"With the thousands of dogs killed every single day by the government, I think that fixing a dog is a humane thing to do. What good is it to bring lives into the world-just for them to be killed later. There are many cities that are requiring fixing dogs or paying hundreds of dollars in a breeder's license every year. I find myself wondering if you've ever gone to a dog pound and been told which dogs are going to be killed the next day- I don't care what terms you use- dogs go to the pound and get killed. "

"So true about beauty being in the eye of the beholder-people have expectations of certain things & situations-so they react accordingly. I'm wondering if that's why the member got bit by a dog from a shelter- the dog felt her fear-or whatever & bit her. If you expect love from a certain type of dog-that type of dog will feel your love and love you back. You could get that type of love from any dog that you loved. Maximusandz loves with her heart and has different mixes that love her. Also, if you expect a dog to be more active and have love-it's a pleasure & delight. If you expect a dog to be active and don't like that breed, it's a nuisance that annoys you and a chore to take care of. It's called a self-fulfilling prophecy. You get what you expect- Death row is a good & apt term. "

"Checkers is a "designer dog" - I don't care if he's pure bred, designer, plain ole mutt - He's the best little guy in the world and he's adorable and we love him - He loves us - everyone who has ever met him falls in love with him. He's the BEST!!!!! "
