Re: Dogs (was: The evils of...)
Just skimming through posts before going to sleep flagging ones of interest. I think I can field this one without going overboard. :-) From: Doug Pensinger [EMAIL PROTECTED] Michael Harney wrote: Hell, one of my dogs is allergic to poultry.

Do I remember correctly that you had a Shepherd? I have two dogs now. I have one female German shepherd that I've had for four years now, and one male dog that appears to be a chow/rotty mix. The male was a stray that I took in a little under two years ago. Michael Harney [EMAIL PROTECTED] Man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much... the wheel, New York, wars, and so on, whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely the dolphins believed themselves to be more intelligent than man for precisely the same reasons. - Douglas Adams ___ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l

The male was a stray that I took in a little under two years ago. Hmm, Chow/Rotty, that's an interesting mix. We have a 5 year old Chow Golden Retriever mix. She looks like a wide-body Golden with shortened legs. Unfortunately, she is quite overweight and we're having a hard time trying to get the pounds off. We also have a 10 year old white boxer - a real character, and a 13 year old Huskey(?)/Shepherd(?) mix. These two were both rescues. Ali, the Boxer, was brought to the shelter to be euthanized at 3 days old. My wife's boss at the time was a volunteer there and brought the puppies in to work. They were hand fed until they were old enough to eat on their own and then adopted out. The reason the dogs were brought in to the shelter was that breeders can't show or breed the whites, and to some extent they are more susceptible to health problems, though this seems to be exaggerated somewhat. Lucky was left with her litter mates in a box on a corner at about 4 weeks of age. They were due to be euthanized as well, but they bent the rules a bit and allowed us to adopt her. At 13 she is quite old for a medium/large dog, but she has more energy than either of the other two. Doug ___ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
