Pet Pig ????!!!! Eisboch Yeah. We got him as a frostbitten, tiny piglet. We raised him in the house, feeding him from a bottle until he got old enough to eat on his own. He was a great pet, would jump on the couch, sit in my lap, beg to be petted, just like a dog. However, they grow up and get heavy. When it jumped on the couch and put its hoof through the cushion, it got banned from the couch. Once it hit about 250lbs, it didn't fit on my lap anymore. It went to the butcher shop, Neither my mother nor my younger brothers would eat bacon unless they saw it come out of the store package! Did you see Porky's picture? Cute little guy, huh? -- John H.

Being raised on a farm gives one a different perspective on farm animals as pets. I had a pet calf, Mayflower. But, eventually Mayflower also got butchered. Also a sad time.

Dogs get get along very easily with 3 legs, the can do walk, run, go up and down stairs without any problem, unless he had other health issues, I would never put him to sleep due to amputation.

He's a very smart fellow, very skilled at evasion, and there's no doubt in my mind he'll do whatever he can to overturn Roe v.

Dogs get get along very easily with 3 legs, the can do walk, run, go up and down stairs without any problem, unless he had other health issues, I would never put him to sleep due to amputation. -- Please take your obvious troll about dogs and euthanasia to the appropriate forum or NG. This is strictly a boating NG. This thread *is* boating related! -- John H. "Divide each difficulty into as many parts as is feasible and necessary to resolve it." Rene Descartes No it isn't. Don't get me wrong John, I have no problem with threads like this. But some folks here have redefined what is acceptable and unacceptable to post here. I just want to know what the new *rules* are and for them to remain consistent. I think, JimH, the desire is to have a news group without the acrimony, ascerbity, and asperity that existed here a few short weeks ago. That concept is not hard to understand. Anyone with more than a week's worth of watching a month ago knows that the political threads almost invariably resulted in the behavior mentioned above. Photography threads have yet to do so, nor have 'pet' threads (until today, of course). Perhaps you and Harry would be happier in a.politics? -- John H. "Divide each difficulty into as many parts as is feasible and necessary to resolve it." Rene Descartes I have not posted anything regarding politics here for quite some time. Why do you make that comment to me John rather than addressing the issue I brought up........remaining consistent on what is acceptable and unacceptable to post here. The first two paragraphs addressed your comment new 'rules'. -- John H. "Divide each difficulty into as many parts as is feasible and necessary to resolve it." Rene Descartes I think you should be able post what you want to in an un-moderated NG without being netcopped. If folks want to participate in the thread they have that option. If folks do not want to participate in the thread they have that option also. What is upsetting some folks, including me, are the self appointed netcops deciding what is appropriate or not appropriate to post here. I know I may have been in that group late last month and realize now that it was wrong. What everyone should be focused on is stopping the name calling and flames rather than deciding what can and cannot be posted here and telling folks where to post it. That alone will make this NG a pleasure to visit. |

We raised him in the house, feeding him from a bottle until he got old enough to eat on his own. He was a great pet, would jump on the couch, sit in my lap, beg to be petted, just like a dog. However, they grow up and get heavy. When it jumped on the couch and put its hoof through the cushion, it got banned from the couch. Once it hit about 250lbs, it didn't fit on my lap anymore. It went to the butcher shop, Neither my mother nor my younger brothers would eat bacon unless they saw it come out of the store package! Did you see Porky's picture? Cute little guy, huh? -- John H. "Divide each difficulty into as many parts as is feasible and necessary to resolve it." Rene Descartes You ate your pet! The same thought crossed my mind when I read John's post. How can you eat an animal you raised and loved as a pet? Hunger. -- John H. "Divide each difficulty into as many parts as is feasible and necessary to resolve it." Rene Descartes Thanks. I don't question your circumstances at the time John, I just would have a very hard time doing it. That's the difference between those 'country boys' and us 'city folk'. Here's another quandary. One of our dogs, the bearded collie, had a nerve sheath tumor just above the left front paw. We had it removed a couple weeks ago. It will reoccur, and eventually require the amputation of the foreleg, at least. I would prefer putting the dog to sleep as opposed to amputating the foreleg. My wife would prefer amputation. What to do.... Dogs get get along very easily with 3 legs, the can do walk, run, go up and down stairs without any problem, unless he had other health issues, I would never put him to sleep due to amputation. That's the wife's approach. Before they get to that point, however, they *must* go through a painful and difficult learning process, no? No, the pain from the operation is minimized from painkillers. Walking without a leg is very easy for them. -- Reggie ************************************************** ********************* If you would like to make rec.boats an enjoyable place to discuss boating, please do not respond to the political and inflammatory off- topic posts and flames. ************************************************** ********************* |
