I give Zebra Solid Gold...and he LOVES it! :)

Zebra only has dew claws on his front feet. None on the back. The only time I have ever heard of people removing the dew claws was if they stuck out ( I think some breeds the dew claws stick out more than other breeds). Or if they got torn. I would never think about removing Zebra's dew claws because he uses them so often, for holding on to things, and for running. I feel like front dew claws are like Thumbs on people, I wouldn't know what to do If I didn't have them.

Aww what? Come on guys there has to be someone who wants to adopt this umm one of a kind dog! It needs love just like every other dog. :lol:

Sounds like you had a great time. I also love the trainer at Petsmart, she is wonderful! And everytime we are there with Zebra she uses him as an example to show all the other people how to train there dogs. :P Oh my best friend has a CAT that they named D-O-G!! :lol: :roll:

:lol: I love this comic...they also have a rabbit in the strip too so I like it even more. But My fave comic strip has to be 'Marmaduke', I've cut out so many from the news papers and put then on the refrigerator. :roll:

Courtnek- these people don't even deserve to go to hell. They don't deserve anything but pain and suffering. :evil: :x These "people" desgust me and makes me ashamed that i'm even part of the Human race.

My neighbor is looking for a good home for a very special dog. He said it's really lovable and friendly with the kids, but his wife says the dog makes her nervous when it stares at her and she wants it out of the house. > > > > > > > > > > > > [img]http://by8fd.bay8.hotmail.msn.com/cgi-bin/getmsg?curmbox=F000000001&a=dd2f7c8d1fbba1a120dca770c8b49c4b&msg=MSG1065496560.54&start=1166872&len=60925&mimepart=10[/img] Anyone want to adopt him?? :lol:

Um...well uhh....that is a mighty looking pit bull :-? . It looks like it's about to attack at any moment. What were these people :drinking: when they decided it was a pit? :lol:

Zebra's favorite toy is a squeeky hippo..it's a nubby/wooly type of fabric and he LOVES it. He will bring it up to us when he wants to play and either wants us to throw it so he can catch it or to play tug-o-war with it. So far we have gone threw about 6 of these hippos because he always tears an ear off or some other body part. :roll: His other favorite toy is a Kong..and that's just because he loves food and will do anything to get it out of the kong. :lol:

[b]They Just took Senor Guapo!!!!!!![/b] I was outside checking on him before I went to bed and the animal control truck pulled up in front of my house at One In the F-Ing Morning!! 1:00am! Can you bloody believe that! Well not only did they come at such a god forsaken hour but he manhandled Senor!!! I don't think this animal conrol officer could have cared less if Senor was hurt or not!! :evil: :x When they pulled up I was petting Senor on the face! So what does the evil Bastard of an animal controll officer do?! He bloody muzzles him! Oh my dog! Then when the dog starts to kick he yells at him "Oh no! your not gunna bite me! Not with the kinda day I had!"...what?! With the kinda day you had?! I don't give a rats arse if he had to deal with rabbid dogs all day long at least he wasn't hit by a car and at least he could walk! Ok so then this AC "officer" get the control sick and says "well he is walking he looks fine to me"....Aggh! He was only walking because the Freakin guy was pulling him! So then he drags Senor down the stairs and shoves him into a cage and leaves! Oh ...arg! I'm soooo furiously mad right now! And my mom is like "it's ok mel". No it's not bloody well ok! That dog is a damn good dog and even when we were trying to get him up the stairs to the porch he NEVER once growled at us! Aghh! If that guy wants to manhandle something I suggest he go work for the county jail! Oh I wish I could just... :chainsaw1: :2gunfire: :snipersmile: :eviltongue: :madgo: :bad-words: that supid Animal control officer.

