[quote][quote]Quote: I feel awfull. I feel like a horrible pet owner. I hate it when people "get rid" of a pet and now I am going to be one of them. What should I do? [/quote] I dont think that you should feel bad, or like your a bad owner. As much as we all love our dogs, our family will always come first. No one will think less of you for doing so... putting your family and your new babys safety first. The owners you refer to get rid of their dogs because.... they're stupid, or they shed too much, or they bark too much, or some equally stupid reason. You cant even compare yourself to people like this. It sounds like you've done everyhting you can. [/quote] I totally agree with this. Don't even think of comparing yourself to idiot's like that. Sending good thoughts your way, I hope you can figure something out that'll work for everyone.

:B-fly: That's great Shara!!!! :D :D :D Congrats to u and Coal! :bday:

[quote]i had to find ways to wear my dog out, and i did. the tools i use are called "mountain bike" and "rollerblades", it's impossible to do with just my own two legs. as long as it doesn't get dark early, we do about 9 miles a day, more if other people come along and we have a specific place we want to go.[/quote] Oh Shara this is a great idea! :D Right now I'm training Abby to pull me on my rollerblades. It's really a lot of fun and tires 'em out fast. U should try it!

:bday: [size=7][color=red]Happy 6th Birthday Lucky!!![/color][/size] :bday:

Congrats! :D Glad to hear the mummy and pups are doing well! Can't wait to see wee puppy pics!!!!! :D :D

I cannot stand any of the Animal Cops shows, but Animal Precinct is usually pretty good. :) I haven't seen any episodes of Animal Cops Miami, and from the sounds of it I don't want to. :o :-?

That is really sweet. :angel:

:klacz: YAY Jessie! :klacz:

Nice letter Courtnek. :D I'm sorry that u had to go through something like that but u and everyone else here know that u would never abuse Laurel. Some people are just plain ignorant. :roll: :-? [quote]but, some pups are actually genetically programmed to be fearful...[/quote] Yes, our vet thinks that this is the case with Cracker. It's a very hard thing to deal with, from the time she was a little puppy she's always been very fearful and shy with other people. :( [quote]"Dear @#%@#% I justed wanted to tell you to go #^%# yourself with a #^# in your @#$%#"[/quote] :roflt:

HATE IT. I absolutly cannot stand it!!!!! The minute Abby starts up I yell at her to cut it out. :oops: :-? :roll: UGH even the thought *shiver* yep drives me nuts....

Glad to hear Felix is alright! :D

Both my dogs prefer to be outside in the summer/spring also. Especially at night in the summer, after it's been real hot all day. I don't think it's nessisarily(sp?) wierd, some dogs just like to be outside. Mine would probably also like to stay out during the winter, but it gets way to cold for them to be out there all the time.

Oh yes both mine stare. :-? It's really annoying too. Abby has this deadlock border collie stare that's like she's trying to hypnotize me ( :o :lol: ) while Cracker goes for the cuteness factor and puts her head in u're lap, while seemingly making her eyes look even more big and brown. :puppydogeyes: Ah the joys of dog ownership :roll: :roll: :wink:

So far I've had to disect an earthworm, frog, squid (and we fried it and ate it to!!! :lol: Actually it was quite good... :roll: :wink: ) cricket, and I think that's it... I agree with Science_Doc on this one... :) [quote](grades 7 and 8 we were fairly immature and didn't really think much about stuff other than it was fun to squirt intestinal contents at each other and play mini tennis with the heart[/quote]. *sigh* Yes, unforunatly I am surronded by kids like this everyday. :( :roll: :wink: :lol:

Um ok I have not read all the posts in this topic, but just to make a point, the Iams company admitted to cruely testing on animals. They came out and admitted their wrong doing. So there's really no question of whether they did it or not, because the company themselves admitted to it.....

Lucky for me my parents take care of the mowing. :P But I heard from someone that they're calling for snow flurries like Wednesday or something. :o :x I certainly hope not the last thing I want is more snow. :( Either tommorow or next Friday agility classes start up again so I can get Abby back on the course. :D

This is the reason BSL is so scary, and why we should ALL be up in arms about it. No matter what sort of dog u have. It reminds me of a saying I heard once that went something like this: First they came for the Pit Bull, and I didn't stand up because I didn't have a pit bull Then they came for the Staffy and I didn't stand up because I didn't have a Staffy Then they came for the Rottie, but I didn't stand up because I didn't have a Rottie Then when they came for my Beagle, there was no one left to stand up! Well that's not the exact quote but something to that extent and u get the point. :oops: :oops:

Congrats to u both! :D :D :D

[quote]Oh, BTW, that photo is only a few weeks old, it was snowing and VERY cold out. Today the temp was in the 70's, T-shirt and shorts weather![/quote] Ooooohhhh Carol the weather has been lovely here also. 8) The dogs and I are lovin' it, I'm so sick of winter I'm glad for the much wanted heat. :D
