    Isn't it time to find homes for those puppies? I predict a riot when that happens, or an en masse sobfest.

    @Fishnets and Cigarettes: "Thank you for viewing the Shiba Inus puppycam. We are happy to tell you that all the puppies have found wonderful homes on farms far away from here, where they'll have plenty of room to run about and chase butterflies. Please come back in approximately three weeks for our next season, Sitzu PuppyCam."

    The be-clogged person who came into play with them always reminded me a bit of Mr. Pipe, the guy Ren & Stimpy encounter when selling rubber nipples door-to-door--only because I've never actually seen his face.

    @it takes a lot to laugh: Well, they haven't really come of age at eight weeks. They're still babies and still devoted to their brothers and sisters and their original family. I hope some day people who raise dogs will become enlightened enough to keep them together longer. But I'm not really too optimistic. I stay home from parties out of consideration for others who would rather think about something more cheerful. so everyone can stay merry and bright.

    hey, we've been loyal puppycam followers almost since the begining! there is something so sweet and wonderful about the whole experience & their humans did an awesome job w/ them. in an insane world like ours it is very soothing (& sometimes downright hysterical) to tune in to the puppies for a little break. don't knock it til you've tried it!

    They should have a network of puppy cams. Pick your breed or maybe even have a dog/cat cam at the Humane Society or the ASPCA. People would fall in love with a potential pet, go there, and adopt them stat.


    I know I would go nuts if a Basset Hound puppy cam started up. That would be constantly on in the upper right hand corner of my monitor, and I would freak out over their cuteness 24 /7.

    "Our dogs are pure bread."


    Ahem, assuming they aren't operating a bakery and have not somehow magically animated baked goods, I'm goin' with honky-tonk backyard breeders.


    Grrrrr the god damned shelters are bursting at their seams. Why do ignorant people insist on doing this? (I just answered my own question, didn't I?)

    I think if people started campaigning against backyard breeders the way they do against puppy mills people would wise up. Ultimately, backyard breeders aren't trying to do harm (usually), they're just stupid, as you said! (nonesuch, not Minsley) I think if they knew, due to societal pressure, how risky it can be and the downsides, less people would be likely to breed their beloved pups.

    What a wonderful mom, she is? I disagree with puppy mills churning out puppies, however I am a supporter of natural reproduction if one so chooses. I decided against having my dogs fixed, because that to me isn't really humane(rather unnecessary at times. I'm a responsible pet owner, though.

    @Gatcha_Journalism: Do you have male or female dogs? If you have female dogs, you should know that going into heat is very difficult on their little bodies. It literally can shorten their lives. It is for their own health to have them spayed. (and personally, I believe males need it for the reasons e.varden listed above, esp. the overpopulation of pets already in existence)


    And, although mutts are the healthiest of all breeds, if you don't know what you're doing (ie. a degree in genetics), you should not be breeding. Anything less IS irresponsible.

    Um, not to be a total girl or anything, but when will there be a kitteh cam, so I can just like explode from cuteness?


    I, however, draw the line at hamsters and gerbils. Say it with me everyone...they're not cute, running on a wheel is anti-climatic, they're born raw, and may be eaten by their mothers, thereby making them boring and cannibalistic, as opposed to cannibalistic and humorous, which must be what everyone thinks domesticated rodents are. That includes you BUNNIES and GUINEA PIGS!

    @Private Hangnail: Oh, yes I'm quite aware of their despicable rodentness. And despite the dead eye thing, which you're right is totally unnecessarily creepy, they stink! I mean, really, like stink. They shit. and stink. all day, endlessly. like little turd factories. So they have dead, beady eyes, they stink, and make god-awful noises when prodded with a chopstick to check if they're living, even though the never-ending turds should be a clue. Anyway, yeah.


    (The chopstick thing is totally real. Don't ever ask me to watch your stinky, little, rodent thingies. Oh, and don't get me started on BABOONS!)

    @hamburgerhotdog: Yes, this is however the extent of the bunny existence on this planet. There are probably a myriad of photos showing them perched on something, under something, or with tiny hats, because that really exhausts their usefulness in our society. Unless we can go back to building homes out of their copious dung.


    @ribex: I would never deign to actually touch said guinea pig, which is why I use a chopstick designed specifically for poking undesirables. I can thank Joey, Chandler, and Phoebe for the inspiration.

    @Spirit Fingers: Thankfully you did not mention rats. I'm assuming that's because you know that rats, scary as some people may find them, make wonderful pets. They have great personalities, do not smell unless you leave the cage uncleaned too long, are wonderfully smart, are personable, and don't bite! If one has to have a rodent for a pet, rats are the way to go!
