I nabbed this from the DogWorld website:

DOG PEOPLE both in Australia and round the world are co-operating to provide assistance to those who have been hit by the bush fires which have devastated the state of Victoria and have claimed the lives of breeders, their familes and their dogs.
Efforts are being co-ordinated by the state's canine organisation – Dogs Victoria – and up-to-date details can be found on its website www.dogsvictoria.org.au
Some dog breeders and their animals have been among the many victims of the fires which affected many parts of Victoria especially regions north and east of Melbourne.
Rob and Natasha Davey of the Malindiki Alaskana Malamutes were killed along with their children and dogs.
Malcolm and Faye Park of the Canawindra German Shorthaired Pointers lost all their dogs.
Vivienne and David James of the Barrages Pyrenean Mountain Dogs managed to save one of their dogs but had to be hospitalised with shock and burns.
Many other breeders have lost the houses and all their belongings, but were able to save themselves and their animals.
A typical story is that of Barbara and John Doyle, breeders of the Jarika Boxers.
The fire engulfed their entire property. Mr and Mrs Doyle, their son Simon and their dogs took cover inside the house as the fire passed over them.
After they emerged they spent many hours putting out fires around the veranda and close to the house.

Appeal for funds

They lost their kennels, every building on the property except the house, including all their cars, tractors and fencing and now they face the big problem of burnt cattle carcases at the front of the house.
Others lost their houses, too, though they managd to save their dogs.
Among them were Anne and Ron Sorraghan whose Oldiron Airedale Terriers are internationally famous.
The response from the dog-owning community has been enormous and the Dogs Victoria site contains a long list of people, kennels and catteries who are offering accommodation for those affected as well as their dogs and other livestock.
Essential items such as food, crates, dog bedding and leads are also being offered, as is assistance with transport.
Dogs Victoria is organising an appeal for funds to help affected dog owners and their pets.
If you would like to make a donation you can transfer funds electronically to an account named: Dogs Victoria Bushfire Appeal at Bendigo Bank, BSB 633-000, account number 136225588, swift code BENDAU3B.
In the payment memo, please put your name.
Cheques or money orders can be posted to Locked Bag K9, Cranbourne, VIC 3977. Please note on the cheque that you would like the money put toward the bushfire appeal.
Another way overseas supporters can help is by entering an 'international virtual dog show.'
Entries cost $Aus10 and should be addressed to glentress@bigpond.com
They can be paid for via PayPal. Details are on the Dogs Victoria site.
Even before the fires, Dogs Victoria had decided to cancel one of the state's major shows, the Classic, due to be held last Saturday, owing to the extreme heat.

THE RSPCA is to fund a three-year research project which will create a database of all inherited diseases in dogs and cats.
Mark Evans, the RSPCA's chief veterinary advisor, revealed the plan this week in an interview with DOG WORLD. The project is being co-funded with Sydney University and the Royal Veterinary College.
Mr Evans was speaking to DW after the launch of the charity’s report Pedigree dog breeding in the UK: a major welfare concern? which has as one of its key recommendations the systematic collection of morbidity and mortality data from all dogs.
Kennel Club secretary Caroline Kisko welcomed the news of the three year project, but was concerned by other parts of the RSPCA's report. The scientists who compiled the independent report have called for the registration of pedigree dogs to be made conditional upon both parents undergoing compulsory screening tests for prioritised disorders. Mrs Kisko said that such a scheme is possible if every breeder was part of an accredited breeder scheme, not necessarily the KC’s. However, what the KC would resist was the bar being set at one height for KC-registered dogs while being set at ‘probably non-existent’ for others.

I would be interesed myself knowing how many of our dogs died before their natural lifespan..I would expect most dogs to live past 10 yet there are so many of them who dont so I would like to send out a survey for you all to fill out it would be so interesting if a little upsetting.

Much as mobile phones drive me up the wall they are without doubt a necessity to most dog walkers never mind most business people.  So I thought it would be handy to pass on this info.

Certainly anyone who either walks out and about or rides could benefit from knowing the first one and the rest are just interesing! I am looking forward to try ing out the remote control one on the van with Sam tomorrow!

First useful fact.
The emergency number worldwide is 112
if you are out of coverage and have a real emergency dial 112( this works even if you have locked your keypad )and the mobile will find any existing network to establish the emergency number for you.

Second useful fact( I am just so excited about this I had to send poor Bruce out to try it)
if you have locked your keys in your car and you have a remote to lock and unlock your car you can access it via two mobiles if you have a spare fob.
Heres how it works:
Ring the person with the car and once you ring them get them to hold the phone about a foot away from the car door.  At your end hold the remote up to your mobile and press as normal, hey presto an unlocked car....love this one.

Third useful fact. 
Now Holly needs to know this one..
I'm not sure mine worked so why dont you try. if you battery gets very low activate your hidden battery power by pressing keys *3370# your mobile will restart with this reserve and it will show 50% increase in battery.  This hidden battery is then recharged once you put your phone on charge.  I trieds this one and you have to turn off your mobile then turn it back on so Im not sure if thats what you have to do with yours but hey ho no harm in having a play. 

Fourth useful fact:
Im allfor stopping the thieving swines out there so heres one that will upset them.
Check your mobiles phone serial number key in the folowing digits on your phone:*#06#.
A 15digit code will appear on screen this number is unique to your phone.  Write it down and keep it safe and if it is ever stolen notify your service provider and not only will it stop them using your phone even if they change the SIM card the phone will be completely useless!  Ha ha it worke
