To go with the humor, here is a little Dog Wisdom:

"If A Dog Were Your Teacher" ... you would learn stuff like.....

When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.

Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride.

Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure ecstasy.

When it's in your best interest -- practice obedience.

Let others know when they've invaded your territory.

Take naps and stretch before rising.

Run, romp, and play daily.

Thrive on attention and let people touch you.

Avoid biting, when a simple growl will do.

On warm days, stop to lie on your back on the grass.

On hot days, drink lots of water and lay under a shady tree.

When you're happy, dance around and wag your entire body.

No matter how often you're scolded, don't buy into the guilt thing and pout... run right back and make friends.

Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.

Eat with gusto and enthusiasm. Stop when you have had enough.

Be loyal.

Never pretend to be something you're not.

If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it.

When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by and nuzzle them gently.

Why is a Policeman smelly sometimes?
Because he's on duty.

I love this...... so many things we can learn from our furbabies!
Thanks for sharing this!

Well I recognized the humor in your post, Marsha. I think everyone is wrapped a bit tight right now ... with good reason ... and so failed to see that you were trying to lighten the mood.

On a personal note, I would like to thank you for your efforts throughout this ordeal. Clearly you were working on behalf of Halle, with your sole motivation being her safety and well-being. I wouldn't lose sleep over a lawsuit. Rest on the Angels Wings you earned this week.

And yep, you've arrived chicarita.

Dear God: We dogs can understand human verbal instructions, hand signals, whistles, horns, clickers, beepers, scent ID's, electromagnetic energy fields, and Frisbee flight paths. What do humans understand?

SMis a forum where dog lovers can get together,ask advise,look for help and share.99.9% of the discussions will be positive,and because we care,soo deeply for our little fluffs,there's going to be that small 1% that can get out of hand.
It's not meant to be malicious. We all get emotional.
We cry when a member looses a beloved fluff or even if one is sick. We all feel it.
We all feel deply when a fluff is in distress,example one on Petfinder that's been neglected or abused,or one in a shelter on death row.
If someone posts for help,we all want to help,but no one wants to be taken for a ride on an emotional rollercoaster. If something doesn't pass the sniff test,you have to wonder.
I can say SM is 110% concerned about fluffs.
We don't want to become a BYB site,or Craigs list for dogs.

I don't know another person's motive,but if they ask for help rehoming a fluff,if our hearts are moved to do so,we help.

I still don't think rescue was a bad idea,I would have chosen that first,since they screen. I just hope someone seeing that wouldn't think "no to rescue".

Sympathy for animals can get you into a deep hole quickly ,if you take on too much,if you can't say no,even the best of intentions can have disasterous effects..

Note every dog owner is a good dog owner,can't really go by that.
That's why I suggested a reputable rescue option.

Ok,humour,well I'm no Johnny Carson..showing my age here..
I tell my dogs all the time,"I love how you smell"....with your nose...

Ok,not funny,but they do ,they smell w/ their nose....

I asked why dogs smell eachothers bums,I was told that how they greet each other,...I said ,can't they just shake hands?

bah,dum,dum

I need a pizza!

Ok...I'll admit that it took me a few minutes to get it.

Woops....seems like more humor is still needed.

Dear God: When I get to Heaven may I have my testicles back?

Nikki's Mom · 09-08-2010, 03:04 PM

As usual, I missed everything. Actually, I'm glad I did. We can never know the real motivation behind people's words/behavior online. I just hope and pray for all the precious furbabies in the world who are in questionable situations, no matter what caused the situation.

STOP IT RIGHT NOW!! I'm at work and can't be bursting out laughing while staring at a computer screen. That's a dead giveaway that I'm doing something other than work!!