Oh Lordy! What a day!!! Ok..let me recap..went to jury duty and didn't get home till 5:45. Well to get home I have to walk a block from the bus stop. Well I was half way home when I see zebra outside lying in the middle of the sidewalk. I thought this very funny since there were many children around zebra and all the kids where on bikes and I know Zebra HATES bikes. Well getting closer to home I see that there is no leash attached to zebra and neither of my parents are ouside. So at this point I'm in full panic mode wondering why zebra is outside not on a leash. Well I run across the street and stop dead in my tracks. The kids all point at the dog and say that they found him. Only then did I relize that it was NOT zebra but another dog that looks very similar to him. Oh my dog I nearly had a heartattack in the middle of the sidewalk. Oh I was soo relived that it wasn't zebra! Well anyways all the kids tell me that this stray dog is hurt...so I walk up to it and start speaking to it very nicely and stick my hand out so he could smell it. Well he takes a sniff and lies back down. All the while these kids are riding there bikes around in circles around the dog and I. So I tell them all (about 6 kids in all) to stop riding the bike and stand away from the dog and DO NOT TRY TO PET IT! Oh lord! These kids are stupid (sorry that may sound harsh but it's the truth). Ok so then the kids tell me that he might have been hit by a car because he is walking "funny". So then I get real worried because a stray dog with an injury is never predictable or safe. So I tell all the kids to move away, again! ANd I told one of the boys to go get my dad so he could get me a water bowl and food. Well my dad throws this BIG stink about me getting Bit by this dog and how it's not safe! Well duh! It's not like I was putting my hand in it's mouth or anything! Sheesh Ok so then I get some water and this dog is soooooo thirsty that he drinks half the bowl. And I give him a few treats witch he sniffs at and leaves on the ground. Well I wanted to get him off of the sidewalk so a safer place and so I coxed him onto the lawn..which isn't any safer but oh well. Well after a few mins he decided that he dosn't want to lie on the grass anymore and lies in the middle of the driveway....right as my mom is getting home. SO my mom backs up the driveway and the dog runs out of the way..and my mom pulls up next to me asking me why I don't have zebra on a leash! Then she relized it was a stray that LOOKED like Zebra. Well we finally got the stray in the back yard with MUCH coxing with food and water...this poor dog would bearly walk. At this time it's appox. 6:30 so we call the humane society and they are closed!! :x Closed at 6 Bloody 30! So then we call the SPCA...and they are closed! So we have to call the god awful animal contol! Uhh...who are the worst and put all the dogs the catch to sleep. Well I didn't just want to leave the stray out there so I stayed with hiim and he let me pet him and scratch his belly. He is kinda shy but very nice. Well Animal control said they would be there by 11...oh great so that means that i have to stay outside and watch the dog untill they come. Well while waiting I was looking at him closely and his ears seem to have had a "fly Strike"...his back was messed up prety badly so much that he could bearly walk...a bunch of matts in his hair...stuff all in his teeth. But overall very freindly. I think he is beautiful because he looks so much like Zebra...so I decided to call him Senor Guapo (Mr. Handsom) :lol: . Senor Guapo Looks old..maybe 5 to 8 years old..he is a german shepherd/chow mix. From his head to the middle of his back he Looks EXACTLY like zebra same coloring and marking on his eyes..from the middle to his tail he is a golden colour and looks like a back part of a chow. Well by that time It was 8 o'clock and my mom came out to talk to me and started to pet the dog..she was just messing around and she said "You look like Zebra! Are you Zebra's Daddy...did you come to look for him?" and all of a sudden Senor Guapo jumps up and cocks his head from side to side like he is thinking. It was soo werid! :drinking: Well it just kept getting later and later so I decided to put Senor on the front porch because that is the only part of the house that is closed off and has a gate...The problem was getting him up 3 small stairs because he couldn't and wouldn't walk up them himself. Well after SEVERAL tries at trying to push him up a ramp, pick him up while on a blanket and roll him on a mat....we put a blanket in between his legs and lifted and pulled (oh yea I got a leash and collar on him with no fuss!!) . Uh so after 30 mins of hard work we finally got him on the front porch and put a big peice of carpet on the ground for him...a water bowl next to him and a tennis ball that I don't think he knows what to do with. So now It's 11:45 and he is sleeping on our porch..animal contol never came. So I'm goiing to call the humane society tomarrow morning before I leave for jury duty. I'm almost positive that they are going to put poor Senor Guapo to sleep because I know he has something wrong with his back. But he is a wonderful dog and I just hope he knows that even if no one else loved him or took care of him that he knows that we love him. Oh and I'll try to take some pics of him tonight so I can post them later on.

[quote name='Horsefeathers!']Now there's something you don't see every day... a pimp and a pumpkin. Much pumpkin pimping going on in your 'hood? :o :P[/quote] *LOL* :lol: Umm Zebra has a Devil costume that he HATES and will only stay on for about 10 seconds..I'll try to get some pics of him on Halloween.

