courtnek Posted October 8, 2003 Posted October 8, 2003 OK I must be dense. I see a lot of messages asking to help, but not the story itself. I personally want to know what happened....is there a particular thread on that forum that tells the whole story? thanks Quote

courtnek Posted October 8, 2003 Posted October 8, 2003 Thank you T&J - I will be sending a check, but Angry needs to realize that there is an issue here with her dogs....dont know what started it, but she needs to watch them and make sure it doesnt happen again....these are animal aggressive dogs...all it would take is one "bad move" on Tia's part to set one of the others off....and I like Pit's...I cant have one because my Lab mix "bitch" (no pun intended) is Queen of the Castle (under me) and no Alphaness will be allowed from another dog.... On another note - do you have a dog named Taurus? That's what I named my first dog, a Golden Retriever....brings back memories.... :) Quote
Taurus and Jada Posted October 8, 2003 Posted October 8, 2003 Yes I do have a dog named Taurus. He is a 3 1/2 yr old APBT. We named him Taurus because when we first bought him as a puppy, we thought he was a staffordshire bull terrier. We figured bull... Taurus... it seemed to fir. Also, his birthday is MAy 8th, so he really is a Taurus Quote
courtnek Posted October 8, 2003 Posted October 8, 2003 WHAT A FACE!! yea, he's a Taurus..."My Way Or the Highway...." LOL :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Quote

courtnek Posted October 8, 2003 Posted October 8, 2003 and does any of this apply to YOUR Taurus? Taurus About Your Sign... The Taurean's characteristics are solidity, practicality, extreme determination and strength of will - no one will ever drive them, but they will willingly and loyally follow a leader they trust. They are stable, balanced, conservative good, law-abiding citizens and lovers of peace, possessing all the best qualities of the bourgeoisie. As they have a sense of material values and physical possessions, respect for property and a horror of falling into debt, they will do everything in their power to maintain the security of the status quo and be somewhat hostile to change. Mentally, they are keen-witted and practical more often than intellectual, but apt to become fixed in their opinions through their preference for following accepted and reliable patterns of experience. Their character is generally dependable, steadfast, prudent, just, firm and unshaken in the face of difficulties. Their vices arise from their virtues, going to extremes on occasion,such as sometimes being too slavish to the conventions they admire. On rare occasions a Taurean may be obstinately and exasperatingly self-righteous, unoriginal, rigid, ultraconservative, argumentative, querulous bores, stuck in a self-centered rut. They may develop a brooding resentment through nursing a series of injuries received and, whether their characters are positive or negative, they need someone to stroke their egos with a frequent, "Well Done!" Most Taureans are not this extreme though. They are faithful and generous friends with a great capacity for affection, but rarely make friends with anyone outside their social rank, to which they are ordinarily excessively faithful. In the main, they are gentle, even tempered, good natured, modest and slow to anger, disliking quarreling and avoiding ill-feeling. If they are provoked, however, they can explode into violent outbursts of ferocious anger in which they seem to lose all self-control. Equally unexpected are their occasional sallies into humor and exhibitions of fun. Although their physical appearance may belie it, they have a strong aesthetic taste, enjoying art, for which they may have a talent, beauty (recoiling from anything sordid or ugly) and music. They may have a strong, sometimes unconventional, religious faith. Allied to their taste for all things beautiful is a love for the good things of life pleasure, comfort, luxury and good food and wine and they may have to resist the temptation to over indulgence, leading to drunkenness, gross sensuality, and covetousness. In their work, Taureans are industrious and good craftspeople, and are not afraid of getting their hands dirty. They are reliable, practical, methodical and ambitious, within a framework of obedience to superiors. They are at their best in routine positions of trust and responsibility, where there is little need of urgency and even less risk of change, and a pension at the end. Yet they are creative and good founders of enterprises where the rewards of their productiveness come from their own work and not that of others. They can flourish in many different trades and professions: banking, architecture, building, almost any form of bureaucracy, auctioneering, farming, medicine, chemistry, industry Taureans