I know what you mean, my Mary is an organic space heater. I never get cold in the winter because she's so warm and snuggles right next to me along my back w/her head on my pillow.
So far, I've lost 5 prs of slippers (1 pr wasn't even mine) and 2 blankets. Stuffed toys are now banned in my home also. They last approximately 3 to 5 minutes before they're toast. I just stick to bones and braided ropes for my girl now.
what can I do to help? besides write to these "people"? I live in MI and the Detroit Humane Society has been killing pits for years simply because of the breed.
I still don't see anything in this that would allow prosecution for having dog-fighting equipment. Such as, the enhancement drugs, treadmills, chains, fighting ring, blood evidence, etc. that cruelty officers find continually but can't do anything a…
R.I.P. spidey, can't say I feel to bad. I once executed a tiny black spider with rubbing alcohol just for having the audacity to be crawling aroung in my bathroom sink! That was many moons ago, I've mellowed since then. Not much, but some.
one time at band camp..lol..no seriously, walking to the showers one night these girls were gathered around something just staring. Poor unsuspecting me walks up on the biggest, hairiest (sp?) freakin' spider I've ever seen. That was 20 yrs ago and…
I'm so sorry for your loss. Check your local and state laws but remember, some states/counties will single out specific breeds (pitbull) that may be exempt. Not fair but who said stupidity was fair. Your neighbor is either stupid or just an ass. Par…
for me, it's the legs, to many legs. Just thinking about all those legs makes my skin crawl. ewww!!! And centipedes? blekkk! I'll stick to my four legged friends thank-you very much.
Are any of your dogs spayed/nuetered? According to Ceasar Millan, if you're going to have more than one pit in the home, they have to be spayed in order to alleviate their natural aggression. Especially if you have a female in the same home. The old…
This is a group for anyone who wants to voice any opinion that they have on pit bulls. Whether you like them or not, you have a right to your own opinion . Just as long as you remember, If We Kill The Innocent, We Become The Enemy!
I'm right there with ya Gypsy, spiders make my skin crawl, caterpillers have just WAY to many legs for my comfort and worms, well, worms are just sooo slimey. Right?
Hahaha... I hear you on that! I have an iPhone and the darned thing just lays in my purse, battery dead most of the time. I only have one son who has yet to marry, but some day he'll settle down and find the right one - at least that's what he keeps telling me :) I look forward to seeing the pictures of your entire family! Have a great week.
Wow, I bet you're excited!! Can you email your photo's to your email account on your computer? You'd have them then. Just save them to your hard drive.
I can't wait to see the pics.. they sound like great dogs and awwww... baby grandsons, you are blessed!
Well, you know.. I still have alot of respect for Pits. I think they make great dogs given the right owners and the right situation, but like German Shepherds, they aren't a dog for everyone. Back when I used to take my two dogs (very dog social) to the bark park, their favorite playmates were two pit bulls. Now that we have the third I can't do that as he is not dog social.. in fact, he's dog aggressive (he was abused). We're working on that, but he may never get to enjoy the fun of a bark park.
Pit Bulls I still believe can snap and have their aggressions at any given moment, but that's in part due to their breeding. It takes a strong, loving person to have them.. and they are lucky to own one. Not everyone likes a german shepherd because of their propensity for aggression but as long as I am aware of it, we don't have problems. I've owned them all my life and have never had an experience of aggression. However, I am not so foolish to believe that the potential isn't there.
My heart just breaks for Oreo. I didn't intend to sound callous, but I am a realist and I've worked with enough badly abused dogs to know that some dogs literally lose their minds and it is cruel, in my opinion, to keep them alive - never having known love of another dog or from a human.
Congrats on the new baby! I can't wait to see her pictures. Your lab will have an absolute ball with her! I just posted a picture in the forum of my two younger ones.. they play CONSTANTLY!!!! They also get into alot of mischief if I turn my back on them for an instant. I fully expect to come home one day and see my couch in shreds. LOL
Keari, thanks for the friends add. I'm happy to accept. The thing about that conversation is I totally understand the anger and frustration. Maybe I see a bit of myself in that reaction.. years ago. Now that I'm older and I've been working in abuse situations awhile.. plus 20 years in the criminal justice court system.. I see things from a different perspective. I have seen a few things that the ASPCA has done that I might not agree with.. but I still support the overall program. They have been an incredible ally to animals in need all across the country.. and to demonize them for this incident without all the facts is premature. I've been holding my tongue though.. LOL!!
People post those kinds of video because they know they'll get a lot of attention. The more people watch, the more hits the videos get. I think people should avoid watching those sorts of videos. If people don't watch, they may become less popular a…
