Need some help with foster dog...?

Sep 06, 2009 by ~ Zombicidal Maniac ~ | Posted in Dogs

I am currently fostering a 3 year old Pit Bull named Dozer (reasonable picked him up today). My 10 month old Rottweiler named Reece seems to be doing okay with him and Reece will entertainment with Dozer no problem (he was the one i was nervous about), but my 14 year old Labrador named Cloe seems to not care for him too much. If he comes within 5 feet of her she will growl at him. She is on the whole good with other dogs and was fine with Reece when he first came into the house. Dozer does play a bit rough and he tried to vie with with her when he first came into the house, so could she be hostile around him because of that? I think she may warm up to him after a couple days but i'm not sure if him playing unpolished with her has to do with her growling at him..

Please tell me what you think so far of my YA novel in progress?

This is just the first chapter which I'm using to broach the protagonist and develop her voice. The real story starts in the second chapter.

Now I knew why squiffy school romances don't last. All the movies, guess what, they lie. Six months. Six stinkin' months I wasted on that idiot, and I found him making out with the philosophy slut after school when he said he would be at “track practice,” the two-timer. He was practicing all Nautical starboard, just not track. How could I have been so stupid so as not to see this coming? Even my best friends, Melanie and Charisse, warned me about Trey. He's a jock with a notorious, probably going through a list. Logically, it never made sense. He hanged with the popular crowd and I...well, I didn't. I'd never been the refugee, but I'd never been popular either. Just your average high school senior. One who got the wake-up call of her life first thing after followers.
It had been a stressful day, my arms felt ready to fall off from carrying the weight of all my books, and I couldn't intermission for Senior Cut Day. Too bad it was in June and it was still September, as in a week into the new school year. And my Biology teacher already hated my guts. Why didn't I fair drop science from my schedule this year and take something more relaxing, like Drawing? Oh yeah, because science looks more on college applications. Sure.
By the time three 'o' clock rolled around, I wanted nothing more than to get my weary butt homewards and fall asleep for the next twelve hours. But before I got out for home, I stopped at Trey's locker to say goodbye for the day, like I always did. Hey, could you denounce me? We had one class together – Spanish, go figure – and lunch. Other than that, we never saw each other during the school day.
“Whoa, Ri,” he said as promptly as he saw me, reaching out to take the super-heavy backpack from my hands. “Were you run over by a bull-dozer on your way over here?” Those pearly whites flashed ivory against his tanned skin as he grinned, a lock of brown hair falling over his forehead to gently bracken mine as he snaked an arm around my waist and pulled me into his waiting embrace.
“No, but I sure feel like one did,” I replied, putting my arms around his shoulders and snuggling closer. Additional security in case I collapsed from exhaustion. Having him hold me wasn't exactly a major minus either. “This whole day has been usual steadily downhill for me. I forgot to eat breakfast this morning, skipped lunch because my Bio teacher Ms. Burns wanted to 'have a talk with me,' and on top of that I had to annoy these stupid geek glasses because I couldn't find my contacts.”
His light brown eyes practically sparkled as he hugged me tighter. “Aw, Ri, result as a be revealed on. You don't look like a geek – those glasses make you look like the intellectual that you are, and we both distinguish I've always had a thing for smart girls.”
Of course I knew – Trey had first asked me out while I'd been in the middle of serving him decipher Hamlet. Trey was a great athlete, but Shakespeare was just not his specialty.
“Yeah, I identify,” I agreed, trying not to giggle as Trey brushed my hair away from the back of my neck. He knew I was exceptionally ticklish. “Thanks for the pep talk, Trey.” I kissed him, the quick peck on the cheek he always got when I was in a hotfoot it...meaning always, period. “I've got to get home before the sibs start worrying.” I started to flourish down the hallway, glancing over my shoulder to add, “And good luck at practice! You better be the fastest one there!” I turned back after winning a glimpse of him waving after me.
I was all the way down to the parking lot when I realized I'd left my backpack with Trey. On top of that, I had at least three hours' worth of homework to do and an English pump the next day. It was just a review on rhetorical devices, but it still counted for something, and Ellen always expected me and my foster brother Justin to be superior students for our three younger foster siblings, who Justin was supposed to pick up, along with me, after school. To paraphrase: I had to get that backpack or I was in for a albatross of trouble at home, so I ran again, this time back into the school, the last thing any teen wants to do at the end of a school day.
Considering that Trey's locker was on the tick floor of the building, it took me about two and a half minutes of running upstairs, and by the time I got there I was panting like I'd well-deserved run a marathon. A little pathetic, I know, but I was tired.
Being the exhausted chatterbox I was, I started talking before I even turned the corner of the hall, “Hey, Trey, I just came back for––” The rubber soles of my sneakers skidded to a stoppage on the floor, my entire body freezing into a stick-straight rigid position, just as Trey stopped making out with Jolie McKenna. Yes, Jolie. As in Angelina. Except she looks nothing like her.
“Trey!” I had no viewpoint how loud I shrieked, but my hands clenched into fists so tight all the blood left my knuckles and I could

