... coming home from work today at about 7:30pm I found both my dogs had escaped under the fence of the house.
I live in Thornlie along Yale road.
both dogs are Akita's, 1 male and 1 female. The boy's name is Yogi, he's dark brown in colour, is wearing a blue leather collar with silver metal studs on it.
The female is called Kayla, she has a black face, and a white/sable coloured body. She's wearing a orange/pink sort of coloured collar.
Both dogs are micro-chipped.. Being late I've tried everything I can to find them. Knocked on neighbors doors, called the local security patrols, went down to the local pound to check out the photo board.
I'm going to find some photo's to post up of the 2 of them..
if anyone see's them, has them, know's who has them, could you please call me on 0405 329 036.
Thanks everyone for your help.

Parks shape up for summer
as posted on COGsite
The City’s Parks and Environment team is working on an intensive two-month maintenance program to get local parks and reserves in top shape for summer.
Throughout September and October, the team will be out in force spraying weeds, fertilising, vertimowing and repairing turf, as well as top dressing Tom Bateman, Sutherlands Park F and Harmony Fields sports reserves.
City staff recently joined the Maddington Kenwick Sustainable Communities Partnership and Community Leadership Network (CLN) for a tree planting day at the recently upgraded Packer Park in Kenwick.
Some 1000 native trees were planted by local volunteers and students to enhance the refurbished park, which now features a new playground and gazebo, seating, paving and turf. Barbecues are expected to be installed next year.
To find out more about parks, sports grounds, bushland reserves or leisure groups in the City of Gosnells, visit the website www.gosnells.wa.gov.au or call 9391 3222.

Targa rally revs up
as posted on WAToday
John Chan
The Targa West rally revved up at Forrest Place this morning as a field of 85 cars crossed the ceremonial starting line.
The cars will compete against time in racing arenas and special stages made from closed-off public roads.
The road closures will mainly affect the streets of Perth's hills where areas of Kalamunda, Gosnells, Mundaring and Armadale will host some of the fastest driving legally allowed on Perth's roads.
The rally has become one of Australia's premier tarmac racing events, along with the Classic Adelaide and Targa Tasmania.
It has attracted some of the biggest names in Australian rally driving, along with the best cars in the country.
It has also become the premier amateur motorsport event in WA.
Australian racing legend Peter Brock was a competitor in the 2006 Targa West rally.
He died when his car hit a tree during the event.
The rally will finish on Sunday.

Brierty set for $40m earthworks project
as posted on WABusinessNews
Maddington-based civil contractor Brierty Ltd has signed a letter of intent with iron ore miner Fortescue Metals Group for further major earthworks at its port development at Port Hedland in the Pilbara.
Contract documentation is being prepared and is expected to be finalised later this month.
The work is set to begin this month also and is due to be completed in June 2009, with a total value of about $40 million.
Brierty chairman Dalton Gooding said the Port Hedland contract win was a major boost for the company, which had posted a full-year net loss of $1.3 million after downgrading its profit twice in its first year of listing on the stock market.
The company, which floated on the market in December 2007, had said the loss included the one-off listing expense of $5.1 million.
The scope of works to be conducted at Port Hedland includes the construction of new bunds, the widening of the causeway and the relocation of dredge fill for a new stockpile area.
Mr Gooding said the major earthworks project represents a continuation of Brierty's relationship with FMG, with the company already undertaking major earthworks at the port development and previously having constructed 90 kilometres of formation earthworks on the FMG rail project.
"This is further evidence of our ability to deliver quality work, certainty and value for our clients," Mr Gooding said.
In July, Brierty won a $33 million contract to provide services to FMG after reaching an agreement for the stripping of overburden at Fortescue's flagship Cloudbreak mine in the Pilbara.
Brierty previously worked on Fortescue's rail line that connects Cloudbreak to Port Hedland, and undertook major earthworks at Fortescue's Herb Elliott port development.

Gosnells substation

Communications monopole
Western Power has installed a communications monopole at the Gosnells zone substation, which is located on the corner of Walter and Crandon streets (PDF 258kb). The monopole provides an essential communication link between the Gosnells and Southern River substations and ensures the quality and reliability of power in the area.
Fence improvement
To improve the security of the substation and to reduce noise a combination of palisade fence and solid wall will replace the existing fence. Before construction of the palisade fence can commence, a temporary security fence must first be installed beyond the perimeter of the property boundary. Some vegetation clearing will be carried out before the temprary fence can be constructed.
Managing the visual impact
As part of our ongoing strategy to engage with the community, Western Power will be undertaking significant improvement work at our Gosnells substation to reduce the impact of the substation on the local community.
Facts at a glance
* Western Power is upgrading communications at the Gosnells zone substation.
* Western Power will install a communications monopole in accordance with Western Australia Planning Commission conditions.
* The communications monopole is a vital piece of infrastructure that will provide a communications link between the Gosnells and the Southern River substation.
* This upgrade will improve security of electricity supply to Gosnells and help to meet growing demand for power in the area.
* Following the upgrade landscaping and vegetation screening will be undertaken in consultation with the City of Gosnells.
* The monopole has been approved for Western Power's use only.
* The services provided by the pole cannot be provided via a landline. An underground cable option was considered but the extra cost of $654,000 was not viable.

Man might not walk again after police chase
as posted on TheWest
A 32-year-old Bunbury man may never walk again, after he allegedly stole a car and fell to the ground while running from police in the southern suburb of Maddington last night.
Sergeant Greg Lambert said police were on patrol about midnight when they saw a stolen Mazda sedan near a service station on Kelvin Road. Police allege the car was displaying number plates that had been altered with a pen.
Sgt Lambert said the car drove away from police and stopped in the driveway of a house in a nearby street.
“The driver ran away from the car and as he jumped over a fence, he fell and landed on his head,” he said.
“He immediately complained of breaking his neck and was unable to move his legs.”
The man was taken by ambulance to Royal Perth Hospital where he was diagnosed with a broken C5 vertebra.
Doctors told police the man may never walk again.
Police said inquiries were continuing into stolen property allegedly found in the car.
Police will wait until the man is treated for his injuries before he is interviewed.
