Some nice positive stuff here. Loving it. I grew up with my mother diagnosed with bipolar or in those days it was manic depression. It had a huge impact in my life. I would often end up on the care of others as she would sometimes spend several weeks or more in hospital at a go and could have stints like that a few times a year. Sometimes it was only 3 or 4 weeks.

I've had major depression but think or was because of loss. It had significant impact on me at several points in my life. I try to keep positive maybe overly so. I try to see the funny or humorous side of everything. That may be coping mechanism.

Bob - though it was not your ambition at the time, this thread looks to serve a very positive outcome

Thank you.

ps still hoping to see you in Canberra if you can swing it.

Grasshopper.

One option is a bought or home-made crate. Even a double cargo-barrier -type arrangement.
Park under a tree, leave the windows down and/or doors open ... water in a bowl ... Canberra's not known for its heatwaves is it?

Our new baby came to work 2nd day she was here from SA ... she has a bigger one (adult-sized) in the lounge-room that now mostly sits with the door open. She treats it like her bedroom.

Cheers and all the best,
Paul

Nah - our Rhodesian Ridgeback spent her first 6 months living in an old TV cardboard box, until I scrounged enough scrap timber from surrounding building sites to build a kennel.

This allows the dog to adjust the entrance size as they grow......

My Border Collie won't use any of the kennels or crates etc we bought for him over the years, and why should he? He's smart enough to open any doors in the house and let himself in, wherever he wants to go, fly wire security doors, timber doors - you name it he opens them at will, but do you think I can get the batsurd to close them behind him? Like my cheese & kisses I think he was born in a tent... so I go to work to pay for heating & air conditioning the entire earths atmosphere... heck I KNOW exactly whats causing global warming and they all live at my fricken place!

You think you got problems?? Ours knows how to work a slow combustion heater, and can move her bed around. All the humans are outside in the cold

Gra,

That's it in a nutshell. Nice quote in a tragic kind of way.

It's been a while since I'd last visited this post, and what do I first see? A bloody great photo of Tony Abbot............now I really AM depressed!

Hey Glenrob, what areas of woodwork are you good at? Turning, box making, milling? What is the best item that you have made?

Have you ever done any volunteering or consulting work?
