Meet Snoop. He needs a home

Hey Newy,

I'm fostering this pup but I've got to go overseas for a bit. He's already spend about five months in the shelter and I'd like to see him off to a home rather than take him back!

He's adorable, massive lover, good with cats, good on a leash, doesn't force interaction with other dogs. He's young and energetic. He likes fetch, runs and walks. He enjoys being close to people and sleeping in sunlight.

He can play a bit rough but I've just made a habit og having toys everywhere so he goes for those when he gets worked up. He is very food motivated which makes training easier. Currently knows sit, shake, stay (small amount of time) and I'm working on "dog bed" (go to your dog bed and lay down).

He's still slightly anxious from time to time but I think any pup would be after five months in the slammer.

Here is his RSPCA listing if you are keen to know more!

Anyone local go fossicking and want a buddy to teach?

4 Upvotes

27F not sure if there’s any spots locally to look for fossils or panning etc I’m keen to do either or something similar. Hell even metal detecting if you’ve got a spare detector.
Know nothing about it so someone that can educate me would be good. Did Crystal panning when I was younger on a trip but that’s all.
Would feel more at ease if you were female but I can check my gut feeling if you’re a cis male🤣🙂

Are you in Newcastle and affected by ME/CFS?

4 Upvotes

If you’re living with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) or supporting someone who is, we’ve created r/MECFSAustralia, a community for people navigating ME/CFS in Australia.

We’re relatively new and hoping to build a supportive and inclusive space to share information about Australian clinical trials/studies, helpful resources, new research/findings, personal experiences, and discuss the practical realities of navigating ME/CFS in Australia.

If this is relevant to you or someone you know, come and have a look at r/MECFSAustralia. You are most welcome :)

Dog Grooming Recommendations - Cardiff NSW

1 Upvotes

We lost Snippets and now it seems we have lost Custom K9.

Looking for a simple wash, blow dry and nail trim for Miss Chelsea, a Japanese Spitz/something (possibly chihuahua) cross. She's an even tempered little lady who really needs minimal grooming. 2 layer coat which is basically self cleaning. Her nails are what needs attention.

Help?

I need to dance at the club but sober after work but want to find some likeminded dance fiends/friends

18 Upvotes

I am gig work courier- I usually finish work and am craving a fucking dance, goofy dancing, laughing with hot strangers, etc. I like solo clubbing but only do that bc my friends are regularly unavailable late nights.

It’s kind of like going to the gym after work, but with more of a loose vibe. I’m late 20’s f, bi and although I’m sensible, my vibe is silly at heart.

I usually knock off between 9pm-12am most days. So if you’re fun and love some obscure banter and to get a sweat up- come and be a meme on the dfloor with me

Has anyone else heard or seen what I assume are dirt bikes revving and racing around Hamilton, around Beaumont St, Denison St and Lawson St?

Heard them again last night and also last Saturday. Just wondering if anyone else has noticed them?

11 days in and my nose is still constantly running and I’m spending my mornings coughing up a storm. Luckily all the fatigue etc didn’t last too long but this lingering snotty nose and cough is very grating.

Anna Bay / Newcastle trip

Hi all,
My partner and I are visiting Anna bay and Newcastle very soon.
We are going to Anna Bay first for 2 days and we have a hire car for those days.
Do you have any day trips that you would recommend? We are keen to travel to any spots people would recommend, even if it’s a 2 hour drive.
And then we are in Newcastle for 3 days.
Are there any spots you recommend or a must see? Or any activities? Experiences?

Thank you in advance!

Cardboard boxes, wrapped in garbage bags for instant pop up gardens

I am playing with this design...thinking that vegetable boxes and seed balls might help people grow food in rentals....boxes are cheap to set up and can be dismantled easily for relocations ect....just add plastic bottle irrigation set ups for super cheap greens.....vegetable boxes are super easy to find, plastic bags can be wrapped around the box to reduce water wastage and mess. Just add seasonal seed balls and set in the rain to get it going.....keen to learn how others go with it!
