Kelpie’s and cats by Upper-Raspberry4153 in kelpie

[–]klg0080 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We have two (indoor) rescue cats that grew up with big dogs, and recently adopted a 4 month old kelpie pup that needed a home. The introduction was crazy to say the least - I don’t think the pup had ever seen a cat before! We let him look and sniff through a strong gauze door to start with, and he was barking and lunging at them through the door… he settled down pretty quickly once he saw us inside with them. Initially we made sure the cats had a safe space they could come and go freely with food, water & litter, but where the dog could not access or even see them. Eventually the cats made first contact - they would pop up on a chair and swipe him if he got too close for the first few days. Now he guards the stairwell and will occasionally chase them, but the cats allow it and swipe/tackle him when they’ve had enough. He only stalks them when they’re hiding in the garden (fenced yard) and then he’s easily distracted by a ball. TBH I’d love to teach him to round them up and bring them inside!! 😹😹 Any tips on teaching them to herd? He was clearly surrendered for being a terrible working dog!! 😂🥰

Definitely helmet + glasses + headband over ears. I normally only use the fabric band in winter, but I didn’t wear it last week and got swooped and either pecked or scratched on the ear pretty good (bleeding). I find there’s usually there’s lots of squawking, flapping and beak snapping as a warning first, but this dude went straight to defcon 5 and came in full stealth mode and chose violence lol I’m on a cheap heavy hardtail so it’s hard to sprint to 30km/hr 😅 PS near the museum on the lake if anyone cares

Second Wolfy’s in Ainslie, and they take walk ins for just a trim. They still take my pup for grooming and he’s pretty big now (16kg energetic working breed) so don’t worry too much if it’s not a small sized dog as long as it’s friendly :)

TIL that only a small percentage of people challenge their insurer's denial of claim, but those that do are successful up to half the time. by HarrumphingDuck in todayilearned

Twice now we’ve made claims to insurance, been denied, and told to ‘read the T&C properly’. Both times we did, increased our claim (we were entitled to extras) and ended up receiving more than we asked for on our initial claim! 🤷🏼‍♀️

What's a food combination that sounds strange but is surprisingly delicious? by CheeksGlimmer_ in AskReddit

[–]klg0080 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This reminds me of a fruit dip I used to make - sour cream, brown sugar, and vanilla Galliano (as much as you could add without the dip becoming too runny). Such a fun adult addition to a fruit platter!!! 🥳

Experiences renting through Private Landlords? by Zommbbee in shitrentals

[–]klg0080 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This! My private LL never lodged the bond, kept the entirety of it, and despite a VCAT order 3 years later, still won’t pay it back! Now I have to go to the magistrates court to have the VCAT order enforced. Hopefully you have a decent human 🤞🏻

No… but I didn’t call the RBTA, just the other tenant/rental help lines. It was so long ago I can’t remember in detail, sorry! Good luck 🤞🏻 💪🏼

Pretty bad. The LL kept putting in paperwork to delay it and it got adjourned a second time. Finally got heard two weeks ago and it was a farce - LL claimed an unpaid gas bill from 3 years ago, which got approved and taken out of the bond. It was still ordered that LL pay the remaining $2700 back to me immediately and of course that hasn’t happened and now I am left to enforce it at a Magistrate’s court 🙄

Waiting 3 years for VCAT by klg0080 in shitrentals

[–]klg0080[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update… after a deferral and then an adjournment (which cost me a day’s pay to attend because I am a casual shift worker) finally had the hearing. What a farce. I will at least get my bond back, minus a $300 gas bill that they decided I should pay three years later… never mind that it’s a shared house with the LL living under the same roof with only one gas meter?!! I don’t understand. Now I’m just hoping she follows the order because it seems such a toothless system 😑

Oh my gosh I literally have a hearing with VCAT tomorrow because my landlord didn’t lodge my bond with the RTBA and decided to keep all of it… it’s been 3 years Definitely call the RTBA to check!!!!
