Thumbs up THANK YOU

Yes, I always get rescues or given to me unwanted .

This one was going to be put to death, he was 100 % neutral, didn't like nor dislike me but was -so- damn cute I took a chance .

It turned out he'd been given as a tiny puppy to a young Hispanic girl who hurt him badly, he'd go insane when any young Hispanic girls tried to pet him...

That's fine, I wanted him for a working fenced in guard dog .

I feed my dogs kibble, any brand that's "full nutrition" plus the occasional left overs from take out and of course, beef bones and pig ears, gotta keep 'em happy as well as healthy .

I'm always amused by those (mostly women) who claim 'oh but my little darling won't eat anything but (insert high priced canned food here) and I don't want to starve him/her' .

Having farm knowledge helps ~ any animal (includes humans) who doesn't eat whatever is lain in front of them, simply eats TOO MUCH .

When they get hungry they'll eat, period .

Same deal with my Foster boys ~ they get good food, properly cooked, if they want seconds,they have to eat their veggies and so on .

I've never had a dog with a short lifespan .

God danm how I miss him already .

The local pounds & animal shelters are all closed, the L.A. County shelters have a few good looking possibilities but no mention of how to get one...

Their web page sucks too, it takes over 5 minutes to load each page .
