read post 417 again to get an idea of why they think you whine.

[hellinahandcart]

And your definition about whining is proably a heck alot different from mine...

I'm sure of it, since you don't recognize the shrieking drivel you've been pumping out for two days now as whining...

[missyme]

By the way you should try it maybe it would make you want to change your screen name to heavenlyhash....

[hellinahandcart]

Are we supposed to beg you to stay or something?

If you leave, the collective IQ on this forum will go up a few points.

[missyme]

I just want to apologize. I am sorry I had no right to say what I did about some forms of hunting. I hope you will not hold it agaisnt me.. Truly it is way to hot here to wear fur, leather is proably the best I could do.


Still Freeper Friends I hope...

[Double Tap]

Here is some friendly advice missyme,

Stop! You are digging yourself in here deeper by the post. You originally started in this thread by acting like a dictator. You received a well deserved flaming for that. Now you are suggesting that someone try illegal drugs!

Let me make something clear to you. This is a CONSERVATIVE web site. It is not appropriate for you to suggest illegal activity.

Step away from the keyboard and examine how you have acted here. Then ask yourself if you really belong here.

[shaggy eel]

I am sorry I had no right to say what I did about some forms of hunting.

,,, don't apologise, you simply didn't know any better this time yesterday. Now all that's behind you, you're on your way to some very constructive dialogue! I bet you'd like a little advice on gun selection now?

[cavtrooper21]

...ask terriergal.
They were pals (don't tell her I said that, I only live a few states away and that may not be out of range.. )

She was banned last year for repeated PETA posting and general animal rights / anti-hunting propaganda spouting.

She was around for a good while and then overstepped her bounds and got sent on her way..

[shaggy eel]

The next generation is not as squeamish about wearing fur as the baby boomers were.

,,, isn't that a healthy turnaround? Where I am, the old ,303 is still quite popular. It takes the knocks and delivers a good punch. They're a cheap and reliable rifle to start out with.

The thin skinned do not belong on here, and, when you start opining on what you think others need or don't need, get ready to be smacked (figuratively).

"a hybrid mix"

That could be, especially around Algonquin Park where a lot of dogs will be lost and mixes will be brought in and take off on their own. It's the dog personality that makes it more likely to attack people.

I forgot most of the details of wolf/shepard type mixing(CRS), but as a general rule... ~75% wolf makes a good companion, smaller but like a wolf-not a good pet. They are too independent. If it's mistreated, or kept by a moron, it will take off and never be seen again. 50% makes a very large, playful companioin and maybe pet. The animal acts like a lab, it's playful, protective, but it's so big when it playfully mouths folks, it draws blood. It's not for kids. If it's mistreated, not trained, it will become a large dangerous animal that will most likely shred it's owner. This particular mix does require the owner to be it's companion and play alot. Without that the dog is impossible to control. The folks I know with these, spend most of the day with them and sleep alongside them.

Lower wolf contents are what the bozos wanting the nasty dogs buy, or are sold, because they are large and extremely aggressive.

"Unfortunately stupidity isn't a crime."

Not keeping it under control ought to be. Vicious dogs roaming, or going on a rampage some day ought to get the owner some caged time out. Most animal attacks come from loosed dogs.

[cavtrooper21]

I forget the % but it was very wolf like, and had been treated very poorly. I was called by the owner's mother (sonny was in TDC for a 3 year stint) and she could not control or even go near the animal. The township's "animal control officer" - a retired cop - was afraid that the animal would be impossible to control with his stick, and his .22 wouldn't kill it.
So they called the Sheriff's Dept.
I can still see that wolf/dog. He knew what I was there for, and he wasn't happy about it.
To tame to be in the wild and to wild to be a pet...
That day went into the "negitive" column.
