what do you think of Dogs

hey_kittay:
This story has been breaking for days now and the horrible extent of the abuse of these animals for profit to humans makes me sick. I hope the people who participated in this torture of innocent animals rot in Hell, and never see the light of day. http://us.cnn.com/2013/08/26/justice/alabama-dog-fight-ring/index.html?hpt=hp_t2 Peace & Love 4 all Creation.
A$$holes. They should be strung up by their b*lls. "In one yard, 114 dogs, the majority tethered to heavy chains, sat in 90 degree heat, scratching at fleas, with no fresh water or food visible anywhere on the property. Some appeared to have no access to water at all, and many exhibited wounds, scars and other conditions consistent with dogfighting," the ASPCA said in a statement. "Makeshift, filthy doghouses -- many improvised from plastic and metal barrels and others made of chipboard with rotting wood floors and rusted metal roofing -- provided the only shelter in the sweltering heat and humidity. Some dogs pulled at chains and cables that were tethered to cinder blocks and car tires. A female dog did her best to tend to six puppies, just weeks old, with no food or water, in a pen littered with trash and feces." "These dogfighters abuse, starve and kill their dogs for the supposed 'fun' of watching and gambling on a dogfight. Their behavior is deplorable, will not be tolerated, and will be punished to the full extent of the law."

THANKS VERY MUCH, KITTAY! I bookmarked it and am going to be researching family guard dogs! Must be sure a guard dog doesn't think our Yorkies & Cats are snacks!

My schnauzer barks at everyone who comes close to the house, even my husband, and he loves him. Not me, though or children.

Oh yeah... COMPLETELY agree. It's one of those situations where I refuse to accept any kind of 'rehabilitated/ paid their debt' bullsh!t. Unforgivable. In fact, those caught should have to get a tattoo on their forehead.

Once you pick a breed or mutt please be sure to check your local shelter. They have purebreds too. And remember petfinder.com

THANKS VERY MUCH KITTAY! We're picking up our new family guard dog tomorrow! We're getting a beautiful 2 month old Australian Shepherd puppy! Can't wait to introduce her to our Yorkies & our cats! Our 1st choice was a Russian Black Terrier but the price was out of sight! Our kid was hoping he could sag off school tomorrow, we've got a 2 1/2 hr drive to get our puppy. We told him he could wait at home with his sister & the twins! He's so excited!

It turned out that the female Aussie Shepherd we were supposed to get was sold right out from under us! Mis-communication - we were never told we needed to put down a deposit. Last Mon., we brought home a wonderful male Aussie Shepherd puppy. He's so sweet & gentle. Our Yorkies aren't very happy with him. Our vet told us that Yorkies are very territorial & possessive when it comes to their owners & it will take some time before they accept the puppy.
-
Our wee Yorkies are something else! Yesterday, they weren't quite as snarly with our Aussie puppy. But today, while taking all in our yard, the Yorkies started snarling & baring their teeth at him. When my husband & I have all 3 dogs on the sofa, the Yorkies watch the puppy play with their toys, but don't get bent out of shape over it!

WE adopted Lucy so we don't actually know how old she is. So we celebrate a "GOTCHA" day! And tomorrow is her gotcha day. We've had her for 6 years. Time goes by so fast. They said she was maybe 5 when we got her so now she is about 11 or so. Sweetest coonhound ever!

Happy (Early) "Gotcha Day Lucy!" Glad it happened for all of you
-
Thanks fool! It is today...we had to go out about 30 miles to a job so we took Lucy to a park out there. She loved it. We probably scared a few bikers with her howls at some scents she was tracking! Lucy loved the place though...lotsa trees for her to sniff around. Nce day.

2 days or more of rain (My dog acted up at night .... getting a hold of the wrong things like shoes instead of his toys .... getting underfoot and close to tripping me ....) Today was cool and windy .... but not raining I took my dog around the area that I go .... two times around ..... I think he liked it ..... I am guessing that he will be calmer and more kick back tonight (And I enjoyed the walk ..... but this is about dogs )
