Why was Australia such a popular spot for Maltese?

Malta was under British rule and, although granted independance in 1947, argued about it until 1964. During that time, Maltese people were effectively British citizens and had the same rights regarding migration to Australia as other Brits. Malta was heavily bombed during WWII and at the end of the war had many displaced and homeless people. Consequently, a great many decided to migrate here as they qualified as "ten pound Poms". Migration from other European countries such as Italy and Greece was easy enough in the 1950s but it was easier still from Malta.

Medical Neglect? Whats Wrong? What should I do?

2 days ago I got out of bed and as soon as my left foot hit the floor I got a searing pain clean up my leg. The more I attempted to walk on it the worse it got. I have been taking tylenol and tramadole for the pain but neither are helping so I finally decided to go to the doctor today. I went to a quick care facility as soon as my husband got home from work. After they took 30mins to get me checked in I went back to the room where I spoke with 2 MAs about what was wrong, allergies and so on. Then the Doctor came in and did a very brief exam (less than 2 mins) then started giving me crap about how they close at 9 and it was 8:50. So she would have to see if an xray tech was still there because again they close at 9. The xray tech came and got me mins. later. As soon as I got back to the room the Doctor came in and said that because the pharmacy closes at 9 she went ahead and got me a prescription of ibuprofen, however I am highly allergic to motrin and anything that has motrin in it. Which sadly enough was in my file so she clearly didnt take the time to look at my file. She then prescribes me tamadole which I had already told her and the MA I had taken it and it wasnt helping either. Then she told me that my xrays were fine and that there was nothing wrong with the bone and the problem MIGHT BE tendenitis but she wasnt sure and suggested physical theropy which I turned down. I tried asking her a couple of questions about my foot such as if it would get better and when would the pain subside and if it would be better if I tried to putting presure on it. She told me she didnt know if it would get better or not. She wasnt concerned at all she was just to worried about getting off work she was more concerned about getting off work then my case. So now I am seeking Medical and Legal advice Is this medical neglect? And a lilttle side note because I know thatI will get some kiind of comment on it so before hand. NO I am not a drug addict and then was not a ploy for narcotics. I am in server pain and suffer thorough it daily I can only walk if I hobble ever where to do it. And I know that It sounds bad that I turned down physical theropy but im not going to waste time and money to take physical theorpy for tendenitis when shes not even sure thats what it is.

What breed of dog is fitting for me and my lifestyle?

I would look at a local rescue that fosters their dogs, as that will give you more insight into the personality and energy level of the dogs. The older the dog is, the more of its personality and energy level you will know - puppies can surprise you, while a young adult dog (or even older puppy) will have more established personality and energy levels. Please keep in mind that even little dogs that can be held are still dogs, and still need exercise and structure. Depending on what you mean by "treat my baby like a princess/prince" (you could mean the best of food, beds, etc., or you could mean holding them all the time), you are likely to run into problems if you spoil any size dog with constant attention. Further, you may have trouble adopting (or even buying) a dog if you come across as wanting to baby them instead of treat them as dogs. Also keep in mind that more and more places are dog friendly, so traveling with a medium or large dog is now easier. Dogs (generally speaking) require more time than space, so if you are up to providing adequate exercise where you live now and where you will move to, a medium (or even large) dog may also be an option, although considering your boyfriend's dog it may be wise to choose a smaller dog. I have a rescue dog myself, and I think that rescued dogs are aware and grateful for the second chance. I would also be clear with the rescue group that this is your first dog, as many rescues and shelters have systems where they classify dogs as being "easier" (for first time dog owners) and "more difficult" (for people who have experience dealing with problems). Don't be shy about sharing what you have here with a rescue group - the right group will be happy to work with you. I wish you the best of luck in finding the right dog for you.

We currently have a 5 yr old maltese shih tzu mix, and are planning on purchasing a golden retriver puppy. Our?

we will be moving into a new house recently purchased and want to add the puppy asap. My logic is that our dog is very territorial and to be honest not very friendly to people other than my very close family. He has grown up around other small dogs and get along for the most part, but I feel if we get the puppy as soon as move into new place, he wont have time to claim his territory. Also him being a male(is fixed) is it better if we buy a female puppy or another male?

Why am I not losing weight consuming 1000 calories a day?

That's probably what it is..Im on the Robert Ferguson's Food Lovers Fat Loss System, and the literature in it states that too much sodium can cause you to retain water, which adds weight..Then again, if you are eating more calories, without burning anymore than usual, that could cause you to faulter as well. If you don't burn more calories a day than you eat, then your body has no choice but to store them as fat. That's why I, personally, prefer to work out at night and burn off my excess from the day.
