A BIG Thank You to our friends at My Brown Newfies!

Last week we won a dental pack give-away hosted by MBN.  Monday it was sitting in the front door when I got home.  Check out the stuff in this packet!

Dental Pack Give Away

 

A Dogs rule shopping bag, travel mug and two key chains.  A package containing a tooth-brush, tooth paste and two finger brushes.  Three packages of different sized Dentastix and coupons for five more free packages of Dentastix!

We we so excited to get our package and want to say thanks again to our friends at My Brown Newfies!

Facebook.

I have a question for you.  How do you deal with ignorant people on facebook?

One of my ‘friends’ on facebook is anti pit bull.  When I post pictures of pitties, he will comment negatively on them.  Tuesday he posted an article regarding a pit bull in Texas, that killed an infant.

Rather that respond rudely right off the cuff, I read the article and then commented, something like, if you read the article it said police were responding to a domestic violence call, which in itself should be an indicator of the environment in which the dog was raised.

He then commented he just liked to ‘stir the pot’ to which my daughter responded, ‘you’re stirring the wrong pot.’

After I had thought (and stewed) about it, and conversed with my daughter I decided to remove the article from my wall.

My stance is that I don’t want some first time fan finding my page and then thinking I am anti pit bull.

How do you deal with ignorance when confronted with it?  Do you think there was a better way I could have handled it?

W.T.F/Whoo Hoo Wednesday (9-26-12)

September 26, 2012 By Jodi

Please note this post is not meant to make light of the deeds described here, only to make fun of, ridicule, bully and just plain beat the shit out of the idiots who commit these stupid acts.

WTF

Cougar Kills Golden retriever, North Bend, WA

A cougar killed a fifteen year old Golden Retriever that was sleeping outside on a deck at 3:00 am, which leads me to ask, W.T.F was the dog doing sleeping outside at 3:00 am?

I get it, sometimes dogs especially older ones need a potty break in the middle of the night, been there, done that, but under no circumstances would I ever leave my dog outside and go back to bed!

What kind of idiot does that?  Especially in an area where you KNOW wild animals live?

It’s like leaving the bank doors open when you know there are robbers in the area.

Ass clown.

WTF would you do?, Facebook

One of my friends sent me an e-mail and said,something like: look at the picture, read the caption and tell me what you think.

Raw meat diet does wonders, wait till training starts.

I don’t know about you, but it made my blood run cold and I felt sick.

Apparently she and I were getting the same vibe.  She tracked the original poster down, got his name and address and called the authorities.  I’m not sure if they picked the dirt bag up or not, but I can tell you he is a convicted felon and I know she did the right thing.

Cat goes to vet for flea bath and gets euthanized, Massachusetts

Holy cat, Batman! did you see this?  The guy drops his cat off for a flea bath goes home to get his other cat (also in need of a flea bath) and comes back to find the vet has EUTHANIZED his cat.

Apparently in Massachusetts flea bath and euthanasia sound alike.

If you’re having anything done to your pet in Massachusetts, please make sure you read the form you are signing.

I don’t know about you, but I think it’s time to find a new vet.

Dog dies on United Airlines Flight, New York, NY

Personally, I would never bring my dog on a plane in the cargo hold, that’s just me.  If we can’t drive to our destination with our pets, we don’t go.

But I know other people who have a different philosophy.  However when you have a plane delayed on a hot runway, and the passengers in the plane are told to open their vent fans, wouldn’t you think someone would have half a brain thought to check on the animals in cargo?

The model was coldly told her pet had died and the poor dog’s body was left in the crate.

This is the second time United Airlines has made the W.T.F. post, I don’t know about you but I have no desire to fly United.

EVER.

Whoo Hoo

Beagle survives 70 foot fall from bridge, NJ

A poor little fearful beagle, previously abused gets spooked on her daily walk, slips her harness and runs.  When someone stops to help her, she is so afraid she does the unthinkable.  She jumps off the bridge.

I know, I know.  I debated if it should be WTF or Whoo Hoo but as the dog survived the jump with only a bruised abdomen, I settled on Whoo Hoo.

Let’s hope her story helps educate people about fearful dogs.

Cruelty to pit bull nets 6 month jail term, Ft. Wayne, IN

It does my heart good to see the judicial system penalizing animal neglecters and abusers.

St. Louis police to dedicate police officer to animal crimes, St. Louis, MO

The article begins with this People who abuse animals often go on to commit crimes against people.

Can I get an amen!

It’s about time law enforcement started adding two plus two and getting four.   Animals are just a starting point for many abusers who then go on to children and then spouses.

Catch them early I say!

Finally I saw this video of a little pig saving a baby goat, I dare you to watch this video and not smile.  The pig is just so stinkin cute!

That’s Some Pig!, Fox News

Well that’s enough for me, do you have any news or anything to share?

You Can’t Keep a Good Dog Down

September 25, 2012 By Jodi

At Sampson’s vet appointment last week, our vet gave him medication (Meloxicam, 1/2 tablet once per day) and said he needed to take it easy on his paw, specifically, no running or jumping which equates to no off-leash walks.

We can manage his walks.

Hubby and Sampson have been joining Delilah and I on our walks.  I have Delilah on her long leash and Hubby has Sampson on another long leash.

We’ve been keeping the walks to half an hour or so and Sampson is definitely tired at the end of the walk.

The harder part is managing him in the house.

I know the medication is working because Sampson is definitely feeling better.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve said, Sampson you aren’t supposed to be running. 

Five minutes later Sampson, no jumping!

Of course he has a cohort who doesn’t help matters at all.

Come on Delilah, I’m just about ready to jump on the bed.

 

Relax mom, I’m feeling better.

 

I know he’s not running and jumping when we aren’t home because my mom would tell us.

He’s doing this when we are home and he still has three full weeks of ‘taking it easy.’

Any thoughts or suggestions as how to keep a happy dog quiet?
