Found it! top breeds most likely to bite veterinarians. #1 is ... Chihuahua. - loosilu Feb 20, 11:09 16
- Oh, my chihuahua was a holy terror at the vet. They had to muzzle him. -- nm - Kim Pine Feb 20, 11:17
- a bit misleading, because I think the Labs are the most popular breed, so there are a ton of em out there. nm -- nm - groiny Feb 20, 11:10 5
  - Right, like what do you have to *do* to a lab to get it to bite you? -- nm - spamlet Feb 20, 11:10 3
    - *grabs the milkbone and starts to gnaw on it* - Will Hunting Feb 20, 11:12 1
      - Heh, our lab lets the 7 pound mini dachshund steal her food all the time. - spamlet Feb 20, 11:14
    - they don't make the l ist of most damaging bites. I would bet most are minor bites. -- nm - loosilu Feb 20, 11:12
  - yes, that's why I said it the way I did. -- nm - loosilu Feb 20, 11:10
- by number is likely because there are more of them? Just a guess. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 20, 11:09 8
  - no, because they are fiesty. It's the salsa -- nm - oblique Feb 20, 11:11 7
    - I know the small one that was attacking crash was a chiuaua, it was likely the ring leader. - groiny Feb 20, 11:12 6

        Any dog less than 50 pounds is an insult to what dogs should be. - TWuG Feb 20, 11:16 2
        
        "Any dog less than 50 pounds is a cat." -- nm - Beryllium Feb 20, 11:18
        
        cats don't put up with bullshit like wearing designer outfits. -- nm - loosilu Feb 20, 11:17
        
        I have never in my life seen one NOT be an asshole. nm -- nm - groiny Feb 20, 11:14 1

It was probably an innocent question, but "Who was the one that like Zubaz, ML?" made me LOL -- nm - con_carne Feb 20, 11:02 3
- Whatever ML's relationship with zubaz is, I wouldn't use the word "like". -- nm - nubby, Astro-lord Feb 20, 11:12 1

- awww - so fun! -- nm - Epiphany Feb 20, 10:52
- Rescued? Or breeder? - TWuG Feb 20, 10:52 2
  - rescue, almost certainly. -- nm - znufrii Feb 20, 10:55
  - I wish I could rescue a cat. I can't even take care of myself though. brian feeds my fish for me. - amanda Feb 20, 10:53
Speaking of firearms, did anyone listen to this week's This American Life? powerful stuff. -- nm - loosilu Feb 20, 10:46 6
- Stupid cliffhanger! I podcast and usually wait until we travel to do a bunch at a time. I'll have to listen to this week's upcoming show. -- nm - spamlet Feb 20, 11:01
- Not yet. Care to summarize? -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 20, 10:47 4
  - yes I'm interested too. what was it about. side question, why hasn't the ban been reinstated yet? - Epiphany Feb 20, 10:48
  - It's about a high school in Chicago where, in one school year, 28 current or former students were shot, and 8 of those died. - loosilu Feb 20, 10:48 2
    - And it's a school of about 500 kids. -- nm - spamlet Feb 20, 11:02

I think I just bruised my shoulder by sneezing -- nm - Beryllium Feb 20, 10:46
oh my god, trish. I hope you've gone already, but if you haven't, best wishes to crash, one, and two - amanda Feb 20, 10:41 6
- As shitty as the dog owner is, I am grateful that his/her opposite exists in the good samaritan that helped Crash -- nm - ty97 Feb 20, 10:43 4
  - It sounds like she thought of the right thing and quickly. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 20, 11:09
  - Yes. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 20, 11:08
  - yes, and thank god they did not whip out the cell phone and post it to youtube. - groiny Feb 20, 10:44
  - seriously. thank heaven. -- nm - znufrii Feb 20, 10:43
- Heh. Uh, your roll post made me think you'd already read about it ... and that maybe you were referencing something like this -- (link) - Beryllium Feb 20, 10:43 [Image]
thing is about pit bulls, is that there are so many mixed breeds, it is hard to tell. - groiny Feb 20, 10:40 59
- Funny thing about the Kennel Show on tv last week... - Mel Profit Feb 20, 10:55 3
  - lots of Roman Army Legion dogs. And German ones. -- nm - Diva Feb 20, 10:57 2
    - It was like a Dog Breeding Arms Race. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 20, 11:00 1
      - The Axis Powers take over the Westminster Kennel Club Show. - Diva Feb 20, 11:06
- One go loose near my house about a year ago. He came at me at full speed. - Inigo Feb 20, 10:53
- And we're just assuming they were pit-related, right? -- nm - Beryllium Feb 20, 10:47 5
  - I am not. - groiny Feb 20, 10:48 1
    - decline, didn't we have huge rottweiler trouble in PHL when I was in allentown? -- nm - amanda Feb 20, 10:50
  - 2 big dogs and a smaller one. I'm not sure we know the breeds yet (I may have missed a post). -- nm - Diva Feb 20, 10:48 2
    - yup, the pitbull discussion is based on MDH's tangent, not any actual knowledge of the dogs in question here. -- nm - znufrii Feb 20, 10:49 1
      - Yeah, that's it. Tangentially related discussion. Got it. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 20, 10:49
- If we'd known Murphy was likely pit-mix...we wouldn't have gotten him. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 20, 10:45 20
  - but as you said on B2, any dog can be aggressive...pits just have traits for more danger (along with some other breeds) -- nm - SyrDragon Feb 20, 10:49 13
    - True, but I'm not a person to take risks for no reason. - Will Hunting Feb 20, 10:54
    - Dobermans always make me nervous. they look mean -- nm - Epiphany Feb 20, 10:51 11
      - if you see the ones where they don't crop the ears and the tails, they look way less scary in their natural state. -- nm - Andie Feb 20, 10:51 10
        
        any pissed off dog charging at you can be scary. - groiny Feb 20, 10:53 9
        
        say what you want but shih tzu are m-fin' funny dogs. - Mel Profit Feb 20, 11:07
        
        oh sure, i just mean purely-based-on-looks. (uncropped doberman pic) -- (link) - Andie Feb 20, 10:54 7
        
