    Hello! And a question...

    Hey Grammy! Nice to be back. A crate!!! LOL. That's funny. I should do that. A few weeks ago my brother was over with his wife and daughter and I looked out the back at the doggies and said `I wonder how my children are doing?'. He said `You won't be able to call them that after a...

    Hello! And a question...

    Wow that's amazing! That's exactly what I'm looking for! Thank you - I've contacted them already to see if they will ship to Australia. The dogs are very well behaved and well mannered in the car. They would not attempt to breach any kind of barrier and would sit quietly. Especially as...

    I'm bumping this - nobody's got anything for me?

    Hello! And a question...

    Hi all - jeepers, it's been a long time since I was here - time flies doesn't it? I haven't deliberately neglected anyone (lol) just had some major life changes and one of them is what I'm back to ask advice about. I am six months pregnant with our first baby and we are very excited. I've...

    Whoopie Goldberg defends Vick

    I think that is probably one of the best posts I have ever read, on this subject or anything else, anywhere. Wow.

    Whoopie Goldberg defends Vick

    Did anyone see Dr Phil on Leno the other night? And what he had to say about Michael Vick? It was the most unabashed, honest and true account of Vick's actions I have heard so far from the mouth of any other celebrity on this case - a pure and unadulterated criticism, not an ounce of an excuse...

    I saw a guy wearing a vick jersey today

    Far from young? Goodness me - 20 is just a baby. And I mean that affectionately, not rudely. If only I was 20 again. I'm really sorry to hear about your dog - that's so very sad. Another reason that dogfighting causes untold misery, not just for the dogs involved but for so many other...

    I saw a guy wearing a vick jersey today

    It sounds to me as though you guys are both pretty young (just an observation). I think that perhaps you don't really understand the full enormity of dogfighting? Of how bad it really is? Here are some videos. I have to warn you, they're not nice. But I think they should be watched by...

    I saw a guy wearing a vick jersey today

    There's no need. I am secure in my knowledge, my age and experience, and my convictions. I don't need to resort to childish sarcasm and points-keeping when someone has an argument I don't have an answer to. :) Angel - fair enough. I think we can both agree that Vick and his actions belong...

    I saw a guy wearing a vick jersey today

    Actually, my ex-husband was a drug user. I know first-hand how much they can hurt other people. But he didn't keep me chained up, torture me every day of my life to make me aggressive, and then wash and drug me, stick me in a pit with another person just like me and bet on which one of us...

    I saw a guy wearing a vick jersey today

    Yeah, you're right. I am. What he did wasn't so bad. He's such a great guy and I hope my kids grow up to be just like him (and those who support him).

    I saw a guy wearing a vick jersey today

    My facts are perfectly straight. I have read all the court documents available and everything else on this case that I can. Yes, he was indicted for his part in killing eight dogs. HIS operation, the HE funded called Bad Newz Kennels, under whose name HE bred and produced dogs specifically...

    I saw a guy wearing a vick jersey today

    I don't mean to sound rude, and I'm not trying to be rude. But this is a subject (dogfighting, not Michael Vick) that is something I am passionate about because it is the worst form of animal cruelty and a HUGE problem in the US and elsewhere. A huge problem. Being a dog lover doesn't...

    I saw a guy wearing a vick jersey today

    Hmm. I guess the difference between Hendrix and Michael Vick was that Hendrix didn't torture and brutalise animals for fun. Pretty sure the only living creature he ended up killing was himself. Sure, Vick admitted it. If he hadn't, he'd be in a lot more trouble. Not hard to see why he...

    Bribing and Treating - Need a bit of assistance

    So far you haven't provided enough motivation for him. If food is his motivator, keep giving him food until he knows that he'll get something good EVERY time he comes. Then and only then can you start randomly giving treats for coming. So his expectations will still be high. It's not bribery...

    I can't believe it, I just can't. My poor Ruby-girl...

    Well, she just had a small meal and a big drink. She ate up all her tablets in her meal and didn't spaz out too much when I gave her her Propalin shot. :D She just wagged her tail for no reason for a full five minutes and when that happens we know that Ruby is back. Normally her tail never...

    I can't believe it, I just can't. My poor Ruby-girl...

    Thank you guys. Again, I am amazed at the love of dogs. When I left the room this morning to get a fresh towel for her to lie on, she wagged her tail when I came back, and gave me a kiss, before she went back to sleep. Sweet girl. That made me cry! Jason you're right about staying calm -...

    I can't believe it, I just can't. My poor Ruby-girl...

    Yesterday morning: Ruby has been on her Propalin for a few days. Every time we give it to her she quiets down for half an hour or so, gets all subdued, and I rang the vet yesterday just to check this was ok. They said it was - and quite common. Early afternoon: I'm walking through the house...

    What will u do if you see a person like this?

    I would have said - `by all means, please reinforce my dog's training. He needs to have his mind stimulated and it's good for him to learn to listen to commands from people other than me. But, if you're going to, could you at least use methods that might actually have some chance of working?'...

    I want to be the favorite person

    It's funny - Max used to get upset because I am definitely Chester's favourite. He loves Max, but he adores me. It's pretty hard. That was until Max realised that I am the one who gives Chester all the love and cuddles and affection - Max is very, very affectionate with them but Chester and I...
