Does the US really need a comprehensive reform of it's immigration policy?

speakeasy @speakeasy (4171) • United States 13 Sep 09

Everyone seems to be running around saying that the US immigration system is "broken" and needs comprehensive reform. But, does it really? Our current immigration policy allows foreign tourists to come visit our country. It...

dobyladysaturn I do believe you have stated this very accurately. If you are here legally there isn't a problem. If you are illegal then you should be removed. There are legally acceptable reasons for people to continue to be here that I am sure our system allows for just...

dobyladysaturn I am afraid I would be long gone. My husband wants to move to Florida and I don't. Seems this is another good reason why I shouldn't. I like the wildlife but don't want it coming in the house with me.

My daughter handles her dog in her first dog show

Carmetaf @Carmetaf (309) • United States 2 May 08

Anna is 10, her dog that she's showing is 3 yrs old. She was so cute to watch. It's a great way for this shy kid to come out of her shell a bit too. :)

If a dog bites you, what would you do?

dobyladysaturn It truly depends on why the dog is biting. If play biting you teach it not to bite with corrective behavior. If biting because it is attacking find out why it is before doing something about biting. If biting because it is hurt or hurting that is normal and...

dobyladysaturn Most dobes are NOT mean just very loving. They are called the velcro dog because they want to be with you and touching you as much as possible. They are also good with children. Both my boys were raised with them and can tell you. They are grown now. My dobe I...

Do You Think Oprah's Show May Have Brought More Awareness of The Puppy Mills?

dobyladysaturn If you want to come to America you should do it legally. You pay taxes, be able to support yourself, you learn the language (it is a safety issue believe it or not), no welfare or food stamps, no free ride when the citizens can't even get help. The companies...

Should convicted illegal immigrants be deported?

Guardian208 @Guardian208 (1095) • United States 7 Apr 08

More and more often we find that people who are committing crimes in the US are here illegally. You don't get this information easily since most TV news shows leave out the fact that the criminal was here illegally. Most...

dobyladysaturn Yes they should be deported after they do their time. If they return they should be picked up and deported. They lost the right to be here when they came illegally and after committing a different crime they no longer have any right to come back. If they...

dog debarking?

jobenmakapangyarihan @jobenmakapangyarihan (546) • Philippines 7 Apr 08

Debarking, or devocalization, is a controversial surgical procedure, similar to a laryngectomy, applied to dogs to permanently stop them from barking. Debarking reduces the volume and pitch of a dog's bark making it sound more as...

dobyladysaturn No I do NOT believe in debarking. With that said someone I knew several years ago had a dog that he had debarked. She was about year old when he got her and she never shut up. He bought bark collars (and that was when they were a lot more expensive than they...

dobyladysaturn Dogs go through shedding times in the spring and fall. They also loose puppy coats and after a heat cycle. Short hair dogs actually shed more than long hair dogs. They seem to shed all the time. If a dog is an inside dog the shed all the time also it seems....

dobyladysaturn I am sorry. It is a horrible feeling. Nothing I say will help you right now. Just know most people have had accidents involving animals (pets and wild animals) most people probably feel bad.

what to do about stray dog menace

psree2000 @psree2000 (82) • India 4 Apr 07

It is horrifying to read that young children get mauled by stray dogs. If the civic administration takes initiative to get rid of these stray dogs, the animal activists agitate. What is the solution for this issue?
