Exactly. Not to bicker about whether or not we believe in souls. LOL Even people that believe that we have them still say "that person must not have a soul."

Brittlver

Ok guys lets not get into a religious fight here. This thread was to determine if a dog is considered property or not.

Brittlver

If a dog does not have a soul or feelings then how do we see situations like these. http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/08/26/a-dog-at-the-funeral-captured-on-video/ or this one http://www.examiner.com/tampa-top-news-in-tampa-bay/loyal-dog-china-makes-owner-s-grave-new-home-refuses-to-leave-video Dog...

Not a biblical scholar by any means but didnt God give man dominion over all the animals..............or something like that?

Brittlver

I love my dogs and they love me? I think they love me, sometimes tho I feel they hate me too...... can a dog have these feelings? heck no its all in my mind :) Some cultures do not treat dogs as pets. Native Americans for instance, they used em for garbage disposal, as pack animals to carry things ...

I think this landlord is looking for a way to put money in his pocket for the holidays. I hate landlords that are like this.

Brittlver

The only thing that I can think of that would be in a lease would be a phrase something like this. No pets allowed with out the prior approval from the landlord. He would then have to make an arguement that the quail were considered pets and would be tough to prove when you tell the judge that they ...

Brittlver

I don't know, rename the thead if you like. But the question came up as to whether a dog is MORE or less special that a person. In another thread it is jumping into animal rights's territory, but I will share my opinion. All life on this earth has value. Everything has a role to play, and a part to...

Brittlver

I can't tell you how much it ANGERS me to hear people say an animal is the same as a human!! but a child are you for real ?? :twisted: I think you guys are taking what I said wrong. I never said that they WERE equal to us I said that I can we say they are not. I am thinking totally Biological here....

Brittlver

Put her down. It almost brings me to tears to think about, but, I speak from experience when I tell you that you were lucky. when my daughter was 3 we were camping with my parents. Both of their dogs were there, family dogs that had known and been around my kids since my kids were born. Bubba was a...

Brittlver

I'm glad you put the photos on here,you just might get through to someone and save a child.A dog is an animal,not a human,too many people seem to forget that. I know what your saying and not trying to pick a fight but what makes us any more special then a dog. We are animals too so just because we ...

Brittlver

Take it to a trainer and let them take care of it. That is what they get paid for. If he/she says they can't fix it or it is a problem that won't stop then make the decision to put it down. Jesse I think you'd have a hard time finding any HONEST trainer that would tell you he could train a dog not ...

Brittlver

I personally think the dog could be trained. No one except the kids could really tell you what happened and what they say prob. won't be really what happened. We don't know if the dog meant to bite or if it was bite in the first place. Everyone saying that you need to put the dog down are wrong. It ...

Brittlver

Or you can just try your eye to close like I did. When I started shooting as a kid I was left eye dominant and Right handed. I trained my left eye to close when I wanted to. It is actually quite easy and should be done in a month or two of doing it. Just have to work the muscle in that eye to train ...

Brittlver

I just want to say a huge thanks to Al(Ezzy). Steph and I had a blast out there and I know Molly did too. Like I was telling Al over and over that I prob. made his ears bleed, LOL I don't care that I didn't shoot a bird, I just love being in the field with friends and family and now our wonderful do...

Brittlver

I have high hopes for Molly and like her breeding. I might in the future sometime breed her but am not sure yet. Hunter will be getting fixed in the next 2 months. I will be deciding on Molly by end of next summer.

Jesse

Brittlver

Thanks for the advice. I went ahead and brought them in. They will now be staying in the house for the next month and a half until I know for sure she is out of heat. Can't wait till he's fixed. LOL

Jesse

Brittlver

Molly is finally in heat at 13 months of age. I have my unfixed male dog "Hunter" kenneled with her. He is 5.5 months of age. Do I need to worry about those to getting together? I was told he is to young to fix right now. Should I bring them inside for the month and kennel them in there? Thanks for ...

Brittlver

That is the truth! And some sights you wish you could earse from your mond,like the couple that decided to have a romatic encounter 40 yards from my stand 5 years ago! I didnt know what to do! Now that is funny. To bad you didn't have a video camera. You could have showed them the footage and made ...

Brittlver

Heading up to Ashland tomorrow to pick up a lift for my truck. Thinking about taking molly with and doing some hunting. Anyone up for taking me out and getting me and my wife on some birds. Will be going up hwy 51.

Jesse

Brittlver

Sorry to hear about the accident. I don't know what I would do if my dog ever got injuried. Good thing for military training. It keeps us calm until things get taken care of. Don't worry to much about him being in the crate, its only for a short while and then before you know it he will be up and ru...

