Eastern Colorado sucks. I lived in Lamar for a year. No need or desire to go back. Ever.

Here is a pic of lovely Rocky Mointain National Park. Breathtaking.

Coming to your backyard this summer. Peeps were using snow shovels last time to clean them up.

I remember the last one. I think it’s fascinating. Yeah science!

Edit: Looks like it will miss us, but shithole PWC will be in the thick of it. They don’t migrate far.

There are far better ways to treat anxiety than to train a dog to bite everyone that comes near you.

The dog was put down and the owner was charged. Basically the animal paid with its life because of the owner's stupidity.

I feel bad for the child...terrible thing to happen. They should have put down the owner.


For the most part bad dogs are a result of breeding and training, not natural selection, IMO. People are the problem, first and foremost. Making an example out of owners would go a long way towards solving this problem, again, IMO.

I like the breed. They are very athletic and great companions, guard dogs, etc., (when properly bred and trained).

I've camped in RMNP. It is beautiful. So is the Texas Hill Country. Green with beautiful vistas. It's where I'll retire to.

I’m actually not a Texan. And it really doesn’t matter to me whether people like the place or not. Texas, like the other 49 states, isn't for everyone. My problem is when people who really don’t know dick about this state make uninformed remarks based on "driving through here twice". If I said all people in Colorado are dopers and pot heads and don’t do shit because they’re loaded all the time, would that be fair? Would that work for you? Being a Coloradoan, I’d hope not, because it would be a pretty ****ing stupid thing for me to say, wouldn’t you agree?

I'm going to bow out of this one hoping you'll see my point.

My daughter has two. They are the sweetest most loving dogs on the planet and wouldn't hurt a hair on anyone's head. They come over and play with my dog (who is not an alpha) and they all have a great time.

People.

We lucked out as we were in a pretty new development in PWC off of the relatively new parkway. The older sections of NoVA were hammered.

No need to bow out...
If I ever leave here, Texas is the only acceptable state to live in.
Preferably; Hills of Bandera.

I wasn't an infant, I was 9, and I wasn't dropped but hit by a car in the head.
