When we were at the vet today he was telling us about a big pit bull he had to put down because it was struck by a car
yup it was the one we narrowly avoided the other day so that sucks
he was pi**ed at the owners because they were saying that he never normally leaves the yard.Even tho they live on a main road with no fence

lesson learnt lol

its alright up here but there loads of cops with nothing to do
cop mentality:
if you're young you're a drug addict
old an alcoholic
black then your screwed.
it sucks big time.
but it looks cool in the fall and the lake is clean up this end so we can swim
i was just down in grand rapids a 2 months ago on a business trip going back for another in a month or so

yeah we just had a  2 week thaw temps around 45 then back to the snow,
i think the snow caught some people here off guard cuz there was a nasty accident just up the road ambulances, cops and two mangles cars taken away on flatbeds
Just hope the ambulances were just precaution

Well here in northern MI we're celebrating spring with more snow.
Just got half a foot started real early this morning after yesterdays lovely mixture of wind,ice rain, rain and hail

the boys don't mind tho

Arkyboy (newfie mix but still a big boy) is on Eagle pack Holistic giant breed and seems to be healthy so I'll recommend that

congrats, and i can't wait to see some more pics

by the look of things if he ain't 100% newf he is predominantly newf
either way you've bagged yourself a winner

to start this I'm sorry to hear about your pug Owen
no-one here likes to see or hear this kinda thing happen

but I'm disappointed that you said the women ran off. when that doesn't seem to be the case , and knowing quite a few female dog owners i believe she didn't. All the women i know would also break crumble at this kind of experience especially if it was on their head.

Yes it is your right as a house owner to be there, and people should have control of their dogs at all time.but it is also your responsibility as a DOG OWNER to protect your dog which means if you own a little 6 pounder and theres three big 150 pounders coming your way, realize how fragile your dog is in comparison and pick him up for safes sake.
As a past owner of many dogs you should know that dogs communication can sometimes be almost invisible to us, and considering the fact that no matter how cute cuddly etc. your dog is he is still a domesticated wild animal whether he has been domesticated for centuries or not somewhere in their mind there will always be a button that can turn that killer instinct on. So do yourself a favor and remove your vulnerable creature from the ground for a few seconds. I know it is within your rights for him to be on the ground but dogs don't have rights, don't care about rights and have the capability of creating their own rules very fast.

This is just my opinion it may wrong it may be right , but my dogs don't get into fights because if i think for a second that someone else's dog isn't as dog friendly as I'd like i remove my dogs from that situation because that is my responsibility as their owner
