Throttled Posted December 16, 2024 Posted December 16, 2024 Until this year, I have had a dog attack me once in my life and it just left some slobber on my arm. Then twice this year, both times causing injury. When that XL Bully clamped its jaws on my arm, despite its owner being right there, I realised how it is that they can kill. I would have had no chance if it had not been for it responding to its owner. 1 3 Quote

S-Westerly Posted December 16, 2024 Posted December 16, 2024 XL Bully dogs shouldn't be in this country. All the owners say they are sweet and wouldn't harm a fly blah blah - until they do. Any dog deliberately bred for fighting and aggression has no place on the streets of Britain. 6 Quote
Fozzie Posted December 16, 2024 Posted December 16, 2024 I agree on XL bully dogs. I find those who staunchly defend them blindly do so purely out of emotion. I do respect those who take proper precautions with them though, so long as they aren't breeding more. Tonight I walked by a Spoons pub and there was a poor dog, looked like an Irish setter, which was tied up outside. Was there when I walked by to the shops, and still there nearly an hour later. Thing was whimpering, looked scared, and was focused intently on the pub. Really angered me quite a lot. I also think dogs have become more of a fashion piece in recent years to some folk. You still get those who genuinely want a pet, but for some the love is scratch card thin or misplaced. Quite a few people in my age group have recently all gone and got one, and it follows the same order. They get a new partner, move in quickly, then get a dog. It's like they all read the same self help book or something "How to look happy and grown up, for dummies". Usually goes a few weeks before they begin enlisting the dog sitters. 4 1 Quote

Just thinking out side the box, I believe Korea consider dogs nuts to be a delicacy, although never tried em myself, could this be an opportunity for an Entrepreneur export business, maybe address the UK's balance of payments on import export issues. Wonder how one does the market research on this, any ideas? 1 1 Quote
S-Westerly Posted December 17, 2024 Posted December 17, 2024 Actually eating dog is increasingly frowned upon in Korea and the only Korean dogs I know are these 3 - not in any danger at all of being eaten pampered pooches that they are. 3 Quote

I ended up with bite marks on my arm and got a tetanus booster at A&E. The dog's owner, who was normally very responsible with it anyway, agreed to place the dog with a neighbour when we delivered to the house. 1 Quote

We are not allowed out in public with knives and guns, but for some strange reason, we have been allowed to take out dogs that can easily kill. That appears to be ending, thankfully. 2 Quote

Saw a lot of that in my 20s, have been propositioned for it too, and sadly it rarely ends well. Both for pets or dogs. 1 Quote
Tinkicker Posted January 17 Posted January 17 (edited) I (we) are going through hell. The wolfhound bitch is in season and wants to tear the head off her ardent suitor. Meanwhile, her ardent suitor, a Bassethound called Chester is not taking the hint. He has not taken a bite to eat, or a wink of sleep in four days and will not stop whining and barking.. 24 hrs a day.... If someone passed me a gun, I dunno if I would blow my brains out or Chesters. Poor boy. I know he cannot help it really.... Astra the wolfhound actually grabbed him by the scruff of the neck and tossed him away yesterday. Chester, a little stunned, soon felt better and normal service of beseeching whining and barking was resumed.... Edited January 18 by Tinkicker 1 4 Quote

Tiggie Posted March 14 Posted March 14 Obligatory look at my Golden post Came across what could of potentially been a bad problem yesterday. When I go out she stays in the dining room as its the most dog proof place. Gave her a Kong toy ( fill it with food and freeze it overnight, takes her an hour to finish that way) and went to work. When I came back at dinner I couldn't open the dining room door. she had dropped the kong next to the door and the rubber was gripping the laminate so it wouldn't open. With a bit of jiggling I got the door open enough to get my hand through and knock it out of the way. Took a while though and didn't help that she kept smashing into the door being excited to see me and not understanding why I wouldn't open it! Uploaded a quick video on youtube to show how it blocked the door as its easier to see yourself 1 5 Quote
