philburger1 Posted March 18, 2005 Author Share Posted March 18, 2005 Wow, that's really cool.....Did your wife find her through a breeder then? 279698[/snapback] Yes. In Dunn, North Carolina. About 45 minutes from were we live. They have ads for white sheperds in Field and Stream. I heard they are considered there own seperate breed now. I heard there are also breeders who sell pure black and dark red German Sheperds as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevestojan Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 on the subject of dogs... ever since I had my pooch, every once in a while (about once every 2 weeks or so), she has what I can only describe as what sounds like a asthma attack. She makes this realy weird sound and she takes this really deep breaths (you can actually see her rib cage expand). It lasts a solid minute or so (it's ALMOST like she's choking, but she's not). She walks around while its happening. If I start petting her and talking nice to her, it stops alot quicker... it's obviously nothing terrible wrong (although obviously scary and uncomfortable for her), and the vet said she would almost need to see it happen herself to tell me (she listened to her breathing and said it was fine). Wondering if anyone even knows what the hell I'm talking about.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hogboy Swine Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 This is an OUTRAGE. I like hounds. Now if that story was about a poodle or a cat, it would be a "feel good" story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda of like when we cough after drinking a class of water to fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tcali Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 Dog Survives Having Nails Driven Into Skull SPRINGFIELD, Mo. -- A hound mix named Trucker has survived having two long nails driven into his skull by his owner, according to Kansas City TV station KMBC. The nails were driven into his head with a hammer, according to KYTV in Springfield. The nails just missed the dog's brain and major nerves. Veterinarians were able to remove the nails, but Trucker will be blind in one eye and deaf. Dr. Robin Toner, an emergency veterinarian, said it is the worst case of animal abuse that the workers have seen. One nail was allegedly driven into the dog's skull, and another was hammered into his cheekbone, KYTV reported. "It's an amazing thing that he could forgive people for what they have done to him because he is the sweetest, friendliest loving dog. He kisses your face and wags his tail when he sees you. For him to be that forgiving, I don't (know) of any person who could be that forgiving. We could really learn something from him," said Melissa Sartin of the Castaway Animal Rescue Effort (C.A.R.E) shelter. http://www.wral.com/family/4294938/detail.html 278594[/snapback] Gee--lets pick out stories (horror stories ) so we can all feel like we are really good people in comparison.And lets make fun of Michael Jackson while we are at it so we can all feel really normal in comparison.

I asked a question, what the hell is wrong with people who would do such a thing. Oh, and Michael Jackson is a freak and a menance. Lock him up. You must be one of his fans who still breaks out his pleather red jacket and shiny glove on friday nights, and dances around your parents basement.

mcjeff215 Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 I can definitely vouch for 1 and 3.....dont' have much experience with border collies, but that makes sense. Poodles have that 'foo foo' image, but I tell you what.....I won't speak for the little ones, cause I actually find them quite annoying. But standards are smart, athletic, emotional, intuitive, protective, loyal, good with kids, and they dont' shed. The big ones are chick magnets, too.......I take mine in the car whenever I go on a fast food run or whatever, and I swear the girl in the window loves on him almost without fail 279348[/snapback] My grandfather taught his poodle how to play a few songs on the freakin' piano. Was on Buffalo TV a few times during the 70's and 80's showing it off. -Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must be one of his fans who still breaks out his pleather red jacket and shiny glove on friday nights, and dances around your parents basement. 281286[/snapback] I wasn't defending him(Michael)--and if he gets sentenced to prison(which he probbly wont--money talks) its pretty much acknowledged that he will commit suicide.-I dont think they are gonna let him spend hours in prison doing his make-up etc. And I didn't say you overtly put the story up to feel good.-It is just classic--with our fascination with serial killers...or even just talking about some p of s criminal that we happen to know----there is in the back of our minds the 'satisfaction' of knowing we are not that bad......or not that strange.Makes us feel good temporarily. Who knows why the guy nailed nails into the dog's head???--Maybe his parents tortured him or maybe he ws born with chromosomal damage or maybe he sold his soul to the devil.