make good managers and foremen surveying, insurance, education and, perhaps surprisingly, music and sculpture. They make an ideal trustee or guardian, and can attain eminence as a chef. Some Taureans are gifted enough in singing to become opera stars or to excel in more popular types of music. They are more than averagely amorous and sensually self-conscious, but sexually straightforward and not given to experiment. They make constant, faithful, home loving spouses and thoughtful, kindly parents, demanding too much of neither their spouses nor children. They can be over possessive and may sometimes play the game of engineering family roles for the pleasure of making up the quarrel. If anyone offends their amour proper they can be a determined enemy, though magnanimous in forgiveness if their opponent makes an effort to meet them halfway. No other sign in the zodiac is closer to earth then Taurus. The main objective in leading a Taurean life is primarily (though not entirely) to maintain stability and physical concerns. Your inner spiritual sense longs for earthly harmony and wholesomeness. When you fully understand this, and work toward this end, you will no longer need to blindly reassure yourself with external possessions and comforts. A realization that finding this inner peace will cause all of the above mentioned positive things will overtake you and your life will be very full. Ultimately the Taurean needs to discover their truest, deepest and highest values. When they know what is truly valuable, they are no longer chained to people and to things that have to do with lesser values. The greatest indication of value to a Taurean is beauty, which cannot be owned, only appreciated. MY Taurus was stubborn, loving, reliable, unendng. Always there for me. always strong in a crisis, never faltered. Ran off, always came home.... Sat on the front porch after running off, miffed, that no one was there to let him in (we were ALL out all over the neighborhood LOOKING FOR HIM!!!) STUBBORN - did I say STUBBORN??????? ALWAYS... Hee Hee!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Quote
Taurus and Jada Posted October 8, 2003 Posted October 8, 2003 LOL courtnek... that describes Taurus ina nutshell He is the absolute MOST STUBBORN dog I've ever had the pleasure of living with! He is the most head strong dog I've ever known, if he wants something , he gets it... that's final! He is also defenitly a lover not a fighter. I've read all these stories about APBT's being dog aggresive with MOST dogs after a certain age. We haven't had that problem AT ALL with him. In fact, he walks away froma fight. If a dog doesn't like him, and growls at him, he just walks the other way. He's only interested in dogs that want to play with him. He is also by my side 24/7. Like you said with your Taurus, he would never run away. I think the farthest off the property he's ever strayed is 20 feet. Do you have any pics of your Taurus? Quote
imported_Kat Posted October 8, 2003 Posted October 8, 2003 I will probably be slandered for the comments I will make, but however I am used to it working at a Veterinary practice that deals with court cases with the dog warden and USPCA. I have every sympathy for this person, and even more so for the dogs affected, but it proves a point that dogs are pack animals and like humans they do not have to like every dog they meet. Perhaps this girl didn't notice a behavioural distance within the ranks before but even so leaving 4 dogs alone in the same room is asking for trouble, especially with no mediator as their owner perhaps is. Dogs have been domesticated for roughly 15,000 years but they are still wild animals and unpredictable. Until this is realised, more dogs left in packs will continue to be injured. Terriers in particular prefer to be solitary or duo animals. They are certainly not a pack animal. On a different note if the vet was any type of vet that ran a veterinary practice for the sake of the animals, like our practice is, then money wouldn't be an issue. Several years ago 2 kids brought in a young terrier pup hit by a train. These were kids of 9/10 maybe. They were in such a state and just wanted the wee dog to be "fixed", but explained that they didn't have any money. Money wasn't an issue and my boss pined the puppies leg and rewired his jaw as well as treating him for 2 weeks at the practice. The kids came back 2 weeks later and proudly gave me a money bag of silver coins and explained they had asked all their friends would it be enough to pay for the wee dog. That touched me, and one of the kids Adam now has that little dog and I see him in the park all the time playing with his best friend. Money shouldn't be an issue. Most vet practices charge a consultation fee and all this carry on, so they can damn well afford it. Kat Quote
