  1. Don't you guys just HATE it when a new member comes here, asks something, and when we answer saying "Hey listen, maybe it would be better this way" get all pissed and point to a specific member and say "Thanks for your useful advice" then leave???? Its happening a lot lately. Its like they're not even asking for advice at all! HELLO PEOPLE, don't come here if you want us to sugarcoat our replies!

    Not targeting you Carol. :) Just using an example![/size]

  2. Yes, I am uncomfortable around certain dogs. Not because I'm scared of them, but because I know if we ever got into a situation in which the dog started getting agressive, or bit someone, I would be completely clueless as to what to do (not experienced enough).

  3. [quote name='Michele'][quote]But anything valuable in the car was still there, such as my game boy sp sitting in the middle seat.

    the only thing valuable in the car was your companion.....geez....[/quote]
    Michele, I think she was just trying to imply that things a possible robber could have stolen were still there. :wink:

    Didn't read the whole post yet. :oops: Hope you find Kiani.

  4. JessieM05, did you look at the links Mutts4Me posted? Or Gooeydog's post? They were really helpful.

    Even if English Bulldogs had so many health problems, the cure to this [i]isn't to breed hybrids and sell them off as new breeds.[/i] These breeders are breeding them for so much money, its impossible to believe their intentions really are that good. Mixing the English Bulldog with another breed will NOT give you a healthier dog, all those excuses about longer snouts and all that BS (again, here Gooeydog's post comes into play).. its the exact same story with Labradoodles and Puggles and all that other shit.

    Believe me, these breeders intentions are to get as much money off people. A TRUE English Bulldog lover wouldn't do this to the breed, I wouldn't think so, anyway.

    Anyway, hope I could clear things up a bit! :)

  5. [quote name='JackieMaya'][quote name='Rowie-the-Pooh']You know what we should do from now on? If we find that someone on here is up to something fishy, we should say so from the get go and not try to stifle our feelings because s/he is our friend. It could save us a lot of heartache.[/quote]

    Don't we already do this? We are known as mean prison bitches, you know.[/quote]
    True :lol: . But what I meant was that some of us felt something fishy about DAK since the very beginning but didn't say anything because everyone else really liked her. Then we began to like her ourselves until she lied to us..Not blaming our actions, tough! :)

  6. Actually, I don't think Zoey was Justin's dog before they met. I think they got her after they got together, because I remember her saying five months after getting Zoey, they got Cody to "keep her company". :roll:

  7. If you leave, that's your choice. But believe me, I HAVE tried seeing it from your point of view. And you've brought up many good points, but not enough to make me agree with owning wild/exotic animals as pets. I just have one more question, unless you've already left for good.

    Another thing I was wondering.. what about the wild instincts that are still there in the animal? Maybe I missed the answer somewhere back there, but I was wondering how you deal with hunting instincts and such?


    There is no such thing as wild instincts, IMO. Any instinct found in a wild animal can be found in a domestic. Dogs and cats have hunting instincts. So do ferrets. How we deal with those instincts depends on the animal. Keeping is away from potential prey isn't that hard. If you could be potential prey, raise the animal to see you as "companion/friend/nonprey/whatever you want to call it" and don't do something dumb around the animal like lay on the ground and scream like a dying rabbit!

    Aren't wolves instincts more deep rooted than a domesticated animal?
