QUEENSLAND set to increase fines for Dog Owners
Millions of pet owners are being told to keep their dogs on a tight leash as one Aussie state increases its penalties following a spike in serious dog attacks.

Fine amounts were previously at council discretion and differed from area to area in Queensland, however, in a statewide bid to crack down on dangerous dog ownership, Queenslanders are now subjected to the same penalties if they or their dog are caught doing the wrong thing, regardless of their location.

Local councils will still be responsible for enforcing the amendments and the introduced fines are hefty, with on-the-spot fines more than doubling for owners who fail to control their dogs in public spaces — jumping from $322 to $806.

A Chat GPT Poem
I love my puppy so dear, with her I have no fear.
Her smile is contagious, her looks are outrageous
She loves to run and play all day, her energy never fades away.
She loves to cuddle close at night,
But when it's time for bed she'll put up a fight!
Her fur is soft and warm against my skin,
My pup will always be my best friend.
No matter how bad the day has been,
she’s there with me through thick and thin.
With her around every moment is brightened;
my love for her cannot be heightened!

Be ready for tick season

TICKS - As we move into Tick season, dog owners should be aware of the areas where ticks are found, how to identify if your dog has been bitten, and what to do about it.• Ticks are found on the eastern seaboard of Australia from the tip of Queensland down NSW through to Victoria, along the top of the north coast and down the west coast to Margret River. • Ticks prefer warm and humid areas, short bush and long grass, and also pet beds• Ticks are most active in spring and summer, but they can be found all year round, particularly in Australian tropical and subtropical regions
When a tick first attaches itself to your dog, it will likely cause irritation, discomfort and an itch often making your dog scratch, sometimes the tick will find spots that are hard for your dog to reach. When they first attach, the tiny ticks may be difficult to spot with the naked eye.
Some signs to look for if your dog has been bitten by a tick.
• Unsteady on their feet, Weak hind legs• Change in tone of your dogs bark• Loss of appetite• Vomiting or dry retching• Excessive salivation• Difficulty in swallowing• Coughing, gagging• Noisy panting, difficulty in breathing• Lethargy
How to search for ticks - you're more likely to feel the tick than see it
• Using your hands, to feel for small lumps or bumps on the skin. • Start with their head, check around the nose and mouth • Check inside your dog's ears, • Feel Under their chin and around their throat. • Move down the front legs and check in between their toes. • Feel along their body making sure to check their belly. • Check down their back legs and in between their toes. • Inspect your dog's ge***al region. • Finish with their tail.
What to do if you find a tick
Remove the tick immediately and keep looking for more – use a pair of fine-pointed tweezers • Spread your dog's fur, then grasp the tick as close to the skin as possible. Very gently, pull upward with an anti-clockwise twist, in a slow, steady motion.• Monitor a pet for several weeks after it has been bitten by a tick for signs of infection, inflammation or change of demeanor and if at all concerned, seek veterinary advice.
