I love them. They are, of course, where the voting goes on. But I have been there for years. For the last 3 yrs part of my daughter and my gifts to each other is the gifts that give. Each year I have given her a certificate from buying a stove.. well here it is. She varies what she gets me.

lol, yes - very "wild". My brother and I were also discussing how much work must have been done on the suspension of that car to carry his "pet".

Kipawa- I believe I will be picking the puppy up because we have discussed what size crate I will need in order to pick him/her up in…however, I wouldn't be opposed to a home visit...and just to clarify because I didn't make it clear- they will be picking the puppy for me, with my input I'm sure...I have no problems in that because they are so thorough they will do a much better job at picking the right puppy for me

I just report them and go on, unopened.

LOL I'd take that bet…. and sell you nice wood filler.

Definitely not as many dog-on trucks as you would think. I'd venture to guess about 10% on the high side. Unfortunately, most truck dogs are very fat.

Very cute!

Loved this thread about a Dachi, but it made me cry, more than once. - http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=577445

ETA: The thread is a little long.as it encompasses a few months, but you can skip all that are not posted by the OP. Still, a heartwarming and heartbreaking thing.

I'm so jealous! I haven't been able to ride in ages. Super expensive in the city to own a horse and hard to find a place that let's you actually lease a horse… walking trail rides get to be a bore after a while. She looks so pretty and great work with her 🙂 If she needs exercise cause of your work schedule, have you tried seeing if there's an equestrian program in your area with a student willing to do some riding? Sometimes they get credit if it matches up with their program or they might like the chance just to practice their schooling 🙂 Unless you're planning to be the only rider, just thought I'd suggest it. Keep up the good work!

So glad they have been found and are now safe.

Oh Fran, I am so sorry to read this.
My thoughts, tears and prayers are with you. I know you love Barney dearly, but most importantly he very much knew that too..you made his life what it was, wonderful, loved and caring…now he is running free again, free from pain.

I think they're advertising the breed because they DON'T want her mistaken for a fox or a wolf, as she looks very wild. Last thing they want is for someone to shoot her thinking she's a dangerous predator. But they're downplaying her "rarity" for fear of exactly what you describe – that someone will just decide to keep her instead. At least she's spayed.

They've supposedly hit Craigslist, FindFido, Petfinder, Dogster, breed mailing lists, rescue groups, even Reddit.

Ryan is a stunning little boy. I love to see children playing with paints etc.

Great pics of your spoiled pets 🙂
I love the second pic down of Spaik and the last one of James, so elegant.

She is on the mend…but I so want to slow her down..as she isn't even a yr old yet, there is a lot of activity and chewing that needs to be addressed.
Hugs and hugs my friend Fran..sorry for your kitty loss.
Tlish, it's hard to keep them "quiet" once the surgery is done...good luck...

Thanks a lot for being concerned! No , luckily it was just a lot of rain, and now it's actually kind of cold ,believe it or not… For us.
Unfortunately there aren't that many "dog friendly" anythings here, it's funny because a lot of times I would be walking by a restaurant or cafeteria that has outdoor sitting area, and they won't let me sit with Ayo, but there are three or four stray dogs just lying right there and that seems to be ok!!!!

My friend belongs to the Society, not her Singer! Just reread my post and realized it sounded like the dog did, lol. He's a smart boy, but not up for signing anything legal - yet…

@Kipawa:

There sure has been a flurry of it over the last couple of days. I want to thank our administrators for always getting this stuff off the forum in such a timely manner. Thanks so much!

Completely agree… It irritates me soooo much, but the administrators have it all gone sooo quickly, thanks guys 😉

Really amazing! What a crazy dog!! 😃 But if it would have been my dog, I wouldn't have allowed all the jumps from those really high places to the ground….

Wags Podengo=Fats Domino. 🙂

Thank you for playing….. 😃
