    The Benefits of a Crate

    Not here to debate, won't tell the crate using folks they're wrong, so please don't tell me that I'm wrong. Just giving my 2 cents so readers can put together a picture of how a varried array of folks feel about this subject. I don't use crates, never have, probably never will. Reason...

    Shelter not being upfront with adopters

    Many "Humane Socieities" are anything but humane. A crisis was narrowly averted here in Southern California, when the owner of a privately owned "humane society" shelter decided that he wanted to convert the facility into a boarding kennel to run for profit. This would involve remodeling...

    Shelter not being upfront with adopters

    Shelter's drive me nuts. I encounter this scenario all the time working in rescue. One of our "shelter scouts" spies a GSD in a local kill shelter. Dog has broken leg and other expensive medical issues related to the dammaged leg (many county shelters will do little more than simply wrap a...

    Feminism and dog ownership (ie, single woman with dog=freak?)

    First off, I'm a guy, so this is living proof that your above quoted opinion carries merrit. I'm engaged. I have a female GSD and my Fiancee has a female Rough Collie. Long story, but we met through our dogs. If Roxy didn't have a dog, I never would have met the love of my life!

    Beer for Dogs

    Folks have been giving dogs real beer for decades, if Dakota wants a little taste of Budweiser she's welcome to it. Much cheaper.

    Anyone heard of this type of rescue work?

    Our GSD rescue just took in a boy who's owner went in for major sugery and could not care for him. Death and medical problems are a major factor in many pets loosing their homes.

    Shed Ender

    There is no ultimate deshedding tool. The furminator works wonders on my smooth coated GSD, but won't even touch my collie.

    5 year old girl killed by Pit Bull

    So pitts should be banned because they're bigger than a pom and can do more dammage? I've NEVER been attacked by a pitt, I HAVE been attacked by a pom. So why should I want to ban pitts and not poms?? What if I approached you with this... Smokey looks to be a LOT bigger than a pom. She...

    5 year old girl killed by Pit Bull

    If I may add something here... 4. The news media, like everybody else is in business to make money. They want to report what gets people's attention, to sell lots of news papers and get high ratings on their tv broadcasts. There are dozens upon dozens of dog bites and attacks in this...

    New Years Day Dakota had a little accident. She got her hind leg caught between two metal steps on an RV. This resulted in her tearing one of her nails off. The vet had to completely remove the remains of that nail. Doctor's orders were that she be kept quiet for a week, with daily bandage...

    Thank God for bite inhibition

    My Dakota is the most passive, most gentile dog you will ever meet. However she is TERRIFIED of blowdryers. The one and only time I tried to use one on her she went berserk, screaming and struggling hard to get away. She didn't reach the point of wanting to bite me in defense, and I won't...
