Hamada, I have a serious question for you - my main interest in Islam is the
72 virgins - I wonder in truth if they really are virgins and if so, why?
If they are not good enough for their fathers and brothers, then they may
not be good enough for me. Thank you for any enlightenment. Allah be
praised.

Fear leads to hate. If you are in fear of your god, I pity you.
Mine is the god of love...

No wonder y'all hate everybody that is not Islam!

What a terrible way to live.

Om, just took my dog to the eye specialist - he has cataracts in one eye and
beginning in the other - he's only 4 years old.
so he is virtually blind in one eye - (not diabetic and he has a pedigree no
cataracts in his family history) - so now I have to monitor his other eye
and at some stage in the near future will have to consider an operation on
one or both eyes. Cost will be $2000 for one eye and $3500 for both eyes if
I have it done at once, Plus all the pain and suffering for the poor little
guy.
Joys of owning a pet!

Sorry to hear about your dog. I've spent thousands on my dogs and it's hurt
my bank acct at times, but the return is infinite. Hope your boy gets better
soon.

If you lock your dog and your wife in the trunk of your car for an hour,
which one will be happy to see you when you let them out? :-)

I think my wife - mainly because my dog would be dead. (my wife can't go an
hour without eatng something) -
(I am embarassed to admit but when I go away for a day or two on my own, I
miss my dog far more than my wife !!)

Here is your problem, a pedigree. Dogs with a pedigree are not healthy
in general, and they make their masters stupid too. Burn this thing and
your dog may get better. I know a lot of dogs without a pedigree - all
healthy. I know one dog with a pedigree and he has a cancer. Pedigrees
suck majorly, I'm telling you.

That would be evident given that your wife has not gone away, is still
at home with the dog, and therefore has no reason to miss the dog more
than you do!!

Have a great weekend Oz - you know that I intend to! ;o)

All a pedigree means to me is the lineage is known i,e the parents and
grandparents - so at least that is an advantage if you want to know if the
dog has a genetic issue

David, it is all in the text, If you had said:

>>> (I am embarassed to admit but when I go away for a day or two on my
own, I miss my dog far more than *I miss* my wife !!)then it would be
more correct I assume. Charles was just being confusing but correct
