Another thing many renters don't know is this: A security deposit does not belong to the landlord and it must be held in trust for the tenant. The security deposit should be held in escrow in an interest bearing account. Interest should either be paid to the tenant quarterly, or may be allowed to r...

UPDATE: Day one in the play pen... no poop, no pee... perfect! Day 2... no poop... no pee... but escaped the pen... Dang it... smart dog this one... Now a question. Would putting a tarp on top of the play pen be a bad idea? How about leaving him in his crate instead of the play pen? He hasn't peed ...

Christianity was never meant to be done alone. It a communal faith. What about in the Bible when it says you should hide yourself in prayer. Prayer seems to be the most intimate experiences with God. There is nothing more annoying to me than sports players that pray after scoring or after winning a...

Several comments I would like to make: To be completely honest, I've always been a bit envious of people with undying faith. I wish I did. I wish I could look at all the people in my life that I love and say I know 100% that we'll be together for eternity. I don't know a single person that wouldn't ...

DogNewbie, First I want to say that if you ever come to Ft. Worth, TX you give me a call. We'll go have a couple of brewskis and have a GREAT conversation. Although I disagree with your definition of being a Christian I appreciate your ability to see both sides of the argument. I have many friends t...

Nothing really has a role to play or a part to fill. Value and meaning are man made. People keep searching for "meaning" and it doesn't exist. We are no more special than a rock. More complex, more ineteresting yes, we have done some cool stuff. People value different things differently and since i...

You have made your point quite clear. We understand that. We dont want this to turn into a religious arguement. It will do nothing but make people mad. We can all respect each others opinions. We do not all have to agree.

You had the right to do the cleaning yourself if the landlord had an issue. I would argue to the judge you were never informed or asked to do the cleaning. Tell the landlord you are going to take him to court and require him to bring the receipts for the cleaning he ordered. He may want to settle w...

So my wife and I just received a letter from our previous landlord that because I violated the lease by keeping two quail or chukars in a small pigeon trap on our deck, that he is using our security deposit to rent a power washer and then reseal the deck for sanitation reasons. I guess violated the...

How tall was your pen?

The way I see it is this: You do your research before you buy a dog, not after the dog you bought shows some issues. I can say that because I did my research. You research what is important to you. The whole time I was asking questions before I got my pup everyone told me "look for a breeding pair t...

Proudag, Does the pup spend anytime in front of either your AC or heater vent? Mine loves the heat and gets dried out in the winter time and has some dandruff. I just use baby wash when bathing my pup, but for what its worth, I think we have bathed her maybe 4-5 times since we brought her home. -Jo...

Thanks for the replies all! Some more questions I have: 1. How long is too long to walk a puppy? I want to see if I can get in a routine as soon as I can. In a perfect world it looks like this: Come home, let him out, help cook dinner, put him up, eat, go for a walk, watch tv/ do chores while he chi...

Since we are on this topic, you say you run your guys every other day or so... how long each day? Do you run with them and they are heeling or are they just freerunning?

Isn't this the same argument that the Occupy Wall Street crowd uses to try and make their point for financial reform? In a sense they present themselves in a manner that says, change the sytem and measurements (in this case financial, legal and social) so that it fits what suits me with no effort o...

I was told that feeding puppy food for too long MAY cause them to grow too fast and cause joint damage later on... Maybe its time for the change anyway...

Most of us are just what you describe, maybe some of us hunt more but my 5 hunting dogs and 1 mutt are all in the house. :!: :!: :!: :!: 6 dogs in your house?!?!?!?!?

So this morning I was talking to my wife about the arguement here and I thought I would let you guys in on her take. Keep in mind that she is a 1st grade teacher and knows only the basics of bird hunting. Here is her take: I think style should be more important. (**insert my suprised look because my...

There is nothing wrong with getting a started dog. IMO there is nothing wrong with having a dog that can live with you in the house and hunt their butt off for you in the field. There are many dogs that are sadly being surrendered by their owners due to economic downturn. Usually a quality breeder ...

I'm in Ft Worth actually. And yes I had planned on stopping somewhere else, other than a rest stop or gas station to let him out to do his thing. And the vet is a long time family friend. I'm sure the chip wont be too expensive.

proudag08

Thanks guys, he is going to the vet Friday. Is there anything I should ask the vet to give him before we leave?
