Topic: Support And Suggestions / ACH You Tube Button Strikes again!

I was trying to figure out what the id # for You Tube was so I decided to experiment and bark to myself a video I found of a talking dog. I had the intention of deleting it once I saw whether or not it worked.

At first it seemed it was going to be ok but once I hit the submit button my page turned completely white with the exception of the video. Ok, that didn’t work…...so I went to go to my profile in order to delete it and now I can’t even get onto my page. It just goes to it for a second then immediately I get that white page again w/video. I can’t even delete the bark because the page doesnt’ stay up long enough for me to do that.

Robert, Hershey – please help! LOL Can you delete that bark for me so I can get to my page?????

Thanks, in advance for everything….....oh, and what exactly is the number we are suppose to use in the video ID# box for YouTube?

BOL Shannon…..relax! I know that silly! Just throwing in some input as to what the problem could be is all…...no worries

Topic: General / profiles not loading?

a while? huh? No, I did it today. Regardless, I was getting the error message with both firefox and ie only firefox didnt’ give me a back button for some reason. I was just trying it to see anyway and I’m perfectly fine with IE…..I actually prefer it and find it works better for my system programming and ISP.

I still think it’s a bandwidth problem and that is just because of all the graphics. Not a problem that cannot be fixed so I’m not going to stress over it. There are only a couple of pages I have the rolling demon on and as long as I can still leave barks I’m happy…...

Just my 2 cents …....

Topic: General / profiles not loading?

ok, just for s & g I downloaded Mozilla Firefox and found that not only did it not work but I couldn’t even sign in! HATED IT! I do have some computer savvy.

I actually have a problem lately of when I sign in I get an error page saying that it was mistyped and when I back browse it goes to the home page with me signed in! hmmm

I also noticed that it’s the ones with lots and lots of graphics and such that have that consistant rolling demon.

Perhaps a bandwidth problem as opposed to our computers??hmmm maybe??? I have a very new system, very fast with the newest programming and have no problems with any other site I’m on so that is the most logical thing that I can come up with…...

I am confident that all will be well eventually and just gonna have to be patient. We can still enjoy the site and that’s what counts to me…

y’all know that I just HAD to add my input here…..bol

June is a month for weddings …............or the summer solstice, August is known for the “dog days of summer” too that would be cute and of course September has Labor Day, so how about a tribute to our “working dogs”?

Topic: Media / Study: Docking dogs’ tails makes them mean

same thing you do to your horse hun. you tether his reins to a post, tie your dog out to a tree, etc…...

only stupid question is the one NOT asked

Topic: Media / Study: Docking dogs’ tails makes them mean

Oh and just for the record, I personally do not agree with docking unless it is a safety proceedure as deemed by the dogs role in the family (i.e. herding etc) and not done purely for cosmetic purposes. My previous post was to state that I do not believe it has anything to do with temperment. I also do not agree with de-clawing a cat whatsoever. As for dewclaws – evolution will eventually take care of that as Rinzou stated. IMHO

Topic: Media / Study: Docking dogs’ tails makes them mean

I would absolutely go mad should my Boston Terrier be lost or stolen. Don’t get me wrong as I’m not “humanizing” my boy, but like my children when they were young, I am always where I can watch him and he me….

Sadly in this day and age you have to know where your pet is at all times. Many people are sue happy or just plain vicious. I had a gentleman approach me one day while at a truck stop in Virginia and tell me that my dog would make a great “bait for training” as he has a dog that is “killa in da pit”! Ok, my friends all know exactly what my reaction was ! My husband had to pull me out of there before I got us killed!

All I can think of was thank goodness my boy was on a lead and I was with him because that idiot would have just taken him for that reason!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Goodness, I’m simply trying to be a responsible pet owner, protect my precious friend from predators and the sue happy population out there. I believe I have earned the right to make this decision on my own and I for one do not need any bureaucrat telling me what to do with my hearth and home and all its contents. I will tether when it is necessary and not tether when I deem it safe for him to run free.

Unfortunately tho, not everyone who lives with these animals have the common sense nor the regard of co-habitating with their fellow man to think of the consequences of allowing their animals to run wild. No, I’m not saying it’s “the breed” because I dont’ believe that. It’s the owners fault. Also, I feel educating the general public is an extremely giant step forward. Too many think it’s ok to tie their dogs out, in the yard, all day and in many cases all night. Out of sight, out of mind is the end result in many of those cases…...

Hopefully I’m making some sense here…...this is such a touchy subject for me. I’ve some particularly nasty personal experiences with a couple of dogs I knew that were tethered and died as a result but on the other hand a few who lost their lives being allowed to run free.

I’m open to any intelligent debate on this subject…......................

Topic: Media / Study: Docking dogs’ tails makes them mean

Oh dear….I really have to agree with Tina on this. I’ve had dog breeds with docked tails (toy fox terrier AND Rottwieler) and there wasn’t a mean bone in their bodies. I have to conclude that “meanness” is in the handling, training, bad breeding practices (hey I know some “mean” families lol).

No way is anyone going to convince me that docking a dogs tail, dewclaws or clipping their ears is going to turn that dog into something it isn’t (unless of course they beat that dog constantly while doing so).....

I’ve also never seen a dog have trouble “communicating” its wants and needs because they no longer have a tail. Just look into their eyes, watch their body language. Heck, any trainer/ behaviorist will tell you that much. If another dog is more cautious approaching a dog with a docked tail then it’s because of the body language. I highly doubt that a dog will check another’s tail before approaching….

“oh, excuse me, would you be so kind as to let me see your butt before I approach you?”

I’ve also learned that these proceedures were done mostly because of safety issues pertaining to whatever type of work that particular breed was meant to do.

I had a beautiful black lab that I used as my demo dog when teaching and when he was 6 months old he accidently got about 3 inches of his tail cut off when a very heavy, metal door slammed quickly as he was passing thru (flicked his tail back at the wrong second). He may have been a little more cautious when going thru doors (looked all around and gingerly stepped over door ways) but mean?? No way!

Bottom line: my personal feeling is that this study is total hogwash. Just my humble opinion and observations as a result of much research on my part.

Topic: Media / Barbarity At Animal Shelter Key To Kern County Spay/Neuter Law Debate

Ok, first: No one called anyone an “elitist”. I simply stated that having your credentials at the end of each post made them much too wordy and long, which in turn tends to turn people off and make it so they don’t want to read them which would be counter – condusive to your cause. I posted NOTHING about the links you provided ( and please continue to do so as I do read them) as I think they are important to provide a valuable service for those of us who are concerned and would like to be informed.

I noticed tho, that since I made that kind and tactful suggestion that you no longer include your credentials and for that I do thank you.

Second: No one is doubting your facts, research or trying to deny your rights to believe in what you believe in. If you believed little green men are coming to your house every night then I would be the first to defend your RIGHT to believe it. I don’t have to agree or believe it too as that is MY right.

Third: I never said that I disagreed nor agreed with any of your debates, findings or what have you. I think I’ve made myself quite clear that I am finding it all extremely informative.

Fourth: Again, the name calling, the remarks such as “who made you GOD?” the accusations that people are mocking and stifling are totally uncalled for and reek of paranoid delusional behavior.

Stick with the subject at hand. Our animals, our love for them, our battles to uphold our constitutional rights.

The rest is childish.

The beauty of our country is that we have what is called “free speech”. No one here is denying anyone else’s right to that and I for one will not stand by and let that happen. Simply because someone doesnt’ agree with someone else doesn’t make anyone “wrong”.

That all being said, let’s continue with a healthy debate. Even if you get a little mad. Passion for what we truly love can go a long way to helping the issue.
