Cancer Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 Re: The Last Word . . . I have now been up for 23 hours straight . . . Damn election . . . Good grief, even I went to bed at 11 last night (my time, about 8.5 hours ago). I can see the rest of the world being interested, but staying up? To first order, the POTUS has very little impact on your life... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 Re: The Last Word We had only one really successful dog while I was a kid, and that was a German shepherd. I understand the breeders have ruined the ones here in the States. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 Re: The Last Word I've heard that said before, and AFAICT, when words gets out that a breed is intelligent, the breeders turn it into spazzy, psychotic but pretty imbeciles as fast as they can churn out the puppies. I think the breeders need to be fed to their dogs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 Re: The Last Word That's why I never get registered or pure breed. I always go for the mutts or shelter animals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 Re: The Last Word it's been ... over 40 years since I participated in picking a dog. That one was a farm puppy, paperless, probably pure shepherd but no way to prove it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliceTheOwl Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 Re: The Last Word There's a Facebook group devoted to finding a mixed-breed shelter puppy that wouldn't trigger allergies in the daughter who has them. There are probably other organizations doing this, as well. I find myself beyond amused that the biggest news story after November 5 is, "What kind of puppy?" Well, just so long as we don't end up with "Puppygate." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
