Well I think it will be fine. If she gets caught doing something bad then she'll face punishment. But there was nothing else you really could do,you took all precautions and tried to do the best you could for the dog. So good job! i'm an animal lover and i'm glad you didn't just let it go on the streets :] 3 years ago 1 person rated this as good thanks =] I send her serveral email and she say i can visit the chihuahua anytime i want. And she promise she will treat her good.

Help In Choosing a Dog Breed? Mastiff?
- Chosen by Voters I agree about the German Shepherd option. My husband's family own shepherds: she had a lot of training, and is better with other dogs than mine (who is a small, friendly, push over). She is also excellent with cats. And children. And adults… just barks incessantly (because they are built as alarms).As long as you get a dog that is used to cats, or you get one as a puppy, it should get along with the cats fine. Getting your cats to be okay with the dog, however, is a different story.Personally: I think a boxer sounds like a good idea. They are super friendly animals, very loyal, and very obedient. They do resemble a pit bull- to the untrained eye- so that could deter anyone from testing your home's boundaries.Try to stay away from hound dogs (beagles, coonhounds, greyhound, dachshund)- they don't mesh as well with other species- as they are bred to hunt them. Obviously with exposure and training, they might be fine; this all depends on the dog, but I also believe that hounds are more independent and are HARDER to train.We had a Katahoula shepherd dog x australian shepherd. The aussie made her super friendly, the katahoula made her loyal and protective. Aussies can be protective, too.. it just depends on the individual animal. They do take a lot of exercise, though…Mastiffs are huge. I wouldn't get one, as they cost a lost of money, won't live as long, are a lot to handle… and I've seen some that aren't friendly with other dogs. They are also hard to travel with, to babysit, to move, to care for… But if you REALLY love one… then get it.Any dog that you get that is larger and black will look more intimidating- which is why German Shepherds are super intimidating (black face). Dobermans are good, too- very companion-oriented. Should be fine with cats if you integrate them as a puppy- and go through extensive training. (Shepherd, too.)I personally… want a dog that doesn't shed. Actually, a standard poodle (the larger breed) are excellent dogs. They are brilliant, loyal, and have the right balance of friendly and protective. I would look into one of those. Mutts are my favorite… your best bet is to look through craiglist or the humane society… I don't trust pitbulls, but you never know. You could find a dog that is known to be very protective, mixed with a friendly dog… and I say you have the best bet.Friendly: lab, golden retriever, boxer, beagle, australian shepherd, …Protective: pitbull, german shepherd, rottweiler, doberman, american bulldog…Don't shed: poodle, schnauzer, cocker spaniel, shitsu…All around… there are so many breeds… it is really hard to to make a final decision, because it also depends on the individual dog… I am looking for one like this, too. But the dogs that are protective and good with other dogs (that I know of) are generally Dobermans and Germans. Again, it just depends.I must admit, though; I did walk our German Shepherd to the market at dark, through a bad neighborhood, one day… and NO ONE approached us. In fact, the stepped away from our path and let us walk by. She's a great dog. I want a German Shepherd because of that. Also, they can work as help dogs with the right training… and can go anywhere.

Zoos: captivity or protection?
- Chosen by Voters It is captivity, obviously. The very definition of a zoo is captive animals.Protection.. that i am not sure about. They are an attraction, that's it. I am not aware of any zoos that participate in a re-introduction programs back to the wild for any animals. If they are waiting for the animals to go extinct before doing this then it is pretty much pointless as by that point the inbreeding will have had a detrimental effect on the captive populations.They should be doing it now, whilst the genepool is strong and will not contaminate the wild populations.Some animals SHOULD be allowed to go extinct. If we have played a large part in the extinction or endangerment of an animal then i think we bear the responsibility to do what is possible. However, if an animal refuses to go along with nature and will not breed well in captivity, then we have no choice to let it go.Pandas for example.. their teeth and biology dictate that they should be meat eaters.. if they were then their habitat would be expanded greatly allowing them a huge chance of survival. But they haven't adapted to their environment. Too much money is spent on their conservation that could and should be used elsewhere.Your dad is right in a way, we should try and make the extinction of animals occur less but leave it up to mother nature to decide what goes and what doesn't.Tigers are on their way out, as much as i hate that. We should be ending the cruelty and their murder for medicine by horsesh!t, voodoo peddlers. I feel it has gone too far now, there are more tigers in captivity than in the wild.. what does that tell you..They haven't changed and they haven't refused to adapt.. We have been purposely putting them into extinction and when they go, we will not have anyone to blame but ourselves.They will exist in captivity and controlled safaris, but that is it. They will be classed as 'extinct in the wild'.. an entire species of tiger was declared extinct in China just a few weeks ago.The resources to conserve tigers in the wild to a sustainable level just aren't there and the fact is, they are worth more dead than alive.Real projects to conserve animals are where the money and time and effort should be focused. Zoos are just entertainment, nothing more.''Let them go gracefully. Leave nature alone. Haven't we done enough?''Someone said that about the pandas.. i think it refers to most endangered animals today. 2 years ago 75% 3 Votes 1 person rated this as good

