tx2478

for the record i am not sure where he came from i know she looked at a couple different places when she was just looking like petfinder and the local paper but i am not sure where she got him from...and she hasnt said to me either and i dont think she will for fear of the do not adopt but that is just me assuming not her saying

Tammy: i didnt want to quote all that, i havent researched it but when my friend moved in to her new house with her 3 dogs i asked her if that was legal and she said they changed the rule and now you have to pay 250.00 per over 2 animals so i told dal this was back in Jan or Feb so i am not sure i just know that my other friend paid it and has 3 legal dogs....but that is correct what you quoted that is what it has been since we have been here and i was suprised at the change too i will email my housing lady and ask her to make sure that is correct also just so we all know

[quote name='Tammy'][quote name='tx2478'][quote name='CoalSky']If you're a true friend, you'll HELP your friend when it looks like she needs it, not just stand by and watch her "do what she wants". Sometimes that's just not the right thing and quite frankly, childish.[/quote] I didnt just stand by and watch her she called me and told me she got a dog and told me what kind she said he really didnt go to kids so she was happy about that...I dont know what you expected me to do i asked questions like you did like what are you going to do with the big dogs but it isnt like she is a child i cant make her change her mind even if i am her friend she got the dog told justin and he was ok with it so dal and him are the only ones that have a say what goes on in there house...[/quote] Actually NO Justin and DAL are not the only ones who have say over what goes on in their house. They live on base right? There are regulations on base (one reason my father never made his family live on base in his 20 years of service). There are rules you have to follow when living in base housing. There is at least one I know of that she is violating which could lead to her losing her base housing or the dogs.[/quote] not anymore you can have as many animals you want as long as you pay the deposit of 250.00 per animal that changed right after she got stryker...our houses were transfered from military to privatley owned so they are more leanient

[quote name='Hmmmm'] Also.... Not trying to be mean, or bitchy, or petty but...Why would you need an alarm system for a house on a military base? I know the two bases Im familiar with have GREAT security. Especially nowadays.[/quote] The bases are usually safe but when kids go to high school they make friends and bring them on post and literally right before billy left there were a bunch of break ins in broad daylight...one guy went to work came home and his stereo and dvd and vcr and anything they can carry he was shocked cuz his house is attached to someone elses and it was 4 houses down and they were doing that alot we have mps but that is why for protection...and i know you didnt imply but just to clarify we didnt get star for just that but that was a requirement for my husband when we were looking...

ok now i am rambling i am sorry i know there are going to be alot of disagreements and i accept them but i just want to add that maybe all things happen for a reason and look at it from a positive point moose came into dals life for a reason whether it be cuz she needed him or he needed her i know you guys are worried about the animals but she does take care of them and justin knows she got them and he accepts them so besides just telling her how you feel here on the board she is going to do what she wants and what makes her happy and that is just how it is i am not sure if she is coming back to the board for she has a board on another site that has supported her thru this so i am not sure if she will read anymore

well unfortantualty they dont let us install alarm systems on our house on post but when looking for a dog my husband said it had to be a good protector since he was away from us...and star is just that and our moving situation isnt going to be that different from Dals cuz whethere we move to wyoming or colorado we will have to stay with family until we get our house cuz they just dont let us go there and pick a house out ahead of time usually they do but not this time cuz of the iraq thing they have to wait until the last minute to be released...and i appreciatie your comment on the how it is unrealastic but in reality alot of us have dogs and we do have to plan and one of the things they say is you need a care plan for your animal. And alot of the people i have met treat there dogs just like there kids and would be lost without them so just cuz of the jobs our spouses take should not justify having or not having an animal

ok now i have a question cuz it seems like you guys wanted dal to respond she took a day so she wouldnt argue and answer just the questions...she answered them and yet you are saying the only reason she did is so you dont put her on the do not adopt list....lets just be happy she answered the questions.... but here is my questions we are in the military so we are drug from base to base at least once every 3 years so we have to adjust to a new home each time and yes this the first adjustment that my dog will have to make when we move yet again...but you guys are worried about the dogs being moved so much around and we do move around alot are you guys saying that we shouldnt have dogs at all.....Alot of the military wives who's husbands are deployed get animals some for protection some for companionship and they are treated like part of the family and if you move the dogs just readjust with you...And in naomi and justins part on moving they did have a choice that she forgot to mention that was part of their decision they could of re enlisted which justin was considering but the company is moving to germany and there are alot of dog restrictions to going there so that played in part of his decision along with other things so that should show everyone that she does think of the animals well being...

she reading the posts and is going to reply that is why you can see her

just a side note i will tell her that you want to hear it from her not me mabye she will get back on..

