http://www.freewebs.com/novaxx/   This is a Perth based website that addresses the issue of dog vaccinations.  It is an attempt to raise dog owners' awareness of what is involved when 'booster' vaccinations are given.  This site grew from the concern of one PPCUG member who learned too late what veterinary researchers have known for decades.  It is an attempt to dissuade other dog owners from following a cavalier approach to re-vaccination and instead to equip themselves with the relevant information for making a fully informed decision about the health care of their dog.
 
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Aussiek9companions/?yguid=209110856   This is a new Yahoo discussion group for seriously responsible and thinking dog owners in Australia.  It is a forum for discussing issues of concern that impact on the health, wellbeing and behavior of dogs which are kept as companions in our society.  The Group's description can be found on the Homepage.

http://www.friendsreunited.co.uk/ - I thought this link might be of interest to our ex pom members. I found it a few days ago and have not only made contact so far with 2 school friends and my first teenage sweetheart, but also discovered that one of my friends is the father of the film star "Thandi Newton"
Their database lists over 40,000 UK schools and 2.5 million people have registered and it is growing at the rate of 20,000 a day. It doesn't cost anything to find friends, but they charge a 5 pound a year membership, to enable you to actually contact people, a small price for the pleasure in being able to make contact with long lost friends.
