Guard Dogs: Saving 'Unsavable' Dogs

[Cobalt]

Hard-core PETA types think that pet ownership is "animal slavery." (Seriously. I can't make stuff like that up--I'm not that creative.)

I had one of those nutjobs once try to explain to me that my pets would be happier and healthier running free in the wild. I responded that I am a rabbit owner, and I found the idea to be...unlikely.

If someone from PETA told me that, I'd calmly respond that my dog WAS a stray, ended up in an animal control facility, and would be dead if not for a woman who saved as many animals as she could from it when it was closing. They were just going to kill them all anyway. I love my lil Moxie dog.

Yeah, but translated to English it feels redundant. I know it makes sense in the naming convention of the breed, but it feels redundant. The breeds akita-inu and shiba-inu feel equally redundant if you know that inu is Japanese for dog.

I wanted a Shiba bad before I found Moxie.

... Dog. I know, it seems a little redundant to me as well. However, with all the obedience trainers and dog community folk I know it's a common abbreviation, which is why I've taken to using it.

One of the worst if PBGV - Petit Basset Griffon Vendéen -- now that's a mouth full! (adorable dogs by the way)

Well, quit yer yapping and rub that dog's belly already. Uh, I mean, viciously oppress the proletarian pooch with some bourgeois belly rubs.


Yeesh, some people have no sense of priorities...

She gets so much attention she doesn't really know what to do with it all.
