  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

we just taught my dog a great trick. Although I hope to never use it. My german shepherd absolutly loves to swim!!!!!! He is relaly strong too so yesterday I though a life jacket in the pond and lod him to go get it....he did several times, then I had my lil brother put one arm in the life jacket....and sent the dog to go get it...he was a bit surprised to have someone holding onto the jacket but he brought both to shore, we did this a few more times and then I sent the dog out to "get the boy" with out the life jacket....he never did figure out how to grabs nates shirt but he let nate grab his collar and swam to shore....now nate is a 9 year old kid so I went out and had him bring me to shore....he did.

I was pretty excited how quick he picked up what I wanted him to do. next we will try sending him after a kid when the kids are acting panicky and splaching water and then we will try and send him after a kid when they are totally limp and dont help him at all

Wow, it sounds like you're teaching your pup to be a rescue dog! And from the sounds of it, he's picking it up pretty quickly!
