Well, there are violent Buddhists out there, just like there are violent [Jews/Christians/Muslims]. Look at Sri Lanka, for example, which recently ended a thirty year civil war between their Buddhist ethnic group (the Sinhalese) versus their Hindu ethnic group (the Tamils). Really nasty stuff...

I visited a small dog breeder once--I don't want to say her kennel name in public, but I can assure you anyone looking at her health testing and the dogs she produced would consider her a reputable breeder. Breeding to better the breed and so on. Also well-known within her breed. So, as I...

Shelters are usually waaay less picky, at least around here. Especially if they have to euthanize for space. I mean, no, they don't want their dogs going to Joe who's been brought up on animal abuse charges three times, but they usually don't care if you have a fence, etc.

I'm sorry you were turned down, that sucks. :( Rescues have the right to make their own rules, I guess, but I wish they wouldn't pluck all the dogs of their breed out of the (usually less picky and less expensive) animal shelters. Some people are going to go out and find a reputable...

What's up with posing puppies with rolls of toilet paper and soup cans??

I'm so sorry. :(

A couple people mentioned Harvard and Yale as "expensive" schools . . . I just wanted to throw in that IF YOU CAN GET INTO THE IVY LEAGUE (very hard to do because they have sooo many applicants) they are GREAT places for low-income students because they cover 100% of need. I applied to a...

Frankly, I think it's ridiculous to idolize the "good old days dogmen." Sure, they thought what they were doing was right. In their own way, they probably did love their dogs. I read an article where a puppy miller's barn burnt down and they were regretting that they wouldn't see the "sweet...

Oh no. :( I'm so sorry for your loss. :(

Interesting . . . I'd like to see more studies done on this, but I suppose with all the human problems in the world, dog diets are low on the list of most scientists. I do remember Consumer Reports discovering that most chicken (for humans) was contaminated with salmonella, including organic...

LOL @ Renee's response . . . Perfect! I hope to God she doesn't work there--if she does, I hope you can get her in trouble! What a rude, stupid remark!!

They don't look anything like chihuahuas to me, aside from them both being small breeds. :confused:

I fed my dog Pedigree her entire life (14 years) and rehomed a cat. I've been on one side of an issue, then changed my mind. *shrug* Yeah, I'm sure a lot of people have incidents in their past but just stay mum on them. Most people don't make up elaborate stories about their pets...

What is this, National Blame the Victim Week? Hey, let's look at what the kid was wearing . . . Maybe his clothes meant he was "asking for it." :rolleyes:

I think your rule is completely fair. Some responsible dog owners do have intact dogs, but there are also a lot of people who don't get their dogs fixed because they're just lazy and can't be bothered. I've found the ratio skewed more heavily towards the latter in real life (not on...

Yeah, definitely a lot of misinformation and people saying "My pit bull gets along with dogs, so pit bulls aren't DA." (Because it's IMPOSSIBLE that your dog-friendly pit bull is the exception.) I can understand why she's upset, though . . . I'd be upset too if my dog "ripped the ear off...

Well, my first thought was, "So do the dogs SING?" But it appears human actors appear as the characters at some points and dogs at others. ;) But they do have real dogs on stage! INTERVIEW: Joel Slaven, ‘101 Dalmatians’ dog trainer | Inside Access The dogs of The 101 Dalmatians...

Wow, I was disturbed by this concept BEFORE it turned out the scanners can see you nude. This is going to be abused . . . duh. Does it show your actual skin? I'ma gonna write "DEAR TSA, F--- OFF!" on my stomach in Magic Marker the next time I fly the not-so-friendly skies.

Is that Is that a Pokemon on his head?

All part of apartment life! You learn to tune it out. I live on a busy street, too, and I tune that out as well. I realize it must be a big transition after living in a single-family house, though! But it's all part of apartment life, as long as your neighbors aren't throwing parties at 3...
