They're nice looking; I'd get that eye checked out though. I think it was either Sophie or Chewie who had something like that and the vet gave me medication to give to them.

Very nice, tnh and so true. But I do have to point out one thing that you said. You said this:
How can there be evil in a world created by a good God? We can't know.
Actually we do know; it's because God gave us the free will/choice to do as we please. And now that we have choice, some people can choose not to believe in Him. And that is why there is evil in this world.

Cute. The first photo looks a bit odd. Maybe you could've moved the second guy a bit farther away.

Okay this is how I see dog training for some of you who think I'm crazy with this submission thing. Now that I am calmed down I will try to convey to you all where I stand on this. This is my answer from a pm I previously answered: and no evidence or logic will dissuade you. ^I have listened to people who train dogs on various Animal Planet shows, not just the one I usually refer too. I've read dog books saying what's what by different authors. I'm always ready to learn new things, but all of those say the same thing about dog training. You're going to call all of those authors and tv show hosts liars? How you came to support his theories for all dogs I do not know ^I'm not supporting his theory at all. I don't even know who the man is, how I can support someone if I've never heard of him. I go by what I read and see on tv. it is how you came to it (unknown) ^I have told you countless times where I have come by my information. Look above and read it again and that's where I get my info from. Rules and boundaries are of course needed. ^That's what I mean by being the leader, to enforce the rules. Example: Children listen to their parents because they enforce the rules and can still love you doing it gently. Dad says, "Don't cross the street when it's a green light.", so we listen because Dad told us so. Mom says, "Be good boy and maybe you'll get something for it." You're a good boy and you're rewarded. You figure out that whatever your parents say are for your own good and that they love you and if you're good enough you can get rewarded for it. Same with a dog. You tell the dog to heel, and when he does you praise him with a "good boy" or a big petting or maybe even a treat. You tell the dog to sit and give him praises when he does; this dog learns that you are his parent and when he does something right he's rewarded with a hug or a treat. And that owner and pet love each other because they know where they stand. That's the type of training I'm talking about. The type where you're still one higher above the dog, but you both love each other cause there is order in this dog's life and he loves you for it and other reasons and you love the dog too. Just yesterday I was looking up dogs to see if some could fit for my new story and I read a sentence about the Karelian Bear Dog and it said: if you don't force yourself as the leader, this dog will walk all over you. The training I said above, is what I mean. Not the forcefulness of "get down or I'm going to kick it in you", that's animal abuse. This way is much easier and it doesn't harm the dog and all is well. That is what I've learned and read and that is the way I'll do it with our new dog. I'm pretty sure that's how Dad did it when he trained his Irish Setter. You claimed never to have heard of any other training methods ^I really don't remember saying that and when I get angry at something I tend to repeat and not be able to get out what I'm trying to say. I'm calm now and so hopefully you understand where I stand on dog training now. Dunbar advocates a trusting, less subservient relationship, treating dogs as companions and family members. ^I agree, they should be treated as such. I don't remember ever saying they shouldn't be. If a hamster is part of the family, why not a dog? And that ends that discussion, permanently. ^Yes it does because clearly you took me being angry as sign that I support horrible training where I'm going to abuse the dog into submission where I would never ever do that. Hopefully you can see, from the above, where I stand now.

Oh my gosh that looks like it hurts, poor Show Girl. I wonder if the owner will go through with surgery, I think I would if the tumor was that big. Poor hamster.

I have tried to explain to you what I mean and you're just not getting me. You keep saying I don't know my facts and that I'm a part of this one guy's training. I know who I listen to and it's not him; I know where my facts come from as I've watched a trainer train dogs and know she is good. That's who's training I will follow.
In your pm you said it's finished, guess again. I again will try to explain myself calmly and hopefully this time you can see where I'm coming from.
In fact I'm typing this without any anger what-so-ever although that wasn't the case when reading your pm. So again like I said I will try to, again *sigh*, explain to you exactly what I mean by what I have previously stated.

Dang that is huge and long!! But some dogs do have those types of tongues where they just cannot fit in their mouths. I saw a Pekingese, on a tv show, who had a long tongue too. It happens, but that one almost looks fake.

I've heard about this and think it's perfectly fine to have a horse as a guide; I've also seen it on tv and it looks okay. I hear, from a friend, that the smaller the horse the bigger the attitude, so hopefully they can calm those horses down.
That wasn't right of the organization to allow those types of service dogs out if they're going to chase squirrels or rabbits. Service dogs should ignore everything except to help their owner.
As for other animals curing whatever disability people have, I think that's fine, if like the article states, you don't abuse it. It's like many things now-a-days, one person doesn't like it and complains, well get over it cause obviously it helps that other person. Y'all know what I'm trying to say, so I'll stop there.

Well I have to go on another site and write back to people there explaining where I was, oh right--mouse's batteries were out of line that's why I wasn't on for here. But tomorrow is yahoo (Robin--I'll get to you!), and another site. So here's the next dog for this week coming up. He's the Small Greek Domestic Dog and he's from, where else, Greece and is fearless, territorial, and a companion dog. This is them, cute aren't they: www.dogbreedinfo.com/smallgreekdomesticdog.htm

I've seen those types of things on Funniest Home Videos. It's pretty cool that dogs can do that.

They are all nice looking; I like the names you give them especially Namari's because it's different.
