ANIMALS LOST, FOUND and NEEDING HOMES

2 Middle-aged citizens require
loving caregivers for 6 months.

There has to be a minimum delay of 30 days after they get their Rabies vaccinations before they can get their blood tests to ensure that they are rabies-free, followed by a period of 90 days before they can get the final blood tests and receive Health Certificates signed by the State Vet to be cleared to travel at any time after that.

The Pet travel company will collect them from the foster home when they are ready to leave.

Unfortunately, their owner, Sandy, will have to leave her home in Jo'burg at the end of January, 2012, and cannot keep the dogs at her temporary accomodation until she leaves for overseas in February, 2012, so, she is urgently looking for a caring foster home for Toby and Jess, from the beginning of February, 2012, for approximately 6 months.

Sandy will pay for their upkeep, Vet costs (and of course the rabies shots and the blood tests), until they are ready to travel.

Sandy says that, "Toby and Jess are very social, and even though Jess is a staffie, she is so friendly and laid back and gets on well with all dogs. She has lived on a farm with a Sausage Dog (who was the matriarch) , Jack Russells and Labradors. Toby gets on well with all breeds but in particular, the males of the breeds! He just loves male dogs! They thrive on human interaction which I why I would prefer a Foster Home where they will get more human interaction. Both are well trained, house trained, well mannered loving dogs and my focus is to get them Overseas as quickly as possible.

My dogs are both neutered/spayed and both about 9 yrs. Both in excellent health although Toby, the male has just had a knee op and recovered well. Both still think they are puppies occasionally and need lots of hugs and love. They are gentle, easy-going and have been on a farm with 4 other dogs and fitted in well with them, as well as horses and pigs! They love kids and human company, love walks but also love sleeping too. They can sleep indoors or out, don't mess at all even if inside for 12 hours.

Jess, the female staffie, is very gentle and loving. If you cover her with a blanket she will lie by your feet for hours. Toby, the male Labrador cross (small breed) has a sense of humour and always looks like he is about to tell a joke, he just hates thunder and fire crackers but a few rescue tabs calm him down. They have a kennel, food and water feeder, inside bed and I can give money for their upkeep too. They don't need a big garden, just love and care.

I took them away to Magaliesburg for a brief holiday and they loved it. They are very social and welcomed all other doggies to the pool area, played with them, swam and just loved interacting so they will fit into any situation where other animals are. They have spent time on a farm with horses, sheep and pigs. They loved kids and playing but also love nothing better than sleeping at your feet. Very special friends.

Both are in good health.

My dogs are already microchipped. I will do their rabies now, and then the 1st blood draw before I go in Feb. They then have to wait 90 days for the next blood test and thereafter can travel anytime. The test results will remain valid.

Therefore, if you can please look for 6 months, from 1st February for my dogs to be fostered. My daughters reside here in Jhb and are at university and can assist with transporting the dogs to the vets from the Foster care home for their required blood tests and health certificates, provided it is in the Jhb/Pta area. (They both reside at varsity Res and unfortunately can't keep the dogs). Once the time is up, Petwings will arrange the collection of the dogs from the foster care and air travel.

Once again, I will cover all food and vet costs for them while in care. They simply need a home and a garden in which to wait while I get sorted.

Thank you so much,

Regards

Sandy"

NUTTY

This is a Jack Russell pure bread pup. Her name is Nutty. She is 1 and half years old. She is good with other dogs. She has been spayed and had all her injections. She is house trained. And knows the basics such as sit, stay, shake paw, go outside. She is intelligent and is easily trained and she likes to please. She has a lovely nature and is friendly and loves to cuddle (she even cuddles our cat - see photo). Her favorite game is to fetch a ball and bring it back.

We adore her and she has brought great joy to our lives but unfortunately my boyfriend has been retrenched and we have to move and can not take her with us. Breaks my heart but I have to find her a new home. I refuse to send her to SPCA. We don’t have children, but she has been fine with children that have been at our house.

She has NEVER bitten or even so much as growled at anyone (other than the postman). We used to take her for runs on the beach as she is an energetic dog. So I would like to find a home for her that has a family willing to walk her often or that has a nice big garden. She is used to other dogs and I would hate to think that she would be alone, so I hope she will find a home with not only a human family but some other canine family too.

