DEbarking a dog? Is that humane? What do you think?

dloveli @dloveli (4366) • United States 11 Jul 09

I was watching ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT yesterday and they did a segment on dogs who bark and neighbors complaining on them. All of a sudden a dog comes on the screen and when he goes to bark. He opens his mouth and when he starts...

Dazman1971 This is a ridiculous concept. Barking is a means of commucation that can tell the owner the dogs mood, by listening to the tone and frequency of the bark. It is also the dogs way of warning another dog or human. It's like maiming an animal because it's...

My dog peed on the couch!

roseyroser @roseyroser (1059) • United States 1 Jul 09

I have an old dog, about 14 years old. This past year he has been having trouble controlling his bladder. Today, he peed on the couch. It ended up on two of the couch cushions. It smelled really bad. My dad and I sprayed the...

Dazman1971 I can identify with your problem. I had a husky cross and she developed the problem at, around, that age. She also held her left hind leg off the ground as she moved around. We took her to the vet and discovered that she had arthritis in her rear. We were...

Scary and limpid animal

sukumar794 @sukumar794 (5040) • Thiruvananthapuram, India 18 Jun 08

My pet dog, a white colored pomeranian is all in shrouds when lightning and thunder strikes.What makes her so fearful is still a mystery.

Dazman1971 Dogs and cats have a developed sense of hearing, many times greater than ours. I can only imagine that a sudden crack of thunder would sound like an atomic bomb to their ears. Apart from them being more attuned to vibration and seeing the lightning, that...

How close do you keep your purse or your wallet?

kbourgerie @kbourgerie (8780) • United States 13 Apr 08

I've noticed that when people are shopping or out and about that many times they will put their purse down in a cart or on a chair and walk away to look at other things. Alot of times the purse is wide open and you can obviously...

Dazman1971 I have noticed this too, that people tend to become lax concerning the placement of their wallet or purse. I have not noticed it that often but I do occassionally notice it. I don't understand why they do not take more care. I always make sure it is tucked...

Divorce or Nay?

tessah @tessah (6617) • United States 22 Mar 08

comment made on another discussion spurred on this train of thought for me, so i bring it to the masses. do you beleive that a person should stay in a marriage even if they are completely miserable just because of the whole "death...

Dazman1971 If there are kids involved, it's a question of morality, but essentially I do not believe that your vows should dictate your future happiness. The other partner typically breaks his vows to begin with. His vow of "love, honour and cherish" is usually broken...

Dazman1971 To be completely honest with you we have never had that problem. My father was a loving man, but always believed a pets place is outside, not in the house. This approach erradicates the problem of pet hairs in the house, as well as defining boundaries. Pets...

When should you stop getting jealous of your partner's past relationships?

kitan2979 @kitan2979 (115) • Philippines 19 Mar 08

My boyfriend is so open and honest about his past relationships..somehow i appreciate that he's honest, it just means that he's not hiding anything from me but sometimes i just cant help it, i really get jealous and hurt,...

Dazman1971 There are two ways to look at this. The simplified "hes just being open" way, or that he might actually be trying to make you jealous. I don't this you're being unreasonable or over-sensitive. If he still keeps contact with them, then you have a legitamate...

If Someone Snaps At You

Brian @wolfie34 (26771) • United Kingdom 16 Mar 08

Do you automatically snap back? Do you bite your tongue? Does it depends on who snaps at you? How do you react if someone snaps at you?

Dazman1971 The way that I would deal with this situation is to offer only short, sharp answers. Also, I would try to avoid eye contact. This approach has served me well in the past. It serves a dual purpose : demonstrating my annoyance at the way I have been spoken to,...

Can Online Friends be real Friends?

34momma @34momma (13882) • United States 14 Mar 08

I was on Yuwie a while ago sending a comment to someone. My crazy co-work is at my desk and he asked me this question: Is that your online friend or a real life friend? So that got me to thinking, can people you meet online be...

Dazman1971 First of all, you have to be careful with people that you meet on the internet. Second, I don't think you can class an internet buddy as a real life friend unless you actually meet them in real life. It is possible to be friends on the internet but, once you...

3 months after abortion she wants kids

violeta_va @violeta_va (4831) • Australia 14 Mar 08

This was in the newspaper. This lady is asking for advice in one of those "ask the doctor" things. She had an abortion because she wasnt ready to have kids. Then 3 months after the abortion she decided that she is ready and wants...

Dazman1971 This woman is still not ready to be a mother. She changed her mind on a whim. Motherhood is not a spur of the moment decision, but a definate life change. I predict that this woman will be a poor excuse for a mother, because she hasn't thought this thing...

Dazman1971 I do receive e-mail like this, as most internet users, but not as often as i used to. The way I dealt with them is to ignore and delete them. If you respond to them, then they know they are being read. By replying to let them know that you recognise...

Glasses or contact lenses?

lorren192 @lorren192 (90) 14 Mar 08

Oh no.. I have been told that I will need to wear glasses for reading... My question to all my lotters is would you suggest I get glasses, or contact lenses,I would like to go for contact lenses because then no one would know...

Dazman1971 What does it matter if anyone knows, that you need glasses. Contact lenses are easy to loose, especially if they come lose, and there is a slight chance of infection. If you're worried about your appearance, I think you'd look fine. I say that in all...

Dazman1971 I think you're not willing to settle for second best, which is why you're still single. I sense that you know you're good, so I don't think thats it. There's a difference between not being happy with your physical appearance, and not being happy with your...

Dazman1971 I have been in a similar position but with a mere fraction of this amount. It was 5 dollars in a returned video (don't ask me how they didn't notice it). I made the phone call and returned it to them. That, however, was only $5 but I would have to say that I...

Dazman1971 In such a situation, I would lean in and listen to the conversation. This approach has worked for me on numerous occassions. Either the girlfriend introduces me or the other person enquires as to whom I am. Some people may see my approach as being rude but...

Why do people get involved in cults?

mskim2u2004 @mskim2u2004 (355) • United States 4 Mar 08

I can't understand why some people do some of the stupidest things. For instance, today I was watching Case Files. There was a cult leader that had his cult to kill an entire family, including kids. He told them that God told him...

Dazman1971 It is definately silly and it has got alot to with people wanting to fit in and yearning to be part of "something bigger". They seem to feel that their leader has been anointed by God or Jesus, and that the path to heaven is reliant on their obedience. The...
