Dewd that bottom one is staring at me and creeping me out.

That's funny you say border collie as she was all about Scroll down to "****", and I kinda liked "Waffles". So uh yeah bout the "shelter" thing, that's what we are looking at, as you can clearly see once you click on the link. It's just that I'm also interested in pure breeds such as the Doberman and Schnauzer. It's about 50/50 so I would appreciate not having to "argue" the shelter thing any further. Rather than saying "shelter" instead do us all a favor and and tell me a specific shelter that you think is doing an above average job and is worth going to. *******************************************************ADDENDUM****************************** OK HONESTLY HERE FOLKS, REALLY? REALLY? IS THERE ANYONE ELSE ON THIS FORUM THAT BELIEVES THE SWEARY FILTER IS KIND OF OVER THE TOP RIDICULOUS AT TIMES? When I clicked on the "preview post" to see if my link worked it did not. I cannot type the name ****, think short for Richard. It is a name. I work with a guy named ****. **** would probably be offended if he joined the site here and created a username of "****" and it could not be displayed. ****, ****, ****, Rooster. So yeah Diabeetus please scroll down to **** on the page. D i c k. And mods I am not trying to "get around the swear filter" Sorry but I cannot type out **** as in the animal's name for others to look at and comment.

My understanding is that the tnak was sold to, and picked up by, the first responder to my PM box. SOLD

So my other half has been after me to get her a dog for several years. She really wanted a Doberman but I'm leery about our 2 cats. I think the younger one would be fine but I'm worried the old one will be so upset that she might waste away. I'm also worried that with such a large dog that a playful nip at the cat could end in death for kitty. So lately she has been patrolling the pounds and keeps sending me pics of other dogs. I'm looking for a few ideas here. First: breed. Second: size. Third: demeanor. Fourth: hectic schedules. Fifth: where? Breed: So I would still personally like a Doberman. I've always liked them and have always wished to keep one. I've had min pins before. They were an absolute handful. I actually kind of liked the messages the pound would leave me when they would catch Pico running loose in the hood. The called him "Devil Dog" and his city mandated microchip papers identified him as such. However a min pin does not make a Doberman. Other breeds: Whippet, Italian Greyhound (kinda the same thing), Screw Tail Boston terrier, most any of the terriers, blue heeler, catahoula, or my other all time hold out a salt and pepper giant schnauzer. Size: I have a decent sized back yard so that's not so much a problem. 1 problem is I only have a chain link fence. If necessary I could add an invisible fence and train it. Along with size I do have 2 cats to think about. I am also worried about having to clean up piles behind a large dog. Large dogs= large bills. Anybody have a preference? Demeanor: Of course the nice thing about a larger dog is that my house might seem a little more secure. I have been robbed twice while living in Austin so yeah that sucks. I'm stuck between wanting a warm fluffy rock that could care less if I'm there (that's probably from the cats) and a wild obnoxious always in my face dog. I'm really wanting to stay away from a middle of the road perfect dog. Either dead lazy or super annoying hyper. If it is ultra hyper I am much more inclined to take it everywhere with me and unleash it upon the unsuspecting. Schedule conflicts: I work a job with no set hours. I could be working 40 hours or 98 hours without warning. My Misses is currently working and taking a few classes so her schedule can be wacky as well. And finally where? Of course the first thing that everyone will say is "The Pound". Ok now that we are past that let's move on. As much as I don't mind visiting a shelter, and it is still an option, I am also the type that enjoys a pure breed and I also like getting papers with a dog. I'm no farmer so I'm never going to have an awesome paper trailed horse or anything, this may be as close as I get. I will not buy from Petland and I am also set against side of the road. I realize that some people just happen upon a litter of puppies and need to get rid of them in a parking lot, but good people breed good dogs and find better ways of passing them on. So I want all the comments, even from fishypets. Any experiences with any of the dogs I like?

Ooh a swing and a miss. Sorry Callahan, my Ducati Sport Classic could never be considered a "crotch rocket". I have had my eye on getting a new 1098 so if I do.... You'll be spot on.

Yes.

Fishypets used to have an awesome pair of high powered back lit surgeon style magnifiers. You should ask him.

A friend of mine asked me to set up a simple tnak for him about 4 years ago. It was just a little 40g running live rock, a sand bed, and some powerheads. He bought a Prizm skimmer but I'm not sure if it is still running. We set up a light fixture with 3x 65w PC. The bulbs are around 3 months old. There are some fish, crabs, and the live rock. A couple of 5g water jugs. Not sure what else. He wants to sell by this weekend. I know he would make a great price to anyone that can quickly drain it and leave without a mess. There is no stand as this was in a cut out in his wall, hence why no sump or other good stuff. How about I start at $60 takes all? You will have to PM me so I can get the update on my phone. You will need to include a phone number so he can call you back. He lives near 35 and 1431 on the west side.

Hahaa. I mean I was just wondering if it was like as massive as he said.

Keep in mind that most peps will only eat small or injured aptasia. That's why when I had some that needed to go, I kalked them all first, then let the peps clean the tnak. Worked very well. Much success.

Like this big? Nice score. I paid over $500 for my Eheim 2250 canister filter and another $560 filling it with Eheim media. You might consider trying Ebay for it and recover more money than the pump, then buy a pump and some extra stuff.

Kalk. There was no spot to vote for kalk paste. Has NEVER failed me. If'n you want I can come by Thurs or Fri evening to help you kill them off and show you the procedure. I generally aim for 3 doses. Each dose kills whatever it touches but I don't like that much Kalk sitting in a tnak if it is a large infestation. I have 4 1/2 gallons of Kalk powder so I promise we will win.

I would consider getting rid of mine. I have no real attachment to it. I've had it for just about a year now. Really healthy. Was from a hobbyist before I got it. So it's been in tnaks for many years. About 4" or so. PM me an offer and I'll get back to you. I'm always down for a trade so offer up.

I'll take the Leng Si. Will you be around Monday after 4:00? It's only a 3 minute ride from my place.

Chrissie probably dropped off Evil Crab when you weren't home.

Pods=copepods or amphipods etc.. Very small crustaceans, like shrimp, that clean our tnaks or feed our fish. Almost every salt tnak will have them. They come with our live rock. They find a way to reproduce and will be all over your tnak. People that keep mandarins understand that most mandarins will only eat "pods" from your tnak. planaria = flatworms. Some are ok, some are real bad news.

Yar, that rings a bell.

Thought that a Doctor out there had paid Kingfish to install 3 large salt water aquariums over there before they opened. Maybe they decided salt was to much work? Wanna say his screen was mojo but that might be Fishy's buddy.

Might you want to trade for another Yuma? It is a purple bubble with bright pink disc.

I thank you misunderstand what I was asking. What made him choose a 75 gal instead of a 90 gal for the display tank? Nope I 100% fully understood your question. But as I said, why not fill in the entire space. Heck you could've asked him why not a 110 or 120 as they have almost the same foot print as a 55, 75, or 90. I just went straight for the throat and asked him why he didn't fill in that giant hole?

Loves my Phoenix.
