Yeah, every time I think there should be a thread about Craigslist pet insanity I start looking for examples and get horribly depressed about all the parrots. And the puppies. And the cats and the sugar gliders and the snakes and the turtles and...yeah.

I don't think I've ever heard the "new baby, no time" excuse used for one lone fish.

It goes on. Eventually there are pictures of dogs. And a jacuzzi. And a kitchen. And a baby swing. And a person. If you really want I can get the whole text but I haven't managed to read it yet.

The title, of course, is "Don't believe the lies......"

A Bait Dog For Your Pit Bulls.

*lhasa apso*

There was a lot about PITBULLS. There are PITBULLS everywhere just ravening for her puppies; also pitbuls. "my puppies are not going to end up being a snack for their pitbuls. She called me and screamed that it was "discrimination", call it whatever you want, but they are MY puppies and I can do whatever I please with them. I can pick and choose who gets the puppies. I am free to do what I wish, I only sell them to upscale and middle class homes, none of which contain pitbulls. I am selling one to a wonderful woman who owns an English Bulldog, but she has him well-trained and he is a gentle giant"

"that is not the purpose of me breeding these puppies I do it to provide good families quality puppies for their Kid's first puppy, or Christmas puppies or birthday puppies or whatever the occassion."

Puppies for "whatever the occassion," too! It's like Hallmark. Condolence puppies, belated birthday puppies, retirement puppies, get well soon puppies, world's best grandma puppies, save the date puppies....

Nonsense, it's 90% house-trained!

Seriously, I'm liking this plant. It has character. Takes down goats? Very vocal? Good with kids, cats, and larger dogs? How many of you can say that about your houseplants?

I wonder if they'd ship to NY.

I'm thinking something with kind of a Motown sound. Just make sure there's a love interest.

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?

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."

People breed and sell "wolf hybrids" all the time. I mean, some of them actually are wold hybrids, but...

That is certainly the first person I'd go to if I wanted to rehome small mammals, yes. Or for the boarding he advertises. I'm sure he never gets mixed up about which rats go to the snakes...
