I know it causes agression I know over 50 dogs that had got agressive on a chain! I told her this she told me that roxy would never be agressive and then i stopped there!! I have a neighbor that has a beutiful choclate lab and is kept on a leash and is agressive!!!! My dad has gotten in a big fight with the owner about that!!! WE know that it is causes agression my baby eneded up in the vet over ngiht because the lab attacked, we finally turned the dog in after that.

Well if you know all of the consequences keeping a dog on a chain causes you wouldn't be supporting Brianna.

Dogs are similiar to wolves, they like being part of the pack (in this case her family) and Roxy isn't so I can't imagin her happy.

Roxy isnt a prisoner, she deserves so much better!

[Roxyluvsme13]

Yeah, I agree with that too...chaining a dog is NOT right at all!!! Get a fence!!!

I WILL SAY THIS AGAIN! WE DONT OWN OUR HOUSE OR THE LAND AND WE CANT GET A FENCE!!!!! I ALREADY SAID THAT!

[CagneyDog]

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.

[Flatcoatluver]

I do agree with you there, she does diserve better, but I do not agree with roxy going to a differnt home. I'm still holding you against that for saying she does diserve a differnt home. I'm afraid of roxy getting agressive. But theres nothing i can do, and i do belive later on roxy will end up inside living in her house

[Roxyluvsme13]

Roxy has NEVER growled in her WHOLE life. SHE WOULDN'T HURT ANYBODY. You people dont know me or Roxy. You dont know the whole situation. Roxy may deserve better..But Better wouldnt make her happier. She is VERY happy outside, and I know tons of dogs that have it way worse than she does! Nobody wanted Roxy! Bet ya didnt know that! NOBODY CARED ABOUT HER! SHE WAS GOING TO DIE! But I DO CARE ABOUT HER AND TINK, TOO!

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.

Sorry but you don't know that. Most people whose children are mauled by their family dog thought the same thing.
Why don't you stop defending yourself here and go outside and play with Roxy.

[shais_mom]

precisely

Stop blaming us - we are just giving our opinions.
And I never thought of it but you are exactly right if she spent half as much time out with her chained up dog that never gets off leash as she does here. We wouldn't have this discussion.
Her excuse is she has a lot to do.... Well she was on fall break this week and I just went to her recent posts and I have 20 posts on each page and went back 9 pages since 10-8-05.
Know what - that =



180 in less then 7 days.

And may I add that most of them are attention getting ones.

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...

I'm not trying to get attention. I'm just trying to post about my pets and make friends.

I did not mean all your posts. I just mean MOST of the ones from this past week.

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.

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??

[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?)
