People always think Kaiser is a puppy. That's part of the problem. He is rowdy and playful. He jerked me this morning, when he saw another dog he wanted to be friends with, and that is not good for arms that ache and hips that hurt. Kiesha plays all the time, too, but she weighs about half what he does, so it doesn't get to me as badly. He is always winding the leash around me and pulling ahead as hard as he can.

He is perfectly trained to walk without a leash, but the neighbors here don't understand that I can control him better when he isn't wearing one. When I put the leash on him, he knows he is the strongest. If he decides to go to Dallas, we are going to Dallas. But the law is the law, and I won't take chances that he is reported and taken away just because I don't like to fight with the leash.

My mom has a black lab that is strong as a Ox. No one can control him on a leash if he wants to chase a squirrel is going to chase a squirrel with or without you.

Its a good idea to start a thread about pets and maybe picture sharing. I have notice a lot of people like to post pics of there family or pets It would be nice to have a spot just for that.

Your right about Rotties getting a bad rep. I just love them... I wanted one but I think my house is to small for one. Plus they drool all over the place. Also your house Ins will go up if you own a Rottie or a Pit bull. That's how it is here in CT anyway.

I would be lost without my dogs I have 2 chi chi's and a wolf dog. I can't tell anyone what she is because they are illegal. I had a timber wolf Shepard mix and now I have a Tenn red wolf dog she is beautiful. My neighbors are always asking what she is I say huskie and something else. One of my neighbors knows because his sister has one too. But I told you guys shhhhh don't tell anyone. :}

May God give you...For every storm a rainbow, for every tear a smile, for every care a promise and a blessing in each trial. For every problem life sends, a faithful friend to share, for every sigh a sweet song and an answer for each prayer.”

The woman said something about the paws being a way to distinguish wolves from dogs, but it's been a few years, and I can't remember.

Ignorance is the most harmful trait we humans have. We react more strongly to our ignorance and prejudices than we do to what's right in front of our noses.

I like the idea of including pictures. You can include them in messages, if you use "reply" and not the Quick Reply option. They have to be small, so it's best to use a screen capture to grab just what you want to put into the message. This is my grandbaby Ian. He hasn't started losing his baby teeth yet, but it won't be long.

Our kids love us and I'm sure they do their best to show it, but there's never any doubt with the fur-babies. Best medicine in the world.
