➡️ Too Poor To Buy Twice ⬅️

Developing Lunchmeat means managing her effectively - and part of that is about helping her regulate her immature nervous system. Chewing stuff is a normative behaviour for pups that can make a HUGE contribution to avoiding high arousal pups like Lunchy from developing downstream behavioural issues or problematic patterns.

My current batch of chew toys from was almost done for, and I knew exactly where I was headed for the re-up. I leant on Jen for her informed recommendations about which products I should invest in…because I know there will be more pups after Lunchy.

Jen turned me on to the range, which I promptly purchased from her…and here they are two days later.

Now that Lunchy has almost hit 20KG at 5mo she’s outgrown the leather puppy collar she’s been wearing. Having raised 2.5 dogs on that collar it felt like the smart choice to lean further into their custom made range of high quality leather collars, so I got invested in the next sized collar in their range.

In this economic climate there’s never been a better time to keep the money in Australia, and enjoy the benefits of quality service. Shout out to both great Aussie businesses for setting great standards…and fast shipping.

Multitasking an overdue catch up call a dear friend during a Lunchmeat expression session - an unexpected recipe for hilarious results.

My bro Ari and I had such a belly laugh watching Lunchy make up this twist to HER game.

I value creativity in my dogs SO highly, and it’s a strong consideration not only in WHAT I train my dogs to do, but in HOW I develop my dogs to think, process and learn.

Like so much else Lunch has learned, once she worked out that this new twist worked so well she came back to it again…and again…and again.

She really is a very funny little dog, and I shudder to think of what folks miss out on with their dogs when they just go down the ‘punish anything you don’t like’ rabbit hole.

These pics, those interactions - they’re proof positive (not that I needed to see any) that dogs are far more than just bags of meat that respond to punishment or reinforcement.

If you’re SICK TO DEATH of the same old ‘your dog must comply’ style of dog training…

If you want to create something FAR BEYOND AVERAGE between you and your dog…

Hit us up to level up.

Lexus (AKA Lootie) was the very first Malinois I ever owned, and today would have been her birthday.

Lexus came to me at around 18mo. She was as sweet as the day is long, and was by my side for many years.

Her character was beyond reproach, and on more than one occasion she stepped up in real life to keep myself or another loved one safe.

During the last chapter of our life together she was a much loved companion for three young girls, and my then long term girlfriend.

I still remember getting the call from the eldest daughter in the family whilst at dinner, with all 3 girls having been scared by a noise outside the home.

We were just around the corner, but I had the girls grab Lexus and take her into one of their bedrooms, and put her on the bed between them and the door.

Those girls trusted Lexus absolutely, and just having her with them was enough to help allay their fears for the few minutes it took for us to arrive home.

That’s who Lexus was.

She was more than just a friend. She was a member of whatever family she adopted, and damn near any kid she met.

I still remember being consoled by my dear friPaws at Yoursooper of as I blubbered uncontrollably after making the difficult decision to give Lex the dignity of leaving this life.

❤️Happy Birthday little Lootie❤️

You were a truly wonderful little being, and know you are remembered often and fondly my friend.

You’d like to think that as a society Australia does better than honouring those who have served just one day a year…but we don’t.

I think most folks simply get hyped about a day off work, or a day on the cans without a care.

We live in a very strange time, where 2025 seems far more like 1984 than most of us would have ever considered possible.

We have all kinds of groups with all kinds of politics, and all kinds of ideas and opinions, and here in Australia folks should be entitled to the freedom to express them…including those some folks don’t like.

It’s a very inconvenient fact that so many of our freedoms and privileges have been defended by a comparatively small group of Aussies prepared to do bad things to bad people, so that the rest of us can sleep easily in bed at night…or argue on the internet about some bu****it idea, sports team, or political ideology.

Our society has forgotten to remain grateful and to these few, allowing our media to revile them, and ostracising or demonising them once their perceived usefulness has passed.

Even where you may profoundly disagree with the politics behind the work they did, the sacrifices they and their families have made, it’s a grave and shameful mistake that we fail to honour and support those that have given so much to our nation.

On this day of all days just remember that these humans deserve our respect and thanks.

Lest We Forget.

ME: “Dude I’m getting fcuked hard here - I’ve got water pi***ng down across a couple of square meters in the office, and it’s touching some electrical. I can’t stop it on my own, and I was hopi……”

DUDE: “I’m 25 minutes away mate, see you soon.”

🔎OBSERVATION: Life is replete with mates whom will be there for you when times are good, and particularly when they need something.

They’re happy to offer to do something for you when it costs them nothing, and doesn’t inconvenience them greatly.

It’s a smaller number that will do something for you where it’s an inconvenience to them.

And very, very few will put what you need first when it actually costs them something - or even puts them at a personal disadvantage.

I consider this last group to be REAL mates - the rarest bunch, the kind you work hard to hold on to.

🗣SHOUT OUT: This wonderful bastard is a real mate, and has been for at least 15 years.

We don’t live in each others pockets, but we ALWAYS answer the phone to each other.

He has a beautiful family (and a long suffering wife), and yet he’s never more than a phone call away.

I can’t remember the last time he needed my help with anything, but he’s sure as s**t helped me a ton.

I also have an open invite to a giant wog feed any time I’m hungry - damn near a walk in the door and eat situation.

At the end of a long ass day at work he didn’t even hesitate to hop in and lend me a helping hand.

If it wasn’t for him a long day would have turned into a longer night, and the cleanup I look would be that much more painful.

Honourable mention goes out to another legendary bloke, who was actually 15min closer and dropped past to try and help…but neither of our ladders could gain us access.

GRATITUDE: Mad love to all of my mates, whatever level we enjoy that friendship on. 

I have an extra special place in my heart for those few wonderful bastards in my life who’s word may as well be a blood oath, who’s promise is more certain than taxes, and who never let an opportunity pass to chop me out in the way these two blokes did this week.

⛔️ End thing.
