my dog just killed a GOANNA, my cats kill possums and Im trying to protect eveythig…I NEED HELP
here’s what I propose , Cheyne …
let your dog eat pussy , then he will abstain from goanna/s for a while …
thanks for sharing mate
ben
[sorry , my apologies …humour used , mate …now I’ll go back to my day job eh ?!]
Wow Cheyne,
this is provocative, what is the rationale behind protecting the lizard from your dog? Is the
exstinguishing of a life form that disturbing? Is the feeling of being able to intervene and
possibly not doing the “right thing” in the back of your mind?
All kidding aside…
As someone who has laid their own life on the line in gigantic surf, you know all too well that
the risk is part of the challenge. We are seeing quite a few fatalities in “extreme sports”, just
look at the “Darwin Awards” (the scientist, not the town;)
Perhaps it would help if you saw the goanna as a participant in an extreme sport. Intervening
would be like a helicopter plucking you out of giant Logs just as you are about to drop in!
Do you want to take this opportunity for the goanna to prove itself?
Or, are you just tired of cleaning up the mess?
Hey Cheyne,
I know your hassle my dog thinks it has to rid the world of Blue Tongue lizards.
Just got back from Evans Head and found two carcasses in the yard - been ther for a while (maggots and all). What a fun topic!
Cheers,
Craig.
LOVE THAT…both of u…well I love nature, an my cats are ferell and i do let the dog chase em down…so there is lots of curry there…and i dont like to sea my dog killing wild life…eagles yes…so Im goin for the bell on the cats to save the possums and mydog…he got lucky this time…
Goanna? I hear they’re pretty good eating…
Damn Possums should've been on a leash anyway.
My Do9g Loves pussy…its when he gets the lizard i start wondering…lol to u chip
OH OH…ur farkin sick…good eatin…mate…Im laughen but i dont want 2b…u sick farker…GOOD Eatin…LOL
John, that’s pretty dang gross…
If I was a cat, how pissed would I be if I had a bell put on my neck? I mean, pets are pretty
smart. He/she will hold you responsible, they’ll end up pissin in your shoes or something.
There’s got to be a better way to keep them from mingling with the local fauna…
…a muzzle? little boxing gloves? but a dainty bell… …that’s almost as bad as killin the lizard,
it’s like “the Man in the Iron Mask”, like punishment, that was un-due
Hey what’s wrong with eating possum? I live in the deep south of the US and most people around here consider possum to be “the other white meat!”
This time of year our cat gets about a bird a day. But since he’s adopted us - no mice in the house. Here in the real deep south possums are a different animal and we aim for em with our cars.

I have never seen one with yellow stripes on it until I saw this.
too bad to hear your pets are having a go with the local wild life, sorry to tell you this my friends family which is completely vegetarian has about 9 cats which go out side all the time anmd kills stiff. they tried bells but the way a cat hunts the bells arn’t going to ring because they are almost gliding and if everything in the bell if moving uniformly there will be no jingle, no alarm
maybe you could go outside and build a place for some goanna to live. made of the soil and rocks and sticks and vegetation that are there. to look like the best goanna lodge you’ve ever seen. you could be poppa of the goanna
Reminds me of a friend who lived on a Hare Krishna commune. They had gophers that kept decimating their vegetable gardens…they didn’t kill the gophers. They just “sent their souls transmigrating.”
hey , GREAT thread guys !
thanks for coming …
it gets my vote alongside ?resinheads? pizza dough one , for the potentially funniest ‘off topic’ / ‘O.T.’ thread this year [mind you , trying to sell telephones and game boys on a surfboard forum is pretty ‘Out There’, too ! heehee]

Keep you doggie away from the brown snakes…deadly they are.Herb
Cheyne,
The real question to be asked is: “watchu goanna do?” yuk! yuk! [tongue]
Cheers,

Cheyne,
This is Karma.
Your dog’s going to continue to bring your presents until you mail those two star fins to the guy in San Diego that sent you money for them and a few New Years rounds to boot while you were in Hawaii over two years ago.
I’m sure you’re dog has eaten my address so I’m messaging it again.
I’m currently in talks with your cats to up the ante on their kills and the’ve agreed to deposit something in the bedroom, but I will leave it at that and of course their imagination, which from what I’ve gathered, is far diabolical than even Americans.
Bob in San Diego
