Hello all.

Also, on the Pigface tip, if you remember in the liner notes for “Preaching To The Perverted” where people shared their Pigface stories, I’m the guy that crashed his mom’s car on my first date with this girl while listening to the Hagseed remix. Broke her collar bone on the seat belt and she had to sit out of marching band for the rest of the year. She was the only french horn player they had, so they were all pretty pissed at me.

Regarding Pigface…I gave up after Washingmachine Mouth. Love that EP.

^this.

oh yea, welcome aboard dude.

EPIC.

Re: the pooch. My dog is a dachsund/chihuahua mix. He’s gay and he’s an asshole. Look at him.

Wow, matching the accessories and nails! What a queerbo! [laugh]

This is the first time I saw a new thread with a flame on it. Welcome!

Re: the pooch. My dog is a dachsund/chihuahua mix. He’s gay and he’s an asshole. Look at him.

I think faggitry runs in that breed.

I used to have a coyote/Shepherd mix named “Tuffy”. “Peanut” was a long-haired dachshund across the street and would try to bit and suck on Tuffy’s manhood. I was appalled and at the time doggyhomophobic so I would kick that dachshund like a soccerball back to his yard.

I’m more open minded now, though, and I think I should have let Tuffy find his own way in life. I mean, seriously, if a coyote/shepherd mix is getting pushed around by a wiener dog named “Peanut” he’s not exactly the poster-dog for the Manly Man Dog Club anyway.

That’s funny, my buddy Sassy Mark got a pair of coyote/chow mixes when he lived in Socorro years ago. Osa was big and chow-like with short chow-red hair and white markings and Rasta was little with longer hair with black markings and built more like a coyote. They were awesome dogs, but they could get really rowdy and sometimes they would startle the shit out of you with little bits of behaviour that was completely undomesticated. Crazy unbroken pack shit. Like fucking velociraptors.

We only had the one dog at the time but maybe his temperment would be different in a group of dogs.

He was really sweet and gentle, actually, and kind of timid and nervous (this was kind of coyote-ish). He looked like a German Shepherd in shape and totally Shepherd in color (brown and black shepherd coat). The only way he looked coyote in appearance was that, whereas a Shepherd’s head sits proudly up on top of its neck and is higher than its body, Tuffy’s head stayed low, almost even with his back . . . pretty coyote-ish.

In case anyone was wondering the background of such a dog . . . well, maybe you already figured it out . . .

Tuffy’s mom was a German Shepherd and was tied to a tree in someone’s backyard. A horny coyote came down from the hills and raped the bitch. And on the 8th day, God created Tuffy . . .

He was already full-grown when we got him and frankly it was a bad acquisition. Neither my sister or I asked for the dog and since he was old and kind of crusty, neither of us really paid him enough attention. Eventually he got too rickety and the vet put him to sleep. The end.

Welcome! Love your fur baby.

Icepick, your gay wiener dog is super cute. They have such super expressive eyes.

Okay, so homey went in to the vet today for a teeth cleaning and removing one bad tooth the vet found last time, and he’s coming out of it minus ten or eleven teeth total, including ALL 8 TEETH BETWEEN THE CANINES. He’s really gonna be funny looking now, poor guy. And he’s only 3 years old. Puppy mills are bad news. We’ll be lucky to get another 6 years with him, living in those conditions really shortens their lifespan.

I’ll get a pic of his new Predator-style grill. Vampire Terrier!

Has there been a pets thread on here? Are there any unusual Prongspets out there?

All right, I hear the term all the time, but never asked this before . . . what’s a puppy mill? I just picture it’s like a breeding farm for dogs and they try to maximize output of dogs for sale or trade or fighting or whatever.

But can someone enlighten me? Also, how is a “puppy mill” different from a professional “breeder”? Is it just crappy conditions or what? Are mills just unlicensed breeders?

Sorry for all the questions, it’s just I’ve never bothered asking anyone before.

Reputable breeders (which are actually probably the minority) keep their animals as pets and treat them well and keep them in good health. Puppy mills are like dog farms (think of those gross chicken farm videos) and the animals are not treated as pets they are treated as livestock. They are not played with, they are not socialized, and many of them are straight up neglected. They’re not really concerned about the well-being of the breeding dogs, they just want a new crop of puppies to take to market. My dog spent 3 years living in a cage, and was only let out to fuck. Often, there isn’t enough food to go around, so the dogs end up eating shit because they’re not getting enough nutrients. Rescued puppy mill dogs always (ALWAYS) have health problems, often severe- sores, bad teeth, low bone density, untreated parasites etc. Once they are no longer capable of breeding, the dogs are often killed or dumped to fend for themselves with no survival skills (knowing only the inside of a box).

It’s a big problem in Missouri, we’re probably the worst puppy mill state and puppies from here get shipped all over the country. The voters here passed an anti-puppy mill law last fall, but the puppy mill lobby is apparently strong enough and has enough cash on hand to buy off a bunch of state legislators, because the Missouri Senate sure as fuck threw it out this spring. Cocksuckers.

Thanks. So your dog was a “stud” at such a place?

What do you mean by “puppy mill lobby”, though? Are the mills actually legal business entities, or are we just talking about old school sack-of-money-to-turn-your-back type of politics from the crime rings?

I’ll check your link later. I’m not a bleeding heart animal rights guy or anything, but I do think abuse and mistreatment is disgusting and should be criminal (and prosecuted accordingly).

Anyway, thanks for sharing.

Whenever I see dog abuse it totally gets to me. I can’t bear it. There are so many dog breeders that are total scum.

But on the lighter side of things, BLUE TOENAILS. 'Pick’s dog isn’t just gay, he’s FABULOUS.

Welcome, Davely.

Welcome davelybob.

What other bands are you into? Favourite albums?

Thanks again everybody for saying hi and making me welcome.

Olsen, I’m kind of a music hoarder, my iTunes will play for over 3 months before it repeats a song, so that’s a tough question and I’m about to leave town. I’ll have to get back to you on that. I’ll have a list of the most pertinent act & albums after the weekend.

Off to the Lake of the Ozarks for Memorial day weekend! You fuckers have a good weekend and be careful. Remember- cops hate you!

Seatbelts.

Icepick, your gay wiener dog is super cute.

Hah. Thanks, all. He’s a colossal prick, but he’s my friend. He doesn’t really have a legitimate name, but we usually refer to him as Buddy Love, on the account of his tendency to show his affection to EVERYTHING. His hobbies include being gay, stealing my socks, and eating small birds and lizards. The gay fucker’s a beast.

It’s uncanny how much Buddy Love and I have in common.

Hello davelybob, welcome yo.
