"I've got two male mountain curs. Will run coons with other dogs. And will bay caged coon. They kill oppossums all the time. They're forsale or trade for beagles, shock collars, dog boxes, costa sunglasses, ect. They'd also make some fine squirrel dogs I just ain't got the time to give em."

sunglasses, shock collars, whatever

Then someone found this dog:


And then there's this thing:

"Hates cats.....other than that great!"

I want to know what specifically is going on inside that dog that causes his chest to be so much wider than his shoulders. I want to see x-rays or something.

Yeah, but is it muscle? Fat? What substance is filling the chest of dogs like that? And how does it compare to the corresponding tissue in a normal dog, I want to know.

My cat keeps going missing, but anyone who dares to try and tame is wild heart is the REAL rear end in a top hat!

quote:

Rocky is missing again. The last time (last month) he was gone for 10 days. Rocky is `neutered` so I can`t imagine him roaming so far from home for so long. What I think happened is ...he wandered into someones property that last time, and whoever`s property it was...thought they had `found` a new cat ? Rocky has it `made` at his home, and the ONLY reason that I can imagine him not coming home for his daily brkfst, brunch, lunch, and dinner is....that someone has him again, and they are trying to make him their `indoor` kitty ? Rocky is an indoor/OUTDOOR cat! If you are trying this ...It is cruel!!! He is almost 5 y/o and has never been confined to the indoors only. He has a heated bed on my back porch that he uses whenever he wants. He grew up in THIS backyard...it is his! If you have him...Please release him to come and go as HE pleases. If he wants to come by your house to visit, that is fine with me - we can share, but please do not hold him against his will any longer!
P.S. I have provided him w/all of his shots, and flea meds, so please don`t give him any more.
Thanks to all who have taken the time to read this.

My parents literally believe that most of the outdoor cats we had growing up that spontaneously disappeared were all, in fact, stolen. Surely, some nice old lady decided to keep them and feed them fresh tuna and caviar on velvet pillows and there is no way that they were actually torn into confetti by foxes or mowed down by cars. :downs:

Most cats probably don't really even give a poo poo about the outside. If yours does, then learn how to walk them in a harness.

To contribute. Couldn't possibly keep the dog INSIDE, could we?

And then this one is much sadder:

I've seen the person post this for months, so maybe the dog isn't as fantastic as she claims, but if she's really looking for a service dog, my heart goes out to her.

A high protein lowfat diet combined with 150lb squats and 125lb reps is my guess.

My real guess is that he was being trained to fight and being pumped full of growth hormones, those muscles are far too developed to have occurred naturally.

English bulldogs and other dogs with that really wide stance look so goddamn uncomfortable, with the legs so far out from center. I wish I could come up with some really good front-view skeleton pictures to compare a "wide" dog with a "normal" dog, and I'm not sure how you can distinguish between actual skeletal structure and the mounting technique of the person who assembled it. It's actually something I've been spergy-curious about for a long time. :downs:

Anyway, 1920s bulldog and basset hound skeletons:



Do they get hosed-up joint issues from that structure?

This is what an actual super ripped, ~muscled up~ bulldog looks like


this is a dog at pit weight (prob dried out)


This is a pet bulldog about a pound from what would be his pit weight



Pit dogs are not ham shaped. Pit dogs are not overly muscled. Pit dogs are never blue, like the dog posted. Pit dogs are not fed steroids. Pit dogs are not "trained" to fight. I have to say this for lurkers or I will go insane. :tipshat:

Good news related to this thread, guys. With the information I helped provide, Fish and Wildlife services are gonna be busting an illegal poaching operation on craigslist that involves endangered turtle species! :toot:

No reward offered, but well worth it imo. If you see some obviously illegal stuff (like selling animals that are restricted in your state) going on, report it to this place: http://www.fws.gov/

I'm not sure what the European equivalent is, though.

No no, I'm not a breeder! posted:

It is with great regret that we need to re-home our beautiful Solomon Island Eclectus pair - "Dudley" & "Lola". They are wonderful pets - Dudley is a great talker too - Lola not so much...lol They love each other dearly - so I do not want to seperate them. Eclectus are very different from other parrots - so I would love them to go to someone who is already familiar with the breed and their dietary needs. They eat a lot of fruits, veggies & sprouts and just about anything else you eat! They have bred successfully several times - I do not promote them breeding - they just do it on their own! Lola is very handlable - Dudley can be - he is also very protective of Lola - so never trust him 100% lol Pairs of Eclectus sell for over $3000 - we are only asking $1500 because I want someone who has wanted these feather babies in their lives to afford them & still be able to spoil them rotten! If you are that someone - please contact us at -------. Thank you

"We want the very best for our beloved feather babies...and you better not offer less than $1500. Have we mentioned that they're a successful breeding pair? Not that we're selling them as such or anything."

i have a 6 week old mixed puppy hes shitzu and unknown. he is a little sweet heart we havent had him very long but we have been working on his puppy pad training and hes doing very well. i just am not home enough to give him the attention he deserves. he loves every 1 and loves my daughter who is 15 months old i got him for her i just didnt think it all the way through shes 2 young and i work 2 much and it breaks my heart that he doesnt have some one with him all day :-( im asking 75 he comes with food, puppy pads, bed and toys and his food bowls dog house and all things needed if you want 2 give him a good home that he deserves contact me through email and we will go from there here is a couple pics and they dont do him justice hes a cute sweet baby!!

Whenever I read one of these I really, really want to e-mail the person and ask exactly how long is "not very long". Tuesday?

Yep, let's get a puppy too young to leave its mother, give it to my daughter who is not even a year and a half old, then leave it alone all day. What, you mean I should think this through? Nah, what could go wrong?

I like ads like these, however:

quote:

2 fullblooded male 2year old Mnt Curs. theyve been used mainly on coon and opossum,but could be used for squirrels and hogs to. Theyll run with other dogs and will bark a caged coon, and have treed and killed opossums. Theyll run and tree hides and dummies,and will tree a squirrel hide also. Theyre priced at $125 each , $150 for both. All trades are considered, but id like to trade for other dogs, coonhounds or beagles.

Just think how happy all them dawgs are. :)
