Almost anything.
When someone says that you have to do what they say, because they know better, you have met a bully.
I missed that!
She is my girl!
Cum hoc ergo propter hoc.
I agree, and in fact the die hard ARs don’t want us reproducing either. It’s hand in hand with the Enviros.
I think that’s an excellent point. A bully.
best response on this thread, IMO!

You got that right.
She’s so pretty, and she looks so happy!
Congratulations to both of you!
Thank you. She is a real sweetie. Of course, she does come with lots of extra HAIR that ends up all over me... ;)
I’ve been a Border Collie fan for years, but I’ll admit Rusty (El-Rustbo) is making an Aussie nut out of me. He’s a happy-go-lucky dog who likes everyone a bit, but he is also a very dutiful dog who tries to take care of his people.
When we go work in the yard, the other dogs play while Rusty stays a few feet away, watching us. My favorite was when my wife was trimming some small trees. He watched her intently for about 5 minutes as she lopped of a branch here, there...then Rusty lunged at a small branch and bit it off next to the trunk!
And if someone is lying on the couch feeling sick, El Rust-bo is there. He’ll lick their neck, and just sit with them for hours.
Jack the BC is a good pup. He’s all energy out doors, and a couch potato indoors. In typical BC fashion, he likes to lurk under chairs and couches and beds. And I love that Border Collie crouch, tail down, total focus...but I think the Aussie is our favorite. There is just something about his total devotion to his people, along with his wiggle-butt happiness!
Are we, or are we not, being told what is acceptable, and what is not?
Are we actually being told by a “FReeper” that our personal choices regarding the family dog are immoral choices?
Fawn is welcome to her own perceptions, but she has no business telling the rest of us what we ‘have” to do.
You need to buy a dictionary. You are avoiging answering because you either don’t want people to see you agree with me...or you are cruel and see nothing wrong with it.
Wow, you could probably hire him out as a landscaper! Gwen has not found a useful job in my house. In fact, she’s the first golden I’ve had who is a terrible vacuum cleaner!
You have succeeded again in making a colossal fool of yourself here.
You have not been able to answer a single question posed to you.
Pathetic.
Fawn, if you are going to throw out words like cruel and puppy mill and then refuse to tell me how you define them, we are not going to be able to debate. Sounds like that’s your plan.
If a puppy mill is anything like a pepper mill then the use thereof is probably cruel!

They really are smart, eh? Rush loves to have jobs too. If the humans are doing it, he wants to help.
We had a collie-doberman mix we picked up at the pound who lived to 12, and she did exactly what you said....small spaces were her favorites. She was a great friend. I don't quite know how to describe it, the Aussie seems more in tune with us, maybe.
The butt shake is the best!
LOL thank you for making me laugh!
