My dog loves to meet new people. He wants to come up to them and sniff them.
Once, when I was a new dog owner, we were on a sidewalk, and a woman was coming towards us from the other direction; not much room to give space to each other when passing. She moved onto the grass with fearful body...
I resolved to write a blog entry every day. The purpose (I wrote porpoise at first) was to develop discipline. The thing is, writing is hard. I don't mean "Oh I can't do this." One can do it easily enough. But it is hard to make oneself do it. (At least, it is that way for me. Others might feel...
What is Existence?
This is a question that no one can answer. We know what existence is, sort of. At least I think we do. But we know it in a purely intuitive way, not in a way that allows us to define it. Any definitions of existence have to use existence (perhaps reworded) in the definition...
So, there's this employee at the animal shelter where I volunteer. For months, I've silently felt that he is gay. I've never asked him, he's never told me; it's just a feeling that I had.
Recently, I started trying to analyze why, exactly, I thought this. After all, I had no actual evidence...
Canine Aggression Issues with Jim Crosby: Fatal Attack, Boger City, NC
"You wouldn't do that to your child, why would you do that to your dog?"
Ugh.
I hate this phrase. I hate it.
I've seen this mantra repeated multiple places on the internet, written by dog lovers, sometimes even by professionals who work with dogs.
They say "Oh, you're sending your dog to a...
I was at someone's house, and they had one of those journalistic segments on TV which are not really news-reporting, but are rather arguments for or against one political issue or another. Basically an editorial on TV. The channel was Fox News. Some people hate Fox News, some adore it. I dislike...
It discriminates against low-income people
It treats innocent good people as if they are criminals
It does not improve public safety
It may even decrease public safety
It goes against the recommendations of experts
It results in the euthanasia of well-behaved dogs, while dangerous dogs (of other...
I was watching a Dog Whisperer episode about a dog that had an obsession.
Cesar Millan was explaining the psychological basis for such an obsession, and as he explained, it began to seem to me that he was explaining the real root reason for Aspie stimming.
Interesting.
So a jerk-mom goes way to far in "disciplining" her child, and someone, rightly, calls CPS and the police. And then the woman brags about it on her blog. I mean, man, this woman is just so full of herself.
The scary thing? At least half the commenting people are supportive of her.
The Time I...
I really hate how hatred for "pit bull" type dogs runs so deep that...
When a dog that's not a pit bull attacks and injures someone, the online conversation is still about pit bulls.
I was reading comments in regards to a chow-lab mix that stalked and attacked a little boy like he was a rabbit...
I was reading a story about a man in Denmark who committed suicide after his happy well behaved dog was taken from him and euthanized because it resembled a pitbull-type dog.
One of the people commenting wrote the following.
"Dogs ARE possessions. The dog breed was BANNED - end of story. He...
I just read about a sad sad event where a lab attacked a woman and her baby. The woman's pit bull defended her owner, by fighting the lab. The lab grabbed the woman's leg, and the lab's owner ran out with a shotgun and shot the pit bull.
Why protect the lab (which was the aggressor) from the...
I'm preparing a speech for a class that I'm taking. It's a speech against breed-specific legislation in regards to dogs. When first embarking on the journey of research, I knew that as the owner of an American Pitbull Terrier dog I was biased, and, while I hoped the research would support my...
I read somewhere where someone said "Black men, we are America's pit bulls, labelled vicious...left to die on the street" http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/12/18/fruitvale-station-michael-b-jordan_n_4462009.html
And around the same time I read about a cop who showed the kind of good sense in...

I finally found out how to post a blog post!
Too bad I don't have anything to say...