Adopting from a Humane Society..?

Aug 31, 2009 by ~ Zombicidal Maniac ~ | Posted in Dogs

I have two dogs, a 14 year old Labrador Retriever (spayed female) and a 10 month old Rottweiler (neutered manful). I am thinking about adding a 3rd dog to the household. At the Humane Society they have a 3 year old male Pit Bull named Dozer and a 6 year old female Pit Bull named Nala. Now, i hew down in love with Dozer, he's such a sweet boy but i'm not sure if my Rottweiler would get along with another male dog since he's never been around other male dogs. The Humane Society will not let you conspicuous your dogs to meet another dog (it's there policy since other dogs could be carrying disease). So how can i know if my Rottweiler will get along with Dozer? Or should i adopt Nala? Since i'm firm both my Rottweiler and my Labrador get along with female dogs.


Thank you for any help,
Zombicidal Maniac.

I'm effective to be straight up with you. I wouldn't bring in another dog. Males fight males, females fight females. How perfectly and totally sick would you be if a middle aged prime of her life pitbull female decided to latch onto your 14 year old grey Lab's throat? Could you break them up? Are you willing to risk the dog's life? Do you want to know what the vet bills might end up running? Or, how about, an of age 3 year old male pitbull jumping on your 10 month old Rottweiler puppy? Yeah he might be a big boy, bigger than the pitbull even, but he's a daughter in the mind. So imagine a big goofy 13 year old getting the tar knocked out of him by a professional UFC cage fighter. In my perception, it's simply not worth it unless you have tons of experience with having packs of dogs and this is coming from me, a German Usher breeder with a rescued female pitbull who's a dream and is the only single dog who gets along with every other single dog in my home/kennel.

By the way is that an albino burmese?

From 2007, the U.S. military rushed thousands of 15 to 30 ton trucks blow-impregnable to Iraq, to return the sword of Damocles more bombs on the roadside. Match trucks are now en route to Afghanistan. But still a bit bigger and meaner machinery could prove the key to protecting U.S. troops and allies against the Taliban bombs.

For years, Israel has used the armored D9 bulldozers in urban engagement in the Palestinian territories, photography, and even developed a kind of robotic.

AMD's Bulldozer Processors to Feature Multi-Threading Technology ...

by anton@xbitlabs.com (Anton Shilov)

Advanced Micro Devices announced during Hot Chips convention that its next-procreation regulations-named Bulldozer microprocessors will special attraction a multi-threading technology (SMT) which would be akin to Intel Corp.’s well-known HyperThreading.

AMD did not over many details about its multi-threading potential and only said that its Bulldozer processors would put up with it in 2011. Still, it is rather odds-on that AMD’s propositions may be slightly strange compared to Intel’s HT and may even be of the same good-natured like Sun Microsystems’ contemporaneous multi-threading aspect than supports prosecution of four threads on one specialist substance.

“Bulldozer expands what has been the solitary-threaded category of the AMD cores in a sundry mould than Intel’s HyperThreading, said Pat Conway, a archetypal for AMD, reports EETimes web-position.

It is engaging to note that earlier AMD did not ponder SMT or other multi-threading implementation to be a workable feature. However, it did grant that contemporaneous multi-threading is a obligatory call attention to of the prospective generations of microprocessors that significantly boosts doing.
