My dumbass cat died a few weeks ago so we are in the market for a dog.

I want a golden and there are several in my neighborhood who all came from the same breeder in NC. They are all happy and healthy and beautiful dogs.

My wants a mutt from a shelter.

I think dogs are a major part of a family and I like knowing where they came from. I don't mind investing a few $$ in that.

Some people tell me its basically murder.

What say you?

You have several options. As a board member of my local SPCA, we always strive to place animals from within the system, but the choice is ultimately yours.

If, for whatever reason, you feel like you absolutely must have a pure bred, then a breeder is the way to go. But if brand name isn't of that much importance, check your local SPCA and any rescue organizations. Rescues are becoming more and more popular simply because they are generally privately funded, while the non-profits are struggling in this economy. My SPCA relies on rescue organizations all over the east coast and we work with everyone and anyone who can help.

The economy also costs animals, as we are seeing more and more abandoned animals simply because owners cannot afford to take care of them.

Think about it is all I'm asking.

SPCA all the way, if I get another pet I want to save a life.

Sorry about your kitteh.

Go to the shelter definitely.

I saved my kitthehs life and it makes me feel just that teeny bit better when Sarah Mclachlan makes me feel like a complete asshole.

I always give a dollar when I go to PetSmart too..

its just good knowing you saved their life :)

I have 3 rescues and one pure bred..So I go both ways :)

If stupid flippin' pet owners would learn to spay and neuter their pets..we wouldn't have such a problem

Damn, you're a dog lady!

I mean that in the right way! :)

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      Valid, and throw in that what Wilson and Smith did is not out of the ordinary for a WCO

      The season is over, and we're going to get clowned on by Mayfield and Darnold before it's over.

      Darnold was pretty bad until last year.  He implodes mentally, its just what he does.  To this day I dont have a problem with letting him walk.   Baker is a bit different.  He was an ass in Cleveland and they couldnt deal with his poo, but he at least had talent and went to the playoffs.  So you know he could play at least.  There were different stories coming out from the time he got here, competing with Sam and then the practice team release fiasco.  Both good and bad.  Some say he was a good teammate others say he bitched behind the scenes.   From what it appears his wife has worked with him and he calmed down and his play has reflected that.  Tampa loves him.  So if we were going to keep one it probably should have been him but man he was really bad for us.  But to his defense he didnt get the first team reps until late into camp.     In obvious hindsight we should have signed Baker cheap, drafted a dude and let the cards play out, but you know the rest of the story and now we are going to have to watch bryce for 2 more years

      Again his one year calling plays happened to be Baker's lowest YPA not counting his split year hear.  That tells me he was less aggressive with a QB who likes to be aggressive.  We have that and almost 2 full years of Bryce Ball here in Carolina.  He will take some deeps shots as most offenses have to in order to keep the defense honest.  Quick passes and hopeful YAC.  I'll give you one guess to which year Rachaad White had the most receptions as TB's RB?  Remember the first thing he wanted to do here is focus on how quickly he wanted to get the ball out.  That's part of his recipe to help QBs and help his OL.  Run the ball, quick passes to hopefully players in space, sprinkle in a little PA.   So yeah you can look at some coaches he learned under and speculate, but I am telling you what he literally is doing and has done as a play caller.  Offenses that were and are 100% his baby.
