Physical and temperament wise – Which breed do you believe is ruined?
CH GCH Von Hofs Cisco Kid Asked: Physical and temperament wise – Which breed do you believe is ruined?
I would have to say German Shepherd Dogs from show lines. I cringe when i see a GSD walking (If you can even call it that!) around the show ring, there hocks wobble when they move along the ring and they seem very abnormal. The hindquarters of the show line GSD's are almost touching the ground, which causes them to be uncoordinated (It shows!) and just all around awkward in appearance. There is no way any show quality GSD could do what it was originally bred to do.. They can't even walk properly. There temperaments are so out of whack, a lot of Shepherds are fearful and show very little confidence in themselves, which is abnormal for a GSD. It's disgusting really.
Which breed do you believe to be the worst off physically and temperamentally? Why?

DID MICHELLE SAY "THANK YOU AMERICA"?
Phoenix Asked: DID MICHELLE SAY "THANK YOU AMERICA"?
Dear American Taxpayer
For only the second time in my adult life, I am not ashamed of my country. I want to thank the hard working American people for paying $242 thousand dollars for my vacation in
Spain .
My daughter Sasha, several long-time family friends, my personal staff and various guests had a wonderful time.
Honestly, you just haven't lived until you have stayed in a
$2,500.00 per night private 3-story villa at a 5-Star luxury
hotel.
Thank you also for the use of Air Force Two and the 70 Secret Service personnel who tagged along to be sure we
were safe and cared for at all times. By the way, if you
happen to be visiting the Costa del Sol, I highly recommend the Buenaventura Plaza restaurant in Marbella ; great lobster with rice and oysters! I'm ashamed to admit the lobsters we ate in Martha's Vineyard were not quite as tasty, but what can you do if you're not in Europe , you have to just grin and bear it?
Air Force Two (which costs $11,351 per hour to operate
according to Government Accounting Office reports) only used 47,500 gallons of jet fuel for this trip and carbon emissions were a mere 1,031 tons of CO2. These are only rough estimates, but they are close. That's quite a carbon footprint as my good friend Al Gore would say, so we must ask the American citizens to drive smaller, more fuel efficient cars and drive less too, so we can lessen our combined carbon footprint.
I know times are hard and millions of you are struggling to put food on the table and trying to make ends meet. So I do appreciate your sacrifices and do hope you find work soon.
I was really exhausted after Barack took our family on a luxury vacation in Maine a few weeks ago. I just had to get away for a few days.
Cordially,
Michelle (Moochelle) Obama
P.S. Thank you as well for the $2 BILLION dollar trip to India from which we just returned!
P.SS. Thank you, too, for that vacation trip to Martha's Vineyard ; it was fabulous.
And thanks for that second smaller jet that took our dog Bo to Martha's Vineyard so we and the children could have him with us while we were away from the White House for eleven days. After all, we couldn't take him on Air Force One because he might pee on some wires or something.
P.SSS. Oh, I almost forgot to say thanks also for our two-week trip to Hawaii at Christmas. That 7,000 square foot house was great!
P.SSSs don't forget my ski trip to Vail this winter and now the girls and I are in Africa with my mom. All this while Barack golfs and campaigns to keep my trips coming for the next 4 years !
Love ya!
Remember, we all have to share the pain of these economic times equally! Love to -redistribute- share- the wealth.

My dog’s eyeball is bulging out at the bottom?
Bri Webb Asked: My dog’s eyeball is bulging out at the bottom?
Okay, i asked this same question a few days ago, but it was about my Red Irish Setter. Her eyeball was bulging out, the white part was swollen. She was acting fine and it went away that night. Okay, now my Mini Dachshund was fine this morning, we let her out, she JUST came back in like 10 minutes ago and her eyeball was the same way. And just in the last few minutes it's GONE. What does this sound like it could be? It must be something they're getting into outside? We have ant killer out there and they like to dig, maybe some got in their eyes? I have no idea. I thought it was weird with my Setter but now it's REALLY weird that the same thing just happened with my Dachshund. Please no rude comments, i'm just asking if anyone has any ideas as to what could be causing this.
