    transformers the ride. now open..

    It is like a car kinda, similar to toystory. Instead of shooting, it is a bunch of rooms that you are "driven" into and there is lots of big "movie screens" with 3-D transformers. You are taken on a track where you are spun, driven and jerked around. It is a dark ride that is combo ride and...

    Buying a puppy online???

    Agreed, some can be and were rehabbed, however there are still several at living out the rest of their lives in a sanctuary as they simply are not adoptable into a family setting. Unfortunatly there are way way way to many Pits and to few people raising them correctly and even less people able...

    Buying a puppy online???

    In the photo of the animals, I have seen much worse. In the cages I see a Carin Terrier, several Chi's, a poodle and what appears to be a "designer rare white" pom. See the cute pup in the bottom cage....looks like a cutie, probably will net someone at least $500. I don't think I am...

    Buying a puppy online???

    I am sorry...that makes me so sad that a family would be denied a pet simply because they have young children and no other reason. That is so unnecessary. There are many wonderful pets that need a home that would be great with a child. I know many municipal animal controls that have zero...

    Buying a puppy online???

    As a rescuer, my first response is always, check your local shelter and it will remain my mantra. Regarding breeders. There are good and bad with any industry. However in the pet industry it is unfortunate that the number of bad breeders far outweighs the good breeders. And the ones that...

    What in the world is happening with all the fridge swaps???

    We participated in a fridge swap a few years ago and it was a positive experience for us that did not involve storage or bell hops or embarassment or smelly fridges or anything like that. I swapped with another disboard person her last night/my first night, they were very nice. Fridge was...

    Big Lots--value or junk?

    we purchased our couch there last year. We have three dogs, 3 cats and two kids. I figured why spend a ton when the kids and animals will wreck it up. Paid 250.00 (had a coupon for 20% off). Well a year later the couch still looks brand new, is comfortable and I am extremely happy with it...

    What age do they start behavior testing?? UPDATE post 45

    First of all here is a gigantic hug.:love: Take time out for yourself, because if you are stressed you are no good to anyone. A lot of what you describe and what others are describing, I can absolutely relate to. My daughter (9) is very strong willed, sensitive and can throw a tantrum...

    YIKES!-Salvation Army prices

    I also have noticed an increase in prices at the local "chain" thrift stores. I thought the mission was to of course raise money but just as equally important give an outlet for people to purchase reasonably priced items. Drives me nuts.....this stuff was free to them, why do they have to...

    Over $250 Vet Bill!

    I am sorry.....anyway you say it....$49 for just the rabies vaccine is a gross overcharge. That same vaccine will run you 8-10 bucks at your local Animal Control facilty. Most areas have low cost rabies days where you can get vaccines at a much more reasonable price. I am all for good vet...

    Am I a bad mommy if..

    You sound like a wonderful pet parent. I do animal rescue and franlky the post suggesting that you "put up for adoption" your beloved pets just because life is a little stressful right now really does not sit well with me. There are not homes lined up to take in 5 year old dogs and even less...
