Lulu and Yoda The doggies loved the bed.  At first they sniffed it a lot,  but then they hopped in and played.  I cant get them out of it now.  They were snuggled up in it this morning because it was so cold.  Your right it is huge, but they love rolling around and jumping in it so I think it's the right size for them.   Thanks heaps for your help! Biunca THESE GUYS ARE REAL CUTE!

 

Jasper... A REAL DOG ABOUT TOWN!

He is a 1 year old Maltese who lives in Brisbane, with his mum, Amanda.   "Since the day I got Jasper he has been the best companion I could ask for.  Apart from being the cutest dog I have ever seen, he has such a wonderful personality.  He is quite happy to snuggle with me when I take a nap, but loves to play with his toys at other times.  This little guy will play from morning to night!  He has so much energy it is quite amazing.

He is also intelligent and is doing advanced obedience classes at the moment, with the aim of doing Flyball to satisfy his ball obsession.

Jasper lives with 3 other dogs and definitely lives up to the name 'Prince' on his downtown doggy shirt.  Even though he is the smallest dog in the household he is the boss and is so spoilt .  Jasper is definitely a fashionable dog and will willingly wear bows in his hair and the designer shirts he has.  I think he knows how good he looks. I can't imagine my life without this little guy, he is definitely my best friend." 

 

Simba Sinclair

Simba's mum Barbara says...Simba is now 7 months old, full of energy and cuteness. He is very bright and so needs all the stimulation we can give him.  He's extremely good in his Dog Obedience class and our aim is to eventually teach
him Fly Ball since running and fetching is already a game he loves.  We have bells attached to our front door and he rings these (loudly!!!) when he wants to go outside.

Here Simba is showing off his new downtown doggy donut bed! Simba is bred by Z toy poodles. If you are thinking of buying a toy poodle go to this website and see the champions they have bred. http://www.ztoypoodles.com

Downtown Doggy was so impressed with Ztoys we are waiting for a teacup poodle to be the new face of Downtown Doggy. We will keep you posted!

Mr Bean and Pixie

 
When I spotted the cutest puppy in the litter at the Saturday market we had had no intention of adding to the canine population resident in our rainforest retreat.  He was only 4 weeks old but having to be being sold as his human family were camping out and the pups were in danger from hawks.  His mum was a Chihuahua/fox terrier cross and his dad a mini foxie.  He was born on born on Anzac Day so a true Aussie!

 At the time we still had Susie dog - a Chihuahua/foxie cross, aged 14 years and starting to show her age.  Her sister Penny had died in December 1998 and we had decided not to have another dog once Susie died.  Looking at the litter of four darling pups the male pup clamoured to get into our arms.  The pleading puppy eyes sent a message of "please take me home" and we fell in love with the little fluff ball.  Mr. Beau Bean had won our hearts and landed in doggy paradise. 

 His many antics have been a boon as he has given us many a laugh.  Susie dog also enjoyed him and had a lot more life in her and played with him when she felt like getting active.  She died aged 15 in her sleep.

 Mr. Bean at six months almost went to doggy heaven!  Just a few days after having his testicles summarily removed and while still recovering and feeling sore and sorry a nine and a half foot python attacked him.  The snake bit him on the left side and coiled around him so only his tail and nose were visible.  Luckily this occurred on the back verandah under a light.  Hearing a petrified scream we all ran outside.  I grabbed the snake's head and we all uncoiled the snake body off Mr. Bean.  The python would not let go so we had to pry the teeth apart.  The teeth are very sharp and reversed to lock on like fishhooks.  We then took a bleeding hysterical dog inside and treated his wounds and shock.  Luckily he has lived to tell the tale though he was a nervous pooch for many months.

 

"When Danny Boy first saw the bag he played around with it and dragged it all over the place having heaps of fun.

 

I let him do that for a while to get him use to it. Then I enticed him with his favourite dried food and placed it inside the bag that I left on the floor spreading the opening for him to get in. Of course he went straight in and stayed in finishing his favourite food. Everytime I placed a bit of food in the bag I said, "walkies". What  I do now is just put the bag on the floor and say "walkies" and in he goes....still put food in until he get used to me saying "walkies". We go for walks and Danny has no trouble with people. In fact he wants to jump out to greet them. I have to watch him carefully as he is very quick. I use the clasp and lock that on his collar. Danny is a "Papillon" french word meaning" butterfly dog".

           

Max is a 12 week old Shih Tzu and an absolute dynamo. He was born from Australian champion parents and is sure to follow in their pawprints, although he thinks he may well be suited to something more befitting, in the entertainment industry. Perhaps with his good looks and charm he could be a star of stage and screen.

He's a real ham and likes nothing more than to be centre stage. He is adored by everyone that he meets and at the moment is learning how to "high 5" his fans (he can't sign autographs yet).
