Videos like this, plus the value of a loud early-warning system with excellent hearing, finally prompted me to get another dog. We had a pretty good lab/rottweiler/ mix many years ago. She was a very affectionate dog, but wild and crazy. She ate EVERYTHING, and I don't mean she chewed up shoes and furniture. She freaking ate an S.O.S. pad (the kind with lye soap inside it). She was - amazingly - fine, but it made a horrible fucking mess of liquidized dog shit everywhere. Honestly, like over a gallon. Then there was the day she swallowed about half a yellow "Nylobone." We didn't see her down that, but spent the next 4 days sure she was dying. Vet could not figure out what was going on, because nylon does not show up in an X-ray image. He was talking about thousand-dolled + exploratory surgery. As I was getting ready to have her put down, she vomited a large yellow stick in the front yard. After the hundreds of dollars on food and healthcare for that dog, I vowed to never have one again. of course the kids and my wife did. After watching the world start to descend into a Yugoslav-like state, a medium sized dog sounds like a better idea. -Just A Chemist
Anyone who thinks dogs don't go to Heaven has never been loved by one.

Any body who wants to hurt that kid will have to deal with 100 pounds of fur and fang first. That's a good thing.
