Things that make you go hmmm? or WTF?

Someone I was talking with mentioned some other person who had gotten "their dogs" from puppy mills. I had to bite my tongue not to point out that they had also recently gotten a dog from one of the people the other person had. My mama used to say if you can't say something nice be quiet, at least people will think you are nicer. "nuff" said.

Such Furor

My God you would think we were sacrificing virgins on Main Street to read the heated posts that have erupted since ASFA accepted Silken Windhounds to run in Limited Stakes ( an exhibition only status stake) . Sure they did start out as Borzoi crossed to small lurchers but 5 generations later of DNA typing and breeding one to the other you would think that this would be a moot point. No one is trying to replace any breed with them, no one is saying they are an ancient breed, only that hey we'd like to bring them out and pay the money and let them run and then go home with them. Other than breeding type to type and DNAing every single dog used in breeding, I cannot imagine what other requirements would really be needed to insure a registry is "secure". If I were a drinker, I think I'd be doing that.

vent, Vent, VENT!!!!!

I read dumb people. If I want to stop I'll have to get off most of the dog lists. Did you know that it is almost a federal offense to have a dog listed somewhere for sale? Good thing I warned you.
There are cyberstalkers out there not interested in buying a dog just surfing the web all the time to look for that most dreaded lowlife scumbag, that's right THE PERSON WHO HAS A BALKAN ANTEATER HOUND FOR SALE IN A NEWSPAPER OR INTERNET AD. These dogsellers must be stopped and harassed at all costs. Post their ads on lists with hundreds of members and imply that there must be something horribly amiss here if a Balkan Anteater Hound is for sale. Such atrocities cannot be tolerated in this PETA/HSUS loving society.
Apparently those cyberstalkers know of other ways to acquire a Balkan Anteater hound than to buy it from a breeder or someone else who has one. I can't help but wonder does Santa (or the Tooth Fairy) deliver puppies to them. Do they just find their Balkan Anteater Hounds running loose in a neighborhood and adopt them? Do the puppies spontaneously appear like they used to think maggots appeared on decaying meat? Of course I'm curious because it has never worked like this for me.
So all you disreputable people out there thinking you should advertise your puppies SHAME ON YOU, you are a national disgrace and should be put in stockades and publicly whipped for selling a dog.
Now in a couple of months there will be a plethora of people posting on lists that they cannot find a Balkan Anteater Hound, they are never advertised, they must be so rare, how is a person to find them. I promise you there will be.
The US sure has fallen for the PETA/HSUS rhetoric hook, line and sinker.
