absolutely. your wife won't like the damage an uncontrolled dog can do. start with crate training right away. then send him off if that is your move. YT will have crate training vids. no it is not cruel. they are denning animals. if you can go to training with the dog. learn how to handle one. very satisfying if you have the time.I need some advice. I adopted a lab pup around Christmas. He is 8 months old and is already 70 plus pounds. He is a handful and smart. I don’t know shit about training a dog properly. My wife about shits when I talk about sending him off for some basic training. I think it’s necessary. Thoughts?
useful? can you imagine what we would have if we had applied the same techniques we used with dogs and horses? i mean like the Mendel/Carver things. how would you like 100lb Leopard for a security/protection critter? we missed their "potential" IMHO. my two are realized,not potential PsITA.And yet they don't kill us... Because until they evolve opposed thumbs, they can't operate a can opener or get into the food closet!
Though General Sherman opens doors with no problem. Little bastard. He also stole the key to my gun cabinet and 'lost' it under a carpet. It took me a month to find it. Literally pulled it out of the lock and buggered off with it.
Studies also show that cats love us... so must be a love-hate thing. Which is why they are more interesting than dogs. If not as useful!

I had a cat named Cartimandua once. And of course, Caturix - the Celtic Helvetii war god - is a great name for a cat.So far Boudicca is afraid of him.
With spring and summer here… been a rash of people dumping off unwanted litters around the area. Kittens and puppies both.
Not bothering to take them to the shelter (paperwork and fees? Don’t know if shelter charges for surrenders of litters??) and leaving them in a parking lot or by the road?? That is lower than whale shit.
On the bright side…. This little guy adopted me on Tuesday. After a bath, a couple of days of quarantine away from the other cats and a vet check… he thinks he rules the house.
Meet General “Blackjack” Pershing. He has been stuck to me like glue and eating like a cavalry horse! He loves belly rubs!!

So far Boudicca is afraid of him. General Sherman is not happy. And Pouncy the old man who has been through this before… seems to be accepting him fine. Couple of weeks, they will all be sleeping in a pile together…
Baby kittens are so cute!!!

Can't find the Boo Boo lip emoji .@TheHorta
The whole concept pisses me off, and those who commit these acts are definitely less-then-human.
All y'all who rescue, my hat's off to y'all.
Just wanted to say, since seeing this picture 'some days ago' it still seems to be burned into the back of my head and I keep thinking of it. So many animals are worth so much more than too many humans.

Well… right on cue…
My wife and I walk 2.5 miles every day with our dogs, all eight of them, and always take the same route. This is when we find puppies and kittens that have been tossed out, 80% of the time they’re already dead, but 20% of the time they’re still alive. Well, yesterday morning my wife went walking alone because I was still in bed and didn’t feel like getting up. She had all eight dogs with her, and when she got about 2/3 of the way through the walk, she noticed the dogs had something in their mouth, a couple of dead kittens Just maybe 4 to 6 weeks old.
One kitten survived before they got to it and my wife could get control of the dogs.
Can you imagine just tossing this adorable little defenseless thing onto the street?
He’s the loveliest, cutest, friendliest little thing and immediately within the last 24 hours has taken over the house. Our other 13 cats aren’t big fans right now, but this is how it goes. Everyone of the other 13 started off the same way basically.

I have very unpleasant thoughts about people who can treat animals like this.
