[apbtmom76]

OMG this thread, and I am a bit wierded out that someone who is NOT a MOD here has my IP addy and thinks that I cam ehere to start problems when my thread was bashed cause I took my dog to Lowes'. lmaoooooooooo, you people can't seem to leave stuff alone.

marty - I have never chained my dogs, Phoebe is tethered for part of the day at ehr house when it is nice outside, butt hat's it, now when I eventaully get more dogs then yes I will have to put some one a chain set up outside, which if done properly I have no problem with as I exercise my dogs everyday and give them all the love they could possibly need. You have a good set up and your dogs are all happy

Candy - I love those pics, I am terrified of crips, lol, btu omg those pics are too cute

Thank you LH for your posts. I agree 100+%.

I said I wasn't going to publically post in response to any other post here, and in keeping with that, I sent a PM to one of the OP's friends, explaining in a rational manner, why I, and a lot of others, see him as confrontational. I shouldn't have wasted my time and energy, because in the end, I was told that I was rude and bashing the OP. I still have the PM's, and would be glad to forward them to anyone who might want to view the conversation, then you can tell me if I was rude and a basher.

This OP started out looking for issues in his Introduction. He admittedly "opened a can of worms", and when no one took the bait, he started this tread with the same intention. Not a lot of folks read Intros - thus the lack of response - IMO of course. So he starts a new thread (same subject) here - makes it a one sentence post ending with "so what's the big problem?" HUH????? Nobody had a chance to even say if it was a problem, since he chose to make it one on his own, and in only one sentence. Is it any wonder that people view him as confrontational? If someone says to me "so what's the big problem?", or "have you got a problem with that?", and the like, then I know "words" will probably follow.

I have nothing against the OP, his dogs, his friends, etc. Perhaps if he would change his approach and soften up just a little, people might see him in a different light. I'm not saying to be sweet and syrupy, but tone it down a notch or two. Again - this is my opinion for what it's worth.

Oh and its 54 degrees in Florida!! As much as I complain about wanting snow, I want the cold to go away soon! But it looks like its going to be 70 on friday, so hopefully I can go to the beach on Saturday!! Yay for beach weather all year long! As for bugs, I don't know, I never had a problem with them?

You're welcome Grace.

He most likely doesn't. I don't think someone goes around flaunting that. But they do talk about it on his website. People brought it up on the forum he posted. You're right, I only glanced at his game dogs website. I did see stuff about dog fighting, but did not look into it. And just because I said they TALK about it... doesn't mean I meant that he did it. *Edited to add this*

As for the bugs... they REALLY creep me out. Like... I'm a BABY when it comes to spiders. I'm getting BETTER, but big ones still creep me out Eww eww eww.

Aww I love spiders, except the colorful ones. They tickle when the walk on you. If I see a roach I pick it up by its antenna and give to my dogs to kill. I dunno I'm just weird haha. Only things that creep me out are frogs/toads, sharks, crocs/alligators, and anything posionous.

Oh, man. Your post gave me the creeps! hahaha I don't mind froggies, they're cute. I don't like sharks though... they're really cool creatures, but I know if I go in the ocean, a shark will pick me out and eat me. hahaha