If anyone is looking for a new family member to join their home please contact me. I need to find her a home as soon as possible.

Bobby and Widgett - JHB
Looking for a loving home

Please tell your friends about these dogs.
They have been through enough and deserve a loving home.

They can be free-flighted to any centre in SA, subject to a successful home check.

Bobby is a mixed breed, with predominantly Shepherd genes - she is about 5 years old.

Widgett is a Black Pitbull cross Chow. He is a real "puppy" and doesn't have an aggressive bone in his body, and just loves biscuits and attention! He is about 3 years old. He looks fierce though, which is a plus!!!

They have become firm friends and they both have the sweetest, most gentle natures. They are used to children, and don't seem to worry about cats. We need to find them a loving home together.

(NOTE: Eyes were just white from reflected flash
so, this is NOT the actual colour of this dog's eyes

- and despite the flash, the photo was dark
so, the photo was "brightened" to show the dog more
so, the dog is probably actually a bit darker coloured).

**************************************************************

On Friday, 30 September 2011, my Beige Male Husky, Luke (black on his back) got out of my yard. We stay in the Wierda Park, close to Willem Botha Ave. He was last seen close to Ruimte Ave by the Seafood Terrace Restaurant and the Pet Shop in the Centre (cnr Ruimte and Willem Botha)

My female misses him a lot and refuses to eat or interact with us.

If anyone knows something, PLEASE PLEASE let me know, I am really fond of him and he is sorely missed.

Please contact me on 082 386 0848 should you have any information.

Thanks,

Tosca

PS: Please keep an eye out for poster on any Found huskies - possibly in Eldorainge, Wierda Park or Rooihuiskraal areas.

Thanks, Anso 082 821 0141

The female has since recently also managed to get out of the yard, (presumably to try to find the male).

Perhaps you might have "adopted" one of these huskies, thinking that it was a stray?

If so, PLEASE contact their owner, TOSCA, at 082 386 0848.

Husky Rescue Southern Africa is a non-profit organisation that specialises in the rescue and re-homing of huskies and other Nordic breeds of dogs. With the popularity of the Siberian, Malamute and other Nordic breeds increasing over the last couple of years we have found a dramatic increase in the number of lost and abandoned dogs.

Families have seen movies like Balto and Eight Below and dog lovers are captured by the beautiful white coats and gorgeous blue eyes and puppies were purchased by the dozen. An increase in demand results in an increase of supply and as a result irresponsible backyard breeders have flooded neighbourhoods with puppies without educating people on the very specific needs of these breeds of dogs.

Families have found themselves unable or unwilling to accommodate the needs of the dogs and dogs are found roaming the streets, abandoned or even worse; abused. Hence the need for an organisation like ours.

It has become evident that people are ill-informed and ignorant of the very specific needs of the breed. To compound the issue of ignorance, back-yard breeding has increased the number of husky puppies available to the public and husky owners are purchasing pets with bad bloodlines and genetic defects.

Husky Rescue SA has developed a rescue program to accommodate these unwanted, abandoned and very often abused dogs.

What to do if you get a heart attack
and you are on your own!
(This might save your life!)
(167 Kb PowerPoint)

During a Braai a friend stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine (they offered to call paramedics) she replied she "just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes". They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food - while she appeared a bit shaken up, Ingrid went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening.

Ingrid's husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital - (at 6:00pm, Ingrid passed away.) She had suffered a stroke at the Braai - had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke perhaps Ingrid would be with us today.

It only takes a minute to read this-

Recognizing a Stroke

A neurologist says that if he can see a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke...totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed and getting the patient to a hospital within 3 hours - which is tough.

Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify and lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke.

READ AND LEARN THESE "3" STEPS:

Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions:

1. *Ask the individual to SMILE.

2. *Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.

3. *Ask the person to SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently) (i.e. ...It is sunny out today)

If he or she has ANY trouble with any of these tasks, call paramedics immediately and describe the symptoms to them.

After discovering that a group of non-medical volunteers could identify facial weakness, arm weakness and speech problems, researchers urged the general public to learn the three questions.

