MichelleMeyer Webboard User Reg: 06-28-2006 Posts: 63 Loc: Washington Offline	Quote: Connie Sutherland  Quote: Dennis Jones I was being hyperbolic... I knew that you didn't really mean it was illegal in some states. In all actuality, it really is illegal in some states/cities. The laws generally were intended to prevent dying bunnies and chicks for Easter, but were written in such a way that it makes it illegal to dye dogs there too. Florida and Boulder,Colorado are places with those laws. There may be more. http://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/15559998/detail.html# Personally, I'm not sure they really meant to make coloring your pet illegal...one of those cases where laws affect more than they were meant to. I don't really see the cuteness factor in it, but I don't necessarily see it as harmful either....when safe substances are used. It may even increase the dog/human bond in some relationships.

Barbara Schuler Webboard User Reg: 01-15-2009 Posts: 5090 Loc: Lanexa Virginia Offline	Quote: scott garrett I might be stirring a pot of bees here but, in my opinion people on this forum do tend to over-react instead of asking a question that could prevent an argument by not putting someone else into a defensive position. I take this with exactly the good intentions it was meant and appreciate your point. I find the vast majority of posts, even the "passionate/opinionated" responses on this site almost always have a tempered and respectful tone. At least the "passionate/defensive" posts are NORMALLY in the defense or an animal, which is a good thing. Sometimes, even in the case of a "rut roh, I shouldn't have gone there" - someone learns something, even if it is about themselves and how to react next time (referring to myself!)

Dennis Jones Webboard User Reg: 06-13-2004 Posts: 3389 Loc: Richmond Va Offline	My Roxie is solid black http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v608/gunnerjones/roxie005-2.jpg except for some unfortunate white penciling around her anus which really draws undue attention, I'm thinking of dying them black or taking a black "Sharpe" pen to them. One can imagine Mrs Jones' response: "Husband, What on earth are you doing to that dog with that pen?!?!"

Heck, here I thought you were going to give us a picture of the unfortunate white parts. Hmmm... or would that be like when I e-mail my hubby pics of the kids when he's overseas. I'm forever having to strategically edit in blurry patches before sending those. Can't ever keep the little buggers fully dressed. Then we'd have a pixelated image of unfortunate white marks. As per Connie's suggestion.... These are little kids here. No children were harmed in the e-mailing of those photos.

Now Dennis, I know how well trained your dogs are, but if you ever decide to do this, PLEASE make sure Mrs. Jones has COMPLETE and TOTAL CONTROL OF THE KEY TO THE BEER CABINET!!

"Poking a hornet's nest" and "stirring the pot," yes...... This wasn't how it was meant initially, but here goes on "stirring a pot of bees." The recipes for carob fudge and chocolate larvae would be pertinent. http://www.fao.org/docrep/w0076e/w0076e20.htm Also if you would like another viewpoint of "poking a hornet's nest".... http://eat.bees.net/wasp2.htm http://eat.bees.net/wasp1.htm
