Something Could Be Terribly Wrong

[Roxyluvsme13]

You All May Not Know Me, but I DO CARE ABOUT MY DOGS! I care about all my pets...They are getting the best for them! I know you people dont believe in keeping a dog chained all the time, but the possibility of her coming inside all the time or being loose all the time are out of the question! SHE DOES NOT LIKE INSIDE! SHE LIKES BEING OUTSIDE! CagneyDog she has more than 5 feet to use the bathroom in, and she has more than 10ft to run. She has almost always lived outside! SHE PROBABLY WILL FOR A WHILE! This is my dog, my life, and you people dont even know me like you said. I am a good person, and I care about my dogs. Look how Happy Roxy looks! THATS HOW SHE ALWAYS LOOKS!!!!

I have no doubt that she is happy ot see you! She probably had no human interaction all day! No doubt shes happy to at least see someone.

That is EXACTLY what I was thinking.

FCL I never said I do know everything.
Sorry but I don't agree that just b/c she says Roxey won't get aggressive doesn't mean it will happen.
My neighbor has a dog that is in and out - One nite he got loose and came over to my house. He was acting half starved. He has never shown any aggression before I gave him a pile of Keegan's treats and b/c he was so hungry when Keeg sniffed him he attacked. Course It might have been simple food aggression. The only thing I could do was hit him with the treat container. () I had no choice. Keeg can stand up for herself but I didn't want both of them to get hurt. I had no spray bottle.

Briana- this is just a question. Would your landlord allow you to get a pen? One of those chain link ones? Not the ideal situation but would be better then being on that skinny little chain for the rest of her natural life.

She had a pen at our old house, and we couldnt take it with her. Basically theres no room for one, and we probably couldnt get one anyways...

Well if there is a no room for a pen outside then that is ur first clue that she shouldn't be out there because there isnt enough room.

Flatcoatlover are the same person as Brianna, or do u know eacother outside of pt??

[CagneyDog]

I know & have known a lot of dogs that are/were chained that are not & never were aggressive. Sure they are exposed to more cirumstances that may make them aggressive but the chain itself does not make them aggresive. So cagneydog if you knew anything at all about dogs you should know this.
And stop making assumptions before you know the facts, you can een see in he past pictures that there is more than 5 feet of chain, and it's not even a steel chain.

You can see that Roxy is cared for pretty well. In every picture I see grass not all dirt & have never seen any piles of poop either.

Granted it's still not right to chain a dog all the time but hey better than a lot of other circumstances that she could be in.

I do also agree that she should be spending less time on the computer & more time exercising Roxy.

Yah your right, I know nothing about dogs even i do nothing, at least i know that what brianna is doing is not humane. YOU DONT KNOW THE FACTS EITHER. YOU ARE ALSO MAKING ASSUMPTIONS. I never said that all dogs on chains become agressive.

Actually your post did say that but it is edited now.

And I was just being sarcatstic when I said that you must not know anything about dogs, because you said

and flatcoatluver, if u were indeed a trainer, you would know this.

Not everyone knows everything. Even the best trainer might not know some things, just like an awesome dog owner like you or anyone else here may not know everything about dogs.

And I NEVER said I knew everything either.

I'm done with this thread, I'm not even going to read any more replies, seriously. It's disgusting now.

It is going no where but upsetting more & more people that don't need to be this upset over something like this.
We already said what we thought & how we feel and we already offered advice. There is nothing more to be done here folks.

umm no i am not the same person as brianna we talk to each other on msn. we just have simalar names (BREANNE IS MY NAME)

[Flatcoatluver]

ya probally don't want to here what i have to say but to bad!!! I agree i am sorry briana but i am afraid of roxy getting agressive because it happens and it happens alot, plus you also can risk the change of roxy getting hung on the chain. I work at a shelter and everywhere in that shelter we have signs of aggresion from the chain. its like a horrible disease (sp?)