Widespread use of this test could result in a prompt diagnosis and treatment of the stroke and prevent brain damage from occuring.

A new scam has emerged that is probably already making its rounds or about to spread viciously, so drivers need to be alert about the implications of a similar "chance" encounter.

By Trail Blazer
Most drivers have had the odd brush with a car or a person, a scrape here and a scratch there - nothing too serious to worry about or give second thought to.

And this is the very trait that scam artists are depending on to fleece you and the road accident fund.

Has this happened to you: you pull out of a driveway or shopping complex and find that someone "carelessly" walks into your car?

He may apologise, or if you offer to help him, he may refuse assistance and claim that he's okay. You glance at your car and notice nothing, not a dent nor even a scratch. He walks away from the car, usually in the opposite direction.

Well, take this advice seriously. Please go to the nearest police station and report your near "accident" or "encounter" if you prefer to call it that.

It will take up time, frustrate you and the officer taking down your report, and you wonder of what worth it is to report such an insignificant incident.

Well here's the payoff line.

Most people forget about it completely, until they receive a summons in their post box, or until the "victim" turns up at their door, claiming that he was so badly struck that he was in hospital for weeks with broken bones and requiring compensation from the MVA.

A lawyer will assist him to trace you, your address, and even bring him to your door.

The lawyer benefits from the scam with the fees he charges, the scam artist has someone working at the hospital who authenticates his claims and what happens to you?

First, you are in deep trouble for not having reported the "accident" within the 24 hours allowed.

Second, if you dispute the claim, it will go to court and you will have to spend thousands defending yourself.

Thirdly, and perhaps most frighteningly, the "victim" now has access to your home address and you are a ripe victim waiting to be picked for robbery, rape and even murder.

How did they know who to choose, when you believe it was a "chance" encounter?

Well, they time you while you are shopping at the mall and take down your number plate in advance.

Then they plan the "chance" encounter so that you don't think much of it and finally, they pounce into action, with massive MVA claims.

Please, for your own protection and the protection of your families, don't ignore even the slightest "encounter". Rather report it at the nearest police station and eliminate the need to worry as you would have done your civic duty, and avoided any future problems, foreseeable or not.

Hi All

I was basically robbed yesterday in my complex by guys selling fake compost and charging a huge amount for it.

First there was only two guys who showed me a sample and asked me to open my gate so they could show me how it works, while I was talking to the guy a white truck with six more guys came and parked in front of my house. 

I asked how much it was going to be and he said R12 a bag, so I said I wanted 10 bags, but while I was still telling him what I wanted they had already off loaded 43 bags onto my lawn and started raking it, this was done within four (4) minutes.

Just then my neighbour called me and told me that I should not buy from these guys because they were crooks but it was too late, but at least I managed to stop them half way. If I had let them carry on it would of cost me thousands of rands.

They stood there demanding their money and after I refused to pay them, they were getting violent and said that if I didn't pay them, they would drive their truck into my house or they will come back and sort me out. They were like animals and looked terrible. You could see that they were on drugs as well.

I have reported the incident to the crime intelligence department at the midrand police department, and an article will be going into the Midrand reporter.

I was told by friends that this as happened to many people in midrand and other areas, if this as happened to you, you can contact Captain Hulk on 083 309 3121.

There were 2 or 3  Indian guys a coloured guy and about 4 black guys.

The registration of the truck has the following details on it either 739 or 239 GP I cannot remember what the letters are.

112
Emergency Cell Services

The international GSM standard that allows for SIMless calling to your closest 112 control centre anywhere in the world - has been temporarily suspended in South Africa due to excessive abuse. (From May 2004).

This decision, allowed by ICASA, affects ALL GSM networks in South Africa.

In South Africa it is a punishable offence both to make hoax calls and to abuse any emergency service.

(Thanx to Litisha Richardson of Ward 64 for bringing this to our attention).

112
SEL Nood Dienste

Die internasionale GSM standaard wat dit moontlik maak om sonder 'n SIM kaart met 'n selfoon na jou naaste 112 beheerkamer enige plek ter werêld te kan bel is tydelik in Suid Afrika gestaak, as gevolg van geweldige misbruik. (Vanaf Mei 2004).

