I tease my 10 year old Rufus all the time about trading him in on a younger model, but I never would.

It sucks, but the bottom line is that humans and dogs are divergent in needs.  Dogs need large spaces, a job, and "packs" at a young age.  None of these are what we gives dogs anymore.

They are the "best friend" but they are also work animals.  They aren't designed to be kept at home, 12 hours a day by themselves.  

This is why I don't have a dog.  It would be cruel.

Tom McGill not all dogs are working dogs or sporting dogs. those do need stuff to do and hella exercise. but sltake pugs, for example. they not only don't need large spaces, the actually don't have the hardware to do a lot of running around. they are highly social and what /pugs/ need is company. dog breeds vary widely, and there is a breed to match pretty much any owner. just FYI.

Iquanyin Moon You do not understand much about the nature of the animals then.  This is why so many go abused through neglect and ignorance.  Just FYI.  (You might want to take a course in animal behaviour before opening your mouth to someone that might know a little bit about the subject).

Tom McGill​ um, I grew up in a family raising dogs. (not a puppy mill, a family.) I personally had a dog cat rabbit rats mice horses guineau pigs....I freaking train dogs (or did) and /without/ they typical semi-abusive methods some employ. I also can train a horse from scratch. western, English, trail. the wall of ribbons I won growing up in ghymkhana stood till my grandfather died.

Tom McGill​ its awesome that you care about animals! but its stupid to think someone sharing a new (to you) fact means they know nothing. I personally owned a pug in Oregon, a stray my friend found and I took in. that's how I came to read up on that particular breed. where on earth do you get the idea all dogs are alike? they aren't. but hey, lets hear about pugs from the American kennel club, shall we? https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://www.yourpurebredpuppy.com/reviews/pugs.html&ved=0CB0QFjAAahUKEwizstSnnZDGAhVHL4gKHUrXDjU&usg=AFQjCNHCGUkqpiFFanKhJiPhhOlRRyVh4w&sig2=478nIw-AAuutHD0CtqZu8Q

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p <==edited to add the correct link Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
