I am also new and having the same problem
Sherry,
LOL!
And as you day-um well
should be! 
Line,
I'm so glad you speak up when you see dogs in carriages!
Those poor dogs probably want
to be running around, but their stupid idiot owners won't let
them!
Anyone can see it's an entirely different thing than cats. Cats are...temperamental. They want things just so. You won't get a cat to move unless it's the cat's idea, and that's why taking one for a walk on a harness is definitely an exercise in futility - no pun intended! LOL.
But a dog doesn't have that desire to sit still for long periods of time. Cats love it. Dogs...well, their impatience is good in other ways.
LOL, that said, I seriously wish our girl would get a bit of energy and decide to really explore, not just lay in various spots close to each other...sniffing. Eating grass. Pulse-pounding excitement! Not.
And I agree, it's ridiculous to carry a dog around when there's no danger. Put the cutie on a harness or whatever, and let it walk! That will make for a far happier dog than carrying him/her around.
The girl was actually carrying her dog around on the beach with nobody else around?! Words cannot express the utter stupidity!
Absolutely not...a sleeping dog can't in any way be considered aggressive. That's crazy. Maybe she was the one afraid of big dogs and projected the aggressiveness onto your dog sleeping! But that's only in her mind, anyway.
I can't imagine...she didn't get her dog used to big dogs beforehand? The mind boggles! You can't leave a dog unprepared for that. What did she expect to do, talk to everyone with a large dog and say, "Get your dog out of here"? Then after that, I guess she wanted to tell people with smaller dogs to get out, so her dog might not be afraid of competition! Sarcasm.
How cool that the other people there laughed at her as you were telling her off...she deserved it!
At least you were the catalyst for the ittle dog no longer being afraid of big dogs, for being socialized with big dogs. Good for you! I'm
sure if that little dog could talk, it would thank you for it not
being afraid of big dogs any more!
I agree that it's a no-brainer to see to it that a little dog isn't terrified of big dogs...particularly if showing or out in public or something. And as for those strollers...leave them for the cats! People can be so idiotic.
Would you be interested in learning beading? Because I'd be happy to teach you. If you like crochet, I think
you'd like beading. It's actually quite relaxing
to weave beads to make a bracelet or a necklace or
something. Handmade bling can be
yours!
Nothing wrong with you being curious. But then does that make me
the man in the yellow hat? LOL.
Hugs,
Melanie
Melanie,
Yes, they use them for dogs..
I can't stop commenting on it when I see it.. I usually say something like this, and very loud: "Oh no.. Look at the poor puppe, it doesn't have any legs, maybe it should just have been put down, if it is not able to walk"... People actually gets embarrased... But what do I care, it's a dog for crying out loud.. It was made for walking on it's four paws.. :p
I can't help myself when attending a dog show either, and I see these girls walking around with their small chihuahuas in their arms.. I can understand it if there are a LOT of people, simply out of security for the dog (why do people not pay attention to where they are walking?).. But seriously.. There's no need for carrying the dog around an intire day..
Once I saw a girl walking around with her dog on the beach... There were no people, but still she was walking around with the small dog in her arms.. *facepalm*
Hahaha.. At another show, I was actually asked to leave the ringside with Jamie from one of the contestants.. The reason: Her chihuahua was afraid of big dogs, and would not go completely out to the corners of the ring.. I was in shock.. A show dog that could not be distracted from the other dogs.. I was supposed to go in the ring next, so I wouldn't leave...
She kept coming over asking me to go away from the ring with my big agressive dog..
I told her that if she wanted a show dog, who would not have to be PULLED around in the ring but actually walking by it self, she might want to rethink the whole socializing with big dogs issue before harressing another participant in the show, who merely was standing by to go in the ring... And that she maybe might wanna reconsider calling my dog agressive when whe was laying on the floor sleeping..
The people who was there watching the show laughed so hard that the girl whit the chihuahua decided to leave, all red in the face.. What an ass.. -.-'
Calling my sleeping dog agressive.. I see.. I don't think she have ever seen an agressive dog..
When I asked one of her friends who was also in the ring, and who happened to be one of my close friends what that was all about she said: "Well.. xxx has never socialised the puppy with big dogs, she have never even seen a big dog before.."
So I took Jamie, went in the ring, won, went over to the girl and asked her if she would like me to help her socialize her pup with big dogs.. She didn't want to, right untill I pulled my own chihuahua from the hat (I had one at that time, but she unfortunately had her ass kicked by my cats... :p so I had to give her back to the breeder).. She then saw that Jamie did absolutely nothing, she just lay there wacthing the cupe puppy who was sitting in its owners arms..
Next time at the show, I was standing at the ring side again, and the little chihuahua pup won the entire show in it's class.. All because it wasn't afraid of the big dog laying there on the ring side watching
Anyhow.. The point to the whole story is that I can't refrain from speaking up when seeing girls carrying their small dogs on the arm because it is "afraid" of big dogs, people, what ever..
And I really do not get the stroller for dogs.. *facepalm*
Too bad about the fishing lines. I do not do beading - I was just very curious.. (I'm the human worlds Curious George)..
Hugs

Suzieq,
Welcome!
The option definitely hasn't been removed. What do you show as your options in the pulldown for #7 where it says: "Pattern or Word Chart:"? It should say:
Graph Only
Word Chart Only

It isn't showing on mine either. There's no
option for a word chart. Bummer. Word charts are so much easier for
me to follow than graphs.
I am also new and having the same problem
