Reaver

Just adopted a stray dog

Recommended Posts

It's a Pit/Boston Terrier mix. It was a stray...the shelter said they were going to put it to sleep since it was part Pit Bull, according to the woman that found it and nursed it back to health. Still missing a bunch of its coat, and it was horribly malnourished...even after the woman fed him for two weeks, you can still see his ribs, it's pitiful...but man the dog stole my heart.

 

He's about 2-3 years old according to the vets estimates. I named him Bogey.

 

So that makes dog #3. I am going to start a rescue shelter for dogs, especially pits (since they get put to sleep almost automatically) once I get the money coming in. I don't care how much it costs. I am doing what I can now, but it's tough fitting three dogs into one house especially when one's a GSD. haha

 

Just brought him home a couple hours ago, so I am pretty excited.

Very nice Reaver. I, too, have 2 rescue dogs and used to volunteer with a rescue organization when I was in Indiana. My neighbor here has a puppy pit, named Hooch. oh man, this dog is absolutely adorable and is STRONG!! He chewed through a thick metal rope one morning to come and visit my dogs. The owner leaves him outside all day long while he's at work....in the rain, in the sun, in the cold....well, cold so far. It's the guys first dog I think and I just realllllly hope he doesn't leave the dog outside in the winter.

 

I started a new company recently, too, making organic dog treats from locally sourced (as local as I can get anyways) ingredients. Gonna be making a few hundred today to have a big Halloween marketing blitz around here.

Good work mate. I'm gonna get my Dobermann soon, I can't wait.

 

Do you have breed specific legislation (BSL) in the USA? Over here in Aus they are introducing BSL which is really worrying. In my home state, they want to ban the breeding of dogs which have any possibility of passing on genetic defects such as VwD. That will rule out breeds such as my beloved Dobermann's, Rotweiller's etc..

 

Some woman was recently bitten by a Rottie last week in Perth and now more calls are being put out to ban more breeds. Currently in Victoria American Pit Bulls are banned....Blame the owners not the breed I reckon! I hate it how politicians are quick to pass knee jerk legislation in relation to dogs.

Good to hear Reav! I'm a dog lover as well and it's nice to see a fellow TL member taking such a strong interest!

 

Good luck with your new friend.

 

Yeah I am pretty psyched. Poor thing was out on its own for who knows how long. Skinny as a rail. But he's living the good life now! Hope to be able to do more one of these days.

Hey man that sounds good, I'd like to hear more about it. If it's going to be internet based or anything like that, I'd be happy with doing some grassroots advertising for you man. I'd post up some ads here and there and tell people I know about it. Just something to help out. Not to mention, I'd place a few orders myself. Yeah if that guy leaves the dog out in the winter, you may have to take steps....we should hog tie him and stick him a meatlocker for a few days with some kibbles to eat. That'll make him do some more in depth contemplation next time. LOL

 

Good luck with the business, get back to me about it!

Yeah not aware of anything like that so far, but things change so fast here in the States, who knows what'll happen in the near future....

 

Glad to hear about your new puppy on the way Nick! Dogs are awesome! I've always liked Dobermanns.

Here's a great story for you Reaver.

 

http://www.cairnspost.com.au/article/2007/10/31/4400_news.html

 

The Dobe was adopted a week ago by a family and then saved the little girl's life from a King Brown snake (3rd most deadly in the world) by picking her up by the back of her nappy and throwing her aside before being bitten itself.

 

Karma at work right there! Save a dog, dog saves you!