[quote name='bk_blue'] I hope you or DAL don't seriously think I, for one, and probably every other outraged, shocked, upset and disappointed person who has posted in this thread are just going to, quote, "calm down". [/quote] I wasnt meaning you guys calm down i was meaning her if she would of came here right away she would of probably not answered your guys questions and might of said something that she would of regreted...i am assuming i dont know...you guys said you wanted answers i was going to get them for you cuz i didnt know when and if she was getting back on... And i was just trying to keep the peace not make it worse.

[quote name='Lucky Chaos'][quote]and maybe me asking for you to repost your questions and i would ask her is just my way of looking out for her to avoid reading the posts without questions...like i said she read some but she was more shocked and hurt so i think she did the right thing by waiting [/quote] You don't want her to read OUR opinions, if we don't have questions in them? Its alright for HER to post anything she wants, but when she gets different replies than she expected she shouldn't read them because they're not all gushy over her third dog in less than a year? I honestly hope she actually reads this thread and thinks about it.[/quote] I was just trying to be helpful by telling by telling her to not read the thread and no matter who it is i would tell my friend to stay away until that person calmed down...i have not posted on many threads that have her disagreeing with any of you for the fact that i dont like to take sides...i was again just trying to help by not making the situation worse...i will let her know that you would like your questions answered by her but i was more than willing to get you the answers by asking her over the phone that way at the question part would be answered and then she can read the rest when wants too

[quote name='CoalSky']I don't want to sound rude, and if I am then by all means, I'll backtrack what I say... but I think she should come on and answer and read our posts herself. She's a big girl right?[/quote] She is a big girl but the last time there was a big disagreement the thread got out of control and got locked...she did come on here and see some of the stuff but i dont think she made it to the questions due to her feelings were hurt and me telling her to wait before she posts was because someones first reaction to comments taken the wrong way before thinking about it can make a person lash out other than answer the questions...and maybe me asking for you to repost your questions and i would ask her is just my way of looking out for her to avoid reading the posts without questions...like i said she read some but she was more shocked and hurt so i think she did the right thing by waiting In strykers defence he couldnt of went to a better home kari and her kids are great so to me that was a good idea on her part... Now before you guys start yelling at me i know everyone has a right to there own opinion and that is usually why i dont post on any of naomi's thread that have a lot of disagreement (sp) due to me and her being friends she knows how i feel about her decisions so i dont make them public on the board and the only reason i posted earlier was to let you know why she hasnt responded.

hey guys i talked to Dal earlier and told her about all the posts right now her feelilngs are hurt cuz she didnt think you guys would say all those things...so instead of posting right away and mabye getting into a heated discussion with hurt words i told her to stay out of the thread until things calmed down...i didnt see anything i could answer right off but instead of her going thru and reading some of the comments that might cause an argument if you want to post a group of questions i will ask her and answer them for her... now i could be wrong and she could get on and answer them but i am not sure

So my GSD has gotten into this toy playing mood and every toy that i had bought her she plays with but that lasts all of a few seconds cuz it is ripped open, crushed or chewed in half...... What toys would be strong enough to hold up to those chompers?

yes please help stargaze and i..

[quote]perfifial vision problems [/quote] that is what i meant i remember you saying that just must of missed the check up bad friend...

oh i am so sorry to hear about your loss

cody is such a good dog he was always good with the kids i wonder if it where the people are standing to him...like by his bad eye and he is seeing a shadow...i hope he gets better cuz i know you love him so much just like he is your kid, and i know you putting him down would be the last resort so i support whatever you do

So i have now a new problem with my little Leo...he has fleas i went and bought some flea and tick shampoo and some spray for the carpets. I freaked out cuz Star my GSD is highly allergic to flea bites she needs medicine if she is bit cuz she breaks out. my mom said tonight we are going to put night lights up and water and if any got on the carpet they will attract to the night light....now i have never heard of this so i am up for anything and if you guys have any advice please let me know i just dont want fleas

grrr i am so mad i saw some people from my husbands company yesterday and one of the girls told me that her neighbor has a small dog and that some people were trying to steal him...and she lives like 6 houses down from me...and when i told her it was a maltese she is scared the same people trying to get her neighbors dog might of gotten leo... i could of sworn i heard him bark this morning but when i got to the door there was nothing...

hey guys thanks for the thoughts...i was going to post about him last night but i kept hoping for his return...i have checked my backyard over and there is no way out i mean mabye he found a way usually when he runs out the side door he comes to the front door and barks...and this is the first time leo has been out without Star. I just keep thinking why didnt i let them both out at the same time. The clinic says they have had no one call in and i am to check back by 3. i havent talked to my husband to tell him and the kids keep asking where he is and my daughter is so mopey...i just keep listening for a small bark coming from someones house. I asked everyone in the neighborhood that was out have they seen a little white maltese...he has just been freshly groomed and his nails are clipped so if someone found him they could tell he wasnt a stray. He is microchipped so i am hoping to hear from someone. i am so worried

i am so sorry for your friends loss, the man who hurt D-Bo was very wrong and someone should take his cat away just in case he "fears it".

oh good luck at the vet please keep us updated
