AOL vs Usenet persona by
Janet B
Since I've been accused of not being the same person in both places
(hmm - sure seems like I'm still myself!), I thought I'd mention a few
things that I may or may not have mentioned here over the years, that
I've been raked over the coals for on AOL.

Electric collar users by
Scott
I attended and E-collar demonstration by a professional trainer a few
days ago and came away from it a little bit troubled. The troubling
part was not the electrical stimulation the dog received--because
afterwards when I pressed my hand up against the collar to see how much
shock the dog had...

About Rescue by
Kind2dogs
Reading all the thoughts about volunteers and adopters and home visits etc., I
believe Gwen and some valid points.
I would not want anyone evaluating me for something they were not BETTER at
their task then I am.
How can someone say this person or that person is going to get a dog, IF they

Ivan: Evacuation with Dogs and Cats by
Leah
I am in denial. There is no frickin' way we're going to get a third major
hurricane. Nah. Can't happen. I refuse to believe it.
However...
In case this nightmare comes true, I need travel advice. I wasn't happy about
the way the kids were packed into the car when we were escaping...

IMAFriend
Hello. I am considering getting a dog. Brother in law has some
puppies, a month old, the mom is a very very tame dog. The mom is
half chihuahua and half pug, not sure what the dad is, I think
similar. Very well behaved.

A lesson and a poll by
Cate
There is no fence between our neighbors' house and ours (yet). We have
an informal system with them. We've each agreed to not let our dogs out
for a pee if the others' dog(s) are already out.
Monday night our system failed. I failed to see through some tree
branches and didn't notice that their...

Food suggestion by
Marcel Beaudoin
I would post this in health, but I have seen threads like this go very bad,
very quickly.
We are getting to the end of Moogli's bag of puppy food (IAMS Lamb meal and
Rice), and I was wondering what people in here feed. We are thinking of
going with Royal Canin dog food. We know he likes it, and...

Info on choke chains by
[email protected]
Can someone give me the 411 on choke chains?
I've always thought that you threaded one ring through the other to
form a loop then attached a leash. Simple enough. But all the chains
in pet stores around here have the same sized rings on both ends of the
chain so there's no way to pass one...
