    Yet, I am the one attacking? I don’t know what your problem with BRAT is but evidently you have one.<<

    Yet, I am the one attacking? I don’t know what your problem with BRAT is but evidently you have one.Your responses were unhinged, unrelated to what was being addressed an truly unworthy of more of a comment than this.

    I was addressing your attack of a member. Period. Whatever her mistakes, you turned it into abusive personal name calling.

    Yes, I have documented issues with Brat. None of which need airing here. None of which have anything to do with this thread other than acknowledging others also have issues, but it doesn't help the dog to address those thing when the dog is and should be the only issue. Your pretense of knowing everything on both sides neither helps nor impresses... nor excuses your personal abuse.

  • Unless you can prove she lied or defamed BRAT, you are doing the same to her.
    And yes, a moderator to remove your repeated personal attacks that are against forum rules.

  • Heather, when you or any client refuses to follow any professional's advice, they would be irresponsible and total idiots to continue to be listed as your doctor/vet/pharmacists/ dentists, whatever. Period. It is very telling that no vet will treat him if he is in your care. It says you have blown off all of their advice or gained such a reputation they won't risk it. You have managed to put the dog into an unsafe position of having no veterinarian. It doesn't matter if you are right about the meds if you lose the dog and he is euthanized. You are old enough to know it is necessary to convince a professional of your view. My vets have always met me at least halfway even when they disagreed because I went to them with solid research and specialists in the field willing to discuss the case with them. Add to this, BRAT owns the dog, not you. The vets have to answer to the legal owners.

    You locked in on sawdust and one brand. They said you could find an equitable brand. There is no research or medical proof that a dog needs freshly cooked meat.

    Your posts can still be seen by the moderators, and the police can demand copies if this issue escalates to a legal challenge.

    You have yourself and the dog backed into a corner. Adopt him, or offer to hold him while they euthanize him if you are really sure that is their intent. That they are pushing for intervention is a clear sign that you are about to lose any options. The police and animal control can appear at your door and simply take the dog. If you care about this dog, you need to be sure what you need to do to save him. You are not going to find that through venting on this board.

  • @dagodingo Just stop. She didn't say it was ONLY sawdust. And it is you who continue to make all-knowing claims. You have no better insight into Brat's intentions than anyone unless you sit on the board or tap their lines. And that isn't helping the dog for you to keep attacking her personally or defending Brat. It's about the dog. Not you puffing up about how you are reporting her, hope they get the dog, hope she's sued etc. Just focus on the dog.
    I care for basenjis. I don't equate being for or against or totally unconcerned with BRAT to be a test for loving the breed. Again, you want to keep on puffing up your defense of Brat. Focus on the dog.
    As for her posts, I have addressed her posts.. without calling her names or being abusive. Maybe that's why you missed them.

  • @debradownsouth She said it was sawdust, please go ahead and show me that RC satiety is sawdust? Link me to where it states RC satiety is sawdust as the statement says?

    The more you continue to defend the indefensible, the more I lose respect.

    You are equally implying that you know BRATs intentions and the facts here more than I do. It is you “puffing”yourself up and insulting me.

    Damn right I am focusing on the dog, you go right ahead and tell me it’s better to leave the dog where he is with no medical care.

    Go read their ingredients and research. Beyond bored with your obsession.

    The more you continue to defend the indefensible, the more I lose respect.

    No idea what "indefensible" you are accusing me of defending. But I'm pretty sure you know how deeply I care about your level of respect. I do care how you keep going off topic with personal attacks so I'm going to simply stop responding to your broken record.

    You are equally implying that you know BRATs intentions and the facts here more than I do. It is you “puffing”yourself up and insulting me.

    Speaking of lies.... there is one. I said NO ONE knows their intention who isn't on the board or wiretapping. Since I do either, that puts me in the "no one knows their intentions." Surprised you are so frothing you tried to twist that.

    Damn right I am focusing on the dog, you go right ahead and tell me it’s better to leave the dog where he is with no medical care.
    See above. You're making things up. I didn't say that either.

  • @debradownsouth You continue to attack me, and defend someone who admits to abusing a basenji.

    Many times I have seen you do the same to others and stayed out of it, not in future. YOU are the one attacking people on here.

    I replied to the OP and YOU were the one to then accuse me of attacking and interject yourself on your high horse as the arbiter of forum decorum and rules.

  • @debradownsouth Here is the ingredients list, show me where it says sawdust?

    https://www.royalcanin.com/us/dogs/products/vet-products/canine-satiety-support-weight-management-dry-dog-food

    Btw, the statement “is sawdust” implies that it “is sawdust”. It’s like saying Coke is water. It contains water but is not water. To state Coke “is water” is incorrect. Further, the threshold for defamation lawsuits hinges on actual malice. As such, the statement “they want me to feed Declan sawdust, would you feed your dog sawdust” given in the derogatory context (along with her statement that RC is “crap”), would clearly be defamation.

    So having cleared that up, what would you like me to point out next?

  • @debradownsouth “Damn right I am focusing on the dog, you go right ahead and tell me it’s better to leave the dog where he is with no medical care.”

    “See above. You're making things up. I didn't say that either.”

    See above, I didn’t say you did, I said “go ahead and tell me”

    Reading comprehension problem?

    I have notices with my guy it very much depends how the small dog acts around him. If the little one is confident and relaxed Watson treats them like any other dog and will play. If they are snarky and unsure he can become a little intense and I will step in and redirect him. He is always carefully supervised when we go to the dog park…the main place where he encounters other dogs... He enjoys playing with other dogs and is pretty social. I am careful not to allow him to meet other dogs while he is on leash since he is a bit leash reactive.

    @DebraDownSouth: By original, do you mean the breeders or are they the ones who turned her over to rescue? Glad she is in a loving home! Debra, it is Lolly's original owner who was concerned for her, for some reason she had to give her up, the second owner put her with the dogs trust instead of giving her back. Lolly came originaly from a petshop :eek: I have now on request from Lolly's new owner been able to put them in touch with each other so that information can be shared. Lolly seems as if she's got a super new home.

    I too am a proud owner of a rescue basenji! I stumbled across his picture on petfinder one day and said to my boyfriend Brian there is a basenji at Pet Orphans (all breed rescue in Van Nuys)! So we went over for a visit and he looked a little ruff on the edges under weight, dull coat, a little dandruff, puppymill"ish looking and about two years old. I was a little apprehensive at first, Brian on the other hand feel in love the first second. He said to me I have had basenjis for years now and I know this one is special. We took the little guy home and the rescue was hassle free we didnt have to deal with twenty million questions or home checks it was great. I beleve there is a basenji lover working there because after I have noticed they have had a few other pure B's and cute B mixes. We knew we were in love with how cute he was but we never imagined how well behaved, sweet, and easy going this little dog turned out to be. From the B's that have been in the family, one from a pet store,two from breeders, and our rescue the rescue has been the best behaved, best temperment, and the most well rounded out of them all. Everyday He puts a smile on my face and joy in my heart. I love my rescue.
