Except, that's not what I said. I said I've come across many aggressive border collies in urban areas. I also said many in the border collie community have a problem with the breed in urban and suburban areas as they are high energy working dogs. You also "freely admit my dog added to" the fight. Most of the…

It's a two way street though. When the Catholic Church respects the beliefs of others with differing views, then I'll respect Catholic views. If it's a fair question for the church to ask someone to be respectful of the churches' values during an interview, then it is a fair question to ask Catholics working in the…

Don't know where you're headed, but Jet Blue will let you take them in the cabin underneath the seat in a proper carrier. I believe Virgin America will as well. You have to prepare in advance with the airline though.

I live in NYC and my building bans the breed outright. They claim it is for insurance purposes. There are a lot of cities and townships that ban the dog as well.

So, you agree Bill O'Reilly, Glen Beck, Ann Coulter, Megyn Kelly, Rush Limbaugh, Matt Drudge, Andrew Breitbart, Newt Gingrich, Pat Buchanan, etc are race pimps then? Do you hold them to the same standards? Do you get your panties in a bunch when Hannity pounds his fist on the podium decrying violent rappers while…

Pit Bulls were bred to bring down other animals; they were not bred to be aggressive toward people. They were not bred to be more aggressive than Rotties, Dobermans, Mastiffs, Great Danes, etc. Seriously, as a long time owner of German Shepherds, I would approach them with way more trepidation than I would a Pit…

"That really turns people away from treating dogs as individuals..."

How is Al Sharpton a trafficker of racial discord?

Working out probably won't make you the perfect human specimen, but it will physically make you feel better. As far as self-discipline goes, I'd start out 3 days a week. I found picking a specific time of day for 30 minutes for two weeks straight was the easiest way for me to get started and stick with a routine. …

There a lot of people who go nude at the beach in Mexico that I frequent. Seeing little old ladies and men get buck naked to go swimming without a care in the world made me realize no one is paying any attention to me so why am I being so insecure. So to your point, yes, life is too short to stop one from splashing…

If I read the post correctly, he was just reassigned somewhere else in Time Warner. What exactly happened to him as a consequence?

Animal Control agencies in the US are typically run by local governments. The US doesn't have a government run nation-wide agency. New York state doesn't have a state-wide agency; it is all local. The dogs featured on the Today Show segment were from one run by NYC which is a high kill shelter with a fairly bad…

I had actually seen him on the NYACC site before he was on the Today Show. My partner and I have been discussing bringing in a second dog for awhile now. In my current apartment, I am limited to one dog, but we are moving into a new apartment at the end of the week in which we are allowed 2. Part of our reluctance…

Interestingly enough, the Significant Other and I discussed applying to adopt Dusty this weekend. We figured someone else all ready snagged him. Now, I'm going to have to see if he's still available. The Big Cat will never forgive me though.

The price of your hospital stay may have dropped for you personally, but the original cost of your care didn't just disappear. It was subsidized by others in one form or another. Your friend has so far been lucky in her game of Russian Roulette as the only certainties in life are death and taxes. She will get sick…

I think the SC is going to overturn the whole thing as well. However, if the GOP does take the WH, I don't think they're going to pass something exactly like it. I think they're going with McCain's plan to shift the burden from employers onto employees.

Now, I'm curious of how he provided for her financially. Did he give her a certain amount of cash/assets to live on, but it was far below 10 million? Or is he alluding to the 30yrs of financial support and she is now on her own.

"These days, funny comes from a 'shock' effect."

I also like how the Romneys are acting like dogs are rational agents in the same manner humans are. Why yes, Seamus told me it was just like riding a motorcycle. No, Seamus told you he was scared to death when he shit all over his crate.

This is one of the many reasons I decided to get a dog. I like to be outside, but I can be very lazy especially in the winter. With the dog, I have no choice since I live in a city. It doesn't matter if it's rain, snow or shine outside, the dog has to go for a walk several times a day. I now have at the very…