Rest In peace Poppy. :angel:

Oh mouse I can't even imagine how hard this must be for you. :cry: Hugs and kisses from me and Zebra to you and poppy. :(

Oh what a Jack@ss! It sounds like a open and shut case..but you just never know with the American Justice System. If there is ONE thing I learned from being on Jury duty is Writting everything down! So maybe you could write the time and date that this occured and all the specifics of everything that happend. You can actually submit your notes as evidence of a crime. Oh well Just an idear! :wink:

Oh my gosh!! How cute!! More pics please!! Oh she is adorable. :angel: Poor ben...dosn't know what to do! I'm sure he'll warm up to her soon enough. :P

I crochet scarves every now and then..anyways I was working on a realy nice red and black one and I left it on my bed while I went to go talk to my mom. Anyways when I came back I see a long string of yarn leading from my room to under the table where Zebra has the ball of yarn. :-? He unraveled half of my scarf and chewed up some yarn. :roll: I never left yarn on my bed again. :lol:

Oh how terribly exciting!! I can bearly wait for the pics on monday!!! :P Yeah we are going to have a new pup on dogo! :P

[quote name='courtnek']I might volunteer to drop off the money, with my 22 semi-automatic in my pocket.....that's how angry I would be.[/quote] That's exactly what I was thinking! I woldn't want to give a penny to anyone who took away something that I dearly loved. Or maybe I would give him the money and then maybe a few weeks later the police would "accidently" find his body somewhere. :evilbat:

We have a lazer pointer here too. I use to have zebra chase it for about 10 mins a week, but I don't want him running around like a maniac with a bad hip so we don't use it anymore. I wish we could because he realy loved it..every time I would say "go get the dot" he would run where the lazer was hanging. I feel bad that he can't play with it now because he loved is SOO much... :( Oh well guess that's the way the dog cookie crumbles. I can understand how prolonged use of it could cause some kind of harm to a dog..but a few mins here and there won't do anything. By the way DAL...you can NEVER leave here...see your stuck here forever..we won't let you leave.. :evilbat:

Oh my dog! :evil: I can't believe that someone would do such an awful thing! :x Oh I hope she comes home safe and sound as soon as possible. I'll keep you and her in my thoughts...fingers and paws crossed here for her safe return.

Ok Zebra is a mutt but looks like a german shepherd..kinda. :wink: German Shepherd:1 Keeshonden: 3 Shiloh Shepherd: 1 Boxer: 1 Kelpie: 1 Labrador: 4 Mini Poodle: 3 Papillon: 1 Foxhound: 1 Standard Poodle: 2 Toy Poodle: 1 Lhasa Apso: 2 Mini Schnauzer: 1 Chihuahua: 1 Pit Bull: 1 1/2 Malamute: 2 Border Collie: 4 Maltese: 1 Blue heeler: 1 Samoyed: 1

[quote name='Luv Me Do Kennals'][size=7][/size] :P Well what do you know! some one else with an education. All of you purebred (questionable) dimwitts should go back to school and learn how to read. Then open a book and read. You might even learn something about breeding quality dogs. It is obvious you only know what suits your needs. Keep breeding your pure bred MUTS. But you are going to loose out in the long run. Because most dog owners care about the well being of the dog and not the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$s or the name! Betta get used to it! This is only the beginning! It is very difficult to get a perfect purebred mut to breed with, because they dont exist. So stop kidding youeselves :P[/quote] To be honest Luv Me Do Kennals I have no clue what you are trying to prove in your post. Are you trying to say that MUTTS (by the way it's MUTTS with 2 T's) are better then pure Breeds? Are you trying to say that mutts are the new wave of things to come? Well can you please explain to me why you are so against pure breeds? You come here with guns blazing calling people dimwitts and expect what? I am adamantly against these so called "new' breeds (i.e. labradoodles, yorkie-poo or whatever un-imaganative name that people come up with). I don't think we need these "new" breeds for any reason except for the way they look. There is no use for them..I mean we use german shepherds for...herding, police work, scent work and many other things. We use Retrivers for ...retriving items like foul and other game bird. And we use Labradoodles for...umm hmm..uhh...err....shoot NOTHING! These new mixes have the same problems as pure breeds do...so why do people still breed them? They are not trying to come up with some new wonderful breed of dog that can do all. If you want a mutt then go to the pound and get one..don't breed two dogs together just because you can. Now don't get me wrong, I love mix breeds in fact I have one...he also has server Hip Dysplacia. I also love pure breeds but they can come with there fair share of problems too. I do not think that people breeding labradors and poodels together are trying to breed dogs with better temperments or health problems. Because lets think about this...lets say that a very well meaning person decided to breed a pure German shepherd and a pure golden together..wouldn't they have the same helth problems as there parents? I would much rather get a pure breed german shepherd from a great breeder that knows the past history of the dogs liniage (sp?) then some new labradoodle breeder. I love mutts..I always will. I will most likely always have mutts as my dogs but I will always get my mutts from the pound. Never will I get one from a breeder. But your right..it is hard to get the perfect "Mutt" to breed. So why don't you stop kidding YOURSELF and stop promoting something that is unnecissary.

Oh my dog!! That is sooo funny! :lol: Oh my gosh I nearly spit out my drink while reading it! So cute! :P

Fingers and paws crossed here for you!! :P