    • Date: 26th July 2024. The Yen Soars as the Likelihood of a BoJ Rate Hike Rises! The Japanese Yen wins back some lost ground as global Central Banks edge closer to rate cuts. The probability of another interest rate hike by the Bank of Japan increases. July’s best performing currencies are the Japanese Yen (+4.35%), British Pound (+1.41%) and the Swiss Franc (+1.41%). Currencies are taking advantage of the weaker US Dollar, but the worst performing currency remains the New Zealand Dollar. USDJPY – Growing Likelihood of a Second BoJ Rate Hike! The USDJPY increases in value for a third consecutive week and for a fourth consecutive day. Three factors are contributing to the Dollar decline: The Fed’s upcoming interest cut, the Bank of Japan’s interest rate hike and the political uncertainty in the US. The day’s best performing currency is the Japanese Yen which is currently increasing in value against all currencies. Currently, the USDJPY is trading below the trend-line and below the 100-Period SMA which indicates in the medium-term sellers are controlling the price actions. The exchange rate is also below the neutral on all oscillators and forms a clear bearish trend price pattern. Currently the only indications pointing towards a loss of bearish momentum is the diversion formed on the RSI. As a result, even though the trend clearly forms downwards, investors need to be cautious of a potential retracement. If the price trades above 152.96, a larger retracement becomes likely. However, if the price falls below 152.015, momentum will indicate the continuation of the downward trend to 151.674 in the short term and 151.267 thereafter. The likelihood of further monetary policy tightening by the Japanese regulator is growing. Preliminary data for July showed an increase in business activity, indicating a recovery in the national economy. The consumer price index remains above the target level, reaching 2.8% in June, with the core indicator stabilizing around 2.6%. Officials are optimistic about maintaining these high levels, supported by significant wage increases. According to Reuters, Bank of Japan officials will discuss the possibility of raising the interest rate at their meeting on July 31st. Analysts do not expect active measures until after the summer months. However, investors will price in the adjustment before the decision takes place. The US Fed experts may turn to “dovish” rhetoric in September, which puts pressure on the dollar. Currently, inflation is slowing growth, business activity is declining, and the labor market is showing signs of cooling. The US PMI data from yesterday largely triggered an attempted bullish correction but was viewed as mixed. The price action of the US Dollar and the USDJPY will now largely depend on the Gross Domestic Product and Weekly Unemployment Claims. These will be made public at 12:30 GMT. Analysts expect the US economy to grow 2.0%. If the US GDP reading is lower than expectations, the US Dollar potentially can come under pressure. At the same time, weaker earnings data from the US can trigger higher demand for the Japanese Yen. The Yen is known as a safe haven currency alternative to the Dollar.

    • The cheat is on ! ... just sayin’.   This cycle it only needs to occur in 2 states, and in those 2 states in only 14 precincts... the organized  ‘machines’ for these cheats have been in been in place for decades... And here’s a tiny counter balance to a massive psyop narrative being perpetrated 24 7... as predicted the "entertaining ourselves to death" show is on full blast with the media re-creating Kasmella Devil as a firebrand ‘gettrdone’ kind of woman.  In reality, she is not a leader.  At work, no one wants to work for or with her or negotiate with her.  For this potus application - worse she is just a follower... a whore who is putty in the hands of the exploiters who ‘own’ her... the same ppl who owned and ‘managed’ Joe.  She is just a team member of probably the most corrupt, evil administration in history.  She is only good for regurgitating whatever narrative is handed her - until very recently how superbly fit Joe is, how the border was visited and secure, etc. etc.   She is not in charge of her vp office and duties... and now she will not even be in charge of her own party or campaign... she’s simply not sufficiently competent. As AG of CA she was a puppet who nudged along the social engineering policies that made that beautiful state the ugly mess it is today - esp the cities.   And, btw, by Willie fkng her way to the top, she has placed herself in a position where she can’t really get too deep into calling Donald a predator...cause she’s ‘paying’ as a ‘victim’ / being paid off the same way as Stormy... whoa. .. and lest you are ready to stereotype me and my positions - In my view, this election is not about preventing the decline of the USA.  That decline trajectory was established many decades ago and stabilized by the mid 1970’s.   There is no making America great again.  This election is about either hastening the end or tapping the brakes a little bit on the inevitable decline of the USA.  So - if you think her promises that the “middle class is our main priority” are real or if you think America is 1 man away from greatness again, well I have a finely designed bridge in Baltimore for sale ... best offer...
