Text of the page (random words):
ation of a lab rat as this post is ranty enough as it is p source no doubt some of you are feeling uncomfortable thinking about this well except regarding the first question most people just accept that it is acceptable to harm and kill animals by the thousands in order to test theories that may save the lives of humans maybe the reason people find it so easy to ignore the question regarding the worth of animals lives is because we cannot speak for ourselves there can be no rosa parks of the animal kingdom because animals do not have a voice my human is very uncomfortable with the idea that animals lives are worth less than humans but then again maybe if her daddy had the cancer sickie she would feel differently whoa i digress i better get back on topic because my head feels fuzzy p anyway my human loves to read about different breeds of dogs and borrows all the dog encyclopedias she can get her hands on she devours hundreds of pictures and can tell the difference between a king charles spaniel and a cavalier king charles spaniel by the length of their nose and the difference between a norwich terrier and a norfolk terrier by the shape of their ears she loves dogs of all sizes shapes and colours but the thing she finds most fascinating the thing that brings out her wannabe geneticist tendencies and makes her hyperventilate with excitement i m not kidding is a simple coat colour or should i say pattern blue merle you may think it s silly but until september 2009 my human did not even know this colour existed her life changed forever when she attended the royal melbourne show and met her first australian shepherd she says she felt the earth shift and she stared dazed at the beautiful dog for a good ten minutes before she gathered her wits and asked the owner whether she could touch its speckled coat the dog was a champion it was aloof and focused on its owner in the way working dogs particularly highly trained ones often are it suffered my human s strokes but didn t interact and yet she fell in love imagine her delight when she discovered that the gene which creates the blue merle coat occurs in many different breeds of dogs enjoy rough collie source smooth collie source shetland sheepdog source pitbull they get the gene from their staffy heritage but strangely i couldn t find a picture of a blue merle staffy source poodle source koolie source great dane source pomeranian source dapple dachshund source cardigan welsh corgi source chihuahua source louisiana catahoula leopard dog source border collie source australian cattle dog source australian shepherd source mudi source some breed standards recognize blue merle coat colour while others consider it a defect my human doesn t pay much heed to what kennel clubs consider acceptable after all some clubs require breeders to specifically select for traits that are downright dangerous to the dogs the rhodesian ridgeback s ridge the pug s nose the cavalier s head the german shepherd s hips the shar pei s skin folds the irish wolfhound s huge size the basset s extremely short legs and long back all come to mind however it s worth noting that the gene which creates the blue merle coat and blue or blue and brown eyes can also cause deafness and eye problems so if you have your heart set on a blue merle doggie make sure you find a reputable breeder and make sure that at least one of the parents is not blue merle as both parents being blue merle increases the risk well i hope you ve enjoyed this word and image heavy post to all my blue merle friends out there i m kind of jealous love oscar and the gang posted by oscar the maltese at 11 54 am 6 comments labels dog breeds rant monday january 17 2011 dealing with the heat pt 2 what better way to deal with the summer heat than to go to the beach just last week my humans and i packed various necessities for me a portable waterbowl and hit st kilda beach i love the beach i normally go to offleash beaches a bit further out from the city where there are less people and i can do zoomies to my heart s content but this time we just wanted a quick trip somewhere central on this particular beach there were lots of doggies and people frolicking in the water it was a bit bewildering all i could do was sit close to my towel eyes glued to the action my human said it was like trying to get through to a brick wall i was transfixed it couldn t have been a better day i met some new friends and for the most part i wasn t scared of them i also went into the water what an achievement i was watching other doggies do zoomies in the water and then my human started doing zoomies too and before i knew what had happened i found myself up to my chin in water i didn t drown and no scary creature from the deep swallowed me up so all in all i would consider my beach trip a success p love oscar and the gang posted by oscar the maltese at 1 47 pm 3 comments labels beach oscar summer dealing with the heat pt 1 summer has been really strange in melbourne this year the sun hasn t come out much and it rains most days it s still hot but incredily sticky and as my human eloquently says gross yes i use words like eloquent while my law student human uses words like gross just go with it p it s almost like we re not living in australia at all australia has been in the midst of a terrible drought my whole life and much of my human s life but this year mother nature has turned the tables instead of drought we have floods you may have heard of the floods in brisbane where over a dozen humans have died and thousands have lost their homes and everything they own we ve also had flooding in rural areas here in victoria it s horrible for the humans but us animals often get forgotten in emergencies and are often hit hardest by natural disasters both pets and wildlife have been severely affected by the floods please join us in donating anything you can to help queensland s animals source http www qt com au story 2011 01 21 rescue wins hearts we re all having a hard time dealing with the heat what with having thick furry coats and all so i thought i d share some of the things our human does for us to help us cool down my human thought it would be good to use this cool blue ball that you may have seen in this post and was inspired by this frozen kong idea she spied on the never say never greyhounds blog i don t love kongs so using a ball was a much better idea in my book anyway first my human boiled some yummy things like soup bones celery and carrots when they were cooked she chopped them up she grabbed a plastic bag that she normally uses to roast things and put the blue ball inside she then taped the bag so that it hugged the outside of the ball so all the soup would be contained within the ball she poured the soup in once it cooled and added the chopped meat and carrots then she tied the bag tightly with a rubber band and froze the ball yummy even iris wanted a piece of the action i have my ice cream and my shade summer is pretty bearable i suppose in the future my human said she will make a much smaller ball for me because there was no way i could eat that whole thing myself and it didn t stay frozen for very long also it made a loud clunking noise when i tried to play with it and i got scared so smaller is definitely the way to go she also said she wishes i would have eaten it on the grass because she had to