Congrats! :D Where in Virginia?

:WTF: WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE? :nonono2: That's ridiculous. :-?

Wow that's interesting.

The link won't work for me. :bigcry:

Just recieved this forward from a friend of mine: The May-June issue of AARP-The Magazine, included an article entitled "Putting the Fun in Refund". The author of the article suggested that, rather then getting a "free" puppy at an animal shelter, readers should use their income tax refund to purchase a registered, pedigreed puppy. By so doing, they would know for sure what kind of dog they were getting and they could later breed the dog for stud fees or sell the puppies for a nice financial reward. This is one of the most irresponsible bits of advice I have ever seen. We don't need more inexperienced backyard breeders filling the community with poor quality "pure" bred dogs. The breeding of quality, single breed dogs should be left to experienced, knowledgeable people, not to those whose only qualification is that they got an income tax refund. It is the kind of thinking expressed in the AARP article that has filled animal shelter across the country and leads to the euthanasia of millions of animals every year. Don't let them get away with this kind of ill conceived advice. Right now, while you are thinking about it, send an email to [email]aarpmagazine@aarp.org[/email] and let them know how you feel. Maybe if enough of us write they will publish a "correction" or at least not write this kind of stuff again. Thanks. :roll: People just don't suprise me any more! :-? But if you can please write a letter to the magazine, it would be much apprciated. :)

I'm so sorry Mich. :( Be strong, lots of *hugs* commin your way. RIP Holly :angel:

Awsome! :D :D Great job Bella! :) And I saw my first CC today!!!!!!!! :D I was at the local ice cream place with a friend, and as we were walking through the parking lot we passed a car with an adult hairless Crested in it! It was soooo cute! But she was like a tan and white parti color. :o I didn't even know that existed. :lol:

Goodluck Minna!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D Wishing you and Bella lots of luck.

Why would they want to bad those? :-? That makes no sense at all to me.

:icon_rock:

OMG it's like a little panda dog!!!!! :lol: It's so cute!!!!!!!! But I have no idea what it is. :lol:

:( I'm having a discussion with DL on msnm right now about smoking and how sick it is, when I wondered if it effects my dogs. My dad smokes probably a pack a day. Inside, outside wherever. Around me, my mom, kid sister and my dogs. He's probably been smoking for more than 30 years. :-? This really pisses me off, it's his decision to smoke, and if he wants to slowly kill himself there's nothing I can do to stop him. BUT the smoke hurts me and my family, and now I've found it hurts my dogs to. THAT'S IT. Him smoking aroud me and my pets stops NOW. I've learned a lot of facts that I had NO idea about. I'm going to e-mail him right after I write this to tell him I won't put up with him smoking inside anymore. I will not stand by and let him hurt my dogs. So here are some articles I found on the effect secondhand smoke has on your pets: [url]http://www.vetcentric.com/magazine/magazineArticle.cfm?ARTICLE=Secondhand%20Smoke%20Affects%20Pets,%20Too[/url] [url]http://www.collegian.com/vnews/display.v/ART/2003/03/18/3e767d8fc1b7c[/url] I STRONLY urge those of you that do smoke to not do it around your pets, or even better quit all together. Do a search on it sometime, the facts aren't pretty. :-?

Signed. :)
