There is just something about giggling babies that restores joy to my heart. Today was just one of those days and I hope other will have a light day after watching these videos =)

My wife is a twin. Biologically, she and her sis are not identical. In real life? They are.
Dogs protecting? Our dog is 21 pounds of "pet me. Like me. Pet me." Right up until he's not comfortable with how someone approaches my wife or Sooga. He, at that time, becomes 21 lbs of "I'll rip your arm off, or die trying".
But he's not mean or aggressive if he doesn't feel the need. Just had my cousin's 7 year old twins over Sunday night for a sleep over (as they call it). Those 2 and the dog got along better than anyone can imagine. Even "Arch, can Hunter sleep with us?"
Cats. We've had many, and all but 1 were good to me. (1 only liked my daughter. Not a single human being on the face of the earth was 'good', other than my daughter - at least in that cat's eyes).
Milo - indoors, or outdoors. She always came when called. When I walked in the house if she was inside? She'd follow me to wherever I went, and then sit beside me.
When my daughter was young and I put her in bed? Milo would sit on the floor, listening to me read, or tell a story, or pray. I'd tell Sooga good night and walk out of her bedroom. Milo would jump on her bed.
I promise, whether it was 10 minutes later, or 40 minutes later, Milo would come downstairs to let me know Sooga was asleep. (and I checked it out for weeks - if Milo hadn't come downstairs - Sooga was still awake.)
Then, Milo would lay on my chest til I fell asleep. Hardly ever did I wake up with her in the bedroom. She'd make sure Sooga was asleep, make sure I was asleep, and then she'd go somewhere to sleep herself.
And the best cat of all? Sammy. I'll stop here. Don't want to bore people with facts about the best cat ever.

I don't agree with ear cropping at all. I don't like tail docking but with certain breeds I can understand it. For instance I owned a blue great dane who was 170 plds and I didn't have his tail cut off. His tail though was a major nuisance especially to me. Why? He was so tall that his tail's natural height level as at my crotch. That tail was so long and thick it was like getting hit by a whip in the nuts whenever he got too excited. It actually left marks on my wife to the point she hated him because his tail would leave bruises on her. I had young kids and his tail would hurt them too and knock them over.
So yes, with some of the bigger dogs that have whip like tails I think it's best to dock it off. Otherwise I think it's cruel and unnecessary.

Looks like a girl to me with that bone structure but who knows these days.

You ever had a 170 lb great dane tail whip you in the nuts? It might, I mean it just might change your mind after the 10th time and you have to start wearing a cup at home ...

And I'm sure the Great Dane was thinking, 'You should chop my tail off incase I accidentally hit you in the nuts with it.' Then you take him to get neutered too...
Your feelings and opinions do not add up to facts.

Sigh, I just can't handle ignorant snark like that anymore. Well this thread used to be about having a smile but some around here have other agendas ... might as well close the thread refs.

So I read up on cropping ears and found this video about how to tape their ears. Apparently you have to tape their ears for a whole year after the surgery, to get them to stand up.
I agree with you Eve 100%. I know it started back when people thought it was healthier for the dog to avoid ear infections but they proved that idea wrong a long time ago. I personally hope they ban it here in the states eventually.

I am pretty sure it's never going to change in this country as long as the AKC recognizes cropping/docking as part of the breed standard and supports it.

No, I can’t say I have. I prefer to keep my horses in a pasture, not my house.
I did have an Irish Setter who had a tail of destruction, expecially around a Christmas tree. Rhett was his name. He was the last large dog I ever owned. I found the joy of owning 20lb dogs. Schnauzers, Boston Terriers, Poodles, all great dogs, smart and they live long lives. Oh, and their poop is small too!

Nothing wrong with liking what you like. I don't believe a person should own a dog though if your going to keep it outside because that is far more harmful to the dog's mental health than losing a tail or part of the ear at a young age because all dogs are pack animals and when you force them out and away from the pack aka your family then it really causes them emotional pain.
I am not that found of little dogs because I have big feet and I am a very big man and those little suckers like to dart in front of your feet and the last one I stepped on ended up seriously hurt which made me feel terrible. Bigger dogs seem to know to stay out of my way better which is something I like. I also like how many big dogs seem to be much calmer and laid back once they hit age 3. Great danes really turn into giant cuddly couch potatoes and I love them to death =)

Also, I would love to have this topic of discussion (for dog lovers) : is docking tails/ears cruel.
.
Yes. Boxers, Great Danes, Dobermans etc for ears and the various dogs whose tails they dock all look better when left alone. It has also already been banned in other countries.
