Cairn6

How cute!!! Way too much cuteness!!

I knew he was trouble I certainly didn't vote for him. :evil:

That is just criminal for him to be that old and not have any manners at all. Those creeps neglected him first then got rid of him. They are very smart dogs. They are basically white cairns but here in the US where cairns aren't too popular the white ones are West highland terriers. But in England he would be a white cairn. I love their personality I have never met anyone that has had a cairn or a westie that didn't want to have another. When my dog was in training class he learned so fast it was amazing. He was the little star of the class and he still makes friends everywhere he goes. Your not gonna be able to let him go you'll see. People always call them the big dog in the little dog body.

If there are 3 times as many attacks by Pit Bulls then the second offender the German Shephard then there does need to be some sort of control. But it needs to be control of the owners of the dogs. Did this police officers get any punishment at all for letting his dog run loose? I don't think so. They can go ahead and ban pit bulls but they are too stupid to realize the reason why there is a problem with pit bulls is because that is the choice of dog that all the people who simply want to have a scary looking dog are choosing. If you ban pit bulls they will pick another breed. You can make any dog vicious if you try.

True they could fake it but then they could never claim they didn't know how to care for their dog. Stiffer laws for animal abuse would be nice too. Right now they aren't getting any education at all when it's so easy to just go buy a dog from anyone who happens to be selling one.

[quote name='kendalyn'][quote]But wouldn't you rather people be licenced to have a dog than SO many dogs end up in shelters, dead, and abused? Rather then now even being ALLOWED to own a certain breed, you have to take a test first to be qualified to do so![/quote] No I wouldn't actually. Because it wouldn't work. The government can't educate our children reliably. It can't even assess our taxes correctly. It certainly does not have the resources to take on any more burdens. Government needs to be downsized, not super sized. The only thing worse than having to ask the government if I can own a dog, would be the government telling me no I cannot. And if you want to open the door to BSL, this would be one great way to do it. I can just see it now. "No, you're not qualified to own a pit bull (in reality nobody would be) why don't you go pick out a nice Golden Retriever." Once you open that door, you can't close it.[/quote] And as far as the government don't you see they are already in charge and they are trying to take our right to own what dog we want away already. We wouldn't be given them control they already have it. What we would be doing is figuring out a solution to get what we want and what is best for the dogs. But as was said before getting the ball rolling is the hardest part.

You know what I wish could be done that every single person that wants to own a dog would have to be licensed. We license our dogs but what about us. We should have to go through a training program to make sure we understand dog behavior and what they need from us. Included in that should be what happens to dog when people just use them and throw them away. We wouldn't get so many people who just want the cute little puppy and then when they get too big get rid of the dog. They need to understand the responsiblities of owning whatever breed they want. A pit bull is a responsibility that I don't think everyone understands. Just the prejudice alone is tough. What about not being able to move where you might want too and get insurance. I'd be willing to go through the licensing process so that everyone else would have too.

[b]I forgot to say that if you have any trouble with her drinking again you can use a little dropper. I remembered earlier while thinking about your little dog that Angel had a time in the very beginning when she didn't want to drink so I just squirted some in her mouth every now and then. Also I had to hand feed her for a bit in the beginning. About that breeder she should never be aloud to breed dogs it's probably good you got your little Bell because your doing such a good job with her because she would have sold the dog to someone else who might not have taken such good care of her. [/b]

Oh poor dog what goes through there little heads when the people they love so much just dump them. Poor little baby.

You know people are always talking about rotties like they are dangerous but I too have never met a dangerous rottweiler in fact they are some of the best trained dogs out there. I love them.

[b]We got our chihuahua at 6 weeks old from an irresponsible breeder who was going to put her to sleep because she had demodectic mange. So grandma took her from her. How big is your chihuahua? Angel was already 3 lbs when she was 6 weeks old so she is kind of a big chihuahua she ended up being 10lbs. She was the sweetest puppy we ever had. She was always kind. She is actually my grandmother's dog but I spend so much time with her caring for her when she was sick I feel close to her. She is still a very kind dog but is the boss of our other 3 if she needs to be. She herds them around the house and makes sure they get where they need to be. Sometimes they don't agree that is where they need to be but they do it anyway just to get her off their back. :lol: I don't think you will have any trouble with your lab they tend to work these things out. But as was said before keep a close eyes while she is a pup. Angel didn't actually start commanding the other dogs until she was almost 2 so just keep an eye and see how your other dog interacts with her. Oh and also make sure you do what was said before about making sure she doesn't jump off a high places. Angel jumped out of my grandma's arms when she was 6 months old and broke her leg. She had to have surgery to put a metal plate in but as she got older her bones got stronger and now she jumps off a lot of places that I wouldn't think she would be capable of but now she has sense that she didn't as a pup and knows her capabilities a lot more now. Train her and don't let her fall into the stereotype of what a chihuahua is suppose to be like. Most people believe they are all yappy and nippy. They don't have to be train her as you would you large dog. People at the vet are always amazed at how well behaved Angel is this last time they commented that she is better then most larger dogs. I am not sure what that means but they seemed impressed with her. I think you will truly enjoy this little dog.[/b]

What the purpose of the story was that a person has a true nature and that is sin. We are going to sin because that is our nature but through Jesus he will forgive our sins. This is a story that has been told many many times but this time they used a pit bull instead of a snake. They probably did that because pit bulls have been in the news so often lately. They probably wouldn't even have a clue why everyone is so angry. I don't agree with what they did but it's probably ignorance.

Yeah if you turn that picture up side down she does kind of look like she is flying!! :lol:

:lol: Those pictures are funny. What's with keeping your legs straight up in the air. :lol:

That's cute!! No my dogs have never sang. The only thing they do is Mandy howls at the sirens that's it.

That is quite an image of you imitating your dog. :lol: Thanks for always replying to my posts no matter how silly they are. You should be the ambassador of Dogmania you always make everyone feel welcome.

She is a beauty. How old is she? We adopted Mandy at 3 years old and it's so hard when you don't know the history. She would cower in the closet sometimes and pee in the bathroom(at least she got the right room :lol: ) It would just be so much easier if they could tell us what happened to them. It's been 3 years now and she is settled into this family just wonderfully. It's takes time depending on what thier past is but your baby will learn that your only going to give her love and security.

This is how Shadow decided to lie down today. One leg going one way the other going the other. Pups are so flexible. :lol: [img]http://www.funtigo.com/img/i4382163_86668.jpg[/img]

All of them are beautiful!! The dancing dachsund should have gotten a prize for that dance. :lol:

On an off topic subject, Kiwi,I can't even tell you how much this picture is killing me. I want to hug this little guy so bad!!

The sitting is a good idea I know what he wanted it was his chew bone. Now that he finally buttoned up I will go give him his bone after he sits.

Is that your baby girl K ? She is a doll.

There is really nothing more horrifying is there? :lol:

Okay I am being tested right now he is really whining. I am ignoring it and not looking at him. It's so hard.

Cute picture!! They look like they are having a great time.
