Dog discrimination

stacyv81 @stacyv81 (5903) • United States 16 Jun 07

I was reading in a Magazine that people are less likely to adopt a black dog. Because they cannot read them as well, and they seem aggressive. I thought this was weird but apparently failry common. They said that more black dogs...

chluvcw WOW...I have never heard that. I get along well with ALL dogs no matter what their color is, and currently have a large black lab. Having had several different breeds and colors of dogs over the years, the only thing I can say is that the lighter colored dogs...

jenniesawdon @jenniesawdon (68) 17 May 07

After a previous discussion on MyLot about keeping rabbits inside or out, I finally decided that when I eventually get my rabbit I was going to keep it indoors. Now I am being told that Rabbits smell really bad. Is this true and...

chluvcw Yep, they do...it isnt too bad if you keep the cage clean. We keep ours indoors in a 5 foot long rabbit run. And we clean it out twice a day. She is littered trained and for the most part will urinate in her litter, but she does poop all over her cage, and we...

how do you a rabbit

jenniesawdon @jenniesawdon (68) 17 May 07

Ok, so im told that you could keep a rabbit inside if you clean it out often. I am also told that you can train a rabbit to do its buisness in one place, i.e. a litter tray, which would make it so easy and less smelly. But tell...

chluvcw Yes, rabbits can be trained to use a litter box, they wont always go in it, but most of the time will. We use the aspen pellets in ours, and in one corner we always place a fresh pile of hay. We use a cat litter scoop to clean it with, the dry aspen pellets...

Fight in Public Area, Is it Ok or NOT?

jencai @jencai (3412) • Philippines 16 Jun 07

Wrestling? No. Boxing? No. Riot? No. War? No. So what kind of fight am I really referring to? It could happen with husband-wife or boyfriend-girlfriend relationship. Would you fight for something in public places? Or you...

chluvcw Ok, while I would rather avoid having a squabble in public, myself, (I find it kind of embarrassing, lol), I also find it highly amusing to watch others argue in public. Mostly, because I find that, most of the time, I have had the same discussion.

chluvcw Hahahaha, yep, all the time, sit for too long in an uncomfortable chair and my butt falls asleep. I don't get the shooting pains of "pins and needles" like I do when my foot or leg falls asleep, but it is numb and it feels funny to walk until it "wakes" back...

How Self-Sufficient are You?

saigonwarrior @saigonwarrior (1331) • United States 16 Jun 07

How self-sufficient are you? I was raised by a very strong woman. She deplored weakness of any sort. She raised her children male and female alike to be self-sufficient, thereby never having to depend on anyone else for the...

chluvcw Sounds like your mom taught you a good, life long lesson. Now, I dig into just about everything if I can. We also, didn't have an easy time growing up, and you had to learn to "make do" with what you had. And if that meant either fixing what was broke or going...

Given all the horror stories about skin cancer from too much exposure to the sun rays, do you now wear sunblock to protect your skin while working outdoors? When I was growing up we thought nothing of going to the pool and getting...

Uninvited Vistors

saigonwarrior @saigonwarrior (1331) • United States 21 May 07

chluvcw Use ground chuck or sirloin, they are low in fat. Or check the meat before you buy it, and get the 7% fat, it is more expensive but worth it. Add a packet of french onion soup mix (you know, the stuff you use to make french onion dip with) along with some...

Why do we ban close relatives from marrying?

ParaTed2k @ParaTed2k (22940) • Sheboygan, Wisconsin 24 May 07

The most common answer to this question is, "because of the high risk of birth defects in offsping from close relatives". That would seem like a logical answer, but we don't bar anyone else with a high risk of passing on birth...
