Guest Anonymous Posted February 8, 2003 Posted February 8, 2003 Okay, I'm talking to my friend on MSN, and this is a little weird... I'm the one who's name is: "To walk within the lines... would make my life so boring... I want to know, that I have been... to the extreem" And she's: "? Quote
courtnek Posted February 8, 2003 Posted February 8, 2003 you did fine. you werent going to get her to agree with you anyway - her mind is fixed. as far as her story - you were correct. The dog that bit her and Blake had issues of some sort. It could very well have felt threatened by her putting her hand towards it's head; although that's not usually enough to make it bite without warning. There could be things she didnt point out as well.... It's more likely this dog had problems. I dont agree with the breeder/wolf-dog mix part either. I think there was something wrong with this particular dog. I have a problem with the thought that the dog felt threatened when she got too close to to it's head, did nothing, then let her pet it on the back - THEN bit her. Usually, if they're gonna bite, they let you know that at the beginning, before you ever get close enough to touch; at least in my experience. The wolf story tho - I dont buy it as told. Wolves tend to stay away from people in general, especially if they're on a loud machine, unless they feel threatened; are rabid, like you said, OR you have just gotten way too close to the den. Wolves have been known to both warn and then attack if you get too close to the babies....they key word here is WARN - So the only way I can see thiss happeneing is if he was warned, either didnt know it or ignored it, and blundered directly into the den area. Wolves are pack animlas, so unless this particular one was a loner, there would have been more than one seen before any attack happened. They are actually more afraid of us then we are of them, except in certain cicumstances they try hard to stay out of our way and unnoticed.... All in all, I have to say both of these stories just dont ring entirely true as told...Either there are facts that have been left out, or the story has been embellished. And reading back over this, I just realized I have fallen into my VERY bad habit of thinking out loud....sorry if it seems kinda convoluted. Yes, I do argue with myself, and sometime out loud too, whilc I'm getting my thoughts in line. I will try to stop doiing that... :oops: Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted February 8, 2003 Posted February 8, 2003 Thanks! Yeah, I think some facts were left out too... Marlee is a good person, and seldom lies, so I think some facts are just missing is all. haha, don't worry about it, I often think outloud, and argue with myself all the time :roll: :lol: Quote