Hierdie besluit is toegelaat deur ICASA en is van toepassing op ALLE GSM netwerke in Suid Afrika.

In Suid Afrika is dit 'n strafbare oortreding om "hoax" oproepe te maak of om enige nood diens te misbruik.

NEW CAR HIJACKING SCHEMES

1) Imagine: You walk across the parking lot, unlock your car and get inside. Then you lock all your doors, start the engine and shift into REVERSE.

Habit! You look into the rear-view window to back out of your parking space and you notice a piece of paper, some sort of advertisement stuck to your rear window.

So, you shift into PARK, unlock your doors and jump out of your vehicle to remove that paper (or whatever it is) that is obstructing your view... when you reach the back of your car, that is when the hijackers jump out of nowhere... jump into your car and take off -- your engine was running, your purse is in the car, and they practically mow you down as they speed off in your car.

BE AWARE OF THIS NEW SCHEME.

Just drive away and remove the paper that is stuck to your window later.

2) A new robbing tactic is fast spreading and I was nearly a victim!

Be alert on the highways!

I was on my way home at approx. 19h00 one evening from Lenmed Hospital, when a condom filled with a water resistant gel hit my windscreen.

It exploded on impact and the gel spread across the windscreen. I was curious at the time as to what the jelly was (suspecting it may have been a bird or the like) and thus drove to the next garage and had it cleaned.

Only then did it dawn on me what the intention was.

Thank goodness I did not wipe the windscreen.

The trick is this: instinctively a driver would switch the wipers on and try to wash the stuff off. Instead the goo is spread over the windscreen and blocks all vision, forcing you to stop. The wndscreen washer water does not dissolve the stuff.

THIS IS WHEN THEY ROB YOU!!!

Under no circumstances use the windscreen wipers.

Under no circumstances do you stop, even when the view is limited.

In the last year the incidents of dog poisoning decreased dramatically in the Wierda Bridge policing precinct.

However, the previously used method of silencing watchdogs has been detected again recently, and the attached photos show more...

Lots of interesting links will be provided shortly,
once the database for them has been developed.

WATCH THIS SPACE!

Baie interesante skakels sal binnekort beskikbaar wees,
nadat 'n databasis daarvoor klaar ontwerp word.

Die idee van hierdie Webtuiste is om 'n diens vir die gemeenskap van Wierdapark (en omliggende woonbeurte) te verskaf.

Jy sal ontdek dat, soos jy die opsielys deurkyk, ons van plan is om 'n wyer verskeidenheid van nuttige en vermaaklikheidsdienste te verskaf.

Ons gaan inligting van alle wettige en nie-aanstootlike besighede in die gebeid lys in ons "blou bladsye." (Naam & Tel. Nr. gratis - Bemarkingsinligting saam teen wat JY besluit dit vir JOU besigheid werd is).

Maar ons gaan afhanklik wees van betalende adverteerders om die koste van hierdie Webtuiste te help dek.

Om voorsiening vir alle grotes besighede te maak, hang die koste van adverteering van JOU af - JY bepaal self wat 'n advertensie op hierdie Webtuiste vir jou besigheid werd is. (Nie net op die Blou Bladsye nie, maar op elke blad van hierdie Webtuiste).

Ondersteun dus ons adverteerders, en VERTEL vir hulle dat jy hulle advertensie hier gesien het, ASSEBLIEF.

Dan gaan hulle aanhou om ons te ondersteun wat dit moontlik gaan maak vir ons om hierdie diens aan jou te kan aanhou voorsien.

JY kan ons help om op bepaalde gebeide eers te konsentreer, deur vir ons deur epos aan Alanh@ainet.co.za van jou voorkeur te laat weet.

JY kan ons ook help deur inligting oor klubs, skole, kerke en besighede wat ons nog nie gedek het nie te verskaf, asook verdere inligting en/of regstellings aan bestaande inligting vir dié wat ons klaar op het.

Ons sal graag vertel word van "taalgoggas" en spelfoute wat jy optel, asseblief.

Die voortbestaan van hierdie diens is in 'n groot mate afhanklik van JOU betrokkenheid, ASSEBLIEF.
