  1. New "little" Buddy For The Family

    in Dumpster

    Posted

    blue wilderness has a large breed food made with bison, venison, and a few other proteins...all grain-free high quality food....pricey though...my guy loves the stuff though (although i feed a different flavor to him, since he isnt really a "large" breed to me...i just feed regular blue wilderness)

     

    My wife is actually considering making our own food for the guy. I'm not too sure about this idea - so if anyone has any thoughts on it let me know. She's been doing some reading up, and you can actually end up saving some money and also get to know the protein quality (chicken/turkey/whatever) that goes into the grub. Anyway, interested to hear if anyone knows anything about this.

    Haha as soon as I read the thread title, I knew it was a Dane.

    They're awesome dogs. I have met 4 or 5 of them at the daycare our rescue works with. They are all such sweethearts. Sometimes total pussies. "Dirk" was my favorite. By far the tallest Dane I have ever met, and also the most mellow.

    Other dogs would get into a tiff (which usually sends the pack swarming), and Dirk would be running the other way.

    I was in charge of the grill for a fund raiser, and Dirk's head was level with or above everyone's plate. We may as well have water-boarded the poor dog, but he never took a crumb.

    I told the wife I want to get a puppy when our daughter turns 4 (my earliest memories are when I was 3 or 4), and she said "you can do that ...if you want the kids to visit the puppy on weekends!" She's a real comedian.

     

    totally awesome dogs. I think its something about the size...they just don't care about all the little squabbles. We were members at a dog park thing with our last dane and all these little ankle biters would try to start crap, and she'd just ignore. Except this one fluff covered turd wouldn't leave her alone. The only time in 8 years I ever saw her bark in anger. HOLY HELL. That fluff ball ran like the dickens and I just about did too. There's a reason they're mellow. They'd be damn intimidating if anything else. :) 

     

    Btw, our youngest kids are 4 (twins) and they are loving every second so far of Otis. I think this age is going to be the perfect choice.

  23. Man Tasered By Police For Trying To Safe Infant Son From Fire

    You are assuming two things:

     

    1) The child was still alive at the time the police stopped the father

    2) That there was any hope at all of saving the child, even if still alive.

     

    Could you accept that it's possible the police saved the father from a vain attempt to rescue an already-dead child that could only have lead to his own death

     

    I understand that COULD have been the possibility (and understanding that we don't know the whole story....that could have really been the truth) but if there's even a SHRED of doubt in the fathers mind that the child is alive, I certainly don't think any police officer should prohibit a parent from trying to save the life of their child - even if the child was in a state that would have left them as a vegetable. I think that's parents rights, and no officer should stand between me and one of my kids.
