What is a belly band and what do you use it for?
Are these pugs related to the pug that was oin the Men in Black movies with Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith? Just a different color?

You have to read this if you love dogs
Some years ago my mom's darling Westie, who was like my own, was taking a little nap downstaris in the rec room on the sofa. My stepfather got the upright vacuum cleaner out and plugged it in and began cleaning. Molly got up from the sofa and ran to a little bear that was given to her some years before (nothing left of it now but a shell of itself with all the stuffing pulled out) and dashed to the doggie door. I heard the click of the door and saw she had taken her baby out to safey and placed in on the patio. Just as quickly she came through the doggie door and back up on the sofa and continued the nap. God love her. How I miss her. 
I'm a dog lover, and most dogs love me. - sm
I can be walking down the street, simply make eye contact with one and smile without saying a word, and the dog will usually rush up to me, wagging his tail like crazy and acting all silly and lovey-dovey.
In the past, some of the absolute sweetest dogs I'd ever known were pits & rotties. But that was in the ྌs, before the big 'gangsta-dog' thing became popular. Then people started breeding these dogs more for a surly attitude than for good temperament, and it seems to be a dominant trait that's getting passed forward, even when unintended.
So fast-forard to 2 weeks ago. I was out walking in my neighborhood, and was coming up a long flight of sidewalk stairs that go up the steep hill I live on. Halfway up, I saw a big brown pit bull standing there looking at me. I had seen him running loose on my street earlier in the day, and wondered whose he was, but then forgot about him.
He had an aggressive body-language that I didn't like. But I'm not afraid of dogs, and continuned on up the steps, and talked to him nicely as I reached the top. But then the dog totally went off, and began barking, growling, and making charges at me.
I knew to stand my ground, and first tried sweet-talking him. Didn't work. If I tried to slowly move away from him in any direction, he'd come around and try to come in at me from behind. There wasn't a soul around.
I tried scaring him off, but that only exacerbated the problem, so I decided to just stand there and let him do his thing. 20 minutes later, he was just as aggressive as ever, maybe worse, because his charges were coming closer and closer. The only 'weapon' in my possession was a single can of cat food in a plastic bag, that I'd walked down the hill to the market to buy. Considered whacking him with it, but didn't want to be in that close to him.
Turns out the owners were in an apartment right across the street. A couple finally came out and called off the dog, stating "Oh, we didn't know he was out." (I doubt that - the dog had been out all afternoon.)
Anyway, I told them I'd call the sheriff and/or animal control if I ever saw him out again. When I got home, I called animal control anyway, and filed a formal complaint, so that if he bit anyone in the future, there would already be a complaint against him, and he likely would not be released from the shelter. Animal control said they'd follow up with the owner, which hopefully they did.
In the meantime, I did 2 things: I programmed the sheriff's phone numberinto my cellphone, which I now slip into my pocket whenever I go out for a walk. Good thing to do, anyway. The other thing is I went to Army-Navy Surplus, and bought a cannister of professional-grade pepper spray. Not the wimpy, .02% 'dog-repellent'. I doubt that would stop a pitbull. I got the 15% stuff that will bring a 200-pound, raging crack-addict to his knees and keep him there for more than an hour. That goes into my pocket, as well. Now I can walk & bike with peace of mind.
Meanwhile, those pitbull owners should consider themselves very lucky that their dog went after someone who knows dogs, is not afraid, and didn't RUN. If a timid woman, or worse, a child, had come up those steps that afternoon, the resulting attack might have made the 6 o'clock news that night.
There are probably still some gentle pits left out there, but I think their numbers are declining because of the current fashion statement of being a 'big bad gangsta, with my big, bad gansta-dog'. They want their dogs to intimidate people, and then they wonder why they can't rent an apartment or get homeowners insurance to cover dog bites. In some cities you have to post a $30,000 bond in order to keep one. It's little wonder that unwanted pits and pit-mixes are clogging up our animal shelters. I feel sorry for the animals, but if I were adopting, I wouldn't want the financial liability of owning one.
Aww! I just love dogs. Any kind.
The one on the right looks like she/he is smiling.
"We love dogs" got cut off
...
Way too cute. Why we love working from home. nm
I LOVE Wilson. I wish I had a best friend that cute!
I don't like the "I see dead people" storyline, there was enough of that ridiculousness on Gray's Anatomy.
That's so cute! Love the code purple and the medicinal use

