Now I would really like to know why you disagree with the OP if you have 2 dogs and they are your best friends.


I don't understand, can you elaborate please?

Their first reply, the way I read it was saying they disagree with OP.

Maybe I interpreted what they wanted to say wrong.

Assuming I was right with my interpretation and Candlesticks disagrees with what the study in the OP says and has 2 dogs of their own which is their best friends I was hoping Candle could elaborate on why they disagree.

Now you're confusing me Spiro, but I think you missed a post of Candlesticks

This is what Candle replied to you with

Which is why I ask as I do

The thread that poster created clearly states he/she doesn't like dogs.

Just a
person.

Missing out on a lot IMO. Lucky dogs though.

It's horrible, aint it? I really wish the OP would at least own a dog for a while to pass such judgement


Not the OP of this thread though, just for the record lol

I understand what he/she means about the breeding but to class every dog and their owner as the same is quite saddening really

Personally, I hope they never do.

Dogs deserve to be loved as much as they love back.

My dogs are my friends, my kids & part of my family.

That statement ought to get the candle burning at both ends.

I have to open another thread to disagree you ,OP.

Being a dog owner and lover, I see the relationship with our K9 friends multileveled.




Would you use a cage to lock up your friends and use a rope to tie your friend?


Oh, are you one of those people, you can't "own" animals...

You see, the problem with that, is that 40k years of HUMAN intervention into the Domestic dog, has left it in a symbiotic relationship with people.

To suddenly neglect the responsibility we CREATED would be irresponsible of Humans, and unfair to the entire species WE created.

If people where to not "own" or house dogs, we would have to go on a "cleansing" spree getting rid of the creatures we created as they could not survive on their own.

It would be more cruel to abandon that responsibility,

Not some ignorant tree hugging nonsense, WE made it, WE have to take care of it.

I find the people who say things like "would you cage a friend" are akin to the PETA tards, who spout the same crap while killing dogs in mass at their headquarters.

I'm glad you and Inhale cleared all that up. LOL
I myself was kinda like WTH with candle & the remarks....now we see it's carried over from another thread

Strange for someone who doesn't like dogs to comment about something they have no experience with
The bonding that takes place

Oh well.....thank goodness for pets!!!
That is one thing about them, they overlook our quirkiness

Evenin',

Thank you so much for the kind words.
Indy looks just like a puppy a friend of mine had.
(I hope Indy doesn't have the same leather chewing fetish that Roman had!)
I am often complimented on the fact that Binary (my puppy) walks off the leash and obeys verbal commands.
Truth is I can't take credit for that.
I adopted him after a friend of mine went through a nasty divorce.
She took two of the kids and left.
He took the other two kids and kept the house.
Neither of them wanted the dog.
I was told if I didn't take him off the wife's hands (a Maltese/Bijon) that he'd be taken to the SPCA.
Naturally I was horrified.
As a result he suffers from severe separation anxiety and requires little coaxing to remain at my side as he always thinks he'll be left behind.
(I know it sounds sad but it's really cute to see him literally dogging my every step if you'll pardon the pun)
Even after all these years I still have to be careful and mind my step as he's never far away and about the size of a large squirrel.
He's even jealous of the squirrels I feed from the backyard.
He never chases them or barks at them and they know him well enough that they show no fear of the dog when in the backyard eating nuts.
I am fond of commenting, if ever he even looks at a squirrel for too long: "Leave your sister alone..."
The only heartstopping thing he does is that he was raised around big dogs and has no fear of them.
He'll even run straight at a Rottie or Pitbull.
Sure, he only wants to sniff their butts and there's never been an incident as a result...unless you include me almost spontaneously wetting myself before I see the much larger dog's tail wagging.
I am always told he is the best dog any of the groomers I go to have ever seen.
They even "argued" playfully over who would trim Binary.
He's better with women than I am and they're not even his species!
(How is this even remotely fair!?!)
As far as I am concerned, my puppy has me trained just the way he wants me!
Now, if you'll excuse me...I have to go sautee him a non-growth hormone pork chop in extra-virgin coconut oil while I eat Kraft Dinner.



-Peace-
