oh thanks guys, I just typed in "weird avatars" in google, picked a site, and I saw this one. Though it may be more appropriate for Kiwi. :wink: :wink: :wink:

I wholeheartedly agree with Guest and Courtnek on this! Testing on animals (though I do not like to think about it, and could never personally do it) for what I would term necessary means ie. finding a cure for cancer, AIDS, etc. is acceptable to me. Testing shampoos, makeup, dishwashing liquid is NOT. :evil: If anyone is interested here's a link to a list of companies who do test on animals: [url]http://www.allforanimals.com/cruel1.htm[/url] Here's a list that don't: [url]http://www.allforanimals.com/cruelfree1.htm[/url] ps. I don't know how current these lists are. :wink:

Dunno HF, I didn't see anything like that. But then again I am rather off with the fairies today. :P Nice site :wink: .

Scotty_lvr, we are a fairly friendly board judging from the several other similar forums I have seen. Many here are involved with animal welfare/breed rescue etc and the amount of dogs put to sleep is not only sickening and saddening but a constant source of frustration. a lot of it IS education, or lack thereof. there are not enough people being educated about the overpopulation crisis in shelters and too many myths still abound about the desexing of pets. DP and Aroura have made some excellent points, as has Roxy. this is a forum where we voice our opinions, some not as popular as others but there are strong personalities on here as you may well have guessed. We don't always agree with guests and we disagree amongst ourselves too. If you've been offended, sorry, but that's the way most forums operate! 8)

What great news!!!! CONGRATS!!!!! :D

Ooooh I would be so tempted to get one... :P There is a pub here called Finbar's... don't know if you want to name your dog after a pub though. :oops: For a girl Penny Lane is really cute. :D

Great photo and article! lily is just soooo cute. :D

[quote name='Aroura']Or when you're at a dog park and some one walks through with their dog on lead and gets angry and yells to put your dog on a lead when your dog goes up to say hello. Some people are just stupid, there's no other word for it :-?[/quote] I second that. :roll: :roll: :roll: don't worry mate, unfortunately there are many idiots in the world and you happened to have a run-in with one of them! :) Reminds me of the time Dad and I were walking BK, on lead, in the street (on the footpath) and this girl riding her bike with her german shepherd OFF LEAD were coming from the opposite (and wrong) side of the road and she told ME to move MY dog off the footpath because her dog doesn't like other dogs! *huge rolleyes* For starters, 1. riding a bike on the footpath is illegal and 2. having a dog off lead and not in an off lead park illegal and 3. an aggressive dog should be controlled by the owner, to me that doesn't mean you can ride around with your dog and yell at people to clear off. I told her to jam her bike where it won't fit and she just glowered at me (but she moved lol). BTW BK was very well behaved, he just ignored the other dog. Sometimes he can be such an angel. :D

Great informative posts as always from goo, rott, courtnek et al. :D

Chin up mate!! Bad things seem to happen all at once, but it can probably only get better from here. :wink: Good luck with everything ok? :angel:

I hope everything works out this time Courtnek. Hey, do you reckon we put a curse on you by wishing you good luck? :-? If I instead wish you bad luck, will you get the doggy? :wink:

Is it the designer dogs on there eg. goldendoodle? The first time I did the quiz there were no dogs that matched my choices so I had to do it again. :roll:

My first Pit sighting was on Saturday afternoon as we were driving back from my sister's house. I only saw it from the car, but I am fairly sure it was a Pit from all the pics you guys have put up. It looked a bit like Gizmo (for everyone who remembers Gizmo)- a red-nose ABPT. I was pretty excited- they are virtually banned here. :x Beautiful dog- I wish I had my camera!! :D

:evil: :evil: :evil: What a prick. He'd be lucky he didn't get a punch in the face from me if he did that to my dog. :evil: I thought you were MOST restrained!!! There's probably not a lot you could have done, other than what you did. I think the guy was [color=red]asking[/color] to be bitten, personally. But then we'd all know how that would go :roll: and you'd probably be sued and your baby put to sleep. :evil:

Awww she's pretty damn cute!!! Congrats on your new family member! :angel:

:evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: Of course the dog has to suffer for it, NOT the parents who OBVIOUSLY have NO CLUE about dogs OR children. Some people should a) not be allowed to procreate and b) not be allowed to own animals. :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: Oh and yeah, in the first link, let's quote some OTHER pit bull misdemeanours from almost 20 years ago while we're at it to really slam home the fact that they are ALL vicious dogs. :roll: :roll: :roll:

[color=blue][size=7]Happy Birthday Jackie!!!![/size][/color] :bday: :bday: :bday: :bday: :bday: :bday:

What a little fighter!!! Go Quentin! :angel: God I wish they would stop gassing dogs. Put them to sleep humanely if you have to. :evil:

Way to go Rowie!!!! Well done!!! :bday:

No doggie door (that's ok, bk can chew his way though the door if he wants to come in :D) but I am seriously wanting mum to get a cat door for Lily. You know when they get right up to the door (from outside) and cry to come in, then when you open the door they run away? And then repeat it 10 times as if it's a game? Heh. that's what lily does. :roll: :lol:

I don't have any advice to offer (other than the already excellent opinions given). You're in a really tricky spot. Best of luck with what you decide is the best option for Roxy and yourself. :cry:
