Small Dogs

[luvofallhorses]

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 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.

troll: One who posts a deliberately provocative message to a newsgroup or message board with the intention of causing maximum disruption and argument

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.

We post boards that should never start a fight, but someone says something and then an argument starts. It shouldn't make you laugh because it's true

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.

I meant other PTers

Miss.Bri.. you have no room to talk. you who couldnt even get your own mother to take YOU to the ER/doctor over your ankle,, because she didnt have the 'money' at the time.. makes me wonder if she'll take Roxey or Lilly into the vets if something pops up thatll cost over a thousand dollars..


heres your quote incase you forgotten about it.

Ouch.. She just says she can't afford the ER bill though.. because it'd be around $1000 +.. but she'd like to take me, yet she won't.. =/

link to the quote found here http://petoftheday.com/talk/showpost...8&postcount=24

anyway... my point is.. its up to the 'parent/s' of the kids to take care of these animals when it comes to 'money' they are the ones providing the income.. not the kid. i dont care how old or young he or she is,, unless that person has a job their own then he or she is not responsible in those fields for the animal/s. you wouldnt consider a 9 year old responsible for the death of a pet because the parents couldnt afford treatment for whatever the animal had,, because its obvious the child very much relies on that parents. well same case here. just because she 16 doesnt make it less of a factor... they are depended on the PARENT to take the animal/s to the vet(and pay for whatever might be wrong with the pet/s) a kid can only take care of the pet/s needs so much... then its the parents responsibly from there.

and yes Bri i know what your excuse will be. 'its not about me'
yeah well... arent you lucky.

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.

I didn't mean to jump to conclusions, I'm just going by the current facts in front of me.
