rahja, you took the words right out of my mouth. THANK you!

it must be the nurse thing. im a nursing student….

I saw one of these bones for sale at Publix in the meat section. It’s actually a very large bone, nearly the size of a human femur bone. Wow, that’s a scary thought.

It is amazing that a zoologist who brags about their knowledge about one type of animal when knowingly most zoologists couldn’t possibly specialize in ALL animals, namely the idea that zoologists mostly get a tidbit when it comes to domesticated animals in their education.

With that, allow me to educate you. The Chihuahua was not actually found until the 1850′s and originally thought to be a direct decedent to the Chinese crested. That has since been proven inaccurate. However, just would like to point out that in the 1850′s it was more than likely that the dog breed itself is much older than 158 years old and considering we ALL know how far our scientific knowledge has come since then there was NO WAY that they would have known that this particular breed would have the consistent problems of seizures, hypoglycemia and hydrocephalus, just to name a few. However, should you wish to argue the point, then we could also use the Great Dane as a breed that ‘shouldn’t have ever been breed’ because of their poor health conditions and short life expectancy. Or possibly the idea that a family shouldn’t breed just because there is a history diabetes, polycystic fibrosis or epilepsy (all diseases that COULD be passed on).

What you are doing is just antagonizing and it seems to me that is the reason you work with animals, because you don’t have the social graces that you should have been brought up with in order to at least have the common decency to know if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all. But then again, if you didn’t like where you were living, then maybe you should relocate, because I for one believe that American’s were given the right to free speech for a reason…just use it properly and you will gain more respect than some degree. You can be as book smart as you want, but if you don’t have the common sense to look both way’s before crossing the street, it doesn’t do you a bit of good.

btw: My credentials don’t really matter, but I am an Ex Registered Nurse and have worked for over 30 years in Veterinarian Science.

varenoea.

It’s comments like yours that are the entire reason I tend to avoid the comments section for the most part.

Could you TRY to be nice? Please? Lose the snarky attitude? That would totally rock and put an end to the Anti-Cute vibe that none of us want.

Aaaw. Little Malice Alice has a problem with my spelling. Well, not everybody is born in the Great States Of Ameria. There are, believe it or not, other parts of the world. Deal with non-native speakers, or put a star-spangled blanket over your head.

Apart from this – there is no way that a puppy can be an accident if it belongs to a race that is bred to be unnatural. I suggest you get your head into the matter. I’m a zoologist, but what are you?

Is there chihuahua in the pudding? ’cause I’m against that!

I don’t find this “sad” any more than I find the “disabled” people I work with “sad”, though sometimes it’s f**ked the way “normal” people treat them.

This little puppeh has a life to live and I’m sure she’s getting on with it and tackling the big bones and doesn’t need anyone to feel sorry for her.
