This story has some elements of urban myth in it - see http://www.snopes.com/critters/crusader/stuffedtoys.asp
As they point out its not only stuffed toys that are treated with anti fungals/bacterials - fillings of duvets/doonas/quilts/comforters/ pillows/cushions/pet beds are all potentially treated with the same chemicals.
Also there is no details that if you wash toy/quilt whether the chemical is removed/reduced.
I would also be very surprised if there were any standards imposed on what is deemed appropriate or safe for pet toys - there seems to be little or no regulation as to what can be fed/added to pet food around the world.
That is not to say that there are very good manufacturers of pet food/toys who take the research upon themselves. However if I went along to my local craft store and bought a commercially available filling, how would I know whether it had been treated or not?
I totally forgot to mention Placebo and the Moody Blues, that is two more of my favourite bands and I totally forgot to mention those in my first post > shame on me < hahaha
I like Juno Reactor too, ohhh I like so many music, and you are so right that nothing beats live music, well when it is performed well ofcourse, sometimes people better shut up live and let their music get sampled :p
I went several times to Bon Jovi, 1x U2, 1x Pink, 1x Rammstein , 1x The Cure and I am finally going to Depeche Mode this year !!! I also wanted to go to Rammstein, PLacebo, The Prodigy and Muse this year, but I was too late for Rammstein and Muse and well to be honoust….cant spend all my " extra " money on concerts at the moment ;) I wish I could hahahahaha :p
I think in AKC they have to be 7 yrs old. In CKC they have a pee wee class where it's even younger, 4 yrs. And in UKC they can be 2! lol And I think in the youngest ones they can have an "assistant" handler. :) I know I've seen Laurie Soutar going around the ring with her granddaughter in UKC. She has Lakilanni Greyhounds and are regulars at the lure trials.
PS, that's for juniors. I think for the breed ring there is no age stipulation as long as they are in control of the dog. Kathy?
@luvsmy2bs:

Shorthand for Multiple Daily Injections.
I'm on a forum for parents of children with Diabetes and that's what we call it.
@Quercus:
:rolleyes: Ugh…maybe instead of marrying a dog, he should enlist people to stone and club him while he is 'mating'. Unfortunately I can't get the image of the original dogs being murdered while breeding.....
Personally, I don't think he should be allowed to breed, but your suggestion is the next best thing.;)
