Great alarm dogs.

I don't think I'd debark any dog. But we do have a bark collar for ours. When we leave, he barks until "Mom" comes home. We put the bark collar on and he doesn't bark. Even when the battery goes dead, he still doesn't bark.

Never said I agreed with debarking....my ex hence the ex part wan't the sharpest knife in the drawer.

As to collars, your experience is common. She also tried using a collar on my female Lab w/o my input. She turned it up on high. The Lab went into a serious lethargy from it. Was seriously thinking of smacking her for for doing that.....stupid twit.....

Took a ride around the joint yesterday. The Red Heeler is 13 years old. She likes to ride a little bit more than she used to:cool:

Hey human, take us for a ride in this contraption thingy, and make it snappy. We're dying for an In & Out Burger K-9 style.

Just don't leave us in this thing like cousin Bart from Chicago. You might not be too happy when you get back....... Now get crackin on that K-9 style burger.

So weird. I can't see any posts or anything, the page just stops after PorscheGal's post of the polar bear petting the dog. I was able to see the newer posts by replying with a quote to one of the posts above hers.

I just read an article that said that the same place that had the polar bear petting the dog had a polar bear kill a dog less than a week later. The guy that lost the dog breeds some sort of rare Alaskan husky or something like that and has had to move a bunch of his dogs because the polar bears were killing them on a weekly basis. A scientist that was quoted in the article said that the "petting" was probably like a cat playing with it's food before it kills it. I guess it seems less "sweet" now.

Now a year since my girl Stella passed. I still miss her every day but we're getting close to bringing home a new rescue.

Re: the story below, I don't know many of the details, I don't know what their issue was with their dog, there might be a perfectly good explanation.

But on the surface, it just pisses me off to no end!

Heartless family leaves escaped dog at shelter, adopts new pup
Published November 30, 2016 New York Post

A California family is being hounded on Facebook after they were caught on camera doing their dog dirty — getting her all happy and excited to leave an animal control shelter and then adopting a new four-legged best friend, instead.

Heart-wrenching video posted on Monday by a worker at the Los Angeles County Department of Animal Care and Control center in Downey shows the German Shepherd, Zuzu, frantically wagging her tail and barking for joy after spotting her despicable owners.

The pooch had gotten loose — hopping the family’s backyard fence and then escaping into their neighbor’s yard — and was picked up by Animal control, according to the worker.

Zuzu’s owners arrived at the shelter a short time later, but not to reclaim her like the staff had hoped.

“Doing Dog Intros we got [interrupted] by a distracted and overly excited Zuzu,” Desi Lara wrote in the video description. “With her fast wagging tail seeing her owners Zuzu lite up like a Christmas Tree. She looked like the happiest dog. Yeah, she’s going home. But No. Talking to her owners they told me they were not here to reclaim her, they were getting another dog.”