clean the greasy soup stains off the pavers after me p i admit i don t have the best table manners as for the three little pigs my human always has to be very careful because they re very sensitive to high and low temperatures so she always places their hutch between the big lemon and grapefruit trees so it s shaded all day they also received a huge water bottle for christmas so they never run out of water my human actually replaced this plastic one with a thick glass one which was even better because it kept the water cooler but the lady who was looking after us when our humans were on holiday broke it so now it s back to the plastic one until she replaces it the guinea pigs also get a frozen bottle of water on really hot days they lie against it and it acts as their own personal air conditioner what do you do to beat the heat in summer love oscar and the gang posted by oscar the maltese at 12 03 pm 4 comments labels food guinea pigs heat iris oscar products rspca summer toys summer update boo sock zombie here sooooooooocks sock i am going to eat you mmmm fresh juicy sock a la oscar i ve been so so busy lately i will be writing about my summer time adventures in a series of themed posts to come but for now i just wanted to quickly update you on some of the things that i ve been up to recently as it s been a while since i ve checked in with all my blog friends i ve been doing more walking on mullum creek trail i love it because i get to do two of my favourite things posing prettily and making new friends these days really small submissive female doggies are the only ones i m not scared of my human says it s getting ridiculous and embarassing so i have to start going to classes at the rspca my human was quite dilligent about socialisation and when i was younger i was the friendliest most confident doggie around then around a year or so ago i got attacked by a big doggie who was off leash on an on leash narrow trail walk and had run away from his owner it was lucky my human s dad was there or i would have been dog food as the big doggie didn t even stop to sniff my butt and went straight for my neck then a few months ago my human and i were just walking down a nearby street when two smaller doggies saw us from the other side of the road and squeezed under their fence and ran out growling mean things at us that was the first time my human was actually scared of a doggie she s walked all kinds of dogs at the rspca even ones who don t like humans very much but never had she seen such mean aggressive doggies even worse because there were two of them they riled eachother up my human scooped me up and just barely avoided having her legs shredded i was so scared and of course because she was scared too with good reason i became even more scared since then i have become more and more timid with strange dogs and sometimes if they look really intimidating i will yell out some nasty things at them first so they know not to mess with me well my human said that s not how she s brought me up to behave in public and i need to go back to school to have an attitude readjustment hmmph it s not my fault meanwhile we ve been practicing meeting different doggies nicely and what better place than the beautiful and peaceful mullum creek trail where we can admire pretty flowers and feathery things who make strange noises after all that walking in the wild and overgrown jungles of suburbia my human has to check me thoroughly for ticks i figure since she has to go to all that effort i may as well donate some of my coat to make her a nice new jumper note from my human for any of you who are interested here is some info on mullum creek trail mullum creek runs through several suburbs but the section we walk along is in ringwood close to mullum mullum reserve there are also a couple of mullum mullum reserves in different suburbs so here is a map love oscar and the gang

said see the snow monkeys she thought you might enjoy this video of the day she finally saw them it was snowing heavily and bitterly cold but she said it was all worth it to tick something off her bucket list the other things she ticked off her bucket list while in japan were seeing her favourite whale the beluga and going to disneyland p p s that s my human with the yellow umbrella getting blown away p p s about half of the clips in this video were shot by my human s ex boyfriend thanks myles love oscar and the gang posted by oscar the maltese at 1 42 pm 6 comments labels japan snow monkeys saturday november 13 2010 animal welfare law and post exam shopping spree you ll be happy to hear that both my human and i survived the dreaded and evil time of year commonly known as exam week or the week of death as my human likes to call it only a little worse for wear to be fair it s my human that s a little worse for wear this is what we do study study study one of her assessments this semester was a 5 000 word essay for a subject called animal welfare law my human was very excited to be able study this subject as it s the first time it s being offered in our state the essay was worth 100 of the mark for the subject and my human had to research into australia s animal welfare legal regime and put forward a proposal for reform my human says the current legal regime is really silly my words not hers we have different laws in each state different regulations in different council areas even different laws for individual industries and different laws relating to different animals the result is inconsistent and inadequate protection for animals for example the greyhound industry code of practice allows for greyhounds to be kept in cages smaller than the domestic dog code allows for toy breeds anti cruelty legislation also only protects against unreasonable cruelty leaving room for perpetrators to argue that the circumstances justified their being cruel to their animals worse still some animals are completely excluded from the protection of anti cruelty legislation like livestock for example and some animals may lose this protection simply by being transported across state lines fish aren t considered animals in some states and so aren t protected in certain industries such as those exploiting animals for scientific experimentation or for food the very bodies who develop protective instruments and are charged with enforcing them are those who stand to gain the most from allowing cruelty to go unpunished some of you may know that australia exports live animals like sheep to other countries to be slaughtered what you may not know is that when deciding whether the minimum standards of welfare are met in relation to these live shipments the body responsible for this decision acts on the advice of the representative body for exporters in other words there s a huge conflict of interest between protecting the welfare of animals and promoting commercial interests finally most of the enforcement of anti cruelty laws is done by the rspca a not for profit organisation with very limited resources australia does very little to protect one of its icons the kangaroo allowing kangaroos to be killed for profit or even for recreation with little to no enforcement of welfare standards photo credit voiceless follow the link to read about commercial killing of kangaroos in australia don t worry there are no graphic pictures however if you re interested in the reality of humanely ...
