… not funny at all!

#2 – Yelling at me for barking. I’M A DAMN DOG.

#3 – Taking me for a walk, then not letting me check stuff out. Exactly whose walk is this anyway?

#4 – Any trick that involves balancing food on my nose. Stop it!

#5 – Any haircut that involves bows or ribbons. Now you know why we chew your stuff up when you’re not home.

#6 – The sleight of hand, fake fetch throw. You fooled a dog! Whoooo Hoooooooo what a proud moment for the top of the food chain.

#7 – Taking me to the vet for ‘the big snip’, then acting surprised when I freak out every time we go back!

#8 – Getting upset when I sniff the crotches of your guests. Sorry, but I haven’t quite mastered that handshake thing yet.

#9 – Dog sweaters. Hello? Haven’t you noticed the fur?

#10 – How you act disgusted when I lick myself. Look, we both know the truth. You’re just jealous.

Now lay off me on some of these things. We both know who’s boss here! You don’t see me picking up your poop do you?

Sun Shines on Winter Warmer BBQ

Thursday, August 19th, 2010
Double Bay Vet BBQ

Busy BBQ

The weather couldn’t have been better for the Double Bay Vet Practice BBQ on Saturday with clients flocking to the practice. Bathed in sunshine were a playful bunch of dogs, clients and face painted kids in fancy dress.

I don’t know about you, but I’m always a little nervous before an event like this, especially as we’d put a lot of effort into the build up. It can feel like a great opportunity to embarrass yourself if no one shows up. So at five past three, when we had cooked a lot of sausages in preparation for the rush, but no-one was there yet, I’ll admit to a little pang of concern.

I needn’t have worried, because five minutes later we were overwhelmed by a seemingly endless surge of clients and dogs hungry for a good feed! And a good feed they got. Hungry bellies were soon swollen with dog burgers cooked by Dave and regular human fodder cooked by Shane.

Michelle from Fairy Wishes was having her work cut out to keep up with demand for her excellent face painting services as a throng of youngsters in fancy dress were soon transformed into cats, dogs and butterflies.

Meanwhile nurses Sam and Olivia were keeping everyone happy with a regular clutch of goodies from the raffle, with lucky winners scooping prizes that included $50 Myer vouchers and hampers stuffed with goodies for cats and dogs.

The point of the occasion was to highlight our Facebook and Twitter pages plus the new website. But it was also just an opportunity to say thanks to all of our fabulous clients and their pets.

You can check out the photos on our Facebook fan page here.  Plus in response to popular demand we’ve published Dr. Dave’s doggie burger recipe here. Enjoy!

A huge thank you to all of you who joined the fun and to our generous sponsors Virbac, Hill’s, Bayer, Provet and Boehringer Ingelheim. Each of which made a generous contribution of prizes, equipment or time (or all of the above) to the event.

We look forward to the next BBQ in summer. Next up is our Tick Talk Countdown to Tick Season client information evening to be held on Tuesday 24th August at the Golden Sheaf Hotel.
