Thats wonderful! Keep at it and I'll bet you'll catch right up!

Wow! I didn't realize- how cool!

Welcome!

oooooh pretty!

hehehe once i had a puppy and a big dog came running too hard at us... well I kicked and he flew (my big dog) into the wall, slammed his head, hopped up, shook himself off and came happily right back at us. These guys are built to take a little rough and tumble.

Thanks for the well-wishes! We still have different interests within MA, so we have plenty of loving eye-rolling as well.

I like to hit things... I'm sure that's bad but I don't know about a title

I'm January 30th

1. Generally breed doesn't matter for people aggression (yes for dog aggression), but strong breeds are just that strong. In my experience as a PetCo associate, the little ones are way more likely to be vicious because many people who tend to buy them often are bad pet parents (a dog is a dog- not a fashion accessory!), buuuut if a chihuahua bites you 12 times, you have a cut up hand, while if a german shepherd bites you once you likely have a broken and mangled hand. 2. Throwing something I've seen reccomended elsewhere, too, and it sounds good to me. 3. Running will tickle their prey instinct, so not a great idea. 4. A good portion of the time a dog attacking a human is doing it out of fear (cuz that's what they've been taught) so if you are going to try to scare the dog off as was suggested above, keep in mind that though it may work in about half the cases, it may turn the other half into an even more severe situation. 5. Keep in mind that fighting a dog is much like fighting someone with a knife. If you do it, you will probably get bit/cut. Yes, you can choke out a dog much like a person, but you are probably putting yourself at more risk than its worth. Of course if I had a bunch of small kids around or something, I could see myself making that choice. Most likely, you are stronger than the dog, and if you can get a hold of it without being to badly hurt you could overpower. 6. The best thing that I've found to do with nippers, jumpers, and any dog that I don't want around my pups is what I read above- to keep something in between like a broom or big stick, and a couple times (for a small cranky dog that lives in our apt complex) my shooed foot. Anyway, I'm not a professional or anything, but I am around a bunch of dogs and do my reading and stuff.

Good to have you back!

Welcome!

I forsee another bad fight or two before he can adjust his style from young go-go-go to older patience-skill-cunning. I think we've seen others succefully make the transition...as well as not, so it will be interesting to see what actually happens to him

Last week after almost two years of engagement- the boy and I became the Mr. and I We met through my judo coach & his wife (who were friends of mine off the mats, too) and have been training for longer than we've been dating (about four years) and wouldn't have it any other way. Because our students are away for the summer, we are going to have a special "fun" kajukenbo ceremony when school begins again (I forsee some judo and hopefully BJJ with a touch less dress and cake)....(well maybe cake )... Anyway, pictures are to follow and I just wanted to share!

I'd like BMW to make something like the Subaru Forrester in a Hybrid.... buuuuuut... probably not going to happen

Once- the Met was cool, but has mice now, and good people watching

Palm Treo *hugs treo* I have an unhealthy relationship here.

'grats!

Harry Potter and DDR (though an adapter is needed

I second the Austrailia thing- next summer the mr and I will probably hit Ireland, so Aust. or New Zealand.

Yeh if you are interested in mma, you should have some Muay Thai under your belt, but that doesn't mean that it's the best choice for you right now. You seem like you'd prefer the one with more training time, to me.

My old judo school would have everyone in attendance throw the one being tested.

Hmmm... right now it's Sharp Edge here in Pittsburgh because it is kind of "our place" for my fiance and me.

Hey My fiance and I keep and occasionally breed ciclids. Do you know what kind you have? In general cichlids should not be kept with community fish (like platties) because the platty will often become dinner. Garamis are hit or miss. Some can act aggressivley, but everyone I've ever had has been beaten up by whatever community fish I had them in with. Another reason you don't keep them together is that the temps and pH's of cichlids verses community fish are a litlle off. Anyway, good luck with your tank!

Yeh that's hilarious and supposedly the ref is TUF's Shonie Carter.
