LONGEST POST EVER (probably not :laugh
He saved me from depression a few attackers, and definitely helped keep me fit. I now have a cat that behaves like a dog and actually guards the property. She has leopard in her ancestry, and is fearless. Her instinct is so incredible. I wasn't expecting to adopt such a needy cat (actually just very family/pride minded) but wow is she ever worth the effort. She's the coolest pet I have ever had.
We chased a bear out of Riverside Park, downtown Kamloops, once too... Probably saved the bear from being shot because it as after the garbages in the park, for sure!!!
hard lesson learned... good for you for helping teach
animals are like children, innocent and positive, something we can all use more of :love_heart:
My male was not neutered, also aggressive and trained as a guard dog. I miss him more than my parents :laugh:

:hug: I still cry sometimes, and he passed away almost three years ago. I still have his ashes(I can't let him go), puppy collar, and his puppy teeth from 17 years ago!!!! :love_heart:
My whole neighbourhood felt safe with my big badass boy alerting them of wildlife in the area. We had coyotes, bear and cougars frequent the river for a drink....

So many people lack any sort of real connection to grasp that animals are souls too.... but.... I have seen a few people almost lose their arm because of wrapping a leash around the wrist. They each went around opposite sides of a post. When a four legged determined ANIMAL kicks in instinct it doesn't know the difference between dragging the owner or the owner chasing with...wrapped around the palm is much safer. Just my two bits....I've had some sturdy dogs in my day and I can tell you that you should NOT do this on rollerblades :laugh:
I hate that. I had dogs jump on me at the beach and my 'on leash' dog fight them and the owner gets mad... soooooooo many times I have been tempted to follow them home and report them to By-Law :laugh: I just went home mad instead... still ranting about it ten years later on some sex forum.... Unresolved issues!! :loco:
We had to put down our poodle when I was little. He tore the skin off my dads finger, right to the bone. As kids, we picked on it and were amused by the aggression.. sadly we didn't know we destroyed him as a pet n my dad had to put him down.What a sweet pupper, uncleg! You sound like a responsible and loving owner.
A lot of people get animals without fully thinking things through. Real shame. Think of all the animals given as gifts then neglected after the novelty has worn off. Personally I would take in all the dogs (and cats and goats and bunnies!) but I realize my life situation isn't in favour for the kind of commitment that would entail. I especially despise it when people get dogs as some sort of "accessory" (think tiny Yaletown dogs carried around in purses) then leave them at home for the majority of the time and don't take the time to properly train and socialize them.
Without proper obedience and behaviour training any dog can be vicious. Some of the most aggressive breeds are actually some of the smaller ones: Dachshund, Chihuahua, Jack Russell. Dogs need to be mentally exhausted almost more than they need to be physically exhausted. A few minutes of brain games every day is all it takes to have a happy dog willing to learn obedience. *insert business card here*
PS more dog pics! Less dick pics!!