        Here's ours, for example. -- (link) - Shaun Feb 20, 10:58 2
        
        Cutie. -- nm - Diva Feb 20, 11:06
        
        i think they're cute. -- nm - Andie Feb 20, 11:00
        
        definitely a different look. I think we are going to get a weinerimer(sp?) one day. -- nm - Epiphany Feb 20, 10:56 2
        
        Weimaraners are good dogs. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 20, 11:02
        
        Here's ours! -- (link) - Shaun Feb 20, 10:59
        
        We had a mini-pinscher....that little thing could be *mean* - Will Hunting Feb 20, 10:55
  - have you ever doggie-DNA'd him? -- nm - amanda Feb 20, 10:47 2
    - Nope, just the look of one. - Will Hunting Feb 20, 10:52 1
      - I think we've figured out by now that there's not a reason to worry with him... -- nm - kelly Feb 20, 10:56
  - we go to animal welfare once a year or so, and last time it was like 80% pit bull mixes. nm -- nm - groiny Feb 20, 10:46 2
    - my friend runs an animal shelter and they just can't take pits anymore. too many attacks on other animals at the shelter. - amanda Feb 20, 10:48 1
      - there are several shelters around here who say they don't take them but then just call them something else to skirt their own rule - Epiphany Feb 20, 10:52
- I wouldn't own a pitbull. I have full faith in my ability as a dog owner, but no way. -- nm - Shaun Feb 20, 10:44 26
  - I would, I've known several and they can be incredibly sweet but I'd want it as a puppy so I knew the training/handling - Epiphany Feb 20, 10:47
  - It's really hit or miss with the breed. My brother has one (part pit). Sweetest dog you'll ever meet. -- nm - decline Feb 20, 10:46 22
    - genetics being what they are I will never trust that breed. - Mel Profit Feb 20, 10:48 21
      - Here's a list of dogs most likely to kill (can't find most likely to bite). I hope crash was NOT bit by pit bulls. - loosilu Feb 20, 10:55 10
        
        omg!! -- (link) - amanda Feb 20, 10:59 8
        
        I would only be around that dog if I had a large caliber firearm. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 20, 11:04 1
        
        mothereffing word. -- nm - amanda Feb 20, 11:06
        
        those are evil looking mutherfuckers. nm -- nm - groiny Feb 20, 11:02
        
        This picture here would cause me to soil my pants. -- (link) - Will Hunting Feb 20, 11:02 4
        
        that dog is about to do something very bad. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 20, 11:08 1
        
        looks like a friggin chupacabra* -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 20, 11:10
        
        i lived next door to drug dealers once upon a time, who owned a bull mastiff. that thing LOOKED terrifying. - Andie Feb 20, 11:06 1
        
        We went to the local Humane Society thing 3 years ago --- there was a rescue tent for Great Danes and Bull Mastiffs - Will Hunting Feb 20, 11:09
        
        Right, I believe mine (Mercury) specifically excludes them. -- nm - Meg Feb 20, 10:58
      - I read somewhere that the dog most prone to biting ( not attacking per se) was a Dalmation. -- nm - Epiphany Feb 20, 10:50 6
        
        I don't think I've ever seen one in person. -- nm - amanda Feb 20, 11:07 2
        
        they are not really a good breed because of all the problems with health. - groiny Feb 20, 11:09 1
        
        they are super hyper. -- nm - loosilu Feb 20, 11:15
        
        I think that may be related to their hearing problems - they're easily startled. -- nm - Meg Feb 20, 10:50 2
        
        heh - could be. I've only really known one and he was a weirdo. - Epiphany Feb 20, 10:54
        
        yes, vision and hearing issues in a crazy high % of the breed. nm -- nm - groiny Feb 20, 10:51
      - oddly, my uncle was a professional firefighter (did we know this? uncle tony) and he says that the most vicious dogs he's encountered - amanda Feb 20, 10:49 2
        
        totally anecdotal, but the few dobermans i've known have been, like, sucky lap dogs. -- nm - Andie Feb 20, 10:51 1
        
        Ours is exactly like that. But again, I understand why people can be anxious around them. - Shaun Feb 20, 10:53
  - I have been around plenty that are sweeties, but they are scary sometimes. nm -- nm - groiny Feb 20, 10:45 1
    - Of course, and that's the same wilh any breed. I don't feel I could 100% trust it. -- nm - Shaun Feb 20, 10:50
Apropos of nothing... is the term "zero dark thirty" ever used in the movie? I don't recall. -- nm - Mop (190 lbs) Feb 20, 10:40 1
- I don't recall it ever being spoken, but I believe there's a shot of a clock at 12:30 am at one point. -- nm - Was Bar Was Feb 20, 10:42
Trish - this is maybe silly, but did you call Crash's work to let them know? -- nm - JenBro Feb 20, 10:40
Will.I.Am or howeverthefuckit'sspelled has awful taste in cars. - TWuG Feb 20, 10:39
The best thing about Yellow Ledbetter is that it's the most "lead singer-stops-and-lets-the-crowd-sing-instead" -proof song that there is -- nm - prayformojo Feb 20, 10:39
Wait, there was a Hose siting on B2! -- nm - spamlet (iPhone) Feb 20, 10:39
chew on this... -- nm - amanda Feb 20, 10:38
