So these clowns sat inside while their PUPPY(18mo old) was getting all clawed up by a cat bigger than it?
What a bunch of wussies. I don’t care if I didn’t have a gun. I woulda found something to use as a weapon.
Dogs are a blessing to mankind!
“A kitty will stand-up for you too, but they have to like you a lot.”
Some critters have more heart than others. My brother had two cats once. A neighbor’s doberman go a hold of one and the other, a tom cat leaped onto the dog’s back, dug in it’s claws and bit a chunk out of it’s neck. Doby dropped the cat which was ok and took off like a scalded dog.
The neighbor had the audacity to ask my brother to pay the vet bill.
Yep you got that right,otherwise you will be covered in marks.
We have cougars sighted in NW WI. The DNR thinks they’re not a danger. More Gubmit idiots.
It is noted that...
"Nearly 22% of Canadian households had at least one firearm, including 2.3% of households possessing a handgun.[2]

There are three classes of firearms and firearm licences: non-restricted, restricted and prohibited. Prohibited firearms are not actually prohibited, they simply require a prohibited licence to obtain. New prohibited licences are available only at the discretion of the Chief Firearms Officer of a province or the Federal Government of Canada.
The licence required to purchase and own a firearm in Canada is the Possession and Acquisition Licence (PAL). This is the same licence used for both restricted and non-restricted firearms with a small variation in the application. In order to be eligible to obtain a non-restricted PAL, the applicant must have completed and passed the Canadian Firearms Safety Course (CFSC). For the restricted PAL (which includes handguns) the applicant must have passed both the CFSC and the Canadian Restricted Firearms Safety Course (CRFSC). Most courses offer the CFSC or a combined course that includes both the CRFSC and the CFSC
Lots of additional info here...Canada's Gun Laws for Americans (2007)
as a Canadian who knows that area and also has a house in the country, this story is close to home. That’s a heck of a good dog, only hope my coonhound or black lab will watch my kids like that. I do have several firearms and wouldn’t hesitate to protect my kids or dogs from those wild animals though, I’m not a “typical” liberal Canadian.
That picture cannot help but put a big smile on anyones face......love it..
Thanks for the link - a lot to read but explains a lot. Glad to read that the gun ownership situation in Canada is not what it is in England or Australia.
Aptly named Angel, indeed.
a relative of mine that lives somewhere between edmonton and calgary told me once that where he lives, everyone has guns and they don’t care what the law says. No one gives a dam about permits or regulations or anything that comes out of ottawa. He’s pretty old though(80ish) so maybe it’s just the old timers that think that way.
Good boy
Now thats a cougar i would let bite me..
Yep it is one of my fav pics of my daughter..
I hope you had a great christmas and a great new year...
Clearly a contented family.
When I was young older people still believed a cat near a baby would suck it’s breath out and the baby would die. Have no idea where that came from, but it was accepted as fact.
I never had such a cute combination as you have, but I certainly had cats curled up on a bed here and there with the kids.But then my kids survived not having bike helmets and such as well.
What can I say.
Thanks for sending the picture. It is darling.
“When I was young older people still believed a cat near a baby would suck it’s breath out and the baby would die. Have no idea where that came from, but it was accepted as fact.”
People thought differently hundreds of years ago. If an infant mysteriously dies in the crib, and one of the parents either finds the family cat lying next to a dead infant, or licking the dead infant’s mouth/face (because of any food particles), then said grieving parent who doesn’t have scientific data demonstrating that SIDS has nothing to do with cats, looks for an explanation as to why you just lost your child. What explanation seems most logical? The cat did it.
Wasn’t just hundreds of years ago. my husband’s grandmother who was a very sensible woman firmly believed a cat could take the baby’s breath away. However you are right- we go on the knowledge we have, correct or otherwise. Thankfully much of the time it does not make a big difference.
We have had two cats killed in northwest Nebraska this summer-both legally - protecting livestock. I have an idea however there are the SSS situations, shoot shovel and shut up if there is any question.
