:cry: I've read this somewhere before and I always bawl like a baby,...its such a beautiful story. People who work in rescue really are Angels.

Welcome to the group pets4ever! We're a pretty fiery bunch around here and the discussions get a little heated sometimes,but opinions are always welcome and our moderators are great at intervening in the event of an all out riot :wink:

How much are they there? (British Bulldogs)....they run about $1200 here.....although I have a friend that does Bulldog rescue and I think they only charge $200-$400 .....not even enough to cover vet expense and food.

Hehe...can't WAIT to see that! Hey...since he's custom making it,tell him to make it large enough for two or three more....gotta save room for the Boerboel,the Mastiff,the Bernese....etc etc... :lol:

LOL K...you NEED a Suburban with those Saints of yours :wink: ...BTW,I just saw your avatar on Maniac...is that Bobbi??? She is wayyy too cute. Bet you have a hard time saying No to THAT face!

Ask and ye shall receive........here ya go....one Boxer K9 coming up.... [img]http://members.aol.com/Usabox/k9.jpg[/img] try checking out this link Deep...you'll probably find more good info there on working Boxers... [url]http://members.aol.com/Usabox/[/url]

LOL...my mom used to have 2 Pekes,and they literally look like dustmops with eyes (very very large eyes) .Apparently the Chinese emperor originally used the breed to guard the palace (my guess is that they used to be MUCH larger,and have been bred down to the toy dog we know today)....My mom's Pekes THOUGHT they were big dogs though.Very bold and assertive and yes....YAPPY :wink:

I hope for Lily's sake ,it is nothing serious :(

Hurry back Hazel!! and don't forget to come visit us all on the other site as well!!!! Good luck with your move :D

Congrats and big hugs to Lily :D

[quote name='Aroura'] Lily makes up for it by eating 4 -5 cups per day, a whole chicken carcass, eggs, pureed carrots, table scraps and the list goes on and she never puts on any weight! :-?[/quote] WOW...that IS a lot!...how old is she??? Loki is 18 months...INCREDIBLY healthy (according to his vet) and he only eats 5 cups of premium grade kibble + a cup of rice OR cottage cheese a day....are you sure they're the same breed??? :wink:

So sorry to hear about Goober's passing :( . It is surely a comfort to you knowing you made the last year of his life a happy and love filled one ! Fragile Circle... "We who choose to surround ourselves with lives even more temporary than our own, live within a fragile circle, easily and often breached. Unable to accept its awful gaps, we still would live no other way. We cherish memory as the only certain immortality, never fully understanding the necessary plan." Irving Townsend.

[quote name='hazelhover']I guess I need to read some other posts... vote?[/quote] click the link in the first post, it will bring you to the voting page :D

Awwww! Matilda's quite the poser :lol: .....I voted too....you're still ahead by 2%....good luck :wink:

heehee,K Oh and you forgot to mention that [b]your[/b] "puppy" is SUPPOSED to be the size of a Volkswagon by the time he's full grown :lol:

I ran across this page on a Boxer site...it seems to have some good BARF info... [url]http://www.njboxers.com/faqs.htm[/url]

[quote name='eggrolyn'] She can't go outside to pee because my grandma won't allow it, :([/quote] :o Ok, I'm confused about THIS statement....do you mean she won't EVER allow the dog to go outside to pee? I sure hope not because if this is a Lab puppy,it is going to grow to be a LARGE,very active dog. Are you not planning on taking her out for frequent walks??? (That is no life for a dog that size...or any size for that matter),and ummmm...do you really WANT to train a breed the size of a lab to "go potty" IN the house??...I really don't mean to lecture, because maybe this is normal where you are from, but INCONVENIENCE should never be an excuse or even an ISSUE when it comes to the proper care of your pets...when you buy a dog,you take on that responsibility....I have a large dog, AND I live in an apartment.Six or seven times a day I trek down 2 flights of stairs to take him out to relieve himself and get some exercise....doesn't matter if I don't FEEL like it...or if the weather is bad...it is MY job as a pet owner...bottom line! I sincerely hope I'm just misunderstanding your post... :-? Please correct me if I misread...

[quote name='deepseasnake']ohhh [b]d*** [/b]where was I for this thread...you guys really need to PM me or something if I dont respond to a "guest" thread fast enough[/quote] Hmmmm, but would that not be considered equivalent to unleashing an attack dog on an "intruder" ? :wink: :lol:

Aaaaargh!...here's the article from reuters,courtesy of "oddnews" : Dog Freezer Lands In Jail LONDON - A British dog breeder who kept the corpses of dead puppies in her freezer to later thaw them out and make bogus insurance claims on them has been sentenced to 18 months in jail, British newspapers reported. The 52-year-old woman kept the puppies in labeled plastic bags in her fridge-freezer among her frozen groceries, the tabloid Daily Mail reported. The paper said she used the animals' corpses to make false insurance claims worth around $785 each, presenting the defrosted corpses as proof of her claim along with false veterinary certificates. The woman had also claimed 1,000 pounds from an insurance company saying an aggressive Yorkshire Terrier dog had scared her pet parrot to death, it said. She admitted to 23 charges of fraud over seven years and was caught after an anonymous tip-off to police.

[quote name='julie45'][b] did any one else see it. :evil: [/b][/quote] nope...and by the sounds of it, I'm SO glad I didn't! Stuff like that burns me almost as much as babies being abandoned in dumpsters (which unfortunately seems to be happening a LOT these days) :evil: :evil: :evil: honestly...what is WRONG with SOME people???!!! :x

Just a few heartwarming reunion stories that border on miraculous... [url]http://www.dogsinthenews.com/issues/0208/articles/020814b.htm[/url]

They were discussing this on another list that I'm part of and apparently CNN broadcast clips from the tapes that showed the Al Qaeda (sp?) soldiers testing these poisonous gases on dogs,with the intent of using them in future terrorist attacks against people :( :cry: :x It never ceases to amaze me how "people aggressive" humans actually are...

LOL...nope, no odor...just doggy breath;)

:o Charlotte........like I said, I can't vouch for EVERYONE :roll: [size=2]pssssst....beware of deepseasnake!!! he is a blood thirsty, paw driven maniac! If you stand very still, and don't make direct eye contact he will likely just go away...tread very carefully[/size] :lol: :lol: :lol: run along now deep, I think you're a tad bit overdue for those meds :wink:

Loki NEVER barks....except at the vacuum :roll: .....he whines if he wants something, and on a couple of occasions he has growled (when he felt I was being threatened). I had him 3 weeks before I ever heard him make a SOUND...I was seriously beginning to wonder if there was something wrong with his vocal chords.....lol Oh gawd, and I can TOTALLY relate to the bed thing.........his favorite spot is under the covers, snuggled between my husband and I, with his big drooly head on my pillow :-?
