The Hobbit Hole III - Journey to the Cross-roads!
Posted on 12/17/2002 7:32:02 AM PST by HairOfTheDog
Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Journey to the Cross-roads
The Two Towers Edition
Come on! Come in! -if you would like to have some seedcakes and a pint and relax a while. (If it is a special occasion, we still have a few bottles of the old wineyards left!)
Our first thread ( New Zealander builds Hobbit hole ) reached 4,100 posts, and we thought that was big. Our second thread (The New Hobbit Hole ) held us for over 48,000 posts, and we loved it dearly. We talked about moving to a new thread for the last 38,000 posts, but we are really slow to muster! Finally, the time has come. Tomorrow (at 12:01 am, to be precise!) The Two Towers comes out, and we start a new chapter.

Eggs. The only other thing they want me to get at WalMart is eggs. That's easy.
I am leaving now.

Bye WN, have fun!
To: Argh
Hey, there were NO pertinent parts showing .. male OR female .. heck, it was BARELY and nekkid picture!
To: proud_2_B_texasgal
(BARELY - HAHAH!!) I know, I know, Miss Tex.
Next time try (a) more pertinent parts, and (b) infinitely fewer males.
Thank you for your efforts, time, and co-operation. :^)

Boy, y'all are chatsy today... nearly 500 messages since midnight. Took me this long to just get caught up.

I know about the locking jaws on pit bulls. And I agree that the problem is not the dog, but the stupid irresponsibility of some dog owners. I think the most frequent incidences of biting is tallied to the smaller more neurotic breeds, like toy poodles and chihuahuas. And, I further understand that a bite from these breeds is nowhere the tragedy of a bite from the chows/pits/rotts. But to place a dog into the cyanide box just for the reason of its breed is nuts.
I like how your AC guy handled it.
It is happening everywhere in our local Animal Control facilities to mandate a dog of a certain breed be put down, regardless of disposition. In some areas they treat the chows and rottweilers the same way as pit bulls. Some people want these breeds totally eradicated from the planet, as having no further use to mankind.
I think this is so sad, because fact is - guys like your well-reasoning AC fellow are giving in to the others because they fear the litigation, should they be wrong in their assessment. If he judges your puppy to be worthily natured for adoption, and then 2 years from now he bites someone -- can you see the Johnny Cochran lawyer rubbing his little mantis hands together?
I intend to spend some time this weekend finding out what I can do.

In some cases, it is the dog, no doubt about it. But not all cases.

The posting rate has been somewhat outrageous the last three days!
The Hobbits (and Elves and Dwarves and Gondorians) are rushing towards implosion with outright glee!
To: RMDupree
Good afternoon!
I love sleeping in! Except for missing out on all the fun on the thread this morning...

Indeed! Rose works Sunday through Thursday, so this is our "Saturday"... so wonderful to leave the alarm clocks off and just sleep until we wake up.
To: Bear_in_RoseBear
I know...just wanted to do my part for implosion :)
