Just My Humble
Opinion
Opinions are like belly buttons, everybody has one!
Here are a few of mine.
On Dogs
and Children
I believe that it
should be the decision of the parents when a child is ready for the
responsibility of having a dog, not the dog breeder who has no knowledge
of the level of maturity of the child, or the ability of the parents to
teach their children the proper care of their pets. Fortunately my
parents felt the same way! As you can see, I have been a dog owner all
my life.
On
Spaying/neutering
If you
decide not to breed your dog PLEASE have it fixed. In female dogs, spaying greatly reduces many
health risks. The sooner you have it done, the better. Spaying a
female BEFORE their first heat drastically reduces the chance of mammary
tumors later in life. It also eliminates the chance for metritis or
pyometra, which can kill your dog almost before you even realize she is
ill.
Dogs
are not little humans in fur suits.
Dogs
are intelligent, fun, social creatures, but they are not human. Trying
to make your dog into a person can result in a dog that is ill mannered,
and possibly neurotic. Love him for what he is.......a DOG!
Owner
commitment
I
believe that the commitment the new owner has towards
his dog is far more important than the size of his back yard
or the size of his bank account. While I would not sell a breed
of dog totally unsuitable for a particular lifestyle, like a bulldog to
someone who wanted a jogging companion, a breeder needs to take many
things into consideration and
not be unreasonable in their requirements for their puppy
customers. For example, I would not be opposed to selling a
dog to someone who lived in a rented apartment, providing that the
landlord was agreeable, and that the owner fully understood the exercise
requirements of the breed and was
willing to make sure the dog gets enough exercise. I try to
let common sense prevail.
Playing Games
Some of my well meaning friends
have mentioned that perhaps I should build several different web sites,
and not have all my dogs on one site. Somewhere along the line, it
seems that having more than 2 or 3 different breeds of dogs has become
politically incorrect. I suspect it came from those very foolish
animal rights people, who don't think people should even be allowed to
have pets. At any rate, I will not stoop to playing silly games to
sell puppies. I am proud of what I do to make a living. If I
can't be proud of what I do I have no business doing it. And you
can see my opinion of political correctness below.....
Definition:
"Political Correctness"
A doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical, liberal minority, and
rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds
forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by
the clean end.
And to sum
things up :-)
We The
People..... Of The United States
This is probably the best e-mail I've seen in a long, long time. The
following has been attributed to State Representative Mitchell Aye from
GA. This guy should run for President one day...
"We the sensible people of the United States, in an attempt to help
everyone get along, restore some semblance of justice, avoid more riots,
keep our nation safe, promote positive behavior, and secure the
blessings of debt free liberty to ourselves and our
great-great-great-grandchildren, hereby try one more time to ordain and
establish some common sense guidelines for the terminally whiny, guilt
ridden, delusional, and other liberal bed-wetters.
We hold these truths to be self evident: that a whole lot of people are
confused by the Bill of Rights and are so dim they require a Bill of
NON-Rights."
ARTICLE I: You do not have the right to a new car, big screen TV, or any
other form of wealth. More power to you if you can legally acquire them,
but no one is guaranteeing anything.
ARTICLE II: You do not have the right to never be offended. This country
is based on freedom, and that means freedom for everyone -- not just
you! You may leave the room, turn the channel, express a different
opinion, etc.; but the world is full of idiots, and probably always will
be.
ARTICLE III: You do not have the right to be free from harm. If you
stick a screwdriver in your eye, learn to be more careful, do not expect
the tool manufacturer to make you and all your relatives independently
wealthy.
ARTICLE IV: You do not have the right to free food and housing.
Americans are the most charitable people to be found, and will gladly
help anyone in need, but we are quickly growing weary of subsidizing
generation after generation of professional couch potatoes who achieve
nothing more than the creation of another generation of professional
couch potatoes.
ARTICLE V: You do not have the right to free health care. That would be
nice, but from the looks of public housing, we're just not interested in
public health care.
ARTICLE VI: You do not have the right to physically harm other people.
If you kidnap, rape, intentionally maim, or kill someone, don't be
surprised if the rest of us want to see you fry in the electric chair.
ARTICLE VII: You do not have the right to the possessions of others. If
you rob, cheat, or coerce away the goods or services of other citizens,
don't be surprised if the rest of us get together and lock you away in a
place where you still won't have the right to a big screen color TV or a
life of leisure.
ARTICLE VIII: You do not have the right to a job. All of us sure want
you to have a job, and will gladly help you along in hard times, but we
expect you to take advantage of the opportunities of education and
vocational training laid before you to make yourself useful.
ARTICLE IX: You do not have the right to happiness. Being an American
means that you have the right to PURSUE happiness, which by the way, is
a lot easier if you are unencumbered by an over abundance of idiotic
laws created by those of you who were confused by the Bill of Rights.
ARTICLE X: This is an English speaking country. We don't care where you
are from, English is our language. Learn it or go back to wherever you
came from! (lastly....) NOW..
ARTICLE XI: You do not have the right to change our country's history or
heritage. This country was founded on the belief in one true God. And
yet, you are given the freedom to believe in any religion, any faith, or
no faith at all; with no fear of persecution. The phrase IN GOD WE TRUST
is part of our heritage and history, and if you are uncomfortable with
it, TOUGH!!!!
If you agree, share this with a friend. No, you don't have to, and
nothing tragic will befall you if you don't. I just think it's about
time common sense is allowed to flourish. Sensible people of the United
States speak out because if you do not, who will?
