Quicksilver although I quote you to start this is not directed at you just trying to shorten up the posting time for me. Thanks for the I respect thing, Thank you.
So again as I may have quoted you at the start of this post this is a finishing general comment to the thread and directed in total to you.
While I do understand what you are saying. It is next to impossible for me to take it down anymore or it will turn into mush. I not sure how to soft petal it anymore then I am.
It to me is like someone telling me after all these years that they bought their dog from a pet store and they did not know it was a mill dog.
I do wonder what rock they have hide under. Believe me it happened this weekend and I had to leave the room.
With this fellow it has been going on since the day he rolled onto TV and he is still around cause well he is cute and he makes for dramatic reality TV.
I not out to change the world or get him off TV but if one person reads this and thinks hard and goes a different way from him. I've done what I set out to do.
One will ripple to another to another to another and one day just like puppy mills are going out of business he will too.
While I understand I get laughed at or beat on I also understand that it is part and parcel of making change and others coming to a better understanding. What one does not know or understand or may make you feel uncomfortable or in the wrong means the messenger carrying that info gets beat on do to ones discomfort with the info.( I am not saying that you beat on me I am saying in general) I am ok with that.
Example the person that first said the earth is round
That puppy mills are bad.
That the biewer breed will be a breed.
That wolves are not pack animals.
That women should vote and should be equal.
That slaver is wrong.
That beating your child is wrong...why the SPCA came about in the first place was to stop child abuse ( yes I know it still happens but back then children where owned).... they all got beat on and look things changed.
For me it is truly one dog at a time. One owner at time.
If many in the board want to laugh go right ahead and do so, but humbly that is it in a nut shell. For me it is not ok to hurt a dog in the name of training and doing so is not anything less then abuse. Just cause we can make a dog do something does not mean we have the right to do so or should. Does not mean we let them run wild either we can control without force.
