Thanks. We have 8 and all are rehabbers....some have bitten before. No bully breeds. So we are amateur behavioralists, but not that much amateur.

Jean Donaldson is a huge favorite and friend of mine.

A great book she wrote is called Culture Clash.

Kudos to you two for performing a much-needed public service.

Thanks, but I'm just doing the work the mods haven't quite gotten around to doing yet.

“It is also necessary that the animal does not indicate any aggressive behavior under many different situations.”

Well, there ya go.

[onyx]

Thank you so much for the information and an extra “God bless you” for taking in rehabs!
That’s wonderful, dearest, sweet, beautiful you, MarMema!

[Altariel]

Well said.

[onyx]

You’re absolutely correct.
God bless and keep you and everyone you love.

Oh, that’s just horrible! The dog is so stressed it has almost fallen asleep. LOL

[Resettozero]

What relevance does that question have to the one that I have asked you, twice?

It seems your concern over discussing another person’s child stems from the child being a member of a family of the political class. Or are you on record on FR as being against discussing another individual’s child for any reason, regardless of family background or prestige?

You must be Catholic.

[MarMema]

But stressed nonetheless. Open mouth, ears back.

[MarMema]

Nonetheless, like I said, I think those pics should have remained in the family album, and Trig should be taught to better care for his dog. Accidents happen and like you said, dogs bite and they also move. Trig could have hit the sink’s counter on the way down.

Thanks. Maybe she can learn to not be so trusting and to not help the conservative movement out so well next time. :-)

[Resettozero]

It’s a dirty job...but somebody has to do it. :)

Again, you are correct.

The Horror, the horror.

Palin has created this modern conservative movement by showing that we can survive the media, and that we must live, and speak, and be free, and be ourselves.

Palin showed us that during the 2008 campaign, and after the 2008 election, eventually we got the tea party, and a BOLD conservative movement.

[TigersEye]

I am astounded at the levels of neurosis displayed on this thread. You would think you had stumbled into a meth rehab clinic of OWS burnouts.

[MarMema]

So are you saying that Peta and Sarah have a lot in common?

[ansel12]

Are you saying that you aren’t being a nut case by claiming that the Palin family is brutalizing Trig’s service dog, while you ignore the photos posted in July by PETA’s “woman of the Year”,of what were interpreted as loving and sweet pictures of the same thing?

[ansel12]

Yep, wave the word Palin in front of them, and they come out like crazy.

Remember her standing alone, before there was a tea party and a movement?

[TigersEye]

I was aware of Sarah Palin some time before McCain was forced into picking her as a running mate so, yeah, I remember. But some of her staunchest supporters here are losing their marbles over Trig standing on the dog. They’re nuts. The dog looks bored. It could stand up and walk away any time it wanted to.

[ansel12]

According to MarMema, you are missing out on how sinister this interaction really is.

According to her, the dog is in distress from this disaster in the Palin home, that should have been concealed from the public.
