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.

Do you have any other pets? If not, maybe start with a smaller pet and show him you'll take very good care of it by feeding it, watering it, keeping the cage clean, etc.

Collie................. you know, like Lassie... I have owned that breed all my life...
they are love sponges..... soak up all the love you can give and give it back in large doses.....
any pet is a responsibility..... the decision of how responsible you will be is more important than the breed....
Are you going to be there for the feedings, cleanings, sicknesses, shots, dicipline, and most importantly love..... how committed are you?
good luck

Well rite now we have fish. But I was leasing a horse 4 about 5 months. I guess u could say that I did show resonpisbility w/ Sugar (the horse). I know that dogs r alot of work, but I am willing 2 put up w/ that.

In that case, I've seen people who don't normally like dogs warm up to chihuahuas-they don't have much fur, they don't eat much, they don't knock anything over, and they're not too overbearing at the door.

Chihuahuas r really cute!! I would like 2 get 1 but my mom thinks that they r "rats" and doesn't want 1. She would rather have a yorkie. I would also like 2 start out w/ a hamster or something like that, but my dad thinks that they stink and doesn't want 1.

He likes dogs, he just doesn't want an indoor dog or a "small" dog. He would rather have a german shepard or a huskey. And our neighbors have 2 yorkies and they won't stop yapping. So I don't know wat he feels about getting a little yorkie.

Collies are definitely the best breed! I have 4 of them and 3 little shelties and one tiny shelty puppy They are gentle, loving, loyal, sweet and everything else good and they are beautiful too.

If you contact Mary Magdalene by pm, she can give you the beta. You can also see her thread in the Friends Forum called Who Wants a Puppy? I bumped it to the top for you.

Its a good idea to research the breed before you decide on a dog. You can find alot of information on line. Huskys are beautiful, they are also very fine escape artists which causes alot of problems for many people. All breeds have plusses and minuses and you want the dog that will best fit your family and living situation. The wrong breed could be a disaster especially since your dad is already hesitant. If you have a disaster it could wreck it for you forever. Also it would be a good idea to have a plan as to how you will train the dog and train it right from the start. Training is alot of work and time, not just in the beginning, but throughout the dogs life. It is much worth the effort. A well trained dog can be a real blessing and a wonderful family member and maybe your dad will forget about his negative ideas if he sees differently, A dog that is not well trained though is a disaster, and even a trained dog that is the wrong match for your living situation or lifestyle can also cause alot of problems. Be careful and don't make any hasty decisions.
