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.
Tricks?

Zeus (the lab) can shake with either paw, can speak, and sing, can sit, and stay, and he can 'stand pretty'.
Sadie can stand up and spin in a circle, sit, stay (sort of), lay down, shake with both paws, and stand pretty.
Gertie can lay on the couch, growl at the other dogs, hog all the food, and ride on my lap in the car with her head out the window. (oh and she sits and speaks)
Ladie is dumb. ROFLOL She does one trick - she stands and spins. No matter what you ask all she does is stand and spin.
Elvis - the cockatiel, can whistle: "pretty bird", a Cat call, the charge signal, and he talks guinea pig, and whines like Ladie the dumb dog. (because of his lower neighbor Rosie the gp.)
Boy my pets are smart. LOL

I have cats and they think much too highly of themselves to perform circus tricks for their people

well...they're not directly my pets, but the cats around here run faster than an olympic runner when you throw things at them...
So the trick is you get a bucket of stones and hurl them at the cats and they run REALLY fast, and its even more fun when you put twigs in the ground etc...they act as sort of an obstacle course!
....okay so I joke! ...As much as I hate cats, I don't do that...My neighbour lets Ruffles his bulldog next door take care of it! You ought to see how high they jump when he comes a rollin out!...now THAT'S a trick...

Unimatrix - my dad has a trick you'd like.
For over a year these two pitbulls would get out and wander the neighborhood killing cats and small animals (coutry block about 3 miles to get around, lots of farm animals and cats). So dad got some pop bottle rockets and whenever they came around he shot one at them. Only took a few times and they stopped getting out - go figure.
That was a good trick!

my dog can spell, and knows hand signals, and can sit, stay, come and go away(yes that's actually a command he know) I don't know why i taught him with hand signals, just for fun i guess, cause neither of us are deaf, but sometimes i wonder about him lol

As I've posted on other threads in the Pets forum, my parents' dog is really smart when it comes to wanting dog treats. The bone container (5 flavors: lamb, beef, chicken, veggie, and PEANUT BUTTER!) is kept on a shelf in the garage. So anytime she sees us go to the garage, she thinks we're getting her a dog treat! LOL
I was able to get her to do another neat trick: whatever hand I snap my fingers with (one snap), she'd mirror that with a paw extended to shake! Since I'd be facing her, if I used my right hand she'd use her left paw. Wow! (And rewarded with half a treat, of course.)
Speaking of tricks...there was a cute episode of Arthur yesterday on PBS, called "Arthur's Lost Dog". His sister, DW, insisted that Pal was stupid. It was funny because she'd have her back to the puppy, who was busy getting treats from the box of biscuits. ROFL

I noticed some of the best tricks pets do - they make up themselves.
Commander does some of the usual -sit,lay down, play dead,crawl.
My pekapoo that I had for 16 years liked to show off how smart he was (very arrogant). He understood hand signals without being trained and was a camera freak - loved to have his picture taken and posed for them. But I remember his best trick. I taught him a lot of tricks, but he just didn't want to "play dead" the traditional way. You know I pretend to shoot him and say "bang" then he's suppose to fall over. No Raggs decided to spiff the act up a bit He pretended to attack me (never really biting) . I pretended to pull a (imaginary) knife and pretended to stab him. On Q he'd suddenly go stiff, then slowly go limp in my arms and sink slowly to the ground and lay there motionless until the performance was over. I taught him to play dead, but he improved on the trick his own way!

I know of another good trick - it involves a crossbow and a good aim!Beckijhn said:
Sorry - as much as I love animals, there have just been to many Pitbull attacks. The first time one is proven to attack and kill another animal or try to attack a person, they should be put down.