Shelties or Australian Sheep Dogs are great family dogs. rm

These dogs appear to be puppy mill producing dogs.
The two females, which I thought were older, appear to be just worn out/depleted. Their teeth are those of a 3-5 year old dog. So, I do believe they have had litters each cycle and are suffering from malnourishment.
Funny thing, yesterday, they were covered with mud (it rained and they were digging) and this morning, I look out and see they have all been grooming as they are clean.
Called Love of Animals who has committed to spaying/neutering the animals, giving them their shots, flea repellant and showing them at Pets Mart on Sundays. In a few months, there will be a regional dog show at the local college where on average 150 dogs are adopted out and she asked that I keep them until then.
Which I will...And a girl saw the ad for the Lost Pets and is looking for a replacement for her Shi Tzu she lost a year ago and will come by tomorrow morning.
I have my dogs on it, and yes all my past dogs but 2 have died -sm
from cancer. But I had 2 schipperkes on Frontline for years and one died at 13 from cancer, the other at 16 just from old age/kidney failure. My last husky was 8 when she died from cancer, but I have had one die at 2 (unknown causes), and another at 9.5 from liver cancer (she actually made a nice recovery but succumbed about 6 months later), but huskies don't tend to live past 10 unfortunately. I have had purebreeds and mutts, and with or w/o Frontline/Advantage they have all died from cancer. I suppose it is possible that it causes it, but if you live long enough, cancer will most likely be your cause of death, anything and everything causes cancer anymore. I hate fleas and ticks and we have lots of them, so the dogs get the Frontline except in the cold winter months. They are 6 and 3 and both doing quite well.
my dogs are basically indoor dogs sm
but have a doggie door to go in and out as they please. Sometimes our Jack Russell gets excited and barks inside the house. My DH grabs is belt and snaps it and the loud noise shuts her up right away. I am not trying to frighten our dog, but many times just saying knock it off doesn't work.
I LOVE love love shallots! I use them in everything that calls for an onion and/or garlic. Mmmmmm. n

God bless you on your path, all love begins with self-love, so you are really on your way.....sm
We should have less time putting needless labels on things, paying attention to dividing lines, and pratice more love, understanding, and humiility....we will all have things to answer for, no one is perfect, but I believe we are all precious and loved by the Lord, who knows all hearts, and has infinitely more compassion and mercy than ANY of us can comprehend. Be happy and take care of yourself, sexuality is such a small part of who we are in this world, but you have to be happy and at peace.
How cute is that?
 Once again, out of the mouths of babes!
these are cute!
I have a brother that would have been good for doing such things. He use to try to scare my mom too. one time he had a halloween tape and called her up (mind you he was just upstairs in his bedroom) from his phone and play some pranks. in the beginning she believed these were real callers!
That is just too cute! sm
My little guy barks like mad and runs and takes the toy, then hides it. My big guy likes to tear them up.

You are just too cute!
Check out my new one! I don't do very well with pies either, but I sure can bake a birthday cake! I love the beach! My husband and I plan to retire there just as soon as we get these children through high school! So, my daughter decides (she's 7 now), that she is just going to retire with us after high school! Yeah, right! No way, Jose, you're going to college girl! LOL, LOL
No not cute, but certainly not an act
problems. You can teach your child to have manners, but the original post was in regards to a "school" rule that the child would be taken away from the general population and "punished". I just think there are much more that we could focus on than a natural process of the bodily functions. Just say excuse me, and move on. Whoever is making the big deal about the actual act is "the problem" and not too cute. I do not agree with you there. I do not laugh or make a big deal about it, I just move on. I still don't believe a child that passes gas should be sent to detention unless they are being obnoxious. I will tell you though that because my child had a "track record", he got blamed for every incident as if no other child in the class was guilty, and it really kind of ticked me off that my son was being accused, when they really had no proof at all.
how cute!!
bet they were darling...little pit puppies in coats. Mine is black lab/pit mix and she is a rescue, from southern California. We are now in the Tahoe area and she cannot stand the cold (but loves to play in the snow - go figure). She needs a coat and mittens and boots but I could never convince her. Whenever it gets above 55 degrees out, she finds a spot of sun in the backyard and lays out soaking up the rays, probably dreaming of those warm California days gone by.
How cute -
the comedian I saw on Comedy Central who said he found his 6-year-old nephew yelling at his Easter basket. When asked what he was doing, the boy replied, * I'm giving a shout out to my peeps *
How cute! Thanks! nm

How cute is that?!
Oh my word that is ADORABLE!! I can never get pictures to work
though--somehow a quotation mark always winds up in there that I don't put
in. I looked at the html code too and I don't see them, yet when I try it,
some reason they get put in there. Very frustrating....one last try then I
give up.

How cute is that?
Looks like he has his nails done. Cute!
Cute :)
I haven't done that, but now I think I will!
Sometimes when my husband calls me from his cell phone I make him talk to the cats and their ears perk up when they hear his voice! Only when he calls from inside his car of course, not in public or anything like that! It amazes me that he even does it. He's a big mush like me with the animals.
LOL
That should be cute
that is how my auto correct kicks in, make cute to acute.
he's cute!!
Oh my gosh he is so sweet! He looks totally comfortable in your house! What an awesome dog! Pet him for me would you?
Jan :)

I love the new picture feature.
Oh how CUTE! nm

Oh, he's too cute!
What a sweetie. Good luck with him. My neighbors have a Yorkie, but not a teacup and he's so spunky and adorable.
How cute.
You'll want to keep her on the lean side anyway to optimize her breathing.
Good for you for adopting her.
Now that is just too cute!

Too cute!
My recently adopted kitty, Tinkerbell, loves attacking my feet when I get in bed. Does she care that I'm tired and want to sleep? Nooooooo, because it's all about Tinky! 
Too cute. In the the toy box just like a kid, LOL. nm
