Debbie - it is very good of you to infer that there is a missing link between Pems and Cardis because previously you dispayed great conviction that they are unrelated.

There is a saying: if the boot fits, wear it.

Dogs are people - just a different kind. Dogs have all the emotiions that humans have and those of us who understand this, threat dogs , well differently, from those who can't see past the square.

One thing we might agree on is the use of the word bitch to signify a female dog. I never use this word in respect of a female dog and you always don't complete the word when you use it - thus b*tch. My book, Amazing Dog Stories, not once refers to a female dog as a bitch. And neither does any of the hundreds of articles and stories I have had published in mags, newspapers etc. And the reason why I don't use the word bitch is because it is still regarded by most humans as a rude and abusive word so I cannot see the point of using it to describe a female dog. I have too much respect for dogs. Dogs can be males, females, boys, girls, fellows. To me a dog is a dog ie either female or male. Not dog = male and bitch = female. Doesn't make much sense. So I am doing my little bit to change thinking.

What do other members think?
