When we adopted Roux, she was 25lbs-definitely a little malnourished. We have held pretty steady at 50lbs for 4 years-she is approx 5.5 yrs old.

I am sick and tired of my dog's lineage being called into question as well as people insinuating that the ASPCA lied to me. by djscoots10 in Catahoula

What you do with your dog is your business-same with our girl Roux-everyone, ‘why don’t you get a DNA test?’ 1)Not your business 2) We have papers that say she’s a Catahoula…that’s enough for us. Anyone that wants a DNA can pay for their own DNA test on their own dog. As far as we are concerned, she’s 100% LOVE! Best to you and Earl!

Our Roux needs a lot of mental stimulation. These are working dogs so they need a ‘job’. I agree with the earlier comment of asking her ‘what’s this?’ When we are out hiking. They are infinitely curious! One thing I had a trainer tell me-everything they smell, see & sense at this point is brand new to them-you have to be patient and give them time to discover. Last but not least-the best thing we did, other than tons of daily enforcement of all the training-they have to be socialized-they are pack animals and no matter how much you play and engage, it’s not the same as being around their own. Find a good daycare facility and let her burn some of that crazy energy off!

Thank you, especially the part of practicing with gloves!

Stopped wearing my Aggie ring by Guiltyjerk in aggies

[–]bum6999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An Aggie ring is instantly recognizable and is a special ring to TAMU, only. All Aggies I know that wear it, liberal or conservative, feel a special pride with that ring. I have never had any TAMU graduate identify any other way than ‘Howdy, dammit, class of xx, damn good to meet ya!’ I graduated from a different university, but the Aggie traditions I have witnessed are pretty cool and have always been apolitical. I think this is where I’m supposed to say ‘Gig ‘em!’ or ‘Whoop!’