Brittlver

You should send a pm to me also. I would be interested in hearing it as well. I have a bark collar on my dog as well but don't like using it to much as it is rubbing her neck and causing it to become red. Stupid things. LOL

Brittlver

I just went out to denver and things went very smoothly with United. Did not have any problems with my luggage and they were on time. My luggage was waiting for me by the time I made it to the baggage claim.

Jesse

Brittlver

Me and Ezzy are planning a farm hunt soon if you want to tag along with us.

Brittlver

I wish I was out in the woods right now hunting. Need to find out if I got this job first before I get my license. If I don't then I will be heading up north to go get me some venison.

Brittlver

Don't have any good plans written up but I could get some made by Friday for you. I got some pictures as well.

Jesse

Brittlver

Ok, Got back from Denver. You guys are right it is beautiful out there. Found out that I would actually be working in Denver. No specific area but anywhere from Littleton to Thorton to airport to the mountains. I can live anywhere in this area. Is there any places that I should stay away from and wh...

Brittlver

Man this is the best week ever for me. I get a phone interview for this job, then the next day I pick up my new pup and on Tuesday I get a call telling me to be in Denver for a face to face interview. Now I get word that I won this contest. I can't even begin to show how happy I am now. Thanks to al...

Brittlver

Thanks AL. If I get this we might need to go hunting in the next couple weeks. They want the person to be out there by Mid Oct.

Jesse

Brittlver

Got a Face to Face interview now. I will be in Denver tomorrow evening. Who wants to meet up and show me around a little bit.

Jesse

Brittlver

Just wanted to give everyone an update. Will try to get a picture in the morning but he loves sleeping next to Molly. Going to get a homer out tomorrow and see if I can get him to point. We'll see how everything goes.

Jesse

Brittlver

Went out and played with the pup and Molly. Seems like his stomach has gone down a bit. Pretty soft now compared to yesterday. Thinking he is just a fat little thing and is in need of some exercise. LOL. He does love to sleep with molly and picking up her bark too.

Brittlver

Ok had a stool sample done and it came back negative. Could it be that he is just fat? He does have normal stools. What do you all think.

Brittlver

I'll call the vet tomorrow and see if I can get him in to a full look over. Will let you all know what I find. Hopefully we can pass this soon and get to training him.

Jesse

Brittlver

Ok, I just got our new pup and he is doing awesome. We did notice that his stomach is really big like he is full of gas/food. He does have bowel movements but doesn't seem to go down much. It feels a bit hard so think something is keeping him from releasing it all out. Any other explanations for thi...

Brittlver

No birds today. Hopefully I can make it up north soon. I really want to get molly on a bird.

Jesse

Brittlver

No birds yesterday but will be going back out today. Will let you all know tonight how we did.

Jesse

Brittlver

Here is the new pup we picked up today. He(Chase) and Molly get along great. He follows her everywhere.

Brittlver

Went out for a bit. Did not see a single bird. Going to do some research and see if I can find a place that has some birds. There were a ton of bowhunters at navarino so couldn't wonder to much. Any info you guys could provide would be great. I am in the Fox Valley now.

Jesse

Brittlver

Well had my Interview today. Think everything went great. He stated that he would pass the canadates to the manger that is doing the hiring and then they would be doing face to face interviews in the next 7-10 days. Hopefully I will get a call for that. If I end up getting the position I have to be ...

Brittlver

Where you going to be at Birdman. I will be in that area all weekend. If you are not to far maybe we can hook up Sunday.

Jesse

Brittlver

Season Opener is tomorrow. I will be out in Navarino in the afternoon. Have to pic up my wifes new pup tomorrow morning then will be heading on up. Getting antsy.

Jesse

Brittlver

No Ruth he didn't give one away

He had someone lined up to buy it. But now they backed out and I am buying it.

Jesse

Brittlver

This opener is going to be the best I ever had so far. Here are the reasons why: 1. Hunting with my wife. 2. Hunting with my Father, First time he's been out since I was 14, I'm 28 now. 3. Hunting with my first dog, Molly 4. Picking up another hunting buddy, from Gittrdonebritts. Hope he did somethi...

Anyone excited as me

Brittlver

Jesse Nackers

Thanks Doc.

Brittlver

Working at putting everything together this week. Getting my dad to come with me on opener. This will be his first time hunting in more then 15 years. It will be nice to be hunting with him again. Can't beat it. Hunting with my new dog, wife and father. It will be a great weekend.

Brittlver

Ok I re looked at the job. It will be the South East Metro part of Denver. I am not sure what area this exactly covers as they don't tell me the range but they do state that I have to live in this area. Any help is appreciated. If someone has pictures from this area that would be great. I would love...
