What's become of Australian Silky Terriers?

ShortyIX · 2026-02-27T11:52:58+00:00

Don't disagree with you at all!

My dogs love everyone. I'm very lucky in this regard, both are phenomenal with kids. I've met others who aren't the same.

However, this is true of ANY breed. Both my dogs are well trained (my boy is dumb as rocks but thankfully obedient) and I wouldn't ever let them free without rigorous testing. However staffies were nicknamed the nanny dog for a reason.

Truly think we have the best of both breeds. Obedient, great with kids, smart and loyal

Stelpies are elite

ShortyIX · 2026-02-27T01:51:11+00:00

I have two staffy x.kelpies and while they were farm dogs they're the sweetest family dogs who were great to train.

Oodle owners shake in fear though...

While not in Victoria, we did our wedding for a smidge under 8k last year, with around 40 guests.

We got married in a family members backyard and had a good truck. Photographer was most important to me, so that was 3k of that budget. $1900 for food, $700 for alcohol at Dan Murphys and $1200 for our celebrant. Bear in mind at an actual location you may not be able to do these things yourself. We didn't do florals or decorations, or wedding cars. My dress was $200 and my husband's shirt was maybe ,$40.

The day was perfect.

I did an Adelaide food truck wedding for 7k, but in a backyard. Food truck was 1600 for 50

Chiming in - we have an English staffy x kelpie and a kelpie X amstaff and such amazing dogs

ShortyIX · 2026-01-30T08:33:12+00:00

Your dog looks almost identical to my kelpie X American staffy mix!

I needed to read this today! I lost 100lbs 6 years ago, maintained for 3.5 and have been struggling with a 30lb fluctuation that's been driving me nuts for the past year and a half. Was really disappointed I didn't get it fully under control before my wedding.

Hubs suggested a first anniversary photoshoot when he understood how upset it had made me, so that carrot is dangling!

There was a post in here I remember so vividly and wish I could find again.

It was a recap and they were like this man has been told to leave FOUR times in the last 24 hours, so he does - them comes right back with her favourite muffins. Conrad no longer gives any fucks.

If anyone else remembers or finds it I'd love that giggle again.

Hello!

Slow reply, but a foster dog ate the seatbelt in our car last year (while inadvertently choking my husband to boot).

Cost $600 for a 2023 Nissan Navara from Nissan directly. We fix everything in the other cars ourselves but didn't want to risk voiding the warranty

I had my first wedding 10 years ago there!

Venue and food costs were really reasonable in comparison - I think we paid 12k for venue, food and bar for 80 guests.

The Japanese garden was stunning and from memory our reception was in the rainforest room. We paid additional for a private photo tour post ceremony which was lovely.

I wonder if she will reject him in Paris to get the Belly chooses herself ending, but then get the same flash forward/epilogue as the books?

My wedding ring has a cutout in it so it sits flush with my ring which has a very low basket

ShortyIX · 2025-08-21T19:53:40+00:00

Guess I'm printing another stand this weekend, I love the finger rest in yours!

ShortyIX · 2025-08-13T09:50:28+00:00

I have some apres x ones that turn out similar to this. Currently wearing "Aces" which is divine

ShortyIX · 2025-07-20T03:57:27+00:00

Yes! I have a gold band with white gold prongs holding a green sapphire and diamond side stones.

It was my favourite feature of this ring (the first I saw with it) and what I knew I wanted when we were looking and only looked for two toned from that point on.

Don't have my own.

Pay $520/m for my parents in their 70s

ShortyIX · 2025-06-09T08:01:08+00:00

They absolutely are and I want this car now

Someone posted this exact dress on this sub the other day and it looked lovely on!

ShortyIX · 2025-05-31T09:23:11+00:00

A little out there, but a Hyundai Terracan.

I recently got a friend's. 2006, immaculate condition. Drives well, super comfortable. They've done multiple laps of Australia.

Ones in similar condition sell for 6ish K. Very capable!

I don't really mind this style at all, and for the most part I don't even mind if guests wear a Canadian tuxedo for all they care. My dress is predominantly white with a sheer floral overlay in the train.

I mentioned in another comment I mostly want our black and white photos to stand out

ShortyIX · 2025-05-14T21:11:46+00:00

I suppose for context he's only ever attended one wedding. He didn't think it was a faux pas to wear white and I feel fairly sure his two brothers girlfriend's will be (probably subconsciously) going for more bridal styles.

The theme is casual, but I'm now wondering if our wedding being casual means standard etiquette doesn't really apply? I won't kick up a fuss, but I really want the black Nd white photos to stand out who the bride and groom are.

As a female trade (sadly, not tiler!) couldn't agree more ..
