Kyle knows how to swin, but he cant float to save his life...I wonder if that's true of dogs too? :-?

we'll just have to agree to disagree. And as much as we disagree, I am simply saying I am tired (as is everyone else I think) of the continual sniping that has been going on here....be it by guests, or members posing as guests. I too hope that was just a joke. :roll:

[quote name='Mutt_Lady'][quote name='courtnek'] Kyle (son) the dogs are easier to get along with...(teenager)[/quote] *LOL* I couldn't have said it better myself. Right now, me and my fianc

Freebee - rescued half Lab/ half German Shorthair Pointer - all attitude... Laurel - rescued Purebred Foxhound. Hunted for the first six years of her life, a pack dog. Not socialzed with people...I'm working on it. PushyCat - his name says it all. Kyle (son) the dogs are easier to get along with...(teenager) :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

hug them both for me, and tell them they have truly helped perform a miracle. I hope all the puppies find good homes, with loving families like your parents. :angel: :angel:

let me throw another log on the fire..... dogs are NOT wolves, wolves are NOT dogs. However, back in the way-begone-days, wolves CHOSE (there is no evidence they were forced. by all the records they CHOSE) to come live with US. They realized that our fires, and our food, and our companionship was much more to their liking then cold, starvation and death. They didnt have to do that. No one made them do it. Dogs, like people, (well, most people anyway) are gregarious and sociable. They realized early on that pack living helped them survive. So nature provided them with the means to be sociable, to live together, to develop rules to live by (pack rules) that benefited them all. Nothing in nature is haphazard. This is an animal who, by nature, requires a sociable, pack environment. Come today...most people (HF excepted, of course... :lol: :lol: ) dont have dog "packs" in their homes. But the dog is still a pack animal. He has allowed his people to become his "pack"...In a real pack, wolves left outside of the pack "family" die. They are outcasts. I did a thesis on wolves in college, and while alot of the thinking has changed, this piece has not. Dogs still require their family to be their pack. They are loving, sociable animals. Unlike wild cats, they are not meant to live alone. So chain them out? no human contact" they want to live outdoors? maybe, if their family pack was outdoors with them. Dogs make great camping companions. But alone. outside, by themselves? No. they prefer to be in, where their family is. I have a huge, fenced yard. They could both live out there indefinitely. Do they want to? No. If I'm not out there with them, they will play for a while, and then want in. With me. If I'd stay out there with them 24/7 I'm sure they'd be ok. Theres two of them, they are not alone. They still want in.

geez, Shara, the next time you need a tire let me know. I have probably SEVEN of them in my back yard!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: My kids a gear head...I have tires, bicycle frames, dirt biles, lawn tractors, you name it, it's in my yard or shed or garage....I wouldnt even charge you for it. I just want to get rid of them!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Oh Izzy....I am SOOO sorry, both for you and the pup. It's obvious how much you care, wanting to give the poor thing a dignified and painless way out....thank God for people like you. If I'm ever in Mexico, I would love to come by and shake your hand. Katy

I agree with you Roo, this is getting really ridiculous.... to all of you people who want to invade our site and be nasty abusive and insulting, GO ELSEWHERE. WE DONT WANT YOU HERE... :agrue:

well, I guess there IS one about food. I never heard of that one... heres the link for the book [url]http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1558747109/104-1564995-8443167?v=glance[/url] and heres the one for the food [url]http://www.chickensoupforthepetloverssoul.com/[/url]

It's one of a series that started with "chicken soup for the soul"...it's not really about food, but about emotional crises that can be handled without drugs and such. It's kinda like an inner-mind revelation, about how to handle day to day problems with "chicken soup"...it was always an old wives tail that chicken soup would help cure a cold, until it was discovered that the cooking of the soup actually released natural chemicals that WOULD help fight off a cold. I havent read the books, but my guess would be the one for dogs is also a revelation of natural handling and emotional things.

what was THAT all about? While I dont always agree with Primrose either, this particular post was not demeaning, menacing or even slightly bad..... and by the way. STALKING IS NOT ALLOWED HERE.... :evil:

thanks SOOO much everyone!!! :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: Honestly, I dont think it's me, I think it's THEM....Laurel is so gentle, and still a little timid, but she has her moments. Freebee is so full of herself, but with Laurel's "guidance" has chilled out a lot. I think they're training each other. I'm just "supervising"..... :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: I'm glad you all think we three are doing a good job... 8)

why? I think it rocks!! theres a grooming place by where I work called "Chez Paws"....I always thought that was cute. for anyone who may not know, "Chez Paul's" is an exclusive, expensive french restaurant (my french is a little rusty, I think it means "Paul's House) so Paws House is kinda cute.... :D :D