Does this sound like a survival story to put in a survivors article for pets?
- Chosen by Voters Well for one thing, "pit bull" is not a breed, it's a type, so I would go for a specific breed if I were you. I would submit it if you want to, it's your choice. It's a good story. 2 years ago 100% 1 Vote

How Does Global Warming Function
It runs shivers down the spine to believe of our globe a couple of decades from now. Day-to-day variations in climate, summers drier than prior to, and winters chillier than ever – as considerably as you and me need to neglect these facts, the truth is, they’re extremely considerably a portion of our lives. We take these adjustments for granted, but in reality, we and our future generations are going to have a difficult time combating them. Global warming – it is no longer an emerging environmental problem. Actually, it really is quite a lot here, and is creating its presence felt in a myriad approaches, several of which, we’re ignoring. But think me, gone had been the days when ignorance was a bliss – right now, either we quit prattling about global warming and really do one thing about it, or we see our future generations blaming us, just like we do it at present, for the hard life they’re going to lead within the coming couple of decades. Harsh it’s, but understanding how does global warming function will assist us take initiatives in a much better way, and contribute, although just a little, to this gargantuan environmental problem. Let’s start with understanding what’s global warming.
Global Warming Explained
Simply put, global warming could be defined as an enhance within the typical temperature of the Earth consequently of natural calamities and man-made destructions. Even though natural causes may possibly incorporate volcanic eruptions, movement inside the tectonic plates, exploding of sunspots, or alter within the Orbit of the Earth, man-made destructions consist of: deforestation, installation of energy plants, burning fossil fuels and generation of poisonous gases. Greenhouse gases that happen naturally are held responsible for this enhance within the Earth’s climate, considering that the heat that’s to be radiated back into the atmosphere, in reality, gets trapped, therefore, leading to a sudden boost within the temperature. The following section explains in detail specifically how does global warming function towards disrupting the equilibrium of our blue planet, Earth.
Global Warming: How Does it Work
Much has been mentioned concerning the causes and effects of global warming. Even so, not significantly has been thoroughly discussed concerning the working of global warming, as in, how does it impact the atmosphere. To start with, for the reason that greenhouse impact will be the important trigger behind global warming, that is where the working mechanism of global warming might be understood from. When the gas concentration of the Earth’s shield is increased because of trapped gases, global temperature takes a hike, therefore, leading to global warming.
In addition, although weather analysts had a correct strategy of predicting weather patterns, for the reason that the temperature of Earth has increased, it has turn out to be an all of the far more challenging job to predict weather patterns now. Improve in temperature has led to violent storms, and has damaged a lot of coastal places of the globe.
Furthermore, the altering weather patterns consequently of global warming have led to flooding in some locations and drought in other people. This instability in weather has led towards the destruction of numerous locations, and has produced other people much more vulnerable to such calamities. Also, global warming works against the seasonal water cycles, thereby, leading to excess seasonal flows by melting the glaciers. However, because several places expertise increased temperature, the rivers in those locations dry up quickly, leading to water scarcity.
The working mechanism of global warming has left no facet of the Earth untouched. From risen temperatures to vegetation, from wildlife to natural entities, the effects of global warming have disrupted the equilibrium of life on Earth. Global warming works its way by sending heat waves that could trigger heat-related illnesses and deaths. Although it truly is nearly impossible to predict what’s the degree of destruction can global warming do towards the humankind, it can nonetheless be mentioned that global warming is going to take a toll on the global economy by damaging it vastly, if not entirely.
Before it is too late, each human on planet Earth really should take the responsibility of guiding other people with respect towards the pros and cons of global warming. Recycling, plantation of a lot more and a lot more trees, and decreasing carbon gas emissions could possibly be a number of the 1st couple of actions that every single individual in this globe can take for the purpose of contributing towards the wellness of our planet Earth. Global warming is huge, even so, even the littlest of contribution confirms hope inside all. On the side of contribution or destruction – you pick.

Do you think that television crews who devote themselves to filming wild animals….?
well, we humans are also animals, do you think they should intervene to save one of our lives or not? or just let nature take its course 4 years ago I agree with you dlinn333 because that is what I`m trying to get at.Non-interference for moral reasons is a falsity.We create National Parks,shoot animals with sedated darts,move them around for convenience,cull excessive numbers.Our presence with cameras is not natural,so why not show compassion?
