Small Dogs

Whats disgusts me is people seem to be bragging about the number of pets them have. Just because you have xx number of pets does not mean they are all getting to care they deserve and you deserve more animals. It seems like a competition to see who can get the highest number of pets. It is much better to own a few pets, who are getting the best of care, and then when you are confident that you can care for another animal at the same level as your other animals and your current animals will receive the same high level or care. Then I think one could add another pet. Improve the lives of you current pets before adding anymore. This is not directed to anyone inparticular, just something I have noticed.

I just have to say this, I'm not talking about the post I made about Buttercup I'm talking about this thread. WHY does all these threads have to turn into arguments?? What does getting a show dog have to do with Alaska, when zoomer even stated she is thinking ahead. Vet bills may not be "Unafforable" when she gets her new dog. Every seems to always turn into an argument. Warahgirl1995, What does zoomer having 30 pets have to do with anything? Please, stop changing the subject.

Now, I don't agree with the "thinking ahead" either, but I'm sick of seeing threads like these turn into arguments that don't even have to do with the orginial post. Please stop.

I really do rezent that remark,I have had these animals before joining this Forum,And in no way do i try to keep up to anyone i think the few that are making remarks on her defence need to read over the hole post,This is a girl that is in here once a day almways saying about getting new dogs,and having show dogs.Then says"Actually, Alaska's 8 years old and he has 3 tumors we cannot afford right now".Do you think a new dog should even be thought of?When her pet is in need of health Care,I'm not here to bash but everything needs to be put on the table and considered.That is all im trying to say.

I have 6 pets and they get the love, care, and attention they deserve. I make time for them and I know my limit, I cannot have anymore and that's fine. what really bothers me is when your pet's health is going downhill and you are thinking of getting another one and can't even afford the vet bills for that one and why think of getting another one ? I would never think of getting another pet if my pet was ill, I'd rather be there for them and care for them properly than thinking of getting another pet. I probably am not going to get another pet for a lot of years, because I have my hands full with 6, like I said they all get the love and attention and vet care that they need and I know my limit. and I don't resent the remark either as I had 5 when I joined the forum and we rescued Tiger last year in Febuary, because Miagi needed a buddy of his own species.

I'm beginning to just think of Makalya and her friend Sarah as two of the biggest trolls I've ever seen in my life.

Just you girls wait for high school, there'll be different ways to get a lot of attention.

I think that is unnessacery to say about people that you don't know. Not being rude but that's just not polite

Trolls? What do you mean trolls?

If she takes care of them so well, why does Alaska have 3 tumors..

You can't take care of tumors before they're even there How do you stop them before they come? There's no way, IS THERE?

[Iilo]

Are they cysts or tumors?

Either way, no, you can't have prevented it.

It's been debated that there is no real difference between a cyst and a tumor. My vet (and therefore, myself as well) bases it on size. If it's big enough to be checked out to see if it's cancerous, it's a tumor, it should be removed even if it's benign. Depending on placement, it could be causing the dog serious discomfort -- all that fluid mashing against your bone when you sit or lie down, that's no good.

ETA :

I don't need to see you. I don't NEED to know anything about you, because what I do know about you stems from your posts here.

Troll, my dear, is not a synonym for harlot, as it seems you think it to be.

ETA2: And are you yourself not a PTer?

[WarahGirl1995]

We aren't causing the arguments Some of you PTers are.

I say Max might live outside = pters start a fight
I say we have to find Max a home = pters start a fight

I don't have anything to do with these fight things, neither does Makayla. We post an innocent board, then everyone turns it into an argument. It's ridiculous

[Roxyluvsme13]

HA! That makes me laugh. If you don't want arguments, then don't post about getting a new dog when you can't afford the current vet care of your current dogs. AND, of course they're going to get mad at you over the chain, and I already expressed my opinion on that.

one thing to say they aren't the ones causing the arguments and saying that they are is prolly hurting there feelings and that is not nice. but that's what i have to say i can see what Makayla is going through also with Sarah.

Thank you! Thank god someone understands.

Trolls? What do you mean trolls?

This I find interesting, considering finding this in a spree of detective work:

http://www.petoftheday.com/talk/show...ht=liar+sister

No... didn't you read? That was my liar sister... the troll, the owner of all the troll accounts... which were recently deleted by Karen (THANK GOD).

I'm rather curious as to what shows you and Diesel have been to recently? http://www.petoftheday.com/talk/show...ht=high+octane

What was the show called where you placed 2nd in the Working Group?

Oh, and High Octane *is* a sort of kennel name, according to the AKC. There are four dogs registered with that prefix... High Octane Diesel Douglas, High Octane Diesel Fuel, High Octane Unleaded, and one other whose name I cannot recall just offhand. I cannot find a single show result for any of these dogs, no matter how much digging I go through.

For someone who's already gotten a group two... I'm just curious -- where are the win pics? Why can't you continue to show Diesel rather than get a new puppy -- he seems to be RATHER successful.

[Alysser]

NO, really?! *shock and awe*

I just, really dislike all of the excuses (lies) that have been fed to people. What is the point?

So, what does this mean? Deisel really isn't a show dog?

[Iilo]

Diesel is registered with the AKC.
I cannot find any record of his litter, which is highly uncommon, especially for a dog who has received a g2 placement.
I think it's just as bad for you, Briana, to jump to conclusions. She hasn't yet had a chance to answer all my questions. She may very well be Diesel's co-owner, and he may very well be a veteran show dog and the records are just very buried. There's only so much the internet can tell you, and I don't feel like wasting my time calling supers about someone with an inferiority complex on some Pet forum.
