David, we are sorry for your loss. You loved Maxwell and during whatever time you had together, however brief to us, he most certainly knew that.

Re: Why do chow breeders sell off their show dogs?

Someone is obviously thinking the members of this board are "a crayon short of a full box". You don't pick a username like showdogdump or ownersurrender for anything but its inherent inflammatory connotation to make a posting, and then expect to get any sort of cooperation or pleasantries ...

Re: New Vet in town, the skin Doctor

I passed a sign the other day that said "itchy pet? we're your vet" and I thought about this post! Catchy slogan for a vet I thought.

Re: Why do chow breeders sell off their show dogs?

There is a separate post under the Cartersville chows posting in the needs a home section (presumably by this same poster, but by someone calling themselves "FYI") that clearly identifies the rescue, the kennel and the chow and provides a link to it. It doesn't take a genius, but we're all...

Re: PetLand purported Puppymill buyers

This story hit our local 11 o'clock news last night. Apparently, there was a widespread humane society investigation of some sort regarding this topic. There were several states named and Florida was one of them. The clips they showed on TV contained images of the puppymill cages and the dogs inside...

Re: Need some advice

Earlier this year, I was quoted prices in the same outrageous ballpark for replacements (bilaterally). That did not include the cost of any treatments if there were complications after the replacement surgery. However, I was very relieved to go to the orthopedic specialist and find out that the orto...

Re: input needed from other rescues and others

Barb can give you a better idea because she was there and saw what you did when she adopted Ming, but, all scenarios are possible. Keep in mind that we have shelters here that (in Barb's case even with the pound pups) put down whole families of dogs without blinking an eye. They are taken in as stra...

Re: Homeowner's Insurance

Liability in general is a broad issue, for anything relating to anyone owning real property. Nothing will keep you from being sued if someone really wants to sue you, people are sued every day and have to hire lawyers to defend them, even if they are in the "right". There are "interpr...

Re: Homeowner's Insurance

Who is your insurance company? You have to tell them, however, if you are with Citizens, then I believe they exclude dog bites in all cases, your agent should know the answer to that question. I am with Citizens, and they have the exclusion (which means you pay for all cases), and there are MANY ins...
