My dog is so mean that if he takes a crap and it doesn't stack just right he kicks it over and craps again.

Not really. I'm more likely to find their kids doing a dump on my lawn. When I took that pic he was meant to be chasing a tennis ball, instead I got the "Kodak moment". Sadly the poor old mutt passed on earlier this year, and is up in doggy heaven.
Just hope Irwin isn't there dragging him around by the tail and yelling "crikey, look at this beauty!"

MP - I got my daughter a dog for her 7th birthday (Labrador / Kelpie X - the dog, not the daughter). Best present she could have had. He's a nutcase, so he fits in with the family perfectly. Daughter has taken to believing he's a reincarnation of my ol' dawg.

i used to have a dog that i rescued as a puppy from an abusive household. He was starving when i took him. He was tied up to a fence in thier garden day and night til i could bear it any longer. I basically stole him. That was 14 years ago. He now lives with my brother but has glaucoma (the dog, not the bro) and is profoundly deaf through old age. He is a black lab mixed with a spaniel we believe but cannot be 100% sure. Very energetic and loves the water. And loved beer when he was a young dog but got drunk on just half a pint as he is less than 2 foot tall.

He always was particular about where he would crap. He liked nice well kept lawns in good neighbourhoods, he hated long grass and messy gardens.

My dog's story was similar, MP. I got her when I was inebriated. She was about 8 months old and her farmer / owner had broken her nose when letting fly at her. I got her off an Aussie who'd stolen her from the cocky. We had many happy years together (me and the dog, not me and the Aussie) until I flew her over to Aussie to be with me out working in the bush in WA. She took a dingo-bait (strychnine) and died a horrible death. Bugger.

I caught the last 15 minutes of the memorial service - one of the most moving things I've seen in recent years.

By comparison the public mourning at the death of Diana Princess of Wales was a mawkish display of competitive grieving.

Yes, Irwin was OTT, but what a great ambassador for wild-life. Sad he's gone, but happy that he was here.

To see Steve Irwin on TV was the way did things all the time, He was/is a remakable man, as you stated a great champion for wildlife, it's good he surrounded himself with like minded people, who like him are just as passionate as he was/is. His work will continue for many years, his lovely little daughter Bindi will eventualy carry on this work. She must however, be allowed to be a little girl first, then as time goes by and she grows, take over the mantle of her Dad.
He'll be missed not only here in Oz but all around the world, it's a sad loss to so many.

his wife has been on TV saying that the footage of Steve being killed will never be shown on TV.

There are lots of videos available on P2P networks showing this footage but the TV company have responded saying that there is only one copy and its securely locked. All internet sites claiming that they have the footage for download have false footage on file. I know people who have claimed to have seen it and say its false. I havent seen it and have no wish to.

I Have just watched a very brave woman tell her side of the tradegy that is Steve Irwin's death. The footage of his fatal wound will never see the light of day and the witnesses of this terrible accident are very close friends and colleagues who are of the same mind.
His work will continue in the safe hands of his wife Terri and eventually their daughter Bindi and their son Robert (Bob).
Terri has said that she will make Australia Zoo bigger and better than ever.

Tyler Hamilton is a doglover. When his dog died it virtually knackered his Tour. The dog was called Tugboat and the Hamiltons thought the world of it.
