Queen Bitch

I don't even want to think about what he next "tuff guy" breed will be. :x Chihuahua maybe? Instead of one dog, all the tuff "macho" guys will have a pack of them and they will just swarm the other dogs or people like a school of piranah....

Rottnpit, you summed up what I was going to say quite nicely about the boxer issue. I too don't see Slim's logic of not going where there are APBTs , when it was the boxer that started it in the first place.

Oh Shara, I am sorry. There isn't really much more that I can say that hasn't been said already. Our thoughts are with you.

Yeah, it's not like there is that much good "scenery" on tv these days, and then when there is, such a beautiful talented man tragically loses his life. Not fair. :(

He died. I think it was a horse riding accident, but I'm not sure. *his name was Kevin Smith I believe...

My dad seems somewhat interested in teaching our Samoyed , Conar to skijour, but this past winter was for all intents and purposes, snowless. There is always next year.

Yes he was K. He probably doesn't look too good now though... :(

Well if you would have said something a week and a half ago, I would have been able to sneak myself into my friend's luggage seeing as how he went to your neck of the woods on vacation.

Oh and for the rest of you , the Beargrease starting point is only about 2 miles away from my house. I missed the start of it last time. :(

I'll show up for the Beargrease and be your Dogo cheerleader. :multi: (and big neener neener to the rest of you who won't get to see Pumpkin and the pooches fly off the starting line! :lol: )

No K you aren't sorry at all. You just don't want to share the bully love. Meanie. :bigcry:

Well K if you send Cym to me I can take care of that for you.... :angel:

Ok so I am not the only one whose younger wild child dog grew up after the older one was gone. Ivan used to run off for hours if he accidentally got outside without the leash. After Phyllis passed away, Ivan turned into a "real" dog, he go no further than 10 or 15 feet away from us outside and would actually obey!

Greyhound?!?!?? WTF?

Yay! You still pretty much get to "keep" him, he's still in the family!

Court, Freebee sounds a lot like me... :o Conar would be hanging out with Ben in the other recliner drinking beer in his robe and argueing with Ben about who would get up to get the next one. But this would be after he went for his daily stroll around the block, in the winter that is, he is a Samoyed after all. If it was summer he'd be bitching at Ben to get the F*%&ing air conditioner fixed, after all he's not from round these parts. Bean, the niece pit, would be the very shy mellow girl sitting in the corner by herself. That is unless one of her several boyfriends, that had taken the time to draw her out of her shell, were around. Then she'd be a huge flirt. She would have a couple close female friends, but in general be a loner.

I've heard of people practicing "offlead" recalls with fishing line tied to the dogs collar. I guess the theory is they can't see it because it is so fine. They just think that you have THAT MUCH POWER. Anyone ever tried that?

I have a couple things to throw in. If she chews through leather/nylon leashes and occasionally breaks chains, perhaps you could always double leash her? As in attaching one chain leash and one leather/nylon to her collar every time. At least that way if she chews though there is still the chain and vice versa. And so she doesn't get caught betweeen the two, bind them to each other with electrical/duct tape? Does this make sense to anyone but me? ( I just got back from work :drinking: . And I believe somone touched on this as well, but you mentioned that she gets better and then relapses, you also mentioned that it is when you are particularly stressed. If you and she are very close, she's probably being bad because she's stressed out because you are.

Watch out for K! She might try to convince you that you should send him to her, he is part Saint after all. He is soooooooo cute! Dexter for a name maybe?

awwwwwwwww BK I'm sorry. :cry:

Hmm Behle, maybe he won't find it if you hide it in the crisper drawer in the fridge? Just a thought.

Ack! I can't decide! I'm fond of both the ones I suggested! But I will compliment you on your good taste though MM.

Stewart Anthony? Stewart Michael? Phyllis was Phyllis Ophelia , even though Ophelia was just her full first name. It was really easy for her to get out of trouble though, all she had to do was flash that Dalmatian smarl.

Dang it, Mag beat me to the punch of posting the Catahoula sites. I am so in love with Catahoulas it's not even funny. They are soooooo gorgeous.

So today I filled out an application to volunteer at my local shelter. I swear you guys are a bad influence! :lol: I'll get to play with puppies! Yay!
