[size=6][color=indigo][b]Happy Birthday, Elmo! Woo-hoo! [/b][/color][/size] [size=6][color=darkblue][b]May all of your doggie dreams come true! [/b][/color][/size] [img]http://img54.photobucket.com/albums/v166/EmmeAndCharley/Dogs/web02.gif[/img]

CONGRATULATIONS! What an accomplishment! (Can I PLEASE send Charley & Emme to you for some training? Huh? Can I? heheheheh!) Good job, Shara & Coal!

I am very concerned about your coworker who got bitten by the cat. Cat bites are some of the worst bites a person can get because of the bacterial infections that they cause. It doesn't matter how well the person cleans the wound, either. Infection is extremely likely. Has your friend been to the emergency room or a doctor yet???? She will need to check with the doctor, to see if she will need antibiotics, as soon as possible!

One of my dogs would have the desire to kill 20 cats. But he would probably go blind or die in the process. He only weighs 18 pounds and is no match to a cat with claws. My other dog would probably just take a look at the cats, bark a few times, then go find a comfortable place to fall asleep.

I like this thread a lot! I got Emme when she was 6.5 weeks old. The only thing she chewed up was the door frame. Got Charley when he was around 1-year-old. He has been naughty too many times to remember what all he chewed up! I'll give it some thought and get back to you.

I feed my dogs Solid Gold... it is right up there with Wellness, Innova, etc.

hahahahahah! Oh, that is just too perfect! hahahahahahah!

Yay! Congratulations to you and to Sally!! Woo-hoo!

[quote]While it is certainly true that dog aggression and people aggression are not "the same," it is also true that dog aggression very often results in injuries to people. For example: [url]http://www.zwire.com/site/news.cfm?newsid=12098475&BRD=2554&PAG=461&dept_id=507134&rfi=6[/url] So even if you don't care that pit bulls injure and kill DOGS because of dog aggression, pit bulls become more dangerous to people because of it. [u][b]Note, also, that this article presents good evidence (as does virtually every other well conducted study[/b][/u]) that pit bulls actually ARE more people aggressive than are other breeds.[/quote] Primrose, with the comment that I bolded & underlined (above)... are you suggesting that the article that you provided a link to is reporting evidence from a well conducted study? A research study? If so, there is no information on how the study was conducted, so there is no way to tell if it was indeed a well conducted study, based on this news article alone. Do you know who the Principal Investigators of the research study were? Do you know what University the PI's are affiliated with? I would be interested to read the research protocol for the study that provided the results for this news article. I'd also like to read any of the abstracts that resulted from this study, and to find out if there are any pilot studies being conducted to further the research in the area of Pit Bulls. Thank you.

[quote]I figure that [u]anybody whose opinions matter [/u]see stupid, baseless personal attacks for what they are and they just serve to undermine the arguments of the person making them.[/quote] Primrose, who are the persons whose opinions matter? Can you define those persons so that I understand clearly who you mean? Are there persons whose opinions do not matter? Matter to whom? Matter to you? Matter to everyone?

[quote]If you don't know the difference between cairn terrier dog aggression and pit bull dog aggression (and no, it isn't just the fifteen or twenty or twenty five pound difference in size), then you don't know much about pit bull dog aggression.[/quote]Primrose, I do not quite understand this comment. Based on what the poster said about the dog aggression in terriers, did those comments make you think that the poster does not understand the difference between cairn terrier dog aggression and pit bull dog aggression? Did you think that poster (based on what she wrote) doesn't know much about pit bull dog aggression? I did not get that impression at all out of the posters comments about dog aggression in terriers.

[quote]Of course, I am not one to ask for censorship of stupid, baseless personal attacks. [/quote]Primrose, did you make this comment in regards to the poster who suggested that perhaps you made the first post in this thread? If that is what your comment (quoted in this post) is in reference to, then I disagree that the posters remark was a stupid, baseless, personal attack.

[quote]Actually, if one poster suggests that another poster is intentionally lying and making up a story without any evidence that that poster IS intentionally lying and making up a story, that probably isn't technically permitted on this board. I think that that falls into the category of "First and foremost there will be NO personal attacks tolerated" don't you? [/quote] I do not think that the person who suggested that "perhaps" you made the original post in this thread is the same thing as if the person said that you "definitely made the original post in this thread." So, therefore, I do not think the person was lying... and I do not think that the person was making a personal attack. I do not think that suggesting that perhaps you made the original post in this thread falls into the category of "First and foremost there will be NO personal attacks tolerated." Primrose, do you know who made the original post in this thread?

[quote]But for purposes of discussion, we might as well assume that Sam's situation is real.[/quote]Isn't this assuming that Sam's poodle getting killed might be real (i.e. true) without any real evidence that it actually happened?

[quote]Do you often suggest things might be true without any evidence whatsoever? [/quote]Is suggesting that something might be true not permitted? Do you never suggest that something might be true?

[quote]This is the internet, and smart people don't necessarily believe everything that they read on the internet. [/quote]Then why, when you are trying to prove someone wrong, do you ask them to find a quote on the internet that proves their point?

I, personally, do not think there is a "Sam." NOR do I think the situations described in the original post in this thread really occured. I think it is a hypothetical situation that someone posted just to see what kind of response it would get. If I'm wrong about that... OOOPS! Sorry about your dog. :cry:

Man! I wanna post something to little pitbulletta soooo bad! But I've been :drinking: a few tonight with some friends, so what I have to say might just get me banned from the board. I don't need that!!! I shall keep my thoughts to myself! ** Hic **

If I think my dogs are ignoring me when I'm calling them to "come," I will say, "Here Kitty, kitty, kitty!" hahahahah! They give me a look like, "What the???" Otherwise, I call Charley "Boo-na-boos" and Emme "Nooney!"

Aw, man! Don't end this thread! I have been enjoying reading it every day!!! There has been a lot of good posts and a lot of hilarious ones, too!!! Plus, I learn something new every day... and I'm sure the others who read it are enjoying it all, too!!! I was actually disappointed when the thread dropped down on the list. Please, let it continue!!! It isn't all that bad. :hand:
