Hammerspur, you have beautiful dogs. I was just joking when I said the looked 'ruff. Get it? ruff ruff as in bark bark.

yes, people are superior to animals. But people are also compassionate and caring, especially if the love the Lord, and have the Holy Ghost in them. We are supposed to care for each other, and everyone on earth who is fortunate enough to be wealthy, should, in some way, be helping those who are less fortunate because of disease and/or circumstances. But that does not mean that we should not be kind to animals.
The Bible does say that animals are here for mans enjoyment. But that does not mean just to eat. Animals are companionship for many lonely people. Animals have been proven to help seniors live longer. Animals help the hearing impaired, the blind, the deaf. As higher and superior beings it is our duty to care for lesser beings. They deserve our care, including medical. You can't just think, "I will not take my sick dog to the vet, I will let him suffer, because there are starving children in India". That does not make sense. You own the animal, you are responsible for that animal.

Anyone who would tie a dog to a leash and leave it in the back yard is CRUEL. I stand firm on that and will not sugar coat it for anyone. Dogs are social beings. How would you like to be islolated from everyone, in the cold, snow, heat, sun? Do you think Jesus approves of that behavior? It is not right for people to have to suffer. It is horrible. But if you own and animal you need to be responsible for it.

Now, as far as God and the Bible, in the last battle in heaven at end times,where the saints are battleing the devil, does the bible not talk about Christ riding a white horse? yes it does. Animals are innocent, but the are creatures of God. And they will be in heaven.

Luke, there are many people who feel as you do. They don't want dogs in their homes due to fur. (Animals that are properly housebroken, do not pee in the house). A person who resents animals that strongly should not have one. To keep it in the back yard is cruel. Now, you have a dilema because your wife loves the dogs. Your only answer to this solution, is for you to get over and accept the dogs,(if you really love your wife), or get a divorce. Anything else, will never solve the problem, because if you make your wife get rid of her dogs or you mistreat the dogs, your wife will deeply resent you,. That may sound like a hard lesson, but I at least have the courage to give it to you straight.

PS. You can say "I want "her" out" on any site you want to. It does not bother me. I am a real Christian and I forgave you a while back. I hope that you can get over your feelings of hatred, for whatever reason, because they are not good for your stomach (ulcers) or your soul. I mean this sincerely. I do hope you will feel better. And I wish you the best of luck with the dog situation. I will add you to my prayers.

Now, can we please turn this thread back to what it was intended for? Happy, funny, spoofs of animals?
TO LUKE:
Modified 30 minutes later: Divorce is not the answer, God doesn't want anyone to divorce over dogs. It would be contrary to Biblical teachings. Your only choice, Luke, is to accept your wifes love for her dogs. If you don't, resentment will follow. Some compromise on her part would be necessary but, for the most part, the most healthy thing for you and your marriage would be to accept her dogs. Maybe you could confine them to one room like a family room when they are in the house. You could put covers on the furniture in the family room so you would't have to worry about shedding. Maybe you could buy dog beds and put them on the floor of the bedroom? And the very best advice I can give.- Both you and your wife (together) enroll and participate in a dog obedience class with your dogs. You can have a dog (or 2 dogs) that behave like that dog in the park. I would suggest a beginners class (it takes homework to accomplish it). then after the dogs master that, I would suggest an intermediate class. Both you and your wife will be happy with the results. Do not beat your dog into submission. You don't even have to yell. But you and your wife will learn how to convey to your dogs that you are the master. Give it a try

Thanks Bong. I think its been around for a while. But it is so enjoyable, especially if you are a dog lover (which I am). Dogs really do understand a lot of English. Some studies done recently suggest that dogs, like children, learn our language over time and are capable of understanding the vocabulary equivalent of a 5 year old. So, I imagine, if they had the ability to talk, this little video would be a realistic demonstration of what communication with our dogs would be like. Sometimes I can tell what snook-ums and scooter are thinking just by the expressions on their faces and their body language! lol. Thanks for posting, Bong!

Hammerspur, I agree with you. Those guys look very ruff! lol

jr what about a 250 cc engine. Is it ac or dc:? I thought it was ac.

Bong, I graduated too. I must be the second one!

Thanks M/c. for the address. I will donate to the cause. I pray that God blesses PJ with a kidney real quickly. But pj will have post op recovery and be unable to work for a while so even after his surgery he is going to need help financially, physically, and emotionally.

Wow, that is wonderful that your grandson is doing so well at football. (It must be all those healthy vegatables that you are feeding him)! Grandchildren are such a joy. I am so glad that you and your wife had the space and enough love to take those sweet children in. I know one thing- they will get a good upbringing with you. (God works in mysterious ways).
